The queen, on account of the words of the king and his great men, to the banquet-house hath come up. Answered hath the queen, and said, `O king, to the ages live; let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor thy countenance be changed:

מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”

there is a man in thy kingdom in whom `is' the spirit of the holy gods: and, in the days of thy father, light, and understanding, and wisdom -- as the wisdom of the gods -- was found in him; and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, chief of the scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him -- thy father, O king --

וּמַלְכָּ֤א (מַלְכָּ֤) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּֽא׃ (מַלְכָּֽ) mal.Ka “king”

because that an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of enigmas, and loosing of knots was found in him, in Daniel, whose name the king made Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and the interpretation he doth show.'

מַלְכָּ֥א (מַלְכָּ֥) mal.Ka “king”

Then Daniel hath been caused to come up before the king; answered hath the king, and said to Daniel, `Thou art that Daniel who `art' of the sons of the Removed of Judah, whom the king my father brought in out of Judah?

Then hath Daniel answered and said before the king, `Thy gifts be to thyself, and thy fee to another give; nevertheless, the writing I do read to the king, and the interpretation I cause him to know;

and higher than they three presidents, of whom Daniel `is' first, that these satraps may give to them an account, and the king have no loss.

וּמַלְכָּ֖א (מַלְכָּ֖) mal.Ka “king”

Then this Daniel hath been overseer over the presidents and satraps, because that an excellent spirit `is' in him, and the king hath thought to establish him over the whole kingdom.

וּמַלְכָּ֣א (מַלְכָּ֣) mal.Ka “king”

Then these presidents and satraps have assembled near the king, and thus they are saying to him: `O king Darius, to the ages live!

מַלְכָּ֑א (מַלְכָּ֑) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֖א (מַלְכָּ֖) mal.Ka “king”

Taken counsel have all the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the counsellors, and the governors, to establish a royal statute, and to strengthen an interdict, that any who seeketh a petition from any god and man until thirty days, save of thee, O king, is cast into a den of lions.

מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”

Now, O king, thou dost establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it is not to be changed, as a law of Media and Persia, that doth not pass away.'

מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”

Therefore king Darius hath signed the writing and interdict.

מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”

then they have come near, yea, they are saying before the king concerning the king's interdict: `Hast thou not signed an interdict, that any man who seeketh from any god and man until thirty days, save of thee, O king, is cast into a den of lions?' Answered hath the king, and said, `The thing `is' certain as a law of Media and Persia, that doth not pass away.'

Then they have answered, yea, they are saying before the king, that, `Daniel, who `is' of the sons of the Removed of Judah, hath not placed on thee, O king, `any' regard, nor on the interdict that thou hast signed, and three times in a day he is seeking his petition.'

מַלְכָּא֒ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”

Then the king, when he hath heard the matter, is greatly displeased at himself, and on Daniel he hath set the heart to deliver him, and till the going up of the sun he was arranging to deliver him.

מַלְכָּ֜א (מַלְכָּ֜) mal.Ka “king”

Then these men have assembled near the king, and are saying to the king, `know, O king, that the law of Media and Persia `is': That any interdict and statute that the king doth establish is not to be changed.'

מַלְכָּ֑א (מַלְכָּ֑) mal.Ka “king”לְמַלְכָּ֗א (מַלְכָּ֗) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֥א (מַלְכָּ֥) mal.Ka “king”

Then the king hath said, and they have brought Daniel, and have cast `him' into a den of lions. The king hath answered and said to Daniel, `Thy God, whom thou art serving continually, Himself doth deliver thee.'

מַלְכָּ֣א (מַלְכָּ֣) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”

And a stone hath been brought and placed at the mouth of the den, and the king hath sealed it with his signet, and with the signet of his great men, that the purpose be not changed concerning Daniel.

מַלְכָּ֜א (מַלְכָּ֜) mal.Ka “king”

Then hath the king gone to his palace, and he hath passed the night fasting, and dahavan have not been brought up before him, and his sleep hath fled `from' off him.

מַלְכָּ֤א (מַלְכָּ֤) mal.Ka “king”

Then doth the king rise in the early morning, at the light, and in haste to the den of lions he hath gone;

מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”

and at his coming near to the den, to Daniel, with a grieved voice, he crieth. The king hath answered and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, thy God, whom thou art serving continually, is He able to deliver thee from the lions?'

מַלְכָּ֜א (מַלְכָּ֜) mal.Ka “king”

Then Daniel hath spoken with the king: `O king, to the ages live:

מַלְכָּ֖א (מַלְכָּ֖) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֖א (מַלְכָּ֖) mal.Ka “king”

my God hath sent His messenger, and hath shut the lions' mouths, and they have not injured me: because that before Him purity hath been found in me; and also before thee, O king, injury I have not done.'
