Daniel 1

KJV

1  In the third⁷⁹⁶⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ of the reign⁴⁴³⁸ of Jehoiakim³⁰⁷⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ came⁹³⁵ Nebuchadnezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon⁸⁹⁴ unto Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and besieged^{6696 5921} it.

2  And the Lord¹³⁶ gave^{5414 853} Jehoiakim³⁰⁷⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ into his hand,³⁰²⁷ with part^{4480 7117} of the vessels³⁶²⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God:⁴³⁰ which he carried into⁹³⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Shinar⁸¹⁵² to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of his god;⁴³⁰ and he brought⁹³⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ into the treasure²¹⁴ house¹⁰⁰⁴ of his god.⁴³⁰

3  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ spoke⁵⁵⁹ unto Ashpenaz⁸²⁸ the master⁷²²⁷ of his eunuchs,⁵⁶³¹ that he should bring⁹³⁵ certain of the children^{4480 1121} of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and of the king's seed,^{4480 2233 4410} and of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the princes;⁶⁵⁷⁹

4  Children³²⁰⁶ in whom⁸³⁴ was no^{369 3605} blemish,³⁹⁷¹ but well favored,^{2896 4758} and skillful⁷⁹¹⁹ in all³⁶⁰⁵ wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ and cunning³⁰⁴⁵ in knowledge,¹⁸⁴⁷ and understanding⁹⁹⁵ science,⁴⁰⁹³ and such⁸³⁴ as had ability³⁵⁸¹ in them to stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the king's⁴⁴²⁸ palace,¹⁹⁶⁴ and whom they might teach³⁹²⁵ the learning⁵⁶¹² and the tongue³⁹⁵⁶ of the Chaldeans.³⁷⁷⁸

5  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ appointed⁴⁴⁸⁷ them a daily^{3117 3117} provision¹⁶⁹⁷ of the king's meat,^{4480 6598 4428} and of the wine^{4480 3196} which he drank:⁴⁹⁶⁰ so nourishing¹⁴³¹ them three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years,⁸¹⁴¹ that at the end^{4480 7117} thereof they might stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the king.⁴⁴²⁸

6  Now among these were¹⁹⁶¹ of the children^{4480 1121} of Judah,³⁰⁶³ Daniel,¹⁸⁴⁰ Hananiah,²⁶⁰⁸ Mishael,⁴³³² and Azariah:⁵⁸³⁸

7  Unto whom the prince⁸²⁶⁹ of the eunuchs⁵⁶³¹ gave⁷⁷⁶⁰ names:⁸⁰³⁴ for he gave⁷⁷⁶⁰ unto Daniel¹⁸⁴⁰ the name of Belteshazzar;¹⁰⁹⁵ and to Hananiah,²⁶⁰⁸ of Shadrach;⁷⁷¹⁴ and to Mishael,⁴³³² of Meshach;⁴³³⁵ and to Azariah,⁵⁸³⁸ of Abed-nego.⁵⁶⁶⁴

8  But Daniel¹⁸⁴⁰ purposed⁷⁷⁶⁰ in⁵⁹²¹ his heart³⁸²⁰ that⁸³⁴ he would not³⁸⁰⁸ defile himself¹³⁵¹ with the portion of the king's meat,^{6598 4428} nor with the wine³¹⁹⁶ which he drank:⁴⁹⁶⁰ therefore he requested¹²⁴⁵ of the prince^{4480 8269} of the eunuchs⁵⁶³¹ that⁸³⁴ he might not³⁸⁰⁸ defile himself.¹³⁵¹

9  Now God⁴³⁰ had brought^{5414 853} Daniel¹⁸⁴⁰ into favor²⁶¹⁷ and tender love⁷³⁵⁶ with⁶⁴⁴⁰ the prince⁸²⁶⁹ of the eunuchs.⁵⁶³¹

10  And the prince⁸²⁶⁹ of the eunuchs⁵⁶³¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Daniel,¹⁸⁴⁰ I⁵⁸⁹ fear^{3372 853} my lord¹¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ who⁸³⁴ hath appointed^{4487 853} your meat³⁹⁷⁸ and your drink:⁴⁹⁶⁰ for⁸³⁴ why⁴¹⁰⁰ should he see^{7200 853} your faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ worse liking²¹⁹⁶ than⁴⁴⁸⁰ the children³²⁰⁶ which⁸³⁴ are of your sort?¹⁵²⁴ then shall ye make me endanger^{2325 853} my head⁷²¹⁸ to the king.⁴⁴²⁸

11  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Daniel¹⁸⁴⁰ to⁴¹³ Melzar,⁴⁴⁵³ whom⁸³⁴ the prince⁸²⁶⁹ of the eunuchs⁵⁶³¹ had set⁴⁴⁸⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Daniel,¹⁸⁴⁰ Hananiah,²⁶⁰⁸ Mishael,⁴³³² and Azariah,⁵⁸³⁸

12  Prove^{5254 853} thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ I beseech thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ ten⁶²³⁵ days;³¹¹⁷ and let them give⁵⁴¹⁴ us pulse²²³⁵ to eat,³⁹⁸ and water⁴³²⁵ to drink.⁸³⁵⁴

13  Then let our countenances⁴⁷⁵⁸ be looked upon⁷²⁰⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, and the countenance⁴⁷⁵⁸ of the children³²⁰⁶ that eat^{398 853} of the portion of the king's meat:^{6598 4428} and as⁸³⁴ thou seest,⁷²⁰⁰ deal⁶²¹³ with⁵⁹⁷³ thy servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰

14  So he consented⁸⁰⁸⁵ to them in this²⁰⁸⁸ matter,¹⁶⁹⁷ and proved⁵²⁵⁴ them ten⁶²³⁵ days.³¹¹⁷

15  And at the end^{4480 7117} of ten⁶²³⁵ days³¹¹⁷ their countenances⁴⁷⁵⁸ appeared⁷²⁰⁰ fairer²⁸⁹⁶ and fatter¹²⁷⁷ in flesh¹³²⁰ than⁴⁴⁸⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ the children³²⁰⁶ which did eat^{398 853} the portion of the king's meat.^{6598 4428}

16  Thus Melzar⁴⁴⁵³ took away^{5375 853} the portion of their meat,⁶⁵⁹⁸ and the wine³¹⁹⁶ that they should drink;⁴⁹⁶⁰ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them pulse.²²³⁵

17  As for these⁴²⁸ four⁷⁰² children,³²⁰⁶ God⁴³⁰ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them knowledge⁴⁰⁹³ and skill⁷⁹¹⁹ in all³⁶⁰⁵ learning⁵⁶¹² and wisdom:²⁴⁵¹ and Daniel¹⁸⁴⁰ had understanding⁹⁹⁵ in all³⁶⁰⁵ visions²³⁷⁷ and dreams.²⁴⁷²

18  Now at the end^{4480 7117} of the days³¹¹⁷ that⁸³⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ had said⁵⁵⁹ he should bring them in,⁹³⁵ then the prince⁸²⁶⁹ of the eunuchs⁵⁶³¹ brought them in⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Nebuchadnezzar.⁵⁰¹⁹

19  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁸⁵⁴ them; and among them all^{4480 3605} was found⁴⁶⁷² none³⁸⁰⁸ like Daniel,¹⁸⁴⁰ Hananiah,²⁶⁰⁸ Mishael,⁴³³² and Azariah:⁵⁸³⁸ therefore stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ they before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the king.⁴⁴²⁸

20  And in all³⁶⁰⁵ matters¹⁶⁹⁷ of wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and understanding,⁹⁹⁸ that⁸³⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ inquired¹²⁴⁵ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them, he found⁴⁶⁷² them ten⁶²³⁵ times³⁰²⁷ better than⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the magicians²⁷⁴⁸ and astrologers⁸²⁵ that⁸³⁴ were in all³⁶⁰⁵ his realm.⁴⁴³⁸

21  And Daniel¹⁸⁴⁰ continued¹⁹⁶¹ even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the first²⁵⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Cyrus.³⁵⁶⁶

1 ἐπὶ βασιλέως Ιωακιμ τῆς Ιουδαίας ἔτους τρίτου παραγενόμενος Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Ιερουσαλημ ἐπολιόρκει αὐτήν

2 καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτὴν κύριος εἰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ Ιωακιμ τὸν βασιλέα τῆς Ιουδαίας καὶ μέρος τι τῶν ἱερῶν σκευῶν τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἀπήνεγκεν αὐτὰ εἰς Βαβυλῶνα καὶ ἀπηρείσατο αὐτὰ ἐν τῷ εἰδωλίῳ αὐτοῦ

3 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Αβιεσδρι τῷ ἑαυτοῦ ἀρχιευνούχῳ ἀγαγεῖν αὐτῷ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν μεγιστάνων τοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ ἐκ τοῦ βασιλικοῦ γένους καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἐπιλέκτων

4 νεανίσκους ἀμώμους καὶ εὐειδεῖς καὶ ἐπιστήμονας ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ καὶ γραμματικοὺς καὶ συνετοὺς καὶ σοφοὺς καὶ ἰσχύοντας ὥστε εἶναι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ διδάξαι αὐτοὺς γράμματα καὶ διάλεκτον Χαλδαϊκὴν

5 καὶ δίδοσθαι αὐτοῖς ἔκθεσιν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καθ᾽ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς βασιλικῆς τραπέζης καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴνου οὗ πίνει ὁ βασιλεύς καὶ ἐκπαιδεῦσαι αὐτοὺς ἔτη τρία καὶ ἐκ τούτων στῆσαι ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ βασιλέως

6 καὶ ἦσαν ἐκ τοῦ γένους τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ τῶν ἀπὸ τῆς Ιουδαίας Δανιηλ Ανανιας Μισαηλ Αζαριας

7 καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ἀρχιευνοῦχος ὀνόματα τῷ μὲν Δανιηλ Βαλτασαρ τῷ δὲ Ανανια Σεδραχ καὶ τῷ Μισαηλ Μισαχ καὶ τῷ Αζαρια Αβδεναγω

8 καὶ ἐνεθυμήθη Δανιηλ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὅπως μὴ ἀλισγηθῇ ἐν τῷ δείπνῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐν ᾧ πίνει οἴνῳ καὶ ἠξίωσε τὸν ἀρχιευνοῦχον ἵνα μὴ συμμολυνθῇ

9 καὶ ἔδωκε κύριος τῷ Δανιηλ τιμὴν καὶ χάριν ἐναντίον τοῦ ἀρχιευνούχου

10 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀρχιευνοῦχος τῷ Δανιηλ ἀγωνιῶ τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα τὸν ἐκτάξαντα τὴν βρῶσιν ὑμῶν καὶ τὴν πόσιν ὑμῶν ἵνα μὴ ἴδῃ τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν διατετραμμένα καὶ ἀσθενῆ παρὰ τοὺς συντρεφομένους ὑμῖν νεανίας τῶν ἀλλογενῶν καὶ κινδυνεύσω τῷ ἰδίῳ τραχήλῳ

11 καὶ εἶπεν Δανιηλ Αβιεσδρι τῷ ἀναδειχθέντι ἀρχιευνούχῳ ἐπὶ τὸν Δανιηλ Ανανιαν Μισαηλ Αζαριαν

12 πείρασον δὴ τοὺς παῖδάς σου ἐφ᾽ ἡμέρας δέκα καὶ δοθήτω ἡμῖν ἀπὸ τῶν ὀσπρίων τῆς γῆς ὥστε κάπτειν καὶ ὑδροποτεῖν

13 καὶ ἐὰν φανῇ ἡ ὄψις ἡμῶν διατετραμμένη παρὰ τοὺς ἄλλους νεανίσκους τοὺς ἐσθίοντας ἀπὸ τοῦ βασιλικοῦ δείπνου καθὼς ἐὰν θέλῃς οὕτω χρῆσαι τοῖς παισί σου

14 καὶ ἐχρήσατο αὐτοῖς τὸν τρόπον τοῦτον καὶ ἐπείρασεν αὐτοὺς ἡμέρας δέκα

15 μετὰ δὲ τὰς δέκα ἡμέρας ἐφάνη ἡ ὄψις αὐτῶν καλὴ καὶ ἡ ἕξις τοῦ σώματος κρείσσων τῶν ἄλλων νεανίσκων τῶν ἐσθιόντων τὸ βασιλικὸν δεῖπνον

16 καὶ ἦν Αβιεσδρι ἀναιρούμενος τὸ δεῖπνον αὐτῶν καὶ τὸν οἶνον αὐτῶν καὶ ἀντεδίδου αὐτοῖς ἀπὸ τῶν ὀσπρίων

17 καὶ τοῖς νεανίσκοις ἔδωκεν ὁ κύριος ἐπιστήμην καὶ σύνεσιν καὶ φρόνησιν ἐν πάσῃ γραμματικῇ τέχνῃ καὶ τῷ Δανιηλ ἔδωκε σύνεσιν ἐν παντὶ ῥήματι καὶ ὁράματι καὶ ἐνυπνίοις καὶ ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ

18 μετὰ δὲ τὰς ἡμέρας ταύτας ἐπέταξεν ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτούς καὶ εἰσήχθησαν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀρχιευνούχου πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ναβουχοδονοσορ

19 καὶ ὡμίλησεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεύς καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθη ἐν τοῖς σοφοῖς ὅμοιος τῷ Δανιηλ καὶ Ανανια καὶ Μισαηλ καὶ Αζαρια καὶ ἦσαν παρὰ τῷ βασιλεῖ

20 καὶ ἐν παντὶ λόγῳ καὶ συνέσει καὶ παιδείᾳ ὅσα ἐζήτησε παρ᾽ αὐτῶν ὁ βασιλεύς κατέλαβεν αὐτοὺς σοφωτέρους δεκαπλασίως ὑπὲρ τοὺς σοφιστὰς καὶ τοὺς φιλοσόφους τοὺς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐδόξασεν αὐτοὺς ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ ἀνέδειξεν αὐτοὺς σοφοὺς παρὰ πάντας τοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν πράγμασιν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ

21 καὶ ἦν Δανιηλ ἕως τοῦ πρώτου ἔτους τῆς βασιλείας Κύρου βασιλέως Περσῶν

Sep

1 ἐν ἔτει τρίτῳ τῆς βασιλείας Ιωακιμ βασιλέως Ιουδα ἦλθεν Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐπολιόρκει αὐτήν

2 καὶ ἔδωκεν κύριος ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τὸν Ιωακιμ βασιλέα Ιουδα καὶ ἀπὸ μέρους τῶν σκευῶν οἴκου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὰ εἰς γῆν Σεννααρ οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ σκεύη εἰσήνεγκεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον θησαυροῦ τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ

3 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Ασφανεζ τῷ ἀρχιευνούχῳ αὐτοῦ εἰσαγαγεῖν ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας Ισραηλ καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ σπέρματος τῆς βασιλείας καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν φορθομμιν

4 νεανίσκους οἷς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς μῶμος καὶ καλοὺς τῇ ὄψει καὶ συνιέντας ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ καὶ γιγνώσκοντας γνῶσιν καὶ διανοουμένους φρόνησιν καὶ οἷς ἐστιν ἰσχὺς ἐν αὐτοῖς ἑστάναι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ διδάξαι αὐτοὺς γράμματα καὶ γλῶσσαν Χαλδαίων

5 καὶ διέταξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ τῆς ἡμέρας καθ᾽ ἡμέραν ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ πότου αὐτοῦ καὶ θρέψαι αὐτοὺς ἔτη τρία καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα στῆναι ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως

6 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ιουδα Δανιηλ καὶ Ανανιας καὶ Μισαηλ καὶ Αζαριας

7 καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ἀρχιευνοῦχος ὀνόματα τῷ Δανιηλ Βαλτασαρ καὶ τῷ Ανανια Σεδραχ καὶ τῷ Μισαηλ Μισαχ καὶ τῷ Αζαρια Αβδεναγω

8 καὶ ἔθετο Δανιηλ ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ὡς οὐ μὴ ἀλισγηθῇ ἐν τῇ τραπέζῃ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴνῳ τοῦ πότου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἠξίωσε τὸν ἀρχιευνοῦχον ὡς οὐ μὴ ἀλισγηθῇ

9 καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν Δανιηλ εἰς ἔλεον καὶ εἰς οἰκτιρμὸν ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἀρχιευνούχου

10 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀρχιευνοῦχος τῷ Δανιηλ φοβοῦμαι ἐγὼ τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα τὸν ἐκτάξαντα τὴν βρῶσιν ὑμῶν καὶ τὴν πόσιν ὑμῶν μήποτε ἴδῃ τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν σκυθρωπὰ παρὰ τὰ παιδάρια τὰ συνήλικα ὑμῶν καὶ καταδικάσητε τὴν κεφαλήν μου τῷ βασιλεῖ

11 καὶ εἶπεν Δανιηλ πρὸς Αμελσαδ ὃν κατέστησεν ὁ ἀρχιευνοῦχος ἐπὶ Δανιηλ Ανανιαν Μισαηλ Αζαριαν

12 πείρασον δὴ τοὺς παῖδάς σου ἡμέρας δέκα καὶ δότωσαν ἡμῖν ἀπὸ τῶν σπερμάτων καὶ φαγόμεθα καὶ ὕδωρ πιόμεθα

13 καὶ ὀφθήτωσαν ἐνώπιόν σου αἱ ἰδέαι ἡμῶν καὶ αἱ ἰδέαι τῶν παιδαρίων τῶν ἐσθιόντων τὴν τράπεζαν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ καθὼς ἂν ἴδῃς ποίησον μετὰ τῶν παίδων σου

14 καὶ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπείρασεν αὐτοὺς ἡμέρας δέκα

15 καὶ μετὰ τὸ τέλος τῶν δέκα ἡμερῶν ὡράθησαν αἱ ἰδέαι αὐτῶν ἀγαθαὶ καὶ ἰσχυραὶ ταῖς σαρξὶν ὑπὲρ τὰ παιδάρια τὰ ἐσθίοντα τὴν τράπεζαν τοῦ βασιλέως

16 καὶ ἐγένετο Αμελσαδ ἀναιρούμενος τὸ δεῖπνον αὐτῶν καὶ τὸν οἶνον τοῦ πόματος αὐτῶν καὶ ἐδίδου αὐτοῖς σπέρματα

17 καὶ τὰ παιδάρια ταῦτα οἱ τέσσαρες αὐτοί ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ θεὸς σύνεσιν καὶ φρόνησιν ἐν πάσῃ γραμματικῇ καὶ σοφίᾳ καὶ Δανιηλ συνῆκεν ἐν πάσῃ ὁράσει καὶ ἐνυπνίοις

18 καὶ μετὰ τὸ τέλος τῶν ἡμερῶν ὧν εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτούς καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ὁ ἀρχιευνοῦχος ἐναντίον Ναβουχοδονοσορ

19 καὶ ἐλάλησεν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ὁ βασιλεύς καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθησαν ἐκ πάντων αὐτῶν ὅμοιοι Δανιηλ καὶ Ανανια καὶ Μισαηλ καὶ Αζαρια καὶ ἔστησαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως

20 καὶ ἐν παντὶ ῥήματι σοφίας καὶ ἐπιστήμης ὧν ἐζήτησεν παρ᾽ αὐτῶν ὁ βασιλεύς εὗρεν αὐτοὺς δεκαπλασίονας παρὰ πάντας τοὺς ἐπαοιδοὺς καὶ τοὺς μάγους τοὺς ὄντας ἐν πάσῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ

21 καὶ ἐγένετο Δανιηλ ἕως ἔτους ἑνὸς Κύρου τοῦ βασιλέως

1 Anno tertio regni Joakim regis Juda, venit Nabuchodonosor, rex Babylonis, in Jerusalem, et obsedit eam:

2 et tradidit Dominus in manu ejus Joakim, regem Juda, et partem vasorum domus Dei: et asportavit ea in terram Sennaar in domum dei sui, et vasa intulit in domum thesauri dei sui.

3 Et ait rex Asphenez præposito eunuchorum ut introduceret de filiis Israël, et de semine regio et tyrannorum,

4 pueros in quibus nulla esset macula, decoros forma, et eruditos omni sapientia, cautos scientia, et doctos disciplina, et qui possent stare in palatio regis, ut doceret eos litteras et linguam Chaldæorum.

5 Et constituit eis rex annonam per singulos dies de cibis suis, et de vino unde bibebat ipse, ut enutriti tribus annis, postea starent in conspectu regis.

6 Fuerunt ergo inter eos de filiis Juda, Daniel, Ananias, Misaël, et Azarias.

7 Et imposuit eis præpositus eunuchorum nomina: Danieli, Baltassar; Ananiæ, Sidrach; Misaëli, Misach; et Azariæ, Abdenago.

8 Proposuit autem Daniel in corde suo ne pollueretur de mensa regis, neque de vino potus ejus: et rogavit eunuchorum præpositum ne contaminaretur.

9 Dedit autem Deus Danieli gratiam et misericordiam in conspectu principis eunuchorum.

10 Et ait princeps eunuchorum ad Danielem: Timeo ego dominum meum regem, qui constituit vobis cibum et potum: qui si viderit vultus vestros macilentiores præ ceteris adolescentibus coævis vestris, condemnabitis caput meum regi.

11 Et dixit Daniel ad Malasar, quem constituerat princeps eunuchorum super Danielem, Ananiam, Misaëlem, et Azariam:

12 Tenta nos, obsecro, servos tuos, diebus decem, et dentur nobis legumina ad vescendum, et aqua ad bibendum:

13 et contemplare vultus nostros, et vultus puerorum, qui vescuntur cibo regio: et sicut videris, facies cum servis tuis.

14 Qui, audito sermone hujuscemodi, tentavit eos diebus decem.
