4 Eka jaote nokok matek niya, “Ma e gima ochiku mondo utim, yaye ogendini, gi pinje kod ji moa e dhoudi mopogore opogore.
Umlawuli womkhosi wasememezela kakhulu wathi, “Mahlabezulu, lani zizwe zonke kanye lani bantu bezindimi zonke, nanku elilaywa ukuthi likwenze:
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.
Lingavele lizwe ukukhala kophondo, lomfece, lomhlanga, lomhubhe, lechacho, lezindweba layo yonke imihlobo yokuhlabela ngokukhalisa iziginci libokuthi mbo phansi lisikhonze isithombe segolide esimiswe yinkosi uNebhukhadineza.
6 Ngʼato angʼata ma ok opodho piny auma mondo olam kidono to ibiro dir e mach makakni.”
Iloba ngubani ongayi kukhothama asikhonze uzahle aphoselwe esithandweni somlilo olavuzayo.”
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.
Yikho, bonela ukuzwa ukukhala kophondo, lomfece, lomhlanga, lomhubhe, lechacho lemihlobo yonke yeziginci, bonke abantu, lezizwe labantu bezindimi zonke bathi mbo phansi bakhonza isithombe segolide inkosi uNebhukhadineza eyayisimisile.
8 E ndalogo jorieko ma jo-Kaldea moko nosudo nyime kendo negikwedo jo-Yahudi.
Ngalesisikhathi ezinye izingcazi zezinkanyezi zeza zachothoza amaJuda.
9 Negiwachone ruoth Nebukadneza niya, “Yaye ruoth, dag nyaka chiengʼ!
Zathi enkosini uNebhukhadineza, “Bayethe nkosi, mana njalo!
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,
Ukhuphile isimemezelo, wena nkosi, wathi wonke okuzwayo ukukhala kophondo, lomfece, lomhlanga, lomhubhe, lechacho lezindweba kanye lazozonke iziginci ezikhaliswayo kathi mbo phansi akhonze isithombe segolide,
11 kendo ni ngʼato angʼata ma ok opodho piny auma mondo olam kidono to ibiro dir e mach makakni.
lokuthi loba ngubani ongathi mbo phansi akhonze uzaphoselwa esithandweni somlilo olavuzayo.
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.”
Kodwa bakhona abanye amaJuda obabeke ukuphatha ilizwe laseBhabhiloni, uShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko, abangakhathali lutho ngawe, wena nkosi. Kababakhonzi onkulunkulu bakho njalo kabasikhonzi isithombe lesi osimisileyo.”
13 Mirima mager nomako Nebukadneza mi nogolo chik mondo okel Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego e nyime. Omiyo nokel jogi e nyim ruoth,
Wazonda wadla inja uNebhukhadineza, wasebiza oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko. Yikho amadoda la alethwa phambi kwenkosi,
14 kendo Nebukadneza nowachonegi niya, “Bende en adier, Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego, ni ok uti ne nyisechena kendo ok ulam kido mar dhahabu masechungo?
uNebhukhadineza wathi kubo, “Kuliqiniso yini, Shadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko, ukuthi kalibakhonzi onkulunkulu bami njalo kalisikhonzi isithombe segolide engisimisileyo?
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?”
Manje nxa lingezwa ukukhala kophondo, lomfece, lomhlanga, lomhubhe, lechacho, lezindweba layo yonke imihlobo yezikhaliswayo, nxa selizimisele ukuthi mbo phansi lisikhonze isifanekiso engasenzayo, kulungile. Kodwa nxa lingasikhonzi lizaphoselwa ngokuphangisa esithandweni somlilo ovuthayo. Pho nguphi unkulunkulu ozalilamulela esandleni sami na?”
16 Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego nodwoko ruoth niya, “Yaye Nebukadneza, onge tiende mondo wapwore e nyimi kuom wachni.
OShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko bayiphendula inkosi bathi, “Nkosi Nebhukhadineza, kasidingi kuzilwela phambi kwakho ngale indaba.
17 Ka dipo odirwa ei mach makakni, to Nyasaye mwatiyone nigi teko mar resowa, kendo obiro resowa kogolowa e lweti, yaye ruoth.
Singaphoselwa esithandweni somlilo olavuzayo, uNkulunkulu esimkhonzayo ulamandla okusisindisa kuwo, njalo uzasilamulela esandleni sakho, wena nkosi.
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.”
Loba engasisindisi, sithanda ukuba ukwazi, wena nkosi, ukuthi sivele kasisoze sibakhonze onkulunkulu bakho kumbe sisidumise isifanekiso segolide leso osimisileyo.”
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,
Lapho-ke uNebhukhadineza waphuphuma ngolaka kuShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko, wahle waguqula indlela aye esebaphatha ngayo. Walaya ukuthi isithando somlilo sibaselwe sitshise okuphindwe kasikhombisa kulenjayelo
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.
waphinda walaya ukuthi abanye bamabutho angobambapheqe bempi yakhe bababophe oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko babaphosele esithandweni somlilo olavuzayo.
21 Omiyo jogi notwe, ka girwako kandho mag-gi, sirwechegi, kilemba mag-gi kod lewni mamoko, mi nodirgi ei mach makakni.
Yikho amadoda la abotshwa elokhu egqoke amajazi awo, lamabhulugwe, amaqhiye kanye lezinye izigqoko zawo, aphoselwa esithandweni somlilo ovuthayo.
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,
Umlayo wenkosi wawuthukuthele kakhulu lesithando somlilo sitshisa okokuthi amalangabi omlilo awabulala amanxusa ayefuqela oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko,
23 kendo ji adekgo notwe motegno kanyakla modirgi ei mach makakni.
kwathi amadoda la womathathu ayebotshwe nko awela phakathi kwesithando somlilo olavuzayo.
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.”
Khonapho inkosi uNebhukhadineza wathi lothu ngokumangala, wabuza abacebisi bakhe wathi, “Kanti angithi abemathathu amadoda esiwabophileyo sawaphosela emlilweni na?” Baphendula bathi, “Liqiniso lelo, Oh nkosi.”
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.”
Wathi, “Khangelani! Ngibona amadoda amane ehambahamba phakathi komlilo, engabotshwanga njalo engalinyazwanga lutho, njalo owesine lowo ukhangeleka njengendodana yabonkulunkulu.”
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,
UNebhukhadineza wasesondela emlonyeni wesithando somlilo olavuzayo wamemeza wathi, “Shadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko, zinceku zikaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, phumani! Wozani lapha!” Ngakho oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko baphuma emlilweni,
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.
kwathi ababusi bezigaba, labalisa, lababusi bemikhono yelizwe labeluleki besikhosini bababunganyela. Babona ukuthi umlilo wawungabalimazanga imizimba yabo, njalo kungahaqazekanga lalunye unwele lwamakhanda abo; izembatho zabo zingahangulekanga, njalo kunganuki mlilo kubo.
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.
UNebhukhadineza wasesithi, “Kadunyiswe uNkulunkulu kaShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko, othume ingilosi yakhe wasindisa izinceku zakhe! Bathemba kuye badelela umlayo wenkosi njalo bazimisela ukunikela impilo zabo kulokuthi bakhonze loba badumise omunye uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kowabo uNkulunkulu.
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.”
Ngakho sengimisa isimemezelo ukuthi abantu loba ngabasiphi isizwe kumbe ulimi abakhuluma okubi ngoNkulunkulu kaShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko kabaqunywaqunywe izicucu, lezindlu zabo zenziwe izinqwaba zezibi, ngoba kakho omunye uNkulunkulu ongasindisa ngale indlela.”
30 Eka ruoth nochoro Shadrak, Meshak kod Abednego e telo mamalo e piny Babulon.
Inkosi yase ibanika izikhundla eziphezulu oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko elizweni laseBhabhiloni.
