Daniel 1
1 In yac aktolu ke Jehoiakim el tokosra in acn Judah, Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun acn Babylonia el tuh mweuni acn Jerusalem ac kuhlasla siti uh.
In the third year of the reign of Joakim king of Juda, came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2 Leum El lela tuh elan sruokilya Tokosra Jehoiakim ac usla kutu mwe kasrup lun Tempul uh. El tuh usla kutu mwet sruoh welul folokla nu ke tempul lun god lal in acn Babylon, ac filiya ma saok inge ke nien filma in tempul lalos uh.
And the Lord gave into his hand Joakim king of Juda, and part of the vessels of the house of God: and he brought them into the land of Sennaar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.
3 Tokosra el tuh sapkin nu sel Ashpenaz, su leum fin mwet pwapa lal, elan sulela kutu mukul fusr Israel su ma in sou lun tokosra ac sou lun mwet leum, su wi muta in sruoh.
And the king told Asphanez his chief eunuch, to bring in [some] of the captive children of Israel, and of the seed of the kingdom, and of the princes;
4 Elos su solla inge enenu in mwet na oasku, lalmwetmet, pah in orekma, lalkung, ac wangin ma koluk ke manolos, tuh elos fah fal in kulansap inkul lun tokosra. Ma kunal Ashpenaz in lotelosyang in ku in rit ac sim ke kas Babylonia.
young men in whom was no blemish, and beautiful in appearance, and skilled in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and acquainted with prudence, and who had ability to stand in the house before the king, and [the king gave commandment] to teach them the learning and language of the Chaldeans.
5 Tokosra el oayapa sapkin tuh in kitakat elos len nukewa ke mwe mongo ac wain su ma mwet inkul fulat elos eis uh. Tukun lutiyuk elos ke yac tolu, elos ac utuku nu ye mutal tokosra.
And the king appointed them a daily portion from the king’s table, and from the wine which he drank; and [gave orders] to nourish them three years, and [that] afterwards they should stand before the king.
6 Inmasrlon mwet ma tuh solla inge pa Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, ac Azariah — elos kewa ma in sruf lun Judah.
Now these were among them of the children of Juda, Daniel, and Ananias, and Azarias, and Misael.
7 Leum fulat lun mwet pwapa uh sang ine sasu inge nu selos: Belteshazzar, Shadrach, Meshach ac Abednego.
And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Baltasar; and to Ananias, Sedrach; and to Misael, Misach; and to Azarias, Abdenago.
8 Daniel el tuh sulela elan tia kang mwe mongo ac nim mwe nim ma kitakat mwet inkul fulat uh kac, pwanang ac tuh akfohkfokye manol. Ouinge el siyuk sel Ashpenaz tuh elan kasrel,
And Daniel purposed in his heart, that he would not defile himself with the king’s table, nor with the wine of his drink: and he intreated the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
9 ac God El oru tuh Ashpenaz elan etaten nu sel Daniel.
Now God [had] brought Daniel into favour and compassion with the chief of the eunuchs.
10 Tusruktu Ashpenaz el sangeng sel tokosra, ac el fahk nu sel Daniel, “Tokosra el pakiya tari ma kom in kang ac nim, ac fin tia wo finsroam oana tulik sayom inge, na el ac ku na in uniyuwi.”
And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your meat and your drink, lest he see your countenances gloomy in comparison of the young men your equals; so shall ye endanger my head to the king.
11 Ouinge Daniel el som nu yurin mwet se ma Ashpenaz el tuh srisrngiya in liyalang ac mwet kawuk tolu lal.
And Daniel said to Amelsad, whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, [and] Azarias,
12 Ac el fahk nu sel, “Srike kut ke len singoul, ac use na fokinsak kut in kang, ac kof kut in nim.
Prove now thy servants ten days; and let them give us pulse, and let us eat, and let us drink water:
13 Na kom fah liye lah manosr ac oa kac monin tulik ma kang mongo ke inkul lun leum uh, na kom fah oru sulela lom an fal nu ke ma kom liye an.”
and let our countenances be seen by thee, and the countenances of the children that eat [at] the king’s table; and deal with thy servants according as thou shalt see.
14 Na mwet sac insese elos in srike ke len singoul.
And he hearkened to them, and proved them ten days.
15 Tukun len singoul ah, Daniel ac mwet kawuk tolu lal ah arulana fokoko ac wo finsroalos liki tulik nukewa ma kang mongo nun mwet leum uh.
And at the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer and stouter in flesh than the children that fed at the king’s table.
16 Ouinge in pacl sac lac, mwet se ma liyaltalang ah lela eltal in mongo fokinsak na, ac tia kang mongo ma tokosra el sang elos in kang.
So Amelsad took away their supper and the wine of their drink, and gave them pulse.
17 God El sang nu sin mwet fusr akosr ah etauk yohk, ac sasla in riti sramsram matu ac lalmwetmet. Sayen ma inge, El sang pac nu sel Daniel in ku in akkalemye kalmen aruruma ac mweme.
And [as for] these four children, God gave them understanding and prudence in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
18 Ke sun saflaiyen yac tolu ma tokosra el pakiya, Ashpenaz el pwanla mwet fusr nukewa nu ye mutal Nebuchadnezzar.
And at the end of the days, [after] which the king had given orders to bring them in, then the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nabuchodonosor.
19 Tokosra el sramsram nu selos nukewa, ac arulana fwefela sel Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael ac Azariah yohk liki mwet fusr nukewa saya ah. Ouinge elos weang kulansap nu sin tokosra.
And the king spoke with them; and there were not found out of them all any like Daniel, and Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias: and they stood before the king.
20 Finne kain siyuk fuka ma tokosra el siyuk, ku kain elya ma el ac srukak, mwet fusr akosr inge etu pacl singoul yohk liki kutena mwet susfa ku mwet inutnut su oasr ke tokosrai lal uh nufon.
And in every matter of wisdom and knowledge wherein the king questioned them, he found them ten times wiser than all the enchanters and sorcerers that were in all his kingdom.
21 Daniel el mutana inkul fulat se inge nwe ke na Cyrus, tokosra fulat lun Persia, el kutangla acn Babylonia.
And Daniel continued till the first year of king Cyrus.
