Daniel 3
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was three score cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
Nebuchadnezzar lengpan, sana milim khat asemin, milim chu asandan tong somgup alhingin chuleh availam tong gup alhinge. Chuleh milim chu Dura phaicham, Babylon gamkai sunga chun atungdoh in ahi.
2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Chuin lengpan, thuneiho, vaihom ho, gamkai vaipo ho, leng thumop ho, neiching ho, thutan vaihom ho, thutan pipuho, chuleh gamkai pumpia vaipo ho heng’a, thusep mi asolin, milim atundoh kikatdoh na-a abon’uva hung pang cheh diuvin aga khopsah tai.
3 Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, 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.
Hijeh chun, thuneiho, vaihom ho, gamkai vaipo ho, leng thumop ho, neiching ho, thutan vaihom ho, thutan pipuho, chuleh gamkai pumpia vaipo ho, abonchauvin ahung cheh’un, lengpan atundoh milim angsung’a chun adingsoh tauvin ahi.
4 Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
Chuin lhangsam aw khat ahung kisam in, “Vo chitin’a mi jouse, namtin leh phungtin’a miho, chuleh pao tintang thoho jouse, nanghon lengpa thupeh ngaiyun.
5 That at what time you hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up:
Nanghon saki kimut gin, theile gin, semjang gin, khong leh dah gin, chuleh tumging dang dang ho gin najah teng’u leh, sana-a kisem lengpa milim tundoh hi, tol’a naboh khup’uva chibai naboh cheh dingu ahi.
6 And whoever falls not down and worships shall the same hour be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.
Koi hijong leh, hiche chibai bohding thupeh juilou jouse, apettah’a meilhum sung’a kiseplut ding ahi,’’ ati.
7 Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Hichun, tumging ho ahung gin phat chun, mijouse chu, koi jat koi nam hihen chuleh ipi pao tho hijongleh, abonchauvin sana-a kisem milim, Nebuchadnazzar lengpan atundoh chu, tol’a bohkhup in chibai abohsoh kei tauve.
8 Why at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
Hichepet chun, Chaldea mi phabep lengpa heng’a acheuvin, Jews miho chu agahehseuvin ahi.
9 They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.
Amahon, Nebuchadnezzar lengpa jah’a, Vo lengpa hingsot in!
10 You, O king, have made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
Nangman mijouse chung’a thupeh gahtah nabolin, koi hijong leh saki kimut gin, theile gin, semjang gin, khong leh dah gin, chuleh tumging thei dang dang ho gin, ajah tenguleh, natundoh sana milim chu bohkhup’a chibai aboh cheh ding nati.
11 And whoever falls not down and worships, that he should be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.
Chuleh hiche thupeh chun, koi hijongleh, hiche thupeh juilou jouse chu thonlouva meilhum sung’a selut ding ati.
12 There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded you: they serve not your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.
Ahivangin, Jews mi phabep Shadrach, Meshachchuleh Abednego, nangman Babylon gamkai ho mopo’a napansah ho chun, Vo lengpa nang thupeh chu ngaisah in aneipouve. Amahon milim natundoh chu bokhup’a chibai boh ding ada uvin, chuleh nangma pathen houna kinbol ding anom pouve,” atiuvin ahi.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
Chuin Nebuchadnezzar jong alung hang behseh jengin, Shadrach, Meshach chuleh Abednego chu, a-ang sung’a ahin kailut diuvin thupeh aneitai. Chuin amaho chu lengpa angsung’a chun ahin kailut tauve.
14 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not you serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
Hichun Nebuchadnezzar lengpan ajah’uva,” Shadrach, Meshach chule Abednego, nanghon kei pathen ho houna-kin bol ding adauvin chuleh katundoh sana-milim jong chibai abohpouve, kitihi adih ham?
15 Now if you be ready that at what time you hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if you worship not, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
Keiman nangho avel’a khatvei kateppeh nahiuvve, saki kimut gin, theile gin, semjang gin, khong leh dah gin, chuleh tumgingthei dang dang ho gin, najah phat’u leh katundoh milim hi bohkhop’a chibai naboh cheh diu ahi. Amavang hichea jong nada teitei uleh, apettah’a meilhum deujeju sung’a nakiseplut ding’u ahitai. Chutah leh, kei khut’a kon’a itobang pathenin nahuh doh diuham?” atitai.
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer you in this matter.
Shadrach, Meshach chule Abednego chun lengpa adonbut’un,”Vo Nebuchadnezzar, keihon nangma angsung’a kihonna thu ka seiju angai khohpoi.
17 If it be so, 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.
Meilhum deujeju sung’a nei seplut’ujongleh chun, keihon kahouvu akin-na katoh peh’u, ka Pathen’u chun eihuhdohdiu ahi. Vo! lengpa, nangma khut a kon chun hiche ka Pathenu chun eihuhdoh nauvinte.
18 But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.
Amavang hichea hin eihuhdoh hih beh’ujongleh, kicheh tahin neihetpeh’un, keihon itihchan hijong leh na-pathen ho chu kahou louheldiu chuleh natundoh sana-milim jong chibai kaboh louheldiu ahi,” atiuve.
19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
Nebuchadnezzar chu, Shadrach, Meshach chuleh Abednego chung’a alunghang vang jeng tan, amaiso melse leuvin alunghang doh tai. Hijeh chun, aman jong meilhum koujeju chu asat-ngaina sang’a sagiveijen asatbe sahdiuvin thu apetai.
20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
Chu in lengpan sepai thahat cheh phabep asolin, Shadrach, Meshach chuleh Abednego chu akan’uva meilhum sung’a aselut diuvin thupeh anei tai.
21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
Hijeh chun, sepai hon amaho chu akivonnau jouse, ponsil chol, sangkhol, lukop, chu leh adang jouse pumin akan’un, meilhum deujeju sung’a chun ase lut tauve.
22 Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Lengpa alunghang val jeh’a, meilhum halbe ding’a thupeh anei tahjeh chun, meilhum chu asaval behseh jeng tan, Shadrach, Meshach chuleh Abednego gaseplut’a pang sepaiho chu meikong chun ahallih gam tauvin ahi.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
Hitichun, Shadrach, Meshach Chuleh Abednego chu, akikannau pumin meilhum deujeju sung’a chun alhalutjel tauve.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spoke, and said to his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the middle of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king.
Chupettah chun phulou helouvin, Nebuchadnezzar chu tija henhunin ahung ding doh jengin, ama thumop’a pangho jah’a chun,” Mithum ho chu kikan’a meilhum sung’a kiseplut hilou ham?” ati. Amahon adonbut un, “Vo lengpa, kikan ahinai” atiuve.
25 He answered and said, See, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
Hichun Nebuchadnezzar a-eojah in,” Ahileh meilhum sung’a mili tah kilhamsa-a kijot lele, meikong in jong akahlou kamu khu veta’u, Chuleh alina mipa khu Pathen toh abang’e” ati.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spoke, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the most high God, come forth, and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the middle of the fire.
Chuphat in Nebuchadnezzar jong meilhum kongjeju kihalna kot phung ahin naijin, Vo Shadrach, Mesach chuleh Abednego, hungpot doh jeng’un, hikom’a hung loijun, tin aga kou tai. Hichun Shadrach, Mesach chuleh Abednego meilhum sung’a kon’in ahung pot doh tauve.
27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, on whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
Chu in gamsung vaipolen ho, vaihom ho, gamkai vaipo’a pang ho, chuleh lengpa thumop’a pangho abon’un ahungkhom soh keijun, amaho thumchu aum kimvelun, hiche mithum ho chu meikong chun ima alotheipoi ti amu sohtauve. Alujanguva sam jang khat jong akapon, chuleh aponsil’u jong akapoi. Atahsa chung uva meikhugim cha jong anam pouve.
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spoke, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
Hichun Nebuchadnezzar chun aseitai, “Shadrach, Mesach chuleh Abednego Pathen chu thangvahin umhen. Aman vantil ahinsolin, kitah tah’a alhacha-a pangho ahuhdoh sahtai. Amahon a Pathen’u tilou, Pathen dangho houna leh alhacha-a pan sangin, thidingin atahsa’u apedoh’un, lengpa thupeh jong adonse tapouvin ahi.
29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss 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 that can deliver after this sort.
Hijeh chun, keiman hiche thupeh hi gahtah’a kabol ahi. Ami jouse, koimi koinam hihen, ipi pao tho hijong leh, Shadrach, Mesach chuleh Abednego Pathen douna kamcheng khat seidoh chu, atahsa kibottel ding chuleh a-in’u jong kiphelha-a, in-gem’a kikoi ding ahi. Ajeh chu hitobang’a mi huhdoh ding Pathen dang aumpoi,’’ ati.
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
Chujouvin, lengpan jong Shadrach, Mesach chuleh Abednego chu Babylon gamkai sung’a vaipohna sangjo apehbetan ahi.
