Danieli 3
1 Na rĩrĩ, Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru nĩathondekithirie mũhianano wa thahabu, wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ kũraiha na igũrũ, na mĩkono ĩtandatũ kwarama, na akĩũhaandithia werũ-inĩ wa Dura kũu bũrũri wa Babuloni.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, and whose breadth was six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
2 Nebukadinezaru agĩcooka agĩĩta anene, na anyabara, na abarũthi, na ataari a mũthamaki, na aigi kĩgĩĩna, na aciirithania, na mawakiri, na anene a mabũrũri make mothe moke kĩamũro-inĩ gĩa kwamũra mũhianano ũcio aahandithĩtie.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the prefects, and the deputy governors, the chief judges, the treasurers, the judges, the counsellors, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, anene, na anyabara, na abarũthi, na ataari a mũthamaki, na aigi kĩgĩĩna, na aciirithania, na mawakiri, na anene othe a mabũrũri makĩgomana nĩ ũndũ wa kwamũra mũhianano ũcio Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru aahaandithĩtie, nao makĩrũgama mbere yaguo.
Then the satraps, prefects, and deputy governors, the chief judges, treasurers, judges, counsellors, and all the rulers of the provinces were gathered together to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
4 Nake mũhuhi coro akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ andũ a iruka ciothe na a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, na a mĩario yothe ta thikĩrĩriai ũrĩa mũthamaki aathanĩte mwĩke.
Then a herald cried aloud: To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
5 Rĩrĩa mũrĩigua mũgambo wa coro, na mĩtũrirũ, na thethe, na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, na mĩtũrirũ ĩrĩa mĩariĩ, o hamwe na ũini wa mĩthemba yothe-rĩ, o rĩmwe mwĩgũithie thĩ mũhooe mũhianano ũcio wa thahabu ũrĩa Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru aahaandithĩtie.
that at the time ye hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, the harp, the sambuck, the psaltery, the bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image which Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up.
6 Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũtekwĩgũithia thĩ na ahooe, o hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩegũikio icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki ũgwakana mũno.”
And whoso doth not fall down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩrĩa andũ acio maiguire mũgambo wa coro, na mĩtũrirũ, na thethe, na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, na ũini wa mĩthemba yothe, andũ othe, na ndũrĩrĩ, na andũ a mĩario yothe makĩĩgũithia thĩ, makĩhooya mũhianano ũcio wa thahabu ũrĩa Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru aahaandithĩtie.
Therefore at the time when all the people heard the sound of the horn, the pipe, the harp, the sambuck, the psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the people, the nations, and the languages fell down and worshipped the golden image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 Ihinda o rĩu arori a njata amwe makĩyumĩria, magĩcuuka Ayahudi,
Wherefore at that time certain Chaldaeans came near, and accused the Jews.
9 makĩĩra Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru atĩrĩ, “Wee mũthamaki ũrotũũra tene na tene!
They spake and said to King Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live forever!
10 Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũthamaki nĩũrutĩte uuge waku, ũkoiga atĩ rĩrĩa mũndũ o wothe akaigua mũgambo wa coro, na mĩtũrirũ, na thethe, na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, na mĩtũrirũ ĩrĩa mĩariĩ, na ũini wa mĩthemba yothe no nginya egũithie thĩ, ahooe mũhianano ũcio wa thahabu,
Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, the harp, the sambuck, the psaltery, the bagpipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;
11 na ũkoiga atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũtekwĩgũithia thĩ aũhooe, nĩagaikio icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki ũgwakana mũno.
and that whoso doth not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 No rĩrĩ, nĩ harĩ Ayahudi amwe arĩa wee ũigĩte a kũrora maũndũ ma bũrũri wa Babuloni, na nĩo Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, arĩa matakũiguaga, wee mũthamaki. Matitungatagĩra ngai ciaku, kana makahooya mũhianano wa thahabu ũcio ũhandithĩtie.”
Now there are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, these men, O king, have not regarded thee; they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Nebukadinezaru agĩcinwo nĩ marakara, nake agĩtũmanĩra Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego mareehwo harĩ we. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio makĩreehwo mbere ya mũthamaki,
Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
14 nake Nebukadinezaru akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũhoro wa ma wee Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, atĩ mũtitungatagĩra ngai ciakwa, o na kana mũkahooya mũhianano wa thahabu ũcio handithĩtie?
Nebuchadnezzar spake and said to them, Was it by design, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego? Do ye not serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
15 Rĩu-rĩ, mũngĩĩhaarĩria nĩgeetha rĩrĩa mũrĩigua mũgambo wa coro, na mĩtũrirũ, na thethe, na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, na mĩtũrirũ ĩrĩa mĩariĩ, na ũini wa mĩthemba yothe, mwĩgũithie thĩ, mũhooe mũhianano ũcio niĩ thondekithĩtie, nĩ wega mũno. No rĩrĩ, mũngĩrega kũhooya mũhianano ũcio-rĩ, nĩmũgũikio o ro rĩmwe icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki ũgwakana mũno. Na rĩrĩ, hihi nĩ ngai ĩrĩkũ ĩngĩhota kũmũhonokia kuuma guoko-inĩ gwakwa?”
Now if ye be ready that at the time ye hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, the harp, the sambuck, the psaltery, the bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have set up, 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?
16 Nao Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego magĩcookeria mũthamaki, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee Nebukadinezaru, ithuĩ tũtibataire kwĩyarĩrĩria tũrĩ mbere yaku igũrũ rĩa ũhoro ũyũ.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter.
17 Tũngĩikio icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki ũgwakana mũno-rĩ, Ngai ũrĩa ithuĩ tũtungataga e na ũhoti wa gũtũruta thĩinĩ warĩo, na nĩwe ũgũtũhonokia kuuma guoko-inĩ gwaku, wee mũthamaki.
Behold, our God, whom we serve, is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king!
18 No rĩrĩ, o na angĩaga gũtũhonokia-rĩ, nĩtũkwenda ũmenye, wee mũthamaki, atĩ ithuĩ tũtingĩtungatĩra ngai ciaku, kana tũhooe mũhianano wa thahabu ũcio wee ũhandithĩtie.”
But if not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Nebukadinezaru akĩrakara mũno nĩ ũndũ wa Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, na agĩtukia gĩthiithi nĩ ũndũ wao. Agĩcooka agĩathana, akiuga icua rĩu rĩongererwo ngũ nĩguo rĩhiũhe maita mũgwanja ma ũrĩa rĩakoragwo rĩhiũhĩte.
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And he spake and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
20 Nebukadinezaru agĩatha thigari imwe iria ciarĩ na hinya mũno ita-inĩ rĩake ciohe Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, imaikie icua-inĩ rĩu rĩa mwaki wakanĩte mũno.
And he commanded the mightiest men in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio, mehumbĩte kanjũ ciao, na thuruarĩ, na iremba, o na nguo icio ingĩ-rĩ, makĩohwo na magĩikio icua-inĩ rĩu rĩa mwaki wakanĩte mũno.
Then these men were bound in their trousers, their under-garments, their mantles, and their other clothing, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Watho ũcio wa mũthamaki warĩ wa ihenya mũno, narĩo icua rĩkahiũha mũno, ũũ atĩ nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki ũcio cioragire thigari iria cianyiitĩte Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego,
And because the command of the king was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire killed those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 nao andũ acio atatũ, moohetwo makarũmio, makĩgũa icua-inĩ rĩu rĩa mwaki wakanĩte mũno.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru akĩgega, akĩrũgama na igũrũ o rĩmwe, akĩũria andũ arĩa maamũheaga kĩrĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ti andũ atatũ tuohire na twamaikia mwaki-inĩ?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩ ma ũguo nĩguo, mũthamaki.”
Then Nebuchadnezzar, the king, was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said to his counsellors, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king!
25 Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, ta rorai! Niĩ ndĩrona andũ ana magĩcangacanga mwaki-inĩ, matarĩ ohe kana makahutio nĩ mwaki, nake ũcio wa kana ahaana ta ũmwe wa ariũ a ngai.”
He answered and said, Behold, 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.
26 Nebukadinezaru agĩkuhĩrĩria mũromo-inĩ wa icua rĩu rĩakanaga mwaki, akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, inyuĩ ndungata cia Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ Igũrũ-Mũno, umĩrai, mũũke haha!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego makiumĩra mwaki-inĩ ũcio,
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth! Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came forth out of the midst of the fire.
27 nao anene, na anyabara, na abarũthi, na arĩa maataaraga mũthamaki othe makĩmarigiicĩria, makĩĩonera atĩ mwaki ndwamekĩte ũũru mĩĩrĩ yao, kana rũcuĩrĩ rwa mĩtwe yao rũkahĩa, o na nguo iria mehumbĩte itiahĩte, na matianungaga mwaki o na atĩa.
And the satraps, prefects, and deputy governors, and the counsellors of the king, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was a hair of their head singed, nor were their trousers changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.
28 Nake Nebukadinezaru akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai wa Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego arogoocwo, ũrĩa ũtũmĩte mũraika wake, ateithũre ndungata ciake! Mamwĩhokire, magĩkararia watho wa mũthamaki, na nĩmekwĩhaarĩirie kũruta mĩoyo yao handũ ha gũtungatĩra kana kũhooya ngai ingĩ, tiga Ngai ũcio wao.
Then Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants, that trusted in him, and disobeyed the command of the king, and gave up their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god except their own God!
29 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩndaruta watho atĩ andũ a rũrĩrĩ o ruothe kana rwario arĩa makaaria ũndũ o wothe wa gũũkĩrĩra Ngai wa Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego magatinangio icunjĩ, na nyũmba ciao imomorwo ituĩke hĩba ya mahiga, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ ngai ĩngĩ ĩngĩhonokania na njĩra ĩno.”
Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language which speaks anything reproachful against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and its houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other God that can deliver in this manner.
30 Nake mũthamaki agĩtũũgĩria Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego kũu bũrũri wa Babuloni.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
