دانیال 1
| در سال سوم سلطنت یهویاقیم پادشاه یهودا، نبوکدنصر پادشاه بابل به اورشلیم آمده، آن را محاصره نمود. | ۱ 1 |
After King Jehoiakim had been ruling in Judah for almost three years, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came to Jerusalem [with his army] and surrounded the city.
| و خداوند یهویاقیم پادشاه یهودا را با بعضی از ظروف خانه خدا به‌دست او تسلیم نمود و او آنها را به زمین شنعار به خانه خدای خود آورد و ظروف را به بیت‌المال خدای خویش گذاشت. | ۲ 2 |
[After two years, ] Yahweh allowed Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] to capture Jehoiakim, [who was the] King of Judah. They also took some of the things that were in the temple of God, and took them to Babylonia. There Nebuchadnezzar put them in the temple of his god.
| و پادشاه اشفناز رئیس خواجه‌سرایان خویش را امر فرمود که بعضی ازبنی‌اسرائیل و از اولاد پادشاهان و از شرفا رابیاورد. | ۳ 3 |
Then Nebuchadnezzar commanded Ashpenaz, the chief official in his palace, to bring [to him] some of the Israeli men [whom they had brought to Babylon. He wanted men] who belonged to important families, including the family of the King of Judah.
| جوانانی که هیچ عیبی نداشته باشند ونیکومنظر و در هرگونه حکمت ماهر و به علم داناو به فنون فهیم باشند که قابلیت برای ایستادن درقصر پادشاه داشته باشند و علم و زبان کلدانیان رابه ایشان تعلیم دهند. | ۴ 4 |
[King Nebuchadnezzar wanted only] men who were very healthy, handsome/good-looking, wise, well-educated, capable of learning many things, and suitable for working in the palace. He also wanted to teach them the Babylonian language and have them read things that had been written in the Babylonian language.
| و پادشاه وظیفه روزینه ازطعام پادشاه و از شرابی که او می‌نوشید تعیین نمود و (امر فرمود) که ایشان را سه سال تربیت نمایند و بعد از انقضای آن مدت در حضورپادشاه حاضر شوند. | ۵ 5 |
The king commanded [his servants], “Give them the same kind of food and wine that is given to me. Train them for three years. Then they will become my servants.”
| و در میان ایشان دانیال وحننیا و میشائیل و عزریا از بنی یهودا بودند. | ۶ 6 |
Among the young Israeli men [who were chosen] were [me], Daniel, and Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, who all came from Judah.
| ورئیس خواجه‌سرایان نامها به ایشان نهاد، امادانیال را به بلطشصر و حننیا را به شدرک ومیشائیل را به میشک و عزریا را به عبدنغو مسمی ساخت. | ۷ 7 |
But Ashpenaz gave us [Babylonian] names. The name he gave to me was Belteshazzar, the name he gave to Hananiah was Shadrach, the name he gave to Mishael was Meshach, and the name he gave to Azariah was Abednego.
| اما دانیال در دل خود قصد نمود که خویشتن را از طعام پادشاه و از شرابی که او می‌نوشید نجس نسازد. پس از رئیس خواجه‌سرایان درخواست نمود که خویشتن را نجس نسازد. | ۸ 8 |
But I decided that I would not eat the kind of food that the king ate, or drink the wine that he drank, because that would make me (ritually defiled/unacceptable to God). So I asked Ashpenaz to allow me to eat and drink other things.
| وخدا دانیال را نزد رئیس خواجه‌سرایان محترم ومکرم ساخت. | ۹ 9 |
God had caused Ashpenaz to greatly respect me,
| پس رئیس خواجه‌سرایان به دانیال گفت: «من از آقای خود پادشاه که خوراک و مشروبات شما را تعیین نموده است می‌ترسم. چرا چهره های شما را از سایر جوانانی که ابنای جنس شما می‌باشند، زشتتر بیند و همچنین سرمرا نزد پادشاه در خطر خواهید انداخت.» | ۱۰ 10 |
but he was worried about what I suggested. He said, “My master, the king, has commanded that you eat the kinds of food and drink that he does. If [you eat other things and as a result] you become more thin and pale than the other young men who are your age, he will [order his soldiers to] cut off my head because of what you have done!”
| پس دانیال به رئیس ساقیان که رئیس خواجه‌سرایان اورا بر دانیال و حننیا و میشائیل و عزریا گماشته بودگفت: | ۱۱ 11 |
Ashpenaz had ordered a guard to watch me, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
| «مستدعی آنکه بندگان خود را ده روزتجربه نمایی و به ما بقول برای خوردن بدهند وآب به جهت نوشیدن. | ۱۲ 12 |
So I said to this guard: “[Please] test us for ten days. [During that time] give us [only] vegetables to eat and water to drink.
| و چهره های ما وچهره های سایر جوانانی را که طعام پادشاه رامی خورند به حضور تو ملاحظه نمایند و به نهجی که خواهی دید با بندگانت عمل نمای.» | ۱۳ 13 |
After ten days, see how we look, and see how the other young men look, the ones who are eating the kind of food that the king eats. Then you can decide about [what food you will let us eat].”
| و او ایشان را در این امر اجابت نموده، ده روزایشان را تجربه کرد. | ۱۴ 14 |
The guard agreed to do what I suggested, and he tested us like that for ten days.
| و بعد از انقضای ده روزمعلوم شد که چهره های ایشان از سایر جوانانی که طعام پادشاه را می‌خوردند نیکوتر و فربه تربود. | ۱۵ 15 |
After ten days, [he saw that] my three friends and I looked healthier [DOU] than the young men who had been eating the food that the king wanted them to eat.
| پس رئیس ساقیان طعام ایشان و شراب راکه باید بنوشند برداشت و بقول به ایشان داد. | ۱۶ 16 |
So after that, the guard gave us [only] vegetables to eat; he did not give us the king’s special food and wine.
| اما خدا به این چهار جوان معرفت و ادراک در هر گونه علم و حکمت عطا فرمود و دانیال درهمه رویاها و خوابها فهیم گردید. | ۱۷ 17 |
And God gave to us four young men wisdom and the ability to study many things that Babylonians had written and studied. And [he also gave to] me the ability to understand the meaning of visions and dreams.
| و بعد از انقضای روزهایی که پادشاه امر فرموده بود که ایشان را بیاورند، رئیس خواجه‌سرایان ایشان رابه حضور نبوکدنصر آورد. | ۱۸ 18 |
When those three years that the king had set for training us young men from Judah were ended, Ashpenaz brought all of us to King Nebuchadnezzar.
| و پادشاه با ایشان گفتگو کرد و از جمیع ایشان کسی مثل دانیال وحننیا و میشائیل و عزریا یافت نشد پس درحضور پادشاه ایستادند. | ۱۹ 19 |
The king talked with [each of] us, and realized that none of the other young men were as capable as Hananiah, Mishael, Azariah and I were. So we four became the king’s special advisors/servants.
| و در هر مسئله حکمت و فطانت که پادشاه از ایشان استفسارکرد، ایشان را از جمیع مجوسیان و جادوگرانی که در تمام مملکت او بودند ده مرتبه بهتر یافت. | ۲۰ 20 |
In all important matters, the king found that what we [four men] advised was ten times as good as what all the magicians and sorcerers/fortune-tellers in his kingdom advised.
| ودانیال بود تا سال اول کورش پادشاه. | ۲۱ 21 |
I remained [there serving the king more than 60 years], until the first year that Cyrus became king.
