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 made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain 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.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set 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 the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
4 Eka jaote nokok matek niya, “Ma e gima ochiku mondo utim, yaye ogendini, gi pinje kod ji moa e dhoudi mopogore opogore.
Then the herald cried aloud, “To you it is commanded, 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.
that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.
6 Ngʼato angʼata ma ok opodho piny auma mondo olam kidono to ibiro dir e mach makakni.”
Whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace the same hour.”
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 heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 E ndalogo jorieko ma jo-Kaldea moko nosudo nyime kendo negikwedo jo-Yahudi.
Therefore at that time certain Kasdim came near and brought accusation against the Jews.
9 Negiwachone ruoth Nebukadneza niya, “Yaye ruoth, dag nyaka chiengʼ!
They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for ever!
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 sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music shall fall down and worship the golden image;
11 kendo ni ngʼato angʼata ma ok opodho piny auma mondo olam kidono to ibiro dir e mach makakni.
and whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle 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 affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not respected you. They don’t serve your gods, and don’t worship the golden image which you have set up.”
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 rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men were brought 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 answered them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you don’t serve my gods and you don’t worship the golden image which I have set up?
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 if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you don’t worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. Who is that god who will deliver 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 Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
17 Ka dipo odirwa ei mach makakni, to Nyasaye mwatiyone nigi teko mar resowa, kendo obiro resowa kogolowa e lweti, yaye ruoth.
If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
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.”
But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set 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 was full of fury, and the form of his appearance was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually 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.
He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them 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 were bound in their pants, their tunics, and their mantles, and their other clothes, and were cast into the middle 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 the king’s commandment was urgent and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 kendo ji adekgo notwe motegno kanyakla modirgi ei mach makakni.
These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
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 was astonished and rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counsellors, “Didn’t we cast three men bound into the middle of the fire?” They answered the king, “True, 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, “Look, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are unharmed. The appearance of the fourth is like 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 came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the middle 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.
The local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies. The hair of their head wasn’t singed. Their pants weren’t changed. The smell of fire wasn’t even 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 spoke and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god except 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.”
Therefore I make a decree that every people, nation, and language which speak anything evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill, because there is no other god who is able to deliver like this.”
30 Eka ruoth nochoro Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego e telo mamalo e piny Babulon.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
