Daniele 1

BIBBIA RICCIOTTI	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 - Nell'anno terzo del regno di Joachim, re di Giuda, Nabucodonosor, re di Babilonia venne contro Gerusalemme e l'assediò.	1 And they walked in the midst of the fire, praising God, and blessing the Lord.
2 E il Signore gli diede nelle mani Joachim, re di Giuda e una parte del vasellame della casa di Dio; ed egli lo fece trasportare nella terra di Sennaar, nella casa del suo dio, e ripose il vasellame nelle stanze del tesoro del suo dio.	2 Then Azarias stood up, and prayed on this manner; and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire said,
3 E il re disse ad Asfenez, sopraintendente degli eunuchi, che gli scegliesse dai figli d'Israele, dalle stirpi reali e principesche,	3 Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers: thy name is worthy to be praised and glorified for evermore:
4 alcuni giovanetti senza difetto alcuno, di bell'aspetto, aperti a ogni sapienza, capaci di scienza, e disposti alle discipline, e che potessero stare nel palazzo del re ed essere istruiti nelle lettere e nella lingua dei Caldei.	4 For thou art righteous in all the things that thou hast done to us: yea, true are all thy works, thy ways are right, and all thy judgments truth.
5 E il re stabilì loro un assegno quotidiano sulla sua mensa e sul vino che egli stesso beveva, affinchè così ben allevati per tre anni, stessero poi alla presenza del re.	5 In all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon the holy city of our fathers, even Jerusalem, thou hast executed true judgment: for according to truth and judgment didst thou bring all these things upon us because of our sins.
6 Fra costoro furono dei figli di Giuda: Daniele, Anania, Misaele e Azaria.	6 For we have sinned and committed iniquity, departing from thee.
7 E il sopraintendente degli eunuchi impose nome Baltassar a Daniele, Sidrac ad Anania, a Misaele Misac e ad Azaria Abdenago.	7 In all things have we trespassed, and not obeyed thy commandments, nor kept them, neither done as thou hast commanded us, that it might go well with us.
8 Or Daniele fece proposito in cuor suo di non contaminarsi nè coi cibi del re, nè col vino che era sua bevanda e fece istanza al sopraintendente degli eunuchi per non contaminarsi.	8 Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment.
9 Il Signore dispose che Daniele trovasse grazia e favore nel cospetto del sopraintendente degli eunuchi.	9 And thou didst deliver us into the hands of lawless enemies, most hateful forsakers of God, and to an unjust king, and the most wicked in all the world.
10 E il sopraintendente degli eunuchi disse a Daniele: «Ma io temo il mio signore, il re, per l'assegno che vi ha fatto del cibo e della bevanda: se egli si accorgerà dei vostri volti, fatti più macilenti degli altri giovani della stessa età, voi presterete al re una condanna pel mio capo».	10 And now we cannot open our mouths, we are become a shame and reproach to thy servants; and to them that worship thee.
11 E Daniele disse a Malasar, a cui il principe degli eunuchi aveva assegnata la cura di Daniele, Anania, Misaele e Azaria:	11 Yet deliver us not up wholly, for thy name's sake, neither disannul thou thy covenant:
12 «Fa' la prova, ti prego, su di noi, tuoi servi, per dieci giorni; ci diano a mangiare legumi e a bere acqua;	12 And cause not thy mercy to depart from us, for thy beloved Abraham's sake, for thy servant Issac's sake, and for thy holy Israel's sake;
13 poi osserva i nostri volti e i volti dei giovani che si cibano delle vivande del re, e secondo quello, che avrai veduto, ti regolerai coi tuoi servi sul da fare».	13 To whom thou hast spoken and promised, that thou wouldest multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that lieth upon the seashore.
14 Costui, ascoltato un tal ragionamento, li mise alla prova per dieci giorni.	14 For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, and be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins.
15 Ma dopo i dieci giorni, le loro facce comparvero rimbellite e ingrassate più assai di tutti i giovani che si nutrivano delle vivande del re.	15 Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, or leader, or burnt offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place to sacrifice before thee, and to find mercy.
16 Malasar quindi levava le vivande e il vino somministrato, e dava loro legumi.	16 Nevertheless in a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted.
17 E Iddio conferì a questi giovani scienza e cognizione in ogni specie di libro e di sapienza: e a Daniele l'intelligenza di qualsiasi visione e sogno.	17 Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee: for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee.
18 Compiutisi dunque i giorni, dopo i quali aveva detto il re che venissero introdotti, il sopraintendente degli eunuchi li introdusse nella presenza di Nabucodonosor.	18 And now we follow thee with all our heart, we fear thee, and seek thy face.
19 Essendosi il re intrattenuto con loro non si trovarono uguali tra tutti a Daniele, Anania, Misaele e Azaria, e si fermarono nel cospetto del re.	19 Put us not to shame: but deal with us after thy lovingkindness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies.
20 E qualunque quesito che il re propose di sapienza e intelligenza, dimostrò che essi erano superiori dieci volte a tutti gl'indovini e ai magi che erano in tutto il suo regno.	20 Deliver us also according to thy marvellous works, and give glory to thy name, O Lord: and let all them that do thy servants hurt be ashamed;
21 Così Daniele rimase fino al primo anno di Ciro.	21 And let them be confounded in all their power and might, and let their strength be broken;
	22 And let them know that thou art God, the only God, and glorious over the whole world.
	23 And the king's servants, that put them in, ceased not to make the oven hot with rosin, pitch, tow, and small wood;
	24 So that the flame streamed forth above the furnace forty and nine cubits.
	25 And it passed through, and burned those Chaldeans it found about the furnace.
	26 But the angel of the Lord came down into the oven together with Azarias and his fellows, and smote the flame of the fire out of the oven;
	27 And made the midst of the furnace as it had been a moist whistling wind, so that the fire touched them not at all, neither hurt nor troubled them.
	28 Then the three, as out of one mouth, praised, glorified, and blessed, God in the furnace, saying,
	29 Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers: and to be praised and exalted above all for ever.
	30 And blessed is thy glorious and holy name: and to be praised and exalted above all for ever.
	31 Blessed art thou in the temple of thine holy glory: and to be praised and glorified above all for ever.
	32 Blessed art thou that beholdest the depths, and sittest upon the cherubims: and to be praised and exalted above all for ever.

	67 O give thanks unto the Lord, because he is gracious: for his mercy endureth for ever.
	68 O all ye that worship the Lord, bless the God of gods, praise him, and give him thanks: for his mercy endureth for ever.
