< Daanyeel 1 >

1 Sannaddii saddexaad oo boqornimadii boqorkii Yahuudah oo ahaa Yehooyaaqiim waxaa Yeruusaalem yimid oo hareereeyey boqorkii Baabuloon oo ahaa Nebukadnesar.
During the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem and surrounded it.
2 Sayidkuna gacantiisuu geliyey boqorkii Yahuudah oo ahaa Yehooyaaqiim iyo weelashii guriga Ilaah qaarkood, markaasuu u qaaday waddanka la yidhaahdo Shincaar, iyo gurigii ilaahiisa; oo weelashiina wuxuu geliyey gurigii ilaahiisa khasnadda u ahaa.
The Lord allowed him to defeat King Jehoiakim, and also to remove some of the objects used in the Temple of God. He took them back to Babylon, to the house of his god, placing them in the treasury of his god.
3 Markaasaa boqorkii la hadlay Ashfenas oo madax u ahaa raggiisii bohommada ahaa, oo wuxuu u sheegay inuu keeno reer binu Israa'iil qaar ka mid ah, oo weliba ah kuwo ka soo farcamay reer boqor, iyo kuwa gobta ah;
Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, his chief eunuch, to take charge of some of the captured Israelites from the royal and noble families,
4 kuwo dhallinyar oo aan iin lahayn, oo qurqurxoon, oo xagga xigmadda oo dhan ku dheer, oo aqoon badan, oo waxgarasho leh, iyo inta awood u leh inay guriga boqorka istaagaan, iyo inuu iyaga tacliinta iyo afka reer Kaldayiin baro.
“They are to be young men without any physical defect who are good-looking,” he said. “They must be well-educated, quick to learn, have good insight, and be well able to serve in the king's palace and be taught the literature and language of Babylon.”
5 Boqorkiina wuxuu rukun uga dhigay iyagii in ka mid ah cuntadiisii wanaagsanayd iyo khamrigii uu cabbi jiray, oo wuxuu amray in intii saddex sannadood ah la quudiyo si ay dabadeed boqorka isu hor taagaan.
The king also provided them with a daily allowance of the same kind of rich food and wine he was served. At the end of their three years of education they would enter the king's service.
6 Kuwaasna waxaa ku jiray, oo reer Yahuudah ka mid ahaa, Daanyeel, Xananyaah, Miishaa'eel, iyo Casaryaah.
Among those chosen were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, from the tribe of Judah.
7 Markaasaa amiirkii bohommada ayaa magacyo u baxshay oo Daanyeel wuxuu u baxshay Beelteshaasar, Xananyaahna wuxuu u baxshay Shadrag; Miishaa'eelna wuxuu u baxshay Meeshag; Casaryaahna wuxuu u baxshay Cabeednegoo.
The chief eunuch gave them new names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego.
8 Daanyeelna wuxuu qalbiga ku haystay inuusan isku nijaasayn cuntada wanaagsan ee boqorka iyo khamriga uu cabbo toona; sidaas daraaddeed wuxuu amiirkii bohommada weyddiistay inuu u oggolaado inuusan isnijaasayn.
However, Daniel made up his mind not to make himself impure by eating the king's rich food and wine. He asked the chief eunuch to allow him not to make himself impure.
9 Haddaba Ilaah wuxuu ka dhigay in Daanyeel raallinimo iyo raxmad ka helo amiirkii bohommada.
God had helped Daniel to be viewed with kindness and sympathy by the chief eunuch.
10 Markaasaa amiirkii bohommadu Daanyeel ku yidhi, Waxaan ka cabsanayaa sayidkayga boqorka ah, oo rukunka idiinka dhigay cuntadiinna iyo cabbitinkiinna, waayo, muxuu u arki wejiyadiinna oo ka liita kuwa dhallinyarada ah ee aad isku da'da tihiin? Sidaasaad madaxayga khatar ugu gelinaysaan boqorka hortiisa.
But the chief eunuch told Daniel, “I'm afraid of what my lord the king would do to me. He's the one who decided what you should eat and drink. What if he were to see you looking pale and sickly compared to the other young men of your age. Because of you the king would have my head!”
11 Markaasaa Daanyeel ku yidhi wakiilkii, amiirka bohommadu ka dhigay inuu u taliyo Daanyeel, iyo Xananyaah, iyo Miishaa'eel, iyo Casaryaah,
Daniel then spoke with the guard that the chief eunuch had put in charge of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
12 Waan ku baryayaaye, intii toban maalmood ah na tijaabi annagoo addoommadaada ah, oo ha nala siiyo atar aan cunno iyo biyo aan cabnoba.
“Please put us, your servants, to the test and just give us vegetables to eat and water to drink for ten days,” Daniel told him.
13 Dabadeedna wejiyadayada hortaada ha lagu fiiriyo iyo wejiga dhallinyarada boqorka cuntadiisa cunta; oo markaas annagoo ah addoommadaada sidii aad nagu aragtid noola macaamilo.
“After that, compare us with those young men who ate the king's rich food. Then decide on the basis of what you see.”
14 Sidaasuu uga dhegaystay xaaladdaas, oo intii toban maalmood ah ayuu tijaabiyey.
The guard agreed to the proposal they made and tested them for ten days.
15 Markay tobankii maalmood dhammaadeen, way ka weji qurxoonaayeen, wayna ka buurbuurnaayeen dhallinyaradii cuntada boqorka wax ka cuni jirtay oo dhan.
When the ten days were up they looked healthier and better fed than all the young men who had eaten the king's rich food.
16 Sidaas daraaddeed wakiilkii waa ka qaaday cuntadoodii iyo khamrigii ay cabbi jireen, oo wuxuu siiyey atar.
After that the guard didn't give them the rich food and wine, just vegetables.
17 Haddaba afartaas nin oo dhallinyarada ahaa Ilaah wuxuu siiyey aqoon, iyo inay tacliin iyo xigmad oo dhan ku dheeraadaan; Daanyeelna wuxuu garan jiray waxyaalo la tuso iyo riyooyin oo dhan.
God gave these four young men the ability to learn and understand in all areas of literature and knowledge, while Daniel was also given the gift of interpreting all kinds of visions and dreams.
18 Oo markii wakhtigii boqorku yidhi, Ha la ii keeno, dhammaaday ayuu amiirkii bohommadu keenay iyagii Nebukadnesar hortiisa.
When their time of education ordered by the king was over, the chief eunuch brought all the young men before King Nebuchadnezzar.
19 Boqorkiina markaasuu la hadlay iyagii, oo kulligoodna lagama helin mid la mid ah Daanyeel, iyo Xananyaah, iyo Miishaa'eel, iyo Casaryaah; sidaas daraaddeed boqorkii bay is-hor taageen.
The king talked with them and none could compare with Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they entered the king's service.
20 Waxyaalihii boqorku weyddiiyey oo ku saabsan xigmadda iyo waxgarashada, wuxuu ogaaday inay toban jeer kaga fiican yihiin saaxiriintii iyo xiddigiyayaashii boqortooyadiisa joogay oo dhan.
Whatever subject the king asked them about, everything that required wisdom of understanding, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom.
21 Daanyeelna waa sii joogay tan iyo boqorkii Kuuros sannaddiisii kowaad.
Daniel remained in this position until the first year of King Cyrus' reign.
