Daniel 1:10-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
10The commander of the officials said to Daniel, 'I am afraid of my lord the king, who has allotted your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces looking gaunt in comparison to the youths who are your own age? Then you would make me forfeit my head to the king.' 11But Daniel said to the overseer whom the commander of the officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12'Please put your servants to the test for ten days, and let us be given some vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13Then let our appearance be examined in your presence and the appearance of the youths who are eating the king’s choice food; and deal with your servants according to what you see.'King James Version
Chapter 1
10And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king. 11Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. 13Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants. 14So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.Christian Standard Bible
11So Daniel said to the guard whom the chief eunuch had assigned to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12"Please test your servants for ten days. Let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink.
13Then examine our appearance and the appearance of the young men who are eating the king's food, and deal with your servants based on what you see."
14He agreed with them about this and tested them for ten days.
New Living Translation
11Daniel spoke with the attendant who had been appointed by the chief of staff to look after Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
12'Please test us for ten days on a diet of vegetables and water,' Daniel said.
13'At the end of the ten days, see how we look compared to the other young men who are eating the king's food. Then make your decision in light of what you see.'
14The attendant agreed to Daniel's suggestion and tested them for ten days.

Chapter 1
10and the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who assigned your food and your drink; for why should he see that you were in worse condition than the youths who are of your own age? So you would endanger my head with the king.” 11Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had assigned over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12“Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the king’s food be observed by you, and deal with your servants according to what you see.” 14So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days.New International Version
11Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah,
12Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink.
13Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.'
14So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.

Chapter 1
10y el jefe de los oficiales dijo a Daniel: Temo a mi señor el rey, porque él ha asignado vuestra comida y vuestra bebida; ¿por qué ha de ver vuestros rostros más macilentos que los de los demás jóvenes de vuestra edad? Así pondríais en peligro mi cabeza ante el rey. 11Pero Daniel dijo al mayordomo a quien el jefe de los oficiales había nombrado sobre Daniel, Ananías, Misael y Azarías: 12Te ruego que pongas a prueba a tus siervos por diez días, y que nos den legumbres para comer y agua para beber. 13Que se compare después nuestra apariencia en tu presencia con la apariencia de los jóvenes que comen los manjares del rey, y haz con tus siervos según lo que veas.Nueva Biblia de las Américas
11Pero Daniel dijo al mayordomo a quien el jefe de oficiales había nombrado sobre Daniel, Ananías, Misael y Azarías:
12“Te ruego que pongas a prueba a tus siervos por diez días, y que nos den legumbres para comer y agua para beber.
13Que se compare después nuestra apariencia en tu presencia con la apariencia de los jóvenes que comen los manjares del rey, y haz con tus siervos según lo que veas.”

11El jefe de oficiales le ordenó a un guardia atender a Daniel, Ananías, Misael y Azarías. Por su parte, Daniel habló con ese guardia y le dijo:
12«Por favor, haz con tus siervos una prueba de diez días. Danos de comer solo verduras, y de beber solo agua.
13Pasado ese tiempo, compara nuestro semblante con el de los jóvenes que se alimentan con la comida real, y procede de acuerdo con lo que veas en nosotros».

Chapter 1
10y dijo el jefe de los eunucos a Daniel: Temo a mi señor el rey, que señaló vuestra comida y vuestra bebida; pues luego que él vea vuestros rostros más pálidos que los de los muchachos que son semejantes a vosotros, condenaréis para con el rey mi cabeza. 11Entonces dijo Daniel a Melsar, que estaba puesto por el jefe de los eunucos sobre Daniel, Ananías, Misael y Azarías: 12Te ruego que hagas la prueba con tus siervos por diez días, y nos den legumbres a comer, y agua a beber. 13Compara luego nuestros rostros con los rostros de los muchachos que comen de la ración de la comida del rey, y haz después con tus siervos según veas. 14Consintió, pues, con ellos en esto, y probó con ellos diez días.Biblia del Jubileo
