3 Then [were] gathered satraps the prefects the and governors the counselors the ministers the judges the magistrates the and all [the] authorities of provinces the for [the] dedication of image the which he had set up Nebuchadnezzar king the (and [they were] standing *Q(k)*) before image the which he had set up Nebuchadnezzar.
Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellers, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
4 And herald the [was] proclaiming with power to you [they are] saying peoples O nations and languages.
Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
5 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.
That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
6 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.
And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
7 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.
Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 As to because this at it time the they approached men Chaldean and they ate pieces their of Jews the.
Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
9 They replied and [were] saying to Nebuchadnezzar king the king O for ever live!
They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.
10 (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.
Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
11 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.
And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 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.
There are certain Jews whom thou hast set 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 elohim, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
13 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.
Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king.
14 [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.
Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye serve my elohim, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
15 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.
Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, 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 that Elohim that shall deliver you out of my hands?
16 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.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
17 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.
If it be so, our Elohim whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
18 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.
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy elohim, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
19 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.
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
20 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.
And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 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.
Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 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.
Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
23 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.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 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.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
25 [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.
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of Elohim.
26 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.
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the most high Elohim, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
27 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.
And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellers, being gathered together, saw these men, upon 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.
28 [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.
Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the Elohim 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 yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any elohim, except their own Elohim.
29 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.
Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the Elohim of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other Elohim that can deliver after this sort.
30 Then king the he caused to prosper Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego in [the] province of Babylon.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.
