Daniele 1

BIBBIA TINTORI	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 L'anno terzo del regno di Ioachim, re di Giuda, Nabucodonosor re di Babilonia andò contro Gerusalemme e l'assediò.	1 And they walked in the midst of the fire, praising God, and blessing the Lord.
2 Il Si­gnore diede nelle sue mani Ioa­chim, re di Giuda, e una parte dei vasi della casa di Dio, e li trasportò nella terra di Sennaar, nella casa del suo Dio, e depose i vasi nella casa 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 Il re disse ad Asfenez, capo degli eunuchi, di menargli davanti alcuni dei figli d'Israele, di stirpe reale o nobili,	3 Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers: thy name is worthy to be praised and glorified for evermore:
4 giovinetti, senza difetto, belli, istruiti in ogni sapienza, ornati di scienza, bene educati, e tali da potere stare nel palazzo del re, e di far loro insegnare la letteratura e la 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 Il re assegnò loro per ciascun giorno il vitto della sua tavola, il vino di cui beveva egli stesso, affinchè, con tre anni di tal regime, fossero da star davanti al 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 Or tra questi vi fu­rono, dei figli di Giuda, Daniele, Anania, Misael e Azaria.	6 For we have sinned and committed iniquity, departing from thee.
7 Il capo degli eunuchi diede loro altri nomi: Daniele lo chiamò Baltassar, Anania Sidrac, Misael Misac, e 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 Daniele, avendo risoluto in cuor suo di non contaminarsi col mangiare di quello che mangiava il re, col bere del vino che il re beveva, pregò il capo degli eunu­chi a permettergli di 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 Dio fece trovar grazia e benignità a Daniele presso il capo 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 Ma disse a Da­niele il capo degli eunuchi: « Io ho paura del re mio signore, il quale vi ha assegnato cibo e be­vanda; or s'egli vedrà i vostri visi più macilenti di quelli degli altri giovanetti vostri coetanei, voi mi condannerete a morte davan­ti al re ».	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 Allora Daniele disse a Malasar, preposto dal capo degli eunuchi alla cura di Daniele, Anania, Misael e Azaria:	11 Yet deliver us not up wholly, for thy name's sake, neither disannul thou thy covenant:
12 « Ti prego a fare per dieci giorni un esperimento su noi tuoi servi, di farci mangiare dei legumi e bere dell'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 paragona i no­stri volti a quelli dei giovanetti che si cibano delle vivande reali, e regolati coi tuoi servi da quan­to vedrai ».	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 Accettata la proposta, egli fece sopra di loro la 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 e al fine dei dieci giorni i loro visi appar­vero più coloriti, più pieni di quelli di tutti i giovanetti nutriti coi cibi reali.	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 Allora Malasar messi da parte i cibi e il vino che, dovevan bere, dava loro dei legumi.	16 Nevertheless in a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted.
17 A questi giovanetti Dio diede scienza e perizia in ogni libro e sapienza. A Daniele poi diede l'intelligenza di tutte le visioni e dei sogni.	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 Passato il tempo dopo il quale, secondo l'ordine del re, gli dovevano essere condotti davanti, il capo degli eunuchi li presentò a Nabucodonosor.	18 And now we follow thee with all our heart, we fear thee, and seek thy face.
19 Il re s'intrattenne con essi; e non essendosi trovato fra tutti chi eguagliasse Daniele, Anania, Misael e Azaria, furono ammessi al servizio del re.	19 Put us not to shame: but deal with us after thy lovingkindness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies.
20 In ogni questione di sapienza e d'intelligenza che loro propose, il re li trovò dieci volte superiori agli indovini, ai maghi di 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 Daniele stette (alla corte) fino all'anno primo del re 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.
