< Daniel 1 >

1 V tretjem letu kraljevanja Judovega kralja Jojakíma je prišel babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar iz Babilona do Jeruzalema in ga oblegal.
In year three of [the] reign of Jehoiakim [the] king of Judah he came Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon Jerusalem and he laid siege on it.
2 Gospod je Judovega kralja Jojakíma izročil v njegovo roko, z delom posod iz Božje hiše, ki jih je odnesel v deželo Šinár, k hiši svojega Boga in posode je prinesel v zakladno hišo svojega boga.
And he gave [the] Lord in hand his Jehoiakim [the] king of Judah and some of [the] end of [the] vessels of [the] house of God and he brought them [the] land of Shinar [the] house of god his and the vessels he brought [the] house of [the] treasury of god his.
3 Kralj je spregovoril Ašpenázu, gospodarju svojih evnuhov, da naj privede nekatere izmed Izraelovih otrok, izmed kraljevega potomstva in izmed princev,
And he said the king to Ashpenaz [the] chief of officials his to bring some of [the] people of Israel and some of [the] offspring of royalty and some of the nobles.
4 otroke, na katerih ni bilo madeža, temveč lepega videza in spretne v vsej modrosti in bistroumne v spoznanju in razumevanju znanosti in takšne, ki imajo v sebi zmožnost stati v kraljevi palači in ki bi jih lahko učili znanja in jezika Kaldejcev.
Youths whom not [was] in them any (blemish *Q(K)*) and good of appearance and having insight in all wisdom and knowing knowledge and understanding knowledge and whom ability [was] in them to stand in [the] palace of the king and to teach them [the] writing and [the] tongue of [the] Chaldeans.
5 Kralj jim je določil dnevno preskrbo kraljeve hrane in od vina, ki ga je pil. Tako jih je hranil tri leta, da bi ob njihovem izteku lahko stali pred kraljem.
And he assigned to them the king [the] matter of a day in day its some of [the] deli-caci[es] of the king and some of [the] wine of drink his and to bring up them years three and from [the] end their they will stand before the king.
6 Torej med temi so bili od Judovih otrok Daniel, Hananjá, Mišaél in Azarjá,
And he was among them from [the] people of Judah Daniel Hananiah Mishael and Azariah.
7 ki jim je princ evnuhov dal imena, kajti Danielu je dal ime Beltšacár, Hananjáju Šadráh, Mišaélu Mešáh in Azarjáju Abéd Negó.
And he assigned to them [the] chief of the officials names and he assigned to Daniel Belteshazzar and to Hananiah Shadrach and to Mishael Meshach and to Azariah Abed-nego.
8 Toda Daniel se je v svojem srcu namenil, da se ne bi omadeževal z deležem kraljeve hrane niti z vinom, ki ga je ta pil, zatorej je od princa evnuhov prosil, da se mu ne bi bilo treba omadeževati.
And he set Daniel on heart his that not he defiled himself with [the] delicaci[es] of the king and with [the] wine of drink his and he requested from [the] chief of the officials that not he will defile himself.
9 Torej Bog je Daniela privedel v naklonjenost in nežno prijaznost s princem evnuhov.
And he gave God Daniel favor and compassion before [the] chief of the officials.
10 Princ evnuhov je Danielu rekel: »Bojim se svojega gospoda kralja, ki vam je določil vašo hrano in vašo pijačo, kajti zakaj bi videl vaša obličja videti slabša kakor od otrok, ki so iz vaše vrste? Potem bi mene prisilili ogrožati mojo glavo kralju.«
And he said [the] chief of the officials to Daniel [am] fearing I master my the king who he has assigned food your and drink your that why? will he see faces your looking thin more than the youths who [are] about age your and you will endanger head my to the king.
11 Potem je Daniel rekel Melzarju, ki ga je princ evnuhov postavil nad Daniela, Hananjája, Mišaéla in Azarjája:
And he said Daniel to the guardian whom he had assigned [the] chief of the officials over Daniel Hananiah Mishael and Azariah.
12 »Potrdi svojim služabnikom, rotim te, deset dni, in naj nam dajo za jesti rastlinsko hrano in vodo za pitje.
Put to [the] test please servants your days ten so let people give to us some of the vegetables so we may eat and water so we may drink.
13 Potem naj bodo naša obličja ogledana pred teboj in obličje otrok, ki jedo od deleža kraljeve hrane, in kakor vidiš [tako] postopaj s svojimi služabniki.«
And they may appear before you appearance our and [the] appearance of the youths who are eating [the] delicaci[es] of the king and just as you will see deal with servants your.
14 Tako se je ta strinjal z njimi v tej zadevi in jim potrdil deset dni.
And he listened to them to the thing this and he put to [the] test them days ten.
15 Ob koncu desetih dni so bila njihova obličja videti svetlejša in obilnejša v mesu kakor od vseh otrok, ki so jedli od deleža kraljeve hrane.
And from [the] end of days ten it appeared appearance their good and fat of flesh more than all the youths who were eating [the] delicaci[es] of the king.
16 Potem je Melzar odvzel delež njihove hrane in vino, ki naj bi ga pili in jim dajal rastlinsko hrano.
And he was the guardian taking away delicaci[es] their and [the] wine of drink their and giving to them vegetables.
17 Glede teh štirih otrok, jim je Bog dal znanje in spretnost v vsem učenju in modrosti. Daniel je imel razumevanje o vseh videnjih in sanjah.
And the youths these [the] four of them he gave to them God knowledge and insight in all writing and wisdom and Daniel he understood every vision and dreams.
18 Torej ob koncu dni, o katerih je kralj rekel, da naj jih privede, jih je potem princ evnuhov privedel pred Nebukadnezarja.
And from [the] end of the days which he had said the king to bring them and he brought them [the] chief of the officials before Nebuchadnezzar.
19 Kralj se je z njimi pogovarjal in med njimi vsemi ni našel nikogar podobnega Danielu, Hananjáju, Mišaélu in Azarjáju. Zato so stali pred kraljem.
And he spoke with them the king and not he was found any of all of them like Daniel Hananiah Mishael and Azariah and they stood before the king.
20 V vseh vrstah modrosti in razumevanja, ki jih je kralj poizvedel od njih, jih je našel desetkrat boljše od vseh čarovnikov in astrologov, ki so bili v vsem njegovem območju.
And every matter of wisdom of understanding which he sought from them the king and he found them ten hands above all the soothsayer-priests the conjurers who [were] in all kingdom his.
21 Daniel je ostal celó do prvega leta kralja Kira.
And he was Daniel until year one of Cyrus the king.
