Daniel 3
1 Nebuchadnezzar lengpan, sana milim khat asemin, milim chu asandan tong somgup alhingin chuleh availam tong gup alhinge. Chuleh milim chu Dura phaicham, Babylon gamkai sunga chun atungdoh in ahi.
Nebuchadnezzar the king has made an image of gold, its height sixty cubits, its breadth six cubits; he has raised it up in the Valley of Dura, in the province of Babylon;
2 Chuin lengpan, thuneiho, vaihom ho, gamkai vaipo ho, leng thumop ho, neiching ho, thutan vaihom ho, thutan pipuho, chuleh gamkai pumpia vaipo ho heng’a, thusep mi asolin, milim atundoh kikatdoh na-a abon’uva hung pang cheh diuvin aga khopsah tai.
and Nebuchadnezzar the king has sent to gather the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the province, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up.
3 Hijeh chun, thuneiho, vaihom ho, gamkai vaipo ho, leng thumop ho, neiching ho, thutan vaihom ho, thutan pipuho, chuleh gamkai pumpia vaipo ho, abonchauvin ahung cheh’un, lengpan atundoh milim angsung’a chun adingsoh tauvin ahi.
Then are gathered the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the province, to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up: and they are standing before the image that Nebuchadnezzar has raised up.
4 Chuin lhangsam aw khat ahung kisam in, “Vo chitin’a mi jouse, namtin leh phungtin’a miho, chuleh pao tintang thoho jouse, nanghon lengpa thupeh ngaiyun.
And a crier is calling mightily: “They are saying to you: O peoples, nations, and languages!
5 Nanghon saki kimut gin, theile gin, semjang gin, khong leh dah gin, chuleh tumging dang dang ho gin najah teng’u leh, sana-a kisem lengpa milim tundoh hi, tol’a naboh khup’uva chibai naboh cheh dingu ahi.
At the time that you hear the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, the symphony, and all kinds of music, you fall down and pay respect to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up:
6 Koi hijong leh, hiche chibai bohding thupeh juilou jouse, apettah’a meilhum sung’a kiseplut ding ahi,’’ ati.
and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
7 Hichun, tumging ho ahung gin phat chun, mijouse chu, koi jat koi nam hihen chuleh ipi pao tho hijongleh, abonchauvin sana-a kisem milim, Nebuchadnazzar lengpan atundoh chu, tol’a bohkhup in chibai abohsoh kei tauve.
Therefore at that time, when all the peoples are hearing the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and all kinds of music, falling down are all the peoples, nations and languages, worshiping the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up.
8 Hichepet chun, Chaldea mi phabep lengpa heng’a acheuvin, Jews miho chu agahehseuvin ahi.
Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans have drawn near, and accused the Jews;
9 Amahon, Nebuchadnezzar lengpa jah’a, Vo lengpa hingsot in!
they have answered, indeed, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for all ages!
10 Nangman mijouse chung’a thupeh gahtah nabolin, koi hijong leh saki kimut gin, theile gin, semjang gin, khong leh dah gin, chuleh tumging thei dang dang ho gin, ajah tenguleh, natundoh sana milim chu bohkhup’a chibai aboh cheh ding nati.
You, O king, have made a decree that every man who hears the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, falls down and pays respect to the golden image;
11 Chuleh hiche thupeh chun, koi hijongleh, hiche thupeh juilou jouse chu thonlouva meilhum sung’a selut ding ati.
and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Ahivangin, Jews mi phabep Shadrach, Meshachchuleh Abednego, nangman Babylon gamkai ho mopo’a napansah ho chun, Vo lengpa nang thupeh chu ngaisah in aneipouve. Amahon milim natundoh chu bokhup’a chibai boh ding ada uvin, chuleh nangma pathen houna kinbol ding anom pouve,” atiuvin ahi.
There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the work of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, these men have not made of you, O king, [any] regard; your gods they are not serving, and to the golden image you have raised up—are not making worship.”
13 Chuin Nebuchadnezzar jong alung hang behseh jengin, Shadrach, Meshach chuleh Abednego chu, a-ang sung’a ahin kailut diuvin thupeh aneitai. Chuin amaho chu lengpa angsung’a chun ahin kailut tauve.
Then Nebuchadnezzar, in anger and fury, has said to bring in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Then these men have been brought in before the king.
14 Hichun Nebuchadnezzar lengpan ajah’uva,” Shadrach, Meshach chule Abednego, nanghon kei pathen ho houna-kin bol ding adauvin chuleh katundoh sana-milim jong chibai abohpouve, kitihi adih ham?
Nebuchadnezzar has answered and said to them, “Is [it] a laid plan, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego—my gods you are not serving, and to the golden image that I have raised up you are not worshiping?
15 Keiman nangho avel’a khatvei kateppeh nahiuvve, saki kimut gin, theile gin, semjang gin, khong leh dah gin, chuleh tumgingthei dang dang ho gin, najah phat’u leh katundoh milim hi bohkhop’a chibai naboh cheh diu ahi. Amavang hichea jong nada teitei uleh, apettah’a meilhum deujeju sung’a nakiseplut ding’u ahitai. Chutah leh, kei khut’a kon’a itobang pathenin nahuh doh diuham?” atitai.
Now behold, you are ready, so that at the time that you hear the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, you fall down and pay respect to the image that I have made! But if you do not worship—in that hour you are cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; who is that God who delivers you out of my hands?”
16 Shadrach, Meshach chule Abednego chun lengpa adonbut’un,”Vo Nebuchadnezzar, keihon nangma angsung’a kihonna thu ka seiju angai khohpoi.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego have answered, indeed, they are saying to King Nebuchadnezzar, “We have no need concerning this matter to answer you.
17 Meilhum deujeju sung’a nei seplut’ujongleh chun, keihon kahouvu akin-na katoh peh’u, ka Pathen’u chun eihuhdohdiu ahi. Vo! lengpa, nangma khut a kon chun hiche ka Pathenu chun eihuhdoh nauvinte.
Behold, it is; our God whom we are serving, is able to deliver us from a burning fiery furnace; and from your hand, O king, He delivers.
18 Amavang hichea hin eihuhdoh hih beh’ujongleh, kicheh tahin neihetpeh’un, keihon itihchan hijong leh na-pathen ho chu kahou louheldiu chuleh natundoh sana-milim jong chibai kaboh louheldiu ahi,” atiuve.
And behold—not! Be it known to you, O king, that we are not serving your gods, and we do not worship the golden image you have raised up.”
19 Nebuchadnezzar chu, Shadrach, Meshach chuleh Abednego chung’a alunghang vang jeng tan, amaiso melse leuvin alunghang doh tai. Hijeh chun, aman jong meilhum koujeju chu asat-ngaina sang’a sagiveijen asatbe sahdiuvin thu apetai.
Then Nebuchadnezzar has been full of fury, and the expression of his face has 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 Chu in lengpan sepai thahat cheh phabep asolin, Shadrach, Meshach chuleh Abednego chu akan’uva meilhum sung’a aselut diuvin thupeh anei tai.
and to certain mighty men who [are] in his force he has said to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to cast into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Hijeh chun, sepai hon amaho chu akivonnau jouse, ponsil chol, sangkhol, lukop, chu leh adang jouse pumin akan’un, meilhum deujeju sung’a chun ase lut tauve.
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 Lengpa alunghang val jeh’a, meilhum halbe ding’a thupeh anei tahjeh chun, meilhum chu asaval behseh jeng tan, Shadrach, Meshach chuleh Abednego gaseplut’a pang sepaiho chu meikong chun ahallih gam tauvin ahi.
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—the spark of the fire has killed them.
23 Hitichun, Shadrach, Meshach Chuleh Abednego chu, akikannau pumin meilhum deujeju sung’a chun alhalutjel tauve.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace—bound.
24 Chupettah chun phulou helouvin, Nebuchadnezzar chu tija henhunin ahung ding doh jengin, ama thumop’a pangho jah’a chun,” Mithum ho chu kikan’a meilhum sung’a kiseplut hilou ham?” ati. Amahon adonbut un, “Vo lengpa, kikan ahinai” atiuve.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king has been astonished, and has risen in haste; he has answered and said to his counselors, “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 Hichun Nebuchadnezzar a-eojah in,” Ahileh meilhum sung’a mili tah kilhamsa-a kijot lele, meikong in jong akahlou kamu khu veta’u, Chuleh alina mipa khu Pathen toh abang’e” ati.
He answered and has said, “Behold, 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 Chuphat in Nebuchadnezzar jong meilhum kongjeju kihalna kot phung ahin naijin, Vo Shadrach, Mesach chuleh Abednego, hungpot doh jeng’un, hikom’a hung loijun, tin aga kou tai. Hichun Shadrach, Mesach chuleh Abednego meilhum sung’a kon’in ahung pot doh tauve.
Then Nebuchadnezzar has drawn near to the gate of the burning fiery furnace; he has answered and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of God Most High come forth, indeed, come”; then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego come forth, from the midst of the fire;
27 Chu in gamsung vaipolen ho, vaihom ho, gamkai vaipo’a pang ho, chuleh lengpa thumop’a pangho abon’un ahungkhom soh keijun, amaho thumchu aum kimvelun, hiche mithum ho chu meikong chun ima alotheipoi ti amu sohtauve. Alujanguva sam jang khat jong akapon, chuleh aponsil’u jong akapoi. Atahsa chung uva meikhugim cha jong anam pouve.
and gathered together, the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the counselors of the king, are seeing these men, that the fire has no power over their bodies, and the hair of their head has not been singed, and their coats have not changed, and the smell of fire has not passed on them.
28 Hichun Nebuchadnezzar chun aseitai, “Shadrach, Mesach chuleh Abednego Pathen chu thangvahin umhen. Aman vantil ahinsolin, kitah tah’a alhacha-a pangho ahuhdoh sahtai. Amahon a Pathen’u tilou, Pathen dangho houna leh alhacha-a pan sangin, thidingin atahsa’u apedoh’un, lengpa thupeh jong adonse tapouvin ahi.
Nebuchadnezzar has answered and has said, “Blessed [is] the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who has sent His messenger, and has 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 pay respect to any god except to their own God.
29 Hijeh chun, keiman hiche thupeh hi gahtah’a kabol ahi. Ami jouse, koimi koinam hihen, ipi pao tho hijong leh, Shadrach, Mesach chuleh Abednego Pathen douna kamcheng khat seidoh chu, atahsa kibottel ding chuleh a-in’u jong kiphelha-a, in-gem’a kikoi ding ahi. Ajeh chu hitobang’a mi huhdoh ding Pathen dang aumpoi,’’ ati.
“And by me a decree is made, that any people, nation, and language, that speaks erroneously concerning the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, he is made pieces, and its house is made a dunghill, because that there is no other god who is able thus to deliver.”
30 Chujouvin, lengpan jong Shadrach, Mesach chuleh Abednego chu Babylon gamkai sung’a vaipohna sangjo apehbetan ahi.
Then the king has caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
