And whoever that not he will fall down so he may pay homage at it moment the he will be thrown to [the] midst of [the] furnace of fire the burning.

8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near and brought accusation against the Jews.
As to because this at it time the they approached men Chaldean and they ate pieces their of Jews the.
9 They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for ever!
They replied and [were] saying to Nebuchadnezzar king the king O for ever live!
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;

11 and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.
And whoever that not he will fall down so he may pay homage he will be thrown to [the] midst of [the] furnace of fire the burning.
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.”
There [are] men Jewish whom you have appointed them over [the] administration of [the] province of Babylon Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego men the these not they have set (to you *Q(k)*) king O discretion (to god your *Q(K)*) not [they are] paying reverence and to [the] image of gold which you have set up not [they are] paying homage.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men were brought before the king.
Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and anger he said to bring Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego then men the these they were brought before king the.
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?
[was] replying Nebuchadnezzar and [was] saying to them ¿ purpose O Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego to gods my not are you [are] paying reverence and to [the] image of gold which I have set up not [you are] paying homage.
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?”
Now if are you ready that at time the which you will hear [the] sound of horn the flute the (zither *Q(k)*) trigon harp and pipe and all - kinds of music you will fall down so you may pay homage to image the which I have made and if not you will pay homage at it moment the you will be thrown to [the] midst of [the] furnace of fire the burning and who? he [is the] god who he will deliver you from hands my.
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
They replied Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego and [they were] saying to king the Nebuchadnezzar not [are] needing we concerning this affair to send back to you.
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.
If there [is] God our whom we [are] paying reverence [is] being able to deliver us from [the] furnace of fire the burning and from hand your king O he will deliver.
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.”
And if not known let it be to you king O that (to god your *Q(K)*) not (are we *Q(k)*) paying reverence and to [the] image of gold which you have set up not we will pay homage.
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.
Then Nebuchadnezzar he was filled anger and [the] image of face his (it was changed *Q(K)*) against Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego [he was] replying and [he was] saying to heat furnace the one seven over that [was] proper to heat it.
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.
And to men mighty men of power who [were] in army his he said to bind Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego to throw to [the] furnace of fire the burning.
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.
Then men the these they were bound in mantles their (trousers their *Q(k)*) and caps their and clothes their and they were thrown to [the] midst of [the] furnace of fire the burning.
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.
As to because this from that [the] word of king the being harsh and furnace the [was] heated exceedingly men the these who they took up Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego it killed them flame the of fire the.
23 These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
And men the these three of them Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego they fell to [the] midst of [the] furnace of fire the burning bound.
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.”
Then Nebuchadnezzar king the he was alarmed and he arose in haste [he was] replying and [he was] saying to counselors his ¿ not men three did we throw to [the] midst of fire the bound [they were] replying and [they were] saying to king the certain king O.
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.”
[he was] replying And [he was] saying look! I [am] seeing men four loosed [they are] walking in [the] midst of fire the and hurt not there [is] on them and appearance his of (fourth the *Q(k)*) [is] like a son of [the] gods.
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.
Then he approached Nebuchadnezzar to [the] door of [the] furnace of fire the burning [he was] replying and [he was] saying O Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego servants his of God (Most High the *Q(k)*) come out! and come! then [were] coming out Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego from [the] midst of fire the.
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.
And [were] gathered satraps the prefects the and governors the and [the] counselors of king the [they were] seeing men the these that not it had had power fire the over body their and [the] hair of head their not it was singed and mantles their not they were changed and [the] smell of fire not it had touched on them.
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.
[was] replying Nebuchadnezzar and [he was] saying [be] blessed God their of Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego who he has sent angel his and he has delivered servants his who they trusted on him and [the] word of king the they violated and they gave (body their *Q(K)*) that not they will pay reverence and not they will pay homage to any god except to own God their.
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.”
And from me it is made a decree that any people nation and language which it will say (negligence *Q(K)*) against God their of Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego members he will be made and house his a refuse-heap it will be made as to because that not there [is] a god another who he is able to rescue like this.
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
Then king the he caused to prosper Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego in [the] province of Babylon.
