Daniel 1

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 In the third year of the reign of Joakim king of Juda, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and besieged it.	1 في السنة الثالثة من ملك يهوياقيم ملك يهوذا ذهب نبوخذناصّر ملك بابل الى اورشليم وحاصرها.
2 And the Lord delivered into his hands Joakim the king of Juda, and part of the vessels of the house of God: and he carried them away into the land of Sennaar, to the house of his god, and the vessels he brought into the treasure house of his god.	2 وسلم الرب بيده يهوياقيم ملك يهوذا مع بعض آنية بيت الله فجاء بها الى ارض شنعار الى بيت الهه وادخل الآنية الى خزانة بيت الهه.
3 And the king spoke to Asphenez the master of the eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed and of the princes,	3 وأمر الملك أشفنز رئيس خصيانه بان يحضر من بني اسرائيل ومن نسل الملك ومن الشرفاء
4 Children in whom there was no blemish, well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, acute in knowledge, and instructed in science, and such as might stand in the king's palace, that he might teach them the learning, and the tongue of the Chaldeans.	4 فتيانا لا عيب فيهم حسان المنظر حاذقين في كل حكمة وعارفين معرفة وذوي فهم بالعلم والذين فيهم قوة على الوقوف في قصر الملك فيعلموهم كتابة الكلدانيين ولسانهم.
5 And the king appointed them a daily provision, of his own meat, and of the wine of which he drank himself, that being nourished three years, afterwards they might stand before the king.	5 وعيّن لهم الملك وظيفة كل يوم بيومه من اطايب الملك ومن خمر مشروبه لتربيتهم ثلاث سنين وعند نهايتها يقفون امام الملك.
6 Now there were among them of the children of Juda, Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias.	6 وكان بينهم من بني يهوذا دانيال وحننيا وميشائيل وعزريا.
7 And the master of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Baltassar: to Ananias, Sidrach: to Misael, Misach: and to Azarias, Abdenago.	7 فجعل لهم رئيس الخصيان اسماء فسمى دانيال بلطشاصر وحننيا شدرخ وميشائيل ميشخ وعزريا عبد نغو
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not be defiled with the king's table, nor with the wine which he drank: and he requested the master of the eunuchs that he might not be defiled.	8 اما دانيال فجعل في قلبه انه لا يتنجس باطايب الملك ولا بخمر مشروبه فطلب من رئيس الخصيان ان لا يتنجس.
9 And God gave to Daniel grace and mercy in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.	9 واعطى الله دانيال نعمة ورحمة عند رئيس الخصيان.
10 And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel: I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed you meat and drink: who if he should see your faces leaner than those of the other youths your equals, you shall endanger my head to the king.	10 فقال رئيس الخصيان لدانيال اني اخاف سيدي الملك الذي عيّن طعامكم وشرابكم. فلماذا يرى وجوهكم اهزل من الفتيان الذين من جيلكم فتديّنون راسي للملك.
11 And Daniel said to Malasar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias:	11 فقال دانيال لرئيس السقاة الذي ولاه رئيس الخصيان على دانيال وحننيا وميشائيل وعزريا
12 Try, I beseech thee, thy servants for ten days, and let pulse be given us to eat, and water to drink:	12 جرب عبيدك عشرة ايام فليعطونا القطاني لناكل وماء لنشرب.
13 And look upon our faces, and the faces of the children that eat of the king's meat: and as thou shalt see, deal with thy servants.	13 ولينظروا الى مناظرنا امامك والى مناظر الفتيان الذين ياكلون من اطايب الملك ثم اصنع بعبيدك كما ترى.
14 And when he had heard these words, he tried them for ten days.	14 فسمع لهم هذا الكلام وجربهم عشرة ايام.
15 And after ten days their faces appeared fairer and fatter than all the children that ate of the king's meat.	15 وعند نهاية العشرة الايام ظهرت مناظرهم احسن واسمن لحما من كل الفتيان الآكلين من اطايب الملك.
16 So Malasar took their portions, and the wine that they should drink: and he gave them pulse.	16 فكان رئيس السقاة يرفع اطايبهم وخمر مشروبهم ويعطيهم قطاني
17 And to these children God gave knowledge, and understanding in every book, and wisdom: but to Daniel the understanding also of all visions and dreams.	17 اما هؤلاء الفتيان الاربعة فاعطاهم الله معرفة وعقلا في كل كتابة وحكمة وكان دانيال فهيما بكل الرؤى والاحلام.
18 And when the days were ended, after which the king had ordered they should be brought in: the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nabuchodonosor.	18 وعند نهاية الايام التي قال الملك ان يدخلوهم بعدها اتى بهم رئيس الخصيان الى امام نبوخذناصّر
19 And when the king had spoken to them, there were not found among them all such as Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias: and they stood in the king's presence.	19 وكلمهم الملك فلم يوجد بينهم كلهم مثل دانيال وحننيا وميشائيل وعزريا. فوقفوا امام الملك.
20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the diviners, and wise men, that were in all his kingdom.	20 وفي كل أمر حكمة فهم الذي سألهم عنه الملك وجدهم عشرة اضعاف فوق كل المجوس والسحرة الذين في كل مملكته.
21 And Daniel continued even to the first year of king Cyrus.	21 وكان دانيال الى السنة الاولى لكورش الملك
