< 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 came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon 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
YHWH 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
The king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the people of Israel, even of the royal family and of the nobles;
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 skillful in all wisdom, and endowed 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 language 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
The king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's royal food, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at its end they should stand before the king.
وَكَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ مِنْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا: دَانِيآلُ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلُ وَعَزَرْيَا. ٦ 6
Now among these were, of the people of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
فَجَعَلَ لَهُمْ رَئِيسُ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ أَسْمَاءً، فَسَمَّى دَانِيآلَ «بَلْطَشَاصَّرَ»، وَحَنَنْيَا «شَدْرَخَ»، وَمِيشَائِيلَ «مِيشَخَ»، وَعَزَرْيَا «عَبْدَنَغُوَ». ٧ 7
The prince 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 determined in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's royal food, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
وَأَعْطَى ٱللهُ دَانِيآلَ نِعْمَةً وَرَحْمَةً عِنْدَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ. ٩ 9
Now God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the prince 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
The prince 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 who are of your own age? So would you endanger my head with the king."
فَقَالَ دَانِيآلُ لِرَئِيسِ ٱلسُّقَاةِ ٱلَّذِي وَلَّاهُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ عَلَى دَانِيآلَ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلَ وَعَزَرْيَا: ١١ 11
Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
«جَرِّبْ عَبِيدَكَ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ. فَلْيُعْطُونَا ٱلْقَطَانِيَّ لِنَأْكُلَ وَمَاءً لِنَشْرَبَ. ١٢ 12
"Test your servants for 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 faces be looked on before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king's royal food; and as you see, deal with your servants."
فَسَمِعَ لَهُمْ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ وَجَرَّبَهُمْ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ. ١٤ 14
So he listened 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
At the end of ten days their faces appeared better and fatter than all the youths who ate of the king's royal food.
فَكَانَ رَئِيسُ ٱلسُّقَاةِ يَرْفَعُ أَطَايِبَهُمْ وَخَمْرَ مَشْرُوبِهِمْ وَيُعْطِيهِمْ قَطَانِيَّ. ١٦ 16
So the steward took away their royal 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
At the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
وَكَلَّمَهُمُ ٱلْمَلِكُ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ بَيْنَهُمْ كُلِّهِمْ مِثْلُ دَانِيآلَ وَحَنَنْيَا وَمِيشَائِيلَ وَعَزَرْيَا. فَوَقَفُوا أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. ١٩ 19
The king talked with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore they entered the king's service.
وَفِي كُلِّ أَمْرِ حِكْمَةِ فَهْمٍ ٱلَّذِي سَأَلَهُمْ عَنْهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَجَدَهُمْ عَشَرَةَ أَضْعَافٍ فَوْقَ كُلِّ ٱلْمَجُوسِ وَٱلسَّحَرَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي كُلِّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ. ٢٠ 20
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
Daniel continued even to the first year of king Koresh.
