< 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 whose breadth was 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.
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 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, 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 Ket sipipigsa nga impukkaw ti agipakpakdaar, “Bilbilinenkayo, dakayo a tattao, dagiti nasion, ken pagsasao,
Then a herald cried aloud: To you it is commanded, O people, 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 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 Siasinoman a saan nga agkurno ken agdayaw iti dayta a kanito, ket maitappuak iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno.”
And whoso doth not fall down and worship shall the 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 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 Ita iti daytoy a tiempo, adda sumagmamano a Caldeo nga immay ket pinabasolda dagiti Judio.
Wherefore at that time certain Chaldaeans came near, and accused the Jews.
9 Kinunada kenni Nebucadnesar nga ari, “O Ari, agbiagka iti agnanayon!”
They spake and said to King Nebuchadnezzar, O 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.
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 Siasinoman a saan nga agkurno ken agdayaw ket masapul a maitappuak iti gumilgil-ayab nga urno.
and that whoso 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.”
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 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 Abednego. Then they brought these men 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 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 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 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 Simmungbat iti ari da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego, “O Nebucadnesar, saanen a kasapulan a sungbatandaka maipapan iti daytoy a banag.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego 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.
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 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 to thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which 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 Abednego. And he spake 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 mightiest men in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to 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 trousers, their under-garments, their mantles, and their other clothing, 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.
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 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 Abednego, 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 Kalpasanna, impangato ti ari ti saad da Sedrac, Mesac, ken Abednego iti probinsia ti Babilonia.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
