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 Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come to Jerusalem, and lays siege against 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 gives into his hand Jehoiakim king of Judah, and some of the vessels of the house of God, and he brings them in [to] the land of Shinar, [to] the house of his god, and the vessels he has brought in [to] 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 says, to Ashpenaz master of his eunuchs, to bring in out of the sons of Israel (even of the royal seed, and of the chiefs),
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.
boys in whom there is no blemish, and of good appearance, and skillful in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and teaching thought, and who have ability to stand in the palace of the king, and to teach them the literature 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 appoints for them a rate, day by day, of the king’s portion of food, and of the wine of his drinking, so as to nourish them three years, that at the end thereof they may stand before the king.
6 A meðu njima bjehu od sinova Judinijeh Danilo, Ananija, Misailo i Azarija.
And there are among them out of the sons of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
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 sets names on them, and he sets on Daniel, Belteshazzar; and on Hananiah, Shadrach; and on Mishael, Meshach; and on Azariah, Abed-Nego.
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 purposes in his heart that he will not defile himself with the king’s portion of food, and with the wine of his drinking, and he seeks of the chief of the eunuchs that he may not defile himself.
9 I dade Bog Danilu te naðe milost i ljubav u starješine nad dvoranima.
And God gives Daniel for kindness and for mercies before 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 says to Daniel, “I am fearing my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink, for why does he see your faces sadder than [those of] the boys which [are] of your circle? Then you have made my head indebted to the king,”
11 A Danilo reèe Amelsaru, kojega starješina nad dvoranima postavi nad Danilom, Ananijom, Misailom i Azarijom:
And Daniel says to the Meltzar, whom the chief of the eunuchs has appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12 Ogledaj sluge svoje za deset dana, neka nam se daje varivo da jedemo i vode da pijemo.
“Please try your servants [for] ten days; and they give to us from the vegetables and we eat, and water, and we drink;
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 our appearance is seen before you, and the appearance of the boys who are eating the king’s portion of food, and as you see—deal with your servants.”
14 I posluša ih u tom, i ogleda ih za deset dana.
And he listens to them, to this word, and tries 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 ten days their appearance has appeared better and fatter in flesh then any of the boys who are eating the king’s portion of food.
16 I Amelsar uzimaše jelo njihovo i vino koje njima trebaše piti, i davaše im variva.
And the Meltzar is taking away their portion of food, and the wine of their drink, and is giving to them vegetables.
17 I dade Bog svoj èetvorici mladiæa znanje i razum u svakoj knjizi i mudrosti; a Danilu dade da razumije svaku utvaru i sne.
As for these four boys, God has given to them knowledge and understanding in every [kind of] literature, and wisdom; and Daniel has given instruction about every [kind of] vision 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 that the king had said to bring them in, the chief of the eunuchs brings them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
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 speaks with them, and there has not been found among them all like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, and they stand 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] any matter of wisdom [and] understanding that the king has sought of them, he finds them ten hands above all the enchanters, the conjurers, who [are] in all his kingdom.
21 I osta Danilo do prve godine cara Kira.
And Daniel is to the first year of Cyrus the king.
