I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

Verse 26 is found in chapter 6 of Daniel. Darius proclaims a decree to all peoples and recognizes Daniel’s God as the living God whose kingdom will not be destroyed. The proclamation repeats a central conviction of the book: human rulers appear for a generation, while God’s dominion remains. The language also recalls Nebuchadnezzar’s confessions, forming a series of imperial testimonies to divine sovereignty.

Da ließ der König Darius schreiben allen Völkern, Leuten und Zungen auf der ganzen Erde: "Viel Friede zuvor!
De parte mía es puesta ordenanza, que en todo el señorío de mi reino todos teman y tiemblen de la presencia del Dios de Daniel: porque él es el Dios viviente y permanente por todos los siglos, y su reino tal que no será desecho, y su señorío hasta el fin.
J'ordonne que, dans toute l'étendue de mon royaume, on ait de la crainte et de la frayeur pour le Dieu de Daniel. Car il est le Dieu vivant, et il subsiste éternellement; son royaume ne sera jamais détruit, et sa domination durera jusqu'à la fin.
Da parte mia è fatto un decreto: che in tutto l’imperio del mio regno si riverisca, e tema l’Iddio di Daniele; perciocchè egli è l’Iddio vivente, e che dimora in eterno; e il suo regno è un regno che non sarà giammai distrutto, e la sua signoria durerà infino al fine.
Da minha parte é feito um decreto, pelo qual em todo o domínio do meu reino os homens tremam e temam perante o Deus de Daniel; porque ele é o Deus vivo e que permanece para sempre, e o seu reino não se pode destruir, e o seu domínio durará até o fim.
現在我降旨,我所統轄全國的人民,都要在 但以理 的上帝面前戰兢畏懼。 因為他是活的上帝, 永遠長存, 他的國度永不敗壞, 他的權柄永存無極!
