Daniel 3
1 Nebukhadnezzar manghai loh sui muei a sang dong sawmrhuk, a ka dong rhuk la a saii. Te Te Babylon paeng kah Dura kol ah a ling.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, [and] its breadth six cubits; he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
2 Nebukhadnezzar manghai loh muei a pai sakTe nawnnah a saii vaengah thum hamla, Nebukhadnezzar manghai loh mangpa rhoek, ukkung rhoek neh boei rhoek, olrhoep rhoek, mangmuboei rhoek, olthai rhoek, hlangcal rhoek neh paeng kah khoboei boeih Te coi hamla a tueih.
And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the justices, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
3 Te dongah ukkung mangpa rhoek neh boei olrhoep rhoek, mangmuboei rhoek, olthai hlangcal rhoek, paeng kah khoboei boeih Te manghai Nebukhadnezzar loh a pai sak muei nawnnah dongkah ham a coi. Te phoeiah Nebukhadnezzar loh a pai sak muei hmai ah pai la pai uh.
Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the justices, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
4 Te vaengah olhoe loh thadueng neh a tae tih, “Nangmih pilnam namtu neh ol cungkuem boeih aw,
And the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, [O] peoples, nations, and languages,
5 tuki, vingvoeng, rhotoeng, tingtoeng, rhopa, phung neh lumlaa rhoepsaep boeih kah ol na yaak tue vaengah Nebukhadnezzar manghai loh a ling sui muei taengah na buluk uh vetih na bakop uh ni a ti.
that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up;
6 Aka buluk tih aka bakop pawt te amah tue vaengah hmaihueng hmai tak khui la pup saeh.
and whosoever doth not fall down and worship shall that same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
7 He kong dongah amah te tue ah tah pilnam boeih loh tuki, vingvoeng, tingtoeng, rhotoeng, rhopa neh lumlaa rhoepsaep boeih kah ol te a yaak uh. Te dongah namtu pilnam boeih neh olcom olcae Te buluk uh tih Nebukhadnezzar manghai loh a pai sak sui muei taengah bakop uh.
Therefore at that time when all the peoples heard the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down [and] worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 He kong dongah he amah tekah tue ah Khalden hlang cet uh tih amih Yahudi rhoekTe tholh a pael uh.
Whereupon at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
9 Nebukhadnezzar manghai te a voek uh tih, “Manghai tah kumhal duela hing pai.
They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever!
10 Manghai namah loh hlang boeih hamla saithainah na paek tih tuki, vingvoeng, tingtoeng, rhotoeng, rhopa neh phung, phung neh lumlaa rhoepsaep boeih kah ol aka ya tah buluk saeh lamtah sui muei taengah bakop saeh.
Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;
11 Buluk neh aka bakop pawt te tah hmaihueng hmai tak khui la pup saeh na ti.
and [that] whosoever doth not fall down and worship, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Yahudi hlang rhoek om tih amih te Babylon paeng kah taemnah soah na khueh. He hlang rhoek Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego long he manghai nang kah saithainah te a ngai uh moenih. Na pathen taengah tho a thueng moenih, sui muei na pai sak taengah khaw a bakop uh moenih.
There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: these men, O king, regard thee not; they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set up.
13 Te dongah Nebukhadnezzar tah thinsanah neh kosi neh Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego te khuen hamla a thui. Te dongah Te hlang rhoek Te manghai taengla a khuen uh.
Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then were these men brought before the king.
14 Nebukhadnezzar loh a voek tih Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego rhoekTe te, “Kai kah pathen taengah tho aka thueng la na om uh pawt tih sui muei ka pai sak taengah na bakop uh pawt te oltak a?
Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said unto them, Is it of purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that ye serve not my god, nor worship the golden image that I have set up?
15 Oepsoeh la na om uh coeng atah tuki, vingvoeng, tingtoeng, rhotoeng, rhopa, phung neh lumlaa rhoepsaep boeih kah ol na yaak tue vaengahTe buluk uh lamtah muei ka saii taengah bakop uh. Na bakop uh pawt atah amah khohnin ah hmaihueng hmai tak khui la m'pup uh ni. Te dongah kai kut lamloh nangmih aka loeih sak Pathen te unim? a ti nah.
Now if ye be ready at the time that ye hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, [well]: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast that same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
16 Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego loh a doo uh tih manghai Nebukhadnezzar te, “He ol dongah he kaimih loh nang Te thuung hamla a ngoe moenih.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter.
17 Kaimih kah Pathen tah a om khaming. Hmai tak hmaihueng lamloh kaimih loeih sak ham aka noeng te ni kaimih loh ka bawk uh. Te dongah manghai, na kut lamkah khaw n'loeih sak ni.
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 thy hand, O king.
18 Te pawt mai akhaw, manghai namah taengah mingpha la om saeh. Nang kah pathen te bawk hamla ka om khaw ka om moenih. Te dongah sui muei na ling te khaw ka bakop uh mahpawh,” a ti na uh.
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set up.
19 Te vaengah Nebukhadnezzar te a kosi hah tih a maelhmai muei khaw a hoi la a hoi. Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego te a voek tih Hmaihueng te a ling m'hmuh soah voei rhih la ling sak ham a thui pah.
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
20 Amah caem khuikah tatthai hlang rhalh taengah khaw, Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego te pin ham neh hmaihueng hmai tak khuila pup ham a thui pah.
And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Te phoeiah tekah hlang rhoekTe a himbai neh, a hainak neh, a lukhuem, a pueinak neh a pin uh tih hmaihueng hmai tak khui la a pup uh.
Then these men were bound in their hosen, their tunics, and their cloaks, and their garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 He kong dongah manghai ol bangla tok coeng tih hmaihueng khaw bahoeng ling. Te dongah Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego aka khuen hlang rhoek te hmai kah hmairhong loh a ngawn.
Forasmuch as the king's commandment was rigorous, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that had taken up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
23 Amih rhoek hlang pathum, Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego tah a pin doela hmaihueng hmai tak khui la tla uh.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Tedae manghai Nebukhadnezzar tah a let neh thintawn la pai tih a doo. Te vaengah a olrhoep rhoek taengah, “M'pin doela hmai khui la m'pup he hlang pathum moenih a?” a ti nah. Aka doo rhoek long khaw manghai te, “Manghai aw ue ta,” a ti na uh.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste; he spoke and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king.
25 Koep a doo tih, “Hmai khui ah a hlam tangtae la hlang pali a caeh ka hmuh ke, amih te pocinah a om moenih. Pali khuiah khaw a pali nah te a suisak tah Pathen capa phek a loh,” a ti nah.
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of God.
26 Te phoeiah Nebukhadnezzar Te hmaihueng hmai tak kah vongka la a caeh vaengah Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego te a doek tih, “Khohni kah Khohni Pathen kah a tueihyoeih rhoek, halo uh lamtah ha pai uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego tah hmai khui lamloh cet.
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the opening of the burning fiery furnace; he spoke and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come [hither]. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came forth from the midst of the fire.
27 Te dongah ukkung mangpa rhoek neh boei neh manghai olrhoep Te tingtun uh tih a sawt vaengah tah tekah hlang rhoekTe a pum te hmai lohdo pawt tih a lu sam khaw laeh pah pawh. A himbai Te ungrhem pawt tih hmai bo long pataeng amih te a yam moenih.
And the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had had no power, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their hosen changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.
28 Nebukhadnezzar Te cal tih, “Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego kah a Pathen tah a yoethen pai saeh. Amah loh a puencawn a tueih tih amah dongah aka pangtung a tueihyoeih rhoek te a loeih sak. Manghai ol a poe uh tih amamih pum khaw a pum te a paek uh. Te dongah amamih Pathen phoeiah tah Pathen boeih taengah thothueng uh pawt tih bakop uh pawh.
Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and who changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God!
29 Te dongah namtu pilnam boeih neh olcom olcae khaw Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego kah a Pathen te dalrhanah neh vapsa la aka thui tah, maehpoel la sah saeh lamtah a im Te kawnhnawt la khueh pah saeh. He kong dongah he bangla huul hamla aka noeng he pathen tloe a om moenih tila kai lamkah saithainah a paek,” a ti.
Therefore I make a decree, that in every people, nation, and language, he who shall speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and his house shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that is able to deliver after this sort.
30 Te dongah manghai loh Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego Te Babylon paeng ah a pom.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon.
