Taneo 3
1 Kini ne' Nebukatnesa'ma vahe amema'a golireti tro hu'neana zaza'amo'a 27ni'a mita higeno, kahesa'amo'a 3'a mita hu'neankino ana amema'a Babiloni mopafina Durae nehaza agupofi retru rente'ne.
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.
2 Ana huteno ana vahe amema'ama erinte ama hu zupama vahe'ma esazegu'ma kini ne'mo'ma kema hu'neana, ugota kva vahe'ma, kiapu vahe'ma, gavana vahe'ma, antahintahima nemiza vahe'ma, kanisolo vahe'ma, zagoma kegavama nehaza vahe'ma, keagama refko nehaza vahe'ene ana vahe'ma zamaza nehaza vahe'ene maka kamani eri'zama eneriza vahe'enena zamagi hu'ne.
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.
3 Ana hutege'za ugota kva vahe'ma, kiapu vahe'ma, gavana vahe'ma, antahintahima nemiza vahe'ma, kanisolo vahe'ma, zagoma kegavama nehaza vahe'ma, keagama refko nehaza vahe'ene ana vahe'ma zamazama nehaza vahe'ene maka kamani eri'zama eneriza vahe'enena, Nebukatnesama ana vahe amema'ama erinte ama'ma hunaku'ma hianknarera emeri atru hute'za ana amema'amofo avuga oti'naze.
When they all arrived, they all stood in front of that statue.
4 Anama hutazageno'a kezamanetia vahe'mo'a otino, ranke huno amanage hu'ne. Kokankokati'ma e'naza vahe'ma, ru vahe ru vahepinti'ma e'naza vahe'ma ruzamageru ruzamageru'ma neraza vahe'motanena amama hanua nanekea antahita amage anteho.
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!
5 Hagi tamagrama antahisageno, ufema nere'za, hapue nehaza zavenane laerie nehaza zavenama nehe'za, konkema nere'za, mago'a zavenanema nehesagetama nentahisanuta, tamarena nereta kepri huta, kini ne' Nebukatnesa'ma golireti'ma tro'ma hunte'nea vahe amema'arera monora hunteho.
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.
6 Hanki iza'o ana vahe amema'are'ma kepri huno renareno mono'ma huontesnia vahera, ame huta zamazerita hagana haganama huno tusi tevema nerea kerifi zamasgafe atregahune.
Anyone who refuses to do that will be thrown into a blazing furnace!”
7 Anagema hutege'za maka vahe'ene, kokankokati'ma e'naza vahe'ene, ru zamageru ru zamageru'ma neraza vahe'mo'za ufema, konkema, laeri zavenama, hapu zavenane mago'a zavenaramima nehage'zama nentahi'za kini ne' Nebukatnesa'ma golire vahe amema'ama tro'ma hu'nea zante zamarena re'za monora hunte'naze.
So when all those people who had gathered heard the sounds made by the musical instruments, they all bowed down to worship the statue.
8 Hianagi mago'a Babiloni vahe'mo'za kini nete e'za, Juda naga'mozama haza zamavu'zamava zanku kini nera eme asami'naze.
But some of the men who studied the stars went to the king.
9 Kini ne' Nebukatnesana amanage hu'za asami'naze. Kini ne'moka, za'zate kinia maninka vugahane!
They reported to him, “We hope that you, O king, will live a long time!
10 Kini nemoka kagra mago kasegea amanage hunka huvempa hu'nane. Ufene, konkene, laeri zavenane, hapu zavenane mago'a zavenaramima nehesnage'zama nentahisu'za, maka vahe'mo'za mopafi kepri hu'za zamarena nere'za, golireti'ma tro'ma hunte vahe amema'a monora huntegahaze hunka hu'nane.
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.
11 Anage nehunka iza'o ana vahe amema'are'ma renama nereno, kepri huno mono'ma huontesnia vahera azeri'na hagana haganama huno tusi tevema nerea kerifi asagafe atregahue hunka hu'nane.
You also decreed that those who refused to do that would be thrown into a blazing furnace.
12 Hianagi 3'a Jiu nagara, Setrakima, Misakima, Abetnegoma hunka huhampari zamantanke'zama, Babiloni mopafima kvama mani'naza naga'mo'za, kini nemoka kagri kea ontahi'za, kagrama amage'ma nentana anumzantamina monora hunonte'za, golireti vahe amema'ama tro'ma hunka retruma rente'nana zante'enena monora huonte'naze.
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.”
13 Ana nanekema Nebukatnesa'ma nentahigeno'a tusi arimpa ahegeno, mago'a vahe huzmantege'za vu'za, Setrakima, Mesakima, Abetnegoma hu'za ome zamavare'za agri avuga e'naze.
Nebuchadnezzar became very angry. He commanded [his soldiers] to bring in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. When they were brought to him,
14 Azageno Nebukatnesa'a amanage huno ana nagara zamantahige'ne. Setrakigane, Mesakigane Abetnegogata, nagri anumzaraminte'ene, golireti'ma vahe amema'ama tro'ma hu'na retruma rente'noa zantera monora huonte'nazema hu'za nehazana, e'i tamage nehazo?
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?
15 Hanki menina tamagrama antahisanage'zama ufema nere'za hapue nehaza zavenane, lairie nehaza zavenama nehe'za, konkema nere'za, mago'a zavenanema nehesnagetama nentahisanuta, kepri huta tamagra tamarena nereta, golireti'ma vahe amema'ama tro'ma hunte'noa zantera monora hunte so'e hiho. Hagi ana zante'ma mono'ma huontesnage'na, hanuge'za tamagrira tamazeri'za hagana hagana'ma huno tusi tevema nerea kerifi tamasga fetregahaze. Anama hanage'na ina anumzamo nagri nazampintira tamagrira tamagu vazino ana tevenefake kerifintira tamaza hugahifi tamagegahue?
[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]
16 Anagema hige'za Setraki'ma, Mesaki'ma, Abetnego'za kini ne' Nebukatnesana amanage hu'za asami'naze. Kini ne'moka kagrama hana nanekerera mago kea huta tagra tagura ovazigahune.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, “Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend our [actions] to you in this matter.
17 Hagi kagrama hagana hagana'ma huno'ma tusi tevema nerea kerifima tagri'ma tasagafe atresnankeno'a, tagrama amage'ma nentona Anumzamo'a taza huno ana tevefintira tavrenetreno, kini ne'moka kazampintira tagu'vazino taza hugahie.
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.
18 Hianagi tagrama amage'ma nentona Anumzamo'ma tazama osaniana, e'i ana zankure huta kagri anumzaraminte'ene vahe amema'ama golireti'ma tro'ma hunka retruma rente'nana zante'enena kepri huta monora huontegahune.
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.”
19 Hagi Setraki'ma, Mesaki'ma, Abetnego'za anagema hazageno'a, Nebukatnesana tusi arimpa ahegeno avugosamo'a rugrari'ne. Anama higeno'a huzmantege'za hagana hagana'ma huno tusi tevema nerea tevea mago'ene hugrazageno 7'ni'a zupa amuhoa huno, ko'ma amuhoma nehia avamena agatereno tusi amuho hu'ne.
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.
20 Ana hutazageno Setrakima, Mesakima, Abetnegonena ome zamazeriza nofiteti anakite'za, hagana hagana'ma huno tusi tevema nerea kerifi zamasgafe atrehogu hankavenentake sondia vahe'a huzmante'ne.
[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.
21 Anagema hige'za ana 3'a nagara zamazeri'za, zaza kukenane, nakre kuzmine, kankri zamine mago'a kukenazminena zamavate maka me'nege'za nofiteti anakite'za, hagana hagana'ma huno tusi tevema nerea kerifi zamasgafe tre'naze.
So [the soldiers] tied them up and threw them into the furnace, while they were wearing their clothes.
22 Kini nemo'ma huzmantege'za tevema mago'ene hugrazageno tusi amuhoma nehuno hagana hagana'ma nehifi, Setrakima Mesakima Abetnegoma hu'za zamasga fetre'naze. Hianagi anama zamasga fetraza sondia vahera hagana hagana'ma huno nerea tevemo terasagege'za fri'naze.
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!
23 Hagi Setrakima, Mesakima, Abetnegonema nofi'ma anakite'za hagana hagana'ma huno tusi tevema nerea kerifi zamasgafe atre'naza nofimo'a, me'nege'za ana tevemofo agu'afina mani'naze.
So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego fell into the roaring flames.
24 Anama hutazageno'a, kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a ana naga'ma nezamageno, antri huno o'netino antahintahima nemiza vahera amanage huno zamantahige'ne. Tagra 3'a vahe nofitetira anakiteta tevefina zamasga fetre'nompi? Anagema hige'za zamagra kenona hu'za, i'zo 3'a naga'mokizmi anara hu'none.
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].”
25 Hagi Nebukatnesa'a huno, Menima koana anakima zamante'nona nofimo'a zamagafina omanege'za, 4'a vahe ana tevemofo agu'afina mani'neza, mago hazenkea zamavufagarera omaneaza vano nehaze. Hagi nampa 4 ne'ma ke'noa ne'mofo avu'avamo'a, anumzamofo mofavregna hu'ne.
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!”
26 Anagema higeno'a anante Nebukatnesa'a anama hagana hagana'ma nehia tevemofo kafante urava'o nehuno, amanage huno kezati'ne. Setrakigane Mesakigane Abetnegogata, Marerisa Anumzamofo eri'za vahe mani'nazanki, tevefintira atreta atiramita amare eho. Anagema hige'za Setraki'ma Mesaki'ma Abetnego'ma hu'za ana tevefintira atirami'za e'naze.
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.
27 Anante ugota kva vahe'ma, kiapu vahe'ma, kini ne'mofoma antahintahima nemiza vahe'ma, gavana vahe'ma hu'za ana naga'mokizmire erava'oma hu'za kazana, tevemo'a zamavufaga oregeno, zamaseni zamazokara teorasagegeno, zaza kukena zamia tevemo'a tevararo'vararura osigeno, tevemofo mna'anena zamavufaga regatira ontahi'naze!
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!
28 Anante kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a amanage huno hu'ne. Setrakima, Mesakima, Abetnegokizmi Anumzamo'a ankero'ama huntegeno eno eri'za naga'ama zamagu'ma vazia zankura, Agri agia ahentesga hanune. Na'ankure zamagra agrite zamentintia nehu'za, fri'zankura antahi amane hu'naze. Ana nehu'za nagrama ante'noa kasegegura koro nosu'za, ru anumzantera monora hunonte'za, zamagra'a Anumzanteke monora hunte'naze.
[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.
29 E'ina hu'negu menina mago kasege ante'na huvempa huankino, mago nagamo'o, mago kumate vahe'mo'o, ru zamageru ru zamageru'ma neranaza vahemo'zanema, Setrakima, Mesakima, Abetnego Anumzamofoma huhavizama huntesnaza vahera, zamahe'za zamavufaga rutragatragu hutresnage'za frigahaze. Ana nehanage'za nozaminena tagana taganu vazi'za mopafi eri hihi hugahaze. Na'ankure mago anumzamo'a zamagri Anumzamo'ma hiazana huno, amage'ma nentesnia vahera agura ovazigahie.
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!’”
30 Hagi kini ne' Nebukatnesa'ma anagema huteno'a, Setrakima, Mesakima, Abetnegoma huno kasefa eri'za zamige'za, koma eri'naza eri'zana rugatere'za, Babiloni mopamofo agu'afina eri'zana eri'naze.
Then the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego more important positions in Babylon province than they had before.
