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.
King Nabuchodonosor made a statue of gold, of sixty cubits high, and six cubits broad, and he set it up in the plain of Dura of the province of Babylon.
2 Nebukhadnezzar manghai loh muei a pai sak te 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.
Then Nabuchodonosor the king sent to call together the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, the rulers, and governors, and all the chief men of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the statue which king Nabuchodonosor 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 nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, and rulers, and the great men that were placed in authority, and all the princes of the provinces, were gathered together to come to the dedication of the statue, which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. And they stood before the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
4 Te vaengah olhoe loh thadueng neh a tae tih, “Nangmih pilnam namtu neh ol cungkuem boeih aw,
Then a herald cried with a strong voice: To you it is commanded, O nations, tribes, 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 in the hour that you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and of the flute, and of the harp, of the sackbut, and of the psaltery, and of the symphony, and of all kind of music; ye fall down and adore the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor hath set up.
6 Aka buluk tih aka bakop pawt te amah tue vaengah hmaihueng hmai tak khui la pup saeh.
But if any man shall not fall down and adore, he shall the same hour be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
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.
Upon this therefore, at the time when all the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music: all the nations, tribes, and languages fell down and adored the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
8 He kong dongah he amah tekah tue ah Khalden hlang cet uh tih amih Yahudi rhoek te tholh a pael uh.
And presently at that very time some Chaldeans came and accused the Jews,
9 Nebukhadnezzar manghai te a voek uh tih, “Manghai tah kumhal duela hing pai.
And said to king Nabuchodonosor: 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 bear the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music, shall prostrate himself, and adore the golden statue:
11 Buluk neh aka bakop pawt te tah hmaihueng hmai tak khui la pup saeh na ti.
And that if any man shall not fall down and adore, he should be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
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.
Now there are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the works of the province of Babylon, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago: these men, O king, have slighted thy decree: they worship not thy gods, nor do they adore the golden statue which 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 Nabuchodonosor in fury, and in wrath, commanded that Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago should be brought: who immediately were brought before the king.
14 Nebukhadnezzar loh a voek tih Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego rhoek te 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?
And Nabuchodonosor the king spoke to them, and said: Is it true, O Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the golden statue 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 vaengah te 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 therefore if you be ready at what hour soever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, flute, harp, sackbut, and psaltery, and symphony, and of all kind of music, prostrate yourselves, and adore the statue which I have made: but if you do not adore, you shall be cast the same hour into the furnace of burning fire: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand?
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.
Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago answered and said to king Nabuchodonosor: We have no occasion to answer thee concerning 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.
For behold our God, whom we worship, is able to save us from the furnace of burning fire, and to deliver us out of thy hands, 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 nauh.
But if he will not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not worship thy gods, nor adore the golden statue which 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 Nabuchodonosor filled with fury: and the countenance of his face was changed against Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it had been accustomed 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 strongest men that were in his army, to bind the feet of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire.
21 Te phoeiah tekah hlang rhoek te a himbai neh, a hainak neh, a lukhuem, a pueinak neh a pin uh tih hmaihueng hmai tak khui la a pup uh.
And immediately these men were bound and were cast into the furnace of burning fire, with their coats, and their caps, and their shoes, and their garments.
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.
For the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace was heated exceedingly. And the flame of the fire slew those men that had cast in Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago.
23 Amih rhoek hlang pathum, Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego tah a pin doela hmaihueng hmai tak khui la tla uh.
But these three men, that is, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell down bound in the midst of the furnace of burning fire.
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 nauh.
Then Nabuchodonosor the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and said to his nobles: Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered the king, and said: 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: Behold I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there is no hurt in them, and the form of the fourth is like the 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 Nabuchodonosor came to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said: Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, ye servants of the most high God, go ye forth, and come. And immediately Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago went out 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 rhoek te 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 nobles, and the magistrates, and the judges, and the great men of the king being gathered together, considered these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, and that not a hair of their head had been singed, nor their garments altered, nor the smell of the fire had 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.
Then Nabuchodonosor breaking forth, said: Blessed be the God of them, to wit, of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that believed in him: and they changed the king’s word, and delivered up their bodies that they might not serve, nor adore 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.
By me therefore this decree is made, that every people, tribe, and tongue, which shall speak blasphemy against the God of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, shall be destroyed, and their houses laid waste: for there is no other God that can save in this manner.
30 Te dongah manghai loh Sadrakh, Meshach neh Abednego te Babylon paeng ah a pom.
Then the king promoted Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, in the province of Babylon.
