Daniela 1
1 Tamy taom-paha-telo’ Iehoiakìme mpanjaka’ Iehodày, le nionjomb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele vaho niarikoboñe’e.
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2 Natolo’ i Talè am-pità’e t’Iehoiakime, mpanjaka’ Iehodà reketse ty ila’ o fàna’ i anjomban’Añahareio vaho nendese’e mb’añ’akiban-drahare’e an-tane Sinare añe, naho nazili’e an-drihan-kibohon-drahare’e ao o fanakeo.
The LORD gave Jehoiakim 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 Le nisaontsie’ i mpanjakay amy Aspenaze, mpifehem-pitoro’e, ty hañandesa’e ana’ Israele naho tirim-panjàka vaho ana-donake;
The king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the people of Israel, even of the royal family and of the nobles;
4 ze ajalahy tsy aman-kila tsy aman-kandra, maràm-bintañe, naòke amy ze atao hilala, mahihitse am-paharendrehañe naho mahimbañe am-pitsikarahañe naho maozatse am-batañe hahafijohañe añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay vaho haòke ami’ty fanokirañe naho fisaontsi’ o nte Kasdìo.
youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and endowed with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the language of the Chaldeans.
5 Le tinendre’ i mpanjakay ho a’ iareo ty anjara boak’ andro amo raha mafiri’ i mpanjakaio naho amy divay fikama’ey; izay ty famahanañe iareo telo taoñe, soa t’ie modo le hiatrake i mpanjakay.
The king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's royal food, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at its end they should stand before the king.
6 Am’ iereo o ana’ Iehodào: i Daniele, i Kananià, i Misaele vaho i Azarià;
Now among these were, of the people of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
7 le tinolo’ i mpifehe’ o mpitoroñeoy añarañe: natolo’e amy Daniele ty hoe Beltsatsare; le amy Kananià ty hoe: Sadrake naho amy Misaele ty hoe: Mesàke vaho amy Azarià ty hoe: Abednego.
The prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: to Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
8 Fe naereñere’ i Daniele an-troke te tsy handeo-batañe amy anjara mahakama’ i mpanjakaiy naho amy divay fikama’ey; aa le nihalalie’e i mpifehem-pitoroñey t’ie tsy handeo-batañe.
But Daniel determined in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's royal food, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
9 Ie amy zao, natolon’Añahare amy Daniele, añamy mpifehem-pitoroñey, fiferenaiñañe naho falalàñe.
Now God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.
10 Le hoe i mpifehem-pitoroñey amy Daniele, añeveñako i talèko mpanjakay, ie fa nanendre ty mahakama’ areo naho ty finoma’ areo; amy t’ie mahaisake ty lahara’ areo monjemonjetse te amo ajalahi’e ila’e mitraoke’ ama’ areoo, le ho ozoñe’ areo ty lohako añatrefa’ i mpanjakay.
The prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, "I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths who are of your own age? So would you endanger my head with the king."
11 Aa le hoe t’i Daniele amy Meltsare, nampifeleha’ i mpifehem-pitoroñey i Daniele naho i Kananià, i Misaele, vaho i Azarià,
Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
12 Ehe, venteo heike ami’ty andro folo abey o mpitoro’oo, le fahano añañe ho fihina’ay naho rano ho finome’ay.
"Test your servants for ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.
13 Le ampisarieñe añatrefa’o eo henane zay o tarehe’aio naho ty lahara’ o ajalahy mpikama amy anjara’ i mpanjakaio; le ano ty amy hahaoniña’o o mpitoro’oo.
Then let our faces be looked on before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king's royal food; and as you see, deal with your servants."
14 Aa le niantofa’e, vaho niventè’e andro folo;
So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them ten days.
15 ie nimodo i folo àndroy, le nisoa vintañe naho sometsetse ty sandri’ iareo te amo ajalahy nihinañe ami’ty anjara mahakama’ i mpanjakaio.
At the end of ten days their faces appeared better and fatter than all the youths who ate of the king's royal food.
16 Aa le nasita’ i mpiatrakey ty anjara mahakama naho divay ho namahana’e iareo vaho nanjotsoa’e vokan-teteke.
So the steward took away their royal food, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them vegetables.
17 Le tinolon’ Añahare hilala naho hihitse amy ze atao taratasy naho fitsikarahañe i ajalahy efatse rey; mbore naharendreke ze aroñaroñe naho nofy iaby t’i Daniele.
Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
18 Naho nitampetse i andro natao’ i mpanjakay ho faneseañe iareo rezay, le nampihovà’ i mpifehem-pitoroñey añatrefa’ i Nebokadnetsare eo.
At the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
19 Nifanaontsy am’ iereo i mpanjakay, fe tsy teo ty nañirinkiriñe i Daniele naho i Kananià naho i Misaele vaho i Azarià; aa le nijohañe añatrefa’ i mpanjakay iereo.
The king talked with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore they entered the king's service.
20 Nioni’ i mpanjakay te nilikoare’ iereo im-polo ze hene ambiasa naho mpañorik’andro am-pifehea’e ao ami’ty hihitse naho hilala.
In every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm.
21 Nitoloñe ao ampara’ty taom-baloha’ i Korese t’i Daniele.
Daniel continued even to the first year of king Koresh.
