< Daniel 3 >

1 King Nebuchadnezzar made a golden statue sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and he set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
Nangaramid ni Ari Nebucadnesar iti balitok nga estatua nga innem a pulo a cubico ti katayagna ken innem a cubico ti kaakabana. Impatakderna daytoy iti Tanap ti Dura idiay probinsia ti Babilonia.
2 Then King Nebuchadnezzar sent word to assemble the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the other officials of the provinces to attend the dedication of the statue he had set up.
Kalpasanna, nangibaon ni Nebucadnesar kadagiti mensahero a mangummong kadagiti gobernador ti probinsia, gobernador ti rehion ken dagiti gobernador ti ili a kaduada dagiti mammagbaga, tesorero, ukom, mahistrado ken dagiti amin a nangangato nga ofisial dagiti probinsia tapno dumar-ay iti pannakaidaton ti estatua nga impatakderna.
3 So the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces assembled for the dedication of the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up, and they stood before it.
Ket naguummong dagiti gobernador ti probinsia, gobernador ti rehion, gobernador ti ili a kaduada dagiti mammagbaga, tesorero, ukom, mahistrado, ken dagiti amin a nangangato nga ofisial ti probinsia iti panakaidaton ti estatua nga impatakder ni Nebucadnesar. Nagtakderda iti sangoanan daytoy.
4 Then the herald loudly proclaimed, “O people of every nation and language, this is what you are commanded:
Ket sipipigsa nga impukkaw ti agipakpakdaar, “Bilbilinenkayo, dakayo a tattao, dagiti nasion, ken pagsasao,
5 As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
nga iti kanito a mangngegyo ti uni dagiti tangguyob, plauta, sacabuche, lira, arpa, ken sinfonia, ken amin a kita ti musiko, masapul nga agkurno ken agpaklebkayo iti sangoanan ti balitok nga estatua nga impatakder ni Ari Nebucadnesar.
6 And whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.”
Siasinoman a saan nga agkurno ken agdayaw iti dayta a kanito, ket maitappuak iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno.”
7 Therefore, as soon as all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and all kinds of music, the people of every nation and language would fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Isu nga idi nangngeg dagiti amin a tattao ti uni dagiti tangguyob, plauta, sacabuche, lira, arpa ken sinfonia, ken dagiti amin a kita ti musiko, nagkurno ken nagpakleb dagiti amin a tattao, dagiti nasion, ken pagsasao iti sangoanan ti balitok nga estatua nga impatakder ni Nebucadnesar nga ari.
8 At this time some astrologers came forward and maliciously accused the Jews,
Ita iti daytoy a tiempo, adda sumagmamano a Caldeo nga immay ket pinabasolda dagiti Judio.
9 saying to King Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, may you live forever!
Kinunada kenni Nebucadnesar nga ari, “O Ari, agbiagka iti agnanayon!”
10 You, O king, have issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the golden statue,
Sika O ari, ket nangaramid iti bilin a tunggal tao a makangngeg iti uni dagiti tangguyob, plauta, sacabuche, lira, arpa ken sinfonia, ken dagiti amin a kita ti musiko, masapul nga agkurno ken agpakleb iti sangoanan ti balitok nga estatua.
11 and that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.
Siasinoman a saan nga agkurno ken agdayaw ket masapul a maitappuak iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno.
12 But there are some Jews you have appointed to manage the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—who have ignored you, O king, and have refused to serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”
Ita, adda sumagmamano a Judio a dinutokam a mangimaton kadagiti aramid iti probinsia ti Babilonia; dagiti naganda ket Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego. O ari, saandaka nga impangag dagitoy a lallaki. Saanda nga agdayaw, agserbi kadagiti diosmo, wenno agpakleb iti balitok nga estatua nga impatakdermo.”
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar, furious with rage, summoned Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king,
Ket kasta unay ti unget ken pungtot ni Nebucadnesar, imbilinna a maiyeg kenkuana da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego. Impanda ngarud dagitoy a lallaki iti ari.
14 and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, is it true that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden statue I have set up?
Kinuna ni Nebucadnesar kadakuada, “Nakapangngeddengkayo kadin, Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego, a saankayo nga agdayaw kadagiti diosko wenno agpakleb iti sangoanan ti balitok nga estatua nga impatakderko?
15 Now, if you are ready, as soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the statue I have made. But if you refuse to worship, you will be thrown at once into the blazing fiery furnace. Then what god will be able to deliver you from my hands?”
Ita, no nakasaganakayon— inton mangngegyo ti uni ti tangguyob, plauta, sacabuche, lira, arpa, ken sinfonia, ken dagiti amin a kita ti musiko—agkurno ken agpaklebkayo iti sangoanan ti estatua nga inaramidko ket nasayaatto ti pagbanaganyo. Ngem no saankayo nga agdayaw, maitappuakkayonto a dagus iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno. Siasino ti dios a makaispal kadakayo manipud kadagiti imak?”
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
Simmungbat iti ari da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego, “O Nebucadnesar, saanen a kasapulan a sungbatandaka maipapan iti daytoy a banag.
17 If the God whom we serve exists, then He is able to deliver us from the blazing fiery furnace and from your hand, O king.
No addan man maisungbatmi, ti Dios a pagserserbianmi ket pagtalinaedennakami a natalged iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno, ket ispalennakami manipud kadagiti imam, O ari.
18 But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”
Ngem no saannakami nga ispalen, maammoam koma, O ari, a saankaminto nga agdayaw kadagiti diosmo ken saankami nga agpakleb iti sangoanan ti balitok nga estatua nga impatakdermo.”
19 At this, Nebuchadnezzar was filled with rage, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He gave orders to heat the furnace seven times hotter than usual,
Ket kasta unay ti pungtot ni Nebucadnesar; nagbaliw ti langa ti rupana a maibusor kada Sedrac, Mesac ken Abednego. Imbilinna a rumbeng a mapapudot ti urno iti maminpito a daras a napudpudot ngem iti sigud a kapudot daytoy.
20 and he commanded some mighty men of valor in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the blazing fiery furnace.
Kalpasanna, binilinna dagiti sumagmamano a napipigsa a lallaki iti armadana a reppetenda da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego ket itappuakda ida iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno.
21 So they were tied up, wearing robes, trousers, turbans, and other clothes, and they were thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.
Rineppetda ida a sikakawes, sikakagay, nakaturban ken amin nga adda iti bagida ket naitappuakda iti umap-apuy nga horno.
22 The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the fiery flames killed the men who carried up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Gapu ta nainget a naipatungpal ti bilin ti ari ken napudot unay ti horno, nauram dagiti lallaki a nangitappuak kada Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego ket natayda.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, firmly bound, fell into the blazing fiery furnace.
Nareppet a naitappuak dagitoy tallo a lallaki a ni Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno.
24 Suddenly King Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and asked his advisers, “Did we not throw three men, firmly bound, into the fire?” “Certainly, O king,” they replied.
Kalpasanna, nasdaaw ket timmakder a dagus ni Nebucadnesar nga ari. Sinaludsodna kadagiti mammagbagana, “Saan kadi a tallo a nareppet a lallaki ti intappuaktayo iti apuy?” Insungbatda iti ari, “Pudno O Ari.”
25 “Look!” he exclaimed. “I see four men, unbound and unharmed, walking around in the fire—and the fourth looks like a son of the gods!”
Kinunana, “Ngem adda uppat a lallaki a makitak a saan a nareppet nga agpagnapagna iti apuy, ken saanda a nadangran. Ti kinaraniag ti maika-uppat ket kasla anak dagiti didios.”
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the door of the blazing fiery furnace and called out, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire,
Ket immmasideg ni Nebucadnesar iti ruangan ti gumilgil-ayab nga urno ket nagpukkaw, “Sedrac, Mesac ken Abednego nga adipen ti Kangangatoan a Dios, rumuarkayo! Umaykayo ditoy! Ket rimmuar manipud iti apuy da Sedrac, Mesac ken Abednego.
27 and when the satraps, prefects, governors, and royal advisers had gathered around, they saw that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men. Not a hair of their heads was singed, their robes were unaffected, and there was no smell of fire on them.
Nakita dagiti naguummong a gobernador ti probinsia, gobernador ti rehion ken dagiti dadduma a gobernador, ken dagiti mammagbaga ti ari dagitoy a lallaki. Saan a dinangran ti apuy dagiti bagida; saan a nasiraman dagiti buokda; saan a nadadael dagiti pagan-anayda; ken saanda nga agat-asuk.
28 Nebuchadnezzar declared, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him. They violated the king’s command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.
Kinuna ni Nebucadnesar, “Dayawentayo ti Dios da Sedrac, Mesac ken Abednego, a nangibaon iti mensaherona ken intedna ti mensahena kadagiti adipenna. Nagtalekda kenkuana idi saanda a tinungpal ti bilinko, ken inyawatda dagiti bagida ngem ti agdayaw wenno agpakleb iti siasinoman a dios malaksid iti Diosda.
29 Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be cut into pieces and their houses reduced to rubble. For there is no other god who can deliver in this way.”
Ngarud, ibilinko a siasinoman a tao, nasion wenno pagsasao nga agsarita iti maibusor iti Dios da Sedrac, Mesac ken Abednego ket masapul a marangrangkay ken agbalin a gabsuon dagiti rugit dagiti balayda gapu ta awan iti sabali a dios a makabael a mangisalakan a kas iti daytoy.”
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
Kalpasanna, impangato ti ari ti saad da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego iti probinsia ti Babilonia.
