Aramit
Aramaic was the language that people in Babylon spoke.
מַלְכָּא֙ לְעָלְמִ֣ין חֱיִ֔י

The men probably said this to show the king that they were loyal to him. Alternate translation: “King, we hope you will live forever!”

The men called themselves the king’s servants to show him respect.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
