SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:1–21: Daniel and his friends began to serve King Nebuchadnezzar

This section forms the introduction to the first division and to the book of Daniel as a whole. It tells how some Hebrew boys came to live in Babylon and serve the Babylonian king.

God allowed the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, to defeat the king of Judah. King Nebuchadnezzar ordered his chief official to choose some boys from Judah and to train them to work in the government of Babylon. Daniel and his three friends were among these boys. They excelled in their studies and the king was pleased with the wise advice they gave.

The phrase “the Lord delivered” (“Adonay gave” in Hebrew) occurs in 1:2, the phrase “God had granted” (“Elohim had given” in Hebrew) occurs in 1:9, and the phrase “God gave” (“Elohim gave” in Hebrew) occurs in 1:17. (1:2a, 1:9, 1:17a). The author used these phrases to emphasize that the Lord is sovereign over the events of history and the lives of his people. God has authority over what happens to Gentile nations and also what happens to his people. This is the theme of this chapter.

Paragraph 1:11–14

Daniel decided to go to a different official to ask his permission. He went to the man whom Ashpenaz had appointed to supervise them.

1:12a

“Please test your servants for ten days.

Please test your servants for ten days: This verse part expresses a polite request. Translate this request in a way that is polite and natural in your language. For example:

Kindly allow your servants to show/demonstrate what we want

Be so good as to give your servants a trial period.

test your servants for ten days: In this context the verb test means to give a test or trial. Daniel wanted the official to allow Daniel and his friends to do as they requested for a short period of time. That time would act as a trial period. At the end of the time, the official would observe the results of their actions. Here is another way to translate this:

Allow your servants a ten days’ trial (NJB)

your servants: Daniel referred to himself and his three companions as your servants. This was a Hebrew way of showing respect and submission. In some languages it may not be clear to whom Daniel was referring. If that is true in your language, there are other possibilities for translation:

Express respect for the man in authority in a way that is natural in your language.

1:12b

Let us be given only vegetables to eat and water to drink.

Let us be given only vegetables to eat and water to drink: The Hebrew verb that the BSB translates as Let us be given is passive. There are two ways to translate this:

Let us be given only vegetables…and water: The Hebrew text is more literally “Give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.” The BSB has supplied the word only. The young men did not want to eat any meat or drink any wine. So Daniel asked the guard not to give them any. In some languages it may be natural to say:

Give us nothing but vegetables…and water

Do not give us anything except vegetables…and water

vegetables to eat: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as vegetables is related to the Hebrew word for “seed.” Here it probably refers generally to plants that people grow, including grains, beans, and lentils. It is good to translate this with a general expression referring to plant-based foods.

In some languages it may be natural to express the verbs to eat and “to drink” by saying:

Give us no food except plants/vegetables and no drink except water.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:12 vegetables and water: Such a diet would steer clear of offensive foods (1:8) and, as a kind of fast, would demonstrate mourning over their exile in a foreign land.
