Daniel 1 (NET) New English Translation

1 In the third year of the reign of King Jehoiakim of Judah, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon advanced against Jerusalem and laid it under siege.
2 Now the Lord delivered King Jehoiakim of Judah into his power, along with some of the vessels of the temple of God. He brought them to the land of Babylonia to the temple of his god and put the vessels in the treasury of his god.
3 The king commanded Ashpenaz, who was in charge of his court officials, to choose some of the Israelites who were of royal and noble descent�
4 young men in whom there was no physical defect and who were handsome, well versed in all kinds of wisdom, well educated and having keen insight, and who were capable of entering the king's royal service� and to teach them the literature and language of the Babylonians.
5 So the king assigned them a daily ration from his royal delicacies and from the wine he himself drank. They were to be trained for the next three years. At the end of that time they were to enter the king's service.
6 As it turned out, among these young men were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
7 But the overseer of the court officials renamed them. He gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar, Hananiah he named Shadrach, Mishael he named Meshach, and Azariah he named Abednego.
8 But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the royal delicacies or the royal wine. He therefore asked the overseer of the court officials for permission not to defile himself.
9 Then God made the overseer of the court officials sympathetic to Daniel.
10 But he responded to Daniel, "I fear my master the king. He is the one who has decided your food and drink. What would happen if he saw that you looked malnourished in comparison to the other young men your age? If that happened, you would endanger my life with the king!"
11 Daniel then spoke to the warden whom the overseer of the court officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
12 "Please test your servants for ten days by providing us with some vegetables to eat and water to drink.
13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who are eating the royal delicacies; deal with us in light of what you see."
14 So the warden agreed to their proposal and tested them for ten days.
15 At the end of the ten days their appearance was better and their bodies were healthier than all the young men who had been eating the royal delicacies.
16 So the warden removed the delicacies and the wine from their diet and gave them a diet of vegetables instead.
17 Now as for these four young men, God endowed them with knowledge and skill in all sorts of literature and wisdom� and Daniel had insight into all kinds of visions and dreams.
18 When the time appointed by the king arrived, the overseer of the court officials brought them into Nebuchadnezzar's presence.
19 When the king spoke with them, he did not find among the entire group anyone like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, or Azariah. So they entered the king's service.
20 In every matter of wisdom and insight the king asked them about, he found them to be ten times better than any of the magicians and astrologers that were in his entire empire.
21 Now Daniel lived on until the first year of Cyrus the king.
1 In the third H7969 year H8141 of the reign H4438 of Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah H3063 came H935 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 unto Jerusalem, H3389 and besieged H6696 H5921 it.
2 And the Lord H136 gave H5414 H853 Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 of Judah H3063 into his hand, H3027 with part H4480 H7117 of the vessels H3627 of the house H1004 of God: H430 which he carried into H935 the land H776 of Shinar H8152 to the house H1004 of his god; H430 and he brought H935 the vessels H3627 into the treasure H214 house H1004 of his god. H430
3 And the king H4428 spoke H559 unto Ashpenaz H828 the master H7227 of his eunuchs, H5631 that he should bring H935 certain of the children H4480 H1121 of Israel, H3478 and of the king's seed H4480 H2233, H4410 and of H4480 the princes; H6579
4 Children H3206 in whom H834 was no H369 H3605 blemish, H3971 but well favored H2896 H4758 , and skillful H7919 in all H3605 wisdom, H2451 and cunning H3045 in knowledge, H1847 and understanding H995 science, H4093 and such H834 as had ability H3581 in them to stand H5975 in the king's H4428 palace, H1964 and whom they might teach H3925 the learning H5612 and the tongue H3956 of the Chaldeans. H3778
5 And the king H4428 appointed H4487 them a daily H3117 H3117 provision H1697 of the king's meat H4480 H6598, H4428 and of the wine H4480 H3196 which he drank: H4960 so nourishing H1431 them three H7969 years, H8141 that at the end H4480 H7117 thereof they might stand H5975 before H6440 the king. H4428
6 Now among these were H1961 of the children H4480 H1121 of Judah, H3063 Daniel, H1840 Hananiah, H2608 Mishael, H4332 and Azariah: H5838
7 Unto whom the prince H8269 of the eunuchs H5631 gave H7760 names: H8034 for he gave H7760 unto Daniel H1840 the name of Belteshazzar; H1095 and to Hananiah, H2608 of Shadrach; H7714 and to Mishael, H4332 of Meshach; H4335 and to Azariah, H5838 of Abed- H5664 nego.
8 But Daniel H1840 purposed H7760 in H5921 his heart H3820 that H834 he would not H3808 defile himself H1351 with the portion of the king's meat H6598 H4428 , nor with the wine H3196 which he drank: H4960 therefore he requested H1245 of the prince H4480 H8269 of the eunuchs H5631 that H834 he might not H3808 defile himself. H1351
9 Now God H430 had brought H5414 H853 Daniel H1840 into favor H2617 and tender love H7356 with H6440 the prince H8269 of the eunuchs. H5631
10 And the prince H8269 of the eunuchs H5631 said H559 unto Daniel, H1840 I H589 fear H3372 H853 my lord H113 the king, H4428 who H834 hath appointed H4487 H853 your meat H3978 and your drink: H4960 for H834 why H4100 should he see H7200 H853 your faces H6440 worse liking H2196 than H4480 the children H3206 which H834 are of your sort H1524 ? then shall ye make me endanger H2325 H853 my head H7218 to the king. H4428
11 Then said H559 Daniel H1840 to H413 Melzar, H4453 whom H834 the prince H8269 of the eunuchs H5631 had set H4487 over H5921 Daniel, H1840 Hananiah, H2608 Mishael, H4332 and Azariah, H5838
12 Prove H5254 H853 thy servants, H5650 I beseech thee, H4994 ten H6235 days; H3117 and let them give H5414 us pulse H2235 to eat, H398 and water H4325 to drink. H8354
13 Then let our countenances H4758 be looked upon H7200 before H6440 thee , and the countenance H4758 of the children H3206 that eat H398 H853 of the portion of the king's meat H6598 H4428 : and as H834 thou seest, H7200 deal H6213 with H5973 thy servants. H5650
14 So he consented H8085 to them in this H2088 matter, H1697 and proved H5254 them ten H6235 days. H3117
15 And at the end H4480 H7117 of ten H6235 days H3117 their countenances H4758 appeared H7200 fairer H2896 and fatter H1277 in flesh H1320 than H4480 all H3605 the children H3206 which did eat H398 H853 the portion of the king's meat H6598 H4428 .
16 Thus Melzar H4453 took away H5375 H853 the portion of their meat, H6598 and the wine H3196 that they should drink; H4960 and gave H5414 them pulse. H2235
17 As for these H428 four H702 children, H3206 God H430 gave H5414 them knowledge H4093 and skill H7919 in all H3605 learning H5612 and wisdom: H2451 and Daniel H1840 had understanding H995 in all H3605 visions H2377 and dreams. H2472
18 Now at the end H4480 H7117 of the days H3117 that H834 the king H4428 had said H559 he should bring them in, H935 then the prince H8269 of the eunuchs H5631 brought them in H935 before H6440 Nebuchadnezzar. H5019
19 And the king H4428 communed H1696 with H854 them ; and among them all H4480 H3605 was found H4672 none H3808 like Daniel, H1840 Hananiah, H2608 Mishael, H4332 and Azariah: H5838 therefore stood H5975 they before H6440 the king. H4428
20 And in all H3605 matters H1697 of wisdom H2451 and understanding, H998 that H834 the king H4428 inquired H1245 of H4480 them , he found H4672 them ten H6235 times H3027 better than H5921 all H3605 the magicians H2748 and astrologers H825 that H834 were in all H3605 his realm. H4438
21 And Daniel H1840 continued H1961 even unto H5704 the first H259 year H8141 of king H4428 Cyrus. H3566
