| 1 | In the third year of the reign of Joakim king of Juda, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and besieged it. | Anno tertio regni Ioakim regis Iuda, venit Nabuchodonosor, rex Babylonis, in Ierusalem, et obsedit eam: | ἘΝ ἔτει τρίτῳ τῆς βασιλείας Ἰωακεὶμ βασιλέως Ἰούδα, ἦλθε Ναβουχοδονόσορ ὁ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐπολιόρκει αὐτήν. |
| 2 | And the Lord delivered into his hands Joakim the king of Juda, and part of the vessels of the house of God: and he carried them away into the land of Sennaar, to the house of his god, and the vessels he brought into the treasure house of his god. | et tradidit Dominus in manu eius Ioakim, regem Iuda, et partem vasorum domus Dei: et asportavit ea in terram Sennaar in domum dei sui, et vasa intulit in domum thesauri dei sui. | Καὶ ἔδωκε Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τὸν Ἰωακεὶμ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, καὶ ἀπὸ μέρους τῶν σκευῶν οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὰ εἰς γῆν Σενναὰρ οἴκου τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ σκεύη εἰσήνεγκεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον θησαυροῦ τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ. |
| 3 | And the king spoke to Asphenez the master of the eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, and of the king’s seed and of the princes, | Et ait rex Asphenez praeposito eunuchorum ut introduceret de filiis Israël, et de semine regio et tyrannorum, | Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Ἀσφανὲζ τῷ ἀρχιευνούχῳ αὐτοῦ, εἰσαγαγεῖν ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ σπέρματος τῆς βασιλείας, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν φορθομμὶν, |
| 4 | Children in whom there was no blemish, well favoured, and skillful in all wisdom, acute in knowledge, and instructed in science, and such as might stand in the king’s palace, that he might teach them the learning, and the tongue of the Chaldeans. | pueros in quibus nulla esset macula, decoros forma, et eruditos omni sapientia, cautos scientia, et doctos disciplina, et qui possent stare in palatio regis, ut doceret eos litteras et linguam Chaldaeorum. | νεανίσκους, οἷς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς μῶμος, καὶ καλοὺς τῇ ὄψει, καὶ συνιέντας ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ, καὶ γινώσκοντας γνῶσιν, καὶ διανοουμένους φρόνησιν, καὶ οἷς ἐστιν ἰσχὺς ἐν αὐτοῖς ἑστάναι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ διδάξαι αὐτοὺς γράμματα καὶ γλῶσσαν Χαλδαίων. |
| 5 | And the king appointed them a daily provision, of his own meat, and of the wine of which he drank himself, that being nourished three years, afterwards they might stand before the king. | Et constituit eis rex annonam per singulos dies de cibis suis, et de vino unde bibebat ipse, ut enutriti tribus annis, postea starent in conspectu regis. | Καὶ διέταξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ τῆς ἡμέρας καθʼ ἡμέραν, ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ ποτοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ θρέψαι αὐτοὺς ἔτη τρία, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα στῆναι ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως. |
| 6 | Now there were among them of the children of Juda, Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias. | Fuerunt ergo inter eos de filiis Iuda, Daniel, Ananias, Misaël, et Azarias. | Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰούδα, Δανιὴλ, καὶ Ἀνανίας, καὶ Ἀζαρίας, καὶ Μισαήλ. |
| 7 | And the master of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Baltassar: to Ananias, Sidrach: to Misael, Misach: and to Azarias, Abdenago. | Et imposuit eis praepositus eunuchorum nomina: Danieli, Baltassar; Ananiae, Sidrach; Misaëli, Misach; et Azariae, Abdenago. | Καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ἀρχιευνοῦχος ὀνόματα· τῷ Δανιὴλ Βαλτάσαρ, καὶ τῷ Ἀνανίᾳ Σεδρὰχ, καὶ τῷ Μισαὴλ Μισὰχ, καὶ τῷ Ἀζαρίᾳ Ἀβδεναγώ. |
| 8 | But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not be defiled with the king’s table, nor with the wine which he drank: and he requested the master of the eunuchs that he might not be defiled. | Proposuit autem Daniel in corde suo ne pollueretur de mensa regis, neque de vino potus eius: et rogavit eunuchorum praepositum ne contaminaretur. | Καὶ ἔθετο Δανιὴλ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ, ὡς οὐ μὴ ἁλισγηθῇ ἐν τῇ τραπέζῃ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴνῳ ἀπὸ τοῦ ποτοῦ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἠξίωσε τὸν ἀρχιευνοῦχον, ὡς οὐ μὴ ἁλισγηθῇ. |
| 9 | And God gave to Daniel grace and mercy in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs. | Dedit autem Deus Danieli gratiam et misericordiam in conspectu principis eunuchorum. | Καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν Δανιὴλ εἰς ἔλεον καὶ οἰκτιρμὸν ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἀρχιευνούχου. |
| 10 | And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel: I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed you meat and drink: who if he should see your faces leaner than those of the other youths your equals, you shall endanger my head to the king. | Et ait princeps eunuchorum ad Danielem: Timeo ego dominum meum regem, qui constituit vobis cibum et potum: qui si viderit vultus vestros macilentiores prae ceteris adolescentibus coaevis vestris, condemnabitis caput meum regi. | Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀρχιευνοῦχος τῷ Δανιὴλ, φοβοῦμαι ἐγὼ τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα, τὸν ἐκτάξαντα τὴν βρῶσιν ὑμῶν καὶ τὴν πόσιν ὑμῶν, μήποτε ἴδῃ τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν σκυθρωπὰ παρὰ τὰ παιδάρια τὰ συνήλικα ὑμῶν, καὶ καταδικάσητε τὴν κεφαλήν μου τῷ βασιλεῖ. |
| 11 | And Daniel said to Malasar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias: | Et dixit Daniel ad Malasar, quem constituerat princeps eunuchorum super Danielem, Ananiam, Misaëlem, et Azariam: | Καὶ εἶπε Δανιὴλ πρὸς Ἀμελσὰδ, ὃν κατέστησεν ὁ ἀρχιευνοῦχος ἐπὶ Δανιὴλ, Ἀνανίαν, Μισαὴλ, Ἀζαρίαν, |
| 12 | Try, I beseech thee, thy servants for ten days, and let pulse be given us to eat, and water to drink: | Tenta nos, obsecro, servos tuos, diebus decem, et dentur nobis legumina ad vescendum, et aqua ad bibendum: | πείρασον δὴ τοὺς παῖδάς σου ἡμέρας δέκα, καὶ δότωσαν ἡμῖν ἀπὸ τῶν σπερμάτων, καὶ φαγώμεθα, καὶ ὕδωρ πιώμεθα, |
| 13 | And look upon our faces, and the faces of the children that eat of the king’s meat: and as thou shalt see, deal with thy servants. | et contemplare vultus nostros, et vultus puerorum, qui vescuntur cibo regio: et sicut videris, facies cum servis tuis. | καὶ ὀφθήτωσαν ἐνώπιόν σου αἱ ἰδέαι ἡμῶν, καὶ αἱ ἰδέαι τῶν παιδαρίων τῶν ἐσθόντων τὴν τράπεζαν τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ καθὼς ἐὰν ἴδῃς, ποίησον μετὰ τῶν παίδων σου. |
| 14 | And when he had heard these words, he tried them for ten days. | Qui, audito sermone huiuscemodi, tentavit eos diebus decem. | Καὶ εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπείρασεν αὐτοὺς ἡμέρας δέκα. |
| 15 | And after ten days their faces appeared fairer and fatter than all the children that ate of the king’s meat. | Post dies autem decem, apparuerunt vultus eorum meliores, et corpulentiores prae omnibus pueris, qui vescebantur cibo regio. | Καὶ μετὰ τὸ τέλος τῶν δέκα ἡμερῶν, ὡράθησαν αἱ ἰδέαι αὐτῶν ἀγαθαὶ καὶ ἰσχυραὶ ταῖς σαρξὶν ὑπὲρ τὰ παιδάρια τὰ ἔσθοντα τὴν τράπεζαν τοῦ βασιλέως. |
| 16 | So Malasar took their portions, and the wine that they should drink: and he gave them pulse. | Porro Malasar tollebat cibaria, et vinum potus eorum: dabatque eis legumina. | Καὶ ἐγένετο Ἀμελσὰδ ἀναιρούμενος τὸ δεῖπνον αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸν οἶνον τοῦ πόματος αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐδίδου αὐτοῖς σπέρματα. |
| 17 | And to these children God gave knowledge, and understanding in every book, and wisdom: but to Daniel the understanding also of all visions and dreams. | Pueris autem his dedit Deus scientiam et disciplinam, in omni libro et sapientia: Danieli autem intelligentiam omnium visionum et somniorum. | Καὶ τὰ παιδάρια ταῦτα οἱ τέσσαρες αὐτοὶ, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεὸς σύνεσιν καὶ φρόνησιν ἐν πάσῃ γραμματικῇ καὶ σοφίᾳ· καὶ Δανιὴλ συνῆκεν ἐν πάσῃ ὁράσει καὶ ἐνυπνίοις. |
| 18 | And when the days were ended, after which the king had ordered they should be brought in: the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nabuchodonosor. | Completis itaque diebus, post quos dixerat rex ut introducerentur, introduxit eos praepositus eunuchorum in conspectu Nabuchodonosor. | Καὶ μετὰ τὸ τέλος τῶν ἡμερῶν, ὧν εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ὁ ἀρχιευνοῦχος ἐναντίον Ναβουχοδονόσορ. |
| 19 | And when the king had spoken to them, there were not found among them all such as Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias: and they stood in the king’s presence. | Cumque eis locutus fuisset rex, non sunt inventi tales de universis, ut Daniel, Ananias, Misaël, et Azarias: et steterunt in conspectu regis. | Καὶ ἐλάλησε μετʼ αὐτῶν ὁ βασιλεύς· καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθησαν ἐκ πάντων αὐτῶν ὅμοιοι Δανιὴλ, καὶ Ἀνανίᾳ, καὶ Μισαὴλ, καὶ Ἀζαρίᾳ· καὶ ἔστησαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως. |
| 20 | And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the diviners, and wise men, that were in all his kingdom. | Et omne verbum sapientiae et intellectus, quod sciscitatus est ab eis rex, invenit in eis decuplum super cunctos ariolos et magos qui erant in universo regno eius. | Καὶ ἐν παντὶ ῥήματι σοφίας καὶ ἐπιστήμης ὧν ἐζήτησε παρʼ αὐτῶν ὁ βασιλεύς, εὗρεν αὐτοὺς δεκαπλασίονας παρὰ πάντας τοὺς ἐπαοιδοὺς καὶ τοὺς μάγους τοὺς ὄντας ἐν πάσῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ. |
| 21 | And Daniel continued even to the first year of king Cyrus. | Fuit autem Daniel usque ad annum primum Cyri regis. | Καὶ ἐγένετο Δανιὴλ ἕως ἔτους ἑνὸς Κύρου τοῦ βασιλέως. |
