8 Men Daniel lät sig angeläget vara att icke orena sig med konungens mat eller med vinet som denne drack av; och han bad överste hovmannen att han icke skulle nödgas orena sig.

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