8 Resolveu Daniel, firmemente, não contaminar-se com as finas iguarias do rei, nem com o vinho que ele bebia; então, pediu ao chefe dos eunucos que lhe permitisse não contaminar-se. 16 Com isto, o cozinheiro-chefe tirou deles as finas iguarias e o vinho que deviam beber e lhes dava legumes.

8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king' meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

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