Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 3 of Daniel. Nebuchadnezzar erects a massive image and gathers representatives from throughout the empire to inaugurate it through a public ceremony. The scene turns political loyalty into a religious test: everyone must bow when the music sounds. The later conflict arises precisely because Daniel’s friends cannot accept that obedience to imperial power includes an act of worship incompatible with their faithfulness to God.

Und der König Nebukadnezar sandte nach den Fürsten, Herren, Landpflegern, Richtern, Vögten, Räten, Amtleuten und allen Gewaltigen im Lande, daß sie zusammenkommen sollten, das Bild zu weihen, daß der König Nebukadnezar hatte setzen lassen.
Y envió el rey Nabucodonosor a juntar los grandes, los asistentes y capitanes, oidores, receptores, los del consejo, presidentes, y a todos los gobernadores de las provincias, para que viniesen a la dedicación de la estatua que el rey Nabucodonosor había levantado.
Le roi Nebucadnetsar fit convoquer les satrapes, les intendants et les gouverneurs, les grands juges, les trésoriers, les jurisconsultes, les juges, et tous les magistrats des provinces, pour qu'ils se rendissent à la dédicace de la statue qu'avait élevée le roi Nebucadnetsar.
E il re Nebucadnesar mandò a radunare i satrapi, i magistrati, e i duchi, i giudici, i tesorieri, i senatori, i presidenti, e tutti i rettori delle provincie, per venire alla dedicazione della statua, che il re Nebucadnesar avea rizzata.
Então o rei Nabucodonosor mandou reunir os príncipes, os prefeitos, os governadores, os conselheiros, os tesoureiros, os juízes, os capitães, e todos os oficiais das províncias, para que viessem à consagração da estátua que o rei Nabucodonosor tinha levantado.
