Daniel 1
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
1 Nang ikatlong taon ng paghahari ni Joacim na hari sa Juda, ay dumating sa Jerusalem si Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia, at kinubkob niya yaon.
2 At ibinigay ng Panginoon sa kaniyang kamay si Joacim na hari sa Juda, sangpu ng bahagi ng mga kasangkapan ng bahay ng Dios; at ang mga yao'y dinala niya sa lupain ng Sinar sa bahay ng kaniyang dios: at ipinasok niya ang mga kasangkapan sa silid ng kayamanan ng kaniyang dios.
3 At ang hari ay nagsalita kay Aspenaz, na puno ng kaniyang mga bating, na siya'y magdala ng ilan sa mga anak ni Israel, sa makatuwid baga'y sa lahing hari at sa mga mahal na tao;
4 Mga binatang walang kapintasan, kundi may mabubuting bikas, at matatalino sa lahat na karunungan, at bihasa sa kaalaman, at nakakaunawa ng dunong, at may ganyang kakayahan na makatayo sa palacio ng hari; at kaniyang tuturuan sila ng turo at wika ng mga Caldeo.
5 At ipinagtakda ng hari sila ng bahagi sa araw sa pagkain ng hari, at sa alak na kaniyang iniinom, at sila'y kakandilihin na tatlong taon; upang sa wakas niyao'y mangakatayo sila sa harap ng hari.
6 Na sa mga ito nga, sa mga anak ni Juda, si Daniel, si Ananias, si Misael, at si Azarias.
7 At pinanganlan sila ng pangulo ng mga bating: kay Daniel ang ipinangalan ay Beltsasar, at kay Ananias ay Sadrach; at kay Misael ay Mesach; at kay Azarias ay Abed-nego.
8 Nguni't pinasiyahan ni Daniel sa kaniyang puso na siya'y hindi magpapakahamak sa pagkain ng hari, o sa alak man na kaniyang iniinom: kaya't kaniyang hiniling sa pangulo ng mga bating na siya'y huwag mapahamak.
9 Si Daniel nga ay pinasumpong ng Dios, ng lingap at habag sa paningin ng pangulo ng mga bating.
10 At sinabi ng pangulo ng mga bating kay Daniel, Ako'y natatakot sa aking panginoong hari, na nagtakda ng inyong pagkain at ng inyong inumin: sapagka't bakit niya makikita na ang inyong mga mukha ay maputla kay sa mga binata na inyong mga kasinggulang? isasapanganib nga ninyo ang aking ulo sa hari.
11 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Daniel sa katiwala na inihalal ng pangulo ng mga bating kay Daniel, kay Ananias, kay Misael, at kay Azarias:
12 Ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, na subukin mo ang iyong mga lingkod, na sangpung araw; at bigyan kami ng mga gulay na makain, at tubig na mainom.
13 Kung magkagayo'y masdan mo ang aming mga mukha sa harap mo, at ang mukha ng mga binata na nagsisikain ng pagkain ng hari; at ayon sa iyong makikita ay gawin mo sa iyong mga lingkod.
14 Sa gayo'y dininig niya sila sa bagay na ito, at sinubok niya sila na sangpung araw.
15 At sa katapusan ng sangpung araw ay napakitang lalong maganda ang kanilang mga mukha, at sila'y lalong mataba sa laman kay sa lahat na binata na nagsisikain ng pagkain ng hari.
16 Sa gayo'y inalis ng katiwala ang kanilang pagkain, at ang alak na kanilang inumin, at binigyan sila ng mga gulay.
17 Tungkol nga sa apat na binatang ito, pinagkalooban sila ng Dios ng kaalaman at katalinuhan sa lahat ng turo at karunungan: at si Daniel ay may pagkaunawa sa lahat na pangitain at mga panaginip.
18 At sa katapusan ng mga araw na itinakda ng hari sa paghaharap sa kanila, ipinasok nga sila ng pangulo ng mga bating sa harap ni Nabucodonosor.
19 At ang hari ay nakipagsalitaan sa kanila; at sa kanilang lahat ay walang nasumpungang gaya ni Daniel, ni Ananias, ni Misael, at ni Azarias: kaya't sila'y nanganatili sa harap ng hari.
20 At sa bawa't bagay ng karunungan at unawa, na inusisa ng hari sa kanila, nasumpungan niya silang makasangpung mainam kay sa lahat ng mahiko at mga enkantador na nangasa kaniyang buong kaharian.
21 At si Daniel ay namalagi hanggang sa unang taon ng haring Ciro.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Four Young Israelites at the Babylonian Court
1 In the third year of the reign of King Jehoiakim of Judah, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.(A) 2 The Lord gave King Jehoiakim of Judah into his power, as well as some of the vessels of the house of God. These he brought to the land of Shinar,[a] and he placed the vessels in the treasury of his gods.(B)
3 Then the king commanded his palace master Ashpenaz to bring some of the Israelites of the royal family and of the nobility: 4 young men without physical defect and handsome, versed in every branch of wisdom, endowed with knowledge and insight, and competent to serve in the king’s palace; they were to be taught the literature and language of the Chaldeans.(C) 5 The king assigned them a daily portion of the royal rations of food and wine. They were to be educated for three years, so that at the end of that time they could be stationed in the king’s court.(D) 6 Among them were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, from the tribe of Judah.(E) 7 The palace master gave them other names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego.(F)
8 But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the royal rations of food and wine, so he asked the palace master to allow him not to defile himself.(G) 9 Now God granted Daniel favor and compassion from the palace master.(H) 10 The palace master said to Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king; he has appointed your food and your drink. If he should see you in poorer condition than the other young men of your age, you would endanger my head with the king.” 11 Then Daniel asked the guard whom the palace master had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: 12 “Please test your servants for ten days. Let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 You can then compare our appearance with the appearance of the young men who eat the royal rations and deal with your servants according to what you observe.” 14 So he agreed to this proposal and tested them for ten days. 15 At the end of ten days it was observed that they appeared better and fatter than all the young men who had been eating the royal rations.(I) 16 So the guard continued to withdraw their royal rations and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables. 17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and skill in every aspect of literature and wisdom; Daniel also had insight into all visions and dreams.(J)
18 At the end of the time that the king had set for them to be brought in, the palace master brought them into the presence of Nebuchadnezzar, 19 and the king spoke with them. Among them all, no one was found to compare with Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; therefore they were stationed in the king’s court.(K) 20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom.(L) 21 And Daniel continued there until the first year of King Cyrus.(M)

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)
