8 And Daniel had come to the decision that he would not make himself unclean with the king's food or wine; so he made a request to the captain of the unsexed servants that he might not make himself unclean.

16 So the keeper regularly took away their meat and the wine which was to have been their drink, and gave them grain.

8 Daniel, contudo, decidiu não se tornar impuro com a comida e com o vinho do rei, e pediu ao chefe dos oficiais permissão para se abster deles.

16 Assim o encarregado tirou a comida especial e o vinho que haviam sido designados e em lugar disso lhes dava vegetais.
