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.
King Nebuchadnezzar had a gold statue made that was sixty cubits tall and six cubits wide. He had it set up on 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.
Then he summoned the provincial governors, prefects, local governors, counselors, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the statue he 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.
They all came to the dedication of the statue Nebuchadnezzar had set up and stood in front of it.
4 Ket sipipigsa nga impukkaw ti agipakpakdaar, “Bilbilinenkayo, dakayo a tattao, dagiti nasion, ken pagsasao,
Then a herald announced in a loud voice, “People of all nations and languages, pay attention to the king's command!
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.
As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of musical instruments, you must fall to the ground and worship the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
6 Siasinoman a saan nga agkurno ken agdayaw iti dayta a kanito, ket maitappuak iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno.”
Anyone who doesn't immediately fall down and worship will be thrown into a furnace of blazing fire.”
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.
So when all the people heard the sound of the musical instruments they all fell down—the people of all nations and languages worshiped the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
8 Ita iti daytoy a tiempo, adda sumagmamano a Caldeo nga immay ket pinabasolda dagiti Judio.
Right then some of the astrologers came forward and made accusations against the Jews.
9 Kinunada kenni Nebucadnesar nga ari, “O Ari, agbiagka iti agnanayon!”
They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “May Your Majesty the king live forever!
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.
Your Majesty has decreed that everyone who hears the sound of the musical instruments shall fall down and worship the gold statue,
11 Siasinoman a saan nga agkurno ken agdayaw ket masapul a maitappuak iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno.
and that anyone who does not shall be thrown into a furnace of blazing fire.
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.”
But there are some Jews that you placed in charge of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—who pay no attention to Your Majesty's decree. They do not serve your gods and will not worship the gold statue you 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.
This made Nebuchadnezzar absolutely furious. “Bring me Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego!” he demanded. So they were 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?
“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, are you deliberately refusing to serve my gods and worship the gold statue I set up?” asked the king.
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?”
“Are you ready now to fall down and worship the statue I had made when you hear the sound of the musical instruments? If you don't, you will be immediately thrown into the furnace of blazing fire, and there's no god who can save you from my power!”
16 Simmungbat iti ari da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego, “O Nebucadnesar, saanen a kasapulan a sungbatandaka maipapan iti daytoy a banag.
“King Nebuchadnezzar, we don't need to defend ourselves before you over this,” Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied.
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 our God whom we serve so wishes, he is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire. He will save us from your power, Your Majesty.
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 even if he does not, Your Majesty needs to know that we would never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have 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.
This made Nebuchadnezzar so angry with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that his face twisted in rage. “Make the furnace seven times hotter than normal!” he ordered.
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.
Then he commanded some of his strongest soldiers, “Tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the furnace of blazing fire!”
21 Rineppetda ida a sikakawes, sikakagay, nakaturban ken amin nga adda iti bagida ket naitappuakda iti umap-apuy nga horno.
So they were tied up, fully dressed in their coats, trousers, turbans, and other clothes, and thrown into the furnace of blazing fire.
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.
Because the king's command was so harsh in making the furnace so extremely hot, the flames killed the soldiers who threw them in.
23 Nareppet a naitappuak dagitoy tallo a lallaki a ni Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, still tied up, fell into the furnace of blazing fire.
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 King Nebuchadnezzar suddenly jumped up in amazement. “Didn't we throw three men tied up into the furnace?” he asked his advisors. “Yes, that's right, Your Majesty,” they replied.
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.”
“Look!” he cried out. “How is it that I can see four men, not tied up, walking around in the fire and not being burned? And the fourth one looks like a 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.
Nebuchadnezzar went towards the door of the furnace of blazing fire. “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” he shouted. So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out 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.
The provincial governors, prefects, local governors, and the king's advisors gathered around them and saw that the fire had not harmed them. Their hair wasn't singed, their clothes weren't scorched—there wasn't even the smell of smoke!
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.
Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel and he rescued his servants who trusted in him! They disobeyed my royal command, putting their lives on the line, and refused to worship any other gods except their 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.”
Consequently I am issuing a decree that if anyone of any nation or language speaks disrespectfully about the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego they will be torn to pieces and their houses will be destroyed. There is no other God who is able to save like this!”
30 Kalpasanna, impangato ti ari ti saad da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego iti probinsia ti Babilonia.
Then Nebuchadnezzar promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, giving them even greater responsibilities in the province of Babylon.
