但以理书 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
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。
1In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.
2主将 犹大 王 约雅敬 ，并 神殿中器皿的几分交付他手。他就把这器皿带到 示拿 地，收入他神的庙里，放在他神的库中。
2And the Lord delivered into his hand Jehoiakim king of Judah, along with some of the articles from the house of God. He carried these off to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, where he put them in the treasury of his god.
3王吩咐太监长 亚施毗拿 ，从 以色列 人的宗室和贵胄中带进几个人来，
3Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, the chief of his court officials, to bring in some Israelites from the royal family and the nobility—
4就是年少没有残疾、相貌俊美、通达各样学问、知识聪明俱备、足能侍立在王宫里的，要教他们 迦勒底 的文字言语。
4young men without blemish, handsome, gifted in all wisdom, knowledgeable, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king’s palace—and to teach them the language and literature of the Chaldeans.
5王派定将自己所用的膳和所饮的酒，每日赐他们一分，养他们三年。满了三年，好叫他们在王面前侍立。
5The king assigned them daily provisions of the royal food and wine. They were to be trained for three years, after which they were to enter the king’s service.
6他们中间有 犹大 族的人： 但以理 、 哈拿尼雅 、 米沙利 、 亚撒利雅 。
6Among these young men were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
7太监长给他们起名：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 。
7The chief official gave them new names: To Daniel he gave the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.
8但以理 却立志不以王的膳和王所饮的酒玷污自己，所以求太监长容他不玷污自己。
8But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king’s food or wine. So he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself.
9神使 但以理 在太监长眼前蒙恩惠，受怜悯。
9Now God had granted Daniel favor and compassion from the chief official,
10太监长对 但以理 说：「我惧怕我主我王，他已经派定你们的饮食，倘若他见你们的面貌比你们同岁的少年人肌瘦，怎么好呢？这样，你们就使我的头在王那里难保。」
10but he said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking thinner than those of the other young men your age? You would endanger my head before the king!”
11但以理 对太监长所派管理 但以理 、 哈拿尼雅 、 米沙利 、 亚撒利雅 的委办说：
11Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12「求你试试仆人们十天，给我们素菜吃，白水喝，
12“Please test your servants for ten days. Let us be given only vegetables to eat and water to drink.
13然后看看我们的面貌和用王膳那少年人的面貌，就照你所看的待仆人吧！」
13Then compare our appearances with those of the young men who are eating the royal food, and deal with your servants according to what you see.”
14委办便允准他们这件事，试看他们十天。
14So he consented to this and tested them for ten days.
15过了十天，见他们的面貌比用王膳的一切少年人更加俊美肥胖。
15And at the end of ten days, they looked healthier and better nourished than all the young men who were eating the king’s food.
16于是委办撤去派他们用的膳，饮的酒，给他们素菜吃。
16So the steward continued to withhold their choice food and the wine they were to drink, and he gave them vegetables instead.
17这四个少年人， 神在各样文字学问上赐给他们聪明知识； 但以理 又明白各样的异象和梦兆。
17To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding in every kind of literature and wisdom. And Daniel had insight into all kinds of visions and dreams.
18尼布甲尼撒 王预定带进少年人来的日期满了，太监长就把他们带到王面前。
18Now at the end of the time specified by the king, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar.
19王与他们谈论，见少年人中无一人能比 但以理 、 哈拿尼雅 、 米沙利 、 亚撒利雅 ，所以留他们在王面前侍立。
19And the king spoke with them, and among all the young men he found no one equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they entered the king’s service.
20王考问他们一切事，就见他们的智慧聪明比通国的术士和用法术的胜过十倍。
20In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom.
21到 塞鲁士 王元年， 但以理 还在。
21And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus.
