Daniel 3
1 Siangpahrang, Nebuchadnezzar mah dong quitarukto kasang, dong tarukto kawk sui krang to sak moe, Babylon prae thung ih Dura azawn ah a thling.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was eighty-eight feet seven inches, and its breadth eight feet ten inches: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
2 To pacoengah siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar mah thling ih krang raenghaih poihkung ah, prae tawnkungnawk, prae taham khohan kaminawk, prae ahap ukkungnawk, poekhaih kahoih paek kaminawk, param ih phoisa pakuem kaminawk, lokcaekkungnawk, katoengah lok khingh kaminawk, prae ahap ukhaih thungah toksah angraengnawk to nawnto patoeh boih.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
3 To pongah prae tawnkungnawk, prae taham khohan kaminawk, prae ahap ukkugnnawk, poekhaih kahoih paekkugnawk, param ih phoisa pakuem kaminawk, lokcaekkungnawk, lok katoengah khingh kaminawk, prae ahap ukhaih thungah toksah angraengnawk loe siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar mah thling ih krang raenghaih poihkung ah nawnto amkhueng o; nihcae loe Nebuchadnezzar mah thling ih krang hma ah angdoet o.
Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
4 To naah lok taphongkung mah, Aw kaminawk, prae kaminawk hoi lok congca pae kaminawk,
Then the herald cried aloud, "To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,
5 sae takii, tamoi, katoeng congca hoi atuennawk to na thaih o naah akuep oh loe, siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar mah thling ih sui krang to bok oh:
that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up;
6 mi kawbaktih doeh akuep moe, bok ai kami loe kangqong hmai palai thungah vah roep han, hae loe na pazui o hanah paek ih lok ah oh, tiah tha hoi hangh.
and whoever doesn't fall down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."
7 To pongah sae takii atuen, tamoi tuen, congca katoeng tuen hoi atuennawk to kaminawk boih mah thaih o naah, kaminawk, prae kaminawk hoi lok congca pae kaminawk loe akuep o boih moe, siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar mah thling ih sui krang to bok o.
Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 To naah cakaeh khet kop kaminawk angzoh o moe, Judah kaminawk to kasae net o.
Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.
9 Nihcae mah siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar khaeah, Aw siangpahrang, na hinglung sawk nasoe!
They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, "O king, live for ever.
10 Aw siangpahrang, kaminawk boih mah sae takii tuen, tamoi tuen, katoeng congca atuen hoi atuennawk thaih o naah, akuep oh loe sui hoi sak ih krang to bok oh:
You, O king, have made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;
11 akuep hoiah kabok ai kaminawk loe kangqong hmai palai thungah va oh, tiah lokpaekhaih to na sak.
and whoever doesn't fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Toe Aw siangpahrang, nang mah Babylon ahap ukkung ah na suek ih thoemto Judah kaminawk Shadrach, Mesach hoi Abed-nego cae loe nang to tiah doeh sah o ai; na sithawnawk to bok o ai, na thling ih sui hoiah sak ih krang doeh bok o ai, tiah a naa.
There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not regarded you: they do not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up."
13 Nebuchadnezzar loe palungphui hmai baktiah amngaeh pongah, Shadrach, Meshack hoi Abed-nego cae to kawksak. Kawk pacoengah nihcae to siangpahrang hma ah caeh o haih.
Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
14 To naah Nebuchadnezzar mah nihcae khaeah, Aw Shadrach, Meshack hoi Abed-nego, ka sithawnawk to na bok o ai moe, ka thling ih sui hoiah sak ih krang doeh na bok o ai tangtang maw? tiah a naa.
Nebuchadnezzar answered them, "Is it on purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not serve my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
15 Vaihi sae takii tuen, tamoi tuen, congca katoeng tuen hoi atuennawk na thaih o naah, ka thling ih krang to akuep hoiah na bok o nahaeloe hoi tih; toe na bok o ai nahaeloe nangcae loe kangqong hmai palai thungah vah roep ah om tih; to naah kawbaktih Sithaw mah maw ka ban thung hoiah na loih o sak tih? tiah a naa.
Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, well: but if you do not worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that god that shall deliver you out of my hands?"
16 Shadrach, Meshach hoi Abed-nego cae mah siangpahrang khaeah, Aw Nebuchadnezzar, hae hmuen pongah na lok kang pathim o mak ai.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, "Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
17 Aw siangpahrang, a tok ka sak pae o ih Sithaw mah loe kangqong hmai palai thung hoiah kaicae ang loihsak thaih, anih mah kaicae hae na ban thung hoiah loihsak tih.
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
18 Toe aw siangpahrang, anih mah to tiah na loih o sak ai langlacadoeh na sithawnawk to ka bok o mak ai, na thling ih sui hoiah sak ih krang doeh ka bok o mak ai, tiah panoeksak han ka koeh o, tiah a naa o.
But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up."
19 To naah Nebuchadnezzar loe Shadrach, Meshach hoi Abed-nego nuiah palungphui moe, nihcae nuiah mikhmai set; to pongah hmai kangqong rumram pongah alet sarihto hmai amngaehsak hanah lok a paek.
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Therefore he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.
20 Angmah ih thacak koek misatuh kaminawk khaeah, Shadrach, Meshach hoi Abed-nego cae to taoengh moe, hmai kamngaeh thungah vah hanah lokpaek.
He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 To pongah nihcae loe angmacae ih laihaw kasawk, canghnawh kasawk, lumuek, kalah khukbuennawk hoi nawnto taoengh o moe, kangqong hmai kamngaeh thungah vah o.
Then these men were bound in their cloaks, trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Siangpahrang mah paek ih lok loe rang moe, hmai kamngaeh loe bet hmoek pongah Shadrach, Meshach hoi Abed-nego hmai thungah va misatuh kaminawk to hmai palai mah kangh boih.
Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 Hae kami Shadrach, Meshach hoi Abed-nego thumtonawk loe kacakah taoengh o moe, kangqong hmai kamngaeh thungah a nuih o.
These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 To naah Nebuchadnezzar loe dawnrai pongah karangah angthawk tahang, anih poekhaih paek kaminawk khaeah, kami thumtonawk to qui hoi kacakah taoengh moe, kangqong hmai thungah a vah o na ai maw? tiah a naa.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up quickly. He spoke and said to his ministers, "Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?" They answered the king, "True, O king."
25 Anih mah, Khenah! Qui hoi taoeng ai hmai mah doeh kangh ai ah hmai kangqong thungah amkae, kami palito ka hnuk; palito haih kami loe Sithaw Capa baktiah oh, tiah a naa.
He answered, "Look, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are unharmed; and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods."
26 To pacoengah Nebuchadnezzar loe kangqong hmai kamngaeh taengah caeh moe, Sharach, Meshach hoi Abed-nego, kasang koek Sithaw ih tamnanawk, angzo oh, haeah angzo oh lai ah! tiah a naa. To pongah Sharach, Meshah hoi Abed-nego cae loe hmai palai thung hoiah angzoh o.
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come here." Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came forth out of the midst of the fire.
27 Prae tawnkungnawk, prae taham khohnan kaminawk, siangpahrang poekhaih paekkugnawk nawnto angpop o moe, hmai mah kang thai ai kami thumtonawk to a khet o; nihcae lu nui ih sam maeto mataeng doeh kangh ai, khukbuennawk doeh hmai mah kangh ai khue na ai ah, hmai hmui tetta mataeng doeh om ai.
The satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the king's ministers, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their trousers changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.
28 To naah Nebuchadnezzar mah, Shadrach, Meshach hoi Abed-nego ih Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; anih mah a tamnanawk loihsak hanah van kami to patoeh. Nihcae loe angmacae ih Sithaw to tang o pongah, ka paek ih lok to aek o moe, angmacae ih Sithaw khue to a bok o; kalah sithaw to bok moe, anih ih tok to sak pae o pongah loe, duekhaih to a qoih o lat.
Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
29 Hae tiah loihsak thaih Sithaw kalah om ai pongah, kaminawk, prae kaminawk hoi lok congca apae mi kawbaktih doeh Sharach, Meshach hoi Abed-nego ih Sithaw kasae thui kami loe, ahap ahap ah takroek moe, a imnawk doeh angpop sut anghnoeng baktiah ka suek han, tiah lok takroekhaih ka sak boeh, tiah a naa.
Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be reduced to rubble; because there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way."
30 To pacoengah siangpahrang mah Sharach, Meshach hoi Abed-nego hanah Babylon prae ahap ukhaih hmuensang to a paek.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
