Daniel 1
1 In yac aktolu ke Jehoiakim el tokosra in acn Judah, Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun acn Babylonia el tuh mweuni acn Jerusalem ac kuhlasla siti uh.
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, came Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, against Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2 Leum El lela tuh elan sruokilya Tokosra Jehoiakim ac usla kutu mwe kasrup lun Tempul uh. El tuh usla kutu mwet sruoh welul folokla nu ke tempul lun god lal in acn Babylon, ac filiya ma saok inge ke nien filma in tempul lalos uh.
And the Lord gave Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar, to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.
3 Tokosra el tuh sapkin nu sel Ashpenaz, su leum fin mwet pwapa lal, elan sulela kutu mukul fusr Israel su ma in sou lun tokosra ac sou lun mwet leum, su wi muta in sruoh.
And the king commanded Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the sons of Israel of the king's race, and of the princes,
4 Elos su solla inge enenu in mwet na oasku, lalmwetmet, pah in orekma, lalkung, ac wangin ma koluk ke manolos, tuh elos fah fal in kulansap inkul lun tokosra. Ma kunal Ashpenaz in lotelosyang in ku in rit ac sim ke kas Babylonia.
youths in whom was no blemish, and well favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and having knowledge and intelligence and strength, to stand as servants in the king's palace, and be taught the writing and the language of the Chaldaeans.
5 Tokosra el oayapa sapkin tuh in kitakat elos len nukewa ke mwe mongo ac wain su ma mwet inkul fulat elos eis uh. Tukun lutiyuk elos ke yac tolu, elos ac utuku nu ye mutal tokosra.
And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's food, and of the wine which he drank; so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand as servants before the king.
6 Inmasrlon mwet ma tuh solla inge pa Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, ac Azariah — elos kewa ma in sruf lun Judah.
Now among these were, of the sons of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
7 Leum fulat lun mwet pwapa uh sang ine sasu inge nu selos: Belteshazzar, Shadrach, Meshach ac Abednego.
And the prince of the eunuchs gave them other names. To Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
8 Daniel el tuh sulela elan tia kang mwe mongo ac nim mwe nim ma kitakat mwet inkul fulat uh kac, pwanang ac tuh akfohkfokye manol. Ouinge el siyuk sel Ashpenaz tuh elan kasrel,
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
9 ac God El oru tuh Ashpenaz elan etaten nu sel Daniel.
And God gave Daniel favor and kindness from the prince of the eunuchs.
10 Tusruktu Ashpenaz el sangeng sel tokosra, ac el fahk nu sel Daniel, “Tokosra el pakiya tari ma kom in kang ac nim, ac fin tia wo finsroam oana tulik sayom inge, na el ac ku na in uniyuwi.”
And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink; for he might see your faces in worse condition than the youths of your age; then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.
11 Ouinge Daniel el som nu yurin mwet se ma Ashpenaz el tuh srisrngiya in liyalang ac mwet kawuk tolu lal.
Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12 Ac el fahk nu sel, “Srike kut ke len singoul, ac use na fokinsak kut in kang, ac kof kut in nim.
Try thy servants ten days, and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
13 Na kom fah liye lah manosr ac oa kac monin tulik ma kang mongo ke inkul lun leum uh, na kom fah oru sulela lom an fal nu ke ma kom liye an.”
Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenances of the youths that eat of the portion of the king's meat; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
14 Na mwet sac insese elos in srike ke len singoul.
And he consented to them in this matter, and tried them ten days.
15 Tukun len singoul ah, Daniel ac mwet kawuk tolu lal ah arulana fokoko ac wo finsroalos liki tulik nukewa ma kang mongo nun mwet leum uh.
And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate the portion of the king's meat.
16 Ouinge in pacl sac lac, mwet se ma liyaltalang ah lela eltal in mongo fokinsak na, ac tia kang mongo ma tokosra el sang elos in kang.
So the steward took away the portion of their meat, and the wine which they should drink, and gave them pulse.
17 God El sang nu sin mwet fusr akosr ah etauk yohk, ac sasla in riti sramsram matu ac lalmwetmet. Sayen ma inge, El sang pac nu sel Daniel in ku in akkalemye kalmen aruruma ac mweme.
And God gave these four youths knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
18 Ke sun saflaiyen yac tolu ma tokosra el pakiya, Ashpenaz el pwanla mwet fusr nukewa nu ye mutal Nebuchadnezzar.
And at the end of the days, when the king had commanded him to bring them before him, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
19 Tokosra el sramsram nu selos nukewa, ac arulana fwefela sel Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael ac Azariah yohk liki mwet fusr nukewa saya ah. Ouinge elos weang kulansap nu sin tokosra.
And the king conversed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore they stood as servants before the king.
20 Finne kain siyuk fuka ma tokosra el siyuk, ku kain elya ma el ac srukak, mwet fusr akosr inge etu pacl singoul yohk liki kutena mwet susfa ku mwet inutnut su oasr ke tokosrai lal uh nufon.
And in all matters of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the scribes and magicians that were in all his realm.
21 Daniel el mutana inkul fulat se inge nwe ke na Cyrus, tokosra fulat lun Persia, el kutangla acn Babylonia.
And Daniel lived even to the first year of Cyrus the king.
