< Daniel 3 >
1 Ruoth Nebukadneza noloso kido moro mar dhahabu ma borne noromo fut piero aboro gaboro gi nus, to lachne ne en fut apar, kendo nochunge e paw Dura e piny Babulon.
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 Eka ruoth nogolo chik mondo ochokne jorit pinje gi jochik jotich, gi jotelo, gi jongʼad rieko, gi jokeno, gi jongʼad bura, gi joyal buche kod jotelo duto mag gwenge, mondo gibi e nyasi mar pwodho kido mane osechungono.
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 Kuom mano jorit pinje, jochik jotich, ruodhi, jongʼad rieko, jokeno, jongʼad bura, joyal buche kod jotelo mamoko duto mag gwenge nochokore kaachiel mondo gigwedh kido ma ruoth Nebukadneza nosechungo, kendo negichungʼ e nyime.
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 Eka jaote nokok matek niya, “Ma e gima ochiku mondo utim, yaye ogendini, gi pinje kod ji moa e dhoudi mopogore opogore.
And a crier is calling mightily: “They are saying to you: O peoples, nations, and languages!
5 Ka uwinjo ywak mar tungʼ, asili, nyagweru, nyatiti, orutu kod kit thumbe mayoreyore, to nyaka upodhi piny auma kendo ulam kido mar dhahabu ma ruoth Nebukadneza osechungoni.
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 Ngʼato angʼata ma ok opodho piny auma mondo olam kidono to ibiro dir e mach makakni.”
and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
7 Kuom mano e sa mane giwinjoe ywak mar tungʼ, asili, nyagweru, nyatiti, orutu kod kit thumbe mayoreyore, ogendini duto, pinje kod ji duto moa e dhoudi mopogore opogore ne olamo kido mar dhahabu ma ruoth Nebukadneza nochungo.
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 E ndalogo jorieko ma jo-Kaldea moko nosudo nyime kendo negikwedo jo-Yahudi.
Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans have drawn near, and accused the Jews;
9 Negiwachone ruoth Nebukadneza niya, “Yaye ruoth, dag nyaka chiengʼ!
they have answered, indeed, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for all ages!
10 Isegolo chik, yaye ruoth, ni ngʼato ka ngʼato mowinjo ywak mar tungʼ, asili, nyagweru, nyatiti, orutu kod kit thumbe mayoreyore to nyaka podhi piny auma kendo lam kido mar dhahabu,
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 kendo ni ngʼato angʼata ma ok opodho piny auma mondo olam kidono to ibiro dir e mach makakni.
and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 To nitie jo-Yahudi moko ma iseketo jorit e migepe mopogore opogore e piny Babulon ma gin Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego, motamore timo gima iwacho, yaye ruoth. Gin ok giti ne nyisechegi, to bende ok gilam kido mar dhahabu misechungo.”
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 Mirima mager nomako Nebukadneza mi nogolo chik mondo okel Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego e nyime. Omiyo nokel jogi e nyim ruoth,
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 kendo Nebukadneza nowachonegi niya, “Bende en adier, Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego, ni ok uti ne nyisechena kendo ok ulam kido mar dhahabu masechungo?
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 Ka uwinjo ywak mar tungʼ, asili, nyagweru, nyatiti, orutu kod kit thumbe mayoreyore, mi upodho piny auma kendo ulamo kido maseloso, to mano ber. To ka ok upodho piny auma mi ulame, to ibiro diru e mach makakni. Koso uparo ni nitie nyasaye moro manyalo resou e lweta?”
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 Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego nodwoko ruoth niya, “Yaye Nebukadneza, onge tiende mondo wapwore e nyimi kuom wachni.
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 Ka dipo odirwa ei mach makakni, to Nyasaye mwatiyone nigi teko mar resowa, kendo obiro resowa kogolowa e lweti, yaye ruoth.
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 To kata ka dipo ni ok otimo kamano, to wadwaro ni mondo ingʼe, yaye ruoth, ni ok wabi tiyone nyisecheni kata lamo kido mar dhahabu misechungo.”
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 Kuom mano, mirima mager nomako Nebukadneza gi Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego kendo chunye nokethore kodgi. Nogolo chik mondo ochwak mach maliet moloyo lietne mapile nyadibiriyo,
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 kendo nochiko moko kuom askechege maroteke mane ni e oganda mar jolweny mage mondo gitwe Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego kendo gidirgi ei mach makakni.
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 Omiyo jogi notwe, ka girwako kandho mag-gi, sirwechegi, kilemba mag-gi kod lewni mamoko, mi nodirgi ei mach makakni.
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 Ruoth nogolo chik mondo odir jogi e mach mapiyo, kendo liet mar mach kende ema ne onego jolweny mane otero Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego,
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 kendo ji adekgo notwe motegno kanyakla modirgi ei mach makakni.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace—bound.
24 Eka ruoth Nebukadneza nochungʼ malo ka dhoge omoko kendo nopenjo jongʼad rieko mage niya, “Donge ji adek ema ne watweyo mi wadiro e mach?” Negidwoke niya, “En kamano, yaye ruodh.”
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 To nodwoko niya, “Neuru! Aneno ji angʼwen kawuotho koni gi koni e mach, ka gin thuolo kendo onge gima ohinyogi, kendo ngʼat mar angʼwen chalo gi wuod nyiseche.”
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 Eka Nebukadneza nosudo machiegni gi mach makaknino kendo nokok matek niya, “Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego, ma jotich Nyasaye Mamalo Mogik, wuoguru oko! Biuru ka!” Omiyo Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego nowuok e mach kabiro ire,
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 kendo jorit pinje, jochik tich, jotelo, kod jongʼad rieko mag ruoth nosudo butgi machiegni molworogi. Negineno ka mach ne ok owangʼogi, onge yie wigi kata achiel mane mach oreyo, kandho mag-gi bende ne ok orewore, to bende ne ok gidungʼ kata mana iro.
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 Eka Nebukadneza nowacho niya, “Opak Nyasach Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego nikech en ema oseoro malaikane mi oreso jotichne! Negigeno kuome mi gidagi luwo chikna kendo ne giyie wito ngimagi kar tiyona kata lamo nyasaye moro machielo ma ok Nyasachgi giwegi.
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 Kuom mano, agolo chik ni ogendini duto gi ji moa e dhoudi mopogore opogore ma dipo ni owacho gimoro marach kuom Nyasach Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego mondo negi kendo utegi mondo omuki mi lokre pidhe, nikech onge nyasaye moro machielo manyalo reso ji e yo machal kama.”
“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 Eka ruoth nochoro Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego e telo mamalo e piny Babulon.
Then the king has caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
