< Daniel 3 >

1 King Nebuchadnezzar ordered his men to make a gold statue. It was (90 feet/27 meters) high and (9 feet/2.7 meters) wide. They set it up in the Dura plain in Babylon province.
Nebiuga: denese da sia: beba: le, ea ouligisu dunu da dununa amo gouliga hamone, Dula umi sogebi Ba: bilone soge bagade ganodini bugisi. Amo ea sedade defei da27mida amola ea ba: de defei da3mida agoane ba: i.
2 Then he sent messages to all the provincial governors, the district governors, the chief advisors, the counselors, the various judges, and all the other officials in the province. He told them to come to the dedication of the statue that he had set up.
Ilia amo ligisi dagolalu, Nebiuga: denese da eagene ouligisu dunu huluane gilisila misa: ne sia: i. Amola ouligisu dunu bisilua amola amo baligia aligisu da: i, dunu muni ouligisu, fofada: su dunu eno amola diasu fi eno, amo dunu huluane gilisi. Ilia da Nebiuga: denese ea dununa hamoi liligi bagade amo ilegemusa: gilisi.
3 When they all arrived, they all stood in front of that statue.
Amola goe dunu bagade dawa: su amola eagene amola amo dunu ilia dununa hamoi amo modale ligiagamusa: , ea midadi aligi lelea,
4 Then an announcer shouted, “You people who come from many countries and many people-groups and [who speak many] languages, listen to what the king has commanded!
sisia: su dunu afae da ha: giwane amane wei, “Dilia fifi asi gala dunu huluane amola sia: hisu hisu dunu amola dunu amola uda huluane noga: le nabima!
5 When you hear the sounds made by the trumpets, the flutes, the guitars, the harps, the wind instruments, and all the other musical instruments, bow down to worship King Nebuchadnezzar’s gold statue.
Dilia da dalabede dubi nabimu. Amalalu, dilia da gesami hea: lalu dusu liligi bagohame amola amo dubi nabimu. Amo dilia nabalu, defea, dilia beguduli, amo dununa hamoi Nebiuga: denese ea bugi, amoma nodone sia: ne gadoma.
6 Anyone who refuses to do that will be thrown into a blazing furnace!”
Nowa da amoma hame sia: ne gadosea, dadi gagui da amo dunu hedolodafa lale, lalu bubugi sawa: bagade amo ganodini galadigimu!”
7 So when all those people who had gathered heard the sounds made by the musical instruments, they all bowed down to worship the statue.
Amaiba: le, fifi asi gala dunu amola sia: hisu hisu dunu huluane da gesami hea: sa dusu liligi amo ea ga: lalabolalu, ilia da beguduli, amo dununa hamoi Nebiuga: denese ea bugi, amoma ilia da sia: ne gadoi.
8 But some of the men who studied the stars went to the king.
Amogalu, Ba: bilone dunu mogili amo da Yu dunu higasu, ilia da Yu dunuma diliwaneya udidima: ne logo doasi dagoi ba: i.
9 They reported to him, “We hope that you, O king, will live a long time!
Ilia da hina bagade Nebiuga: denesema amane sia: i, “Hina bagade! Di da eso huluane mae bogole fifi ahoanumu da defea!”
10 You decreed that all the officials [whom you had gathered] should bow down and worship the gold statue when they heard the sounds made by the musical instruments.
“Hina bagade dia sema ligi amo da amane sia: i. Gesami hea: lalu liligi ga: nabalalu, dunu huluane da dununa dia loboga gouliga hamone bugi amoma beguduli sia: ne gadoma: ne sia: i dagoi galu.
11 You also decreed that those who refused to do that would be thrown into a blazing furnace.
Be nowa dunu da amoga hame beguduli sia: ne gadolalea, dia dadi gagui da amo dunu lale, lalu bubugi sawa: bagade amo ganodini galagamu sia: i galu.
12 Sir, there are some men from Judah whom you have appointed to be officials in Babylon province who have not obeyed your decree. Their names are Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They have refused to worship your god and the gold statue that you have set up.”
Be Yuda dunu udiana amo ilia da Ba: bilone soge ouligima: ne di sia: i. Ilia dio da Sia: dala: ge, Misia: ge amola Abedenigou. Amola ilia da dia hamoma: ne sia: i amo hame nabi. Ilia da dia ‘gode’ ema hame sia: ne gadosa, amola dununa dia hamoi amoma ilia hame beguduli sia: ne gadoi!”
13 Nebuchadnezzar became very angry. He commanded [his soldiers] to bring in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. When they were brought to him,
Hina bagade da amo sia: nababeba: le, ougi bagadedafa ba: i. E amane sia: i, “Amo dunu udiana nama oule misa!”
14 Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true that you three men have refused to worship my gods or the gold statue that I have set up?
Ilia da hina bagadema misini doaga: loba, e da ilima amane adole ba: i,” Sia: dala: ge, Misia: ge amola Abedenigou! Dilia da na ‘gode’ amola na dununa hamoi amoma dilia da sia: ne gadomusa: higasa na da nabi. Amo ilia da sia: dalebe da dafawanela: ?
15 [If that is true, ] I will give you one more chance. If you bow down to worship the statue that I have set up when you hear the sounds of the musical instruments, fine. But if you refuse, you will be thrown immediately into the blazing furnace. Then (what god will be able to rescue you from my power?/no god will be able to rescue you from my power!)” [RHQ]
Be wali dilia da gesami hea: lalu liligi amo ilia ga: eno nabalalu, dilia beguduli amola dununa hamoi amoma nodone sia: ne gadoma. Be dilia na sia: hame nabasea, dadi gagui da dili lale, lalu bubugi sawa: bagade amo ganodini galadimu. Amola nowa ‘gode’ da dili laluga mae nema: ne fidima: bela: ?” Nebiuga: denese da amane sia: i.
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, “Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend our [actions] to you in this matter.
Sia: dala: ge, Misia: ge amola Abedenigou da amane sia: i, “Hina bagade! Ninisu da ninia hou hame gaga: mu. Dia ninima adi liligi hamomusa: dawa: sea hamoma.
17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we worship is able to rescue us. Sir, he will rescue us from your power.
Ninia da Godedafa Ema hawa: hamosa. E da nini lalu bubugi sawa: bagade amola dia gasa amoga gaga: musa: defele esala. E da amo hamomusa: dawa: sea, E da amo hamomu.
18 But [even] if he does not [rescue us], you need to know that we will never worship your gods or the gold statue that you have set up.”
Be E da nini hame gaga: sea, defea, ninia da hame dawa: mu. Be ninia da dia ‘gode’ goma ninia hame sia: ne gadomu. Amola ninia da dia dununa gouliga hamoi amoma hamedafa begudumu.”
19 Nebuchadnezzar was extremely angry. [His being very angry even] showed on his face. He commanded that the furnace should be made seven times as hot as usual.
Nebiuga: denese da amo sia: nababeba: le ougi bagade ba: i. E da Sia: dala: ge, Misia: ge amola Abedenigou ilia hou dawa: beba: le, ea si da hea: le dagoidafa ba: i. E da ea hawa: hamosu dunuma ilia da lalu ea gasa bagade fesuale agoane bu hahamoma: ne sia: i.
20 [After that was done, ] he commanded some of the [very] strong men of his army to tie Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and [then] to throw them into the blazing furnace.
Amola e da baligili gasa bagade dadi gagui dunu ilima ilia da Sia: dela: ge, Misia: ge amola Abedenigou ili oule asili, lalu bubugi sawa: bagade ganodini galadagima: ne sia: i.
21 So [the soldiers] tied them up and threw them into the furnace, while they were wearing their clothes.
Amalalu, ilia da amo udiana la: gili, amola ilia abula gilisili la: gili, lalu bubugi sawa: bagade amo ganodini galagai.
22 Because the fire had been made very hot because the king had very strongly ordered them to do that, the flames [leaped out and] killed the soldiers as they were throwing the men into the fire!
Hina bagade da ea fidisu dunu ilima lalu dogolo bagade heda: ma: ne sia: i dagoi. Amaiba: le, dadi gagui sosodo aligisu dunu ilia Yuda dunu udiana amo gaguli asili lalu ganodini galagai. Lalu da dogolo bagadeba: le, sosodo aligisu dunu amo nei dagoi ba: i.
23 So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego fell into the roaring flames.
Be Sia: dela: ge, Misia: ge amola Abedenigou ili da efega lala: gili, lalu dogoa amodili muwane sa: i.
24 But as Nebuchadnezzar was watching, he was amazed. He suddenly jumped up and shouted to his advisors, “Did we tie up three men and throw them into the flames, or not?” They replied, “Yes, O king, [we did].”
Nebiuga: denese da ili ba: beba: le hedolodafa wa: legadole lelu. E da ea fidisu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Ninia dunu udiana ninia la: la: gili amola lalu bubugi sawa: amoga galagai o hame galagaila: ? Ilia amane adole i,” Ma! Ninia da dunu udiana galagai.”
25 Nebuchadnezzar shouted, “[Look]! I see four men in the fire! They have no ropes on them, they are walking around, and [the flames] are not hurting them! And the fourth man looks like a divine being!”
Nebiuga: denese da amane sia: i, “Amaiba: le, na da abuliba: le dunu biyaduyale amo lalu ganodini lalalebe ba: sala: ? Amola ilia da mae la: la: gili lalebe. Amola lalu amoga ili da hame nei. Amola dunu biyadu e da ‘gode’ ea mano agoai ba: sa.
26 Nebuchadnezzar came closer to the opening of the flaming furnace, and he shouted, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you who worship the Supreme God, come out of there! Come here!” So they stepped out of the fire.
Amanoba, Nebiuga: denese da asili, lalu logo ga: su amo gadenene aligili, amane wei, “Sia: dela: ge, Misia: ge amola Abedenigou! Dilia da Gode Gadodafa amo Ea hawa: hamosu dunu. Dili gadili misa!” Amalalu, ilia da lalu amo yolesili gadili asi dagoi.
27 Then all the king’s officials crowded around them. They saw that the flames had not harmed them. The flames had not [even] singed any of the hair on their heads or scorched any of their clothes! There was not [even] any smell of smoke on them!
Amola hina bagade ea eagene ouligisu dunu mimogo amo ili gadenene misini, Yuda dunu udiana amo ba: i. Be ba: loba da ili da laluga hame nei ba: i. Amola ili ba: loba da laluga da ilia abula amola ilia hinabo da laluga hame nei. Amola ilia da: i hodo amoga da lalu mobi gaha agoai da hamedafa nabi.
28 [Then] Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise the God whom Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego [worship]! He sent one of his angels to rescue these [three] men who worship him and trust in him. They ignored my command; they insisted that they would worship only their God, and were willing to die instead of worshiping any other god.
Amola hina bagade da amane sia: i, “Sia: dela: ge, Misia: ge amola Abedenigou ilia Gode Ea Dio nodone gaguia gadoma! E da a: igele dunu asunasili, dunu udiana ili gaga: i dagoi. Bai ilia da Ema dafawaneyale dawa: be amola Ema hawa: hamonana. Amola ilia da eno ‘gode’ liligi amoma beguduli sia: ne gadomu higa: iba: le, ilia da na sia: hame nabi, amola ilia da bogomuba: le hame beda: su.
29 Therefore, I am [now] making this decree: ‘If any people, from any country or people-group or any language group, criticize the God whom Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego worship, they will be cut in pieces and their houses [will be torn down and] made into a pile of rubble. There is no other god who can rescue people like this!’”
Wali na da sema eno ilegesa. Nowa dunu fifi asi gala sia: hisu dunu huludafa amo afae da Sia: dela: ge, Misia: ge amola Abedenigou ilia Gode Ea hou lasogole sia: sea, na dadi gagui dunu da amo dunu ea emo amola lobo huluane hiougili dagagala: ma: mu. Amola ea diasu mugululi, isu salasu agoane hamomu. Gode Bagadedafa da Gaga: su dunudafa. Eno ‘gode’ agoaiwane da hamedafa gala.”
30 Then the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego more important positions in Babylon province than they had before.
Hina bagade da adoi dagoi. Amola e da Sia: dela: ge, Misia: ge amola Abedenigou ilima hawa: hamosu amo da ilia musa: hawa: hamosu baligi, Ba: bilone soge ganodini ilima i.
