< Daniel 3 >

1 Nangaramid ni Ari Nebucadnesar iti balitok nga estatua nga innem a pulo a cubico ti katayagna ken innem a cubico ti kaakabana. Impatakderna daytoy iti Tanap ti Dura idiay probinsia ti Babilonia.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, [and] its breadth six cubits; he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
2 Kalpasanna, nangibaon ni Nebucadnesar kadagiti mensahero a mangummong kadagiti gobernador ti probinsia, gobernador ti rehion ken dagiti gobernador ti ili a kaduada dagiti mammagbaga, tesorero, ukom, mahistrado ken dagiti amin a nangangato nga ofisial dagiti probinsia tapno dumar-ay iti pannakaidaton ti estatua nga impatakderna.
And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the justices, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
3 Ket naguummong dagiti gobernador ti probinsia, gobernador ti rehion, gobernador ti ili a kaduada dagiti mammagbaga, tesorero, ukom, mahistrado, ken dagiti amin a nangangato nga ofisial ti probinsia iti panakaidaton ti estatua nga impatakder ni Nebucadnesar. Nagtakderda iti sangoanan daytoy.
Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the justices, 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 Ket sipipigsa nga impukkaw ti agipakpakdaar, “Bilbilinenkayo, dakayo a tattao, dagiti nasion, ken pagsasao,
And the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, [O] peoples, nations, and languages,
5 nga iti kanito a mangngegyo ti uni dagiti tangguyob, plauta, sacabuche, lira, arpa, ken sinfonia, ken amin a kita ti musiko, masapul nga agkurno ken agpaklebkayo iti sangoanan ti balitok nga estatua nga impatakder ni Ari Nebucadnesar.
that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up;
6 Siasinoman a saan nga agkurno ken agdayaw iti dayta a kanito, ket maitappuak iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno.”
and whosoever doth not fall down and worship shall that same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
7 Isu nga idi nangngeg dagiti amin a tattao ti uni dagiti tangguyob, plauta, sacabuche, lira, arpa ken sinfonia, ken dagiti amin a kita ti musiko, nagkurno ken nagpakleb dagiti amin a tattao, dagiti nasion, ken pagsasao iti sangoanan ti balitok nga estatua nga impatakder ni Nebucadnesar nga ari.
Therefore at that time when all the peoples heard the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down [and] worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 Ita iti daytoy a tiempo, adda sumagmamano a Caldeo nga immay ket pinabasolda dagiti Judio.
Whereupon at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
9 Kinunada kenni Nebucadnesar nga ari, “O Ari, agbiagka iti agnanayon!”
They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever!
10 Sika O ari, ket nangaramid iti bilin a tunggal tao a makangngeg iti uni dagiti tangguyob, plauta, sacabuche, lira, arpa ken sinfonia, ken dagiti amin a kita ti musiko, masapul nga agkurno ken agpakleb iti sangoanan ti balitok nga estatua.
Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;
11 Siasinoman a saan nga agkurno ken agdayaw ket masapul a maitappuak iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno.
and [that] whosoever doth not fall down and worship, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Ita, adda sumagmamano a Judio a dinutokam a mangimaton kadagiti aramid iti probinsia ti Babilonia; dagiti naganda ket Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego. O ari, saandaka nga impangag dagitoy a lallaki. Saanda nga agdayaw, agserbi kadagiti diosmo, wenno agpakleb iti balitok nga estatua nga impatakdermo.”
There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: these men, O king, regard thee not; they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set up.
13 Ket kasta unay ti unget ken pungtot ni Nebucadnesar, imbilinna a maiyeg kenkuana da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego. Impanda ngarud dagitoy a lallaki iti ari.
Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then were these men brought before the king.
14 Kinuna ni Nebucadnesar kadakuada, “Nakapangngeddengkayo kadin, Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego, a saankayo nga agdayaw kadagiti diosko wenno agpakleb iti sangoanan ti balitok nga estatua nga impatakderko?
Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said unto them, Is it of purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that ye serve not my god, nor worship the golden image that I have set up?
15 Ita, no nakasaganakayon— inton mangngegyo ti uni ti tangguyob, plauta, sacabuche, lira, arpa, ken sinfonia, ken dagiti amin a kita ti musiko—agkurno ken agpaklebkayo iti sangoanan ti estatua nga inaramidko ket nasayaatto ti pagbanaganyo. Ngem no saankayo nga agdayaw, maitappuakkayonto a dagus iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno. Siasino ti dios a makaispal kadakayo manipud kadagiti imak?”
Now if ye be ready at the time that ye hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, [well]: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast that same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
16 Simmungbat iti ari da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego, “O Nebucadnesar, saanen a kasapulan a sungbatandaka maipapan iti daytoy a banag.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter.
17 No addan man maisungbatmi, ti Dios a pagserserbianmi ket pagtalinaedennakami a natalged iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno, ket ispalennakami manipud kadagiti imam, O ari.
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 thy hand, O king.
18 Ngem no saannakami nga ispalen, maammoam koma, O ari, a saankaminto nga agdayaw kadagiti diosmo ken saankami nga agpakleb iti sangoanan ti balitok nga estatua nga impatakdermo.”
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set up.
19 Ket kasta unay ti pungtot ni Nebucadnesar; nagbaliw ti langa ti rupana a maibusor kada Sedrac, Mesac ken Abednego. Imbilinna a rumbeng a mapapudot ti urno iti maminpito a daras a napudpudot ngem iti sigud a kapudot daytoy.
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
20 Kalpasanna, binilinna dagiti sumagmamano a napipigsa a lallaki iti armadana a reppetenda da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego ket itappuakda ida iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno.
And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Rineppetda ida a sikakawes, sikakagay, nakaturban ken amin nga adda iti bagida ket naitappuakda iti umap-apuy nga horno.
Then these men were bound in their hosen, their tunics, and their cloaks, and their garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Gapu ta nainget a naipatungpal ti bilin ti ari ken napudot unay ti horno, nauram dagiti lallaki a nangitappuak kada Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego ket natayda.
Forasmuch as the king's commandment was rigorous, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that had taken up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
23 Nareppet a naitappuak dagitoy tallo a lallaki a ni Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Kalpasanna, nasdaaw ket timmakder a dagus ni Nebucadnesar nga ari. Sinaludsodna kadagiti mammagbagana, “Saan kadi a tallo a nareppet a lallaki ti intappuaktayo iti apuy?” Insungbatda iti ari, “Pudno O Ari.”
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste; he spoke and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king.
25 Kinunana, “Ngem adda uppat a lallaki a makitak a saan a nareppet nga agpagnapagna iti apuy, ken saanda a nadangran. Ti kinaraniag ti maika-uppat ket kasla anak dagiti didios.”
He answered and said, Lo, 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 God.
26 Ket immmasideg ni Nebucadnesar iti ruangan ti gumilgil-ayab nga urno ket nagpukkaw, “Sedrac, Mesac ken Abednego nga adipen ti Kangangatoan a Dios, rumuarkayo! Umaykayo ditoy! Ket rimmuar manipud iti apuy da Sedrac, Mesac ken Abednego.
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the opening of the burning fiery furnace; he spoke and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come [hither]. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came forth from the midst of the fire.
27 Nakita dagiti naguummong a gobernador ti probinsia, gobernador ti rehion ken dagiti dadduma a gobernador, ken dagiti mammagbaga ti ari dagitoy a lallaki. Saan a dinangran ti apuy dagiti bagida; saan a nasiraman dagiti buokda; saan a nadadael dagiti pagan-anayda; ken saanda nga agat-asuk.
And the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had had no power, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their hosen changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.
28 Kinuna ni Nebucadnesar, “Dayawentayo ti Dios da Sedrac, Mesac ken Abednego, a nangibaon iti mensaherona ken intedna ti mensahena kadagiti adipenna. Nagtalekda kenkuana idi saanda a tinungpal ti bilinko, ken inyawatda dagiti bagida ngem ti agdayaw wenno agpakleb iti siasinoman a dios malaksid iti Diosda.
Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and who changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God!
29 Ngarud, ibilinko a siasinoman a tao, nasion wenno pagsasao nga agsarita iti maibusor iti Dios da Sedrac, Mesac ken Abednego ket masapul a marangrangkay ken agbalin a gabsuon dagiti rugit dagiti balayda gapu ta awan iti sabali a dios a makabael a mangisalakan a kas iti daytoy.”
Therefore I make a decree, that in every people, nation, and language, he who shall speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and his house shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that is able to deliver after this sort.
30 Kalpasanna, impangato ti ari ti saad da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego iti probinsia ti Babilonia.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon.
