complete verse (Daniel 6:7)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 6:7:

  • Kupsabiny: “We have come to an agreement as administrators/rulers in your kingdom, right from the lower officials, leaders, army commanders and other noble/important people. We have said that you big leader should make a decree that in the coming thirty days, no one will be allowed to worship/kneel to anything or anyone except you the king. Whoever will defy your decree shall be thrown to the lion’s den.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “All of us, the royal administrators, advisors, district officers, administrators, and governors have agreed that you ought to make a decree that for 30 days anyone who prays to any other god or man except to you will be thrown into a deep pit of lions.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “We (excl.) the administrators, mayors, governors, advisers/counselors, and commissioners of your kingdom [have] agreed to plead/request you (sing.) to make a decree/law, that for a period/[lit. inside] of 30 days, no one else will-pray to any god or man except to you (sing.) alone. And it should really be-followed/obeyed, for anyone who will-violate this order/command will-be-thrown in the hole with lions.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “We administrators and governors and district governors and advisors and other officials have all agreed that you should make a law that everyone must obey. We want you to command that for the next thirty days people may pray only to you. If anyone prays to anyone else, either to a human or to a god, he must be thrown into a pit of lions.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
