4 And the herald cried aloud: 'To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,
And herald the [was] proclaiming with power to you [they are] saying peoples O nations and languages.
5 that at what time ye hear the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up;
At time the which you will hear [the] sound of horn the flute the (zither *Q(k)*) trigon harp pipe and all kinds of music you will fall down so you may pay homage to [the] image of gold which he has set up Nebuchadnezzar king the.
6 and whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.'
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.
7 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, 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.
As to because this at it time the as that [were] hearing all peoples the [the] sound of horn the flute the (zither *Q(k)*) trigon harp (and pipe *X*) and all kinds of music [were] falling down all peoples the nations the and languages the [they were] paying homage to [the] image of gold which he had set up Nebuchadnezzar king the.
8 Wherefore 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 spoke and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king: 'O king, live for ever!
They replied and [were] saying to Nebuchadnezzar king the king O for ever live!
10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;
(You *Q(k)*) king O you made a decree that every person who he will hear [the] sound of horn the flute the (zither *Q(k)*) trigon harp (and pipe *Q(k)*) and all kinds of music he will fall down so he may pay homage to [the] image of gold.
11 and whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall be cast into the midst 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 thou hast appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast 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 his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then were these men 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 spoke and said unto them: 'Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that ye serve not my gods, nor 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 ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made, well; but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is the god that shall 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 Abed-nego, answered and said to the king: 'O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee 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 our God whom we serve is able to deliver us, He will deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and out of thy 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, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast 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 was Nebuchadnezzar filled with fury, and the form of his visage was changed, against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be 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 And he commanded certain mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, 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 cloaks, their tunics, and their robes, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst 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 peremptory, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
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 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst 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 alarmed, and rose up in haste; he spoke and said unto his ministers: 'Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?' They answered and said unto 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 and said: 'Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and 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 Abed-nego, ye servants of God Most High, come forth, and come hither.' Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth out of the midst 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 And the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the king's ministers, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their cloaks changed, nor had the smell of fire passed 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 Abed-nego, who hath sent His angel, and delivered His servants that 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 any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god that is able to deliver after this sort.'
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 Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.
Then king the he caused to prosper Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego in [the] province of Babylon.
