27. Formal Translation And the satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king’s counselors assembled and examined the men, and they saw that the fire had no power over their bodies, nor was any hair of their heads singed, nor were their garments altered, nor had the smell of fire come upon them. |
27. Dynamic Translation Then the provincial officials and royal advisors crowded around and inspected the men, and they noticed that the flames had not harmed their bodies at all: their hair was not singed, their clothes were not harmed, and there was no smell of smoke on them. |
