G2532 And G2531 how G1437 ever G1492 you should behold, G4160 do G3326 accordingly with G3588 G3816 your servants!

14 G2532 And G1522 he hearkened to G1473 them, G2532 and G3985 he tested G1473 them G2250 [²days G1176 ¹ten].

3 H4428 And the king H559 [H8799] spoke H828 to Ashpenaz H7227 the master H5631 of his eunuchs, H935 [H8687] that he should bring H1121 certain of the sons H3478 of Israel, H4410 and of the king's H2233 seed, H6579 and of the princes;

4 H3206 Children H3971 H3971 [H8675] in whom was no blemish, H2896 but of good H4758 appearance, H7919 [H8688] and skilful H2451 in all wisdom, H3045 [H8802] and possessing H1847 knowledge, H995 [H8688] and understanding H4093 science, H3581 and such as had ability H5975 [H8800] in them to stand H4428 in the king's H1964 palace, H3925 [H8763] and whom they might teach H5612 the learning H3956 and the language H3778 of the Chaldeans.

5 H4428 And the king H4487 [H8762] appointed H3117 them a daily H1697 provision H4428 of the king's H6598 food, H3196 and of the wine H4960 which he drank: H1431 [H8763] so nourishing H7969 them three H8141 years, H7117 that at the end H5975 [H8799] of which they might stand H6440 at the face of H4428 the king.

6 H1121 Now among these were of the sons H3063 of Judah, H1840 Daniel, H2608 Hananiah, H4332 Mishael, H5838 and Azariah:

7 H8269 To whom the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H7760 [H8799] gave H8034 names: H7760 [H8799] for he gave H1840 to Daniel H1095 the name of Belteshazzar; H2608 and to Hananiah, H7714 of Shadrach; H4332 and to Mishael, H4335 of Meshach; H5838 and to Azariah, H5664 of Abednego.

8 H1840 But Daniel H7760 [H8799] purposed H3820 in his heart H1351 [H8691] that he would not defile H6598 0 himself with the portion H4428 of the king's H6598 food, H3196 nor with the wine H4960 which he drank: H1245 [H8762] therefore he requested H8269 of the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H1351 [H8691] that he might not defile himself.

9 H430 Now God H5414 [H8799] had brought H1840 Daniel H2617 into mercy H7356 and compassions H6440 with H8269 the prince H5631 of the eunuchs.

10 H8269 And the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H559 [H8799] said H1840 to Daniel, H3373 I fear H113 my sovereign H4428 the king, H4487 [H8765] who hath appointed H3978 your food H4960 and your drink: H7200 [H8799] for why should he see H6440 your faces H2196 [H8802] worse looking H3206 than the children H1524 who are of your age? H2325 [H8765] then shall ye make me endanger H7218 my head H4428 to the king.

11 H559 [H8799] Then said H1840 Daniel H4453 to Melzar, H8269 whom the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H4487 [H8765] had set H1840 over Daniel, H2608 Hananiah, H4332 Mishael, H5838 and Azariah,

12 H5254 [H8761] Test H5650 thy servants, H6235 I beseech thee, ten H3117 days; H5414 [H8799] and let them give H2235 us vegetables H398 [H8799] to eat, H4325 and water H8354 [H8799] to drink.

13 H4758 Then let our countenances H7200 [H8735] be looked upon H6440 at the face of H4758 thee, and the countenance H3206 of the children H398 [H8802] that eat H6598 0 of the portion H4428 of the king's H6598 food: H7200 [H8799] and as thou seest, H6213 [H8798] deal H5650 with thy servants.

14 H8085 [H8799] So he consented H1697 to them in this matter, H5254 [H8762] and tested H6235 them ten H3117 days.

15 H7117 And at the end H6235 of ten H3117 days H4758 their countenances H7200 [H8738] appeared H2896 fairer H1277 and fatter H1320 in flesh H3206 than all the children H398 [H8802] who ate H6598 0 the portion H4428 of the king's H6598 food.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king said unto Ashpenas, the chief of his eunuchs, that he should bring out of the children of Israel, and of the royal seed, and of the nobles, ⁴ Certain lads in whom there should be no kind of blemish, but who should be handsome in appearance, and intelligent in all wisdom, and acquainted with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as should have the ability to serve in the king’s palace, and that these should be taught the learning and the language of the Chaldeans. ⁵ And the king ordered for them a daily provision for its day of the king’s food, and of the wine which he drank, and to educate them three years, so that at the end thereof they should serve before the king. ⁶ Now there were among these of the children of Judah, Daniel, Chananyah, Mishael, and ‘Azaryah. ⁷ And the chief of the eunuchs assigned them names; and he assigned to Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Chananyah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to ‘Azaryah, of ‘Abed-nego. ⁸ But Daniel resolved in his heart that he would not defile himself with the food of the king, nor with the wine which he drank: and therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not need to defile himself. ⁹ And God gave Daniel kindness and mercy before the chief of the eunuchs. ¹⁰ And the chief of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath ordered your food and your drink; for why should he see your face sadder looking than that of the lads who are of your age? and ye would thus endanger my head with the king. ¹¹ Then said Daniel to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had given charge over Daniel, Chananyah, Mishael, and ‘Azaryah, ¹² Prove, I beseech thee, thy servants, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink; ¹³ And then let our countenances be looked at before thee, and the countenance of the lads that eat the food of the king: and as thou mayest see fitting, so deal with thy servants. ¹⁴ And he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days. ¹⁵ And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared better and fuller in flesh than that of all the lads who ate the food of the king.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king saith, to Ashpenaz master of his eunuchs, to bring in out of the sons of Israel, (even of the royal seed, and of the chiefs,) ⁴ lads in whom there is no blemish, and of good appearance, and skilful in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and teaching thought, and who have ability to stand in the palace of the king, and to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans. ⁵ And the king doth appoint for them a rate, day by day, of the king's portion of food, and of the wine of his drinking, so as to nourish them three years, that at the end thereof they may stand before the king. ⁶ And there are among them out of the sons of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, ⁷ and the chief of the eunuchs setteth names on them, and he setteth on Daniel, Belteshazzar; and on Hananiah, Shadrach; and on Mishael, Meshach; and on Azariah, Abed-Nego.
⁸ And Daniel purposeth in his heart that he will not pollute himself with the king's portion of food, and with the wine of his drinking, and he seeketh of the chief of the eunuchs that he may not pollute himself. ⁹ And God giveth Daniel for kindness and for mercies before the chief of the eunuchs; ¹⁰ and the chief of the eunuchs saith to Daniel, `I am fearing my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink, for why doth he see your faces sadder than those of the lads which are of your circle? then ye have made my head indebted to the king,' ¹¹ And Daniel saith unto the Meltzar, whom the chief of the eunuchs hath appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, ¹² `Try, I pray thee, thy servants, ten days; and they give to us of the vegetables, and we eat, and water, and we drink; ¹³ and our appearance is seen before thee, and the appearance of the lads who are eating the king's portion of food, and as thou seest—deal with thy servants.' ¹⁴ And he hearkeneth to them, to this word, and trieth them ten days: ¹⁵ and at the end of ten days their appearance hath appeared better and fatter in flesh then any of the lads who are eating the king's portion of food.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king will say to Ashpenaz the leader of his eunuchs to bring from the sons of Israel and from the seed royal, and from the nobles; ⁴ Children whom not any blemish in them, and good of aspect, and understanding in all wisdom, and knowing knowledge, and understanding intelligence, and to whom power in them to stand in the king's temple, and to teach them the writing and tongue of the chaldees ⁵ And the king will allot to them the word of a day in its day from the king's dainties and from the wine of his drinking: and to nourish them three years, and from the end of three years they shall stand before the king. ⁶ And there will be among them from the sons of Judah, Daniel, Hansniah, Mishael, and Azariah ⁷ And the chief of the eunuchs will set names to them: to David, Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, Shadrach; and to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abed-Nego. ⁸ And Daniel will set up upon his heart that he will not be defiled with the dainties of the king, and with the wine of his drinking: and he will seek from the chief of the eunuchs that he shall not defile himself. ⁹ And God will give Daniel to mercy and compassion before the chiefs of the eunuchs. ¹⁰ And the chief of the eunuchs will say to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who allotted your food and your drink: for wherefore shall he see your faces gloomy above the children as of your age? and make my head guilty to the King ¹¹ And Daniel will say to Melzar, whom the chief of the eunuchs appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, ¹² Prove now thy servants, ten days; and they shall give to us from seed herbs, and we will eat, and water, and we will drink. ¹³ And our aspects shall be seen before thee, and the aspect of the children eating the king's dainties: and according to what thou shalt see, do with thy servants. ¹⁴ And he wilt hear to them for this word, and he will try them ten days. ¹⁵ And from the end of ten days their aspect was seen good and fat of flesh above all the children eating of the king's dainties.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king spoke unto Ashpenaz the chief of his eunuchs, that he should bring of the children of Israel, both of the royal seed and of the nobles, ⁴ youths in whom was no blemish, and of goodly countenance, and skilful in all wisdom, and acquainted with 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 language of the Chaldeans. ⁵ And the king appointed unto them a daily provision of the king`s delicate food, and of the wine that he drank, to nourish them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. ⁶ Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. ⁷ And the prince of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel he gave [the name] Belteshazzar, and to Hananiah, Shadrach, and to Mishael, Meshach, and to Azariah, Abed-nego. ⁸ And Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not pollute himself with the king`s delicate food, nor with the wine which he drank; and he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not have to pollute himself. ⁹ And God granted Daniel favour and mercy before the prince of the eunuchs. ¹⁰ And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king who hath appointed your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces worse liking than the youths who are of your age? and ye would endanger my head with the king. ¹¹ And Daniel said to the steward, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, ¹² Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink; ¹³ then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king`s delicate food: and as thou shalt see, deal with thy servants. ¹⁴ And he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days. ¹⁵ And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and were fatter in flesh than all the youths that ate of the king`s delicate food.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in [certain] of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles; ⁴ youths 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 to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. ⁵ And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king’s meat, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. ⁶ Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. ⁷ And the prince of the eunuchs gave names unto them: unto Daniel he gave [the name of] Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, [of] Shadrach; and to Mishael, [of] Meshach; and to Azariah, [of] Abed-nego. ⁸ But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with 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 Now God made Daniel to find favour and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs. ¹⁰ And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Darnel, 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 youths which are of your own age? so should ye endanger my head with the king. ¹¹ Then said Daniel to the steward, whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: ¹² Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. ¹³ Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king’s meat; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants. ¹⁴ So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days. ¹⁵ And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths which did eat of the king’s meat.

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in [certain] of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles; ⁴ youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. ⁵ And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's dainties, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at the end thereof they should stand before the king. ⁶ Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. ⁷ And the prince of the eunuchs gave names unto them: unto Daniel he gave [the name of] Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, [of] Shadrach; and to Mishael, [of] Meshach; and to Azariah, [of] Abed-nego.
⁸ But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's dainties, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. ⁹ Now God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs. ¹⁰ And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? so would ye endanger my head with the king. ¹¹ Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: ¹² Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. ¹³ Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king's dainties; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
¹⁴ So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days. ¹⁵ And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths that did eat of the king's dainties.

3 H4428 And the king H559 spake H828 unto Ashpenaz H7227 the master H5631 of his eunuchs, H935 that he should bring H1121 in certain of the children H3478 of Israel, H2233 even of the seed H4410 royal H6579 and of the nobles;

4 H3206 youths H3971 in whom was no blemish, H2896 but well - H4758 favored, H7919 and skilful H2451 in all wisdom, H3045 and endued H1847 with knowledge, H995 and understanding H4093 science, H3581 and such as had ability H5975 to stand H4428 in the king's H1964 palace; H3925 and that he should teach H5612 them the learning H3956 and the tongue H3778 of the Chaldeans.

5 H4428 And the king H4487 appointed H3117 for them a daily H1697 portion H4428 of the king's H6598 dainties, H3196 and of the wine H4960 which he drank, H1431 and that they should be nourished H7969 three H8141 years; H7117 that at the end H5975 thereof they should stand H6440 before H4428 the king.

6 H1121 Now among these were, of the children H3063 of Judah, H1840 Daniel, H2608 Hananiah, H4332 Mishael, H5838 and Azariah.

7 H8269 And the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H7760 gave H8034 names H1840 unto them: unto Daniel H7760 he gave H1095 the name of Belteshazzar; H2608 and to Hananiah, H7714 of Shadrach; H4332 and to Mishael, H4335 of Meshach; H5838 and to Azariah, H5664 of Abed-nego.

8 H1840 But Daniel H7760 purposed H3820 in his heart H1351 that he would not defile H6598 himself with the H4428 king's H6598 dainties, H3196 nor with the wine H4960 which he drank: H1245 therefore he requested H8269 of the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H1351 that he might not defile himself.

9 H430 Now God H5414 made H1840 Daniel H2617 to find kindness H7356 and compassion H6440 in the sight H8269 of the prince H5631 of the eunuchs.

10 H8269 And the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H559 said H1840 unto Daniel, H3373 I fear H113 my lord H4428 the king, H4487 who hath appointed H3978 your food H4960 and your drink: H7200 for why should he see H6440 your faces H7200 worse looking H3206 than the youths H1524 that are of your own age? H2325 so would ye endanger H7218 my head H4428 with the king.

11 H559 Then said H1840 Daniel H4453 to the steward H8269 whom the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H4487 had appointed H1840 over Daniel, H2608 Hananiah, H4332 Mishael, H5838 and Azariah:

12 H5254 Prove H5650 thy servants, H6235 I beseech thee, ten H3117 days; H5414 and let them give H2235 us pulse H398 to eat, H4325 and water H8354 to drink.

13 H4758 Then let our countenances H7200 be looked upon H6440 before H4758 thee, and the countenance H3206 of the youths H398 that eat H6598 of the H4428 king's H6598 dainties; H7200 and as thou seest, H6213 deal H5650 with thy servants.

14 H8085 So he hearkened H1697 unto them in this matter, H5254 and proved H6235 them ten H3117 days.

15 H7117 And at the end H6235 of ten H3117 days H4758 their countenances H7200 appeared H2896 fairer, H1277 and they were fatter H1320 in flesh, H3206 than all the youths H398 that did eat H6598 of the H4428 king's H6598 dainties.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king spoke unto Ashpenaz his chief officer, that he should bring in certain of the children of Israel, and of the seed royal, and of the nobles, ⁴ youths in whom was no blemish, but fair to look on, and skilful in all wisdom, and skilful in knowledge, and discerning in thought, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. ⁵ And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's food, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. ⁶ Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. ⁷ And the chief of the officers gave names unto them: unto Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abed-nego. ⁸ But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's food, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the officers that he might not defile himself. ⁹ And God granted Daniel mercy and compassion in the sight of the chief of the officers. ¹⁰ And the chief of the officers said unto Daniel: 'I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces sad in comparison with the youths that are of your own age? so would ye endanger my head with the king.' ¹¹ Then said Daniel to the steward, whom the chief of the officers had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: ¹² 'Try thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. ¹³ Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king's food; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.' ¹⁴ So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and tried them ten days. ¹⁵ And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths that did eat of the king's food.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Then did the king give word to Ashpenaz, the chief of his eunuchs,––that he should bring in, of the sons of Israel, even of the seed royal, and of the nobles, ⁴ youths in whom was no blemish, but comely of countenance, and skilful in all wisdom, and possessed of knowledge, and able to impart instruction, and who had vigour in them, to stand in the palace of the king,––and that they should be taught the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. ⁵ And the king appointed them the provision of each day upon its day, out of the delicacies of the king and out of the wine which he drank, and so to let them grow three years,––and, at the end thereof, that they should stand before the king. ⁶ Now there were, among them, out of the sons of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; ⁷ and the ruler of the eunuchs gave them names,––yea he gave to Daniel the name of Belteshazzar, and to Hananiah of Shadrach, and to Mishael of Meshach, and to Azariah of Abed–nego.
⁸ But Daniel laid it upon his heart, that he would not defile himself with the delicacies of the king, nor with the wine which he drank,––therefore sought he of the ruler of the eunuchs, that he might not defile himself. ⁹ But, although God had brought Daniel into lovingkindness and tender compassion, before the ruler of the eunuchs, ¹⁰ yet said the ruler of the eunuchs unto Daniel, I do fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink,––for why should he see your faces more sad than those of the youths of your own age? so should ye bring me under the penalty of mine own head unto the king. ¹¹ Then said Daniel, unto the overseer whom the ruler of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: ¹² I pray thee––prove thy servants, ten days,––and let them give us vegetable food, that we may eat, and water that we may drink: ¹³ then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenances of the youths who have been eating the delicacies of the king,––and, as thou shalt see, deal thou with thy servants. ¹⁴ So then he hearkened unto them, according to this word,––and proved them ten–days; ¹⁵ and, at the end of ten days, their countenances appeared more comely, and fatter in flesh,––than any of the youths who had been eating the delicacies of the king.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Speaking is the king to Ashpenaz, the grandee of his eunuchs, to bring of the sons of the grandees of Israel, and of the seed royal, and of the highborn;" ⁴ boys in whom there is no blemish at all, who are of good appearance. Those intelligent in all wisdom, and knowing knowledge, and understanding what is known, and who have vigor in them to stand in the palace before the king, he is to teach them the script and language of the Chaldeans." ⁵ Assigning is the king to them the day's menu in its day, from the dainties of the king, and from the wine of the king's feasts. They are to grow up three years, and at their end they are to stand before the king." ⁶ Now there are among them (of the sons of Judah) Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah." ⁷ When the chief of the eunuchs is giving names to them, he is naming Daniel Belteshazzar, Hananiah Shadrach, Mishael Meshach, and Azariah Abed-nego." ⁸ Yet determining is Daniel in his heart that he will not sully himself with the dainties of the king, or with the wine of his feasts. When he is seeking permission from the chief of the eunuchs that he not be sullying himself, ⁹ Elohim is showing Daniel kindness and compassion before the chief of the eunuchs. ¹⁰ Saying is the chief of the eunuchs to Daniel, "I am fearing my lord the king who assigned your food and your drink. Why shall he see your faces more languid and feeble than the other boys who are of your deportation? You make me indebted to the king with my head!" ¹¹ Saying is Daniel to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs assigned over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, ¹² Pray, try out your servants ten days. They shall give to us of the seed-foods of the land, and we will eat; and water, we will drink." ¹³ Our appearances shall be seen before you, and the appearance of the boys who are eating the king's dainties. According to what you shall see, do with your servants." ¹⁴ Now he is hearkening to them in this thing and trying them out ten days, ¹⁵ and at the end of ten days, their appearance is seen to be better and plumper in flesh than any of the boys who are eating the king's dainties."

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king gave orders to Ashpenaz, the captain of his unsexed servants, to take in some of the children of Israel, certain of the king's family, and those of high birth; ⁴ Young men who were strong and healthy, good-looking, and trained in all wisdom, having a good education and much knowledge, and able to take positions in the king's house; and to have them trained in the writing and language of the Chaldaeans. ⁵ And a regular amount of food and wine every day from the king's table was ordered for them by the king; and they were to be cared for for three years so that at the end of that time they might take their places before the king. ⁶ And among these there were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. ⁷ And the captain of the unsexed servants gave them names; to Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar, to Hananiah the name of Shadrach, to Mishael the name of Meshach, and to Azariah the name of Abed-nego. ⁸ And Daniel had come to the decision that he would not make himself unclean with the king's food or wine; so he made a request to the captain of the unsexed servants that he might not make himself unclean. ⁹ And God put into the heart of the captain of the unsexed servants kind feelings and pity for Daniel. ¹⁰ And the captain of the unsexed servants said to Daniel, I am in fear of my lord the king, who has given orders about your food and your drink; what if he sees you looking less happy than the other young men of your generation? then you would have put my head in danger from the king. ¹¹ Then Daniel said to the keeper in whose care the captain of the unsexed servants had put Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: ¹² Put your servants to the test for ten days; let them give us grain for our food and water for our drink. ¹³ Then take a look at our faces and the faces of the young men who have food from the king's table; and, having seen them, do to your servants as it seems right to you. ¹⁴ So he gave ear to them in this thing and put them to the test for ten days. ¹⁵ And at the end of ten days their faces seemed fairer and they were fatter in flesh than all the young men who had their food from the king's table.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs that he should bring some of the sons of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the rulers; ⁴ sons in whom was no blemish, but who were handsome and skillful in all wisdom; and who had knowledge and understanding, even those who were able to stand in the king's palace, and to whom they might teach the writing and the language of the Chaldeans. ⁵ And the king gave them the portion of a day in its day from the king's food, and the wine which he drank, even to rear them three years, so that at their end they might stand before the king. ⁶ And among them were four of the sons of Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, ⁷ to whom the ruler of the eunuchs gave names. For he called Daniel, Belteshazzar; and Hananiah, Shadrach; and Mishael, Meshach; and Azariah, Abednego. ⁸ But Daniel laid on his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's food, nor with the wine which he drank. So he asked permission of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. ⁹ And God had given Daniel kindness and compassion before the chief of the eunuchs. ¹⁰ And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has chosen your food and your drink. For why should he see your faces worse looking than the boys who are of your kind?

10 H8269 And the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H559 said H1840 unto Daniel, H3373 I fear H113 my lord H4428 the king, H4487 who has appointed H3978 your food H4960 and your drink: H7200 for why should he see H6440 your faces H2196 worse liking H3206 than the sons H1524 which are of your sort? H2325 then shall you make me endanger H7218 my head H4428 to the king.

11 H559 Then said H1840 Daniel H4453 to Melzar, H8269 whom the prince H5631 of the eunuchs H4487 had set H1840 over Daniel, H2608 Hananiah, H4332 Mishael, H5838 and Azariah,

12 H5254 Prove H5650 your servants, H6235 I beg you, ten H3117 days; H5414 and let them give H2235 us vegetables H398 to eat, H4325 and water H8354 to drink.

13 H4758 Then let our countenances H7200 be looked upon H6440 before H4758 you, and the favor H3206 of the sons H398 that eat H6598 of the portion H4428 of the king's H6598 food: H7200 and as you see, H6213 deal H5650 with your servants.

14 H8085 So he consented H1697 to them in this matter, H5254 and proved H6235 them ten H3117 days.

15 H7117 And at the end H6235 of ten H3117 days H4758 their countenances H7200 appeared H2896 fairer H1277 and fatter H1320 in flesh H3206 than all the sons H398 which did eat H6598 the portion H4428 of the king's H6598 food.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king spoke unto Ashpenaz the prince of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the sons of Israel of the royal lineage of the princes, ⁴ young men in whom there was no blemish whatsoever but who were good looking and taught in all wisdom and wise in knowledge and of good understanding, and that had strength in them to stand in the king’s palace, that they might be taught the letters and speech of the Chaldeans. ⁵ And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king’s food and of the wine which he drank, so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. ⁶ Now among these of the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: 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 ¶ And Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s food, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. ⁹ (And God brought Daniel into grace and mercy with the prince of the eunuchs.) ¹⁰ And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink; for when he shall see your faces more downcast than the other young men who are like unto you, then ye shall condemn my head before the king. ¹¹ Then Daniel said to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, ¹² Prove, now, with thy slaves ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. ¹³ Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenances of the young men that eat of the portion of the king’s food; and as thou seest, deal with thy slaves. ¹⁴ So he consented to them in this matter and proved them ten days. ¹⁵ And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than the young men who ate the portion of the king’s food.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king told Ashpenaz his chief eunuch, to bring in some of the captive children of Israel, and of the seed of the kingdom, and of the princes; ⁴ young men in whom was no blemish, and beautiful in appearance, and skilled in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and acquainted with prudence, and who had ability to stand in the house before the king, and the king gave commandment to teach them the knowledge and language of the Chaldeans. ⁵ And the king appointed them a daily portion from the king's table, and from the wine which he drank; and gave orders to nourish them three years, and that afterwards they should stand before the king. ⁶ Now these were among them of the children of Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael. ⁷ And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, Shadrach; and to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abed-Nego. ⁸ And Daniel purposed in his heart, that he would not defile himself with the king's table, nor with the wine of his drink: and he intreated the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. ⁹ Now God had brought Daniel into favor and compassion with the chief of the eunuchs. ¹⁰ And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your meat and your drink, lest he see your countenances gloomy, in comparison with the young men your equals; also shall you endanger my head to the king. ¹¹ And Daniel said to Melzar, whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, ¹² Please test your servants ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink. ¹³ And let our countenances be seen by you, and the countenances of the children that eat at the king's table; and deal with your servants according as you shall see. ¹⁴ And he hearkened to them, and tested them ten days. ¹⁵ And at the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer and stouter in flesh, than the children that ate at the king's table.

LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king told Asphanez his chief eunuch, to bring in some of the captive children of Israel, and of the seed of the kingdom, and of the princes; ⁴ young men in whom was no blemish, and beautiful in appearance, and skilled in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and acquainted with prudence, and who had ability to stand in the house before the king, and the king gave commandment to teach them the learning and language of the Chaldeans. ⁵ And the king appointed them a daily portion from the king's table, and from the wine which he drank; and [gave orders] to nourish them three years, and [that] afterwards they should stand before the king. ⁶ Now these were among them of the children of Juda, Daniel, and Ananias, and Azarias, and Misael. ⁷ And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Baltasar; and to Ananias, Sedrach; and to Misael, Misach; and to Azarias, Abdenago. ⁸ And Daniel purposed in his heart, that he would not defile himself with the king's table, nor with the wine of his drink: and he entreated the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. ⁹ Now God [had] brought Daniel into favor and compassion with the chief of the eunuchs. ¹⁰ And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your meat and your drink, lest he see your countenances gloomy in comparison of the young men your equals; also shall you⌃ endanger my head to the king. ¹¹ And Daniel said to Amelsad, whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, [and] Azarias. ¹² Prove now your servants ten days; and let them give us pulse, and let us eat, and let us drink water: ¹³ And let our countenances be seen by you, and the countenances of the children that eat [at] the king's table; and deal with your servants according as you shall see. ¹⁴ And he listened to them, and proved them ten days. ¹⁵ And at the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer and stouter in flesh, than the children that fed at the king's table.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ The king ordered Ashpenaz the chief of his officials to bring in some of the Israelites including some of the royal family and nobles. ⁴ These were young people who had no defects. They were good looking and intelligent, with knowledge. They showed wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of science. They had ability to serve in the king's court and were taught the language and literature of the Chaldeans. ⁵ The king assigned a daily amount of the king's special rich food for them and also the wine that he drank. They were to be educated for three years. At the end of that time they would serve the king. ⁶ Now among these children of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. ⁷ The officer in charge gave names to them: To Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar. Hananiah was called Shadrach. Mishael was called Meshach and Azariah was named Abednego. ⁸ Daniel determined in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's special food and wine. He requested permission from the officer in charge that he might not defile himself. ⁹ God caused the officer in charge to show special favor and kindness to Daniel. ¹⁰ The officer in charge said to Daniel: »I fear my lord the king. He has appointed your food and your drink. Why should he see your faces worse looking than other young people your age? Would you endanger my head with the king?« ¹¹ Daniel answered the officer appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: ¹² »Test your servants, please, for ten days. Give them vegetables to eat and water to drink. ¹³ »You compare our appearance and the appearance of the young people who eat the king’s special food. Then you deal with us according to what you see.« ¹⁴ So he listened to them and allowed them to prove the matter for ten days. ¹⁵ They looked better when the ten days ended! They were fairer in appearance and fatter in flesh than the young people who ate the king’s special food.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Later, the king ordered Ashpenaz, his chief officer, to bring in some Israelis of royal and noble descent. ⁴ They were to be young men without physical defect, handsome in appearance, skilled in all wisdom, quick to learn, prudent in how they used knowledge, and capable of serving in the king’s palace. They were to learn the literature and language of the Chaldeans.
⁵ The king assigned them fine food and choice wine on a daily basis, ordering them to be trained for three years, at the end of which time they would enter the king’s service. ⁶ Included among the people of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. ⁷ The chief officer assigned the name “Belteshazzar” to Daniel, the name “Shadrach” to Hananiah, the name “Meshach” to Mishael, and the name “Abednego” to Azariah.
⁸ Daniel Chooses God’s StandardDaniel determined within himself not to become defiled by the king’s menu of rich foods or by the king’s wine, so he requested permission from the chief officer not to defile himself. ⁹ God granted to Daniel grace and compassion on the part of the chief officer. ¹⁰ The chief officer told Daniel, “I fear his majesty the king, who has determined what you eat and drink. If he notices that your faces are more pale than the other young men in your group, I will forfeit my head to the king.”
¹¹ But Daniel told the guard whom the chief officer had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, ¹² “Please test your servants for ten days and let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. ¹³ Then compare how we look with the young men who ate the king’s rich food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you observe.”
¹⁴ So he listened to what Daniel said and tested them for ten days. ¹⁵ At the end of ten days their appearance was better and their faces were well-nourished compared to the young men who ate the king’s rich food.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king _⌊ordered_⌋* Ashpenaz, the commander of his court officials, to bring _⌊some of the Israelites_⌋* from _⌊the royal family_⌋* and from the lords,* ⁴ youths who _⌊have no physical defect_⌋,* and who are _⌊handsome_⌋,* and who are prudent* in all wisdom and _⌊endowed with knowledge_⌋,* and who understand insight, and who have the _⌊ability_⌋* in them to serve in the palace of the king. And the king ordered him to teach them the literature and the language of the Chaldeans. ⁵ And the king assigned to them _⌊his daily portion_⌋* from the fine food of the king, and from _⌊the wine that he drank_⌋,* and instructed that _⌊they were to be educated for three years_⌋.* And at the end of their training, _⌊they were to be stationed_⌋* _⌊before_⌋* the king. ⁶ Now there was among them _⌊from the Judeans_⌋,* Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. ⁷ And the commander of the court officials gave them names, and he called Daniel, Belteshazzar; and Hananiah, Shadrach; and Mishael, Meshach; and Azariah, Abednego. ⁸ Now _⌊Daniel resolved_⌋* that he would not defile himself with the fine food of the king, and with _⌊the wine that he drank_⌋,* and so he requested from the commander of the court officials permission so that he would not defile himself. ⁹ And God* gave Daniel favor and compassion _⌊before_⌋* the commander of the court officials, ¹⁰ and the commander of the court officials said to Daniel, "I am afraid of my lord, the king, who has determined your food and your drink, for _⌊why should_⌋* he see your face having a worse appearance than the young men who _⌊are your age_⌋?* Then you will endanger my head with the king." ¹¹ Then* Daniel asked the guard* whom the commander of the court officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, ¹² "Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us _⌊some of the vegetables_⌋,* and let us eat and let us drink water. ¹³ Then* let our appearances and the appearance of the young men who are eating the fine food of the king be compared _⌊before you_⌋,* and then deal with your servants _⌊according to what you see_⌋."* ¹⁴ So he agreed to this proposal with them, and he tested them for ten days. ¹⁵ And at the end of ten days their appearances appeared better and they were healthier of body than all the young men who were eating the fine food of the king.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, the chief of his court officials, to bring in some Israelites from the royal family and the nobility— ⁴ 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. ⁵ 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. ⁶ Among these young men were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. ⁷ The chief official gave them new names: To Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego. ⁸ 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. ⁹ Now God had granted Daniel favor and compassion from the chief official, ¹⁰ 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!” ¹¹ Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, ¹² “Please test your servants for ten days. Let us be given only vegetables to eat and water to drink. ¹³ 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.” ¹⁴ So he consented to this and tested them for ten days. ¹⁵ 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.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in certain of the sons of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the ranking men, ⁴ youths in whom was no blemish, but fine-looking and skillful in all wisdom and endued with knowledge and understanding science and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace. And that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
⁵ And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's food and of the wine which he drank. And that they should be nourished three years, that at the end of it they should stand before the king.
⁶ Now among these were, of the sons of Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. ⁷ And the ruler of the eunuchs gave names to them. To Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar and to Hananiah, of Shadrach and to Mishael, of Meshach and to Azariah, of Abed-nego.
⁸ But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's food, nor with the wine which he drank. Therefore he requested of the ruler of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
⁹ Now God made Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the ruler of the eunuchs. ¹⁰ And the ruler of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your* food and your* drink. For why should he see your* faces worse looking than the youths that are of your* own age? So you* would endanger my head with the king.
¹¹ Then Daniel said to the steward whom the ruler of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, ¹² I beseech you, test your servants ten days and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. ¹³ Then let our countenances be looked upon before you and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king's food. And as you see, deal with your servants.
¹⁴ So he listened to them in this matter and tested them ten days. ¹⁵ And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared finer and they were fuller in flesh, than all the youths who ate of the king's dainties.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And the king ordered Ashpenaz, the commander of his court officials, to bring some of the Israelites from the royal family and from the lords, ⁴ youths in whom was no blemish, but handsome, well educated, knowledgeable, understanding science, and such as had the ability to stand in the king's palace; that he should teach them the learning and the language of the Chaldeans. ⁵ The king assigned them fine food and choice wine on a daily basis, ordering them to be trained for three years, at the end of which time they would enter the king's service. ⁶ Now among these were, of the Judeans, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. ⁷ The prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: to Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego. ⁸ And Daniel having resolved not to pollute himself with the table of the king nor with the wine which he drank, intreated the chamberlain that he might not be denied. ⁹ God caused the officer in charge to show special favor and kindness to Daniel. ¹⁰ The officer in charge said to Daniel: "I fear my lord the king. He has appointed your food and your drink. Why should he see your faces worse looking than other young people your age?

7 H8269 Und der oberste H5631 Kämmerer H7760 gab H8034 ihnen Namen H7760 und nannte H1840 Daniel H1095 Beltsazar H2608 und Hananja H7714 Sadrach H4332 und Misael H4335 Mesach H5838 und Asarja H5664 Abed–Nego .

8 H1840 Aber Daniel H7760 setzte H3820 sich vor in seinem Herzen H4428 , daß er sich mit des Königs H6598 Speise H3196 und mit dem Wein H4960 , den er selbst trank H1351 , nicht verunreinigen H1245 wollte, und bat H8269 den obersten H5631 Kämmerer H1351 , daß er sich nicht müßte verunreinigen .

9 H430 Und Gott H5414 gab H1840 Daniel H6440 , daß ihm H8269 der oberste H5631 Kämmerer H7356 günstig H2617 und gnädig H6440 ward .

10 H8269 H5631 Derselbe H559 sprach H1840 zu ihm H3373 : Ich fürchte H113 mich vor meinem Herrn H4428 , dem König H3978 , der euch eure Speise H4960 und Trank H4487 bestimmt H7200 hat; wo er würde sehen H6440 , daß eure Angesichter H2196 jämmerlicher H3206 wären denn der andern Knaben H1524 eures Alters H2325 , so brächtet H4428 ihr mich bei dem König H2325 um H7218 mein Leben .

11 H559 Da sprach H1840 Daniel H4453 zu dem Aufseher H8269 , welchem der oberste H5631 Kämmerer H1840 Daniel H2608 , Hananja H4332 , Misael H5838 und Asarja H4487 befohlen hatte:

12 H5254 Versuche H5650 es doch mit deinen Knechten H6235 zehn H3117 Tage H5414 und laß uns geben H2235 Gemüse H398 zu essen H4325 und Wasser H8354 zu trinken .

13 H6440 Und laß dann vor H4758 dir unsre Gestalt H3206 und der Knaben H4428 , so von des Königs H6598 Speise H398 essen H7200 , besehen H7200 ; und darnach du sehen H6213 wirst, darnach schaffe H5650 mit deinen Knechten .

14 H8085 Und er gehorchte H1697 ihnen darin H5254 und versuchte H6235 es mit ihnen zehn H3117 Tage .

15 H7117 Und nach H6235 den zehn H3117 Tagen H4758 H7200 waren H2896 sie schöner H1277 und besser H1320 bei Leibe H3206 denn alle Knaben H4428 , so von des Königs H6598 Speise H398 aßen .

ELB1871⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Und der König befahl dem Aschpenas, dem Obersten seiner Kämmerer, daß er von den Kindern Israel, sowohl von dem königlichen Samen als auch von den Vornehmen, Jünglinge brächte, ⁴ an welchen keinerlei Fehl wäre, und schön von Ansehen und unterwiesen in aller Weisheit und kenntnisreich und mit Einsicht begabt, und welche tüchtig wären, im Palaste des Königs zu stehen; und daß man sie die Schriften und die Sprache der Chaldäer lehre. ⁵ Und der König verordnete ihnen ein Tagtägliches von der Tafelkost des Königs und von dem Weine, den er trank, und daß man sie drei Jahre lang erzöge; und am Ende derselben sollten sie vor dem König stehen. ⁶ Und es waren unter ihnen, von den Kindern Juda: Daniel, Hananja, Misael und Asarja. ⁷ Und der Oberste der Kämmerer gab ihnen Namen; und er nannte Daniel Beltsazar, und Hananja Sadrach, und Misael Mesach, und Asarja Abednego. ⁸ Und Daniel nahm sich in seinem Herzen vor, sich nicht mit der Tafelkost des Königs und mit dem Weine, den er trank, zu verunreinigen; und er erbat sich von dem Obersten der Kämmerer, daß er sich nicht verunreinigen müsse. ⁹ Und Gott gab Daniel Gnade und Barmherzigkeit vor dem Obersten der Kämmerer. ¹⁰ Und der Oberste der Kämmerer sprach zu Daniel: Ich fürchte meinen Herrn, den König, der eure Speise und euer Getränk verordnet hat; denn warum sollte er sehen, daß eure Angesichter verfallener wären als die der Jünglinge eures Alters, so daß ihr meinen Kopf beim König verwirktet? ¹¹ Und Daniel sprach zu dem Aufseher, welchen der Oberste der Kämmerer über Daniel, Hananja, Misael und Asarja bestellt hatte: ¹² Versuche es doch mit deinen Knechten zehn Tage, und man gebe uns Gemüse zu essen und Wasser zu trinken; ¹³ und dann mögen unser Aussehen und das Aussehen der Jünglinge, welche die Tafelkost des Königs essen, von dir geprüft werden; und tue mit deinen Knechten nach dem, was du sehen wirst. ¹⁴ Und er hörte auf sie in dieser Sache und versuchte es zehn Tage mit ihnen. ¹⁵ Und am Ende der zehn Tage zeigte sich ihr Aussehen besser und völliger an Fleisch als dasjenige aller Jünglinge, welche die Tafelkost des Königs aßen.

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ En de koning zeide tot Aspenaz, den overste zijner kamerlingen, dat hij voorbrengen zou enigen uit de kinderen Israëls, te weten, uit het koninklijk zaad, en uit de prinsen; ⁴ Jongelingen, aan dewelke geen gebrek ware, maar schoon van aangezicht, en vernuftig in alle wijsheid, en ervaren in wetenschap, en kloek van verstand, en in dewelke bekwaamheid ware, om te staan in des konings paleis; en dat men hen onderwees in de boeken en spraak der Chaldeeën. ⁵ En de koning verordende hun, wat men ze dag bij dag geven zou van de stukken der spijs des konings, en van den wijn zijns dranks, en dat men hen drie jaren alzo optoog, en dat zij ten einde derzelve zouden staan voor het aangezicht des konings. ⁶ Onder dezelve nu waren uit de kinderen van Juda: Daniël, Hananja, Misael en Azarja. ⁷ En de overste der kamerlingen gaf hun andere namen, en Daniël noemde hij Beltsazar, en Hananja Sadrach, en Misael Mesach, en Azarja Abed-nego. ⁸ Daniël nu nam voor in zijn hart, dat hij zich niet zou ontreinigen met de stukken van de spijs des konings, noch met den wijn zijns dranks; daarom verzocht hij van den overste der kamerlingen, dat hij zich niet mocht ontreinigen. ⁹ En God gaf Daniël genade en barmhartigheid voor het aangezicht van den overste der kamerlingen. ¹⁰ Want de overste der kamerlingen zeide tot Daniël: Ik vreze mijn heer, den koning, die ulieder spijs, en ulieder drank verordend heeft; want waarom zou hij ulieder aangezichten droeviger zien, dan der jongelingen, die in gelijkheid met ulieden zijn?

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Et le roi dit à Asphanez, chef de ses eunuques, de lui amener quelques-uns des Bis des captifs d’Israël de la race royale et des princes, ⁴ Jeunes gens sans infirmité, beaux de formes, initiés à toute sagesse, savants, doués de prudence et dignes d’habiter le palais en présence du roi, et il lui ordonna de les instruire dans la langue et les lettres des Chaldéens. ⁵ Et le roi ordonna que chaque jour on les nourrit durant trois ans des mets de sa table royale, et du vin dont lui-même buvait, et qu’ensuite ils se tinssent en présence du roi. ⁶ Et parmi eux se trouvèrent des fils de Juda, Daniel, Ananias, Azarias et Missel. ⁷ Et le chef des eunuques leur donna des noms: il appela Daniel Baltasar, et Ananias Sidrach, et Nisaél MiBach, et Azarias Abdénago. ⁸ ¶ Mais Daniel eut à coeur de ne point se souiller des mets de la table du roi, ni du vin dont il faisait usage, et il pria le chef des eunuques de lui permettre de ne s’en point souiller. ⁹ Et Dieu accorda que Daniel obtînt les bonnes grâces et la compassion du chef des eunuques. ¹⁰ Et le chef des eunuques dit à Daniel: J’ai peur que le roi, mon maître, après m’avoir donné des ordres pour vos aliments et votre breuvage, ne vous voie peut-être mauvais visage, en comparaison des jeunes gens de votre âge; et vous me feriez condamner à mort par le roi. ¹¹ Et Daniel dit à Amelsad, à qui le chef des eunuques avait confié la garde de Daniel, d’Ananias, de Bissé. et d’Azarias: ¹² Éprouve tes serviteurs pendant dix jours, et fais nous donner quelques graines que nous mangerons; et nous boirons de l’eau. ¹³ Puis regarde notre visage et le visage des jeunes gens qui se seront nourris de la table du roi; et selon ce que tu auras vu, agis à l’égard de tes serviteurs. ¹⁴ Et il les exauça, et il les éprouva pendant dix jours. ¹⁵ Et au bout des dix jours il fut reconnu qu’ils avaient le visage meilleur et les chairs plus fermes que les jeunes gens nourris de la table du roi.

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Et le roi dit ààà Ashpenaz, chef de ses eunuques, d'amener d'entre les fils d'Israël, et de la semence royale et d'entre les nobles, ⁴ des jeunes gens en qui il n'y eût aucun défaut, et beaux de visage, et instruits en toute sagesse, et possédant des connaissances, et entendus en science, et qui fussent capables de se tenir dans le palais du roi, -et de leur enseigner les lettres et la langue des Chaldéens. ⁵ Et le roi leur assigna, pour chaque jour, une portion fixe des mets délicats du roi et du vin qu'il buvait, pour les élever pendant trois ans, à la fin desquels ils se tiendraient devant le roi. ⁶ Et parmi eux il y avait, d'entre les fils de Juda, Daniel, Hanania, Mishaël, et Azaria; ⁷ et le prince des eunuques leur donna des noms: à Daniel il donna le nom de Belteshatsar, et à Hanania celui de Shadrac, et à Mishaël celui de Méshac, et à Azaria celui d'Abed-Nego. ⁸
Et Daniel arrêta dans son coeur qu'il ne se souillerait point par les mets délicats du roi et par le vin qu'il buvait; et il demanda au prince des eunuques de lui permettre de ne pas se souiller. ⁹ Et Dieu fit trouver à Daniel faveur et grâce auprès du prince des eunuques. ¹⁰ Et le prince des eunuques dit à Daniel: Je crains le roi mon seigneur, qui a prescrit votre nourriture et votre boisson; car pourquoi verrait-il vos visages plus tristes que ceux des jeunes gens de votre âge? Et vous exposeriez ma tête auprès du roi. ¹¹ Et Daniel dit à l'intendant que le prince des eunuques avait établi sur Daniel, Hanania, Mishaël et Azaria: ¹² Éprouve, je te prie, tes serviteurs dix jours, et qu'on nous donne des légumes à manger, et de l'eau à boire; ¹³ et on regardera, en ta présence, nos visages et le visage des jeunes gens qui mangent les mets délicats du roi; et tu agiras avec tes serviteurs d'après ce que tu verras. ¹⁴ Et il les écoutera dans cette affaire, et les mit à l'épreuve, dix jours; ¹⁵ et, au bout de dix jours, leurs visages avaient meilleure apparence et étaient plus gras que ceux de tous les jeunes gens qui mangeaient les mets délicats du roi.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Et le Roi dit à Aspenaz, Capitaine de ses Eunuques, qu'il amenât d'entre les enfants d'Israël, et de la race Royale et des principaux Seigneurs, ⁴ Quelques jeunes enfants, en qui il n'y eût aucun défaut, beaux de visage, instruits en toute sagesse, connaissant les sciences, qui eussent beaucoup d'intelligence, et en qui il y eût de la force, pour se tenir au palais du Roi; et qu'on leur enseignât les lettres et la langue des Caldéens. ⁵ Et le Roi leur assigna pour provision chaque jour une portion de la viande Royale, et du vin dont il buvait; afin qu'on les nourrît ainsi trois ans, et qu'ensuite quelques-uns d'entre eux servissent en la présence du Roi. ⁶ Entre ceux-là il y eut des enfants de Juda, Daniel, Hanania, Misaël et Hazaria. ⁷ Mais le Capitaine des Eunuques leur mit d'autres noms; car il donna à Daniel le nom de Beltesatsar; à Hanania, celui de Sadrac; à Misaël, celui de Mésac; et à Hazaria, celui d'Habed-nego. ⁸ Or Daniel se proposa dans son coeur de ne se point souiller par la portion de la viande du Roi, ni par le vin dont le Roi buvait; c'est pourquoi il supplia le Chef des Eunuques afin qu'il ne l'engageât point à se souiller. ⁹ Et Dieu fit que le Chef des Eunuques eut de la bonté pour Daniel, et qu'il eut pitié de lui. ¹⁰ Toutefois le Capitaine des Eunuques dit à Daniel : Je crains le Roi mon maître, qui a ordonné votre manger et votre boire; pourquoi verrait-il vos visages plus défaits que ceux des autres jeunes enfants vos semblables, et rendriez-vous ma tête coupable envers le Roi ? ¹¹ Mais Daniel dit à Meltsar, qui avait été ordonné par le Capitaine des Eunuques sur Daniel, Hanania, Misaël, et Hazaria; ¹² Eprouve, je te prie, tes serviteurs pendant dix jours, et qu'on nous donne des légumes à manger, et de l'eau à boire. ¹³ Et après cela regarde nos visages, et les visages des jeunes enfants qui mangent la portion de la viande Royale; puis tu feras à tes serviteurs selon ce que tu auras vu. ¹⁴ Et il leur accorda cela, et les éprouva pendant dix jours. ¹⁵ Mais au bout des dix jours leurs visages parurent en meilleur état, et ils avaient plus d'embonpoint que tous les jeunes enfants qui mangeaient la portion de la viande Royale.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Le roi donna l'ordre à Aschpenaz, chef de ses eunuques, d'amener quelques-uns des enfants d'Israël de race royale ou de famille noble, ⁴ de jeunes garçons sans défaut corporel, beaux de figure, doués de sagesse, d'intelligence et d'instruction, capables de servir dans le palais du roi, et à qui l'on enseignerait les lettres et la langue des Chaldéens. ⁵ Le roi leur assigna pour chaque jour une portion des mets de sa table et du vin dont il buvait, voulant les élever pendant trois années, au bout desquelles ils seraient au service du roi. ⁶ Il y avait parmi eux, d'entre les enfants de Juda, Daniel, Hanania, Mischaël et Azaria. ⁷ Le chef des eunuques leur donna des noms, à Daniel celui de Beltschatsar, à Hanania celui de Schadrac, à Mischaël celui de Méschac, et à Azaria celui d'Abed-Nego. ⁸ Daniel résolut de ne pas se souiller par les mets du roi et par le vin dont le roi buvait, et il pria le chef des eunuques de ne pas l'obliger à se souiller. ⁹ Dieu fit trouver à Daniel faveur et grâce devant le chef des eunuques. ¹⁰ Le chef des eunuques dit à Daniel: Je crains mon seigneur le roi, qui a fixé ce que vous devez manger et boire; car pourquoi verrait-il votre visage plus abattu que celui des jeunes gens de votre âge? Vous exposeriez ma tête auprès du roi. ¹¹ Alors Daniel dit à l'intendant à qui le chef des eunuques avait remis la surveillance de Daniel, de Hanania, de Mischaël et d'Azaria: ¹² Eprouve tes serviteurs pendant dix jours, et qu'on nous donne des légumes à manger et de l'eau à boire; ¹³ tu regarderas ensuite notre visage et celui des jeunes gens qui mangent les mets du roi, et tu agiras avec tes serviteurs d'après ce que tu auras vu. ¹⁴ Il leur accorda ce qu'ils demandaient, et les éprouva pendant dix jours. ¹⁵ Au bout de dix jours, ils avaient meilleur visage et plus d'embonpoint que tous les jeunes gens qui mangeaient les mets du roi.

6 H1121 Il y avait parmi eux, d’entre les enfants H3063 de Juda H1840 , Daniel H2608 , Hanania H4332 , Mischaël H5838 et Azaria.

7 H8269 Le chef H5631 des eunuques H7760 leur donna H8799 H8034 des noms H7760 , H8799 H1840 à Daniel H1095 celui de Beltschatsar H2608 , à Hanania H7714 celui de Schadrac H4332 , à Mischaël H4335 celui de Méschac H5838 , et à Azaria H5664 celui d’Abed-Nego.

8 H1840 ¶ Daniel H7760 résolut H8799 H3820 H1351 de ne pas se souiller H8691 H6598 par les mets H4428 du roi H3196 et par le vin H4960 dont le roi buvait H1245 , et il pria H8762 H8269 le chef H5631 des eunuques H1351 de ne pas l’obliger à se souiller H8691 .

9 H430 Dieu H5414 fit trouver H8799 H1840 à Daniel H2617 faveur H7356 et grâce H6440 devant H8269 le chef H5631 des eunuques.

10 H8269 Le chef H5631 des eunuques H559 dit H8799 H1840 à Daniel H3373 : Je crains H113 mon seigneur H4428 le roi H4487 , qui a fixé H8765 H3978 ce que vous devez manger H4960 et boire H7200 ; car pourquoi verrait H8799 H6440 -il votre visage H2196 plus abattu H8802 H3206 que celui des jeunes gens H1524 de votre âge H2325 ? Vous exposeriez H8765 H7218 ma tête H4428 auprès du roi.

11 H1840 Alors Daniel H559 dit H8799 H4453 à l’intendant H8269 à qui le chef H5631 des eunuques H4487 avait remis la surveillance H8765 H1840 de Daniel H2608 , de Hanania H4332 , de Mischaël H5838 et d’Azaria:

12 H5254 Eprouve H8761 H5650 tes serviteurs H6235 pendant dix H3117 jours H5414 , et qu’on nous donne H8799 H2235 des légumes H398 à manger H8799 H4325 et de l’eau H8354 à boire H8799 ;

14 H8085 Il leur accorda H8799 H1697 ce qu’ils demandaient H5254 , et les éprouva H8762 H6235 pendant dix H3117 jours.

15 H7117 Au bout H6235 de dix H3117 jours H7200 , ils avaient H8738 H2896 meilleur H4758 visage H1277 et plus d’embonpoint H1320 H3206 que tous les jeunes gens H398 qui mangeaient H8802 H6598 les mets H4428 du roi.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ И сказал царь Асфеназу, начальнику евнухов своих, чтобы он из сынов Израилевых, из рода царского и княжеского, привел ⁴ отроков, у которых нет никакого телесного недостатка, красивых видом, и понятливых для всякой науки, и разумеющих науки, и смышленых и годных служить в чертогах царских, и чтобы научил их книгам и языку Халдейскому. ⁵ И назначил им царь ежедневную пищу с царского стола и вино, котороесам пил, и велел воспитывать их три года, по истечениикоторых они должны были предстать пред царя. ⁶ Между ними были из сынов Иудиных Даниил, Анания, Мисаил и Азария. ⁷ И переименовал их начальник евнухов – Даниила Валтасаром, АнаниюСедрахом, Мисаила Мисахом и Азарию Авденаго. ⁸ Даниил положил в сердце своем не оскверняться яствами со стола царского и вином, какое пьет царь, и потому просил начальника евнухов о том, чтобы не оскверняться ему. ⁹ Бог даровал Даниилу милость и благорасположение начальника евнухов; ¹⁰ и начальник евнухов сказал Даниилу: боюсь я господина моего, царя, который сам назначил вам пищу и питье; если он увидит лица ваши худощавее, нежели у отроков, сверстников ваших, то вы сделаете голову мою виновноюперед царем. ¹¹ Тогда сказал Даниил Амелсару, которого начальник евнухов приставил к Даниилу, Анании, Мисаилу и Азарии: ¹² сделай опыт над рабами твоими в течение десяти дней; пусть дают нам в пищу овощи и воду для питья; ¹³ и потом пусть явятся перед тобою лица наши и лица тех отроков, которые питаются царскою пищею, и затем поступай с рабами твоими, как увидишь. ¹⁴ Он послушался их в этом и испытывал их десять дней. ¹⁵ По истечении же десяти дней лица их оказались красивее, и теломони были полнее всех тех отроков, которые питались царскими яствами.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ И царят каза на Асфеназ, началника на скопците си, да доведе някои от израилевите синове и от царския род, и от благородните — ⁴ момчета без никакъв недостатък, хубави на вид, които да проумяват всякаква мъдрост и да владеят знание, и да разбират наука, и които са способни да стоят в царския дворец, за да ги учи на книжнината и езика на халдейците. ⁵ И царят им определи за всеки ден дял от царските ястия и от виното, което той пиеше, и да ги възпитават три години, а след изтичането им да стоят пред царя. ⁶ А между тях бяха от юдовите синове Даниил, Анания, Мисаил и Азария. ⁷ И началникът на скопците ги преименува, като нарече Даниил Валтасасар, а Анания — Седрах, а Мисаил — Мисах, а Азария — Авденаго. ⁸ А Даниил реши в сърцето си да не се осквернява от ястията на царя и от виното, което той пиеше; и помоли началника на скопците да не се осквернява. ⁹ А Бог даде на Даниил благоволение и милост пред началника на скопците. ¹⁰ И началникът на скопците каза на Даниил: Аз се боя от господаря си, царя, който определи ястието ви и питието ви, да не би да види, че лицата ви изглеждат по-зле от тези на момчетата на вашата възраст, и така да изложите главата ми на опасност пред царя. ¹¹ Тогава Даниил каза на надзирателя, когото началникът на скопците беше поставил над Даниил, Анания, Мисаил и Азария: ¹² Опитай, моля те, със слугите си десет дни — да ни дават зеленчук да ядем и вода да пием. ¹³ После нека се прегледат пред теб нашите лица и лицата на момчетата, които ядат от ястията на царя; и според това, което видиш, постъпи със слугите си. ¹⁴ И той ги послуша в това нещо и опита с тях десет дни. ¹⁵ И на края на десетте дни техните лица изглеждаха по-красиви и по-охранени отколкото лицата на всичките момчета, които ядяха от ястията на царя.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Kralj naredi Ašfenazu, starješini svojih dvorjanika, da dovede od Izraelaca nekoliko dječaka kraljevskoga ili velikaškog roda: ⁴ neka budu bez nedostatka, lijepi, vrsni u svakoj mudrosti, dobro poučeni i bistri, prikladni da stoje na kraljevu dvoru; Ašfenaz neka ih nauči pismu i jeziku Kaldejaca. ⁵ Kralj im odredi dnevni obrok od kraljevskih jela i od vina sa svoga stola. Neka se odgajaju tri godine, a poslije toga imali bi stajati pred kraljem. ⁶ Među njima bijahu Judejci: Daniel, Hananija, Mišael i Azarja. ⁷ Dvorjanički starješina nadjene im imena: Daniel će se zvati Baltazar, Hananija Šadrak, Mišael Mešak, Azarja Abed Nego. ⁸ Daniel je u srcu odlučio da se neće okaljati kraljevim jelima i vinom s njegova stola, pa zamoli dvorjaničkog starješinu da ga poštedi te se ne okalja. ⁹ Bog dade Danielu te nađe dobrohotnost i smilovanje u dvorjaničkog starješine. ¹⁰ Starješina reče Danielu: "Bojim se svoga gospodara kralja; on vam je odredio jelo i pilo, pa ako vidi da su vam lica mršavija nego u drugih dječaka vaše dobi, ja ću zbog vas biti kriv pred kraljem." ¹¹ Tada reče Daniel čuvaru koga bijaše dvorjanički starješina odredio Danielu, Hananiji, Mišaelu i Azarji: ¹² "Molim te, pokušaj sa svojim slugama deset dana: neka nam se daje povrće za jelo i voda za pilo. ¹³ Vidjet ćeš onda kakvi ćemo biti mi a kakvi dječaci koji jedu od kraljevih jela, pa učini sa svojim slugama po onome što budeš vidio." ¹⁴ On pristade i stavi ih na kušnju deset dana. ¹⁵ A nakon deset dana oni bijahu ljepši i ugojeniji nego svi dječaci koji jeđahu od kraljevih jela.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Rozkázal také král Ašpenazovi, správci dvořanů svých, aby přivedl z synů Izraelských, z semene královského a z knížat, ⁴ Mládence, na nichž by nebylo žádné poškvrny, a krásného oblíčeje, a vtipné ke vší moudrosti, a schopné k umění i k nabývání jeho, a v kterýchž by byla síla, aby stávali na palácu královském, a učili se liternímu umění a jazyku Kaldejskému. ⁵ I nařídil jim král odměřený pokrm na každý den z stolu královského, i vína, kteréž on sám pil, a aby je tak choval za tři léta, a po dokonání jich aby stávali před králem. ⁶ Byli pak mezi nimi z synů Juda: Daniel, Chananiáš, Mizael a Azariáš. ⁷ I dal jim správce dvořanů jména. Nazval Daniele Baltazarem, Chananiáše pak Sidrachem, a Mizaele Mizachem, a Azariáše Abdenágem. ⁸ Ale Daniel uložil v srdci svém, aby se nepoškvrňoval pokrmem z stolu královského, a vínem, kteréž král pil. Pročež hledal toho u správce nad dvořany, aby se nemusil poškvrňovati. ⁹ I způsobil Bůh Danielovi milost a lásku u správce nad dvořany. ¹⁰ A řekl správce nad dvořany Danielovi: Já se bojím pána svého krále, kterýž vyměřil pokrm váš a nápoj váš, tak že uzřel-li by, že tváře vaše opadlejší jsou, nežli mládenců těch, kteříž podobně jako i vy chování býti mají, způsobíte mi to u krále, že přijdu o hrdlo. ¹¹ I řekl Daniel služebníku, kteréhož ustanovil správce dvořanů nad Danielem, Chananiášem, Mizaelem a Azariášem: ¹² Zkus, prosím, služebníků svých za deset dní, a nechť se nám vaření dává, kteréž bychom jedli, a voda, kterouž bychom pili. ¹³ A potom nechť se spatří před tebou tváře naše a tváře mládenců, kteříž jídají pokrm z stolu královského, a jakž uhlédáš, učiň s služebníky svými. ¹⁴ I uposlechl jich v té věci, a zkusil jich za deset dní. ¹⁵ Po skonání pak desíti dnů spatříno jest, že tváře jejich byly krásnější, a byli tlustší na těle než všickni mládenci, kteříž jídali pokrm z stolu královského.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Ja kuningas sanoi Aspenaalle, ylimmäiselle kamaripalveliallensa, että hänen piti Israelin lapsista kuninkaallisesta suvusta ja berrain lapsista valitseman ⁴ Virheettömiä poikia, kauniita, toimellisia, viisaita, ymmärtäväisiä, taitavia, jotka soveliaat olisivat palvelemaan kuninkaan huoneessa, ja piti opettaman heille Kaldean kirjoituksia ja kieltä. ⁵ Niille toimitti kuningas, mitä heille joka päivä annettaman piti kuninkaan ruasta ja sitä viinaa, jota hän itse joi; että he niin kolme vuotta kasvatettaman ja sitte kuninkaan edessä palveleman piti, ⁶ Joiden seassa olivat Juudan lapsista: Daniel, Hanania, Misael ja Asaria. ⁷ Ja ylimmäinen kamaripalvelia antoi heille nimet, ja nimitti Danielin Belsatsariksi ja Hananian Sadrakiksi, ja Misaelin Mesakiksi, ja Asarian Abednegoksi. ⁸ Mutta Daniel aikoi sydämessänsä, ettei hän kuninkaan rualla eikä sillä viinalla, jota hän itse joi, itseänsä saastuttaisi; ja rukoili ylimmäistä kamaripalveliaa, ettei hän itseänsä saastuttaisi. ⁹ Ja Jumala antoi Danielille, että ylimmäinen kamaripalvelia oli hänelle ystävällinen ja armollinen. ¹⁰ Ja ylimmäinen kamaripalvelia sanoi Danielille: minä pelkään minun herraani, kuningasta, joka teille teidän ruokanne ja juomanne toimittanut on; jos hän näkis teidän kasvonne laihemmiksi kuin muiden teidän ikäistenne, niin te minun sitte saatte kuninkaan tykönä pois hengeltäni. ¹¹ Niin sanoi Daniel Meltsarille. jolle ylimmäinen kamaripalvelia Danielista, Hananiasta, Misaelista ja Asariasta käskyn antanut oli: ¹² Koettele palvelioitas kymmenen päivää, ja annettakaan meille puuroa syödäksemme ja vettä juodaksemme. ¹³ Ja anna niin meidän muotomme ja niiden poikain muoto, jotka kuninkaan ruasta syövät, katsottaa; ja niinkuin sinä sitte näet, tee niin palvelioilles. ¹⁴ Ja hän totteli heitä siinä, ja koetteli heitä kymmenen päivää. ¹⁵ Ja kymmenen päivän perästä olivat he kauniimmat ja lihavammat ruumiilta kuin kaikki nuorukaiset, jotka kuninkaan ruasta söivät.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Ja kuningas käski ylimmäisen hoviherransa Aspenaan tuoda israelilaisia poikia, jotka olivat kuninkaallista sukua tai ylimysperheistä, ⁴ nuorukaisia, joissa ei ollut mitään virheä ja jotka olivat kaunismuotoisia, jotka kykenivät käsittämään kaikkea viisautta, olivat terävä-älyisiä ja hyväoppisia ja jotka olisivat kelvollisia palvelemaan kuninkaan hovissa; heille hänen tuli opettaa kaldealaisten kirjoitusta ja kieltä. ⁵ Ja kuningas määräsi heille jokapäiväiseksi ravinnoksi ruokaa kuninkaan pöydästä ja viiniä, jota hän itse joi. Niin heitä oli kasvatettava kolme vuotta, ja niiden kuluttua heidän tuli astua kuninkaan palvelukseen. ⁶ Heidän joukossaan olivat juutalaiset pojat Daniel, Hananja, Miisael ja Asarja. ⁷ Ja hoviherrain päällikkö pani heille nimet: Danielille hän pani nimen Beltsassar, Hananjalle nimen Sadrak, Miisaelille nimen Meesak ja Asarjalle nimen Abednego. ⁸ Mutta Daniel päätti lujasti olla saastuttamatta itseään kuninkaan pöydän ruualla ja viinillä, jota tämä joi, ja anoi hoviherrain päälliköltä, ettei hänen tarvitsisi itseään saastuttaa. ⁹ Ja Jumala salli Danielin saada suosion ja armon hoviherrain päällikön edessä. ¹⁰ Mutta hoviherrain päällikkö sanoi Danielille: "Minä pelkään, että jos herrani, kuningas, joka on määrännyt teidän ruokanne ja juomanne, huomaa teidän kasvonne laihemmiksi kuin muiden ikäistenne nuorukaisten, niin te saatatte minun pääni vaaraan kuninkaan edessä". ¹¹ Silloin Daniel sanoi katsastajalle, jonka hoviherrain päällikkö oli määrännyt pitämään silmällä Danielia, Hananjaa, Miisaelia ja Asarjaa: ¹² "Koettele palvelijoitasi kymmenen päivää, ja annettakoon meille vihannesruokaa syödäksemme ja vettä juodaksemme. ¹³ Sitten tarkastettakoon sinun edessäsi, miltä me näytämme ja miltä näyttävät ne nuorukaiset, jotka syövät kuninkaan pöydän ruokaa; ja tee sitten palvelijoillesi sen mukaan, mitä silloin havaitset." ¹⁴ Ja hän kuuli heitä tässä asiassa ja koetteli heitä kymmenen päivää. ¹⁵ Mutta kymmenen päivän kuluttua havaittiin heidät muodoltaan kauniimmiksi ja ruumiiltaan lihavammiksi kuin yksikään niistä nuorukaisista, jotka söivät kuninkaan pöydän ruokaa.

Daniel bertekad untuk tidak menajiskan dirinya dengan makanan dan minuman anggur dari istana raja, sebab itu ia minta kepada Aspenas supaya boleh mendapat makanan lain. ⁹ (1:8) ¹⁰ Karena takut kepada raja, Aspenas berkata, "Raja sendiri telah menetapkan makanan dan minumanmu, jadi jika menurut pendapatnya engkau kelihatan kurang sehat daripada pemuda-pemuda yang lain, pasti aku akan dibunuhnya." ¹¹ Kemudian Daniel merundingkan hal itu dengan pengawal yang ditugaskan oleh Aspenas untuk mengurus Daniel dan ketiga kawannya. Kata Daniel, ¹² "Ujilah kami selama sepuluh hari; berilah kami hanya sayuran dan air untuk makanan dan minuman. ¹³ Setelah sepuluh hari, bandingkanlah rupa kami dengan rupa pemuda-pemuda yang makan makanan yang ditetapkan oleh raja, lalu ambillah keputusan berdasarkan pengamatanmu itu." ¹⁴ Pengawal itu setuju dan mengadakan percobaan itu selama sepuluh hari. ¹⁵ Setelah waktu itu habis, mereka kelihatan lebih sehat dan kuat daripada semua pemuda yang telah mendapat makanan dari meja raja.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ E il re disse a Ashpenaz, capo de’ suoi eunuchi, di menargli alcuni de’ figliuoli d’Israele di stirpe reale e di famiglie nobili, ⁴ giovani senza difetti fisici, belli d’aspetto, dotati d’ogni sorta di talenti, istruiti e intelligenti, tali che avessero attitudine a stare nel palazzo del re; e d’insegnar loro la letteratura e la lingua de’ Caldei. ⁵ Il re assegnò loro una porzione giornaliera delle vivande della mensa reale, e del vino ch’egli beveva; e disse di mantenerli per tre anni, dopo i quali sarebbero passati al servizio del re. ⁶ Or fra questi c’erano, di tra i figliuoli di Giuda, Daniele, Hanania, Mishael e Azaria; ⁷ e il capo degli eunuchi diede loro altri nomi: a Daniele pose nome Beltsatsar; ad Hanania, Shadrac; a Mishael, Meshac, e ad Azaria, Abed-nego. ⁸ E Daniele prese in cuor suo la risoluzione di non contaminarsi con le vivande del re e col vino che il re beveva; e chiese al capo degli eunuchi di non obbligarlo a contaminarsi; ⁹ e Dio fece trovare a Daniele grazia e compassione presso il capo degli eunuchi. ¹⁰ E il capo degli eunuchi disse a Daniele: "Io temo il re, mio signore, il quale ha fissato il vostro cibo e le vostre bevande; e perché vedrebb’egli il vostro volto più triste di quello dei giovani della vostra medesima età? Voi mettereste in pericolo la mia testa presso il re". ¹¹ Allora Daniele disse al maggiordomo, al quale il capo degli eunuchi aveva affidato la cura di Daniele, di Hanania, di Mishael e d’Azaria: ¹² "Ti prego, fa’ coi tuoi servi una prova di dieci giorni, e ci siano dati de’ legumi per mangiare, e dell’acqua per bere; ¹³ poi ti si faccia vedere l’aspetto nostro e l’aspetto de’ giovani che mangiano le vivande del re; e secondo quel che vedrai, ti regolerai coi tuoi servi". ¹⁴ Quegli accordò loro quanto domandavano, e li mise alla prova per dieci giorni. ¹⁵ E alla fine de’ dieci giorni, essi avevano migliore aspetto ed erano più grassi di tutti i giovani che aveano mangiato le vivande del re.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Karalius įsakė Ašpenazui, savo rūmų eunuchų viršininkui, parinkti keletą izraelitų iš karaliaus giminės ir kilmingųjų tarpo: ⁴ jaunuolius be jokios ydos, gražius, galinčius mokytis visokios išminties, suprantančius, protingus ir sugebančius tarnauti karaliaus rūmuose, ir juos išmokyti chaldėjų raštų ir kalbos. ⁵ Karalius paskyrė jiems kasdienį maisto davinį iš karaliaus valgių ir vyno, kurį jis pats gėrė. Juos mokė trejus metus, kad jie galėtų būti prie karaliaus tam laikui pasibaigus. ⁶ Tarp jų buvo iš Judo vaikų Danielius, Hananija, Mišaelis ir Azarija. ⁷ Eunuchų viršininkas davė jiems naujus vardus: DanieliuiBeltšacaro, HananijaiŠadracho, MišaeliuiMešacho ir AzarijaiAbed Nego. ⁸ Bet Danielius nusprendė savo širdyje nesusitepti karaliaus valgiais nė jo geriamu vynu. Jis prašė eunuchų viršininko, kad leistų jam nesusitepti. ⁹ Dievas suteikė Danieliui malonę ir palankumą eunuchų viršininko akyse. ¹⁰ Eunuchų viršininkas tarė Danieliui: “Aš bijau savo valdovo karaliaus, kuris jums paskyrė maistą ir gėrimą. Jei jis pamatys jus, atrodančius blogiau negu kiti jūsų amžiaus jaunuoliai, mano galva dėl jūsų atsidurs pavojuje”. ¹¹ Tada Danielius sakė prievaizdui, kurį eunuchų viršininkas buvo paskyręs Danieliui, Hananijai, Mišaeliui ir Azarijai prižiūrėti: ¹² “Bandyk savo tarnus dešimt dienų, duodamas mums daržovių valgyti ir vandens gerti. ¹³ Po to palygink mūsų veidus su jaunuolių, valgiusių karaliaus valgius. Ir kaip tau atrodys, taip daryk su savo tarnais”. ¹⁴ Jis sutiko patenkinti šitą prašymą ir bandė juos dešimt dienų. ¹⁵ Dešimčiai dienų praėjus, jų veidai atrodė gražesni ir jų kūnai buvo sveikesni negu visų jaunuolių, valgiusių karaliaus valgius.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ I rozkazał król Aspenasowi przełożonemu nad komornikami swymi, aby przyprowadził z synów Izraelskich, i z nasienia królewskiego i z książąt, ⁴ Młodzieńców, na którychby nie było żadnej zmazy, a pięknych na wejrzeniu i dowcipnych do wszelakiej mądrości, i sposobnych do umiejętności, i dostąpienia jej, i którzyby byli sposobni, aby stali w pałacu królewskim, a uczyli się pisma i języka chaldejskiego. ⁵ I postanowił im król obrok na każdy dzień z potraw swoich królewskich i z wina, które on sam pijał, a żeby ich tak chował przez trzy lata, a po wyjściu ich żeby stawali przed obliczem królewskiem. ⁶ A byli między nimi z synów Judzkich: Danijel, Ananijasz, Misael, i Azaryjasz. ⁷ I dał im przełożony nad komornikami imiona, a Danijela nazwał Baltazarem, a Ananijasza Sadrachem, a Misaela Mesachem, a Azaryjasza Abednegiem. ⁸ Ale Danijel postanowił w sercu swojem, żeby się nie mazał pokarmem potraw królewskich, ani winem, które król pijał; przetoż tego szukał u przełożonego nad komornikami, żeby się nie zmazał. ⁹ I zjednał Bóg Danijelowi łaskę i miłość przed obliczem przełożonego nad komornikami. ¹⁰ I rzekł przełożony nad komornikami do Danijela: Ja się boję króla, pana mego, który wam postanowił pokarm wasz i napój wasz: który jeźliby obaczył, że twarzy wasze chudsze są niż innych młodzieńców, którzy jednako z wami mają być wychowani, tedy mię przyprawicie o gardło u króla. ¹¹ I rzekł Danijel do sługi, którego był postanowił przełożony nad komornikami nad Danijelem, Ananijaszem, Misaelem i Azaryjaszem: ¹² Doświadcz proszę sług twoich przez dziesięć dni, a niech nam dadzą jarzyn, którebyśmy jedli, i wody, którąbyśmy pili. ¹³ Potem przypatrzysz się twarzom naszym, i twarzom innych młodzieńców, którzy jadają pokarm z potraw królewskich, a jako obaczysz, tak uczynisz z sługami twymi. ¹⁴ I usłuchał ich w tem, a doświadczył ich przez dziesięć dni. ¹⁵ A po wyjściu dziesięciu dni okazało się, że twarze ich były piękniejsze, i byli tłustsi na ciele, niż wszyscy młodzieńcy, którzy jadali pokarm z potraw królewskich.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Então disse o rei a Aspenaz, chefe dos seus eunucos que trouxesse alguns dos filhos de Israel, dentre a linhagem real e dos nobres, ⁴ jovens em quem não houvesse defeito algum, de bela aparência, dotados de sabedoria, inteligência e instrução, e que tivessem capacidade para assistirem no palácio do rei; e que lhes ensinasse as letras e a língua dos caldeus. ⁵ E o rei lhes determinou a porção diária das iguarias do rei, e do vinho que ele bebia, e que assim fossem alimentados por três anos; para que no fim destes pudessem estar diante do rei. ⁶ Ora, entre eles se achavam, dos filhos de Judá, Daniel, Hananias, Misael e Azarias. ⁷ Mas o chefe dos eunucos lhes pôs outros nomes, a saber: a Daniel, o de Beltechaçar; a Hananias, o de Chadrac; a Misael, o de Mechac; e a Azarias, o de Abednego. ⁸ Daniel, porém, propôs no seu coração não se contaminar com a porção das iguarias do rei, nem com o vinho que ele bebia; portanto pediu ao chefe dos eunucos que lhe concedesse não se contaminar. ⁹ Ora, Deus fez com que Daniel achasse graça e misericórdia diante do chefe dos eunucos. ¹⁰ E disse o chefe dos eunucos a Daniel: Tenho medo do meu senhor, o rei, que determinou a vossa comida e a vossa bebida; pois veria ele os vossos rostos mais abatidos do que os dos outros jovens da vossa idade? Assim poríeis em perigo a minha cabeça para com o rei. ¹¹ Então disse Daniel ao despenseiro a quem o chefe dos eunucos havia posto sobre Daniel, Hananias, Misael e Azarias: ¹² Experimenta, peço-te, os teus servos dez dias; e que se nos dêem legumes a comer e água a beber. ¹³ Então se examine na tua presença o nosso semblante e o dos jovens que comem das iguarias reais; e conforme vires procederás para com os teus servos. ¹⁴ Assim ele lhes atendeu o pedido, e os experimentou dez dias. ¹⁵ E, ao fim dos dez dias, apareceram os seus semblantes melhores, e eles estavam mais gordos do que todos os jovens que comiam das iguarias reais.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Og kongen sa til Aspenas, sin øverste hoffmann, at han skulde ta med sig nogen av Israels barn, både av kongeætten og av de fornemste, ⁴ unge gutter som var uten lyte og fagre å se til, og med evne til å tilegne sig all slags visdom og vinne kunnskap og bli kyndige i videnskap, og som var dyktige til å tjene i kongens palass, og at de skulde oplæres i kaldeernes skrift og tungemål. ⁵ Og kongen fastsatte hvad de hver dag skulde ha av kongens kostelige mat og av den vin han drakk, og bød at de skulde opdras i tre år, og når disse år var omme, skulde de bli kongens tjenere. ⁶ Blandt dem var av Judas barn Daniel, Hananja, Misael og Asarja. ⁷ Og den øverste hoffmann gav dem nye navn: Daniel kalte han Beltsasar og Hananja Sadrak og Misael Mesak og Asarja Abed-Nego. ⁸ Men Daniel satte sig fore at han ikke vilde gjøre sig uren med kongens kostelige mat og med den vin han drakk, og han bad den øverste hoffmann om at han måtte være fri for således å gjøre sig uren. ⁹ Og Gud lot Daniel finne velvilje og barmhjertighet hos den øverste hoffmann. ¹⁰ Og den øverste hoffmann sa til Daniel: Jeg er redd for at min herre kongen, som har fastsatt hvad I skal ete og drikke, vil synes at eders ansikter ser dårligere ut enn de gutters som er på eders alder, og at I således skal føre skyld over mitt hode hos kongen. ¹¹ Da sa Daniel til kjellermesteren, som den øverste hoffmann hadde satt over Daniel, Hananja, Misael og Asarja: ¹² Kjære, prøv det med dine tjenere i ti dager og la dem gi oss grønnsaker å ete og vann å drikke, ¹³ så kan du siden ta vårt utseende i øiesyn, og likeså de gutters utseende som eter kongens kostelige mat, og gjør så med dine tjenere efter det du da ser! ¹⁴ Og han gjorde som de ønsket, og prøvde det med dem i ti dager. ¹⁵ Og da de ti dager var omme, viste det sig at de var fagrere å se til og i bedre hold enn alle de gutter som hadde ett av kongens kostelige mat.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Împăratul a dat poruncă lui Aşpenaz, căpetenia famenilor săi dregători, să -i aducă vreo cîţiva din copiii lui Israel de neam împărătesc şi de viţă boierească, ⁴ nişte tineri fără vreun cusur trupesc, frumoşi la chip, înzestraţi cu înţelepciune în orice ramură a ştiinţei, cu minte ageră şi pricepere, în stare să slujească în casa împăratului, şi pe cari să -i înveţe scrierea şi limba Haldeilor. ⁵ Împăratul le -a rînduit pe fiecare zi o parte din bucatele dela masa lui şi din vinul de care bea el, vrînd să -i crească timp de trei ani, după cari aveau să fie în slujba împăratului. ⁶ Printre ei erau, dintre copiii lui Iuda: Daniel, Hanania, Mişael şi Azaria. ⁷ Căpetenia famenilor dregători le -a pus însă alte nume, şi anume: lui Daniel i -a pus numele Beltşaţar, lui Hanania Şadrac, lui Mişael Meşac, şi lui Azaria Abed-Nego. ⁸ Daniel s'a hotărît să nu se spurce cu bucatele alese ale împăratului şi cu vinul pe care -l bea împăratul, şi a rugat pe căpetenia famenilor dregători să nu -l silească să se spurce. ⁹ Dumnezeu a făcut ca Daniel să capete bunăvoinţă şi trecere înaintea căpeteniei famenilor dregători. ¹⁰ Căpetenia famenilor a zis lui Daniel:,,Mă tem numai de domnul meu împăratul, care a hotărît ce trebuie să mîncaţi şi să beţi, ca nu cumva să vadă feţele voastre mai triste decît ale celorlalţi tineri de vîrsta voastră, şi să-mi puneţi astfel capul în primejdie înaintea împăratului``. ¹¹ Atunci Daniel a zis îngrijitorului, căruia îi încredinţase căpetenia famenilor privegherea asupra lui Daniel, Hanania, Mişael şi Azaria: ¹² ,,Încearcă pe robii tăi zece zile, şi să ni se dea de mîncat zarzavaturi şi apă de băut; ¹³ să te uiţi apoi la faţa noastră şi la a celorlalţi tineri cari mănîncă din bucatele împăratului, şi să faci cu robii tăi după cele ce vei vedea!`` ¹⁴ El i -a ascultat în privinţa aceasta, şi i -a încercat zece zile. ¹⁵ După cele zece zile, ei erau mai bine la faţă şi mai graşi decît toţi tinerii cari mîncau din bucatele împăratului.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ І сказав цар до Ашпеназа, начальника його евнухів, щоб привести з Ізраїлевих синів, і з царського, і з шляхетського роду, ⁴ юнаків, що нема в них жодної вади, і вони вродливого вигляду та розумні в усякій мудрості, і здібні до знання, і розуміють науку, і щоб у них була моторність служити в царському палаці, і щоб навчати їх книг та мови халдеїв. ⁵ І призначив їм цар щоденну поживу, з царської їжі та з вина, що сам його пив, а на їхнє виховання три роки, а по закінченні їх стануть вони перед царським обличчям. ⁶ І були серед них з Юдиних синів Даниїл, Ананія, Мисаїл та Азарія. ⁷ А начальник евнухів дав їм інші імена, і дав Даниїлові ім'я Валтасар, а Ананії Шадрах, а Мисаїлові Мешах, а Азарії Авед-Неґо. ⁸ І поклав Даниїл собі на серце, що він не оскверниться їжею царя та питвом, що той сам його пив, і просив від начальника евнухів, щоб не осквернитися. ⁹ І дав Бог Даниїлові ласку та милість перед начальником евнухів. ¹⁰ І сказав начальник евнухів до Даниїла: Боюсь я свого пана царя, бо він визначив вашу їжу та ваше питво. Бо коли б він побачив ваше обличчя худішим, ніж у тих юнаків, що вашого віку, то ви зробите мою голову винуватою перед царем. ¹¹ І сказав Даниїл до старшого, якого начальник евнухів призначив над Даниїлом, Ананією, Мисаїлом та Азарією: ¹² Випробуй но своїх рабів десять день, і нехай дають нам із ярини, і ми будемо їсти, та воду і будемо пити. ¹³ І нехай з'являться перед тобою наші обличчя та обличчя тих юнаків, що їдять царську їжу, і згідно з тим, що побачиш, зроби зо своїми рабами. ¹⁴ І той послухався їх у цьому, і випробовував їх десять день. ¹⁵ А по десяти днях їхній вигляд виявився кращим, і вони були здоровіші на тілі, аніж усі ті юнаки, що їли царську їжу.
