Danilo 1
1 Godine treæe carovanja Joakima cara Judina doðe Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski na Jerusalim, i opkoli ga.
In the third year of the reign of Joakim king of Juda, came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2 I Gospod mu dade u ruku Joakima cara Judina i dio sudova doma Božijega, i odnese ih u zemlju Senar u dom boga svojega, i metnu sudove u riznicu boga svojega.
And the Lord gave into his hand Joakim king of Juda, and part of the vessels of the house of God: and he brought them into the land of Sennaar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.
3 I reèe car Asfenazu starješini svojih dvorana da dovede izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh, i od carskoga sjemena i od knezova
And the king told Asphanez his chief eunuch, to bring in some of the captive children of Israel, and of the seed of the kingdom, and of the princes;
4 Mladiæa na kojima nema mane, i koji su lijepa lica i nauèeni svakoj mudrosti i vješti znanju i razumni i koji mogu stajati u carskom dvoru, pa da ih uèi knjigu i jezik Haldejski.
young men in whom was no blemish, and beautiful in appearance, and skilled in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and acquainted with prudence, and who had ability to stand in the house before the king, and the king gave commandment to teach them the learning and language of the Chaldeans.
5 I odredi im car obrok na dan od jela carskoga i od vina koje on pijaše, da se hrane tri godine a poslije da stoje pred carem.
And the king appointed them a daily portion from the king's table, and from the wine which he drank; and [gave orders] to nourish them three years, and [that] afterwards they should stand before the king.
6 A meðu njima bjehu od sinova Judinijeh Danilo, Ananija, Misailo i Azarija.
Now these were amongst them of the children of Juda, Daniel, and Ananias, and Azarias, and Misael.
7 A starješina nad dvoranima predje im imena, i Danilu nadje ime Valtasar, a Ananiji Sedrah, a Misailu Misah, a Azariji Avdenago.
And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Baltasar; and to Ananias, Sedrach; and to Misael, Misach; and to Azarias, Abdenago.
8 Ali Danilo naumi da se ne skvrni obrokom jela careva i vinom koje on pijaše, i zamoli se starješini nad dvoranima da se ne skvrni.
And Daniel purposed in his heart, that he would not defile himself with the king's table, nor with the wine of his drink: and he entreated the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
9 I dade Bog Danilu te naðe milost i ljubav u starješine nad dvoranima.
Now God [had] brought Daniel into favour and compassion with the chief of the eunuchs.
10 I reèe starješina nad dvoranima Danilu: bojim se gospodara svojega cara, koji vam je odredio jelo i piæe; jer kad car vidi lica vaša lošija nego u ostalih mladiæa, vaših vrsnika, zašto da mi uèinite da budem glavom kriv caru?
And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your meat and your drink, lest he see your countenances gloomy in comparison of the young men your equals; also shall you endanger my head to the king.
11 A Danilo reèe Amelsaru, kojega starješina nad dvoranima postavi nad Danilom, Ananijom, Misailom i Azarijom:
And Daniel said to Amelsad, whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, [and] Azarias.
12 Ogledaj sluge svoje za deset dana, neka nam se daje varivo da jedemo i vode da pijemo.
Prove now your servants ten days; and let them give us pulse, and let us eat, and let us drink water:
13 Pa onda neka nam se vide lica pred tobom i lica mladiæima koji jedu carsko jelo, pa kako vidiš, onako èini sa slugama svojim.
And let our countenances be seen by you, and the countenances of the children that eat [at] the king's table; and deal with your servants according as you shall see.
14 I posluša ih u tom, i ogleda ih za deset dana.
And he listened to them, and proved them ten days.
15 A poslije deset dana lica im doðoše ljepša i mesnatija nego u svijeh mladiæa koji jeðahu carsko jelo.
And at the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer and stouter in flesh, than the children that fed at the king's table.
16 I Amelsar uzimaše jelo njihovo i vino koje njima trebaše piti, i davaše im variva.
So Amelsad took away their supper and the wine of their drink, and gave them pulse.
17 I dade Bog svoj èetvorici mladiæa znanje i razum u svakoj knjizi i mudrosti; a Danilu dade da razumije svaku utvaru i sne.
And [as for] these four children, God gave them understanding and prudence in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
18 I kad proðe vrijeme po kom car bješe rekao da ih izvedu, izvede ih starješina nad dvoranima pred Navuhodonosora.
And at the end of the days, [after] which the king had given orders to bring them in, then the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nabuchodonosor.
19 I govori car s njima, i ne naðe se meðu svjema njima nijedan kao Danilo, Ananija, Misailo i Azarija; i stajahu pred carem.
And the king spoke with them; and there were not found out of them all any like Daniel, and Ananias and Misael, and Azarias: and they stood before the king.
20 I u svemu èemu treba mudrost i razum, za što ih car zapita, naðe da su deset puta bolji od svijeh vraèa i zvjezdara što ih bješe u svemu carstvu njegovu.
And in every matter of wisdom and knowledge wherein the king questioned them, he found them ten times wiser than all the enchanters and sorcerers that were in all his kingdom.
21 I osta Danilo do prve godine cara Kira.
And Daniel continued till the first year of king Cyrus.
