| 1 | It was acceptable before Darius, and he established over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who would be over all the kingdom; | It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom 120 satraps, to be throughout the whole kingdom; | It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom, | |
| 2 | and over them three administrators, of whom Daniel was one, that these satraps should be giving an account of themselves, so that the king should not be suffering loss. | and over them three high officials, of whom Daniel was one, to whom these satraps should give account, so that the king might suffer no loss. | with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel. The satraps were made accountable to them so that the king might not suffer loss. | |
| 3 | Then this Daniel came to be distinguished over the administrators and the satraps, because that an extraordinary spirit was in him; and the king was planning to establish him over all of the kingdom. | Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other high officials and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. | Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. | |
