Well, as 'man named' says about -t option:
chroot()  to directory after processing the command line arguments, but 
before reading  the  configuration   file.

So, if named chroots itself into /var/named-delegated directory, config 
file locates in /etc/named.conf

named -t /var/named-delegated -u named -c /etc/named.conf
should do it.
