GreekΚαὶ ἔθετο Δανιὴλ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ, ὡς οὐ μὴ ἁλισγηθῇ ἐν τῇ τραπέζῃ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐν τῷ οἴνῳ ἀπὸ τοῦ ποτοῦ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἠξίωσε τὸν ἀρχιευνοῦχον, ὡς οὐ μὴ ἁλισγηθῇ.

ThomsonTherefore the chamberlain said to Daniel, I am afraid of my lord the king who hath appointed your meat and your drink. Perhaps he may see your countenance more uncomely than the youths of your age, and you may endanger my head with the king.
BrentonAnd the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your meat and your drink, lest he see your countenances gloomy in comparison of the young men your equals; so shall ye endanger my head to the king.
GreekΚαὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀρχιευνοῦχος τῷ Δανιὴλ, φοβοῦμαι ἐγὼ τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα, τὸν ἐκτάξαντα τὴν βρῶσιν ὑμῶν καὶ τὴν πόσιν ὑμῶν, μήποτε ἴδῃ τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν σκυθρωπὰ παρὰ τὰ παιδάρια τὰ συνήλικα ὑμῶν, καὶ καταδικάσητε τὴν κεφαλήν μου τῷ βασιλεῖ.

Brentonand let our countenances be seen by thee, and the countenances of the children that eat at the king's table; and deal with thy servants according as thou shalt see.
Greekκαὶ ὀφθήτωσαν ἐνώπιόν σου αἱ ἰδέαι ἡμῶν, καὶ αἱ ἰδέαι τῶν παιδαρίων τῶν ἐσθόντων τὴν τράπεζαν τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ καθὼς ἐὰν ἴδῃς, ποίησον μετὰ τῶν παίδων σου.

16
Thomsonwhereupon Amelsad took away the food and the wine for their drink and gave them vegetables.
BrentonSo Amelsad took away their supper and the wine of their drink, and gave them pulse.

BrentonAnd the king spoke with them; and there were not found out of them all any like Daniel, and Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias: and they stood before the king.
GreekΚαὶ ἐλάλησε μετʼ αὐτῶν ὁ βασιλεύς· καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθησαν ἐκ πάντων αὐτῶν ὅμοιοι Δανιὴλ, καὶ Ἀνανίᾳ, καὶ Μισαὴλ, καὶ Ἀζαρίᾳ· καὶ ἔστησαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως.
20

BrentonAnd in every matter of wisdom and knowledge wherein the king questioned them, he found them ten times wiser than all the enchanters and sorcerers that were in all his kingdom.
