==== <DAN1> Daniel 1
1:1. In the third <G 7969> year <G 8141> of the reign
<G 4438>
of Jehoiakim <G 3079> king <G 4428> of Judah <G
3063> came <G
0935> Nebuchadnezzar <G 5019> king <G 4428> of
Babylon <G 0894>
unto Jerusalem <G 3389>, and besieged <G 6696> it.
1:2 And the Lord <G 0136> gave <G 5414> Jehoiakim <
G 3079> king
<G 4428> of Judah <G 3063> into his hand <G
3027>, with part <G
7117> of the vessels <G 3627> of the house <G 1004>
of God <G
0430>: which he carried <G 0935> into the land <G
0776> of
Shinar <G 8152> to the house <G 1004> of his god <
G 0430>; and
he brought <G 0935> the vessels <G 3627> into the
treasure <G
0214> house <G 1004> of his god <G 0430>.
1:3 And the king <G 4428> spake <G 0559> unto
Ashpenaz <G 0828>
the master <G 7227> of his eunuchs <G 5631>, that he
should
bring <G 0935> [certain] of the children <G 1121> of
Israel <G
3478>, and of the king's <G 4410> seed <G 2233>,
and of the
princes <G 6579>;
1:4 Children <G 3206> in whom [was] no <G 0369>
blemish <G 3971>,
but well <G 2896> favoured <G 4758>, and skilful <
G 7919> in
all <G 3605> wisdom <G 2451>, and cunning <G
3045> in knowledge
<G 1847>, and understanding <G 0995> science <G
4093>, and such
as [had] ability <G 3581> in them to stand <G 5975>
in the
king's <G 4428> palace <G 1964>, and whom they might
teach <G
3925> the learning <G 5612> and the tongue <G 3956>
of the
Chaldeans <G 3779>.
1:5 And the king <G 4428> appointed <G 4487> them a
daily <G
3117> provision <G 1697> of the king's <G 4428>
meat <G 6598>,
and of the wine <G 3196> which he drank <G 4960>: so
nourishing
<G 1431> them three <G 7969> years <G 8141>,
that at the end <G
7117> thereof they might stand <G 5975> before <G
6440> the king
<G 4428>.
1:6 Now among these <G 1992> were of the children <G
1121> of
Judah <G 3063>, Daniel <G 1840>, Hananiah <G
2608>, Mishael <G
4332>, and Azariah <G 5838>:
1:7 Unto whom <G 1992> the prince <G 8269> of the
eunuchs <G
5631> gave <G 7760> names <G 8034>: for he gave
<G 7760> unto
Daniel <G 1840> [the name <G 8034>] of Belteshazzar
<G 1095>;
and to Hananiah <G 2608>, of Shadrach <G 7714>; and
to Mishael
<G 4332>, of Meshach <G 4335>; and to Azariah <G
5838>, of
Abednego <G 5664>.
1:8. But Daniel <G 1840> purposed <G 7760> in his
heart <G 3820>
that he would not defile <G 1351> himself with the portion
<G
6598> of the king's <G 4428> meat <G 6598>, nor
with the wine <G
3196> which he drank <G 4960>: therefore he requested
<G 1245>
of the prince <G 8269> of the eunuchs <G 5631> that
he might not
defile <G 1351> himself.
1:9 Now God <G 0430> had brought <G 5414> Daniel <
G 1840> into
favour <G 2617> and tender love with the prince <G
8269> of the
eunuchs <G 5631>.
1:10 And the prince <G 8269> of the eunuchs <G 5631>
said <G
0559> unto Daniel <G 1840>, I fear <G 3373> my
lord <G 0113> the
king <G 4428>, who <G 0834> hath appointed <G
4487> your meat <G
3978> and your drink <G 4960>: for why <G 4100>
should he see <G
7200> your faces <G 6440> worse <G 2196> liking
than <G 4480>
the children <G 3206> which <G 0834> [are] of your
sort <G
1524>? then shall ye make [me] endanger <G 2325> my head
<G
7218> to the king <G 4428>.
1:11 Then said <G 0559> Daniel <G 1840> to Melzar <
G 4453>, whom
<G 0834> the prince <G 8269> of the eunuchs <G
5631> had set <G
4487> over <G 5921> Daniel <G 1840>, Hananiah <
G 2608>, Mishael
<G 4332>, and Azariah <G 5838>,
1:12 Prove <G 5254> thy servants <G 5650>, I beseech
<G 4994>
thee, ten <G 6235> days <G 3117>; and let them give
<G 5414> us
pulse <G 2235> to eat <G 0398>, and water <G
4325> to drink <G
8354>.
1:13 Then let our countenances <G 4758> be looked <G
7200> upon
before <G 6440> thee, and the countenance <G 4758> of
the
children <G 3206> that eat <G 0398> of the portion
<G 6598> of
the king's <G 4428> meat <G 6598>: and as thou seest
<G 7200>,
deal <G 6213> with thy servants <G 5650>.
1:14 So he consented <G 8085> to them in this <G 2088>
matter <G
1697>, and proved <G 5254> them ten <G 6235> days
<G 3117>.
1:15 And at the end <G 7117> of ten <G 6235> days <
G 3117> their
countenances <G 4758> appeared <G 7200> fairer <G
2896> and
fatter <G 1277> in flesh <G 1320> than <G 4480>
all <G 3605> the
children <G 3206> which did eat <G 0398> the portion
<G 6598> of
the king's <G 4428> meat <G 6598>.
1:16 Thus Melzar <G 4453> took <G 5375> away the
portion <G
6598> of their meat <G 6598>, and the wine <G 3196>
that they
should drink <G 4960>; and gave <G 5414> them pulse
<G 2235>.
1:17. As for these <G 0428> four <G 0702> children
<G 3206>, God
<G 0430> gave <G 5414> them knowledge <G 4093>
and skill <G
7919> in all <G 3605> learning <G 5612> and wisdom
<G 2451>: and
Daniel <G 1840> had understanding <G 0995> in all <
G 3605>
visions <G 2377> and dreams <G 2472>.
1:18 Now at the end <G 7117> of the days <G 3117>
that the king
<G 4428> had said <G 0559> he should bring <G
0935> them in,
then the prince <G 8269> of the eunuchs <G 5631>
brought <G
0935> them in before <G 6440> Nebuchadnezzar <G
5019>.
1:19 And the king <G 4428> communed <G 1696> with
them; and
among them all <G 3605> was found <G 4672> none <G
3808> like
Daniel <G 1840>, Hananiah <G 2608>, Mishael <G
4332>, and
Azariah <G 5838>: therefore stood <G 5975> they
before <G 6440>
the king <G 4428>.
1:20 And in all <G 3605> matters <G 1697> of wisdom
<G 2451>
[and] understanding <G 0998>, that the king <G 4428>
enquired <G
1245> of them, he found <G 4672> them ten <G 6235>
times better
<G 3027> than <G 5921> all <G 3605> the
magicians <G 2748> [and]
astrologers <G 0825> that [were] in all <G 3605> his
realm <G
4438>.
1:21 And Daniel <G 1840> continued <G 1961> [even]
unto the
first <G 0259> year <G 8141> of king <G 4428>
Cyrus <G 3566>.
==== <DAN2> Daniel 2
2:1. And in the second <G 8147> year <G 8141> of the
reign <G
4438> of Nebuchadnezzar <G 5019> Nebuchadnezzar <G
5019> dreamed
<G 2492> dreams <G 2472>, wherewith his spirit <G
7307> was
troubled <G 6470>, and his sleep <G 8142> brake <G
1961> from
him.
2:2 Then the king <G 4428> commanded <G 0559> to call
<G 7121>
the magicians <G 2748>, and the astrologers <G 0825>,
and the
sorcerers <G 3784>, and the Chaldeans <G 3779>, for
to shew <G
5046> the king <G 4428> his dreams <G 2472>. So
they came <G
0935> and stood <G 5975> before <G 6440> the king
<G 4428>.
2:3 And the king <G 4428> said <G 0559> unto them, I
have
dreamed <G 2492> a dream <G 2472>, and my spirit <
G 7307> was
troubled <G 6470> to know <G 3045> the dream <G
2472>.
2:4 Then spake <G 1696> the Chaldeans <G 3779> to the
king <G
4428> in Syriack <G 0762>, O king <G 4430>, live
<G 2418> for
ever <G 5957>: tell <G 0560> thy servants <G
5649> the dream <G
2493>, and we will shew <G 2324> the interpretation <
G 6591>.
2:5 The king <G 4430> answered <G 6032> and said <
G 0560> to the
Chaldeans <G 3779>, The thing <G 4406> is gone <G
0230> from me:
if <G 2006> ye will not make known <G 3046> unto me
the dream <G
2493>, with the interpretation <G 6591> thereof, ye
shall be cut
<G 5648> in pieces <G 1917>, and your houses <G
1005> shall be
made <G 7761> a dunghill <G 5122>.
2:6 But if <G 2006> ye shew <G 2324> the dream <G
2493>, and the
interpretation <G 6591> thereof, ye shall receive <G
6902> of me
gifts <G 4978> and rewards <G 5023> and great <G
7690> honour <G
3367>: therefore <G 2006> shew <G 2324> me the
dream <G 2493>,
and the interpretation <G 6591> thereof.
2:7 They answered <G 6032> again <G 8579> and said
<G 0560>, Let
the king <G 4430> tell <G 0560> his servants <G
5649> the dream
<G 2493>, and we will shew <G 2324> the
interpretation <G 6591>
of it.
2:8 The king <G 4430> answered <G 6032> and said <
G 0560>, I
know <G 3046> of certainty <G 3330> that ye would
gain <G 2084>
the time <G 5732>, because ye see <G 2370> the thing
<G 4406> is
gone <G 0230> from me.
2:9 But if <G 2006> ye will not make known <G 3046>
unto me the
dream <G 2493>, [there is but] one <G 2298> decree
<G 1882> for
you: for ye have prepared <G 2164> lying <G 3538> and
corrupt <G
7844> words <G 4406> to speak <G 0560> before <
G 6925> me, till
<G 5704> the time <G 5732> be changed <G 8133>:
therefore <G
2006> tell <G 0560> me the dream <G 2493>, and I
shall know <G
3046> that ye can shew <G 2324> me the interpretation
<G 6591>
thereof.
2:10 The Chaldeans <G 3779> answered <G 6032> before
<G 6925>
the king <G 4430>, and said <G 0560>, There is not a
man <G
0606> upon the earth <G 3007> that can <G 3202>
shew <G 2324>
the king's <G 4430> matter <G 4406>: therefore [there
is] no
king <G 4430>, lord <G 7229>, nor ruler <G 7990>
, [that] asked
<G 7593> such <G 1836> things at any <G 3606>
magician <G 2749>,
or astrologer <G 0826>, or Chaldean <G 3777>.
