Daniel 3
1 Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el sap orekla ma sruloala gold se, fit eungoul fulata ac fit eu sralap, ac el sap tulokyak in acn tupasrpasr se pangpang Dura, apkuran nu ke siti Babylon.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
2 Na tokosra el sapkin mwet pwapa lal nukewa in fahsreni — mwet fisrak nukewa, governor nukewa, governor akluo nukewa, mwet kol lun kais sie kain in orekma, mwet liyaung mwe kasrup, mwet nununku, mwet pwapa fulat ke kais sie acn, ac mwet kol saya nukewa lun acn we. Elos in fahsreni ac wi kisaela ma sroloala se ma Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tulokunak ah.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
3 Ke mwet fulat inge nukewa fahsreni nu ke kisa sac, ac tu ye mutun ma sruloala sac,
Then the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
4 sie mwet in sulkakin pweng lun tokosra el fahk ke sie pusra lulap, “Kowos, mwet mutunfacl nukewa, su sramsram ke kain in kas nukewa!
Then the herald cried aloud, “To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,
5 Kowos ac fah lohng pusren mwe ukuk, ac toko pusren oboe, lyre, zither ac harp, ac oayapa kain mwe srital nukewa saya ac fah weang ma inge. Ke pacl se na mwe on inge ac kasla uh, kowos in pasrla ac alu nu ke ma sruloala gold se su Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tulokonak inge.
that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.
6 Kutena mwet su tia pasrla ac alu nu kac ac fah sisiyang nu in sie funyu in e firir uh.”
Whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace the same hour.”
7 Ouinge ke elos lohng pusren mwe on uh kasla, mwet in mutunfacl nukewa ac kain in kas nukewa elos pasrla ac alu nu ke ma sruloala gold se ma Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tulokunak ah.
Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, 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 In pacl sac, kutu sin mwet Babylonia elos konauk pacl wo lalos in akkolukye mwet Jew ah.
Therefore at that time certain Kasdim came near and brought accusation against the Jews.
9 Elos fahk ouinge nu sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar, “Lela in loes moul lun tokosra!
They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for ever!
10 Tokosra tuh sapkin mu pusren mwe on uh fin kasla, mwet nukewa in pasrla ac alu nu ke ma sruloala gold sac,
You, O king, have made a decree that every man who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music shall fall down and worship the golden image;
11 ac kutena mwet su tia pasrla ac alu nu kac ac fah sisiyang nu in sie funyu in e firir.
and whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Oasr kutu mwet Jew ma kom sang in karingin acn ma apkuran nu Babylon — Shadrach, Meshach ac Abednego — su tia akos sap lun tokosra. Elos tiana alu nu sin god lom uh, ku pasrla nu ke ma sroloala se kom tulokunak ah.”
There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not respected you. They don’t serve your gods, and don’t worship the golden image which you have set up.”
13 Ke elos fahk ouinge, tokosra el arulana kasrkusrakak ac sap in utuku mwet tolu ah nu ye mutal.
Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men were brought before the king.
14 Ac el fahk nu seltal, “Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, ya pwaye lah komtal srangesr alu nu sin god luk uh, ac tia pasrla nu ke ma sroloala se nga tulokunak ah?
Nebuchadnezzar answered them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you don’t serve my gods and you don’t worship the golden image which I have set up?
15 Komtal fin lohng pusren mwe ukuk, oboe, lyre, zither, harp, ac mwe on saya nukewa in kasla,’tal pasrla nu ke ma sroloala sac ac alu nu kac. Komtal fin tia, na ac sisiyang komtal nu ke funyu in e firir. Ku komtal nunku mu oasr god ac ku in molikomtalla?”
Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you don’t worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. Who is that god who will deliver you out of my hands?”
16 Na Shadrach, Meshach, ac Abednego topuk ac fahk nu sel, “O Tokosra, kut ac tia srike in fahk kutena kas in akwoye kut.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
17 God se su kut kulansap nu se uh fin ku in molikutla liki e firir ingan, ac liki ku lom, na El ac molikutla.
If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
18 Tusruktu El finne tia molikutla, lela in arulana kalem sin tokosra lah kut tia ku in alu su sin god lom an, ac kut ac fah tiana pasrla nu ke ma sruloala gold se ma kom tulokunak an.”
But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.”
19 Na Nebuchadnezzar el arulana rarak ke kasrkusrak, ac ngetang suilya Shadrach, Meshach ac Abednego. Na el sap mwet lal uh in tanak e uh in fol pacl itkosr yohk liki pacl nukewa.
Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the form of his appearance was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.
20 Ac el sap mwet ma ku oemeet sin mwet mweun lal in kapriya mwet tolu inge ac siselosyang nu in funyu in e firir sac.
He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Ouinge elos kaprelosi ke elos putena nuknuk, susu, ac ma nukewa, ac siselosyang nu in funyu sac.
Then these men were bound in their pants, their tunics, and their mantles, and their other clothes, and were cast into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Ac ke sripen tokosra el tuh sap in tayak e sac in arulana fol, oru e sac tuh esukak pac mwet ma us mwet tolu ah ac siselosyang nu ke e sac.
Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 Na Shadrach, Meshach, ac Abednego srakna kapir, ac sisiyang elos nu in fiten e sac.
These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
24 In kitin pacl ah na Nebuchadnezzar el atuyak ke lut ac fwefela lal. Ac el siyuk sin mwet pwapa lal, “Ku tia mwet tolu pa kut kapriya ac sisang nu in e sac ah?” Ac elos fahk, “Aok, pwaye.”
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished and rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counsellors, “Didn’t we cast three men bound into the middle of the fire?” They answered the king, “True, O king.”
25 Na el sifil siyuk, “Ac efu ku mwet akosr pa nga liye forfor in e se ingo? Eltal tiana kapir ac wanginna akilenya mu eltal fol — ac mwet se akakosr ingo oana luman lipufan se.”
He answered, “Look, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are unharmed. The appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”
26 Ouinge Nebuchadnezzar el fahsryang nwe ke mutun funyu firir sac, pangyak ac fahk, “Shadrach! Meshach! Abednego! Kowos su mwet kulansapu God Fulatlana, oatume!” Na elos tukenina oatui.
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the middle of the fire.
27 Mwet nukewa: fisrak, governor, governor akluo, ac mwet leum saya nukewa lal tokosra, elos fahsreni in liye mwet tolu ah, su tiana folla ke e sac. Aunsifalos ac nuknuk lalos tiana firiryak, ac elos tia pac fokulasrla ke e sac.
The local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies. The hair of their head wasn’t singed. Their pants weren’t changed. The smell of fire wasn’t even on them.
28 Na tokosra el fahk, “Kaksakin God lal Shadrach, Meshach, ac Abednego! El supwama lipufan lal ac molela mwet su orekma nu sel ac lulalfongel inge. Elos tuh pilesrala moul lalos ac tia akos ma sap luk ke sripen elos tia lungse epasr nu sin kutena god sayen God lalos sifacna.
Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god except their own God.
29 “Na inge, nga sapkin tuh mwet in kutena mutunfacl, ku kutena kain in kas, fin fahk kutena kas ma ac akkolukye God lal Shadrach, Meshach, ac Abednego, ac fah sreyuki manol ke kupasr nukewa kacl, ac lohm sel fah rakinyuki nwe ke oana sie yol in kutkut. Wangin siena god su ku in oru inkanek in molela ouinge.”
Therefore I make a decree that every people, nation, and language which speak anything evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill, because there is no other god who is able to deliver like this.”
30 Ac tokosra el sifilpa kulak wal lal Shadrach, Meshach, ac Abednego in acn Babylon.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
