- Then these men came by agreement and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
- Then they approached and spoke before the king about the king's injunction, "Did you not sign an injunction that any man who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, is to be cast into the lions' den?" The king replied, "The statement is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked."
- Then they answered and spoke before the king, "Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps making his petition three times a day."
- Then, as soon as the king heard this statement, he was deeply distressed and set his mind on delivering Daniel; and even until sunset he kept exerting himself to rescue him.
- Then these men came by agreement to the king and said to the king, "Recognize, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no injunction or statute which the king establishes may be changed."

- 他們便進到王前、題王的禁令、說、王阿、三十日內不拘何人、若在王以外或向神或向人求甚麼.必被扔在獅子坑中、王不是在這禁令上蓋了玉璽麼。王回答說、實有這事、照瑪代和波斯人的例、是不可更改的。
- 他們對王說、王阿、那被擄之猶大人中的但以理不理你、也不遵你蓋了玉璽的禁令、他竟一日三次祈禱。
- 王聽見這話、就甚愁煩、一心要救但以理、籌畫解救他、直到日落的時候。
- 那些人就紛紛聚集來見王、說、王阿、當知道瑪代人和波斯人有例、凡王所立的禁令、和律例、都不可更改。
