4 G2532 And G3588 the G5001.2 tacticians G2532 and G3588 the G4568.2 satraps G2212 sought G4392 an excuse G2147 to find something G2596 against G* Daniel; G2532 and G3956 any G4392 excuse, G2532 or G3900 transgression, G2532 or G290.1 error G3756 they did not G2147 find G2596 against G1473 him, G3754 for G4103 he was trustworthy. G1510.7.3

5 G2532 And G2036 [³said G3588 ¹the G5001.2 ²tacticians], G3756 We did not find G2147 G2596 against G* Daniel G4392 an excuse G1508 unless it be G1722 in G3544.1 the laws G2316 of his God. G1473

6 G5119 Then G3588 the G5001.2 tacticians, G2532 and G3588 the G4568.2 satraps G3936 stood beside G3588 the G935 king. G2532 And G2036 they said G1473 to him, G* O king Darius, G935 G1519 [²into G3588 ³the G165 ⁴eons G2198 ¹live]!

7 G4823 [⁵took counsel G3956 ¹All G3588 ²the ones G1909 ³over G3588 G932 ⁴your kingdom] -- G1473 G4755 the commandants, G2532 and G4568.2 satraps, G5225.1 the supreme leaders, G2532 and G5116.1 toparchs, G3588 G2476 to establish G4714 [²position G937 ¹a royal], G2532 and G1765 to strengthen G3725.1 an enactment, G3704 so that G3739 whoever G1437 G154 should ask G155 a request G3844 from G3956 any G2316 god G2532 or G444 man, G2193 for G2250 [²days G5144 ¹thirty], G237.1 except G3844 from G1473 you, G935 O king, G1685 shall be put G1519 into G3588 the G2978.1 pit G3588 of the G3023 lions.

8 G3568 Now G3767 then, G935 O king, G2476 establish G3588 the G3725.1 enactment, G2532 and G1620 display G1124 in writing G3704 how G3361 [⁶should not G241.3 ⁷be changed G3588 ¹the G1378 ²decree G* ³of the Persians G2532 ⁴and G* ⁵Medes]!

9 G5119 Then G3588 G935 king G* Darius G2004 gave orders G1125 to write G3588 the G1378 decree.

10 G2532 And G* when Daniel G2259 G1097 knew G3754 that G1778.1 [³was arranged G3588 ¹the G1378 ²decree], G1525 he went G1519 into G3588 G3624 his house, G1473 G2532 and G3588 the G2376 windows G455 were open G1473 to him G1722 in G3588 G5253 his upper rooms G1473 G2713 before G* Jerusalem. G2532 And G2540 [²times G5140 ¹three] G3588 of the G2250 day G1510.7.3 he was G2578 bending G1909 upon G3588 G1119 his knees, G1473 G2532 and G4336 praying, G2532 and G1843 making acknowledgment G1726 before G3588 G2316 his God, G1473 G2531 as G1510.7.3 he was G4160 doing G1715 before.

11 G5119 Then G3588 G435 those men G1565 G3906 closely watched, G2532 and G2147 they found G3588 G* Daniel G515 petitioning G2532 and G1189 beseeching G3588 G2316 his God. G1473

12 G2532 And G4334 coming forward, G3004 they say G3588 to the G935 king, G935 O king, G3756 did you not G3725.1 [²an enactment G5021 ¹order] G3704 so that G3956 every G444 man G3739 who G302 ever G154 should ask G3844 from G3956 any G2316 God G2532 or G444 man G155 a request G2193 unto G2250 [²days G5144 ¹thirty], G237.1 except G3844 from G1473 you, G935 O king, G1685 shall be put G1519 into G3588 the G2978.1 pit G3588 G3023 of lions? G2532 And G2036 [³said G3588 ¹the G935 ²king], G228 [³ is true G3588 ¹The G3056 ²word], G2532 and G3588 the G1378 decree G* of the Medes G2532 and G* Persians G3756 shall not G3928 pass.

13 G5119 Then G611 they responded, G2532 and G3004 they spoke G1799 before G3588 the G935 king, saying, G* Daniel, G3739 the one G575 from G3588 the G5207 sons G3588 of the G161 captivity G3588 G* of Judea G3756 was not G5293 submitted G3588 to G1378 your decree; G1473 G2532 and G2540 [²times G5140 ¹three] G3588 of the G2250 day G154 he asks G3844 of G3588 G2316 his God G1473 G3588 the G155 requests G1473 of his.

4 H116 Then H5632 the presidents H324 and princes H1934 H1156 [H8754] sought H7912 [H8682] to find H5931 occasion H1841 against Daniel H6655 concerning H4437 the kingdom; H3606 but H3202 [H8750] they could H7912 [H8682] find H3809 no H5931 occasion H3809 nor H7844 [H8752] fault; H6903 forasmuch H540 [H8683] as he was faithful, H3809 neither H3606 was there any H7960 error H7844 [H8752] or fault H7912 [H8728] found H5922 in him.

5 H116 Then H560 [H8750] said H479 these H1400 men, H3809 We shall not H7912 [H8684] find H3606 any H5931 occasion H5922 against H1836 this H1841 Daniel, H3861 except H7912 [H8681] we find H1882 it against him concerning the law H426 of his God.

6 H116 Then H459 these H5632 presidents H324 and princes H7284 [H8684] assembled H4430 to the king, H560 [H8750] and said H3652 thus H5922 to him, H4430 King H1868 Darius, H2418 [H8747] live H5957 for ever.

7 H3606 All H5632 the presidents H4437 of the kingdom, H5460 the governors, H324 and the princes, H1907 the counsellors, H6347 and the captains, H3272 [H8724] have consulted together H6966 [H8742] to establish H4430 a royal H7010 statute, H8631 [H8742] and to make a firm H633 decree, H1156 [H8748] that whoever shall ask H1159 a petition H4481 of H3606 any H426 god H606 or man H5705 for H8533 thirty H3118 days, H3861 except H4481 of thee, H4430 O king, H7412 [H8729] he shall be cast H1358 into the den H744 of lions.

8 H3705 Now, H4430 O king, H6966 [H8681] establish H633 the decree, H7560 [H8748] and sign H3792 the writing, H3809 that it may not be H8133 [H8682] changed, H1882 according to the law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians, H5709 [H8748] which altereth H3809 not.

9 H3606 H1836 H6903 Therefore H4430 king H1868 Darius H7560 [H8754] signed H3792 the writing H633 and the decree.

10 H1841 Now when Daniel H3046 [H8754] knew H3792 that the writing H7560 [H8752] was signed, H5954 [H8754] he went H1005 into his house; H3551 and his windows H6606 [H8759] being open H5952 in his chamber H5049 toward H3390 Jerusalem, H1289 [H8750] he kneeled H5922 upon H1291 his knees H8532 three H2166 times H3118 a day, H6739 [H8743] and prayed, H3029 [H8683] and gave thanks H6925 before H426 his God, H6903 H3606 as H1934 H5648 [H8754] he did H4481 H1836 H6928 before.

11 H116 Then H479 these H1400 men H7284 [H8684] assembled, H7912 [H8684] and found H1841 Daniel H1156 [H8750] praying H2604 [H8723] and making supplication H6925 before H426 his God.

12 H116 Then H7127 [H8754] they came near, H560 [H8750] and spoke H6925 before H4430 the king H5922 concerning H4430 the king's H633 decree; H3809 Hast thou not H7560 [H8754] signed H633 a decree, H3606 that every H606 man H1156 [H8748] that shall ask H4481 a petition of H3606 any H426 god H606 or man H5705 within H8533 thirty H3118 days, H3861 except H4481 of thee, H4430 O king, H7412 [H8729] shall be cast H1358 into the den H744 of lions? H4430 The king H6032 [H8750] answered H560 [H8750] and said, H4406 The thing H3330 is true, H1882 according to the law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians, H5709 [H8748] which altereth H3809 not.

13 H116 Then H6032 [H8754] they answered H560 [H8750] and said H6925 before H4430 the king, H1841 That Daniel, H4481 who is of H1123 the children H1547 of the captivity H3061 of Judah, H7761 H2942 [H8754] regardeth H3809 not H5922 thee, H4430 O king, H633 nor the decree H7560 [H8754] that thou hast signed, H1156 [H8750] but maketh H1159 his petition H8532 three H2166 times H3118 a day.

Clementine_Vulgate⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Porro rex cogitabat constituere eum super omne regnum: unde principes, et satrapæ quærebant occasionem ut invenirent Danieli ex latere regis: nullamque causam, et suspicionem reperire potuerunt, eo quod fidelis esset, et omnis culpa, et suspicio non inveniretur in eo. ⁵ Dixerunt ergo viri illi: Non inveniemus Danieli huic aliquam occasionem, nisi forte in lege Dei sui. ⁶ Tunc principes et satrapæ surripuerunt regi, et sic locuti sunt ei: Dari rex, in æternum vive! ⁷ consilium inierunt omnes principes regni tui, magistratus, et satrapæ, senatores, et judices, ut decretum imperatorium exeat, et edictum: ut omnis, qui petierit aliquam petitionem a quocumque deo et homine usque ad triginta dies, nisi a te, rex, mittatur in lacum leonum. ⁸ Nunc itaque rex, confirma sententiam, et scribe decretum: ut non immutetur quod statutum est a Medis et Persis, nec prævaricari cuiquam liceat. ⁹ Porro rex Darius proposuit edictum, et statuit. ¹⁰ Quod cum Daniel comperisset, id est, constitutam legem, ingressus est domum suam: et fenestris apertis in cœnaculo suo contra Jerusalem tribus temporibus in die flectebat genua sua, et adorabat, confitebaturque coram Deo suo sicut et ante facere consueverat. ¹¹ Viri ergo illi curiosius inquirentes invenerunt Danielem orantem, et obsecrantem Deum suum. ¹² Et accedentes locuti sunt regi super edicto: Rex, numquid non constituisti ut omnis homo qui rogaret quemquam de diis et hominibus usque ad dies triginta, nisi te, rex, mitteretur in lacum leonum?

Wycliffe⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Certis the kyng thouyte to ordeyne hym on al the rewme. Wherfor princes and duikis souyten to fynde occasioun to Danyel, of the side of the kyng; and thei miyten fynde no cause and suspicioun, for he was feithful, and no blame and suspicioun was foundun in hym. ⁵ Therfor tho men seiden, We schulen not fynde ony occasioun to this Danyel, no but in hap in the lawe of his God. ⁶ Thanne the princes and duykis maden fals suggestioun to the kyng, and spaken thus to hym, Kyng Darius, lyue thou with onten ende. ⁷ Alle the princes of thi rewme, and magistratis, and duykis, senatours, and iugis, han maad a counsel, that a decree and comaundement of the emperour go out, that ech man that axith ony axyng of what euer god and man, til to thretti daies, no but of thee, thou kyng, he be sent in to the lake of liouns. ⁸ Now therfor, kyng, conferme thou the sentence, and write thou the decree, that this that is ordeyned of Medeis and Perseis be not chaungid, nethir be it leueful to ony man to breke. ⁹ Forsothe Darius, the kyng, settide forth, and confermyde the decree. ¹⁰ And whanne Danyel hadde founde this thing, that is, the lawe ordeyned, he entride in to his hous; and the while the wyndows weren open in his soler ayens Jerusalem, in thre tymes in the dai he bowide hise knees, and worschipide, and knoulechide bifore his God, as he was wont to do bifore. ¹¹ Therfor tho men enqueriden ful bisili, and founden Danyel preiynge, and bisechynge his God. ¹² And thei neiyiden and spaken to the kyng of the comaundement, Kyng, whether thou ordeynedist not, that ech man that axide ony of goddis and of men, til to thretti daies, no but thee, thou kyng, he schulde be sent in to the lake of liouns? To whiche men the kyng answeride, and seide, The word is soth, bi the decree of Medeis and Perseis, which it is not leueful to breke. ¹³ Thanne thei answeriden, and seiden bifore the kyng, Danyel, of the sones of caitifte of Juda, reckide not of thi lawe, and of the comaundement, which thou ordeynedist, but thre tymes bi the dai he preieth in his bisechyng.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Wherfore the prynces and lordes sought, to pyke out in Daniel some quarel agaynst the kyngdome: yet coude they fynde none occasion ner fawte vpon him. For why: he was so faythful, yt there was no blame ner dishonesty founde in him. ⁵ Then sayde these men: we will get no quarell agaynst this Daniel, excepte it be in the lawe off his God. ⁶ Vpon this, wente the princes and lordes together vnto the kynge, and sayde thus vnto him: kynge Darius, God saue thy life for euer. ⁷ All the great estates off the realme: as ye prynces, dukes, senatours and iudges, are determed to put out a commaundement off ye kynge, and to make a sure statute: namely, that who so desyreth eny peticion, ether of eny god or man (with in this xxx. dayes) excepte it be only off the, O kynge: the same person maye be cast in to the Lyons denne. ⁸ Wherfore, o kynge, confirme thou this statute, and make a writynge: that the thynge which the Medes and Perses haue ordened be not altered ner broken. ⁹ So Darius made the wrytynge, and confirmed it. ¹⁰ Now when Daniel vnderstode that the wrytynge was made, he wente in to his house: and the wyndowes of his hall towarde Ierusalem stode open. There kneled he downe vpon his knees, thre tymes a daye: there he made his peticion, and praysed his God, like as his maner was to do afore tyme. ¹¹ Then these men made searche, and founde Daniel makynge his peticion, and prayenge vnto his God. ¹² So they came to the kynge, and spake before him concernynge his commaundement, sayenge: O kynge, hast thou not subscribed the statute, that within xxx. dayes who so requyreth his peticion off eny god or man, but only of thy self, o kynge: he shalbe cast in to the denne of the Lyons? The kynge answered, ad sayde: yee, it is true. It must be as a lawe of ye Medes and Perses, that maye not be broken. ¹³ Then answered they, and sayde vnto the kynge: Daniel one of the presoners of Iuda (O kynge) regardeth nether the ner thy statute, that thou hast made, but maketh his peticion thre tymes a daye.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Wherefore the princes and lords sought to pick out in Daniel some quarrel against the kingdom: yet could they find none occasion nor fault upon him. For why? He was so faithful, that there was no blame nor dishonesty found in him. ⁵ Then said these men, "We will get no quarrel against this Daniel, except it be in the law of his God." ⁶ Upon this, went the princes and lords together unto the king, and said thus unto him, "King Darius, God save thy life forever. ⁷ All the great estates of the realm - as the princes, dukes, senators and judges - are determined to put out a commandment of the king, and to make a sure statute. Namely, that whoso desireth any petition, either of any god or man within this thirty days, except it be only of thee, O king: the same person may be cast into the lions' den. ⁸ Wherefore, O king, confirm thou this statute, and make a writing: that the thing which the Medes and Persians have ordained be not altered nor broken." ⁹ So Darius made the writing, and confirmed it. ¹⁰ Now when Daniel understood that the writing was made, he went into his house: and the windows of his hall toward Jerusalem stood open. There kneeled he down upon his knees, three times a day: there he made his petition, and praised his God, like as his manner was to do afore time. ¹¹ Then these men made search, and found Daniel making his petition and praying unto his God. ¹² So they came to the king, and spake before him concerning his commandment, saying, "O king, hast thou not subscribed the statute, that within thirty days whoso requireth his petition of any god or man, but only of thyself, O king, he shall be cast into the den of the lions?" The king answered, and said, "It is true. It must be as a law of the Medes and Persians, that may not be broken." ¹³ Then answered they, and said unto the king, "Daniel one of the prisoners of Judah, O king, regardeth neither thee nor thy statute that thou hast made, but maketh his petition three times a day."

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Wherfore the Prynces and Lordes soughte, to pycke oute in Danyel some quarell agaynst the kyngdom: yet coulde they fynde none occasyon nor faute vpon hym. For why? he was so faythful, that there was no blame nor dyshonestye founde in hym. ⁵ Then sayde these men: we wil get no quarell agaynste thys Daniel, excepte it be in the lawe of hys God. ⁶ Vpon this, wente the princes and Lordes together vnto the kynge, and sayde thus vnto him: king Darius God saue thy lyfe for euer. ⁷ All the greate estates of the realme: as the princes, Dukes, Senatours, and iudges, are determed to put oute a commaundement of the kinge, and to make a sure statute: namely, that who so desireth any peticyon, ether of any god, or man (within this .xxx. dayes) excepte it be onlye of the, O kinge: the same person may be cast into the lions denne. ⁸ Wherfore, O kynge, confirme thou this statute, and make a wryttynge, that the thynge which the Medes and Perses haue ordeyned be not altered nor broken. ⁹ So Darius made the writtinge, and confirmed it. ¹⁰ Now when Daniel vnderstode that the writtinge was made, he wente into hys house: and the windowes of hys hall toward Ierusalem stode open. There kneled he doune vpon his knees, thre tymes a daye: there he made his peticion, and praysed his God, like as hys maner was to do afore tyme. ¹¹ Then these men made searche, and founde Daniel makinge his petycyon and prayinge vnto his God. ¹² So they came to the kynge, & spake before him concerninge his commaundement sayinge: O kinge, hast thou not subscribed the statute, that within .xxx. daies who so requireth hys petycyon of any God or man but onely of thy selfe, O kinge: he shalbe cast into the denne of the lyons? The kinge answered, and sayd: ye, it is true. It must be as a lawe of the Medes and Perses, that maye not be broken. ¹³ Then answered they, and sayde vnto the kynge: Daniel one of the presoners of Iuda, O kynge, regardeth neyther the, nor thy statute, that thou hast made, but maketh his peticion thre tymes a day.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Wherfore the Princes and Lordes sought, to pycke out in Daniel some quarell agaynst the kyngdome: yet coulde they fynde none occasyon ner faute vpon hym. For whyche was so faythfull, that there was no blame ner dishonesty founde in hym. ⁵ Then sayde these men: we wyll get no quarell agaynst thys Daniel, excepte it be in the lawe of hys God. ⁶ Upon this, wente the prynces & Lordes together vnto the kinge, & sayde thus vnto hym: kynge Darius, God saue thy lyfe for euer. ⁷ All the greate estates of the realme: as the Prynces, Dukes, Senatours and Iudges, are determed to put oute a commaundement of the kynge, & to make a sure statute: namely, that whoso desyreth any peticyon, ether of any God or man (within this .xxx. dayes) excepte it be onely of the, O kynge: the same person may be cast into the Lyons denne. ⁸ Wherfore, O kyng, confyrme thou this statute, and make a wrytinge: that the thing which the Medes and Perses haue ordeyned be not altered ner broken. ⁹ So Darius made the wrytinge, and confyrmed it. ¹⁰ Nowe when Daniel vnderstode that the wrytinge was made, he wente into hys house: and the windowes of his wall towarde Ierusalem stode open. There kneled he downe vpon hys knees, thre tymes a daye: there he made hys peticyon, and praysed hys God, lyke as hys maner was to do afore tyme. ¹¹ Then these men made searche, and founde Daniel makynge hys peticyon, & prayinge vnto hys God. ¹² So they came to the kynge, & spake before him concernynge his commaundement, sayinge: O kyng, hast thou not subscribed the statute, that within .xxx. dayes who so requyreth his peticion of any God or man but onely of thy selfe, O kynge: he shalbe cast into the denne of the Lyons? The kynge answered, and sayde: yee, it is true. It must be as a lawe of the Medes & Perses, that maye not be broken. ¹³ Then answered they, and sayde vnto the kynge: Daniel one of the presoners of Iuda O kyng, regardeth nether the, ner thy statute, that thou hast made, but maketh his peticyon thre tymes a daye.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ And the king thought to set him over all the kingdom; whereupon the princes, and the governors, sought to find occasion against Daniel, with regard to the king: and they could find no cause, nor suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault, nor suspicion was found in him. ⁵ Then these men said: We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless perhaps concerning the law of his God. ⁶ Then the princes, and the governors, craftily suggested to the king, and spoke thus unto him: King Darius, live for ever: ⁷ All the princes of the kingdom, the magistrates, and governors, the senators, and judges, have consulted together, that an imperial decree, and an edict be published: That whosoever shall ask any petition of any god, or man, for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of the lions. ⁸ Now, therefore, O king, confirm the sentence, and sign the decree: that what is decreed by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor any man be allowed to transgress it. ⁹ So king Darius set forth the decree, and established it. ¹⁰ Now, when Daniel knew this, that is to say, that the law was made, he went into his house: and opening the windows in his upper chamber towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and adored and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do before. ¹¹ Wherefore those men carefully watching him, found Daniel praying and making supplication to his God. ¹² And they came and spoke to the king concerning the edict: O king, hast thou not decreed, that every man that should make a request to any of the gods, or men, for thirty days, but to thyself, O king, should be cast into the den of the lions? And the king answered them, saying: The word is true, according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, which it is not lawful to violate. ¹³ Then they answered, and said before the king: Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Juda, hath not regarded thy law, nor the decree that thou hast made: but three times a day he maketh his prayer.

4 H116 Then H5632 the presidents H324 and princes H1934 sought [H8754] H1156 [H8750] H7912 to find [H8682] H5931 occasion H1841 against Daniel H6655 concerning H4437 the kingdom H3606 ; but H3202 they could [H8750] H7912 find [H8682] H3809 none H5931 occasion H3809 nor H7844 fault [H8752] H6903 ; forasmuch H540 as he was faithful [H8683] H3809 , neither H3606 was there any H7960 error H7844 or fault [H8752] H7912 found [H8728] H5922 in him.

5 H116 Then H560 said [H8750] H479 these H1400 men H3809 , We shall not H7912 find [H8684] H3606 any H5931 occasion H5922 against H1836 this H1841 Daniel H3861 , except H7912 we find [H8681] H1882 it against him concerning the law H426 of his God.

6 H116 Then H459 these H5632 presidents H324 and princes H7284 assembled together [H8684] H4430 to the king H560 , and said [H8750] H3652 thus H5922 unto him H4430 , King H1868 Darius H2418 , live [H8747] H5957 for ever.

7 H3606 All H5632 the presidents H4437 of the kingdom H5460 , the governors H324 , and the princes H1907 , the counsellors H6347 , and the captains H3272 , have consulted together [H8724] H6966 to establish [H8742] H4430 a royal H7010 statute H8631 , and to make a firm [H8742] H633 decree H1156 , that whosoever shall ask [H8748] H1159 a petition H4481 of H3606 any H426 God H606 or man H5705 for H8533 thirty H3118 days H3861 , save H4481 of thee H4430 , O king H7412 , he shall be cast [H8729] H1358 into the den H744 of lions.

8 H3705 Now H4430 , O king H6966 , establish [H8681] H633 the decree H7560 , and sign [H8748] H3792 the writing H3809 , that it be not H8133 changed [H8682] H1882 , according to the law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians H5709 , which altereth [H8748] H3809 not.

9 H3606 Wherefore H1836 H6903 H4430 king H1868 Darius H7560 signed [H8754] H3792 the writing H633 and the decree.

10 H1841 Now when Daniel H3046 knew [H8754] H3792 that the writing H7560 was signed [H8752] H5954 , he went [H8754] H1005 into his house H3551 ; and his windows H6606 being open [H8759] H5952 in his chamber H5049 toward H3390 Jerusalem H1289 , he kneeled [H8750] H5922 upon H1291 his knees H8532 three H2166 times H3118 a day H6739 , and prayed [H8743] H3029 , and gave thanks [H8683] H6925 before H426 his God H6903 , as H3606 H1934 he did [H8754] H5648 [H8751] H4481 aforetime H1836 H6928 .

11 H116 Then H479 these H1400 men H7284 assembled [H8684] H7912 , and found [H8684] H1841 Daniel H1156 praying [H8750] H2604 and making supplication [H8723] H6925 before H426 his God.

12 H116 Then H7127 they came near [H8754] H560 , and spake [H8750] H6925 before H4430 the king H5922 concerning H4430 the king's H633 decree H3809 ; Hast thou not H7560 signed [H8754] H633 a decree H3606 , that every H606 man H1156 that shall ask [H8748] H4481 a petition of H3606 any H426 God H606 or man H5705 within H8533 thirty H3118 days H3861 , save H4481 of thee H4430 , O king H7412 , shall be cast [H8729] H1358 into the den H744 of lions H4430 ? The king H6032 answered [H8750] H560 and said [H8750] H4406 , The thing H3330 is true H1882 , according to the law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians H5709 , which altereth [H8748] H3809 not.

13 H116 Then H6032 answered [H8754] H560 they and said [H8750] H6925 before H4430 the king H1841 , That Daniel H4481 , which is of H1123 the children H1547 of the captivity H3061 of Judah H7761 , regardeth [H8754] H2942 H3809 not H5922 thee H4430 , O king H633 , nor the decree H7560 that thou hast signed [H8754] H1156 , but maketh [H8750] H1159 his petition H8532 three H2166 times H3118 a day.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ therefore the ministers and the governors sought to find some pretext against Daniel. And when they found no pretext, lapse or crime with which to charge him, for he was faithful; ⁵ the ministers said, We shall not find any pretext against Daniel except in the ceremonies relating to his God. ⁶ Then the ministers and the governors waited on the king, and said to him, King Darius live forever! ⁷ All that are over thy kingdom, the generals and governors, the chief commanders and toparchs have joined in opinion to establish by a royal statute and make a firm decree, that whoever shall make any request of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee only, king; he shall be cast into the den of the lions. ⁸ Now therefore, king, establish the edict and promulgate it in writing, that the decree of the Persians and Medes may not be dispensed with. ⁹ Upon this Darius the king ordered the decree to be written. ¹⁰ Now when Daniel knew that the decree was passed, he went home and the windows in his upper chamber towards Jerusalem were opened for him, and three times a day, kneeling down on his knees, he prayed and gave thanks before his God as he had done heretofore. ¹¹ Now those men watched and having found Daniel praising and supplicating his God, ¹² they went and said to the king, king, hast thou not passed an edict, that every man who shall make any request of any god or man for the space of thirty days save of thee only, king, shall be cast into the den of the lions? And the king said, It is true; and the decree of the Medes and Persians cannot be altered. ¹³ Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel, who is one of the captives from Juda, hath not paid obedience to thy decree. For three times a day he maketh requests of his God.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ (6:3)Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. ⁵ (6:4)Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. ⁶ (6:5)Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God. ⁷ (6:6)Then these presidents and princes assembled to the king, and said thus to him, King Darius, live for ever. ⁸ (6:7)All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counselors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. ⁹ (6:8)Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. ¹⁰ (6:9)Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree. ¹¹ (6:10)Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber towards Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before. ¹² (6:11)Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. ¹³ (6:12)Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

8 H3705 Now H4430 , O king H6966 [H8681] , establish H633 the decree H7560 [H8748] , and sign H3792 the writing H3809 , that it may not be H8133 [H8682] changed H1882 , according to the law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians H5709 [H8748] , which altereth H3809 not.

9 H3606 H1836 H6903 Therefore H4430 king H1868 Darius H7560 [H8754] signed H3792 the writing H633 and the decree.

10 H1841 Now when Daniel H3046 [H8754] knew H3792 that the writing H7560 [H8752] was signed H5954 [H8754] , he went H1005 into his house H3551 ; and his windows H6606 [H8759] being open H5952 in his chamber H5049 toward H3390 Jerusalem H1289 [H8750] , he kneeled H5922 upon H1291 his knees H8532 three H2166 times H3118 a day H6739 [H8743] , and prayed H3029 [H8683] , and gave thanks H6925 before H426 his God H6903 H3606 , as H1934 H5648 [H8754] he did H4481 H1836 H6928 before.

12 H116 Then H7127 [H8754] they came near H560 [H8750] , and spoke H6925 before H4430 the king H5922 concerning H4430 the king's H633 decree H3809 ; Hast thou not H7560 [H8754] signed H633 a decree H3606 , that every H606 man H1156 [H8748] that shall ask H4481 a petition of H3606 any H426 god H606 or man H5705 within H8533 thirty H3118 days H3861 , except H4481 of thee H4430 , O king H7412 [H8729] , shall be cast H1358 into the den H744 of lions H4430 ?

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the governors and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel; but they found against him no occasion, nor trespass, nor error, because he was faithful. ⁵ And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God. ⁶ Then the governors and satraps stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live for ever. ⁷ All who preside over thy kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statue and to confirm a decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions. ⁸ Now then, O king, establish the decree, and publish a writ, that the decree of the Persians and Medes be not changed. ⁹ Then king Darius commanded the decree to be written. ¹⁰ And when Daniel knew that the decree was ordered, he went into his house; and his windows were opened in his chambers toward Jerusalem, and three times in the day he knelt upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he used to do before. ¹¹ Then these men watched, and found Daniel praying and supplicating to his God. ¹² And they came and said to the king, O king, has thou not made a decree, that whatsoever man shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? And the king said, The word is true, and the decree of the Medes and Persians shall not pass. ¹³ Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judea, has not submitted to thy decree; and three times in the day he makes his requests of his God.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ ^(6:5) Then sought the presidents and lieutenants to find a pretext against Daniel on account of the management of the kingdom; but they were not able to find any pretext or fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, and no kind of error or fault was to be found on him. ⁵ ^(6:6) Then said these men, We shall not find any pretext against this Daniel, except we find it against him in the law of his God. ⁶ ^(6:7) Then came these presidents and lieutenants tumultuously to the king, and thus said they unto him, King Darius, live for ever. ⁷ ^(6:8) All the presidents of the kingdom, the superintendents, and the lieutenants, the counsellors, and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm prohibition, that whosoever will ask any thing by prayer of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions. ⁸ ^(6:9) Now, O king, establish the prohibition, and sign the writing, that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which is not to be repealed. ⁹ ^(6:10) In view of this king Darius signed the writing and the prohibition. ¹⁰ ^(6:11) Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went up unto his house, where he had open windows in his upper chamber in the direction of Jerusalem; and three times every day he kneeled upon his knees, and prayed, and offered thanks before his God, as he had been doing before that time. ¹¹ ^(6:12) Then came in these men tumultuously, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. ¹² ^(6:13) Then came they near, and spoke before the king concerning the king’s prohibition, Hast thou not signed a prohibition, that every man that will pray for aught of any God or man, within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is certainly so, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot he repealed. ¹³ ^(6:14) Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the exiles of Judah, hath paid no regard to thee, O king, nor to the prohibition which thou hast signed; but three times every day he offereth up his prayer.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the presidents and satraps have been seeking to find a cause of complaint against Daniel concerning the kingdom, and any cause of complaint and corruption they are not able to find, because that he is faithful, and any error and corruption have not been found in him. ⁵ Then these men are saying, `We do not find against this Daniel any cause of complaint, except we have found it against him in the law of his God.'

4 H116 Then H5632 the presidents H324 and the satraps H1934 sought H7912 to find H5931 occasion H1841 against Daniel H6655 as touching H4437 the kingdom; H3606 but H3202 they could H7912 find H3809 no H5931 occasion H3809 nor H7844 fault, H6903 forasmuch H540 as he was faithful, H3809 neither H3606 was there any H7960 error H7844 or fault H7912 found H5922 in him.

5 H116 Then H560 said H479 these H1400 men, H3809 We shall not H7912 find H3606 any H5931 occasion H5922 against H1836 this H1841 Daniel, H3861 except H7912 we find H1882 it against him concerning the law H426 of his God.

6 H116 Then H459 these H5632 presidents H324 and satraps H7284 assembled together H4430 to the king, H560 and said H3652 thus H5922 unto him, H4430 King H1868 Darius, H2418 live H5957 for ever.

7 H3606 All H5632 the presidents H4437 of the kingdom, H5460 the deputies H324 and the satraps, H1907 the counsellors H6347 and the governors, H3272 have consulted together H6966 to establish H4430 a royal H7010 statute, H8631 and to make a strong H633 interdict, H1156 that whosoever shall ask H1159 a petition H4481 of H3606 any H426 god H606 or man H5705 for H8533 thirty H3118 days, H3861 save H4481 of thee, H4430 O king, H7412 he shall be cast H1358 into the den H744 of lions.

8 H3705 Now, H4430 O king, H6966 establish H633 the interdict, H7560 and sign H3792 the writing, H3809 that it be not H8133 changed, H1882 according to the law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians, H5709 which altereth H3809 not.

9 H1836 Wherefore H4430 king H1868 Darius H7560 signed H3792 the writing H633 and the interdict.

10 H1841 And when Daniel H3046 knew H3792 that the writing H7560 was signed, H5954 he went H1005 into his house H3551 (now his windows H6606 were open H5952 in his chamber H5049 toward H3390 Jerusalem) H1289 and he kneeled H5922 upon H1291 his knees H8532 three H2166 times H3118 a day, H6739 and prayed, H3029 and gave thanks H6925 before H426 his God, H6903 as H1934 he did H1836 aforetime.

11 H116 Then H479 these H1400 men H7284 assembled H7912 together, and found H1841 Daniel H1156 making petition H2604 and supplication H6925 before H426 his God.

12 H116 Then H7127 they came near, H560 and spake H6925 before H4430 the king H5922 concerning H4430 the king's H633 interdict: H3809 Hast thou not H7560 signed H633 an interdict, H3606 that every H606 man H1156 that shall make H4481 petition unto H3606 any H426 god H606 or man H5705 within H8533 thirty H3118 days, H3861 save H4481 unto thee, H4430 O king, H7412 shall be cast H1358 into the den H744 of lions?

13 H116 Then H6032 answered H560 they and said H6925 before H4430 the king, H1841 That Daniel, H4481 who is of H1123 the children H1547 of the captivity H3061 of Judah, H7761 regardeth H3809 not H5922 thee, H4430 O king, H633 nor the interdict H7560 that thou hast signed, H1156 but maketh H1159 his petition H8532 three H2166 times H3118 a day.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ (6:5) Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. ⁵ (6:6) Then said these men: 'We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him in the matter of the law of his God.' ⁶ (6:7) Then these presidents and satraps came tumultuously to the king, and said thus unto him: 'King Darius, live for ever! ⁷ (6:8) All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the ministers and the governors, have consulted together that the king should establish a statute, and make a strong interdict, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. ⁸ (6:9) Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.' ⁹ (6:10) Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict. ¹⁰ (6:11) And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house - now his windows were open in his upper chamber toward Jerusalem - and he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. ¹¹ (6:12) Then these men came tumultuously, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God. ¹² (6:13) Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's interdict: 'Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every man that shall make petition unto any god or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?' The king answered and said: 'The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.' ¹³ (6:14) Then answered they and said before the king: 'That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.'

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then, the ministers and the satraps, began seeking to find, occasion, against Daniel, in respect of the kingdom,––but, no occasion nor wickedness, could they find, inasmuch as, faithful, was he, and, neither error nor wickedness, could be found against him. ⁵ Then, these men, were saying, We shall not find against this Daniel, any occasion; unless we find it against him in respect of the law of his God.
⁶ Then, these ministers and satraps, crowded together unto the king,––and, thus, were saying to him, O Darius the king! for ages, live! ⁷ All the ministers of the kingdom, the nobles and satraps, the near friends and the pashas, have consulted together, to establish a royal statute, and to confirm an interdict,––That, whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man, for thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions. ⁸ Now, O king! wilt thou establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it may not be changed––according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be abolished, ⁹ Wherefore, King Darius, signed the writing and the interdict. ¹⁰ But, Daniel, when he knew that the writing, was signed, went to his own house, and, the windows being opened to him, in his chamber, toward Jerusalem, three times a day, was he kneeling upon his knees, and praying and giving thanks before his God, in like manner as he had been doing aforetime.
¹¹ Then, these men, crowded together, and found Daniel,––praying and making supplication, before his God. ¹² Then drew they near, and began to speak before the king, concerning the royal interdict, Didst thou not sign, an interdict, that, any man who should petition of any God or man, for thirty days, save of thee, O king, should be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, Certain is the thing––according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be abolished. ¹³ Then answered they and were saying before the king, Daniel, who is of the sons of the exile of Judah, hath made thee, O king, of none account, also the interdict which thou hast signed,––but, three times a day, is asking his petition.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the chancellors and satraps are seeking to find a pretext against Daniel in regard to the administration of the kingdom. Yet no pretext or corruption at all can they find, forasmuch as he is faithful, and no carelessness or corruption at all is found in him." ⁵ Then these masters are saying, "We will not find any pretext against this Daniel, unless in the edict of his Eloah we find it against him." ⁶ Then these chancellors and satraps foregather with the king, and thus they say to him, "King Darius, live for the eons!" ⁷ Counseling are all--the chancellors of the kingdom, the prefects and satraps, the retinue and the viceroys--to set up a royal statute and to issue a mighty interdict that everyone who is petitioning a petition from anyone--whether eloah or mortal--for thirty days, except only from you, O king, shall be heaved into the vault of the lions." ⁸ Now, O king, set up will you the interdict and sign the writing, that is not to be altered, as an edict of the Medes and Persians which shall not pass away." ⁹ Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict. ¹⁰ When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house. Now the windows were opened for him in his upper chamber toward Jerusalem. Thus at stated times, thrice in the day, is he kneeling on his knees and praying and acclaiming before his Eloah just as formerly--this he is doing." ¹¹ Then these masters foregather and find Daniel petitioning and supplicating before his Eloah. ¹² Then they draw near and are speaking before the king concerning the king's interdict, "Did you not sign an interdict that every mortal who is petitioning from anyone--whether eloah or mortal--for thirty days, except only from you, O king, shall be heaved into the vault of the lions?Answering is the king and saying, "Certain is the matter as an edict of the Medes and Persians which shall not pass away." ¹³ Then they respond and are saying before the king, "Daniel, who is of the sons of the deportation of Judah, does not promulgate for you, O king, the decree, the interdict that you signed:At stated times, thrice in the day, he is petitioning his petitions before his Eloah."

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the chief rulers and the captains were looking for some cause for putting Daniel in the wrong in connection with the kingdom, but they were unable to put forward any wrongdoing or error against him; because he was true, and no error or wrong was to be seen in him. ⁵ Then these men said, We will only get a reason for attacking Daniel in connection with the law of his God. ⁶ Then these chief rulers and the captains came to the king and said to him, O King Darius, have life for ever. ⁷ All the chief rulers of the kingdom, the chiefs and the captains, the wise men and the rulers, have made a common decision to put in force a law having the king's authority, and to give a strong order, that whoever makes any request to any god or man but you, O King, for thirty days, is to be put into the lions' hole. ⁸ Now, O King, put the order in force, signing the writing so that it may not be changed, like the law of the Medes and Persians which may not come to an end. ⁹ For this reason King Darius put his name on the writing and the order. ¹⁰ And Daniel, on hearing that the writing had been signed, went into his house; now he had windows in his room on the roof opening in the direction of Jerusalem; and three times a day he went down on his knees in prayer and praise before his God, as he had done before. ¹¹ Then these men were watching and saw Daniel making prayers and requesting grace before his God. ¹² Then they came near before the king and said, O King, have you not put your name to an order that any man who makes a request to any god or man but you, O King, for thirty days, is to be put into the lions' hole? The king made answer and said, The thing is fixed by the law of the Medes and Persians which may not come to an end. ¹³ Then they made answer and said before the king, Daniel, one of the prisoners of Judah, has no respect for you, O King, or for the order signed by you, but three times a day he makes his prayer to God.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the presidents and rulers sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom. But they could find no occasion or fault, because he was faithful. Neither was there any error or fault found in him. ⁵ Then these men said, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the Law of his God. ⁶ Then these presidents and rulers assembled to the king, and said this to him: King Darius, live forever. ⁷ All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, and the officials and governors, have planned together to establish a royal law, and to make a strong ban that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except from you, O king, he shall be thrown into the den of lions. ⁸ Now, O king, establish the ban and sign the writing, so that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians which cannot be changed. ⁹ Therefore King Darius signed the writing and the ban. ¹⁰ And when he had learned that the document was signed, Daniel went to his house. And his windows were open in his roof room toward Jerusalem; and he kneeled on his knees three times a day and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before. ¹¹ Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and confessing before his God. ¹² Then they came near and spoke before the king concerning the king's ban, Have you not signed a ban that every man who shall ask a petition of any god or man within thirty days, except of you, O king, shall be thrown into the lion's den?

He knelt on his knees three times in the day, and prayed and praised before his God, as he did before. ¹¹ Then these men met together and found Daniel praying and seeking mercy before his God. ¹² Then they came near and spoke before the king concerning the king's ban, saying, Have you not signed a ban that every man who shall ask of any god or man within thirty days, except of you, O king, that he shall be thrown into the lions' den?

DARYAVESH RAISES A BOND
Then the eunuchs and satraps seek to find a pretext against Dani El concerning the sovereigndom; but they can find no pretext or ruining because he is trustworthy; nor find any error or ruining in him. ⁵ Then these mighty say, We find not any pretext against this Dani El; except we find against him concerning the decree of his Elah. ⁶ Then these eunuchs and satraps conspire to the sovereign; and say thus to him, Sovereign Daryavesh, live eternally. ⁷ All the eunuchs of the sovereigndom the prefects and the satraps the counsellors and the governors consulted together to raise a royal statute and to empower an edict - that whoever requests a request of any Elah or man until thirty days, except of you, O sovereign, be hurled into the dugout of lions: ⁸ now, O sovereign, raise the bond, and sign the inscribing, that it not change, according to the decree of the Maday and Persians which passes not. ⁹ - so sovereign Daryavesh signs the inscribing and the bond. ¹⁰ And Dani El, knowing the inscribing is signed, enters into his house, opens his windows in his upper room toward Yeru Shalem, he kneels on his knees three appointments a day, and prays and spreads hands in front of his Elah, as he did formerly. ¹¹ Then these mighty conspire; and find Dani El requesting charism in front of his Elah: ¹² then they approach in front of the sovereign and say concerning the bond of the sovereign; Signed you not a bond, that every man who requests of any Elah or man until thirty days, except of you, O sovereign, be cast into the dugout of lions? The sovereign answers and says, The utterance is certain, according to the decree of the Maday and Persians which alters not. ¹³ Then they answer and say in front of the sovereign, That Dani El of the sons of the exile of Yah Hudah neither regards this taste to you, O sovereign, nor the decree you signed; but requests his request three appointments a day.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no occasion nor fault, inasmuch as he was faithful, nor was there any error or fault found in him. ⁵ Then these men said, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God. ⁶ Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus to him: King Darius, live forever. ⁷ All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. ⁸ Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter. ⁹ Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict. ¹⁰ And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem) and he knelt upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did formerly. ¹¹ Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God. ¹² Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's interdict. Have thou not signed an interdict, that every man who shall make petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter. ¹³ Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the sons of the captivity of Judah, does not regard thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.

4 H116 Then H5632 the presidents H324 and the satraps H1934 sought H7912 to find H5931 occasion H1841 against Daniel H6655 as touching H4437 the kingdom; H3606 but H3202 they could H7912 find H3809 no H5931 occasion H3809 nor H7844 fault, H6903 because H540 he was faithful, H3809 neither H3606 was there any H7960 error H7844 or fault H7912 found H5922 in him.

5 H116 Then H479 these H1400 men H560 said, H3809 We shall not H7912 find H3606 any H5931 occasion H5922 against H1836 this H1841 Daniel, H3861 except H7912 we find H1882 it against him concerning the law H426 of his God.

6 H116 Then H459 these H5632 presidents H324 and satraps H7284 assembled together H4430 to the king, H560 and said H3652 thus H5922 to him, H4430 King H1868 Darius, H2418 live H5957 forever.

7 H3606 All H5632 the presidents H4437 of the kingdom, H5460 the deputies H324 and the satraps, H1907 the counselors H6347 and the governors, H3272 have consulted together H6966 to establish H4430 a royal H7010 statute, H8631 and to make a strong H633 decree, H1156 that whoever shall ask H1159 a petition H4481 of H3606 any H426 god H606 or man H5705 for H8533 thirty H3118 days, H3861 except H4481 of you, H4430 O king, H7412 he shall be cast H1358 into the den H744 of lions.

8 H3705 Now, H4430 O king, H6966 establish H633 the decree, H7560 and sign H3792 the writing, H3809 that it not H8133 be changed, H1882 according to the law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians, H3809 which doesn't H5709 alter.

9 H1836 Therefore H4430 king H1868 Darius H7560 signed H3792 the writing H633 and the decree.

10 H1841 When Daniel H3046 knew H3792 that the writing H7560 was signed, H5954 he went H1005 into his house H3551 (now his windows H6606 were open H5952 in his room H5049 toward H3390 Jerusalem) H1289 and he kneeled H5922 on H1291 his knees H8532 three H2166 times H3118 a day, H6739 and prayed, H3029 and gave thanks H6925 before H426 his God, H6903 as H1934 he did H1836 before.

11 H116 Then H479 these H1400 men H7284 assembled H7912 together, and found H1841 Daniel H1156 making petition H2604 and supplication H6925 before H426 his God.

12 H116 Then H7127 they came near, H560 and spoke H6925 before H4430 the king H5922 concerning H4430 the king's H633 decree: H7560 Haven't you signed H633 an decree, H3606 that every H606 man H1156 who shall make H4481 petition to H3606 any H426 god H606 or man H5705 within H8533 thirty H3118 days, H3861 except H4481 to you, H4430 O king, H7412 shall be cast H1358 into the den H744 of lions? H4430 The king H6032 answered, H4406 The thing H3330 is true, H1882 according to the law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians, H3809 which doesn't H5709 alter.

13 H116 Then H6032 answered H560 they and said H6925 before H4430 the king, H1841 That Daniel, H4481 who is of H1123 the children H1547 of the captivity H3061 of Judah, H3809 doesn't H7761 respect H5922 you, H4430 O king, H633 nor the decree H7560 that you have signed, H1156 but makes H1159 his petition H8532 three H2166 times H3118 a day.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the administrators and the satraps sought to find a charge against Daniel regarding the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful.

"Haven't you signed a decree, that every man who shall make petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered, "The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed." ¹³ Then they answered and said before the king, "That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, doesn't regard you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."

AKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; for as much as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. ⁵ Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God. ⁶ Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus to him, King Darius, live for ever. ⁷ All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. ⁸ Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which alters not. ⁹ Why king Darius signed the writing and the decree. ¹⁰ Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. ¹¹ Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. ¹² Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree; Have you not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the presidents and governors looked for occasions against Daniel on behalf of the kingdom, but they could find no occasion or fault because he was faithful, and no vice nor fault was found in him. ⁵ Then these men said, We shall never find any occasion against this Daniel except we find it against him in the law of his God. ⁶ ¶ Then these governors and presidents assembled together before the king and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever. ⁷ All the presidents of the kingdom, magistrates, governors, great ones, and captains have agreed in common accord to promote a royal decree and to confirm it that whoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, except of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. ⁸ Now, O king, confirm the decree and sign the writing that it not be moved, according to the law of Media and of Persia, which does not change. ⁹ Therefore King Darius signed the writing and the decree. ¹⁰ Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he entered into his house; and with the windows open toward Jerusalem in his dining chamber, he knelt three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God as he was used to doing before. ¹¹ ¶ Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. ¹² Then they went and spoke before the king concerning the royal decree; Hast thou not confirmed a decree that whoever shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Media and Persia, which does not change. ¹³ Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the sons of the captivity of the Jews, has not regarded thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast confirmed, but makes his petition three times a day.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the governors and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel; but they found against him no occasion, nor trespass, nor error, because he was faithful. ⁵ And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God. ⁶ Then the governors and satraps stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live forever! ⁷ All who preside over your kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statute, and to confirm a decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except for you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions. ⁸ Now then, O king, establish the decree, and publish a writ, that the decree of the Persians and Medes may not be changed. ⁹ Then King Darius commanded the decree to be written. ¹⁰ And when Daniel knew that the decree was ordered, he went into his house. And his windows were opened in his chambers toward Jerusalem, and three times in the day he knelt upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he used to do before. ¹¹ Then these men watched, and found Daniel praying and making supplication to his God. ¹² And they came and said to the king, O king, have you not made a decree, that if any man shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except for you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? And the king said, The word is true, and the decree of the Medes and Persians shall not pass. ¹³ Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel of the sons of the captivity of Judah, has not submitted to your decree; and three times in the day he makes his requests of his God.

LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the governors and satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel; but they found against him no occasion, nor trespass, nor error, because he was faithful. ⁵ And the governors said, We shall not find occasion against Daniel, except in the ordinances of his God. ⁶ Then the governors and satraps stood by the king, and said to him, King Darius, live for ever. ⁷ All who preside over your kingdom, captains and satraps, chiefs and local governors, have taken counsel together, to establish by a royal statue and to confirm a decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions. ⁸ Now then, O king, establish the decree, and publish a writ, that the decree of the Persians and Medes be not changed. ⁹ Then king Darius commanded the decree to be written. ¹⁰ And when Daniel knew that the decree was ordered, he went into his house; and his windows were opened in his chambers toward Jerusalem, and three times in the day he knelt upon his knees, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he used to do before. ¹¹ Then these men watched, and found Daniel praying and supplicating to his God. ¹² And they came and said to the king, O king, has you not made a decree, that whatever man shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, but of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? And the king said, The word is true, and the decree of the Medes and Persians shall not pass. ¹³ Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel of the children of the captivity of Judea, has not submitted to your decree; and three times in the day he makes his requests of his God.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the commissioners and the governors sought to find a charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom. They could find no charge, nor error, nor fault, for he was faithful. ⁵ These men said: »We shall not find any charge against Daniel, unless we find it against him in the Law of his God.« ⁶ Then these commissioners and governors assembled before the king, and said: »King Darius, may you live for a very long time.« ⁷ »All the governors of the kingdom, the deputies and the governors, the counselors consulted together to establish a royal statute. They made a strong decree, that whoever prays to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be thrown into the den of lions. ⁸ »Now, O king, establish the decree by signing the document. That it will not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be altered. ⁹ King Darius signed the document for the decree.« ¹⁰ Daniel knew that the decree was signed. He went into his house. His windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem. He kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, like he did before. ¹¹ These men assembled together. They found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God. ¹² They approached the king about his decree: »Did you sign a decree stating that every man that shall make petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be thrown into the den of lions?« The king answered: »The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be altered.« ¹³ Then they said: »Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, does not show you respect, O king, nor the decree that you signed. He offers his prayer three times a day.«

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ A Plot to Destroy DanielBecause of this, the administrators and regional authorities tried to bring allegations of dereliction of duty in government affairs against Daniel, but they were unable to find any charges of corruption. Daniel was trustworthy, and no evidence of negligence or corruption could be found against him. ⁵ So these men said, “We’ll never find any basis for complaint against Daniel unless we build it on the requirements of his God.”
⁶ Then these administrators and regional authorities went as a group to the king and said this, “Your majesty, live forever! ⁷ All of the royal administrators, prefects, regional authorities, scribes, and governors have concluded that the king should establish and enforce an edict that anyone who prays to any god or man for the next 30 days (except to you, your majesty) is to be thrown into the lions’ pit. ⁸ Therefore, your majesty, establish the decree and sign the written document so it can’t be changed, in accordance with the laws of the Medes and Persians that can’t be repealed.” ⁹ So King Darius signed the edict contained in the written document.
¹⁰ Daniel is AccusedWhen Daniel learned that the written document had been signed, he went to an upstairs room in his house that had windows opened facing Jerusalem. Three times a day he would kneel down, pray, and give thanks to his God, just as he had previously done.
¹¹ The conspirators then went as a group and found Daniel praying and seeking help before his God. ¹² So they approached the king and asked, “Didn’t you sign an edict that for the next 30 days if anyone prays to any god or man, except to you, your majesty, he would be thrown into the lions’ pit?”
The king responded, “The decree has been established, in accordance with the laws of the Medes and Persians that can’t be repealed.”
¹³ Then they told the king, “Daniel, who is one of the Judean exiles, pays no attention to you, your majesty, or to the written decree, since he is still praying three times a day.”

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the other administrators and satraps _⌊began to seek_⌋* to find a pretext against Daniel _⌊in connection with the kingdom_⌋,* but they were not able to find any pretext and _⌊corruption_⌋* _⌊because_⌋* he was trustworthy, and no* negligence or _⌊corruption_⌋* _⌊could be found in him_⌋.* ⁵ Then these men _⌊said_⌋,* "We will not find any pretext* against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God." ⁶ So the administrators and the satraps conspired _⌊with respect to_⌋* the king and so they said to him, "Darius, O king, live _⌊forever_⌋!* ⁷ All of the administrators of the kingdom, and the prefects, the satraps, the counselors and the governors took counsel and have agreed to establish an edict of the king and to enforce a decree that _⌊whoever_⌋* will seek a prayer from any god or human except from you for up to thirty days will be thrown into _⌊the lion pit_⌋.* ⁸ Now, O king, establish the edict and you must sign the document so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians which cannot be revoked." ⁹ _⌊So_⌋* the king, Darius, signed the writing and the interdict.* ¹⁰ Now _⌊when_⌋* Daniel realized that the document was signed, he went to his house (_⌊now he had windows in his upper room that were open_⌋* toward Jerusalem), and three times _⌊daily_⌋* he knelt on his knees and prayed and gave praise before his God, _⌊just as_⌋* he had been doing _⌊previously_⌋.* ¹¹ Then these men came as a group and they found Daniel praying and pleading for mercy before his God. ¹² Then they approached _⌊and spoke with the king_⌋* concerning the edict of the king, "_⌊Did you not sign an edict_⌋* that any person who would seek anything from any God or human within thirty days except from you, O king, would be thrown into _⌊the lion pit_⌋?"* The king answered and said, "The matter as you have just stated is certain according to the law of the Medes and Persians which cannot be revoked." ¹³ Then _⌊they responded_⌋* and said before the king, "Daniel, who is from _⌊the exiles_⌋* of Judah,* _⌊is not paying any attention_⌋* to you, O king, or to the decree that you have signed, _⌊and three times daily_⌋* he says his prayer."

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Thus the administrators and satraps sought a charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no charge or corruption, because he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption was found in him. ⁵ Finally these men said, “We will never find any charge against this Daniel, unless we find something against him concerning the law of his God.” ⁶ So the administrators and satraps went together to the king and said, “O King Darius, may you live forever! ⁷ All the royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers, and governors have agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce a decree that for thirty days anyone who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the den of lions. ⁸ Therefore, O king, establish the decree and sign the document so that it cannot be changed—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.” ⁹ Therefore King Darius signed the written decree. ¹⁰ Now when Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went into his house, where the windows of his upper room opened toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he got down on his knees, prayed, and gave thanks to his God, just as he had done before. ¹¹ Then these men went as a group and found Daniel petitioning and imploring his God. ¹² So they approached the king and asked about his royal decree: “Did you not sign a decree that for thirty days any man who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the den of lions?” The king replied, “According to the law of the Medes and Persians the order stands, and it cannot be repealed.” ¹³ Then they told the king, “Daniel, one of the exiles from Judah, shows no regard for you, O king, or for the decree that you have signed. He still makes his petition three times a day.”

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no occasion nor fault, inasmuch as he was faithful, nor was there any error or fault found in him. ⁵ Then these men said, We will not find any occasion against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
⁶ Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king and said thus to him: King Darius, live forever. ⁷ All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a strong interdict, that whoever will ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he will be cast into the den of lions.
⁸ Now, O king, establish the interdict and sign the writing, that it is not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter. ⁹ Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict.
¹⁰ And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem) and he knelt upon his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he did formerly.
¹¹ Then these men assembled together and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God. ¹² Then they came near and spoke before the king concerning the king's interdict. Have you not signed an interdict, that every man who will make petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, will be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter.
¹³ Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the sons of the captivity of Judah, does not regard you, O king, nor the interdict that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.

Luther1545⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Derhalben trachteten die Fürsten und Landvögte danach, wie sie eine Sache zu Daniel fänden, die wider das Königreich wäre; aber sie konnten keine Sache noch Übeltat finden, denn er war treu, daß man keine Schuld noch Übeltat an ihm finden mochte. ⁵ Da sprachen die Männer: Wir werden keine Sache zu Daniel finden ohne über seinem Gottesdienst. ⁶ Da kamen die Fürsten und Landvögte häufig vor den König und sprachen zu ihm also: HERR König Darius, Gott verleihe dir langes Leben! ⁷ Es haben die Fürsten des Königreichs, die HERREN, die Landvögte, die Räte und Hauptleute alle gedacht, daß man einen königlichen Befehl solle ausgehen lassen und ein streng Gebot stellen, daß, wer in dreißig Tagen etwas bitten wird von irgendeinem Gott oder Menschen ohne von dir, König, alleine, solle zu den Löwen in den Graben geworfen werden. ⁸ Darum, lieber König, sollst du solch Gebot bestätigen und dich unterschreiben, auf daß nicht wieder geändert werde, nach dem Recht der Meder und Perser, welches niemand übertreten darf. ⁹ Also unterschrieb sich der König Darius. ¹⁰ Als nun Daniel erfuhr, daß solch Gebot unterschrieben wäre, ging er hinauf in sein Haus (er hatte aber an seinem Sommerhause offene Fenster gegen Jerusalem).

4 H1841 Daniel H5632 aber übertraf die Fürsten H116 und H324 Landvögte H1934 alle, denn es war H3493 ein hoher H7308 Geist H5922 in ihm; darum H6246 gedachte H4430 der König H5922 ihn über H1836 das H4437 ganze Königreich H6903 zu H6966 setzen .

Der König antwortete und sprach: Die Sache steht fest nach dem Gesetz der Meder und Perser, welches unwiderruflich ist. ¹³ (6:14) Hierauf antworteten sie und sprachen vor dem König: Daniel, einer der Weggeführten von Juda, achtet nicht auf dich, o König, noch auf das Verbot, welches du hast aufzeichnen lassen; sondern er verrichtet dreimal des Tages sein Gebet.

ELB1905⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Da übertraf dieser Daniel die Vorsteher und die Satrapen, weil ein außergewöhnlicher Geist in ihm war; und der König gedachte, ihn über das ganze Königreich zu bestellen. ⁵ Da suchten die Vorsteher und die Satrapen einen Anklagegrund gegen Daniel von seiten der Verwaltung zu finden; aber sie konnten keinen Anklagegrund und keine schlechte Handlung finden, weil er treu war und kein Vergehen und keine schlechte Handlung an ihm gefunden wurden. ⁶ Da sprachen diese Männer: Wir werden gegen diesen Daniel keinen Anklagegrund finden, es sei denn daß wir in dem Gesetz seines Gottes einen gegen ihn finden. ⁷ Dann liefen diese Vorsteher und Satrapen eilig zu dem König und sprachen zu ihm also: König Darius, lebe ewiglich! ⁸ Alle Vorsteher des Königreichs, die Statthalter und Satrapen, die Räte und Landpfleger, sind Rats geworden, daß der König eine Verordnung aufstelle und ein Verbot erlasse, daß ein jeder, der binnen dreißig Tagen von irgend einem Gott oder Menschen etwas erbittet außer von dir, o König, in die Löwengrube geworfen werden soll. ⁹ Nun, o König, erlaß das Verbot und laß eine Schrift aufzeichnen, die nach dem Gesetz der Meder und Perser, welches unwiderruflich ist, nicht abgeändert werden darf. ¹⁰ Deshalb ließ der König Darius die Schrift und das Verbot aufzeichnen. ¹¹ Und als Daniel erfuhr, daß die Schrift aufgezeichnet war, ging er in sein Haus; und er hatte in seinem Obergemach offene Fenster gegen Jerusalem hin; und dreimal des Tages kniete er auf seine Knie und betete und lobpries vor seinem Gott, wie er vordem getan hatte. ¹² Da liefen jene Männer eilig herbei und fanden Daniel betend und flehend vor seinem Gott. ¹³ Dann nahten sie und sprachen vor dem König betreffs des königlichen Verbotes: Hast du nicht ein Verbot aufzeichnen lassen, daß jedermann, der binnen dreißig Tagen von irgend einem Gott oder Menschen etwas erbitten würde, außer von dir, o König, in die Löwengrube geworfen werden sollte?

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Toen overtrof deze Daniël die vorsten en die stadhouders, daarom dat een voortreffelijke geest in hem was; en de koning dacht hem te stellen over het gehele koninkrijk. ⁵ Toen zochten de vorsten en de stadhouders gelegenheid te vinden, tegen Daniël vanwege het koninkrijk; maar zij konden geen gelegenheid noch misdaad vinden, dewijl hij getrouw was, en geen vergrijping noch misdaad in hem gevonden werd. ⁶ Toen zeiden die mannen: Wij zullen tegen dezen Daniël geen gelegenheid vinden, tenzij wij tegen hem iets vinden in de wet zijns Gods. ⁷ Zo kwamen deze vorsten en de stadhouders met hopen tot den koning, en zeiden aldus tot hem: O koning Darius, leef in eeuwigheid! ⁸ Al de vorsten des rijks, de overheden en stadhouders, de raadsheren en landvoogden hebben zich beraadslaagd een koninklijke ordonnantie te stellen, en een sterk gebod te maken, dat al wie in dertig dagen een verzoek zal doen van enigen god of mens, behalve van u, o koning! die zal in den kuil der leeuwen geworpen worden. ⁹ Nu, o koning! gij zult een gebod bevestigen, en een schrift tekenen, dat niet veranderd worde, naar de wet der Meden en der Perzen, die niet mag wederroepen worden. ¹⁰ Daarom tekende de koning Darius dat schrift en gebod. ¹¹ Toen nu Daniël verstond, dat dit schrift getekend was, ging hij in zijn huis (hij nu had in zijn opperzaal open vensters tegen Jeruzalem aan), en hij knielde drie tijden 's daags op zijn knieën, en hij bad, en deed belijdenis voor zijn God, ganselijk gelijk hij voor dezen gedaan had. ¹² Toen kwamen die mannen met hopen, en zij vonden Daniël biddende en smekende voor zijn God. ¹³ Toen kwamen zij nader, en spraken voor den koning van het gebod des konings: Hebt gij niet een gebod getekend, dat alle man, die in dertig dagen van enigen god of mens iets verzoeken zou, behalve van u, o koning! in den kuil der leeuwen zou geworpen worden? De koning antwoordde en zeide: Het is een vaste rede, naar de wet der Meden en Perzen, die niet mag herroepen worden.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Or les autres gouverneurs et les satrapes s’efforcèrent de trouver un sujet d’accusation contre Daniel, et ils ne purent trouver contre lui ni grief, ni délit, ni soupçon, parce qu’il était fidèle. ⁵ Et les gouverneurs se dirent: Nous ne trouverons pas de sujet d’accusation contre Daniel, sinon à cause des lois de son Dieu. ⁶ ¶ Alors les gouverneurs et les satrapes comparurent devant le roi, et lui dirent: O roi Darius, vis à jamais! ⁷ Tous les officiers de ton royaume, généraux et satrapes, magistrats et intendants, ont tenu conseil pour qu’il fût rendu un édit royal, et formellement ordonné que tout homme qui durant trente jours fera une demande soit à un dieu, soit à un homme autre que le roi, sera jeté dans la fosse aux lions. ⁸ Maintenant, ô roi, rends l’édit, et publie-le, afin que rien ne soit changé à ce qu’ont résolu les Perses et les Mèdes. ⁹ Et le roi Darius fit publier l’édit. ¹⁰ Or Daniel, aussitôt qu’il sut ce que prescrivait l’édit, entra dans sa maison, à l’étage supérieur, les fenêtres ouvertes; tourné vers Jérusalem, trois fois par jour il se mit à genoux, priant son Dieu, et lui rendant grâces, comme il avait coutume de le faire auparavant. ¹¹ ¶ Cependant ces hommes l’épièrent, et ils surprirent Daniel rendant grâces à son Dieu et lui faisant sa prière. ¹² Et s’approchant du roi, ils lui dirent: O roi, n’as-tu point rendu cet édit, que tout homme qui, durant trente jours, fera une demande à un dieu ou à un homme autre que le roi, soit jeté dans la fosse aux lions? Et le roi répondit: Ce que vous dites est véritable, et l’édit des Perses et des Mèdes ne sera pas violé. ¹³ Et ils reprirent, disant au roi: Daniel, l’un des fils des captifs de la Judée, ne s’est point soumis à ton édit, et trois fois par jour il demande à son Dieu ce qu’il veut lui demander.

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Alors les présidents et les satrapes cherchèrent à trouver dans l'administration du royaume quelque sujet d'accusation contre Daniel; et ils ne pouvaient trouver aucun sujet d'accusation ni aucune faute, parce qu'il était fidèle; et aucun manquement ni aucune faute ne se trouva en lui. ⁵ Et ces hommes dirent: Nous ne trouverons dans ce Daniel aucun sujet d'accusation, à moins que nous n'en trouvions contre lui à cause de la loi de son Dieu. ⁶
Alors ces présidents et ces satrapes s'assemblèrent en foule auprès du roi, et lui parlèrent ainsi: Roi Darius, vis à jamais! ⁷ Tous les présidents du royaume, les préfets et les satrapes, les conseillers et les gouverneurs, ont tenu conseil ensemble pour établir un statut royal et mettre en vigueur une défense, portant que quiconque fera une demande à quelque dieu ou à quelque homme que ce soit, durant trente jours, excepté à toi, ô roi, sera jeté dans la fosse aux lions. ⁸ Maintenant, ô roi, établis la défense, et signe l'écrit afin qu'il ne soit pas changé, selon la loi des Mèdes et des Perses, qui ne peut être abrogée. ⁹ A cause de cela, le roi Darius signa l'écrit et la défense. ¹⁰ Or Daniel, quand il sut que l'écrit était signé, entra dans sa maison; et, ses fenêtres étant ouvertes dans sa chambre haute, du côté de Jérusalem, il s'agenouillait sur ses genoux trois fois le jour, et priait, et rendait grâce devant son Dieu, comme il avait fait auparavant. ¹¹
Mais ces hommes s'assemblèrent en foule et trouvèrent Daniel qui priait et présentait sa supplication devant son Dieu. ¹² Alors ils s'approchèrent et dirent devant le roi, touchant la défense du roi: N'as-tu pas signé une défense, portant que tout homme qui, durant trente jours, ferait une demande à quelque dieu ou à quelque homme que ce fût, excepté à toi, ô roi, serait jeté dans la fosse aux lions? Le roi répondit et dit: La chose est certaine, selon la loi des Mèdes et des Perses, qui ne peut être abrogée. ¹³ Alors ils répondirent et dirent devant le roi: Daniel, qui est d'entre les fils de la captivité de Juda, ne tient pas compte de toi, ô roi, ni de la défense que tu as signée, mais il fait sa requête trois fois par jour.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Alors les Gouverneurs et les Satrapes cherchaient à trouver quelque occasion d'accuser Daniel touchant les affaires du Royaume; mais ils ne pouvaient trouver en lui aucune occasion ni aucun vice, parce qu'il était fidèle, et qu'il ne se trouvait en lui ni faute, ni vice. ⁵ Ces hommes donc dirent : Nous ne trouverons point d'occasion d'accuser ce Daniel, si nous ne la trouvons dans ce qui regarde la Loi de son Dieu. ⁶ Alors ces Gouverneurs et ces Satrapes s'assemblèrent vers le Roi, et lui parlèrent ainsi : Roi Darius, vis éternellement! ⁷ Tous les Gouverneurs de ton Royaume, les Lieutenants, les Satrapes, les Conseillers, et les Capitaines sont d'avis d'établir une ordonnance royale, et de faire un décret ferme, que quiconque fera aucune requête à quelque Dieu, ou à quelque homme que ce soit, d'ici à trente jours, sinon à toi, ô Roi! qu'il soit jeté dans la fosse des lions. ⁸ Maintenant donc, ô Roi! établis ce décret, et fais en écrire des Lettres afin qu'on ne le change point, selon que la Loi des Mèdes et des Perses est irrévocable. ⁹ C'est pourquoi le Roi Darius écrivit la lettre et le décret. ¹⁰ Or quand Daniel eut appris que les Lettres en étaient écrites, il entra dans sa maison, et les fenêtres de sa chambre étant ouvertes du côté de Jérusalem, il se mettait trois fois le jour à genoux, et il priait et célébrait son Dieu, comme il avait fait auparavant. ¹¹ Alors ces hommes s'assemblèrent, et trouvèrent Daniel priant, et faisant requête à son Dieu. ¹² Ils s'approchèrent et dirent au Roi touchant le décret royal : N'as-tu pas écrit ce décret, que tout homme qui ferait requête à quelque Dieu, ou à quelque homme que ce fût, d'ici à trente jours, sinon à toi, ô Roi! serait jeté dans la fosse des lions ? Et le Roi répondit, et dit : La chose est constante, selon la Loi des Mèdes et des Perses, laquelle est irrévocable. ¹³ Alors ils répondirent, et dirent au Roi : Daniel, qui est un de ceux qui ont été emmenés captifs de Juda, n'a tenu compte de toi, ô Roi! ni du décret que tu as écrit; mais il prie, faisant requête trois fois le jour.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Alors les chefs et les satrapes cherchèrent une occasion d'accuser Daniel en ce qui concernait les affaires du royaume. Mais ils ne purent trouver aucune occasion, ni aucune chose à reprendre, parce qu'il était fidèle, et qu'on n'apercevait chez lui ni faute, ni rien de mauvais. ⁵ Et ces hommes dirent: Nous ne trouverons aucune occasion contre ce Daniel, à moins que nous n'en trouvions une dans la loi de son Dieu. ⁶ Puis ces chefs et ces satrapes se rendirent tumultueusement auprès du roi, et lui parlèrent ainsi: Roi Darius, vis éternellement! ⁷ Tous les chefs du royaume, les intendants, les satrapes, les conseillers, et les gouverneurs sont d'avis qu'il soit publié un édit royal, avec une défense sévère, portant que quiconque, dans l'espace de trente jours, adressera des prières à quelque dieu ou à quelque homme, excepté à toi, ô roi, sera jeté dans la fosse aux lions. ⁸ Maintenant, ô roi, confirme la défense, et écris le décret, afin qu'il soit irrévocable, selon la loi des Mèdes et des Perses, qui est immuable. ⁹ Là-dessus le roi Darius écrivit le décret et la défense. ¹⁰ Lorsque Daniel sut que le décret était écrit, il se retira dans sa maison, où les fenêtres de la chambre supérieure étaient ouvertes dans la direction de Jérusalem; et trois fois le jour il se mettait à genoux, il priait, et il louait son Dieu, comme il le faisait auparavant. ¹¹ Alors ces hommes entrèrent tumultueusement, et ils trouvèrent Daniel qui priait et invoquait son Dieu. ¹² Puis ils se présentèrent devant le roi, et lui dirent au sujet de la défense royale: N'as-tu pas écrit une défense portant que quiconque dans l'espace de trente jours adresserait des prières à quelque dieu ou à quelque homme, excepté à toi, ô roi, serait jeté dans la fosse aux lions? Le roi répondit: La chose est certaine, selon la loi des Mèdes et des Perses, qui est immuable. ¹³ Ils prirent de nouveau la parole et dirent au roi: Daniel, l'un des captifs de Juda, n'a tenu aucun compte de toi, ô roi, ni de la défense que tu as écrite, et il fait sa prière trois fois le jour.

10 H1841 Lorsque Daniel H3046 sut H8754 H3792 que le décret H7560 était écrit H8752 H5954 , il se retira H8754 H1005 dans sa maison H3551 , où les fenêtres H5952 de la chambre H6606 supérieure étaient ouvertes H8759 H5049 dans la direction H3390 de Jérusalem H8532 ; et trois H2166 fois H3118 le jour H1289 il se mettait H8750 H5922 à H1291 genoux H6739 , il priait H8743 H3029 , et il louait H8683 H6925 H426 son Dieu H6903 , comme H3606 H1934 il le faisait H8754 H5648 H8751 H4481 auparavant H1836 H6928 .

11 H116 ¶ Alors H479 ces H1400 hommes H7284 entrèrent H8684 H7912 tumultueusement, et ils trouvèrent H8684 H1841 Daniel H1156 qui priait H8750 H2604 et invoquait H8723 H6925 H426 son Dieu.

12 H116 Puis H7127 ils se présentèrent H8754 H6925 devant H4430 le roi H560 , et lui dirent H8750 H5922 au sujet H633 de la défense H4430 royale H3809 : N’as-tu pas H7560 écrit H8754 H633 une défense H3606 portant que quiconque H606 H5705 dans l’espace H8533 de trente H3118 jours H1156 adresserait H8748 H4481 des prières à H3606 quelque H426 dieu H606 ou à quelque homme H3861 , excepté H4481 à H4430 toi, ô roi H7412 , serait jeté H8729 H1358 dans la fosse H744 aux lions H4430 ? Le roi H6032 répondit H8750 H560 H8750 H4406 : La chose H3330 est certaine H1882 , selon la loi H4076 des Mèdes H6540 et des Perses H5709 , qui est immuable H8748 H3809 .

13 H116 H6032 Ils prirent de nouveau la parole H8754 H560 et dirent H8750 H6925 au H4430 roi H1841 : Daniel H4481 , l’un H1123 des captifs H1547 H3061 de Juda H3809 , n’a tenu aucun H7761 compte H8754 H5922 de toi H4430 , ô roi H633 , ni de la défense H2942 H7560 que tu as écrite H8754 H1156 , et il fait H8750 H1159 sa prière H8532 trois H2166 fois H3118 le jour.

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Entonces los presidentes y gobernadores buscaban ocasiones contra Daniel por parte del reino; mas no podían hallar alguna ocasión o falta, porque él era fiel, y ningún vicio ni falta fue en él hallado. ⁵ Entonces estos varones dijeron: Nunca hallaremos contra este Daniel ocasión alguna, si no la hallamos contra él en la ley de su Dios. ⁶ Entonces estos gobernadores y presidentes se juntaron delante del rey, y le dijeron así: rey Darío, para siempre vive: ⁷ Todos los presidentes del reino, magistrados, gobernadores, grandes y capitanes, han acordado por consejo, promulgar un edicto real, y confirmarlo: Que cualquiera que demandare petición de cualquier dios u hombre por espacio de treinta días, sino de ti, oh rey, sea echado en el foso de los leones. ⁸ Ahora, oh rey, confirma el edicto, y firma la escritura, para que no se pueda mudar, conforme a la ley de Media y de Persia, que no se quebranta. ⁹ Por esta causa el rey Darío firmó la escritura y el edicto. ¹⁰ Y Daniel, cuando supo que la escritura estaba firmada, entró en su casa, y abiertas las ventanas de su cenadero que estaban hacia Jerusalén, se arrodillaba tres veces al día, y oraba, y confesaba delante de su Dios, como lo solía hacer antes. ¹¹ Entonces se juntaron aquellos hombres, y hallaron a Daniel orando y rogando delante de su Dios. ¹² Fueron luego, y hablaron delante del rey acerca del edicto real: ¿No confirmaste edicto que cualquiera que pidiere a cualquier dios u hombre por espacio de treinta días, sino a ti, oh rey, fuese echado en el foso de los leones? Respondió el rey y dijo: Verdad es, conforme a la ley de Media y de Persia, que no se quebranta. ¹³ Entonces respondieron y dijeron delante del rey: Daniel, que es de los hijos de la cautividad de los judíos, no ha hecho cuenta de ti, oh rey, ni del edicto que confirmaste; antes tres veces al día hace su petición.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Atëherë prefektët dhe satrapët kërkuan të gjenin një pretekst kundër Danielit lidhur me administrimin e mbretërisë, por nuk mundën të gjejnë asnjë pretekst apo korruptim, sepse ai ishte besnik dhe nuk mundën të gjejnë tek ai asnjë gabim apo korruptim. ⁵ Atëherë këta njerëz thanë: "Nuk do të gjejmë kurrë ndonjë pretekst kundër Danielit, veç se po ta gjejmë kundër tij në vet ligjin e Perëndisë të tij." ⁶ Atëherë ata prefektë dhe satrapë u mblodhën me zhurmë para mbretit dhe i thanë: "O mbreti Dar, jetofsh për jetë! ⁷ Tërë prefektët e mbretërisë, qeveritarët dhe satrapët, këshilltarët dhe komandantët u konsultuan bashkë për të nxjerrë një vendim mbretëror dhe për të bërë një dekret të prerë, në bazë të të cilëve kushdo që gjatë tridhjetë ditëve do t'i drejtojë një kërkesë cilësdo perëndie a njeriu përveç teje, o mbret, të hidhet në gropën e luanëve. ⁸ Tani, o mbret, nxirr dekretin dhe firmos dokumentin, në mënyrë që të mos ndryshohet dot në pajtim me ligjin e Medasve dhe të Persianëve, që është i parevokueshëm". ⁹ Pastaj mbreti Dari nënshkroi dokumentin dhe dekretin. ¹⁰ Kur Danieli mësoi që dokumenti ishte nënshkruar, hyri në shtëpinë e vet. Pastaj në dhomën e tij të sipërme, me dritaret e saj të hapura në drejtim të Jeruzalemit, tri herë në ditë gjunjëzohej, lutej dhe falenderonte Perëndinë e tij, siç e bënte zakonisht më parë. ¹¹ Atëherë ata njerëz erdhën duke bërë zhurmë dhe e gjetën Danielin që po i lutej dhe i përlutej Perëndisë të tij. ¹² Kështu iu afruan mbretit dhe folën para tij për dekretin mbretëror: "A nuk ke nënshkruar një dekret në bazë të të cilit gjatë tridhjetë ditëve kushdo që do të bëjë një kërkesë drejtuar çfarëdo perëndie ose njeriu me përjashtimin tënd, o mbret, do të hidhet në gropën e luanëve?". Mbreti u përgjigj dhe tha: "Kjo gjë është vendosur në pajtim me ligjin e Mediasve dhe të Persianëve, që nuk mund të ndryshohet". ¹³ Atëherë ata nisën përsëri të flasin përpara mbretit: "Danieli, që është një ndër të mërguarit e Judës, nuk tregon asnjë konsideratë për ty, o mbret, ose për dekretin që ke nënshkruar, por i drejton lutje tri herë në ditë Perëndisë të tij".

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Тогда князья и сатрапы начали искать предлога к обвинению Даниила по управлению царством; но никакого предлога и погрешностей не могли найти, потому что он был верен, и никакой погрешности или вины не оказывалось в нем. ⁵ И эти люди сказали: не найти нам предлога против Даниила, если мы не найдем его против него в законе Бога его. ⁶ Тогда эти князья и сатрапы приступили к царю и так сказали ему: царь Дарий! вовеки живи! ⁷ Все князья царства, наместники, сатрапы, советники и военачальники согласились между собою, чтобы сделано было царское постановление и издано повеление, чтобы, кто в течение тридцати дней будет просить какого-либо бога или человека, кроме тебя, царь, того бросить в львиный ров. ⁸ Итак утверди, царь, это определение и подпиши указ, чтобы он был неизменен, как закон Мидийский и Персидский, и чтобы онне был нарушен. ⁹ Царь Дарий подписал указ и это повеление. ¹⁰ Даниил же, узнав, что подписан такой указ, пошел в дом свой; окна же в горнице его были открыты против Иерусалима, и он три раза в день преклонял колени, и молился своему Богу, и славословил Его, как это делал он и прежде того. ¹¹ Тогда эти люди подсмотрели и нашли Даниила молящегося и просящего милости пред Богом своим, ¹² потом пришли и сказали царю о царском повелении: не ты ли подписал указ, чтобы всякого человека, который в течение тридцати дней будет просить какого-либо бога или человека, кроме тебя, царь, бросать в львиный ров? Царь отвечал и сказал: это слово твердо, как закон Мидян и Персов, не допускающий изменения. ¹³ Тогда отвечали они и сказали царю, что Даниил, который из пленных сынов Иудеи, не обращает внимания ни на тебя, царь, ни на указ, тобою подписанный, но три раза в день молится своими молитвами.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ ثم ان الوزراء والمرازبة كانوا يطلبون علّة يجدونها على دانيال من جهة المملكة فلم يقدروا ان يجدوا علّة ولا ذنبا لانه كان امينا ولم يوجد فيه خطأ ولا ذنب. ⁵ فقال هؤلاء الرجال لا نجد على دانيال هذا علّة الا ان نجدها من جهة شريعة الهه. ⁶ حينئذ اجتمع هؤلاء الوزراء والمرازبة عند الملك وقالوا له هكذا ايها الملك داريوس عش الى الابد. ⁷ ان جميع وزراء المملكة والشحن والمرازبة والمشيرين والولاة قد تشاوروا على ان يضعوا أمرا ملكيا ويشددوا نهيا بان كل من يطلب طلبة حتى ثلاثين يوما من اله او انسان الا منك ايها الملك يطرح في جب الأسود. ⁸ فثبّت الآن النهي ايها الملك وامض الكتابة لكي لا تتغيّر كشريعة مادي وفارس التي لا تنسخ. ⁹ لاجل ذلك امضى الملك داريوس الكتابة والنهي ¹⁰ فلما علم دانيال بامضاء الكتابة ذهب الى بيته وكواه مفتوحة في عليته نحو اورشليم فجثا على ركبتيه ثلاث مرات في اليوم وصلّى وحمد قدام الهه كما كان يفعل قبل ذلك. ¹¹ فاجتمع جميع حينئذ هؤلاء الرجال فوجدوا دانيال يطلب ويتضرع قدام الهه. ¹² فتقدموا وتكلموا قدام الملك في نهي الملك. ألم تمض ايها الملك نهيا بان كل انسان يطلب من اله او انسان حتى ثلاثين يوما الا منك ايها الملك يطرح في جب الأسود. فاجاب الملك وقال الامر صحيح كشريعة مادي وفارس التي لا تنسخ. ¹³ حينئذ اجابوا وقالوا قدام الملك ان دانيال الذي من بني سبي يهوذا لم يجعل لك ايها الملك اعتبارا ولا للنهي الذي امضيته بل ثلاث مرات في اليوم يطلب طلبته.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Тогава началниците и сатрапите търсеха да намерят повод за обвинение против Даниил относно делата на царството; но не можаха да намерят никакъв повод или вина, защото той беше верен и в него не се намери никаква грешка или вина. ⁵ Тогава тези мъже казаха: Няма да намерим никаъкв повод против този Даниил, освен ако намерим нещо против него в закона на неговия Бог. ⁶ Тогава тези началници и сатрапи се спуснаха при царя и му казаха така: Царю Дарий, да си жив до века! ⁷ Всички началници на царството, наместниците и сатрапите, съветниците и управителите се съветваха, царят да издаде указ и да се утвъри забрана, че който, до тридесет дни, би отправил някаква молба към който и да било бог или човек освен към теб, царю, да бъде хвърлен в рова на лъвовете. ⁸ Сега, царю, утвърди забраната и подпиши писмената й форма, за да не се изменя, според закона на мидяните и персите, който е неотменим. ⁹ Затова цар Дарий подписа писмената забрана. ¹⁰ А когато Даниил научи, че писанието било подписано, влезе у дома си — а той имаше на стаята си отворени прозорци към Ерусалим — и три пъти на ден коленичеше на коленете си и се молеше и благодареше пред своя Бог, както беше правил преди това. ¹¹ Тогава онези мъже се спуснаха и намериха Даниил да отправя молба и да се моли пред своя Бог. ¹² Тогава се приближиха и говориха пред царя за царската забрана: Не подписа ли ти забрана, че всеки човек, който до тридесет дни би измолил нещо от който и да било бог или човек освен от теб, царю, ще се хвърли в рова на лъвовете? Царят отговори и каза: Това е вярно според закона на мидяните и персите, който е неотменим. ¹³ Тогава те отговориха и казаха пред царя: Даниил, който е от пленените от Юда, не зачита нито теб, царю, нито забраната, която си подписал, а отправя молбата си три пъти на ден!

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Daniel se toliko isticaše svojim izvanrednim duhom iznad pročelnika i satrapa te kralj mišljaše da ga postavi nad svim kraljevstvom. ⁵ Tada pročelnici i satrapi stadoše tražiti povod, štogod oko državne uprave, zbog čega bi mogli optužiti Daniela; ali ne mogoše na njemu naći ništa takvo, ništa zbog čega bi ga prekorili, jer bijaše vjeran, na njemu ni nemara ni ogrešenja. ⁶ Ti ljudi rekoše tada: "Nećemo naći nikakva povoda protiv Daniela, osim da nađemo nešto protiv njega u zakonu njegova Boga." ⁷ Tada pročelnici i satrapi navališe na kralja te mu rekoše: "O kralju Darije, živ bio dovijeka! ⁸ Svi pročelnici kraljevstva, predstojnici i satrapi, savjetnici i namjesnici složiše se u tome da bi trebalo da kralj izda naredbu i zabranu: svaki onaj koji bi u roku od trideset dana upravio molbu bilo na kojega boga ili čovjeka, osim na tebe, o kralju, bit će bačen u lavsku jamu. ⁹ O kralju, potvrdi tu zabranu i potpiši naredbu da bude neopoziva prema nepromjenljivom medijsko-perzijskom zakonu!" ¹⁰ Nato kralj Darije potpisa pismo i zabranu. ¹¹ Saznavši Daniel da je spis potpisan, otiđe u svoju kuću. Prozori gornje sobe bijahu otvoreni prema Jeruzalemu. Tu je on tri puta na dan padao na koljena blagoslivljajući, moleći i hvaleći Boga, kako je uvijek činio. ¹² Oni ljudi nahrupiše i nađoše Daniela gdje moli i zaziva svoga Boga. ¹³ Tada odoše i pred kraljem se pozvaše na kraljevsku zabranu: "Zar ti nisi potpisao zabranu prema kojoj će svaki onaj koji bi u vremenu od trideset dana upravio molbu na nekoga boga ili čovjeka, osim na tebe, o kralju, biti bačen u lavsku jamu?" Kralj odgovori: "Tako je odlučeno po nepromjenljivom medijsko-perzijskom zakonu."

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Tedy hejtmané a úředníci hledali příčiny proti Danielovi s strany království, a však žádné příčiny ani vady nemohli najíti; nebo věrný byl, aniž jaký omyl neb vada nalézala se při něm. ⁵ Protož muži ti řekli: Nenajdeme proti Danielovi tomuto žádné příčiny, jediné leč bychom našli něco proti němu s strany zákona Boha jeho. ⁶ Tedy hejtmané a úředníci ti shromáždivše se k králi, takto mluvili k němu: Darie králi, na věky buď živ. ⁷ Uradili se všickni hejtmané království, vývodové, úředníci, správcové a vůdcové, abys ustanovil nařízení královské, a utvrdil zápověd: Kdož by koli vložil žádost na kteréhokoli boha neb člověka do třidcíti dnů, kromě na tebe, králi, aby uvržen byl do jámy lvové. ⁸ Nyní tedy, ó králi, potvrď zápovědi této, a vydej mandát, kterýž by nemohl změněn býti podlé práva Médského a Perského, kteréž jest neproměnitelné. ⁹ Pročež král Darius vydal mandát a zápověd. ¹⁰ Daniel pak, když se dověděl, že jest vydán mandát, všel do domu svého, kdež otevřená byla okna v pokoji jeho proti Jeruzalému, a třikrát za den klekal na kolena svá, a modlíval se a vyznával se Bohu svému, tak jakož prvé to činíval. ¹¹ Tedy muži ti shromáždivše se a nalezše Daniele, an se modlí a pokorně prosí Boha svého, ¹² Tedy přistoupili a mluvili k králi o zápovědi královské: Zdaliž jsi nevydal mandátu, aby každý člověk, kdož by koli něčeho žádal od kterého boha neb člověka až do třidcíti dnů, kromě od tebe, králi, uvržen byl do jámy lvové? Odpověděv král, řekl: Pravéť jest slovo to, podlé práva Médského a Perského, kteréž jest neproměnitelné. ¹³ Tedy odpovídajíce, řekli králi: Daniel ten, kterýž jest z zajatých synů Judských, nechtěl dbáti na tvé, ó králi, nařízení, ani na mandát tvůj, kterýž jsi vydal, ale třikrát za den modlívá se modlitbou svou.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Da overgik denne Daniel de overordnede og Statholderne, fordi der var en ypperlig Aand i ham; og Kongen tænkte paa at beskikke ham over det hele Rige. ⁵ Da søgte de overordnede og Statholderne at finde Sag imod Daniel, hvad Regeringen angik; men de kunde ingen ag eller slet Handling finde, fordi han var tro, og ingen Forseelse eller slet Handling fandtes hos ham. ⁶ Da sagde disse Mænd: Vi finde ingen Sag imod denne Daniel, med mindre vi kunde finde den imod ham i hans Guds Lov. Da kom disse overordnede og Statholdere i hobetal tal Kongen, og de sagde saaledes til ham: Kong Darius leve evindelig! ⁷ He kom disse overordnede og Statholderne i Hobetal til Kongen, og de sagde saaledes til ham: Kong Darius leve evingelig ⁸ Alle overordnede i Riget, Befalingsmændene og Statholderne, Raadsherrerne og Landshævdingerne havde raadslaget med hverandre om, at Kongen skal stadfæste en Befaling og bekræfte og bekræfte et Forbud, at hver, som beder en Bøn til nogen Gud eller noget Menneske i tredive Dage uden til dig, o Konge! skal kastes i Løvekulen. ⁹ Nu, o Konge! skal du stadfæste Forbudet og opsætte det skrifligt, at det ikke kan forandres, efter Medernes og Persernes Lov, som ikke kan tilbagekaldes. ¹⁰ Derfor opsatte Kong Darius Skliftet og Forbudet. ¹¹ Og den Daniel havde faaet at vide, at Skriftet var opsat, gik han ind i sit Hus, hvilket paa sin øverste Sal havde Vinduer aabne imod Jerusalem; og tre Tider om Dagenfaldt han paa sine Knæ og bad og lovpriste Gud, alt som han havde gjort tilforn. ¹² Da kom disse Mænd i Hobetal og fandt Daniel bedende og bønfaidende for sin Gud. ¹³ Da kom de frem og talte for Kongen om Kongens Forbud: Har du ikke opsat et Forbud om, at hvert Menneske, som beder nogen Gud eller noget Menneske om noget i tredive Dage uden dig, o Konge! skal kastes i Løvekulen? Kongen svarede og sagde: Ordet staar fast efter Medernes og Persernes Lov, som ikke kan tilbagekaldes.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Jonka tähden päämiehet ja maanvanhimmat etsivät syytä Danielia vastaan valtakunnan puolesta, vaan ei he taitaneet yhtään syytä eikä rikosta löytää, sillä hän oli uskollinen, ettei hänessä mitään vikaa eikä rikosta löytää taidettu. ⁵ Niin sanoivat ne miehet: Emme löydä yhtään syytä tämän Danielin kanssa, ellemme löydä hänen Jumalansa palveluksessa. ⁶ Silloin tulivat päämiehet ja maanvanhimmat joukoittain kuninkaan eteen ja sanoivat hänelle näin: Kuningas Darius eläköön kauvan! ⁷ Valtakunnan päämiehet, herrat, maanvanhimmat, neuvonantajat ja valtamiehet ovat ajatelleet, että kuninkaallinen käsky annettaisiin ja ankara kielto, että jos joku kolmenakymmenenä päivänä joltakulta jumalalta eli ihmiseltä, paitsi sinulta, kuningas, ainoasti jotakin anoo, pitää jalopeurain luolaan heitettämän. ⁸ Sentähden, herra kuningas, vahvista se käsky ja kirjoita alle, ettei sitä jälleen muutettaisi, Mediläisten ja Persian oikeuden jälkeen, jota ei kenkään rikkoa tohdi. ⁹ Niin kirjoitti kuningas Darius sen kirjoituksen ja käskyn alle. ¹⁰ Kuin Daniel sai tietää kirjoitetuksi sen käskyn alle, meni hän ylös huoneesensa, ja hänen suvihuoneensa akkunat olivat avoimet Jerusalemia päin, ja lankesi kolme kertaa päivässä polvillensa; rukoili, kiitti ja ylisti Jumalaansa, niinkuin hänen tapansa oli ennenkin tehdä. ¹¹ Silloin tulivat ne miehet joukoittain ja löysivät Danielin rukoilevan ja avuksensa huutavan Jumalaansa. ¹² Niin he astuivat edes ja puhuivat kuninkaan kanssa siitä kuninkaallisesta käskystä ja sanoivat: Etkös kirjoittanut käskyn alle, että jos joku ihminen kolmenakymmenenä päivänä jotakin anova olis joltakulta jumalalta eli ihmiseltä, paitsi sinulta ainoastansa, kuningas, se pitää jalopeurain luolaan heitettämän? Kuningas vastasi ja sanoi: Se on tosi, ja Mediläisten ja Persialaisten oikeutta ei pidä kenenkään rikkoman. ¹³ He vastasivat ja sanoivat kuninkaalle: Daniel, yksi Juudalaisista vangeista, ei tottele sinua, herra kuningas, eikä sinun käskyäs, jonka allekirjoittanut olet; sillä hän rukoilee kolmasti päivässä.

Säädä kielto ja kirjoita kirjoitus, jota meedialaisten ja persialaisten peruuttamattoman lain mukaan ei voida muuttaa." ⁹ Niin kuningas Daarejaves kirjoitti kirjoituksen ja kiellon. ¹⁰ Niin pian kuin Daniel oli saanut tietää, että kirjoitus oli kirjoitettu, meni hän taloonsa, jonka yläsalin ikkunat olivat avatut Jerusalemiin päin. Ja hän lankesi kolmena hetkenä päivässä polvillensa, rukoili ja kiitti Jumalaansa, aivan niinkuin hän ennenkin oli tehnyt. ¹¹ Silloin nuo miehet riensivät kiiruusti sinne ja tapasivat Danielin rukoilemasta ja avuksi huutamasta Jumalaansa. ¹² Sitten he astuivat kuninkaan eteen ja muistuttivat kuninkaan kiellosta: "Etkö ole kirjoittanut kieltoa, että kuka ikinä kolmenkymmenen päivän kuluessa rukoilee jotakin yhdeltäkään jumalalta tai ihmiseltä, paitsi sinulta, kuningas, se heitettäköön jalopeurain luolaan?" Kuningas vastasi ja sanoi: "Kielto on luja, meedialaisten ja persialaisten peruuttamattoman lain mukaan". ¹³ Silloin he vastasivat ja sanoivat kuninkaalle: "Daniel, joka on juutalaisia pakkosiirtolaisia, ei välitä sinusta, kuningas, eikä kiellosta, jonka olet kirjoittanut, vaan kolmena hetkenä päivässä hän toimittaa rukouksensa".

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Perciò, i presidenti, e i satrapi, cercavano il modo di trovar qualche cagione contro a Daniele, intorno agli affari del regno; ma non potevano trovare alcuna cagione, nè misfatto; perciocchè egli era fedele, e non si trovava in lui alcun fallo, nè misfatto. ⁵ Allora quegli uomini dissero: Noi non possiamo trovar cagione alcuna contro a questo Daniele, se non la troviamo contro a lui intorno alla legge del suo Dio. ⁶ Allora que’ presidenti, e satrapi, si radunarono appresso del re, e gli dissero così: Re Dario, possa tu vivere in perpetuo. ⁷ Tutti i presidenti del regno, i magistrati, e i satrapi, i consiglieri, e i duchi, han preso consiglio di formare uno statuto reale, e fare uno stretto divieto che chiunque farà richiesta alcuna a qualunque dio, od uomo, fra qui e trenta giorni, salvo che a te, o re, sia gettato nella fossa dei leoni. ⁸ Ora, o re, fa’ il divieto, e scrivine lettere patenti, che non si possano mutare; quali son le leggi di Media, e di Persia, che sono irrevocabili. ⁹ Il re Dario adunque scrisse le lettere patenti, e il divieto. ¹⁰ Or Daniele, quando seppe che le lettere erano scritte, entrò in casa sua; e, lasciando le finestre della sua sala aperte verso Gerusalemme, a tre tempi del giorno si poneva inginocchioni, e faceva orazione, e rendeva grazie davanti al suo Dio; perciocchè così era uso di fare per addietro. ¹¹ Allora quegli uomini si radunarono, e trovarono Daniele orando, e supplicando davanti al suo Dio. ¹² Ed in quello stante vennero al re, e dissero in sua presenza, intorno al divieto reale: Non hai tu scritto il divieto, che chiunque farà alcuna richiesta a qualunque dio, od uomo, di qui a trenta giorni, salvo che a te, o re, sia gettato nella fossa de’ leoni? Il re rispose, e disse: La cosa è ferma, nella maniera delle leggi di Media, e di Persia, che sono irrevocabili. ¹³ Allora essi risposero, e dissero in presenza del re: Daniele, che è di quelli che sono stati menati in cattività di Giudea, non ha fatto conto alcuno di te, o re, nè del divieto che tu hai scritto; anzi a tre tempi del giorno fa le sue orazioni.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Allora i capi e i satrapi cercarono di trovare un’occasione d’accusar Daniele circa l’amministrazione del regno; ma non potevano trovare alcuna occasione, né alcun motivo di riprensione, perch’egli era fedele, e non c’era da trovare il lui alcunché di male o da riprendere. ⁵ Quegli uomini dissero dunque: "Noi non troveremo occasione alcuna d’accusar questo Daniele, se non la troviamo in quel che concerne la legge del suo Dio". ⁶ Allora quei capi e quei satrapi vennero tumultuosamente presso al re, e gli dissero: "O re Dario, possa tu vivere in perpetuo! ⁷ Tutti i capi del regno, i prefetti e i satrapi, i consiglieri e i governatori si sono concertati perché il re promulghi un decreto e pubblichi un severo divieto, per i quali chiunque, entro lo spazio di trenta giorni, rivolgerà qualche richiesta a qualsivoglia dio o uomo tranne che a te, o re, sia gettato nella fossa de’ leoni. ⁸ Ora, o re, promulga il divieto e firmane l’atto perché sia immutabile, conformemente alla legge dei Medi e de’ Persiani, che è irrevocabile". ⁹ Il re Dario quindi firmò il decreto e il divieto. ¹⁰ E quando Daniele seppe che il decreto era firmato, entrò in casa sua; e, tenendo le finestre della sua camera superiore aperte verso Gerusalemme, tre volte al giorno si metteva in ginocchi, pregava e rendeva grazie al suo Dio, come soleva fare per l’addietro. ¹¹ Allora quegli uomini accorsero tumultuosamente, e trovarono Daniele che faceva richieste e supplicazioni al suo Dio. ¹² Poi s’accostarono al re, e gli parlarono del divieto reale: "Non hai tu firmato un divieto, per il quale chiunque entro lo spazio di trenta giorni farà qualche richiesta a qualsivoglia dio o uomo tranne che a te, o re, deve essere gettato nella fossa de’ leoni?" Il re rispose e disse: "La cosa è stabilita, conformemente alla legge dei Medi e de’ Persiani, che è irrevocabile". ¹³ Allora quelli ripresero a dire in presenza del re: "Daniele, che è fra quelli che son stati menati in cattività da Giuda, non tiene in alcun conto né te, o re, né il divieto che tu hai firmato, ma prega il suo Dio tre volte al giorno".

Jokio apsileidimo nė kaltės nebuvo surasta jame. ⁵ Tie vyrai kalbėjo: “Mes nerasime jokios priežasties apkaltinti Danielių, nebent kuo nors iš jo Dievo įstatymo”. ⁶ Valdovai ir vietininkai, susirinkę pas karalių, tarė: “Karaliau Darijau, gyvuok per amžius! ⁷ Visi karalystės vietininkai, valdovai, kunigaikščiai, patarėjai ir valdytojai susitarė prašyti karaliaus išleisti nutarimą ir jį patvirtinti, kad kiekvienas, kuris per trisdešimt dienų prašys ko nors iš bet kokio dievo ar žmogaus, o ne iš tavęs, karaliau, būtų įmestas į liūtų duobę! ⁸ Karaliau, išleisk nutarimą ir pasirašyk jį, kad jis nebūtų pakeistas ar atšauktas pagal medų ir persų įstatymą”. ⁹ Karalius Darijus išleido nutarimą ir pasirašė. ¹⁰ Kai Danielius sužinojo, kad toks nutarimas pasirašytas, parėjo į savo namus. Aukštutiniame kambaryje langai buvo atidengti į Jeruzalės pusę ir tris kartus per dieną jis atsiklaupęs melsdavosi ir dėkodavo savo Dievui, kaip ir anksčiau darydavo. ¹¹ Tada šitie vyrai susirinko ir rado Danielių, besimeldžiantį ir beprašantį savo Dievą. ¹² Atėję pas karalių, jie sakė: “Ar nepaskelbei raštu nutarimo, kad kiekvienas, kuris per trisdešimt dienų ko nors prašys iš bet kokio dievo ar žmogaus, o ne iš tavęs, karaliau, būtų įmestas į liūtų duobę?” Karalius atsakė: “Tas nutarimas yra tvirtas kaip medų ir persų įstatymas, kuris yra neatšaukiamas!” ¹³ Jie atsiliepė ir tarė: “Danielius, vienas iš Judo tremtinių, nepaiso tavęs, karaliau, nė tavo nutarimo, kurį pasirašei. Jis tris kartus per dieną meldžiasi!”

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Tedy książęta i starostowie szukali, aby znaleźli przyczynę przeciwko Danijelowi z strony królestwa; wszakże żadnej przyczyny ani wady znaleść nie mogli, ponieważ on był wiernym, ani żadna wina ani wada nie znajdowała się w nim. ⁵ Przetoż rzekli oni mężowie: Nie znajdziemy przeciwko temu Danijelowi żadnej przyczyny, chyba żebyśmy co znaleźli przeciwko niemu w zakonie Boga jego. ⁶ Tedy oni książęta i starostowie zgromadzili się do króla, i tak mu rzekli: Daryjuszu królu, żyj na wieki! ⁷ Uradzili wszyscy książęta królestwa, przełożeni i starostowie, urzędnicy i hetmani, aby postanowiony był dekret królewski, i stwierdzony wyrok, aby każdy, któryby do trzydziestu dni o cokolwiek prosił którego boga albo człowieka oprócz ciebie, królu! był wrzucony do dołu lwiego. ⁸ A tak teraz, o królu! potwierdź ten wyrok, a podaj go na piśmie, żeby się nie odmienił według prawa Medskiego i Perskiego, które się nie odmienia. ⁹ Skąd król Daryjusz podał na piśmie ten wyrok. ¹⁰ Czego gdy się Danijel dowiedział, że był podany na piśmie, wszedł do domu swego, gdzie otworzone były okna w pokoju jego przeciw Jeruzalemowi, a trzy kroć przez dzień klękał na kolana swoje, i modlił się, a chwałę dawał Bogu swemu, jako to był z wykł przedtem czynić. ¹¹ Tedy oni mężowie zgromadziwszy się, a znalazłszy Danijela modlącego się i prośby wylewającego do Boga swego, ¹² Przystąpili i mówili królowi o wyroku królewskim: Izaliś wyroku nie wydał, aby każdy człowiek, któryby do trzydziestu dni o cokolwiek prosił którego boga albo człowieka oprócz ciebie, królu! był wrzucony do dołu lwiego? Odpowiedział król, i rzekł : Prawdziwa to mowa według prawa Medskiego i Perskiego, które się nie odmienia. ¹³ Tedy odpowiadając rzekli do króla: Ten Danijel, który jest z więźniów synów Judzkich, nie ma względu na cię, o królu! ani na twój wyrok, któryś wydał; bo trzy kroć przez dzień odprawuje modlitwy swoje.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Nisso os presidentes e os sátrapas procuravam achar ocasião contra Daniel a respeito do reino mas não podiam achar ocasião ou falta alguma; porque ele era fiel, e não se achava nele nenhum erro nem falta. ⁵ Pelo que estes homens disseram: Nunca acharemos ocasião alguma contra este Daniel, a menos que a procuremos no que diz respeito a lei do seu Deus. ⁶ Então os presidentes e os sátrapas foram juntos ao rei, e disseram-lhe assim: Ó rei Dario, vive para sempre. ⁷ Todos os presidentes do reino, os prefeitos e os sátrapas, os conselheiros e os governadores, concordaram em que o rei devia baixar um decreto e publicar o respectivo interdito, que qualquer que, por espaço de trinta dias, fizer uma petição a qualquer deus, ou a qualquer homem, excepto a ti, ó rei, seja lançado na cova dos leões. ⁸ Agora pois, ó rei, estabelece o interdito, e assina o edital, para que não seja mudado, conforme a lei dos medos e dos persas, que não se pode revogar. ⁹ Em virtude disto o rei Dario assinou o edital e o interdito. ¹⁰ Quando Daniel soube que o edital estava assinado, entrou em sua casa, no seu quarto em cima, onde estavam abertas as janelas que davam para o lado de Jerusalém; e três vezes no dia se punha de joelhos e orava, e dava graças diante do seu Deus, como também antes costumava fazer. ¹¹ Então aqueles homens foram juntos, e acharam a Daniel orando e suplicando diante do seu Deus. ¹² Depois se foram à presença do rei e lhe perguntaram no tocante ao interdito real: Porventura não assinaste um interdito pelo qual todo homem que fizesse uma petição a qualquer deus, ou a qualquer homem por espaço de trinta dias, excepto a ti, ó rei, fosse lançado na cova dos leões? Respondeu o rei, e disse: Esta palavra é certa, conforme a lei dos medos e dos persas, que não se pode revogar. ¹³ Então responderam ao rei, dizendo-lhe Esse Daniel, que é dos exilados de Judá, e não tem feito caso de ti, ó rei, nem do interdito que assinaste; antes três vezes por dia faz a sua oração.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Men Daniel utmerket sig fremfor riksrådene og satrapene, fordi det var en høi ånd i ham, og kongen tenkte på å sette ham over hele riket. ⁵ Da søkte riksrådene og satrapene å finne skyld hos Daniel vedkommende rikets styrelse, men de kunde ikke finne nogen skyld eller nogen urett, eftersom han var tro, og det ikke fantes nogen forseelse eller nogen urett hos ham. ⁶ Så sa disse menn: Vi finner ingen skyld hos denne Daniel, det skulde da være at vi kunde finne noget å anklage ham for i hans gudsdyrkelse. ⁷ Da stormet disse riksråder og satraper inn til kongen og sa til ham: Kong Darius leve evindelig! ⁸ Alle riksrådene, stattholderne og satrapene, rådsherrene og landshøvdingene har rådslått om at det burde utstedes en kongelig forordning og gis et strengt forbud, at hver den som i løpet av tretti dager beder til nogen gud eller noget menneske uten til dig, konge, skal kastes i løvehulen. ⁹ Så utsted nu, konge, et sådant forbud, og la det sette op skriftlig, så det efter medernes og persernes uforanderlige lov ikke kan tilbakekalles. ¹⁰ I overensstemmelse hermed lot kong Darius sette op en skrivelse med et sådant forbud. ¹¹ Men så snart Daniel fikk vite at skrivelsen var satt op, gikk han inn i sitt hus; der hadde han i sin sal åpne vinduer som vendte mot Jerusalem, og tre ganger om dagen bøide han sine knær med bønn og lovprisning for sin Guds åsyn, aldeles som han hadde gjort før. ¹² Da stormet disse menn inn og fant Daniel bedende og bønnfallende for sin Gud. ¹³ Så gikk de frem for kongen og spurte med tanke på det kongelige forbud: Har du ikke latt sette op et forbud, at hvert menneske som i løpet av tretti dager beder til nogen gud eller noget menneske uten til dig, konge, skal kastes i løvehulen? Kongen svarte: Det ord står fast efter medernes og persernes uforanderlige lov.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Atunci căpeteniile şi dregătorii au căutat să afle ceva asupra lui Daniel, ca să -l pîrască în ce privea treburile împărăţiei. Dar n'au putut să găsească nimic, niciun lucru vrednic de mustrare, pentrucă el era credincios, şi nu se găsea nici o greşală la el şi niciun lucru rău. ⁵ Atunci oamenii aceştia au zis:,,Nu vom găsi niciun cuvînt de plîngere împotriva acestui Daniel, afară numai dacă am găsi vreunul în Legea Dumnezeului lui!`` ⁶ Apoi aceste căpetenii şi dregătorii aceştia s'au dus cu mare zarvă la împărat, şi i-au vorbit aşa:,,Să trăieşti vecinic, împărate Dariu!`` ⁷ Toate căpeteniile împărăţiei, îngrijitorii, dregătorii, sfetnicii, şi cîrmuitorii sînt de părere să se dea o poruncă împărătească, însoţită de o aspră oprire, care să spună că oricine va înălţa, în timp de trei zeci de zile, rugăciuni către vreun dumnezeu sau către vreun om, afară de tine, împărate, va fi aruncat în groapa cu lei. ⁸ Acum, împărate, întăreşte oprirea, şi iscăleşte porunca aceasta, pentru ca să nu se poată schimba, după legea Mezilor şi Perşilor, care, odată dată, rămîne neschimbată.`` ⁹ În urma celor de mai sus, împăratul Dariu a scris porunca şi oprirea. ¹⁰ Cînd a aflat Daniel că s'a iscălit porunca, a intrat în casa lui, unde ferestrele odăii de sus erau deschise înspre Ierusalim, şi de trei ori pe zi îngenunchea, se ruga şi lăuda pe Dumnezeul lui, cum făcea şi mai înainte. ¹¹ Atunci oamenii aceştia au dat năvală în casă, şi au găsit pe Daniel rugîndu-se şi chemînd pe Dumnezeul lui. ¹² Apoi s'au înfăţişat înaintea împăratului, şi i-au zis cu privire la oprirea împărătească:,,N'ai scris tu o oprire, care spune că oricine va înălţa, timp de trei zeci de zile, rugăciuni vreunui dumnezeu sau vreunui om, afară de tine, împărate, să fie aruncat în groapa cu lei?,,Împăratul a răspuns:,,Lucrul acesta este adevărat, după legea Mezilor şi Perşilor, care nu se poate schimba!`` ¹³ Ei au luat din nou cuvîntul şi au zis împăratului:,,Daniel, unul din prinşii de război ai lui Iuda, nu ţine deloc seama de tine, împărate, nici de oprirea pe care ai scris -o, şi îşi face rugăciunea de trei ori pe zi!``

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Тоді цей Даниїл блищав над найвищими урядниками та сатрапами, бо в ньому був високий дух, і цар задумував поставити його над усім царством. ⁵ Тоді найвищі урядники та сатрапи стали шукати причини оскаржити Даниїла в справі царства, але жодної причини чи вади знайти не могли, бо той був вірний, і жодна помилка чи вада не була знайдена на нього. ⁶ Тоді ці люди сказали: Ми не знайдемо на цього Даниїла жодної причини, якщо не знайдемо проти нього в законі його Бога. ⁷ Тоді найвищі урядники та ті сатрапи поспішили до царя, і так йому говорили: Царю Даріє, живи навіки! ⁸ Нарадилися всі найвищі урядники царства, заступники та сатрапи, радники та підсатрапи встановити царську постанову та видати заборону, щоб аж до тридцяти день кожен, хто буде просити яке прохання від якогобудь бога чи людини, крім від тебе, о царю, був укинений до лев'ячої ями. ⁹ Тепер, царю, затверди цю заборону, і напиши це писання, яке не могло б бути змінене за законом мідян та персів, що не міг би бути відмінений. ¹⁰ Тому цар Дарій написав це писання та заборону. ¹¹ А Даниїл, коли довідався, що було написане те писання, пішов до свого дому, а вікна його в його горниці були відчинені навпроти Єрусалиму, і в три усталені порі на день він падав на свої коліна, і молився та славив свого Бога, бо робив так і перед тим. ¹² Тоді ці мужі поспішили до нього, і знайшли Даниїла, що він просив та благав свого Бога. ¹³ Тоді вони підійшли й розповіли перед царем про царську заборону: Чи ж не написав ти заборони, що кожна людина, яка буде просити аж до тридцяти день від якогобудь бога чи людини, окрім від тебе, царю, буде вкинена до лев'ячої ями? Цар відповів та й сказав: Це слово певне, як право мідян та персів, що не може бути відмінене.
