Daniels bog 1

1992

King James Version

1 I Judas konge Jojakims tredje regeringsår drog babylonerkongen Nebukadnesar mod Jerusalem og belejrede den. 1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2 Herren gav Judas konge Jojakim i hans magt, sammen med en del af karrene fra Guds hus, og han førte dem med til landet Sinear til sin guds hus. Karrene anbragte han i sin guds skatkammer. 2 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.
3 Kongen befalede sin hofchef, Ashpenaz, at udvælge nogle israelitter, dels fra kongeslægten, dels fra de fornemme familier, 3 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;
4 unge mænd uden legemsfejl, smukke, med indsigt i al slags visdom, med kundskab og forstand og med evner til at gøre tjeneste i kongens palads. Dem skulle han undervise i kaldæernes skrift og sprog. 4 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.
5 Kongen ville dagligt tildele dem mad og vin fra det kongelige taffel. De skulle oplæres i løbet af tre år, og derefter skulle de træde i kongens tjeneste. 5 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.
6 Blandt dem var judæerne Daniel, Hananja, Mishael og Azarja. 6 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
7 Dem gav hofchefen nye navne: Daniel gav han navnet Beltshassar, Hananja navnet Shadrak, Mishael navnet Meshak og Azarja navnet Abed?Nego. 7 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.
8 Daniel satte sig for, at han ikke ville være uren ved mad og vin fra det kongelige taffel, og han bad hofchefen om, at han måtte undgå at blive uren. 8 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.
9 Gud lod Daniel finde velvilje og barmhjertighed hos hofchefen, 9 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.
10 men hofchefen sagde til Daniel: »Jeg frygter, at min herre kongen, som har tildelt jer mad og drikke, vil synes, at I ser dårligere ud end de andre unge mænd på jeres alder. Så bringer I mit liv i fare hos kongen.« 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 Men Daniel sagde til den tilsynsmand, som hofchefen havde sat over Daniel, Hananja, Mishael og Azarja: 11 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12 »Sæt dine tjenere på en prøve! I ti dage skal vi kun have grønsager at spise og vand at drikke; 12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
13 derpå skal du sammenligne vores udseende med de unge mænd, der får deres mad fra det kongelige taffel. Så kan du gøre med os, efter hvad du får at se, herre.« 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 Han føjede dem og lod dem komme på prøve i ti dage. 14 So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
15 Da de ti dage var gået, så de bedre ud og var mere velnærede end alle de unge mænd, der fik deres mad fra det kongelige taffel. 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 Så holdt tilsynsmanden op med at bringe dem mad og vin fra taflet og gav dem grønsager i stedet for. 16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.
17 Gud gav disse fire unge mænd forstand og indsigt i al slags skrift og visdom. Og Daniel forstod sig på alle slags syner og drømme. 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 Da nu den tid var gået, som kongen havde fastsat, førte hofchefen de unge mænd frem for Nebukadnesar. 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 Kongen talte med dem, og blandt dem alle fandtes der ingen som Daniel, Hananja, Mishael og Azarja. Så trådte de i kongens tjeneste. 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 Hver gang kongen spurgte dem om noget, der krævede visdom og indsigt, opdagede han, at de var ti gange så dygtige som samtlige mirakelmagere og besværgere i hele hans kongerige. 20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
21 Og Daniel blev der til kong Kyros' første regeringsår. 21 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.
