РСП (66 кн.) [6:12] потом пришли и сказали царю о царском повелении: не ты ли подписал указ, чтобы всякого человека, который в течение тридцати дней будет просить какого‐либо бога или человека, кроме тебя, царь, бросать в львиный ров? Царь отвечал и сказал: это слово твердо, как закон Мидян и Персов, не допускающий изменения.

НРП [6:12] Тогда они пошли к царю и говорили с ним о его царском запрете: — Разве не ты подписал запрет, по которому того, кто в течение следующих тридцати дней будет молиться иному богу или человеку, кроме тебя, о царь, бросили бы в яму со львами? Царь ответил: — Это воистину так, по законам мидян и персов, которые не подлежат отмене.

Заокская (Кулаков) Тогда они объявили царю: «Даниил, один из переселенных пленников иудейских, не чтит ни тебя, ни тобою подписанного указа и по-прежнему трижды в день молится своему Богу».

ВП [6:12] Тогда они пошли к царю и говорили с ним о его царском запрете: — Разве ты не подписал запрета, по которому того, кто в течение следующих тридцати дней будет молиться иному богу или человеку, кроме тебя, о царь, бросили бы в яму со львами? Царь ответил: — Это воистину так, по законам мидян и персов, которые не подлежат отмене.

СП (БЛ) [6:12] Они отправились к царю и стали говорить о законе, который тот издал. Они сказали: «Царь Дарий, не ты ли подписал закон, который говорит о том, что в последующие тридцать дней тот, кто станет молиться какому-либо иному богу или человеку, кроме тебя, царь, будет брошен в львиное логово?» Царь ответил: «Да, я подписал этот закон, а законы мидян и персов не могут быть отменены или изменены».
