Daniel 3
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king has made an image of gold, its height sixty cubits, its breadth six cubits; he has raised it up in the Valley of Dura, in the province of Babylon;
Naʻe ngaohi ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ha meʻa fakatātā koula, ʻaia naʻe teau ma uofulu ʻae hanga ʻo hono māʻolunga, pea ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu ma ua; naʻa ne fokotuʻu ia ʻi he toafa ʻo Tula ʻi he vahe fonua ʻo Papilone.
2 and Nebuchadnezzar the king has sent to gather the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the province, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Nepukanesa, ke fakataha ʻae houʻeiki hau mo e ngaahi pule, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo e ngaahi houʻeiki, mo e kau pule koloa, mo e kau tangata fakamatala fono, mo e kau fakamaau, pea mo e kau pule kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua, ke nau haʻu ki he fakatapui ʻoe meʻa fakatātā ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa.
3 Then are gathered the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the province, to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up: and they are standing before the image that Nebuchadnezzar has raised up.
Ko ia naʻe fakataha ai ʻae houʻeiki hau, mo e ngaahi pule, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo e houʻeiki mo e kau pule koloa, mo e kau fakamatala fono, mo e kau fakamaau, pea mo e kau pule ʻoe ngaahi fonua, ki he fakatapui ʻoe meʻa fakatātā ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa; pea naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe meʻa fakatātā ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Nepukanesa.
4 And a crier is calling mightily: “They are saying to you: O peoples, nations, and languages!
Pea naʻe kalanga mālohi ʻae tangata fekau; “ʻOku fekau kiate kimoutolu, ʻae kakai mo e ngaahi puleʻanga mo e kakai ʻi he lea kehekehe;
5 At the time that you hear the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, the symphony, and all kinds of music, you fall down and pay respect to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up:
ʻoka mou ka fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe koaneti, mo e fangufangu, ʻae haʻape mo e sakipute, ʻae saliteli mo e lali, mo e ngaahi meʻa hiva kehekehe kotoa pē, te mou punou hifo, mo hū ki he meʻa fakatātā ʻaia kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa;
6 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
Pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai punou mo hū, ʻe lī ia ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia ki he loto afi vela kakaha.”
7 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples are hearing the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and all kinds of music, falling down are all the peoples, nations and languages, worshiping the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up.
Ko ia ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he leʻo ʻoe koaneti mo e fangufangu, ʻae haʻape, mo e sakipute, ʻae saliteli, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa hiva kehekehe kotoa pē, naʻe punou hifo ʻo hū ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi lea, ki he meʻa fakatātā koula ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa.
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans have drawn near, and accused the Jews;
Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ha niʻihi ʻoe kau Kalitia, ʻo talatalaakiʻi ʻae kau Siu.
9 they have answered, indeed, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for all ages!
Naʻa nau lea ki he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa ʻo pehē, “ʻE tuʻi, ke ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata.
10 You, O king, have made a decree that every man who hears the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, falls down and pays respect to the golden image;
Ko koe, ʻe tuʻi, kuo ke fai fono, koeʻuhi ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻaia ʻe fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe koaneti, mo e fangufangu, ʻae haʻape, mo e sakipute, ʻae saliteli, mo e lali, mo e meʻa hiva kehekehe ke ne punou hifo ʻo hū ki he meʻa fakatātā koula:
11 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
Pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai tōmapeʻe ʻo hū, ʻe lī ia ki he loto afi vela kakaha.
12 There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the work of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, these men have not made of you, O king, [any] regard; your gods they are not serving, and to the golden image you have raised up—are not making worship.”
ʻOku ai ʻae kau Siu niʻihi, ʻaia kuo ke fokotuʻu ke pule ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻi he potu ʻo Papilone, ko Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko; ko e kau tangata ni, ʻe tuʻi, kuo nau taʻetokanga kiate koe; ʻoku ʻikai te nau tauhiʻi ho ngaahi ʻotua, pe hū ki he meʻa fakatātā koula, ʻaia kuo ke fokotuʻu.”
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar, in anger and fury, has said to bring in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Then these men have been brought in before the king.
Ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Nepukanesa ʻi heʻene houhau mo ʻene tuputāmaki ke ʻomi ʻa Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko. Ko ia naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae kau tangata ni ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.
14 Nebuchadnezzar has answered and said to them, “Is [it] a laid plan, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego—my gods you are not serving, and to the golden image that I have raised up you are not worshiping?
Pea ne lea ʻa Nepukanesa, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku moʻoni, ʻe Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ʻoku ʻikai te mou tauhiʻi ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻotua, pe hū ki he meʻa fakatātā koula ʻaia kuo u fokotuʻu?
15 Now behold, you are ready, so that at the time that you hear the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, you fall down and pay respect to the image that I have made! But if you do not worship—in that hour you are cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; who is that God who delivers you out of my hands?”
Ko eni, kapau te mou tali ʻoka mou ka fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe koaneti, mo e fangufangu, ʻae haʻape, mo e sakipute, ʻae saliteli, mo e lali, mo e ngaahi meʻa hiva kehekehe kotoa pē, pea te mou punou ʻo hū ki he meʻa fakatātā ʻaia kuo u ngaohi; pehē ʻe lelei: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou hū, ʻe lī ʻakimoutolu ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ki he loto afi vela kakaha; pea ko hai ʻae ʻotua ko ia te ne fakahaofi ʻakimoutolu mei hoku nima?”
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego have answered, indeed, they are saying to King Nebuchadnezzar, “We have no need concerning this matter to answer you.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ʻo pehē ki he tuʻi, “ʻE Nepukanesa, ʻoku ʻikai te mau toe fifili pe ko e hā haʻamau tali kiate koe ʻi he meʻa ni.
17 Behold, it is; our God whom we are serving, is able to deliver us from a burning fiery furnace; and from your hand, O king, He delivers.
Kapau ʻoku pehē, ʻoku mālohi ʻa homau ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku mau tauhi ke fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei he afi vela kakaha, pea te ne fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei ho nima, ʻe tuʻi.
18 And behold—not! Be it known to you, O king, that we are not serving your gods, and we do not worship the golden image you have raised up.”
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, ke ke ʻilo pe ʻe tuʻi, ʻe ʻikai te mau tauhiʻi ho ngaahi ʻotua, pe hū ki he meʻa fakatātā koula ʻaia kuo ke fokotuʻu.”
19 Then Nebuchadnezzar has been full of fury, and the expression of his face has been changed concerning Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; he answered and said to heat the furnace seven times above that which it is seen to be heated;
Ko ia naʻe fonu ai ʻa Nepukanesa ʻi he houhau, pea naʻe kehe ʻae anga ʻo hono fofonga kia Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ko ia naʻa ne lea ʻo fekau ke nau tafu ʻae afi ke liunga fitu hake ʻene vela ʻi heʻene faʻa vela.
20 and to certain mighty men who [are] in his force he has said to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to cast into the burning fiery furnace.
Pea ne fekau ki he kau tangata mālohi hake ʻi heʻene kongakau ke haʻi ʻa Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, pea lī ʻakinautolu ki he afi vela kakaha.
21 Then these men have been bound in their coats, their tunics, and their turbans, and their clothing, and have been cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Ko ia naʻe haʻi ʻae kau tangata ni mo honau ngaahi kofutuʻa, mo honau ngaahi kofu loto, mo honau ngaahi tatā, pea naʻe lī ʻakinautolu ki he loto afi vela kakaha.
22 Therefore, because that the word of the king is urgent, and the furnace heated exceedingly, those men who have taken up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego—the spark of the fire has killed them.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he fekau ʻae tuʻi ke fai ke toʻotoʻo, pea mo ʻene vela ʻaupito ʻae afi, naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he ulo ʻoe afi ʻae kau tangata ko ia naʻe hiki hake ʻa Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace—bound.
Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ni, ko Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ki he loto afi vela kakaha.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king has been astonished, and has risen in haste; he has answered and said to his counselors, “Have we not cast three men into the midst of the fire—bound?” They have answered and are saying to the king, “Certainly, O king.”
Pea naʻe ofo ʻae tuʻi ko Nepukanesa, pea ne tuʻu hake fakavave, mo ne lea ʻo pehē, ki he kau tangata tokoni ʻi he pule, “ʻIkai naʻa tau lī ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu kuo haʻi ki he loto afi?” Pea naʻa nau lea ʻo pehē ki he tuʻi, “ʻOku moʻoni, ʻe tuʻi.”
25 He answered and has said, “Behold, I am seeing four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth [is] like to a son of the gods.”
Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Vakai, ʻoku ou mamata ki he kau tangata ʻe toko fā, ʻoku ʻataʻatā, pea ʻoku nau ʻeveʻeva ʻi he loto afi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha kovi kiate kinautolu, pea ko e anga ʻo hono toko fā, ʻoku hangē ia ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.”
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar has drawn near to the gate of the burning fiery furnace; he has answered and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of God Most High come forth, indeed, come”; then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego come forth, from the midst of the fire;
Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Nepukanesa ʻo ofi ki he matapā ki he afi vela kakaha, ʻo ne lea ʻo pehē, “ʻE Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua māʻolunga, mou hū mai pea haʻu ki heni.” Pea naʻe hū mai ʻa Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, mei he loto afi.
27 and gathered together, the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the counselors of the king, are seeing these men, that the fire has no power over their bodies, and the hair of their head has not been singed, and their coats have not changed, and the smell of fire has not passed on them.
Pea naʻe mamata ʻe he houʻeiki hau, mo e ngaahi pule, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻae tuʻi, ʻi heʻenau fakataha, ki he kau tangata ni, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ke mālohi ʻae afi ki honau sino, pea naʻe ʻikai mahunuhunu ha tuʻoni louʻulu ʻe taha ʻi honau ʻulu, pea naʻe ʻikai ke fakakehe honau kofu, pea naʻe ʻikai ke hoko ʻae nanamu ʻoe afi kiate kinautolu.
28 Nebuchadnezzar has answered and has said, “Blessed [is] the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who has sent His messenger, and has delivered His servants who trusted on Him.” And the word of the king changed, and gave up their bodies that they might not serve nor pay respect to any god except to their own God.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Nepukanesa ʻo pehē, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae ʻOtua ʻo Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ʻaia kuo fekau ʻa ʻene ʻāngelo, pea kuo ne fakahaofi ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki naʻe falala kiate ia, pea kuo nau liliu ʻae lea ʻae tuʻi, ʻo fakahaofi ʻa honau sino, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau tauhi, pe hū ki ha ʻotua, ka ko honau ʻOtua pe.
29 “And by me a decree is made, that any people, nation, and language, that speaks erroneously concerning the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, he is made pieces, and its house is made a dunghill, because that there is no other god who is able thus to deliver.”
Ko ia ʻoku ou fokotuʻu ʻae fono, ʻilonga ha kakai, pe ha puleʻanga, pe ha lea, ʻoku lea kovi ki he ʻOtua ʻo Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ʻe tuʻutuʻu fakaikiiki ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ngaohi honau ngaahi fale ko e tuʻunga ʻotoʻota: koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai mo ha ʻOtua ʻe faʻa fakahaofi ʻo hangē ko eni.”
30 Then the king has caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
Pea naʻe hakeakiʻi ʻe he tuʻi ʻa Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko, ʻi he fonua ʻo Papilone.
