1Yihudaa Kaatii Yo'ak'eemi kaateteedda heezzentso laytsi, Baabloone Kaatii Naabukadanas'oori Yerusaalame katamaa bolla denddiide, he katamaa dooddeedda.In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.

2Goday Yihudaa Kaatiyaa Yo'ak'eemanne S'oossaa Geeshsha Golliyaan de'iyaa miishshatuwaappe unddenneeddawaa Aa kushiyan aatsiide immeedda. Ikka he miishshatuwaa Baabloone gadiyaan de'iyaa bare s'oossatuwaa eek'aa golliyaa aheedda; bare s'oossaa miishshaa minjjiyaa golliyaan wotseedda.And the Lord delivered into his hand Jehoiakim king of Judah, along with some of the articles from the house of God. He carried these off to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, where he put them in the treasury of his god.

3Hewaappe guyyiyaan, kaatii Ashifanaaza giyaa bare oosanchchatuwaa kaappuwaa hawaadan yaagiide azazeedda; «Israa'eeliyaa asaa giddoppe kaatiyaa zare gidiyaawanttanne wolk'k'aama asatuwaa zare gidiyaawantta doora.Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, the chief of his court officials, to bring in some Israelites from the royal family and the nobility—

4Yalagatuu asatetsan pac'ay bayinnawantta, malanchchatuwaa, ayaa tamaarissooppekka eranaw danddayiyaawantta, akeekiyaawantta, eratetsay kumeeddawanttanne kaatiyaa golliyaan ootsanaw danddayiyaawantta. Unttuntta Baabloonetuwaa k'aalaanne s'ifatiyaa tamaarissa» yaageedda.young men without blemish, handsome, gifted in all wisdom, knowledgeable, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king’s palace—and to teach them the language and literature of the Chaldeans.

5K'ay unttunttu hachchi hachchi maana k'umaynne ushana woyniyaa eessay kaatiyaw ka"eedda k'umaappenne ushshaappe gidanaadan, kaatii azazeedda. Hewaadankka, heezzu laytsaa looheeddawaappe guyyiyaan, kaatiyaa sintsa shiik'iide, oosuwaa doommanaadan k'achcheedda.The king assigned them daily provisions of the royal food and wine. They were to be trained for three years, after which they were to enter the king’s service.

6Dooretteeddawanttu giddoppe Yihudaa zare gidiyaawanttu Daaneela, Hanaaniyaa, Mishaa'eelanne Azaariyaa giyaawanttu de'iino.Among these young men were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

7Oosanchchatuwaa kaappuu unttunttu suntsaa laammiide, Daaneela Bils's'aasoora, Hanaaniyaa Sidiraak'a, Mishaa'eela Misaak'a, Azaariyaa Abddanaago giide suntseedda.The chief official gave them new names: To Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.

8Daaneeli kaatiyaa k'umaa miyaawaaninne woyniyaa eessaa ushiyaawan barena tunissenna mala, bare wozanaan k'ofaa k'achcheedda; he k'ofaan mayyanaadan, oosanchchatuwaa kaappuwaa woosseedda.But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king’s food or wine. So he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself.

9He kaappuu Daaneela sabbana malanne aw k'arettana mala, S'oossay ootseedda.Now God had granted Daniel favor and compassion from the chief official,

10Gido shin, oosanchchatuwaa kaappuu Daaneelaw odiidde, «Taani hinttenttoo ha k'umaanne ushshaa azazeedda ta godaa kaatiyaw yayyay. Hinttenana laggetiyaa yalagatuu som"uwaappe hintte som"ii gilk'k'i beettooppe, hintte gaasuwaan kaatii taana wod'ana» yaageedda.but he said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking thinner than those of the other young men your age? You would endanger my head before the king!”

11Hewaappe guyyiyaan, oosanchchatuwaa kaappuu suntsina Daaneela, Hanaaniyaa, Mishaa'eelanne Azaariyaa hadaraa akkeedda bitaniyaa Daaneeli hawaadan yaageedda,Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

12«Nuw maanaw ataakilttiyaa, ushanawukka haatsaa s'alalaa immaade, nuuna ne k'oomatuwaa tammu gallassatuwaan paac'c'a.“Please test your servants for ten days. Let us be given only vegetables to eat and water to drink.

13Hewaappe guyyiyaan, nu som"uwaanne kaatiyaa k'umaa miyaa yalaga asatuwaa som"uwaa geedara s'eellaade, nuuna ne k'oomatuwaa new malati beetteeddawaadan ootsa» yaageedda.Then compare our appearances with those of the young men who are eating the royal food, and deal with your servants according to what you see.”

14I hewaa mayyiide, tammu gallassaa unttuntta paac'c'eedda.So he consented to this and tested them for ten days.

15Tammu gallassaappe guyyiyaan unttunttu, kaatiyaa k'umaa meedda yalagatuwaa ubbaappe pas'iidenne ank'k'ariide beetteeddino.And at the end of ten days, they looked healthier and better nourished than all the young men who were eating the king’s food.

16Yaatina, unttunttoo giigeedda k'umaanne woyniyaa eessaa diggiide, ataakilttiyaa immeedda.So the steward continued to withhold their choice food and the wine they were to drink, and he gave them vegetables instead.

17Ha oyddu yalagatoo S'oossay eraanne ubbaa k'ommo s'ifatiinne timirttii geliyaa akeekaa immeedda. Daaneeli k'ay sas'aanne akumuwaa ubbaa biletsaa eree.To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding in every kind of literature and wisdom. And Daniel had insight into all kinds of visions and dreams.

18Kaatii yalagatuu barekko gelanaaddan azazeedda wodii polettina, oosanchchatuwaa kaappuu unttuntta Naabukadanas'oore sintsa aatseedda.Now at the end of the time specified by the king, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar.

19Kaatii unttuntta haasayisseedda wode, Daaneela, Hanaaniyaa, Mishaa'eelanne Azaariyaa mala Asay unttunttu giddon beettibeenna. Yaatina, unttunttu kaatiyaw ootsanaw geleeddino.And the king spoke with them, and among all the young men he found no one equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they entered the king’s service.

20Kaatii unttuntta oochcheedda ay aad'd'eeda eratetsaanne akeeka ooshaan, Aa kawutetsan de'iyaa shareechchotuwaappenne muruniyaawanttu ubbaappe unttunttu tammu kushiyaa aad'd'iide beetteeddino.In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom.

21Daaneeli Kaatii K'iiroose kaateteedda koyiro laytsay gakkanaw gam"eedda.And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus.
