- 于是,总长和总督纷纷聚集来见王,说,愿大利乌王万岁。
- 国中的总长,钦差,总督,谋士,和巡抚彼此商议,要立一条坚定的禁令(或作求王下旨要立一条云云),三十日内,不拘何人,若在王以外,或向神或向人求什么,就必扔在狮子坑中。
- 王阿,现在求你立这禁令,加盖玉玺,使禁令决不更改。照玛代和波斯人的例是不可更改的。
- 于是大利乌王立这禁令,加盖玉玺。
- 但以理知道这禁令盖了玉玺,就到自己家里(他楼上的窗户开向耶路撒冷),一日三次,双膝跪在他神面前,祷告感谢,与素常一样。

- Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
- 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 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.
- 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 altereth not.
- Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
- 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 upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
