但以理書 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1猶大 王 約雅敬 在位第三年， 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 來到 耶路撒冷 ，將城圍困。
1In the third year of the reign of Joakim king of Juda, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2主將 猶大 王 約雅敬 ，並上帝殿中器皿的幾分交付他手。他就把這器皿帶到 示拿 地，收入他神的廟裏，放在他神的庫中。
2And 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.
3王吩咐太監長 亞施毗拿 ，從 以色列 人的宗室和貴冑中帶進幾個人來，
3And 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,
4就是年少沒有殘疾、相貌俊美、通達各樣學問、知識聰明俱備、足能侍立在王宮裏的，要教他們 迦勒底 的文字言語。
4Children 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.
5王派定將自己所用的膳和所飲的酒，每日賜他們一分，養他們三年。滿了三年，好叫他們在王面前侍立。
5And 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.
6他們中間有 猶大 族的人： 但以理 、 哈拿尼雅 、 米沙利 、 亞撒利雅 。
6Now there were among them of the children of Juda, Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias.
7太監長給他們起名：稱 但以理 為 伯提沙撒 ，稱 哈拿尼雅 為 沙得拉 ，稱 米沙利 為 米煞 ，稱 亞撒利雅 為 亞伯尼歌 。
7And the master of the eunuchs gave them names: to Daniel, Baltassar: to Ananias, Sidrach: to Misael, Misach: and to Azarias, Abdenago.
8但以理 卻立志不以王的膳和王所飲的酒玷污自己，所以求太監長容他不玷污自己。
8But 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.
9上帝使 但以理 在太監長眼前蒙恩惠，受憐憫。
9And God gave to Daniel grace and mercy in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.
10太監長對 但以理 說：「我懼怕我主我王，他已經派定你們的飲食，倘若他見你們的面貌比你們同歲的少年人肌瘦，怎麼好呢？這樣，你們就使我的頭在王那裏難保。」
10And 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.
11但以理 對太監長所派管理 但以理 、 哈拿尼雅 、 米沙利 、 亞撒利雅 的委辦說：
11And Daniel said to Malasar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Ananias, Misael, and Azarias:
12「求你試試僕人們十天，給我們素菜吃，白水喝，
12Try, I beseech thee, thy servants for ten days, and let pulse be given us to eat, and water to drink:
13然後看看我們的面貌和用王膳那少年人的面貌，就照你所看的待僕人吧！」
13And 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.
14委辦便允准他們這件事，試看他們十天。
14And when he had heard these words, he tried them for ten days.
15過了十天，見他們的面貌比用王膳的一切少年人更加俊美肥胖。
15And after ten days their faces appeared fairer and fatter than all the children that ate of the king’s meat.
16於是委辦撤去派他們用的膳，飲的酒，給他們素菜吃。
16So Malasar took their portions, and the wine that they should drink: and he gave them pulse.
17這四個少年人，上帝在各樣文字學問上賜給他們聰明知識； 但以理 又明白各樣的異象和夢兆。
17And to these children God gave knowledge, and understanding in every book, and wisdom: but to Daniel the understanding also of all visions and dreams.
18尼布甲尼撒 王預定帶進少年人來的日期滿了，太監長就把他們帶到王面前。
18And 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.
19王與他們談論，見少年人中無一人能比 但以理 、 哈拿尼雅 、 米沙利 、 亞撒利雅 ，所以留他們在王面前侍立。
19And 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.
20王考問他們一切事，就見他們的智慧聰明比通國的術士和用法術的勝過十倍。
20And 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.
21到 塞魯士 王元年， 但以理 還在。
21And Daniel continued even to the first year of king Cyrus.
