但以理书 1
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
但以理和他的朋友(A)
但以理在尼布甲尼撒的宫廷里
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,将城围困。 2 主将犹大王约雅敬和 神殿中的一些器皿交在他的手中。他就把他们带到示拿地他神明的庙里,将器皿收入他神明的库房中。
3 王吩咐太监长亚施毗拿,从以色列人的王室后裔和贵族中带进几个人来, 4 就是没有残疾、相貌俊美、通达各样学问[a]、知识聪明俱备、足能在王宫侍立的少年,要教他们迦勒底的文字和语言。 5 王从自己所用的膳和所饮的酒中,派给他们每日的分量,养育他们三年,好叫他们期满以后侍立在王面前。 6 他们中间有犹大人但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利和亚撒利雅。 7 太监长给他们另外起名,称但以理为伯提沙撒,称哈拿尼雅为沙得拉,称米沙利为米煞,称亚撒利雅为亚伯尼歌。
8 但以理却立志,不以王的膳和王所饮的酒玷污自己,于是恳求太监长容他不使自己玷污。 9 神使但以理在太监长眼前蒙恩,得怜悯。 10 太监长对但以理说:“我惧怕我主我王,他已经派给你们的饮食,何必让他见你们的面貌比你们同年龄的少年憔悴呢?这样,你们就使我的头在王那里不保了。” 11 但以理对太监长所派监管但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利、亚撒利雅的管理者说: 12 “请你考验仆人们十天,给我们素菜吃,清水喝, 13 然后你亲自观察我们的面貌和那用王膳的少年的面貌;就照你所观察的待你的仆人吧!”
14 管理者准许他们这件事,考验他们十天。 15 过了十天,他们的身材看来比所有享用王膳的少年更加俊美健壮, 16 于是管理者撤去王派给他们用的膳和所饮的酒,只给他们素菜。
17 这四个少年, 神在各样文字学问上赐给他们知识和聪明;但以理又明白各样异象和梦兆。
18 王吩咐带他们进宫的日子到了,太监长就把他们带到尼布甲尼撒面前。 19 王与他们谈论,在所有少年中找不到人能与但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利、亚撒利雅相比,于是他们就在王面前侍立。 20 王考问他们一切智慧和聪明的事,发现他们比全国所有的术士和巫师胜过十倍。 21 到居鲁士王元年,但以理还健在。

但以理被擄到巴比倫
1 猶大王約雅敬執政第三年,巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒前來圍攻耶路撒冷。 2 主將猶大王約雅敬及上帝殿中的部分器具交在他手中。他把器具擄到巴比倫[a]的神廟,放在他神明的庫房裡。
3 王吩咐太監長亞施毗拿從以色列的王室貴族中選一些人, 4 即毫無殘疾、相貌英俊、學問淵博、知識豐富、聰慧善學、能在王宮服侍的青年,教他們迦勒底的語言和文字。 5 王安排他們每日享用一份御用的膳食和酒。他們要受教養三年,期滿後好在王身邊供職。 6 被選的人中有猶大族的但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利、亞撒利雅。 7 太監長給他們起了名字:稱但以理為伯提沙撒,哈拿尼雅為沙得拉,米沙利為米煞,亞撒利雅為亞伯尼歌。
8 然而,但以理決心不用王的膳食和酒,以免玷污自己。他請求太監長准許他不玷污自己。 9 上帝使但以理得到太監長的恩待和同情。 10 不過,太監長對但以理說:「我懼怕我主我王,因為這是他安排給你們的飲食。如果他看見你們比同齡的青年瘦弱,如何是好?你們會使我在王面前人頭難保。」 11 但以理便對太監長派來監管他、哈拿尼雅、米沙利和亞撒利雅的人說: 12 「求你試試看,十天內只讓僕人們吃素菜、喝清水, 13 然後比較一下我們的面貌和那些用御膳的青年的面貌,看了之後再作決定。」 14 監管同意試他們十天。 15 十天後,但以理和他三個朋友看上去比那些用御膳的青年更俊美健康。 16 於是,監管撤去了安排給他們的膳食和酒,只給他們素菜。
17 上帝使這四個青年精通各樣學問和知識。但以理能明白各種異象和夢兆。 18 到了尼布甲尼撒王規定青年們進宮的日子,太監長便帶他們去見王。 19 王與他們談話,發現無人比得上但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利和亞撒利雅,便把他們留在身邊供職。 20 王詢問他們各樣的事,發現他們的智慧和聰明比全國的術士和巫師高十倍。 21 直到塞魯士王元年,但以理仍在那裡供職。

Daniel 1
Common English Bible
Jerusalem taken by the Babylonians
1 In the third year of the rule of Judah’s King Jehoiakim, Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar came to Jerusalem and attacked it. 2 The Lord handed Judah’s King Jehoiakim over to Nebuchadnezzar, along with some of the equipment from God’s house. Nebuchadnezzar took these to Shinar, to his own god’s temple, putting them in his god’s treasury.
Training for royal service
3 Nebuchadnezzar instructed his highest official Ashpenaz to choose royal descendants and members of the ruling class from the Israelites— 4 good-looking young men without defects, skilled in all wisdom, possessing knowledge, conversant with learning, and capable of serving in the king’s palace. Ashpenaz was to teach them the Chaldean language and its literature. 5 The king assigned these young men daily allotments from his own food and from the royal wine. Ashpenaz was to teach them for three years so that at the end of that time they could serve before the king. 6 Among these young men from the Judeans were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. 7 But the chief official gave them new names. He named Daniel “Belteshazzar,” Hananiah “Shadrach,” Mishael “Meshach,” and Azariah “Abednego.”
Test
8 Daniel decided that he wouldn’t pollute himself with the king’s rations or the royal wine, and he appealed to the chief official in hopes that he wouldn’t have to do so. 9 Now God had established faithful loyalty between Daniel and the chief official; 10 but the chief official said to Daniel, “I’m afraid of my master, the king, who has mandated what you are to eat and drink. What will happen if he sees your faces looking thinner than the other young men in your group? The king will have my head because of you!”
11 So Daniel spoke to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: 12 “Why not test your servants for ten days? You could give us a diet of vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance to the appearance of the young men who eat the king’s food. Then deal with your servants according to what you see.”
14 The guard decided to go along with their plan and tested them for ten days. 15 At the end of ten days they looked better and healthier than all the young men who were eating the king’s food. 16 So the guard kept taking away their rations and the wine they were supposed to drink and gave them vegetables instead. 17 And God gave knowledge, mastery of all literature, and wisdom to these four men. Daniel himself gained understanding of every type of vision and dream.
Result of the training
18 When the time came to review the young men as the king had ordered, the chief official brought them before Nebuchadnezzar. 19 When the king spoke with them, he found no one as good as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they took their place in the king’s service. 20 Whenever the king consulted them about any aspect of wisdom and understanding, he found them head and shoulders above all the dream interpreters and enchanters in his entire kingdom. 21 And Daniel stayed in the king’s service until the first year of King Cyrus.
Daniel 1
New International Version
Daniel’s Training in Babylon
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim(A) king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar(B) king of Babylon(C) came to Jerusalem and besieged it.(D) 2 And the Lord delivered Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with some of the articles from the temple of God. These he carried(E) off to the temple of his god in Babylonia[a] and put in the treasure house of his god.(F)
3 Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, chief of his court officials, to bring into the king’s service some of the Israelites from the royal family and the nobility(G)— 4 young men without any physical defect, handsome,(H) showing aptitude for every kind of learning,(I) well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king’s palace. He was to teach them the language(J) and literature of the Babylonians.[b] 5 The king assigned them a daily amount of food and wine(K) from the king’s table.(L) They were to be trained for three years,(M) and after that they were to enter the king’s service.(N)
6 Among those who were chosen were some from Judah: Daniel,(O) Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.(P) 7 The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshazzar;(Q) to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.(R)
8 But Daniel resolved not to defile(S) himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. 9 Now God had caused the official to show favor(T) and compassion(U) to Daniel, 10 but the official told Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your[c] food and drink.(V) Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men your age? The king would then have my head because of you.”
11 Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, 12 “Please test(W) your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.”(X) 14 So he agreed to this and tested(Y) them for ten days.
15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food.(Z) 16 So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.(AA)
17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding(AB) of all kinds of literature and learning.(AC) And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.(AD)
18 At the end of the time(AE) set by the king to bring them into his service, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. 19 The king talked with them, and he found none equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they entered the king’s service.(AF) 20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians(AG) and enchanters in his whole kingdom.(AH)
21 And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus.(AI)
