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.

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

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.
