Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.
Godine treæe carovanja Joakima cara Judina doðe Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski na Jerusalim, i opkoli ga.
2 The Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god. 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 The king spoke to Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, even of the royal offspring and of the nobles:
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 defect, but well-favored, skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding science, and who had the ability to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the language of the Kasdim.
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 The king appointed for them a daily portion of the king’s delicacies 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.
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 of the children of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
A meðu njima bjehu od sinova Judinijeh Danilo, Ananija, Misailo i Azarija.
7 The prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: to Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, 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 king’s delicacies, 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 Now God made Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.
I dade Bog Danilu te naðe milost i ljubav u starješine nad dvoranima.
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? Then you would endanger my head with 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 Daniel said to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
A Danilo reèe Amelsaru, kojega starješina nad dvoranima postavi nad Danilom, Ananijom, Misailom i Azarijom:
12 “Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables 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 faces be examined before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king’s delicacies; and as you see, deal with your 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 So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days.
I posluša ih u tom, i ogleda ih za deset dana.
15 At the end of ten days, their faces appeared fairer and they were fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate of the king’s delicacies.
A poslije deset dana lica im doðoše ljepša i mesnatija nego u svijeh mladiæa koji jeðahu carsko jelo.
16 So the steward took away their delicacies and the wine that they were given to drink, and gave them vegetables.
I Amelsar uzimaše jelo njihovo i vino koje njima trebaše piti, i davaše im variva.
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.
I dade Bog svoj èetvorici mladiæa znanje i razum u svakoj knjizi i mudrosti; a Danilu dade da razumije svaku utvaru i sne.
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.
I kad proðe vrijeme po kom car bješe rekao da ih izvedu, izvede ih starješina nad dvoranima pred Navuhodonosora.
19 The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore stood they 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 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.
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 Daniel continued even to the first year of King Cyrus.
I osta Danilo do prve godine cara Kira.
