8 And Daniel determined in his heart that he would not defile himself with the kings food, or with the wine which he drank. So he asked of the chief of the officials that he might not defile himself.

16 So Melzar took away their food and the wine that they were to drink, and he gave them vegetables.

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.
