Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Joakim king of Juda, came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
A Shekara ta uku ta mulki Yehohiyakim sarkin Yahuda, Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya zo Urushalima ya kuma yi mata ƙawanya.
2 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.
Sai Ubangiji ya bashe Yehohiyakim sarkin Yahuda a hannunsa, tare da waɗansu kayayyakin haikalin Allah. Ya ɗauki waɗannan kayan zuwa cikin haikalin allahnsa a Babilon cikin ma’ajin gidan allahnsa.
3 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;
Sa’an nan sarkin ya umarci Ashfenaz, shugaban fadarsa yă kawo waɗansu daga cikin Isra’ilawan da suka fito daga gidan sarauta da kuma na fitattun mutane.
4 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.
Matasa maza waɗanda ba su da wata naƙasa kuma kyawawa, hazikai ta kowace hanyar koyo, sanannu, masu saurin fahimtar abu, da kuma waɗanda suka cancanci su yi aiki a fadar sarki. Zai koya musu harshen Babiloniyawa da kuma littattafansu.
5 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.
Sarki kuma ya sa a ba su abinci da ruwan inabi kowace rana daga cikin abincin sarki. Za a koyar da su har shekaru uku, bayan haka kuma su shiga yin wa sarki hidima.
6 Now these were among them of the children of Juda, Daniel, and Ananias, and Azarias, and Misael.
Daga cikin waɗannan da aka zaɓa akwai waɗansu daga Yahuda, Daniyel, Hananiya, Mishayel da kuma Azariya.
7 And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Baltasar; and to Ananias, Sedrach; and to Misael, Misach; and to Azarias, Abdenago.
Sai sarkin fada ya raɗa musu sababbin sunaye, ga Daniyel ya raɗa masa Belteshazar; ga Hananiya ya raɗa masa Shadrak; ga Mishayel ya raɗa masa Meshak; ga Azariya kuma ya raɗa masa Abednego.
8 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 entreated the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Amma Daniyel ya ƙudura a zuciyarsa ba zai ƙazantar da kansa da abinci da ruwan inabin sarki ba, sai ya tambayi sarkin fada don a ba shi izinin kada yă ƙazantar da kansa ta wannan hanya.
9 Now God [had] brought Daniel into favor and compassion with the chief of the eunuchs.
Sai Allah ya sa sarkin fada ya nuna masa tagomashi ya kuma ƙaunaci Daniyel,
10 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; also shall you endanger my head to the king.
amma sai sarkin fada ya ce wa Daniyel, “Ina jin tsoron ranka yă daɗe, sarkina wanda ya sa a ba ku abinci da ruwan inabi. Me zai sa yă ga kuna ramewa fiye da sauran samari, tsaranku? Sarki zai sa a fille mini kai saboda ku.”
11 And Daniel said to Amelsad, whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, [and] Azarias.
Sai Daniyel ya ce wa mai gadi wanda sarkin fada ya sa yă kula da Daniyel, Hananiya, Mishayel da Azariya,
12 Prove now your servants ten days; and let them give us pulse, and let us eat, and let us drink water:
“Ina roƙonka ka gwada bayinka kwana goma. Kada ka ba mu kome sai kayan lambu mu ci da kuma baƙin ruwa mu sha.
13 And let our countenances be seen by you, and the countenances of the children that eat [at] the king's table; and deal with your servants according as you shall see.
Sa’an nan sai ka dubi fuskokinmu da na sauran samarin da suke ci daga abincin sarki; sa’an nan ka yi da bayinka bisa ga abin da ka gani.”
14 And he listened to them, and proved them ten days.
Sai ya amince da haka ya kuma gwada su har kwana goma.
15 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.
A ƙarshen kwana goma sai aka ga fuskokinsu suna sheƙi, sun kuma yi ƙiba fiye da samarin da suke cin abinci irin na sarki.
16 So Amelsad took away their supper and the wine of their drink, and gave them pulse.
Sai mai gadinsu ya janye abinci da ruwan inabi irin na sarki, ya ci gaba da ba su kayan lambu.
17 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.
Ga samarin nan guda huɗu Allah ya ba su sani da ganewar dukan irin littattafai da kuma koyarwa. Daniyel kuma ya iya gane wahayi da kowane irin mafarki.
18 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.
A ƙarshen lokacin da sarki ya sa da za a kawo su ciki, sai sarkin fada ya gabatar da su ga Nebukadnezzar.
19 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.
Sarki kuwa ya yi magana da su, sai ya gano cewa babu wani kamar Daniyel, Hananiya, Mishayel da kuma Azariya; don haka sai suka shiga yi wa sarki hidima.
20 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.
A dukan al’amuran hikima da na fahimta wanda sarki ya tambaye su, ya tarar sun fi dukan masu sihiri da bokaye waɗanda suke cikin mulkinsa sau goma.
21 And Daniel continued till the first year of king Cyrus.
Daniyel kuwa ya kasance a nan har shekara ta farko ta mulkin sarki Sairus.
