Ame sia ame si mamlɔ anyi eye wòade ta agu o la, woadae ɖe kpodzo bibi la me enumake.”
7 Yikho, bonela ukuzwa ukukhala kophondo, lomfece, lomhlanga, lomhubhe, lechacho lemihlobo yonke yeziginci, bonke abantu, lezizwe labantu bezindimi zonke bathi mbo phansi bakhonza isithombe segolide inkosi uNebhukhadineza eyayisimisile.
Eya ta ne amewo nya se lãdzowo, dzewo, gakasaŋkuwo, saŋkuwo, evenɔwo ƒe dzewo kple saŋku ƒomevi vovovowo ƒe ɖiɖi ko la, amewo katã, dukɔwo me tɔwo kple gbe ɖe sia ɖe gblɔlawo mlɔa anyi eye wodea ta agu na sikalegba si Fia Nebukadnezar li.

Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, ɣletivimenunyala aɖewo va tso Yudatɔwo nu.
9 Zathi enkosini uNebhukhadineza, “Bayethe nkosi, mana njalo!
Wogblɔ na Fia Nebukadnezar be, “O fia, nɔ agbe tegbee.
10 Ukhuphile isimemezelo, wena nkosi, wathi wonke okuzwayo ukukhala kophondo, lomfece, lomhlanga, lomhubhe, lechacho lezindweba kanye lazozonke iziginci ezikhaliswayo kathi mbo phansi akhonze isithombe segolide,

12 Kodwa bakhona abanye amaJuda obabeke ukuphatha ilizwe laseBhabhiloni, uShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko, abangakhathali lutho ngawe, wena nkosi. Kababakhonzi onkulunkulu bakho njalo kabasikhonzi isithombe lesi osimisileyo.”
Ke Yudatɔ aɖewo li, ame siwo nètsɔ ɖo dziɖuɖu ƒe nyawo nu le Babilonia siwo nye Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego, ame siwo metsɔa ɖeke le eme na wò o. O fia, womesubɔa wò mawuwo o, eye womedea ta agu na sikalegba si nèli la o.”
13 Wazonda wadla inja uNebhukhadineza, wasebiza oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko. Yikho amadoda la alethwa phambi kwenkosi,
Nebukadnezar do dɔmedzoe ŋutɔ eye wòɖo du ɖe Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego. Ale wokplɔ ame siawo va fia la ŋkume.
14 uNebhukhadineza wathi kubo, “Kuliqiniso yini, Shadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko, ukuthi kalibakhonzi onkulunkulu bami njalo kalisikhonzi isithombe segolide engisimisileyo?
Fia la bia wo be, “Nyateƒe wònye, Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego, be miesubɔa nye mawuwo o eye miedea ta agu na sikalegba si meli la o mahã?
15 Manje nxa lingezwa ukukhala kophondo, lomfece, lomhlanga, lomhubhe, lechacho, lezindweba layo yonke imihlobo yezikhaliswayo, nxa selizimisele ukuthi mbo phansi lisikhonze isifanekiso engasenzayo, kulungile. Kodwa nxa lingasikhonzi lizaphoselwa ngokuphangisa esithandweni somlilo ovuthayo. Pho nguphi unkulunkulu ozalilamulela esandleni sami na?”
Azɔ la, ne miese lãdzokpẽwo, gakasaŋkuwo, kasaŋkuwo, saŋkuwo, evenɔwo ƒe kpẽwo kple hadzidzi ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe ɖiɖi eye miele klalo be yeawoatsyɔ mo anyi ade ta agu na sikalegba si meli la, ekema anyo ŋutɔ gake ne miede ta agu nɛ o la, woada mi ɖe kpodzo bibi la me enumake. Ekema mawu ka ate ŋu aɖe mi tso nye asi me?”
16 OShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko bayiphendula inkosi bathi, “Nkosi Nebhukhadineza, kasidingi kuzilwela phambi kwakho ngale indaba.
Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego ɖo eŋu na fia la be, “O fia, mehiã be míaʋli mía ɖokuiwo ta le wò ŋkume le nya sia me o.
17 Singaphoselwa esithandweni somlilo olavuzayo, uNkulunkulu esimkhonzayo ulamandla okusisindisa kuwo, njalo uzasilamulela esandleni sakho, wena nkosi.
Ne woda mí ɖo ɖe kpodzoa me la, Mawu si míesubɔna la ate ŋu aɖe mí tso eme eye wòaɖe mí tso wò asi me, O fia.
18 Loba engasisindisi, sithanda ukuba ukwazi, wena nkosi, ukuthi sivele kasisoze sibakhonze onkulunkulu bakho kumbe sisidumise isifanekiso segolide leso osimisileyo.”
Ke ne maɖe mí o hã la, míedi be nànya, O fia, be míasubɔ wò mawuwo loo alo ade ta agu na sikalegba si nèli la o.”
19 Lapho-ke uNebhukhadineza waphuphuma ngolaka kuShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko, wahle waguqula indlela aye esebaphatha ngayo. Walaya ukuthi isithando somlilo sibaselwe sitshise okuphindwe kasikhombisa kulenjayelo
Tete Nebukadnezar do dɔmedzoe vevie ɖe Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego ŋu eye eƒe nɔnɔme ɖe wo ŋu trɔ. Eɖe gbe be woado dzo ɖe kpodzo la me wòaxɔ dzo zi adre wu ale si wòxɔa dzoe tsã.
20 waphinda walaya ukuthi abanye bamabutho angobambapheqe bempi yakhe bababophe oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko babaphosele esithandweni somlilo olavuzayo.
Eɖe gbe na eƒe asrafo sesẽtɔwo le eƒe aʋakɔ me be woabla Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego eye woada wo ɖe kpodzo la me.
21 Yikho amadoda la abotshwa elokhu egqoke amajazi awo, lamabhulugwe, amaqhiye kanye lezinye izigqoko zawo, aphoselwa esithandweni somlilo ovuthayo.

22 Umlayo wenkosi wawuthukuthele kakhulu lesithando somlilo sitshisa okokuthi amalangabi omlilo awabulala amanxusa ayefuqela oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko,

Ke ame etɔ̃ siawo, ame siwo wobla sesĩe la, ge dze dzo bibi la me.
24 Khonapho inkosi uNebhukhadineza wathi lothu ngokumangala, wabuza abacebisi bakhe wathi, “Kanti angithi abemathathu amadoda esiwabophileyo sawaphosela emlilweni na?” Baphendula bathi, “Liqiniso lelo, Oh nkosi.”
Tete Fia Nebukadnezar ƒe nu ku. Etso kpla eye wòbia eƒe aɖaŋudelawo be, “Menye ame etɔ̃e nɔ afi ma, ame siwo míebla tsɔ ƒu gbe do ɖe kpodzoa me oa?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Nenemae, O fia.”
25 Wathi, “Khangelani! Ngibona amadoda amane ehambahamba phakathi komlilo, engabotshwanga njalo engalinyazwanga lutho, njalo owesine lowo ukhangeleka njengendodana yabonkulunkulu.”
Fia la gblɔ be, “Mikpɔ ɖa! Mekpɔ ame ene, wole tsa ɖim le dzo la me; womebla wo o, nuvevi aɖeke mewɔ wo hã o eye ame enelia ɖi mawuwo ƒe viŋutsuvi aɖe.”
26 UNebhukhadineza wasesondela emlonyeni wesithando somlilo olavuzayo wamemeza wathi, “Shadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko, zinceku zikaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, phumani! Wozani lapha!” Ngakho oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko baphuma emlilweni,
Tete Fia Nebukadnezar te ɖe kpodzo la ƒe ʋɔtru ŋu, eye wòdo ɣli be, “Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego, Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe subɔlawo, mido go. Miva afi sia!” Ale Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego do go le kpodzo la me
27 kwathi ababusi bezigaba, labalisa, lababusi bemikhono yelizwe labeluleki besikhosini bababunganyela. Babona ukuthi umlilo wawungabalimazanga imizimba yabo, njalo kungahaqazekanga lalunye unwele lwamakhanda abo; izembatho zabo zingahangulekanga, njalo kunganuki mlilo kubo.

28 UNebhukhadineza wasesithi, “Kadunyiswe uNkulunkulu kaShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko, othume ingilosi yakhe wasindisa izinceku zakhe! Bathemba kuye badelela umlayo wenkosi njalo bazimisela ukunikela impilo zabo kulokuthi bakhonze loba badumise omunye uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kowabo uNkulunkulu.
Tete Nebukadnezar gblɔ be, “Woakafu Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego ƒe Mawu, ame si ɖo eƒe mawudɔla ɖa eye wòɖe eƒe dɔlawo! Woxɔ edzi se eye wogbe fia la ƒe se dzi wɔwɔ, wolɔ̃ be yewoatsɔ yewoƒe agbewo ana wu be yewoasubɔ alo ade ta agu na mawu bubu negbe woawo ŋutɔ ƒe Mawu ko
29 Ngakho sengimisa isimemezelo ukuthi abantu loba ngabasiphi isizwe kumbe ulimi abakhuluma okubi ngoNkulunkulu kaShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko kabaqunywaqunywe izicucu, lezindlu zabo zenziwe izinqwaba zezibi, ngoba kakho omunye uNkulunkulu ongasindisa ngale indlela.”

30 Inkosi yase ibanika izikhundla eziphezulu oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko elizweni laseBhabhiloni.
Tete fia la do Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego ɖe ŋgɔ le Babilonia nutoa me.
