< دَانِيآل 1 >

فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، ذَهَبَ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَحَاصَرَهَا. ١ 1
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
وَسَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ بِيَدِهِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا مَعَ بَعْضِ آنِيَةِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، فَجَاءَ بِهَا إِلَى أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِهِ، وَأَدْخَلَ ٱلْآنِيَةَ إِلَى خِزَانَةِ بَيْتِ إِلَهِهِ. ٢ 2
And 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.
وَأَمَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ أَشْفَنَزَ رَئِيسَ خِصْيَانِهِ بِأَنْ يُحْضِرَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَمِنْ نَسْلِ ٱلْمُلْكِ وَمِنَ ٱلشُّرَفَاءِ، ٣ 3
And the king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in certain of the sons of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the ranking men,
فِتْيَانًا لَا عَيْبَ فِيهِمْ، حِسَانَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ، حَاذِقِينَ فِي كُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ وَعَارِفِينَ مَعْرِفَةً وَذَوِي فَهْمٍ بِٱلْعِلْمِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ فِيهِمْ قُوَّةٌ عَلَى ٱلْوُقُوفِ فِي قَصْرِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَيُعَلِّمُوهُمْ كِتَابَةَ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَلِسَانَهُمْ. ٤ 4
youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued 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 tongue of the Chaldeans.
وَعَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَظِيفَةً كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ مِنْ أَطَايِبِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَمِنْ خَمْرِ مَشْرُوبِهِ لِتَرْبِيَتِهِمْ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ، وَعِنْدَ نِهَايَتِهَا يَقِفُونَ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ٥ 5
And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's food, and of the wine which he drank. And that they should be nourished three years, that at the end of it they should stand before the king.
وَكَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ مِنْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا: دَانِيآلُ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلُ وَعَزَرْيَا. ٦ 6
Now among these were, of the sons of Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
فَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ رَئِيسُ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ أَسْمَاءً، فَسَمَّى دَانِيآلَ «بَلْطَشَاصَّرَ»، وَحَنَنْيَا «شَدْرَخَ»، وَمِيشَائِيلَ «مِيشَخَ»، وَعَزَرْيَا «عَبْدَنَغُوَ». ٧ 7
And the ruler 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.
أَمَّا دَانِيآلُ فَجَعَلَ فِي قَلْبِهِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَتَنَجَّسُ بِأَطَايِبِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَلَا بِخَمْرِ مَشْرُوبِهِ، فَطَلَبَ مِنْ رَئِيسِ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ أَنْ لَا يَتَنَجَّسَ. ٨ 8
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's food, nor with the wine which he drank. Therefore he requested of the ruler of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
وَأَعْطَى ٱللهُ دَانِيآلَ نِعْمَةً وَرَحْمَةً عِنْدَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ. ٩ 9
Now God made Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the ruler of the eunuchs.
فَقَالَ رَئِيسُ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ لِدَانِيآلَ: «إِنِّي أَخَافُ سَيِّدِي ٱلْمَلِكَ ٱلَّذِي عَيَّنَ طَعَامَكُمْ وَشَرَابَكُمْ. فَلِمَاذَا يَرَى وُجُوهَكُمْ أَهْزَلَ مِنَ ٱلْفِتْيَانِ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ جِيلِكُمْ، فَتُدَيِّنُونَ رَأْسِي لِلْمَلِكِ؟». ١٠ 10
And the ruler 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 that are of your own age? So ye would endanger my head with the king.
فَقَالَ دَانِيآلُ لِرَئِيسِ ٱلسُّقَاةِ ٱلَّذِي وَلَّاهُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ عَلَى دَانِيآلَ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلَ وَعَزَرْيَا: ١١ 11
Then Daniel said to the steward whom the ruler of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
«جَرِّبْ عَبِيدَكَ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ. فَلْيُعْطُونَا ٱلْقَطَانِيَّ لِنَأْكُلَ وَمَاءً لِنَشْرَبَ. ١٢ 12
Test thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.
وَلْيَنْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنَاظِرِنَا أَمَامَكَ وَإِلَى مَنَاظِرِ ٱلْفِتْيَانِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ أَطَايِبِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ثُمَّ ٱصْنَعْ بِعَبِيدِكَ كَمَا تَرَى». ١٣ 13
Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king's food. And as thou see, deal with thy servants.
فَسَمِعَ لَهُمْ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ وَجَرَّبَهُمْ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ. ١٤ 14
So he hearkened to them in this matter, and tested them ten days.
وَعِنْدَ نِهَايَةِ ٱلْعَشَرَةِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ظَهَرَتْ مَنَاظِرُهُمْ أَحْسَنَ وَأَسْمَنَ لَحْمًا مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْفِتْيَانِ ٱلْآكِلِينَ مِنْ أَطَايِبِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١٥ 15
And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared finer, and they were fuller in flesh, than all the youths who ate of the king's dainties.
فَكَانَ رَئِيسُ ٱلسُّقَاةِ يَرْفَعُ أَطَايِبَهُمْ وَخَمْرَ مَشْرُوبِهِمْ وَيُعْطِيهِمْ قَطَانِيَّ. ١٦ 16
So the steward took away their food, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them vegetables.
أَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْفِتْيَانُ ٱلْأَرْبَعَةُ فَأَعْطَاهُمُ ٱللهُ مَعْرِفَةً وَعَقْلًا فِي كُلِّ كِتَابَةٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ، وَكَانَ دَانِيآلُ فَهِيمًا بِكُلِّ ٱلرُّؤَى وَٱلْأَحْلَامِ. ١٧ 17
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.
وَعِنْدَ نِهَايَةِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي قَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ أَنْ يُدْخِلُوهُمْ بَعْدَهَا، أَتَى بِهِمْ رَئِيسُ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ إِلَى أَمَامِ نَبُوخَذْنَاصَّرَ، ١٨ 18
And at the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the ruler of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
وَكَلَّمَهُمُ ٱلْمَلِكُ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ بَيْنَهُمْ كُلِّهِمْ مِثْلُ دَانِيآلَ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلَ وَعَزَرْيَا. فَوَقَفُوا أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١٩ 19
And the king conversed with them. And among them all none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore they stood before the king.
وَفِي كُلِّ أَمْرِ حِكْمَةِ فَهْمٍ ٱلَّذِي سَأَلَهُمْ عَنْهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَجَدَهُمْ عَشَرَةَ أَضْعَافٍ فَوْقَ كُلِّ ٱلْمَجُوسِ وَٱلسَّحَرَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي كُلِّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ. ٢٠ 20
And 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.
وَكَانَ دَانِيآلُ إِلَى ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْأُولَى لِكُورَشَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ٢١ 21
And Daniel continued even to the first year of king Cyrus.
