| Jacobean English | 1611 | King James | The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean. |

| Cebuano | Ang mga Caldeahanon nanubag sa atubangan sa hari, ug ming-ingon: Walay bisan usa ka tawo sa ibabaw sa yuta nga makapahayag niining butanga sa hari; kay, sanglit walay hari, ni agalon, ni punoan, nga nangutana nianang butanga sa mga mago, kun encantador kun Caldeahanon. |
| Croatian | Zvjezdari odgovoriše pred kraljem: "Nema na svijetu èovjeka koji bi takvo što mogao otkriti kralju. I stoga nijedan kralj, ma kako velik i moæan, takvo što ne traži od èarobnika, gataoca ili zvjezdara. |
| Danish | Kaldæerne svarede Kongen: "Der findes ikke et Menneske på Jorden, som kan sige, hvad Kongen ønsker at vide; aldrig har jo heller nogen Konge, hvor stor og tnægtig han end var, krævet sligt af nogen Drømmetyder, Maner eller Kaldæer; |
| Dutch | De Chaldeen antwoordden voor den koning, en zeiden: Er is geen mens op den aardbodem, die des konings woord zou kunnen te kennen geven; daarom is er geen koning, grote of heerser, die zulk een zaak begeerd heeft van enigen tovenaar, of sterrekijker, of Chaldeer. |
| Finnish | Kaldealaiset vastasivat kuninkaan edessä ja sanoivat: "Ei ole maan päällä ihmistä, joka kykenisi selittämään sen, mitä kuningas sanoi. Eikä yksikään suuri ja voimallinen kuningas ole koskaan vaatinut tämänkaltaista asiaa keneltäkään tietäjältä, noidalta tai kaldealaiselta. |
| French | Les Chaldéens répondirent au roi: Il n`est personne sur la terre qui puisse dire ce que demande le roi; aussi jamais roi, quelque grand et puissant qu`il ait été, n`a exigé une pareille chose d`aucun magicien, astrologue ou Chaldéen. |
| German | Da antworteten die Chaldäer vor dem König und sprachen zu ihm: Es ist kein Mensch auf Erden, der sagen könne, was der König fordert. So ist auch kein König, wie groß oder mächtig er sei, der solches von irgend einem Sternseher, Weisen oder Chaldäer fordere. |

Dan belum pernah seorang raja, betapa pun besar dan mulianya, menuntut hal seperti itu dari para peramal, ahli jampi, dan orang-orang berilmu di istananya. |
| Indonesian-Terjemahan Lama | Maka sahut orang Kasdim itu di hadapan hadirat baginda, sembahnya: Bahwa di atas seluruh muka bumi seorangpun tiada yang dapat memaklumkan perkara yang tuanku titahkan; maka sebab itu tiada pernah seorang raja, jikalau besar dan berkuasa sekalipun, yang menitahkan perkara sebagainya kepada barang seorang sastrawan atau ahlulnujum atau Kasdim. |
