Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, came Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, against Jerusalem, and besieged it.
Godine treæe carovanja Joakima cara Judina doðe Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski na Jerusalim, i opkoli ga.
2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim, the 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.
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.
3 And the king commanded Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the sons of Israel of the king's race, and of the princes,
I reèe car Asfenazu starješini svojih dvorana da dovede izmeðu sinova Izrailjevijeh, i od carskoga sjemena i od knezova
4 youths in whom was no blemish, and well favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and having knowledge and intelligence and strength, to stand as servants in the king's palace, and be taught the writing and the language of the Chaldaeans.
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.
5 And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's food, and of the wine which he drank; so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand as servants before the king.
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.
6 Now among these were, of the sons of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
A meðu njima bjehu od sinova Judinijeh Danilo, Ananija, Misailo i Azarija.
7 And the prince of the eunuchs gave them other names. To Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
A starješina nad dvoranima predje im imena, i Danilu nadje ime Valtasar, a Ananiji Sedrah, a Misailu Misah, a Azariji Avdenago.
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
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.
9 And God gave Daniel favor and kindness from the prince of the eunuchs.
I dade Bog Danilu te naðe milost i ljubav u starješine nad dvoranima.
10 And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink; for he might see your faces in worse condition than the youths of your age; then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.
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?
11 Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
A Danilo reèe Amelsaru, kojega starješina nad dvoranima postavi nad Danilom, Ananijom, Misailom i Azarijom:
12 Try thy servants ten days, and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
Ogledaj sluge svoje za deset dana, neka nam se daje varivo da jedemo i vode da pijemo.
13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenances of the youths that eat of the portion of the king's meat; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
Pa onda neka nam se vide lica pred tobom i lica mladiæima koji jedu carsko jelo, pa kako vidiš, onako èini sa slugama svojim.
14 And he consented to them in this matter, and tried them ten days.
I posluša ih u tom, i ogleda ih za deset dana.
15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate the portion of the king's meat.
A poslije deset dana lica im doðoše ljepša i mesnatija nego u svijeh mladiæa koji jeðahu carsko jelo.
16 So the steward took away the portion of their meat, and the wine which they should drink, and gave them pulse.
I Amelsar uzimaše jelo njihovo i vino koje njima trebaše piti, i davaše im variva.
17 And God gave these four youths knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
I dade Bog svoj èetvorici mladiæa znanje i razum u svakoj knjizi i mudrosti; a Danilu dade da razumije svaku utvaru i sne.
18 And at the end of the days, when the king had commanded him to bring them before him, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
I kad proðe vrijeme po kom car bješe rekao da ih izvedu, izvede ih starješina nad dvoranima pred Navuhodonosora.
19 And the king conversed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore they stood as servants before the king.
I govori car s njima, i ne naðe se meðu svjema njima nijedan kao Danilo, Ananija, Misailo i Azarija; i stajahu pred carem.
20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the scribes and magicians that were in all his realm.
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.
21 And Daniel lived even to the first year of Cyrus the king.
I osta Danilo do prve godine cara Kira.
