Daniel 3
1 Vai touh teh, Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang ni a rasang dong 60, akaw e dong taruk touh e sui meikaphawk a sak teh, Babilon ram Dura yawn dawk a pâhung.
King Nebuchadnezzar made a statue of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and he set it up in the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
2 Siangpahrang ni a pâhung e meikaphawk hnawngnae pawi koe kâ katawnkungnaw, khobawinaw, pouknae kapoekungnaw, hnopai kakuenkungnaw, lawkcengkungnaw, hoi alouke khobawinaw pueng teh, kamkhueng sak hanelah kâ a poe.
Then king Nebuchadnezzar sent to gather together the governors, magistrates and judges, generals and sovereigns and commanders, and all the leaders of the regions, to come together for the dedication of the statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar had raised.
3 Hatdawkvah kâ katawnkungnaw, khobawinaw, pouknae kapoekungnaw, hnopai kakuenkungnaw, lawkcengkungnaw hoi alouke khobawinaw pueng teh, a tho awh teh meikaphawk hmalah a kangdue awh.
Then the governors, magistrates and judges, generals and sovereigns and nobles, who were appointed to power, and all the leaders of the regions were brought together so as to convene for the dedication of the statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar had raised. And so they stood before the statue that king Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
4 Hatnavah miphun phunkuep hoi lawk phunkuep e taminaw,
And a herald proclaimed loudly, “To you it is said, to you peoples, tribes, and languages,
5 Mongka, vovit, ratoung, cecak, tamawi, ratoung kalen hoi lawk ka tâcawt e pueng tumkhawng lawk na thai awh toteh, Nebukhadnezar ni a pâhung e sui meikaphawk hah tabo laihoi na bawk awh han.
that in the hour when you will hear the sound of the trumpet and the pipe and the lute, the harp and the psaltery, and of the symphony and every kind of music, you must fall down and adore the gold statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
6 Apipatethai tabo laihoi ka bawk ngai hoeh e teh, sut kamtawi e tahmanghmai dawk phum lah awmseh, telah kacaipounglah a oung awh.
But if anyone will not bow down and adore, in the same hour he will be cast into a furnace of burning fire.”
7 Hatdawkvah, mongka vovit, cecak, ratoung, tamawi, ratoung kalen e hoi lawk ka tâcawt e pueng tumkhawng lawk tami pueng ni a thai awh toteh, miphun phunkuep hoi lawk phunkuep e taminaw pueng ni a tabo awh teh, Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang ni a pâhung e sui meikaphawk teh a bawk awh.
After this, therefore, as soon as all the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the pipe and the lute, the harp and the psaltery, and of the symphony and every kind of music, all the peoples, tribes, and languages fell down and adored the gold statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
8 Hatnavah Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang koe Babilonnaw a tho awh teh,
And soon, about the same time, some influential Chaldeans came and accused the Jews,
9 Siangpahrang na hring dung vang seh,
and they said to king Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, live forever.
10 mongka vovit, cecak, ratoung, tamawi, ratoung kalen e hoi lawk ka tâcawt e pueng tumkhawng lawk ka thai e pueng ni, sui meikaphawk hah tabo laihoi a bawk awh han.
You, O king, have established a decree, so that every man who might hear the sound of the trumpet, the pipe and the lute, the harp and the psaltery, and of the symphony and every kind of music, will prostrate himself and adore the gold statue.
11 Ka tabawk hoeh e, ka bawk hoeh e teh kamtawi lahun e tahmanghmai dawk phum lah ao han telah na pathang toe.
But if any man will not fall down and adore, he would be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
12 Siangpahrang nangmouh ni, Babilon ram thung kahrawikung thaw na poe e Shadrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego tinaw ni na pathang e lawk hah banglahai ngâi awh hoeh. Nange cathutnaw hai bawk awh hoeh. Na pâhung e sui meikaphawk hai bawk awh hoeh, telah Judahnaw yonpennae a dei pouh awh.
Yet there are influential Jews, whom you have appointed over the works of the region of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have scorned your decree. They do not worship your gods, and they do not adore the gold statue which you have raised up.”
13 Hat toteh, Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang teh puenghoi a lungkhuek dawkvah, Shakdrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego tinaw kaw awh atipouh e patetlah siangpahrang hmalah a tâcokhai awh.
Then Nebuchadnezzar, in fury and in wrath, commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego should be brought, and so, without delay, they were brought before the king.
14 Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang ni, hei Shakdrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego, kaie cathutnaw hah na bawk awh hoeh maw. Ka pâhung e sui meikaphawk hah na bawk awh hoeh maw.
And king Nebuchadnezzar addressed them and said, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the gold statue, which I have set up?
15 Atuvah mongka vovit, cecak, ratoung, tamawi, ratoung kalen e hoi lawk ka tâcawt e pueng tumkhawng lawk na thai awh toteh, ka pâhung e sui meikaphawk hah bawk hanlah coungkacoe lah awm awh. Hoehpawiteh, kamtawi lahun e tahmang hmai dawk tang na phum awh han. Ka kut dawk hoi na kahlout sak hane cathut teh bangpatet e cathut mouh kaawm atipouh.
Therefore, if you are prepared now, whenever you hear the sound of the trumpet, pipe, lute, harp and psaltery, and of the symphony and every kind of music, prostrate yourselves and adore the statue which I have made. But if you will not adore, in the same hour you will be cast into the furnace of burning fire. And who is the God that will rescue you from my hand?”
16 Shadrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego tinaw nihai, oe! siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar, hete kong dawk kaimouh ni bout dei hane banghai awmhoeh.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to king Nebuchadnezzar, “It is not right for us to obey you in this matter.
17 Kaimouh ni ka bawk awh e Cathut ni ka kamtawi lahun e tahmang hmai dawk hoi na hlout sak thai. Nange kut dawk hoi hai na hlout sak thai han.
For behold our God, whom we worship, is able to rescue us from the oven of burning fire and to free us from your hands, O king.
18 Hottelah na kahlout sak hoeh nakunghai, nange cathutnaw teh ka bawk awh mahoeh. Na pâhung e sui meikaphawk hai ka bawk awh mahoeh, bout atipouh.
But even if he will not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not worship your gods, nor adore the gold statue, which you have raised up.”
19 Hat toteh, Nebukhadnezar teh a lung hoe a khuek teh Shadrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego tinaw a khet navah a minhmai a mathoe dawkvah tahmang hmai hah ahmaloe e hlak let sari touh kamtawi sak hane hoi
Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with fury and the appearance of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated to seven times its usual fire.
20 a thakasai e ransanaw koe Shadrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego hah katek vaiteh kamtawi lahun e tahmang hmai dawk phum hanelah kâ a poe.
And he ordered the strongest men of his army to bind the feet of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire.
21 Hattoteh ahnimouh kathum touh hah, khohna khuehoi, hnicu khuehoi, luhuem khuehoi a katek awh teh kamtawi lahun e tahmang hmai dawk a phum awh navah,
And immediately these men were bound, and along with their coats, and their hats, and their shoes, and their garments, were cast into the middle of the furnace of burning fire.
22 siangpahrang e kâpoe e teh ekvoi a rang teh, patawi e tahmang hmai koe ekvoi a bet dawkvah, Shadrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego tinaw hmai kaphumkungnaw law teh a bet lawi a due awh.
But the king’s order was so urgent that the furnace was heated excessively. As a result, those men who had cast in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, were killed by the flame of the fire.
23 Ahnimouh kathum touh teh puenghoi kamtawi e tahmang hmai dawk ao awh.
But these three men, that is, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, having been bound, fell down in the middle of the oven of burning fire.
24 Hattoteh siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar teh kângairu laihoi hluet a thaw teh, tami kathum touh nahoehmaw katek laihoi hmai phum awh vaw telah kâpankhaikungnaw hah a pacei. Ahnimouh ni hai awiyaw atipouh awh.
Then king Nebuchadnezzar was astonished, and he quickly got up and said to his nobles: “Did we not cast three men shackled into the midst of the fire?” Answering the king, they said, “True, O king.”
25 Siangpahrang ni tami pali touh teh, katek laipalah hmai dawk a kâhlumkâhlai awh. Runae dawk hoi a hlout awh e hah ka hmu bo vaw. Apali e teh Cathut capa boiboe bo aw atipouh hnukkhu,
He answered and said, “Behold, I see four men unbound and walking in the midst of the fire, and no harm is in them, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of God.”
26 kamtawi lahun e tahmang hmai koe rek a cei teh, ka rasang poung e Cathut e sannaw, Shadrak, Meshak hoi Abednego tinaw tâcawt awh nateh, tho awh leih, atipouh navah ahnimouh teh hmai thung hoi a tâco awh.
Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the entrance of the furnace of burning fire, and he said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the supreme God, come out and approach.” And immediately Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego went out from the midst of the fire.
27 Kâ katawnkungnaw, pouknae kapoekungnaw, ransa bawinaw, hoi khobawinaw ni hmai ka kang thai hoeh e ahnimanaw hah a kalup awh teh a khet awh. Ahnimae samrui buet touh boehai kamrâw hoeh. Khohna hai kamlang hoeh. Hmai kak hmui hai tho hoeh.
And when the governors, and the magistrates, and the judges, and the powerful of the king had gathered together, they considered these men because the fire had no power against their bodies, and not a hair of their head had been scorched, and their pants had not been affected, and the smell of the fire had not passed onto them.
28 Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang ni Shadrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego tinaw e Cathut teh pholen lah awmseh. Ahnimae Cathut hloilah alouke cathut a bawk awh hoeh nahanlah Cathut kâuep laihoi siangpahrang e kâ a ek awh teh, a kâhmoun awh e naw koe Cathut ni kalvantami a patoun teh a rungngang toe.
Then Nebuchadnezzar, bursting out, said, “Blessed is their God, the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who sent his angel and rescued his servants who believed in him. And they altered the verdict of the king, and they delivered up their bodies, so that they would not serve or adore any god except their God.
29 Hatdawkvah lawk phunkuep kapan e tami phunkuep thung dawk e buetbuet touh ni Shadrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego tinaw ni a bawk e Cathut dumdamnae lawk dei pawiteh, tawntarawn tâtueng lah awmseh, ahnimae im haiyah vaipuen songnawng lah awmseh telah a pathang. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hettelah hluk e hloutnae hah hote Cathut hloilah bangpatet e cathut ni hai coung thai hoeh ati hnukkhu,
Therefore, this decree is established by me: that every people, tribe, and language, whenever they have spoken blasphemy against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, will perish and their homes will be destroyed. For there is no other God who is able to save in this way.”
30 Babilon ram dawk Shadrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego tinaw hah a thaw a luen sak pouh.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
