Taneo 1
1 Juda kini ne' Jehoiakimi'ma 3'a kafuma kinima nemanigeno'a, Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a Jerusalemi kumate vahe ha' eme huzmante'naku sondia vahe zaga'ane eno Jerusalemi kumara eme avazagi kagi'ne.
After King Jehoiakim had been ruling in Judah for almost three years, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came to Jerusalem [with his army] and surrounded the city.
2 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Nebukatnesa azampi Juda kini ne' Jehoiakimina avrentegeno azenerino, Anumzamofo ra mono nompima eri'zama eneriza zantaminena eri'ne. Ana huteno erino Babiloni vuno, havi anumza'amofo mono nompima fenozama nentazafi omente'ne.
[After two years, ] Yahweh allowed Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] to capture Jehoiakim, [who was the] King of Judah. They also took some of the things that were in the temple of God, and took them to Babylonia. There Nebuchadnezzar put them in the temple of his god.
3 Ana huteno kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a, agri nompima eri'zama eneriza vahete'ma ugotama huno kegavama hu'nea ne' Aspenasina hunteno, Israeli kini ne'mofo nagapinti'ene Juda kva vahe'mokizmi nagapintira,
Then Nebuchadnezzar commanded Ashpenaz, the chief official in his palace, to bring [to him] some of the Israeli men [whom they had brought to Babylon. He wanted men] who belonged to important families, including the family of the King of Judah.
4 vunka kasefa vahe'ma zamafuhe zamafahe'ma osu'nesiane, hiranto zamavugosa huzmante'nesiane knare antahi'zampima avite'nesazane, maka antahintahi'zama rempi hu'za antahi'zantema knare hu'nesazane, maka nanekema ame hu'za antahiama'ma nehu'za, kini ne'mofo nompima eri'zama eri antahi'zama ani'ma hu'nesnaza nahezaverami, ome zamavarenka enka Babiloni vahe'mokizmi zamagerura rempi hunezaminka, avoma kreno hampri'zana rempi huzamio huno hunte'ne.
[King Nebuchadnezzar wanted only] men who were very healthy, handsome/good-looking, wise, well-educated, capable of learning many things, and suitable for working in the palace. He also wanted to teach them the Babylonian language and have them read things that had been written in the Babylonian language.
5 Nehuno kini nemo'a huno, Maka zupa nagri nompinti knare zantfama hu'nea ne'zane waini tinena negahaze huno huzmante'ne. Ana nahezaveramina 3'a kafufi rempia huzamitesnage'za, henka ufre'za kini ne'mofo eri'zana erigahaze.
The king commanded [his servants], “Give them the same kind of food and wine that is given to me. Train them for three years. Then they will become my servants.”
6 Ana vahe amunompina, Juda naga'nofipinti nehazaveramina, Danieli'ma, Hanania'ma, Misaeli'ma, Azariaki hu'za mani'naze.
Among the young Israeli men [who were chosen] were [me], Daniel, and Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, who all came from Judah.
7 Hanki ugota kva ne' Aspenesa'a ana nagara ru zamagima ante zami'neana amanahu hu'ne. Danielinkura Belsasa'e nehuno, Hananiankura Setraki'e nehuno, Misaelinkura Misaki'e nehuno, Azariankura Abetnego'e huno zamagia antezami'ne.
But Ashpenaz gave us [Babylonian] names. The name he gave to me was Belteshazzar, the name he gave to Hananiah was Shadrach, the name he gave to Mishael was Meshach, and the name he gave to Azariah was Abednego.
8 Hianagi Danieli'a Anumzamofo avure'ma agra'ama azeri pehenama hu'zanku, kini ne'mofo nompinti'ma ne'zane waini tinema negahazema huno'ma hia nanekegura Aspenasina antahigeno, knare natresankena kini ne'mofo nompintira ne'zana onegahuo huno antahige'ne.
But I decided that I would not eat the kind of food that the king ate, or drink the wine that he drank, because that would make me (ritually defiled/unacceptable to God). So I asked Ashpenaz to allow me to eat and drink other things.
9 Hanki anante Anumzamo'a Aspenasi agu'afina asunku'za antentegeno, Danielina asunku hunenteno aza hunaku hu'ne.
God had caused Ashpenaz to greatly respect me,
10 Hianagi Aspenasi'a amanage huno Danielina asami'ne. Nagra kini nekura koro nehue. Na'ankure agra'a huhamprino e'inahu e'inahu ne'zane tinena negahaze huno huhampri'ne. Ana hu'neankino tamagri tamavufgamo'a hariri huno, mago'a tamagranema e'naza nehazavemokizmi zamavufaga gna'ma osanigeno'a, kini ne'mo'a nananke rukafrigahie.
but he was worried about what I suggested. He said, “My master, the king, has commanded that you eat the kinds of food and drink that he does. If [you eat other things and as a result] you become more thin and pale than the other young men who are your age, he will [order his soldiers to] cut off my head because of what you have done!”
11 Anante kini ne'mo'a huntegeno, Danielima, Hananiama, Misaelinema, kegavama huzmante'nea ne' Aspenasi'a mago eri'za ne' huntegeno Danieli'a amanage huno asami'ne.
Ashpenaz had ordered a guard to watch me, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
12 Muse hugantoanki eri'za vahekamota avame antenka, 10ni'a knamofo agu'afina, hozafi ne'zane, kasefa tine tamigeta namneno.
So I said to this guard: “[Please] test us for ten days. [During that time] give us [only] vegetables to eat and water to drink.
13 Hagi 10ni'a knama evutesigenka, kini ne'mofo nompinti'ma ne'zama nenaza nehazavemokizmi zamavufaga negenka, tagri tavufga negenka hutenka, henka nazano kagri eri'za vahe'motama hurante'naku'ma hanana zana amne hugahane.
After ten days, see how we look, and see how the other young men look, the ones who are eating the kind of food that the king eats. Then you can decide about [what food you will let us eat].”
14 Higeno anama kegavama huzmante'nea ne'mo'a anagema haza nanekerera mago arimpa nehuno, 10ni'a knafi avamera anteno zamage'ne.
The guard agreed to do what I suggested, and he tested us like that for ten days.
15 Hagi 10ni'a knama evutegeno'a, kegavama huzmante'nea ne'mo'a zamageana, Danieline 3'a nagamokizmi zamavufagamo'a masavenke huno knare zantfa nehuno, kini ne'mofo nompinti'ma ne'zama nenaza nehazaveramina zamagatere'ne.
After ten days, [he saw that] my three friends and I looked healthier [DOU] than the young men who had been eating the food that the king wanted them to eat.
16 Ana higeno kegavama huzmante'nea ne'mo'a, knare'nare ne'zane waini tinema zamio huno'ma kini ne'mo'ma hu'neana netreno, hozafi ne'zane kasefa tine zamino vu'ne.
So after that, the guard gave us [only] vegetables to eat; he did not give us the king’s special food and wine.
17 Hanki Danieline ana 3'a nehazave nagara Anumzamo'a antahintahi'zane ama' antahi'zanena zamige'za, avontafepima ruzahu ruzahu nanekema krente'nazana rempi huvagare'za ana maka antahi'naze. Ana nehazageno ruzahu ruzahu avanagna zane, ava'namofo agafa'a eriama hu antahi'zana Anumzamo'a Danielina ami'ne.
And God gave to us four young men wisdom and the ability to study many things that Babylonians had written and studied. And [he also gave to] me the ability to understand the meaning of visions and dreams.
18 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma knama ante'nea knamo'a ehanatigeno, kini nemo'a ana nehazaveramina zamavareta efreho huno higeno, kini ne'mofo eri'za vahete kva ne' Aspenasi'a zamavareno kini ne' Nebukatnesa avuga vu'ne.
When those three years that the king had set for training us young men from Judah were ended, Ashpenaz brought all of us to King Nebuchadnezzar.
19 Ana higeno kini ne'mo'ma ana nehazaveraminema keagama huno zamageana, Danieli'ma, Hanania'ma, Misaeli'ma Azari'enema hazankna vahera magore huno omanine. Ana higeno kini ne'mo'a zamavarentege'za agri'ma antahintahima ami' eri'za vahe mani'naze.
The king talked with [each of] us, and realized that none of the other young men were as capable as Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah and I were. So we four became the king’s special advisors/servants.
20 Kini ne'mo'ma ana 4'a nehazaveramima, knare antahintahine, ama' antahi'zanku'ma zamantahigeno'ma keana, maka Babiloni mopafima antahi'zane vahe'ene, kagu'vazama erifore'ma nehaza vahe'ene, zagoma neraza vahe'ene kini ne'mofoma antahi'zama nemiza vahera razampi ruzmagatere'naze.
In all important matters, the king found that what we [four men] advised was ten times as good as what all the magicians and sorcerers/fortune-tellers in his kingdom advised.
21 Hagi Danieli'a ana eri'zama'a erino nevigeno vuno, Sairusi'ma erigafa huno Babiloni kinima mania kafure uhanati'ne.
I remained [there serving the king more than 60 years], until the first year that Cyrus became king.
