Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)

⁴Ang pipiliin nila ay mga kabataan na walang kapansanan, makikisig, matatalino, madaling turuan, may malawak na pang-unawa at karapat-dapat maglingkod sa palasyo. Tuturuan din sila ng wika at panitikan ng mga taga-Babilonia. ⁵Iniutos ng hari na sila'y paglaanan ng pagkain at alak araw-araw mula sa kanyang sariling pagkain at alak. Tatlong taon silang sasanayin bago maglingkod sa hari. ⁶Kabilang sa mga napili ay sina Daniel, Hananias, Misael, at Azarias na pawang nagmula sa lipi ni Juda.
