1 Darius fandt for godt at lægge Riget under 120 Satraper, fordelt over hele Riget;
It seemed good before Darius and he appointed over kingdom the satraps the one hundred and twenty who they will be over all kingdom the.
2 og over dem satte han tre Rigsraader, af hvilke Daniel var den ene, for at Satraperne skulde aflægge Regnskab for dem, saa Kongen intet Tab led.
And above more than them overseers three whom Daniel [was] one of them whom they will be satraps the these giving to them report the and king the not he will be suffering injury.
3 Da nu Daniel udmærkede sig fremfor de andre Rigsraader og Satraperne, eftersom der var en ypperlig Aand i ham, og Kongen derfor tænkte paa at sætte ham over hele Riget,
Then Daniel this he was distinguishing himself over overseers the and satraps the as to because that a spirit extraordinary [was] in him and king the [was] planning to appoint him over all kingdom the.
4 søgte Rigsraaderne og Satraperne at finde en eller anden Brøde i hans Embedsførelse; men de kunde ikke finde nogen Brøde eller Brist, da han var tro og der ingen Efterladenhed eller Brist var at finde hos ham.
Then overseers the and satraps the they were seeking an occasion to find to Daniel from [the] side of kingdom the and any occasion and corruption not [they were] able to find as to because that [was] trustworthy he and any negligence and corruption not it was found concerning him.
5 Saa sagde disse Mænd: »Vi finder ingen Sag mod denne Daniel, medmindre vi kan finde noget i hans Gudsdyrkelse.«
Then men the these [were] saying that not we will find to Daniel this any occasion except we have found concerning him in [the] law of God his.
6 Derfor stormede disse Rigsraader og Satraper til Kongen og talte saaledes til ham: »Kong Darius leve evindelig!
Then overseers the and satraps the these they came as a crowd to king the and as follows [they were] saying to him O Darius king the for ever live!
7 Alle Rigsraaderne, Landshøvdingerne, Satraperne, Raadsherrerne og Statholderne er enedes om, at et Kongebud bør udstedes og et Forbud udgaa om, at enhver, som i tredive Dage beder en Bøn til nogen anden end dig, o Konge, det være sig til en Gud eller et Menneske, skal kastes i Løvekulen.
They took counsel together all - [the] overseers of kingdom the prefects the and satraps the counselors the and governors the to establish [the] statute of king the and to make stringent a prohibition that every [one] who he will ask a petition from any god and person until days thirty except from you king O he will be thrown to [the] den of lions the.
8 Derfor skal du, o Konge, udstede Forbudet og lade en Skrivelse udgaa, som efter Medernes og Persernes uryggelige Lov ikke kan tages tilbage.«
Now king O you will establish prohibition the so you may sign writing the which not to change according to [the] law of [the] Medes and [the] Persians which not it will pass away.
9 Derfor lod Kong Darius en Skrivelse udgaa med dette Forbud.
As to because this king the Darius he signed writing the and prohibition the.
10 Men saa snart Daniel fik at vide, at Skrivelsen var udgaaet, gik han ind i sit Hus; i dets Stue paa Taget havde han aabne Vinduer i Retning mod Jerusalem, og han faldt paa Knæ tre Gange om Dagen og bad og priste sin Gud, ganske som han tilforn havde gjort.
And Daniel as that he knew that it was signed writing the he went in to house his and windows [were] opened to it in upper room his facing Jerusalem and times three in day the he - [was] kneeling on knees his and [was] praying and [was] praising before God his as to because that he was doing from [the] former time of this.
11 Da stormede hine Mænd ind og fandt Daniel i Færd med at bede og bønfalde sin Gud.
Then men the these they came as a crowd and they found Daniel asking and imploring favor before God his.
12 Saa gik de til Kongen og bragte det kongelige Forbud paa Tale, idet de spurgte: »Har du ikke udstedt et Forbud om, at enhver, som i tredive Dage beder til nogen anden end dig, o Konge, det være sig til en Gud eller et Menneske, skal kastes i Løvekulen?« Kongen svarede: »Sagen staar fast efter Medernes og Persernes uryggelige Lov.«
Then they approached and [were] saying before king the concerning [the] prohibition of king the ¿ not a prohibition did you sign that every person who he will ask from any god and person until days thirty except from you king O he will be thrown to [the] den of lions the [was] replying king the and saying [is] certain word the according to [the] law of [the] Medes and [the] Persians which not it will pass away.
13 Saa svarede de Kongen: »Daniel, en af de bortførte Judæere, ænser hverken dig, o Konge, eller Forbudet, du udstedte, men beder sin Bøn tre Gange om Dagen!«
Then they replied and [were] saying before king the that Daniel who [is] one of [the] sons of exile the of Judah not he has set (to you *Q(k)*) king O discretion and to prohibition the which you signed and times three in day the [he is] asking petition his.
14 Da Kongen hørte dette, blev han saare nedslaaet og overvejede, hvorledes han kunde redde Daniel, og lige til Solens Nedgang søgte han at finde en Udvej til at hjælpe ham.
Then king the as that word the he heard exceedingly it was displeasing to him and concerning Daniel he set mind to deliver him and until [the] goings in of sun the he was striving to rescue him.
15 Men saa stormede hine Mænd til Kongen og sagde: »Vid, o Konge, at det er medisk og persisk Ret, at intet Forbud og ingen Lov, som Kongen udsteder, kan tages tilbage!«
Then men the these they came as a crowd to king the and [were] saying to king the know king O that [the] law of [the] Medes and [the] Persians that any prohibition and statute which king the he will establish not to change.
16 Da blev Daniel paa Kongens Bud hentet og kastet i Løvekulen; men Kongen sagde til Daniel: »Din Gud, som du vedblivende dyrker, redde dig!«
Then king the he said and they brought Daniel and they threw [him] to den the of lions the [was] replying king the and [was] saying to Daniel God your whom (you *Q(k)*) [are] paying reverence to him in continuance he may he deliver you.
17 Saa blev der hentet en Sten og lagt over Kulens Aabning; og Kongen forseglede den med sin egen og sine Stormænds Seglring, at der ingen Ændring skulde ske i Daniels Sag.
And it was brought a stone one and it was set over [the] mouth of den the and he sealed it king the with signet-ring his and with [the] signet-rings of nobles his that not it will change anything with Daniel.
18 Derpaa gik Kongen til sit Palads, hvor han fastede hele Natten. Han lod ingen Kvinder komme ind til sig, og Søvnen veg fra ham.
Then he went king the to palace his and he passed [the] night fasting and thrusting [women] not he brought in before him and sleep his it fled on him.

21 Da svarede Daniel Kongen: »Kongen leve evindelig!
Then Daniel with king the he spoke king O for ever live!
22 Min Gud sendte sin Engel og lukkede Løvernes Gab, saa de ikke har gjort mig nogen Men, fordi jeg er fundet skyldfri for hans Aasyn og heller ikke har forbrudt mig imod dig, o Konge!«
God my he sent angel his and he closed [the] mouth of lions the and not they harmed me as to because that before him innocence it was found to me and also (before you *Q(k)*) king O a hurtful act not I have done.
23 Og Kongen blev saare glad og lod Daniel drage op af Kulen; og da det var sket, viste det sig, at han ikke havde lidt nogen som helst Men, eftersom han havde troet paa sin Gud.
Then king the exceedingly it was good to him and Daniel he said to take up from den the and he was taken up Daniel from den the and any hurt not it was found on him that he had trusted in God his.
24 Men hine Mænd, som havde bagtalt Daniel, blev paa Kongens Bud hentet og kastet i Løvekulen tillige med deres Børn og Hustruer, og næppe havde de naaet Kulens Bund, før Løverne kastede sig over dem og knuste alle Ben i dem.
