< 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 hath made an image of gold, its height sixty cubits, its breadth six cubits; he hath raised it up in the valley 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.
and Nebuchadnezzar the king hath sent to gather the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the honourable judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the province, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised 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 are gathered the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the honourable judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the province, to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up: and they are standing before the image that Nebuchadnezzar hath raised up.
4 To naah lok taphongkung mah, Aw kaminawk, prae kaminawk hoi lok congca pae kaminawk,
And a crier is calling mightily: 'To you they are saying: O 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:
at the time that ye hear the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, the symphony, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and do obeisance to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised 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 whoso doth not fall down and do obeisance, in that hour he is 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 are hearing the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and all kinds of music, falling down are all the peoples, nations and languages, doing obeisance to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up.
8 To naah cakaeh khet kop kaminawk angzoh o moe, Judah kaminawk to kasae net o.
Therefore at that time drawn near have certain Chaldeans, and accused the Jews;
9 Nihcae mah siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar khaeah, Aw siangpahrang, na hinglung sawk nasoe!
they have answered, yea, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, 'O king, to the ages live!
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:
Thou, O king, hast made a decree that every man who doth hear the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, doth fall down and do obeisance to the golden image;
11 akuep hoiah kabok ai kaminawk loe kangqong hmai palai thungah va oh, tiah lokpaekhaih to na sak.
and whoso doth not fall down and do obeisance, is 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 thou hast appointed over the work of the province of Babylon — Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, these men have not made of thee, O king, [any] regard; thy gods they are not serving, and to the golden image thou hast raised up — are not making obeisance.'
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 anger and fury, hath said to bring in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Then these men have been brought in 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 hath answered and said to them, 'Is [it] a laid plan, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego — my gods ye are not serving, and to the golden image that I have raised up ye are not doing obeisance?
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, lo, ye are ready, so that at the time that ye hear the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and do obeisance to the image that I have made! — and lo, ye do no obeisance — in that hour ye are cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; who is that God who doth 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 Abed-Nego have answered, yea, they are saying to the king Nebuchadnezzar, 'We have no need concerning this matter to answer thee.
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.
Lo, it is; our God whom we are serving, is able to deliver us from a burning fiery furnace; and from thy hand, O king, He doth deliver.
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.
And lo — not! be it known to thee, O king, that thy gods we are not serving, and to the golden image thou hast raised up we do no obeisance.'
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 Nebuchadnezzar hath been full of fury, and the expression of his face hath been changed concerning Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; he answered and said to heat the furnace seven times above that which it is seen to be heated;
20 Angmah ih thacak koek misatuh kaminawk khaeah, Shadrach, Meshach hoi Abed-nego cae to taoengh moe, hmai kamngaeh thungah vah hanah lokpaek.
and to certain mighty men who [are] in his force he hath said to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to cast 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 have been bound in their coats, their tunics, and their turbans, and their clothing, and have been 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 that the word of the king is urgent, and the furnace heated exceedingly, those men who have taken up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego — killed them hath the spark of the fire.
23 Hae kami Shadrach, Meshach hoi Abed-nego thumtonawk loe kacakah taoengh o moe, kangqong hmai kamngaeh thungah a nuih o.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace — bound.
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 hath been astonished, and hath risen in haste; he hath answered and said to his counsellors, 'Have we not cast three men into the midst of the fire — bound?' They have answered and are saying to the king, 'Certainly, 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 and hath said, 'Lo, I am seeing four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth [is] like to 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 hath drawn near to the gate of the burning fiery furnace; he hath answered and said, 'Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of God Most High come forth, yea, come;' then come forth do Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, from 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.
and gathered together, the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the counsellors of the king, are seeing these men, that the fire hath no power over their bodies, and the hair of their head hath not been singed, and their coats have not changed, and the smell of fire hath not 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 hath answered and hath said, 'Blessed [is] the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who hath sent His messenger, and hath delivered His servants who trusted on Him, and the word of the king changed, and gave up their bodies that they might not serve nor do obeisance to any god except to 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.
And by me a decree is made, that any people, nation, and language, that doth speak erroneously concerning the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, pieces he is made, and its house is made a dunghill, because that there is no other god who is able thus to deliver.'
30 To pacoengah siangpahrang mah Sharach, Meshach hoi Abed-nego hanah Babylon prae ahap ukhaih hmuensang to a paek.
Then the king hath caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
