Nandesini-Nebokadnezara ho a Babylona any andriana ta Joda tao rey. Aspenaza tandapa ro nampikarakarany an-drozy. Nivola tamy Aspenaza Nebokadnezara mba hangalaky ze ajà lahilahy farani-ze mahay noho salama soa. Hampianary anatini-telo tao mpamaraky reo mba ho manam-pahefà a Babylona ao. Nila nianatsy nivola, namaky noho nanoratsy safà Akadianina ajà lahilahy rey satria io ty fivolanani-Babylonianina reo. Tokony hihina ty hany fihanini-mpanjaka noho olo an-dapany ao rey rozy. Retoa ty efatsy amy ajà lahilahy rey: Daniela, Hanania, Misaela, noho Azaria. Nameani-Aspenaza anara babylonianina rozy, le nikaihiny hoe: Beltesazara, Sadraka, Mesaka,  noho Abednego. Tsy nanompo ani-Jehovah sasy va rozy satria nampianary tao?

Tapa-kevitsy hanoriky ty safàni- Jehovah avao mpamaraky efatsy rey. Hain-drozy fa tsy tokony hihina amy hanini-mpanjaka rey rozy satria nivola ty lalànani-Jehovah fa maloto raha rey. Nivola tamy Aspenaza amy zay rozy hoe: ‘Mba ka ampihinany amy hanini-mpanjaka reo zahay, azafady.’ Namaly Aspenaza hoe: ‘Ka laha hitani-mpanjaka hoe malemilemy nareo satria tsy nihina ani-reo? Tsy le matiny aho!’

Hanontany an-drozy ie lafa misy fanapahan- kevitsy bevata hataony. Nataoni-Jehovah mahihitsy mandilatsy ty olo hendry noho mpanao mazỳ tamy mpanjaka tao rey rozy.

Nipetraky an-tanin’olo ry Daniela, Hanania, Misaela, noho Azaria, fe tsy nihalinon-drozy hoe anatini-vahoakini-Jehovah rozy. Hahatiaro ani-Jehovah avao koa va iha, ndre tsy eo ty baba noho reninao?
