但以理书 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
但以理被掳到巴比伦
1 犹大王约雅敬执政第三年，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒前来围攻耶路撒冷。 2 主将犹大王约雅敬及上帝殿中的部分器具交在他手中。他把器具掳到巴比伦[a]的神庙，放在他神明的库房里。
3 王吩咐太监长亚施毗拿从以色列的王室贵族中选一些人， 4 即毫无残疾、相貌英俊、学问渊博、知识丰富、聪慧善学、能在王宫服侍的青年，教他们迦勒底的语言和文字。 5 王安排他们每日享用一份御用的膳食和酒。他们要受教养三年，期满后好在王身边供职。 6 被选的人中有犹大族的但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利、亚撒利雅。 7 太监长给他们起了名字：称但以理为伯提沙撒，哈拿尼雅为沙得拉，米沙利为米煞，亚撒利雅为亚伯尼歌。
8 然而，但以理决心不用王的膳食和酒，以免玷污自己。他请求太监长准许他不玷污自己。 9 上帝使但以理得到太监长的恩待和同情。 10 不过，太监长对但以理说：“我惧怕我主我王，因为这是他安排给你们的饮食。如果他看见你们比同龄的青年瘦弱，如何是好？你们会使我在王面前人头难保。” 11 但以理便对太监长派来监管他、哈拿尼雅、米沙利和亚撒利雅的人说： 12 “求你试试看，十天内只让仆人们吃素菜、喝清水， 13 然后比较一下我们的面貌和那些用御膳的青年的面貌，看了之后再作决定。” 14 监管同意试他们十天。 15 十天后，但以理和他三个朋友看上去比那些用御膳的青年更俊美健康。 16 于是，监管撤去了安排给他们的膳食和酒，只给他们素菜。
17 上帝使这四个青年精通各样学问和知识。但以理能明白各种异象和梦兆。 18 到了尼布甲尼撒王规定青年们进宫的日子，太监长便带他们去见王。 19 王与他们谈话，发现无人比得上但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利和亚撒利雅，便把他们留在身边供职。 20 王询问他们各样的事，发现他们的智慧和聪明比全国的术士和巫师高十倍。 21 直到塞鲁士王元年，但以理仍在那里供职。

但以理书 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
巴比伦王攻陷耶路撒冷
1 犹大王约雅敬在位第三年，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒来到耶路撒冷，把城围困。 2 主把犹大王约雅敬和神殿中的一部分器物交在尼布甲尼撒手里，他就把这些器物带到示拿地的神庙那里，存放在庙中的宝库里。
但以理与三友被选入宫
3 王吩咐他的太监长亚施毘拿说：“你要从以色列人中，把一些王室的后裔和贵族带进来； 4 这些年轻人必须没有残疾、英俊、足智多才、有高度学习能力、明察事理，而且他们必须有能力可以在王宫里工作。你要教他们学习迦勒底的文学和语言。” 5 王指定每日给他们一份御用的佳肴美酒；又教养他们三年。期满以后，他们就侍立在王面前。 6 他们中间有犹大人但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利、亚撒利雅。 7 太监长给他们起了新的名字，称但以理为伯提沙撒，哈拿尼雅为沙得拉，米沙利为米煞，亚撒利雅为亚伯尼歌。
但以理决心不用王膳
8 但以理决心不让御用的佳肴美酒玷污自己，所以求太监长帮助他，使他不用玷污自己。 9 于是 神使但以理在太监长面前得着恩惠和同情。 10 只是太监长对但以理说：“我惧怕我主我王，他已指定了你们应用的饮食；如果他见到你们的面色比你们同岁的年轻人憔悴难看，你们就使我的头在王面前保不住了。” 11 后来但以理对太监长分派看管但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利、亚撒利雅的人说： 12 “请你试试仆人十天，容我们只吃素菜、喝清水。 13 然后，请你观察我们的容貌，和那些享用王的佳肴的年轻人的容貌，就照着你观察的结果，待你的仆人吧！”
吃素喝水健康更佳
14 看管他们的人就允准他们的这个要求，试试他们十天。 15 过了十天，见他们的容貌比所有享用王的佳肴的年轻人，更加俊美健壮。 16 看管他们的人就撤去指定给他们享用的佳肴美酒，让他们吃素菜。
主赐知识聪明出众超群
17 这四个年轻人在各种文字和学问上， 神都赐他们知识和聪明；但以理并且能明白一切异象和异梦。 18 到了王吩咐带所有年轻人进宫的日子，太监长就领他们到尼布甲尼撒王面前。 19 王和他们谈话，发现他们所有的人中，没有一个比得上但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利、亚撒利雅的；他们四人就侍立在王面前。 20 王考问他们一切智慧和聪明的事，就发现他们比全国所有的术士和用法术的更胜十倍。 21 直到古列王元年，但以理还在。

THE STORY OF DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS (1.1—6.28)
The Young Men at Nebuchadnezzar's Court
1 (A)In the third year that Jehoiakim was king of Judah, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia attacked Jerusalem and surrounded the city. 2 (B)The Lord let him capture King Jehoiakim and seize some of the Temple treasures. He took some prisoners back with him to the temple of his gods in Babylon, and put the captured treasures in the temple storerooms.
3 The king ordered Ashpenaz, his chief official, to select from among the Israelite exiles some young men of the royal family and of the noble families. 4 They had to be handsome, intelligent, well-trained, quick to learn, and free from physical defects, so that they would be qualified to serve in the royal court. Ashpenaz was to teach them to read and write the Babylonian language. 5 The king also gave orders that every day they were to be given the same food and wine as the members of the royal court. After three years of this training they were to appear before the king. 6 Among those chosen were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, all of whom were from the tribe of Judah. 7 The chief official gave them new names: Belteshazzar, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
8 Daniel made up his mind not to let himself become ritually unclean by eating the food and drinking the wine of the royal court, so he asked Ashpenaz to help him, 9 and God made Ashpenaz sympathetic to Daniel. 10 Ashpenaz, however, was afraid of the king, so he said to Daniel, “The king has decided what you are to eat and drink, and if you don't look as fit as the other young men, he may kill me.”
11 So Daniel went to the guard whom Ashpenaz had placed in charge of him and his three friends. 12 “Test us for ten days,” he said. “Give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare us with the young men who are eating the food of the royal court, and base your decision on how we look.”
14 He agreed to let them try it for ten days. 15 When the time was up, they looked healthier and stronger than all those who had been eating the royal food. 16 So from then on the guard let them continue to eat vegetables instead of what the king provided.
17 God gave the four young men knowledge and skill in literature and philosophy. In addition, he gave Daniel skill in interpreting visions and dreams.
18 At the end of the three years set by the king, Ashpenaz took all the young men to Nebuchadnezzar. 19 The king talked with them all, and Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah impressed him more than any of the others. So they became members of the king's court. 20 No matter what question the king asked or what problem he raised, these four knew ten times more than any fortuneteller or magician in his whole kingdom. 21 Daniel remained at the royal court until Cyrus, the emperor of Persia, conquered Babylonia.
