12 So they approached the king and asked about his edict: "Didn't you sign an edict that for 30 days any man who petitions any god or man except you, the king, will be thrown into the lions' den?" The king answered, "As a law of the Medes and Persians, the order stands and is irrevocable."
12 Then they came near and said before the king, concerning the injunction, "O king! Did you not sign an injunction, that anyone who makes 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 and said, "The thing stands fast, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be revoked."
12 Then they came near, and spake 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.
12 They went straight to the king and reminded him of the royal decree that he had signed. "Did you not," they said, "sign a decree forbidding anyone to pray to any god or man except you for the next thirty days? And anyone caught doing it would be thrown into the lions' den?" "Absolutely," said the king. "Written in stone, like all the laws of the Medes and Persians."
12 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."

12 So they went straight to the king and reminded him about his law. “Did you not sign a law that for the next thirty days any person who prays to anyone, divine or human—except to you, Your Majesty—will be thrown into the den of lions?” “Yes,” the king replied, “that decision stands; it is an official law of the Medes and Persians that cannot be revoked.”
12 Then they approached the king and said concerning the interdict, "O king! Did you not sign an interdict, that anyone who prays to anyone, divine or human, within thirty days except to you, O king, shall be thrown into a den of lions?" The king answered, "The thing stands fast, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be revoked."
12 Depois se foram � 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, exceto 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.

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?

12 por lo cual se presentaron ante el rey y le hablaron tocante al mandato real: ¿No firmaste un mandato que cualquier hombre que en el término de treinta días hiciera petición a cualquier dios u hombre fuera de ti, oh rey, fuera echado en el foso de los leones? El rey respondió, y dijo: La orden es cierta, conforme a la ley de los medos y persas, que no puede ser revocada.
12 They then went and talked to the king about the law: "Your Majesty! Didn't you sign a law, that for thirty days any person who prays to any god or human being besides you, Your Majesty, would be thrown into a pit of lions?"

Der König antwortete und sprach: Die Sache steht fest nach dem Gesetz der Meder und Perser, welches unwiderruflich ist.
12 all of them went together to the king to accuse Daniel. They said, "Your Majesty, you signed an order that for the next thirty days anyone who requested anything from any god or from any human being except you, would be thrown into a pit filled with lions." The king replied, "Yes, that is a strict order, a law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed."

The king answered, The thing is true, according to the law of the Madai and Paras, which doesn't alter.
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, fuera 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

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."
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.
12 Und traten hinzu und redeten mit dem König von dem königlichen Gebot: Herr König, hast du nicht ein Gebot unterschrieben, daß, wer in dreißig Tagen etwas bitten würde von irgend einem Gott oder Menschen außer dir, König, allein, solle zu den Löwen in den Graben geworfen werden? Der König antwortete und sprach: Es ist wahr, und das Recht der Meder und Perser soll niemand aufheben.
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?

12 So they went to the king and talked to him about the law he had made. They said, "Didn't you sign a law that says no one may pray to any god or human except you, O king? Doesn't it say that anyone who disobeys during the next thirty days will be thrown into the lions' den?" The king answered, "Yes, that is the law, and the laws of the Medes and Persians cannot be canceled."
12 So they went to the king. They spoke to him about his royal order. They said, "King Darius, didn't you sign an official order? It said that for the next 30 days none of your people could pray to any god or man except to you. If they did, they would be thrown into the lions' den." The king answered, "The order must still be obeyed. It's one of the laws of the Medes and Persians. So it can't be changed."

—¿No firmó usted una ley por la cual, durante los próximos treinta días, todo aquel que ore a quien sea, divino o humano —excepto a usted, su Majestad—, sea arrojado al foso de los leones?
—Sí —contestó el rey—, esa decisión sigue en pie; es una ley oficial de los medos y de los persas que no puede ser revocada.
12 fueron a hablar con el rey respecto al decreto real:—¿No es verdad que Su Majestad publicó un decreto? Según entendemos, todo el que en los próximos treinta días adore a otro dios u hombre que no sea Su Majestad, será arrojado al foso de los leones.—El decreto sigue en pie —contestó el rey—. Según la ley de los medos y los persas, no puede ser derogado.
12 E foram logo falar com o rei acerca do decreto real: “Tu não publicaste um decreto ordenando que nestes trinta dias todo aquele que fizer algum pedido a qualquer deus ou a qualquer homem, exceto a ti, ó rei, será lançado na cova dos leões?”O rei respondeu: “O decreto está em vigor, conforme a lei dos medos e dos persas, que não pode ser revogada”.

Le roi répondit et dit: La chose est certaine, selon la loi des Mèdes et des Perses, qui est irrévocable.
