< Daniel 3 >
1 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.
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.
2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
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.
3 Then the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, 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.
Hatdawkvah kâ katawnkungnaw, khobawinaw, pouknae kapoekungnaw, hnopai kakuenkungnaw, lawkcengkungnaw hoi alouke khobawinaw pueng teh, a tho awh teh meikaphawk hmalah a kangdue awh.
4 Then the herald cried aloud, “To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,
Hatnavah miphun phunkuep hoi lawk phunkuep e taminaw,
5 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.
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.
6 Whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace the same hour.”
Apipatethai tabo laihoi ka bawk ngai hoeh e teh, sut kamtawi e tahmanghmai dawk phum lah awmseh, telah kacaipounglah a oung awh.
7 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 worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
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.
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near and brought accusation against the Jews.
Hatnavah Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang koe Babilonnaw a tho awh teh,
9 They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for ever!
Siangpahrang na hring dung vang seh,
10 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;
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.
11 and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.
Ka tabawk hoeh e, ka bawk hoeh e teh kamtawi lahun e tahmanghmai dawk phum lah ao han telah na pathang toe.
12 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 do not serve your gods, and do not worship the golden image which you have set up.”
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.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men were brought before the king.
Hat toteh, Nebukhadnezar siangpahrang teh puenghoi a lungkhuek dawkvah, Shakdrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego tinaw kaw awh atipouh e patetlah siangpahrang hmalah a tâcokhai awh.
14 Nebuchadnezzar answered them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods and you do not worship the golden image which I have set up?
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.
15 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 do not 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?”
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.
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
Shadrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego tinaw nihai, oe! siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar, hete kong dawk kaimouh ni bout dei hane banghai awmhoeh.
17 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.
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.
18 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.”
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.
19 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.
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
20 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.
a thakasai e ransanaw koe Shadrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego hah katek vaiteh kamtawi lahun e tahmang hmai dawk phum hanelah kâ a poe.
21 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.
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,
22 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.
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.
23 These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
Ahnimouh kathum touh teh puenghoi kamtawi e tahmang hmai dawk ao awh.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished and rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counselors, “Did not we cast three men bound into the middle of the fire?” They answered the king, “True, O king.”
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.
25 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.”
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,
26 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.
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.
27 The local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counselors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies. The hair of their head was not singed. Their pants were not changed. The smell of fire was not even on them.
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.
28 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.
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.
29 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.”
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,
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
Babilon ram dawk Shadrak, Meshak, hoi Abednego tinaw hah a thaw a luen sak pouh.
