Dan 1:2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.

wayyō’mer hammeleḵ lə’ašəpənaz raḇ sārîsāyw ləhāḇî’ mibbənê yiśərā’ēl ûmizzera‘ hamməlûḵāh ûmin-happarətəmîm

Dan 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;

yəlāḏîm yəlāḏîm ’ăšer ’ăšer ’ên-’ên-bāhem bāhem mûm kāl-wəṭôḇê mûm marə’eh wəṭôḇê ûmaśəkîlîm marə’eh bəḵāl-ûmaśəkîlîm ḥāḵəmāh bəḵāl-wəyōḏə‘ê ḥāḵəmāh wəyōḏə‘ê ḏa‘aṯ ḏa‘aṯ ûməḇînê ûməḇînê maddā‘ maddā‘ wa’ăšer kōaḥ wa’ăšer bāhem kōaḥ bāhem la‘ămōḏ la‘ămōḏ bəhêḵal hammeleḵ bəhêḵal ûlălamməḏām hammeleḵ sēp̱er ûlălamməḏām ûləšôn sēp̱er ûləšôn kaśədîm kaśədîm

Dan 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.

wayəman lāhem hammeleḵ dəḇar-yôm bəyômô mippaṯ-bag̱ hammeleḵ ûmiyyên mišətāyw ûləg̱addəlām šānîm šālôš ûmiqəṣāṯām ya‘aməḏû lip̱ənê hammeleḵ

Dan 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.

wayəhî ḇāhem mibbənê yəhûḏāh dāniyyē’l ḥănanəyāh mîšā’ēl wa‘ăzarəyāh

Dan 1:6 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:

wayyāśem lāhem śar hassārîsîm šēmôṯ wayyāśem ləḏāniyyē’l bēləṭəša’ṣṣar wəlaḥănanəyāh šaḏəraḵ ûləmîšā’ēl mêšaḵ wəla‘ăzarəyāh ‘ăḇēḏ nəg̱ô

Dan 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.

wayyāśem dāniyyē’l ‘al-libbô ’ăšer lō’-yiṯəgā’al bəp̱aṯəbag̱ hammeleḵ ûḇəyên mišətāyw wayəḇaqqēš miśśar hassārîsîm ’ăšer lō’ yiṯəgā’āl

Dan 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.

wayyittēn hā’ĕlōhîm ’eṯ-dāniyyē’l ləḥeseḏ ûləraḥămîm lip̱ənê śar hassārîsîm

Dan 1:9 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.

wayyō’mer śar hassārîsîm ləḏāniyyē’l yārē’ ’ănî ’eṯ-’ăḏōnî hammeleḵ ’ăšer minnāh ’eṯ-ma’ăḵaləḵem wə’eṯ-mišətêḵem ’ăšer lāmmāh yirə’eh ’eṯ-pənêḵem zō‘ăp̱îm min-hayəlāḏîm ’ăšer kəg̱îləḵem wəḥiyyaḇətem ’eṯ-rō’šî lammeleḵ

Dan 1:10 And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord 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.

wayyō’mer dāniyyē’l ’el-hammeləṣar ’ăšer minnāh śar hassārîsîm ‘al-dāniyyē’l ḥănanəyāh mîšā’ēl wa‘ăzarəyāh

Dan 1:11 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

nas-nā’ ’eṯ-‘ăḇāḏeyḵā yāmîm ‘ăśārāh wəyittənû-lānû min-hazzērō‘îm wənō’ḵəlāh ûmayim wənišəteh

Dan 1:12 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.

wəyērā’û ləp̱āneyḵā marə’ênû ûmarə’ēh hayəlāḏîm hā’ōḵəlîm ’ēṯ paṯəbag̱ hammeleḵ wəḵa’ăšer tirə’ēh ‘ăśēh ‘im-‘ăḇāḏeyḵā

Dan 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.

wayyišəma‘ lāhem laddāḇār hazzeh wayənassēm yāmîm ‘ăśārāh

Dan 1:14 So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.

ûmiqəṣāṯ yāmîm ‘ăśārāh nirə’āh marə’êhem ṭôḇ ûḇərî’ê bāśār min-kāl-hayəlāḏîm hā’ōḵəlîm ’ēṯ paṯəbag̱ hammeleḵ

Dan 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.

wayəhî hammeləṣar nōśē’ ’eṯ-paṯəbāg̱ām wəyên mišətêhem wənōṯēn lāhem zērə‘ōnîm

Dan 1:16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.

wəhayəlāḏîm hā’ēlleh ’arəba‘ətām nāṯan lāhem hā’ĕlōhîm maddā‘ wəhaśəkēl bəḵāl-sēp̱er wəḥāḵəmāh wəḏāniyyē’l hēḇîn bəḵāl-ḥāzôn waḥălōmôṯ

Dan 1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

ûləmiqəṣāṯ hayyāmîm ’ăšer-’āmar hammeleḵ lahăḇî’ām wayəḇî’ēm śar hassārîsîm lip̱ənê nəḇuḵaḏəneṣṣar

Dan 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.

wayəḏabbēr ’ittām hammeleḵ wəlō’ niməṣā’ mikkullām kəḏāniyyē’l ḥănanəyāh mîšā’ēl wa‘ăzarəyāh wayya‘aməḏû lip̱ənê hammeleḵ

Dan 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.

wəḵōl dəḇar ḥāḵəmaṯ bînāh ’ăšer-biqqēš mēhem hammeleḵ wayyiməṣā’ēm ‘eśer yāḏôṯ ‘al kāl-haḥarəṭummîm hā’aššāp̱îm ’ăšer bəḵāl-maləḵûṯô

Dan 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.

wayəhî dāniyyē’l ‘aḏ-šənaṯ ’aḥaṯ ləḵôreš hammeleḵ

Dan 1:21 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.
