year°
of the reign°
of Jehoiakim°
king°
of Judah°
came°°
Nebuchadnezzar°
king°
of Babylon°
unto Jerusalem,°
and besieged°°°

|
1:2
And the Lord gave into his hand Jehoiakim{gr.Joakim} king of Judah{gr.Juda}, and part of the vessels of the house of God: and he brought them into the land of Sennaar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god. |
|
1:2
And Yahweh°
gave°°°
Jehoiakim°
king°
of Judah°
into his hand,°
with part°°
of the vessels°
of the house°
of Elohim:°
which he carried°°
into°

and he brought°°

1:3 ¶
And the king told Asphanez his chief eunuch, to bring in [some] of the captive children of Israel, and of the seed of the kingdom, and of the princes; |
|
1:3 ¶
And the king°
spake°°
unto Ashpenaz°
the master°
of his eunuchs,°
that he should bring°°
[certain] of the children°°
of Israel,°
and of the king's°
seed,°°°
and of°
the princes;° |
|
1:4
young men in whom was no blemish, and beautiful in appearance, and skilled in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and acquainted with prudence, and who had ability to stand in the house before the king, and [the king gave commandment] to teach them the learning and language of the Chaldeans. |
|
1:4
Children°
in whom°
[was] no°°
blemish,°°
but well°
favoured,°°
and skilful°°
in all°
wisdom,°
and cunning°°
in knowledge,°
and understanding°°
science,°
and such°
as [had] ability°
in them to stand°°
in the king's°
palace,°
and whom they might teach°°
the learning°
and the tongue°
of the Chaldeans.° |
|
1:5
And the king appointed them a daily portion from the king's table, and from the wine which he drank; and [gave orders] to nourish them three years, and [that] afterwards they should stand before the king. |
|
1:5
And the king°
appointed°°
them a daily°
provision°
of the king's°
meat,°°°
and of the wine°°
which he drank:°
so nourishing°°
them three°
years,°
that at the end°°
thereof they might stand°°
before°
the king.° |
|
1:6
Now these were among them of the children of Judah{gr.Juda}, Daniel, and Hananiah{gr.Ananias}, and Azariah{gr.Azarias}, and Mishael{gr.Misael}. |
|
1:6
Now among these were°
of the children°°
of Judah,°
Daniel,°
Hananiah,°
Mishael,°
and Azariah:° |
|
1:7
And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Belteshazzar{gr.Baltasar}; and to Hananiah{gr.Ananias}, Shadrach{gr.Sedrach}; and to Mishael{gr.Misael}, Meshach{gr.Misach}; and to Azariah{gr.Azarias}, Abednego{gr.Abdenago}. |
|
1:7
Unto whom the prince°
of the eunuchs°
gave°°
names:°
for he gave°°
unto Daniel°
[the name] of Belteshazzar;°
and to Hananiah,°
of Shadrach;°
and to Mishael,°
of Meshach;°
and to Azariah,°
of Abednego.° |
|
1:8 ¶
And Daniel purposed in his heart, that he would not defile himself with the king's table, nor with the wine of his drink: and he intreated the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. |
|
1:8 ¶
But Daniel°
purposed°°
in°
his heart°
that°
he would not°
defile°°
himself°
with the portion°°
of the king's°
meat,°°
nor with the wine°
which he drank:°
therefore he requested°°
of the prince°°
of the eunuchs°
that°
he might not°
defile°°
himself.° |
|
1:9
Now God [had] brought Daniel into favour and compassion with the chief of the eunuchs. |
|
1:9
Now Elohim°
had brought°°°
Daniel°
into favour°
and tender love°
with°
the prince°
of the eunuchs.° |
|
1:10
And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your meat and your drink, lest he see your countenances gloomy in comparison of the young men your equals; also shall ye endanger my head to the king. |
|
1:10
And the prince°
of the eunuchs°
said°°
unto Daniel,°
I°
fear°°°
my adon°
the king,°
who°
hath appointed°°°
your meat°
and your drink:°
for°
why°
should he see°°°
your faces°
worse liking°°
than°
the children°
which°
[are] of your sort?°
then shall ye make [me] endanger°°°
my head°
to the king.° |
|
1:11
And Daniel said to Amelsad, whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah{gr.Ananias}, Mishael{gr.Misael}, [and] Azariah{gr.Azarias}. |
|
1:11
Then said°°
Daniel°
to°
Melzar,°
whom°
the prince°
of the eunuchs°
had set°°
over°
Daniel,°
Hananiah,°
Mishael,°
and Azariah,° |
|
1:12
Prove now thy servants ten days; and let them give us pulse, and let us eat, and let us drink water: |
|
1:12
Prove°°°
thy servants,°
I beseech thee,°
ten°
days;°
and let them give°°
us pulse°
to eat,°°
and water°
to drink.°° |
|
1:13
And let our countenances be seen by thee, and the countenances of the children that eat [at] the king's table; and deal with thy servants according as thou shalt see. |
|
1:13
Then let our countenances°
be looked upon°°
before°
thee, and the countenance°
of the children°
that eat°°°
of the portion°°
of the king's°
meat:°°
and as°
thou seest,°°
deal°°
with°
thy servants.° |
|
1:14
And he hearkened to them, and proved them ten days. |
|
1:14
So he consented°°
to them in this°
matter,°
and proved°°
them ten°
days.° |
|
1:15
And at the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer and stouter in flesh, than the children that fed at the king's table. |
|
1:15
And at the end°°
of ten°
days°
their countenances°
appeared°°
fairer°
and fatter°
in flesh°
than°
all°
the children°
which did eat°°°
the portion°°
of the king's°
meat.°° |
|
1:16
So Amelsad took away their supper and the wine of their drink, and gave them pulse. |
|
1:16
Thus Melzar°
took away°°°
the portion of their meat,°
and the wine°
that they should drink;°
and gave°°
them pulse.° |
|
1:17 ¶
And [as for] these four children, God gave them understanding and prudence in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. |
|
1:17 ¶
As for these°
four°
children,°
Elohim°
gave°°
them knowledge°
and skill°°
in all°
learning°
and wisdom:°
and Daniel°
had understanding°°
in all°
visions°
and dreams.° |
|
1:18
And at the end of the days, [after] which the king had given orders to bring them in, then the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar{gr.Nabuchodonosor}. |
|
1:18
Now at the end°°
of the days°
that°
the king°
had said°°
he should bring°°
them in,°
then the prince°
of the eunuchs°
brought°°
them in°
before°
Nebuchadnezzar.° |
|
1:19
And the king spoke with them; and there were not found out of them all any like Daniel, and Hananiah{gr.Ananias} and Mishael{gr.Misael}, and Azariah{gr.Azarias}: and they stood before the king. |
|
1:19
And the king°
communed°°
with°
them; and among them all°°
was found°°
none°
like Daniel,°
Hananiah,°
Mishael,°
and Azariah:°
therefore stood°°
they before°
the king.° |
|
1:20
And in every matter of wisdom and knowledge wherein the king questioned them, he found them ten times wiser than all the enchanters and sorcerers that were in all his kingdom. |
|
1:20
And in all°
matters°
of wisdom°
[and] understanding,°
that°
the king°
enquired°°
of°
them, he found°°
them ten°
times°°
better°
than°
all°
the magicians°
[and] astrologers°
that°
[were] in all°
his realm.° |
|
1:21
And Daniel continued till the first year of king Cyrus. |
|
1:21
And Daniel°
continued°
[even] unto°
the first°
year°
of king°
Cyrus.° |
