Almeida Atualizada (Portuguese) AA
New International Version NIV
8 Daniel, porém, propôs no seu coração não se contaminar com a porção das iguarias do rei, nem com o vinho que ele bebia; portanto pediu ao chefe dos eunucos que lhe concedesse não se contaminar.
8
But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way.
9 Ora, Deus fez com que Daniel achasse graça e misericórdia diante do chefe dos eunucos.
9
Now God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel,
10 E disse o chefe dos eunucos a Daniel: Tenho medo do meu senhor, o rei, que determinou a vossa comida e a vossa bebida; pois veria ele os vossos rostos mais abatidos do que os dos outros jovens da vossa idade? Assim poríeis em perigo a minha cabeça para com o rei.
10
but the official told Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your food and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men your age? The king would then have my head because of you.”
11 Então disse Daniel ao despenseiro a quem o chefe dos eunucos havia posto sobre Daniel, Hananias, Misael e Azarias:
11
Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah,
12 Experimenta, peço-te, os teus servos dez dias; e que se nos dêem legumes a comer e água a beber.
12
“Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink.
13 Então se examine na tua presença o nosso semblante e o dos jovens que comem das iguarias reais; e conforme vires procederás para com os teus servos.
13
Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.”
14 Assim ele lhes atendeu o pedido, e os experimentou dez dias.
14
So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.
15 E, ao fim dos dez dias, apareceram os seus semblantes melhores, e eles estavam mais gordos do que todos os jovens que comiam das iguarias reais.
15
At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food.
16 Pelo que o despenseiro lhes tirou as iguarias e o vinho que deviam beber, e lhes dava legumes.
16
So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.
