¶ Nan twazyèm lanne rèy Jojakim, wa peyi Jida a, Nèbikadneza, wa lavil Babilòn, vin atake lavil Jerizalèm. Li sènen l' toupatou.

Seyè a kite l' mete men sou wa Jojakim ak bonkou nan bagay yo te mete apa pou fè sèvis Bondye nan Tanp lan. Nèbikadneza mennen kèk prizonye avè l' nan tanp bondye pa l' yo lavil Babilòn. Lèfini li mete bagay li te pran yo nan depo tanp bondye pa l' yo.

Wa a te bay Achpenaz, kòmandan nèg konfyans li yo, lòd pou l' te chwazi nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo te depòte yo kèk jenn gason ki soti nan fanmi wa a, osinon nan fanmi grannèg yo.

Se pou jenn mesye sa yo bèl gason san okenn enfimite. Se pou yo gen bon konprann, bon levasyon ak anpil konesans pou yo ka sèvi nan palè wa a. Achpenaz te gen pou l' te moutre yo jan pou yo li, jan pou yo ekri lang moun Babilòn yo.

Wa a te bay lòd pou chak jou yo te pran nan manje ak nan diven yo sèvi sou tab wa a pou ba yo. Se pou yo pase twazan konsa. Apre sa, y'a parèt devan wa a pou sèvis li.

Nan jenn gason yo te chwazi yo te gen kat ki te soti nan branch fanmi Jida: se te Danyèl, Ananya, Michayèl ak Azarya.

Kòmandan nèg konfyans wa yo te chanje non ti mesye yo. Li te rele Danyèl Beltechaza, Ananya Chadrak, Michayèl Mechak, Azarya Abèdnego.

¶ Danyèl te pran desizyon nan kè l' pou l' pa t' manyen ni manje ni diven yo sèvi nan palè wa a pou l' te ka toujou nan kondisyon pou l' sèvi Bondye l'. Se konsa, li al jwenn kòmandan nèg konfyans wa a, li mande l' pèmisyon pou l' pa blije manje manje sa yo.

Bondye fè Achpenaz, kòmandan nèg konfyans wa a, te renmen Danyèl, san l' te ale avè l'.

10 Men, Achpenaz di Danyèl konsa: -Mwen pè wa a, mèt mwen an. Se wa a menm ki deside sa pou n' manje ak sa pou n' bwè. Si nou pa anfòm tankou lòt jenn gason menm laj avè nou yo, nou ka lakòz wa a touye m'.

11 Lè sa a, Danyèl al jwenn gad kòmandan an te mete reskonsab li ansanm ak Ananya, Michayèl ak Azarya. Li di l':

12 -Pandan dis jou ban nou legim ase pou n' manje ak dlo pou nou bwè.

13 Apre sa, w'a wè ki jan nou ye devan lòt jenn gason yo k'ap manje manje wa a. Lè sa a, w'a fè sa ou vle avè nou, dapre sa w'a wè.

14 Gad la dakò pou l' ba yo yon chans pandan dis jou.

15 Apre dis jou yo, figi ti mesye yo te pi fre, yo te pi anfòm pase jenn gason ki te manje manje wa a.

16 Depi lè sa a, gad la pa t' ba yo manje ak diven wa a te bay pou yo a, li ba yo legim pito.

17 ¶ Bondye bay kat jenn gason sa yo konesans, lespri ak bon konprann pou yo te ka li tout kalite liv. Lèfini, li bay Danyèl don pou l' te konprann sans tout kalite vizyon ak tout kalite rèv.

18 Apre tan wa a te fikse a fin pase, Achpenaz mennen tout jenn gason yo bay wa Nèbikadneza.

19 Wa a pale ak yo tout. Nan mitan tout jenn gason yo li pa t' jwenn tankou Danyèl, Ananya, Michayèl ak Azarya. Se konsa yo rete nan palè a pou sèvi wa a.

20 Lè wa a mande yo konsèy pou nenpòt pwoblèm ki mande konesans ak lespri, li wè jenn gason sa yo te konnen dis fwa plis pase tout lòt divinò ak moun ki li zetwal nan tout peyi a.

21 Se konsa, Danyèl rete nan palè a jouk lè wa Siris antre lavil Babilòn.

Даниил и трима младежи, негови сънародници в двореца на Навуходоносор

(A)(B)През третата година от управлението на юдейския цар Йоаким вавилонският цар Навуходоносор потегли към Йерусалим и го обсади. Господ предаде под негова власт юдейския цар Йоаким, както и част от съдовете на Божия дом. Той ги отнесе в земята Сенаар в дома на своите богове и ги постави в съкровищницата на боговете си.

(C)Тогава царят заповяда на Асфеназ, началник на царедворците му, да доведе няколко от израилските младежи от царски произход или поне от благородно потекло. (D)Те трябваше да бъдат без никакъв телесен недостатък, красиви на вид, притежаващи мъдрост, разбиращи от науки, способни да служат в царските палати, за да се обучават на халдейски книги и език. Царят им определи за всеки ден храна от царската трапеза, както и вино, което сам пиеше. Те трябваше да бъдат обучавани три години и тогава да постъпят на служба при царя. Измежду тях юдеи бяха Даниил, Анания, Мисаил и Азария. Началникът на царедворците им даде други имена: на Даниил – Валтасар, на Анания – Седрах, на Мисаил – Мисах и на Азария – Авденаго.

(E)Даниил реши в себе си да не се осквернява с ястията, които бяха определени от царя, и с виното, което царят пиеше. Затова той помоли началника на царедворците да не го принуждава да се осквернява. (F)Бог направи така, че Даниил да намери благоволение и милост у началника на царедворците. 10 Но началникът на царедворците каза на Даниил: „Боя се от господаря си, царя, който ви определи храната и питието. Той може да намери, че изглеждате по-слабовати, отколкото младежите, ваши връстници. Така вие ще изложите главата ми на опасност пред царя.“ 11 Тогава Даниил каза на възпитателя, на когото началникът на царедворците бе поверил Даниил, Анания, Мисаил и Азария: 12 „Направи опит над служителите си в продължение на десет дена: нека ни дават растителна храна и вода за пиене. 13 После сравни как изглеждаме ние и онези младежи, които се хранят от царската храна, а след това постъпи със служителите си, както намериш за добре.“ 14 Възпитателят възприе това предложение и направи опит с тях в продължение на десет дена. 15 След десетте дена те изглеждаха по-здрави и по-пълни от всички онези младежи, които се хранеха с царските ястия. 16 Оттогава възпитателят отнемаше тяхното ястие и виното за пиене, а на тях даваше само растителна храна. 17 (G)Затова Бог надари тези четирима младежи със знание и разбиране на всяка книга и мъдрост, а на Даниил даде освен това дарба да разбира всякакви видения и сънища.

18 След като приключи времето, което царят беше определил да въведат младежите в двореца, началникът на царедворците ги представи пред Навуходоносор. 19 Царят беседва с тях и намери, че Даниил, Анания, Мисаил и Азария превъзхождат всички младежи. Така те постъпиха на служба при царя. 20 (H)Всеки път, когато царят ги питаше за неща, за които се изискваха мъдрост и разум, намираше ги за десет пъти по-добри от всички вълшебници и гадатели, които живееха в цялото му царство. 21 Така Даниил доживя до първата година от управлението на цар Кир.

In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.

And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.

And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;

Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.

Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.

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.

Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.

10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.

11 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.

13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.

14 So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.

15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.

16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.

17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

18 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.

20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.

21 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.

Daniel and His Friends Obey God(A)

In the third year of the reign of (B)Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with (C)some of the articles of [a]the house of God, which he carried (D)into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; (E)and he brought the articles into the treasure house of his god.

Then the king instructed Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, to bring (F)some of the children of Israel and some of the king’s descendants and some of the nobles, young men (G)in whom there was no blemish, but good-looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and quick to understand, who had ability to serve in the king’s palace, and (H)whom they might teach the language and [b]literature of the Chaldeans. And the king appointed for them a daily provision of the king’s delicacies and of the wine which he drank, and three years of training for them, so that at the end of that time they might (I)serve before the king. Now from among those of the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. (J)To them the chief of the eunuchs gave names: (K)he gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abed-Nego.

But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself (L)with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Now (M)God had brought Daniel into the favor and [c]goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs. 10 And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking worse than the young men who are your age? Then you would endanger my head before the king.”

11 So Daniel said to [d]the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12 “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the king’s delicacies; and as you see fit, so deal with your servants.” 14 So he consented with them in this matter, and tested them ten days.

15 And at the end of ten days their features appeared better and fatter in flesh than all the young men who ate the portion of the king’s delicacies. 16 Thus [e]the steward took away their portion of delicacies and the wine that they were to drink, and gave them vegetables.

17 As for these four young men, (N)God gave them (O)knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had (P)understanding in all visions and dreams.

18 Now at the end of the days, when the king had said that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 19 Then the king [f]interviewed them, and among them all none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; therefore (Q)they served before the king. 20 (R)And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm. 21 (S)Thus Daniel continued until the first year of King Cyrus.
