1 Mfumu Nebukadinezara anapangitsa fano la golide lotalika mamita 27 ndi mulifupi mwake mamita atatu, ndipo analiyimika mʼchigwa cha Dura mʼchigawo cha Babuloni.
Nabugodonosor, the kyng, made a goldun ymage, in the heiythe of sixti cubitis, and in the breede of sixe cubitis; and he settide it in the feeld of Duram, of the prouynce of Babiloyne.
2 Kenaka iye anayitanitsa akalonga, abwanamkubwa, nduna, aphungu, asungichuma, oweruza milandu, anyakwawa ndi akulu ena onse a madera a dzikolo, kuti abwere ku mwambo wotsekula fano limene analiyimika lija.
Therfor Nabugodonosor sente to gadere togidere the wise men, magistratis, and iugis, and duykis, and tirauntis, and prefectis, and alle princes of cuntreis, that thei schulden come togidere to the halewyng of the ymage, which the kyng Nabugodonosor hadde reisid.
3 Choncho akalonga, abwanamkubwa, nduna, aphungu, asungichuma, oweruza milandu, anyakwawa, ndi akulu ena onse a madera a dzikolo, anasonkhana kudzachita mwambo wotsekulira fano limene mfumu Nebukadinezara analiyimika, ndipo mlaliki anayimirira pamaso pa fanolo nati:
Thanne the wise men, magistratis, and iugis, and duykis, and tirauntis, and beste men, that weren set in poweris, and alle the princes of cuntreis, weren gaderid togidere, that thei schulden come togidere to the halewyng of the ymage, which the kyng Nabugodonosor hadde reisid. Forsothe thei stoden in the siyt of the ymage, which Nabugodonosor hadde set; and a bedele criede myytili,
4 “Inu anthu a mitundu yonse ndi a ziyankhulo zonse, mukulamulidwa kuti muchite izi: mitundu ya anthu ndi a chiyankhulo chilichonse
It is seid to you, puplis, kynredis, and langagis;
5 mukadzamva kulira kwa lipenga, chitoliro, zeze, sansi, chisakasa, mngoli ndi nyimbo za mtundu uliwonse, muyenera kulambira ndi kupembedza fano la golide limene mfumu Nebukadinezara analiyimika.
in the our in which ye heren the soun of trumpe, and of pipe, and of harpe, of sambuke, of sawtre, and of symphonye, and of al kynde of musikis, falle ye doun, and worschipe the goldun ymage, which the kyng Nabugodonosor made.
6 Aliyense amene sadzalambira ndi kupembedza adzaponyedwa nthawi yomweyo mʼngʼanjo ya moto.”
Sotheli if ony man fallith not doun, and worschipith not, in the same our he schal be sent in to the furneis of fier brennynge.
7 Choncho anthu onse aja atangomva kulira kwa lipenga, chitoliro, zeze, sansi, chisakasa, mngoli ndi nyimbo za mtundu uliwonse, analambira ndi kupembedza fano la golide limene mfumu Nebukadinezara analiyimika.
Therfor aftir these thingis, anoon as alle puplis herden the sown of trumpe, of pipe, and of harpe, of sambuke, and of sawtre, of symphonye, and of al kynde of musikis, alle puplis, lynagis, and langagis fellen doun, and worschipiden the golden ymage, which the kyng Nabugodonosor hadde maad.
8 Pa nthawi imeneyi alawuli ena anafika ndi kuwanenera zoyipa Ayuda.
And anoon in that tyme men of Caldee neiyiden, and accusiden the Jewis,
9 Iwo anati kwa mfumu Nebukadinezara, “Inu mfumu mukhale ndi moyo wautali!
and seiden to the kyng Nabugodonosor, Kyng, lyue thou with outen ende.
10 Inu mfumu, mwakhazikitsa lamulo kuti aliyense akamva kulira kwa lipenga, chitoliro, zeze, sansi, chisakasa, mngoli ndi nyimbo za mtundu uliwonse, ayenera kulambira ndi kupembedza fano la golide,
Thou, kyng, hast set a decree, that ech man that herith the sown of trumpe, of pipe, and of harpe, of sambuke, and of sawtree, and of symphonye, and of al kynde of musikis, bowe doun hym silf, and worschipe the goldun ymage; forsothe if ony man fallith not doun,
11 ndi kuti aliyense osalambira ndi kupembedza adzaponyedwa mʼngʼanjo ya moto.
and worschipith not, be he sent in to the furneis of fier brennynge.
12 Koma alipo Ayuda ena Sadirake, Mesaki ndi Abedinego amene munawayika kuti ayangʼanire ntchito ya dera la ku Babuloni. Anthu amenewa sakumvera inu mfumu. Iwo sakutumikira milungu yanu kapena kulambira fano la golide limene munaliyimikalo.”
Therfor men Jewis ben, Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, whiche thou hast ordeynede on the werkis of the cuntrei of Babiloyne. Thou kyng, these men han dispisid thi decree; thei onouren not thi goddis, and thei worshipen not the goldun ymage, which thou reisidist.
13 Tsono Nebukadinezara anakwiya ndi kupsa mtima kwambiri, ndipo anayitanitsa Sadirake, Mesaki ndi Abedenego. Choncho amuna awa anabwera pamaso pa mfumu,
Thanne Nabugodonosor comaundide, in woodnesse and in wraththe, that Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago schulden be brouyt; whiche weren brouyt anoon in the siyt of the kyng.
14 ndipo Nebukadinezara anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndi zoona, Sadirake, Mesaki ndi Abedenego, kuti simukutumikira milungu yanga kapena kupembedza fano la golide ndinaliyikalo?
And the kyng Nabugodonosor pronounside, and seide to hem, Whether verili Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, ye onouren not my goddis, and worschipen not the golden ymage, which Y made?
15 Tsopano ngati muli okonzeka kulambira ndi kupembedza fano ndinalipanga, mukangomva kulira kwa lipenga chitoliro, zeze, sansi, chisakasa, mngoli ndi nyimbo za mtundu uliwonse, muchita bwino. Koma ngati simulipembedza, mudzaponyedwa mʼnganjo ya moto. Nanga ndi mulungu uti amene adzatha kukupulumutsani mʼmanja anga?”
Now therfor be ye redi, in what euer our ye heren the sown of trumpe, of pipe, of harpe, of sambuke, of sawtree, and of symphonye, and of al kynde of musikis, bowe ye doun you, and worschipe the ymage which Y made; that if ye worschipen not, in the same our ye schulen be sent in to the furneis of fier brennynge; and who is God, that schal delyuere you fro myn hond?
16 Sadirake, Mesaki ndi Abedenego anayankha mfumu Nebukadinezara kuti, “Sikoyenera kuti tikuyankheni pa nkhani imeneyi.
Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago answeriden, and seiden to the king Nabugodonosor, It nedith not, that we answere of this thing to thee.
17 Ngati tiponyedwa mʼngʼanjo ya moto, Mulungu amene timamutumikira akhoza kutipulumutsa ku ngʼanjo yamotoyo, ndipo adzatilanditsa mʼdzanja lanu mfumu.
For whi oure God, whom we worschipen, mai rauysche vs fro the chymenei of fier brennynge, and mai delyuere fro thin hondis, thou kyng.
18 Koma ngakhale Mulungu wathu atapanda kutipulumutsa, tikufuna mudziwe inu mfumu, kuti sitidzatumikira milungu yanu kapena kupembedza fano la golide limene munaliyimika.”
That if he nyle, be it knowun to thee, thou kyng, that we onouren not thi goddis, and we worschipen not the goldun ymage, which thou hast reisid.
19 Pamenepo Nebukadinezara anapsa mtima ndi Sadirake, Mesaki ndi Abedenego, ndipo anayipidwa nawo. Iye analamulira kuti ngʼanjo ayitenthetse kasanu ndi kawiri kuposa nthawi zonse,
Thanne Nabugodonosor was fillid of woodnesse, and the biholdyng of his face was chaungid on Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago. And he comaundide, that the furneis schulde be maad hattere seuenfold, than it was wont to be maad hoot.
20 ndipo analamula ena mwa asilikali amphamvu kwambiri mʼgulu lake lankhondo kuti amange Sadirake, Mesaki ndi Abedenego ndi kuwaponya mʼngʼanjo ya moto.
And he comaundide to the strongeste men of his oost, that thei schulden bynde the feet of Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, and sende hem in to the furneis of fier brennynge.
21 Choncho amuna awa, atavala mikanjo yawo, mabuluku, nduwira ndi zovala zina zonse, anamangidwa ndi kuponyedwa mʼngʼanjo ya moto.
And anoon tho men weren boundun, with brechis, and cappis, and schoon, and clothis, and weren sent in to the myddis of the furneis of fier brennynge;
22 Tsono popeza lamulo la mfumu linali lofulumiza, ngʼanjo inatenthetsedwa kowirikiza mwakuti malawi ake anapha asilikali amene ananyamula Sadirake, Mesaki ndi Abedenego,
for whi comaundement of the kyng constreinede. Forsothe the furneis was maad ful hoot; certis the flawme of the fier killid tho men, that hadden sent Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago in to the furneis.
23 ndipo anyamata atatuwa, ali chimangidwire, anagwera mʼngʼanjo ya moto.
Sotheli these thre men, Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago, fellen doun boundun in the mydis of the chymenei of fier brennynge.
24 Kenaka mfumu Nebukadinezara anadabwa ndipo anafunsa nduna zake kuti, “Kodi sanali amuna atatu amene anamangidwa ndi kuponyedwa mʼmoto?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ndi zoonadi, mfumu.”
Thanne kyng Nabugodonosor was astonyed, and roos hastily, and seide to hise beste men, Whether we senten not thre men feterid in to the myddis of the fier? Whiche answeriden the kyng, and seiden, Verili, kyng.
25 Iye anati, “Taonani! Ndikuona amuna anayi akuyendayenda mʼmoto, osamangidwa ndi osapwetekedwa ndipo wachinayi akuoneka ngati mwana wa milungu.”
The kyng answeride, and seide, Lo! Y se foure men vnboundun, and goynge in the myddis of the fier, and no thing of corrupcioun is in hem; and the licnesse of the fourthe is lijk the sone of God.
26 Pamenepo Nebukadinezara anayandikira pa khomo langʼanjo ya moto ndi kufuwula kuti, “Sadirake, Mesaki ndi Abedenego, atumiki a Mulungu Wammwambamwamba, tulukani! Bwerani kuno!” Ndipo Sadirake, Mesaki ndi Abedenego anatuluka mʼmoto,
Thanne the kyng Nabugodonosor neiyide to the dore of the furneis of fier brennynge, and seide, Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, the seruauntis of hiy God lyuynge, go ye out, and come ye. And anoon Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, yeden out of the myddis of the fier.
27 ndipo akalonga, akazembe, abwanamkubwa ndi nduna zamfumu anasonkhana mowazungulira. Anaona kuti moto sunatenthe matupi awo ngakhale tsitsi kumutu kwawo silinapse; zovala zawo sizinapse, ndipo sankamveka fungo la moto.
And the wise men, and magistratis, and iugis, and miyti men of the kyng, weren gaderid togidere, and bihelden tho men, for the fier hadde had no thing of power in the bodies of hem, and an heer of her heed was not brent; also the breechis of hem weren not chaungid, and the odour of fier hadde not passid bi hem.
28 Kenaka Nebukadinezara anati, “Atamandike Mulungu wa Sadirake, Mesaki ndi Abedenego, amene anatumiza mngelo wake ndi kupulumutsa atumiki ake! Iwo anakhulupirira Iye ndi kunyozera lamulo la mfumu ndipo anali okonzeka kutaya moyo wawo koposa kutumikira kapena kupembedza mulungu wina aliyense wosakhala Mulungu wawo.
And Nabugodonosor brac out, and seide, Blessid be the God of hem, that is, of Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, that sente his aungel, and delyueride hise seruauntis, that bileuyden in to hym, and chaungiden the word of the kyng, and yauen her bodies, that thei schulden not serue, and that thei schulden not worschipe ony god, outakun her God aloone.
29 Tsono ndikulamula kuti anthu a mitundu ina kaya chiyankhulo china chili chonse amene anganyoze Mulungu wa Sadirake, Mesaki ndi Abedenego adulidwe nthulinthuli ndipo nyumba zawo ndidzagwetsa ndi kusandutsa bwinja, popeza palibe Mulungu amene akhoza kupulumutsa mʼnjira yotere.”
Therfor this decree is set of me, that ech puple, and langagis, and lynagis, who euer spekith blasfemye ayen God of Sidrac, and of Mysaac, and of Abdenago, perische, and his hous be distried; for noon other is God, that mai saue so.
30 Ndipo mfumu Nebukadinezara anakweza pa ntchito Sadirake, Mesaki ndi Abedenego mʼchigawo cha Babuloni.
Thanne the kyng auaunside Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, in the prouynce of Babiloyne; and sente in to al the lond a pistle, conteynynge these wordis.
