< 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.
Nebuchad-nezzar the King made an image of gold, whose height was three score cubits, and the breadth thereof sixe cubites: hee set it vp in the plaine of Dura, in the prouince of Babel.
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 Nebuchad-nezzar ye King sent foorth to gather together the nobles, the princes and the dukes, the iudges, the receiuers, the counsellers, the officers, and all the gouernours of the prouinces, that they should come to the dedication of the image, which Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp.
3 Hatdawkvah kâ katawnkungnaw, khobawinaw, pouknae kapoekungnaw, hnopai kakuenkungnaw, lawkcengkungnaw hoi alouke khobawinaw pueng teh, a tho awh teh meikaphawk hmalah a kangdue awh.
So the nobles, princes and dukes, the iudges, the receiuers, the counsellers, the officers, and all the gouernours of the prouinces were assembled vnto the dedicating of the image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp: and they stood before the image, which Nebuchad-nezzar had set vp.
4 Hatnavah miphun phunkuep hoi lawk phunkuep e taminaw,
Then an herald cried aloude, Be it knowen to you, O people, nations, 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 when ye heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, ye fall downe and worship the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King hath set vp,
6 Apipatethai tabo laihoi ka bawk ngai hoeh e teh, sut kamtawi e tahmanghmai dawk phum lah awmseh, telah kacaipounglah a oung awh.
And whosoeuer falleth not downe and worshippeth, shall the same houre bee cast into the middes of an hote fierie fornace.
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.
Therefore assoone as all the people heard the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and all instruments of musike, all the people, nations, and languages fell downe, and worshipped the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp.
8 Hatnavah Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang koe Babilonnaw a tho awh teh,
By reason whereof at that same time came men of the Caldeans, and grieuously accused the Iewes.
9 Siangpahrang na hring dung vang seh,
For they spake and said to the King Nebuchad-nezzar, O King, liue for euer.
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.
Thou, O King, hast made a decree, that euery man that shall heare the sounde of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, shall fall downe and worship the golden image,
11 Ka tabawk hoeh e, ka bawk hoeh e teh kamtawi lahun e tahmanghmai dawk phum lah ao han telah na pathang toe.
And whosoeuer falleth not downe, and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the mids of an hote fierie fornace.
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.
There are certeine Iewes whome thou hast set ouer the charge of ye prouince of Babel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: these men, O King, haue not regarded thy commandement, neither wil they serue thy gods, nor worship the golden image, that thou hast set vp.
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 Nebuchad-nezzar in his anger and wrath commanded that they should bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: so these men 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 Nebuchad-nezzar spake, and said vnto them, What disorder? will not you, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego serue my god, nor worship the golden image, that I haue set vp?
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.
Now therefore are ye ready when ye heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, to fall downe, and worship the image, which I haue made? for if ye worship it not, ye shall be cast immediatly into the middes of an hote fierie fornace: for who is that God, that can deliuer you out of mine handes?
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 the King, O Nebuchad-nezzar, we are not carefull to answere thee 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.
Beholde, our God whom we serue, is able to deliuer vs from the hote fierie fornace, and hee will deliuer vs out of thine hand, 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 if not, bee it knowen to thee, O King, that wee will not serue thy gods, nor worship the golden image, which thou hast set vp.
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 was Nebuchad-nezzar full of rage, and the forme of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore hee charged and commanded that they should heate the fornace at once seuen times more then it was wont to be heat.
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 hee charged the most valiant men of warre that were in his armie, to binde Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the hote fierie fornace.
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,
So these men were bounde in their coates, their hosen, and their clokes, with their other garments, and cast into the middes of the hote fierie fornace.
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.
Therefore, because the Kings commandement was straite, that the fornace should be exceeding hote, the flame of the fire slew those men that brought foorth Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
23 Ahnimouh kathum touh teh puenghoi kamtawi e tahmang hmai dawk ao awh.
And these three men Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego fell downe bound into the middes of the hote fierie fornace.
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 Nebuchad-nezzar the King was astonied and rose vp in haste, and spake, and saide vnto his counsellers, Did not wee cast three men bound into the middes of the fire? Who answered and said vnto the King, It is 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,
And he answered, and said, Loe, I see foure men loose, walking in the middes of the fire, and they haue no hurt, and the forme of the fourth is like the sonne 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 the King Nebuchad-nezzar came neere to the mouth of the hote fierie fornace, and spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the seruants of the hie God goe foorth and come hither: so Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came foorth of the middes 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.
Then the nobles, princes and dukes, and the Kings counsellers came together to see these men, because the fire had no power ouer their bodies: for not an heare of their head was burnt, neither was their coates changed, nor any smelll of fire came vpon 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.
Wherefore Nebuchad-nezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who hath sent his Angel, and deliuered his seruants, that put their trust in him, and haue changed the Kings commandement, and yeelded their bodies rather then they would serue or worship any god, saue their owne 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 I make a decree, that euery people, nation, and language, which speake any blasphemie against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, shalbe drawen in pieces, and their houses shall be made a iakes, because there is no god that can deliuer after this sort.
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 prouince of Babel.
