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.
Ummemezeli wasememeza ngamandla wathi: Liyalaywa, lina bantu, zizwe, lezindimi, ukuthi:
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.
Ngesikhathi elizwa ngaso ukukhala kophondo, umhlanga, ichacho, ichachwana, ugubhu lwezintambo, umfece, layo yonke imihlobo yokukhaliswayo, liwele phansi, likhonze isithombe segolide uNebhukadinezari inkosi asimisileyo.

Njalo loba ngubani ongawi phansi, akhonze, ngalesosikhathi uzaphoselwa phakathi kwesithando somlilo esivuthayo.
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.

8 Hichepet chun, Chaldea mi phabep lengpa heng’a acheuvin, Jews miho chu agahehseuvin ahi.
Ngakho ngalesosikhathi amaKhaladiya athile asondela, ahleba amaJuda.
9 Amahon, Nebuchadnezzar lengpa jah’a, Vo lengpa hingsot in!
Aphendula athi kuNebhukadinezari inkosi: Nkosi, phila kuze kube nininini!
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.
Wena nkosi, wenzile umlayo, ukuthi wonke umuntu ozakuzwa ukukhala kophondo, umhlanga, ichacho, ichachwana, ugubhu lwezintambo, lomfece, layo yonke imihlobo yokukhaliswayo, uzawela phansi akhonze isithombe segolide;

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.
Kukhona amaJuda athile owamise phezu komsebenzi wesabelo seBhabhiloni, oShadraki, uMeshaki, loAbedinego; la amadoda, nkosi, kawakunakanga; kawakhonzi onkulunkulu bakho, kawakhothameli isithombe segolide osimisileyo.
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.
Lapho uNebhukadinezari ekuthukutheleni lekuvutheni kolaka walaya ukuletha oShadraki, uMeshaki, loAbedinego. Khonokho lawomadoda alethwa phambi kwenkosi.
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?
UNebhukadinezari waphendula wathi kubo: Kungamabomu yini, Shadraki, Meshaki, loAbedinego, lingakhonzi onkulunkulu bami, lingakhothameli isithombe segolide engisimisileyo?
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.
Khathesi, uba selilungile ukuthi ngesikhathi lisizwa ukukhala kophondo, umhlanga, ichacho, ichachwana, ugubhu lwezintambo, lomfece, layo yonke imihlobo yokukhaliswayo, liwele phansi, likhonze isithombe engisenzileyo, kuhle; kodwa uba lingakhonzi, ngalesosikhathi lizaphoselwa phakathi kwesithando somlilo ovuthayo. Ngubani-ke lowoNkulunkulu ozalikhulula ezandleni zami?
16 Shadrach, Meshach chule Abednego chun lengpa adonbut’un,”Vo Nebuchadnezzar, keihon nangma angsung’a kihonna thu ka seiju angai khohpoi.
OShadraki, uMeshaki, loAbedinego baphendula bathi enkosini: Nebhukadinezari, kasidingi ukukuphendula kuloludaba.
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.
Uba kungenzeka, uNkulunkulu wethu esimkhonzayo ulakho ukusikhulula esithandweni somlilo ovuthayo; njalo uzasikhulula esandleni sakho, nkosi.
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.
Kodwa uba kungenjalo, kakwaziwe kuwe, nkosi, ukuthi kasiyikubakhonza onkulunkulu bakho, lokuthi kasiyikukhothamela isithombe segolide osimisileyo.
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.
Lapho uNebhukadinezari wagcwala ulaka, lesimo sobuso bakhe sabaguqukela oShadraki, uMeshaki loAbedinego; waphendula, walaya ukuthi batshise isithando kasikhombisa ngaphezu kwalokho okwejwayeleke ukutshiswa ngakho.
20 Chu in lengpan sepai thahat cheh phabep asolin, Shadrach, Meshach chuleh Abednego chu akan’uva meilhum sung’a aselut diuvin thupeh anei tai.
Waselaya amadoda alamandla ayesebuthweni lakhe ukuthi abophe oShadraki, uMeshaki, loAbedinego, ukuthi babaphosele esithandweni somlilo ovuthayo.
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.
Lawomadoda asebotshwa embethe izembatho zawo, amabhulugwe awo, lezingowane zawo, lezinye izigqoko zawo, aphoselwa phakathi kwesithando somlilo ovuthayo.
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.
Ngakho ngenxa yokuthi ilizwi lenkosi belibukhali, lesithando sitshisa kakhulu, ilangabi lomlilo labulala lawomadoda ayethwele oShadraki, uMeshaki, loAbedinego.
23 Hitichun, Shadrach, Meshach Chuleh Abednego chu, akikannau pumin meilhum deujeju sung’a chun alhalutjel tauve.
Lala amadoda amathathu, oShadraki, uMeshaki, loAbedinego, awela phansi ebotshiwe phakathi kwesithando somlilo esivuthayo.
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.
Lapho uNebhukadinezari inkosi wethuka, wasukuma ngokuphangisa, waphendula wathi kubeluleki bakhe: Kasiphoselanga amadoda amathathu ebotshiwe phakathi komlilo yini? Baphendula bathi enkosini: Liqiniso, nkosi.
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.
Yaphendula yathi: Khangelani, ngibona amadoda amane ekhululekile ehamba phakathi komlilo, njalo kakukho ukonakala kuwo; njalo isimo seyesine sifanana lendodana yabonkulunkulu.
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.
Lapho uNebhukadinezari wasondela emnyango wesithando somlilo esivuthayo, waphendula, wathi: Shadraki, Meshaki, loAbedinego, lina zinceku zikaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, phumani, lize. Lapho oShadraki, Meshaki, loAbedinego baphuma phakathi komlilo.
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.
Iziphathamandla, ababusi, lezinduna, labeluleki benkosi, sebebuthene, babona la amadoda, umlilo owawungazanga ube lamandla phezu kwemizimba yawo, okwakungahangulwanga lonwele lwekhanda lawo, lezambatho zawo ezazingaguqukanga, lokunuka komlilo okwakungedlulanga kiwo.
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.
UNebhukadinezari waphendula, wathi: Kadunyiswe uNkulunkulu kaShadraki, uMeshaki, loAbedinego, othume ingilosi yakhe, wakhulula izinceku zakhe ezimthembileyo, zaze zaguqula ilizwi lenkosi, zanikela imizimba yazo, ukuze zingakhonzi zingakhuleki lakuwuphi unkulunkulu ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wazo.
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.
Ngakho umlayo wenziwa yimi, ukuthi bonke abantu, isizwe, lolimi, olukhuluma okungafanelanga okumelene loNkulunkulu kaShadraki, uMeshaki, loAbedinego, uzaqunywa iziqa, lendlu yakhe yenziwe inqumbi yomquba; ngoba engekho omunye unkulunkulu olakho ukophula njengalokhu.
30 Chujouvin, lengpan jong Shadrach, Mesach chuleh Abednego chu Babylon gamkai sung’a vaipohna sangjo apehbetan ahi.
Lapho inkosi yabaphumelelisa oShadraki, uMeshaki, loAbedinego, esabelweni seBhabhiloni.
