Forsooth Daniel ate with the king, and was honoured above all the friends of him. [Forsooth Daniel was meat-frère of the king, and honoured above all the friends of him.]

Also an idol, Bel by name, was at Babylon, and twelve measures of clean flour, of which measures each contained three bushels, and forty sheep, and six measures of wine, that be called amphoras, were spended in it (or were spent upon it) each day. [And an idol, Bel by name, was with (the) men of Babylon, and there were spended in it by all days twelve measures artabis, and one contained three bushels of flour, and forty sheep, and of wine six amphoras.]

And the king worshipped that Bel, and went each day to honour him; certainly Daniel worshipped his God. And the king said to him, Why worshippest thou not Bel? [And the king worshipped him, and went by all days for to honour it; forsooth Daniel honoured his God. And the king said to him, Why honourest thou not Bel?]

And when thou comest (in) early, if thou findest not all things eaten of (or by) Bel, we shall die by death, either Daniel shall die, that lied against us. [And when thou shalt come in early, no but thou shalt find all things eaten of Bel, by death we shall die, or Daniel, that lied against us.]

Forsooth it was done, after that they went out, and the king setted (forth) (the) meats before Bel, Daniel commanded to his children (or to his servants), and they brought ashes, and he riddled (them) through(out) all the temple, before the king (alone). And (then) they went out, and closed the door, and asealed (it) with the ring of the king, and went forth. [Forsooth it is done, after that they went out, and the king putted meats before Bel, Daniel commanded his children, and they brought to ashes, and by all the temple he riddled before the king. And they gone out closed the door, and sealing with ring of the king went away.]

But the priests entered in the night, by their custom, and the wives, and (the) children of them, and ate and drank all things. [Soothly the priests went in in night, after their custom, and wives, and sons of them, and ate all the things, and drank.]

Therefore Daniel took pitch, and tallow, and hairs, and seethed (them) together; and he made gobbets, and gave (them) into the mouth of the dragon, and the dragon was all-broken. And Daniel said, Lo! whom ye worship. (And so Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and boiled it all up, and he made lumps of it, and put it into the mouth of the snake, and the snake burst apart. And Daniel said, Behold! whom or what ye worship.) [Therefore Daniel took pitch, and fatness, and hairs, and seethed together; and he made gobbets, and gave into the mouth of the dragon, and the dragon is burst. And Daniel said, Lo! whom ye worship.]

Then the king said, They that dwell in all the earth, dread the God of Daniel, for he is God living into worlds (or he is the living God forevermore); he is (the) deliverer, and (the) Saviour, doing miracles and marvels in heaven and in earth, that delivered Daniel from the pit of (the) lions. [Then the king saith, Men dwelling in all earth, dread the God of Daniel; for he is deliverer, and saver, doing signs and miracles in heaven and in earth, that delivered Daniel of the lake of lions.]
