9 Zathi enkosini uNebhukhadineza, “Bayethe nkosi, mana njalo!
Ha gwara eze, bụ Nebukadneza, “Ka eze dị ndụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
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.”
Ugbu a, e nwere ụfọdụ ndị Juu, ndị aha ha bụ Shedrak, na Mishak na Abednego, ndị i mere ka ha bụrụ ndị na-elekọta ihe niile a na-eme eme nʼala Babilọn; ha aṅaghị ntị nʼiwu eze nyere, jụkwa ịkpọ isiala nye oyiyi a i ji ọlaedo kpụọ.”
13 Wazonda wadla inja uNebhukhadineza, wasebiza oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko. Yikho amadoda la alethwa phambi kwenkosi,
Nebukadneza nʼọnọdụ oke iwe nyere iwu ka a kpọta Shedrak, na Mishak, na Abednego. Ya mere, a kpọbatara ndị ikom a nʼihu eze,
14 uNebhukhadineza wathi kubo, “Kuliqiniso yini, Shadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko, ukuthi kalibakhonzi onkulunkulu bami njalo kalisikhonzi isithombe segolide engisimisileyo?
Nebukadneza sịrị ha, “Ọ bụ eziokwu, Shedrak, na Mishak, na Abednego, na unu adịghị efe chi m maọbụ kpọọ isiala nye oyiyi ọlaedo ahụ m guzobere?
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?”
Mgbe unu nụrụ ụda opi, ọja, une na ụbọ akwara maọbụ ihe egwu ọzọ, ọ bụrụ na unu adaa nʼala kpọọ isiala nye oyiyi ahụ a kpụrụ akpụ, ihe niile ga-adị mma. Kama ọ bụrụ na unu ajụ ịkpọ isiala, a ga-atụnye unu ngwangwa nʼime ọkụ na-enwu ajọ onwunwu. Kedụ chi ahụ nke pụrụ ịnapụta unu site nʼaka m?”
16 OShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko bayiphendula inkosi bathi, “Nkosi Nebhukhadineza, kasidingi kuzilwela phambi kwakho ngale indaba.
Shedrak, na Mishak, na Abednego, gwara eze, “O Nebukadneza, ọ dịghị mkpa na anyị ga-azara ọnụ anyị nʼihu gị banyere okwu a.
17 Singaphoselwa esithandweni somlilo olavuzayo, uNkulunkulu esimkhonzayo ulamandla okusisindisa kuwo, njalo uzasilamulela esandleni sakho, wena nkosi.
Ọ bụrụ Chineke anyị na-efe nwere ike ịzọpụta anyị site nʼọkụ na-enwusi ike nʼaka gị, ya zọpụta anyị.
18 Loba engasisindisi, sithanda ukuba ukwazi, wena nkosi, ukuthi sivele kasisoze sibakhonze onkulunkulu bakho kumbe sisidumise isifanekiso segolide leso osimisileyo.”
Ma ọ bụrụkwa na ọ zọpụtaghị anyị, mata nke ọma, o eze, na anyị agaghị efe chi gị ndị a maọbụ kpọọ isiala nye oyiyi a ị kpụrụ akpụ nke ị guzobere.”
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
Mgbe ahụ, Nebukadneza jupụtara nʼoke iwe megide Shedrak, na Mishak, na Abednego, nke bụ nʼihu ya gbarụrụ nʼebe ha nọ. O nyere iwu sị ka e mee ụlọ ọkụ ahụ ka ọ dị ọkụ ugboro asaa karịa ka o kwesiri.
20 waphinda walaya ukuthi abanye bamabutho angobambapheqe bempi yakhe bababophe oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko babaphosele esithandweni somlilo olavuzayo.
Ọ nyere ụfọdụ ndị kacha sie ike nʼetiti ndị agha ya iwu ka e kee Shedrak, na Mishak, na Abednego eriri nʼụkwụ na aka, tụbakwa ha nʼọkụ ahụ na-enwu enwu.
21 Yikho amadoda la abotshwa elokhu egqoke amajazi awo, lamabhulugwe, amaqhiye kanye lezinye izigqoko zawo, aphoselwa esithandweni somlilo ovuthayo.
Ya mere, ha kere ndị ikom ahụ agbụ ebe ha ka yi uwe ụkwụ ha, na akwa nkụkụ isi ha, na uwe mwụda ha, na uwe ha niile, tụba ha nʼetiti ọkụ ahụ na-enwu ajọ onwunwu.
22 Umlayo wenkosi wawuthukuthele kakhulu lesithando somlilo sitshisa okokuthi amalangabi omlilo awabulala amanxusa ayefuqela oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko,
Ebe ọ bụ nʼokwu eze dị ọkụ ọkụ, tinyere na ọkụ ahụ na-enwusi ike, o mere ka ire ọkụ regbuo ndị agha ahụ tụbara Shedrak, na Mishak, na Abednego.
23 kwathi amadoda la womathathu ayebotshwe nko awela phakathi kwesithando somlilo olavuzayo.
Ya mere, Shedrak, na Mishak, na Abednego ndị e kesịrị agbụ ike, dabara nʼime ọkụ ahụ na-enwusi ike.
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.”
Nʼọnọdụ iju anya, Eze Nebukadneza wuliri nʼụkwụ ya, jụọ ndị ndụmọdụ sị, “Ọ bụghị ndị ikom atọ anyị kere agbụ ka anyị tụbara nʼime ọkụ?” Ha zara eze, “Ọ bụ ezie, eze.”
25 Wathi, “Khangelani! Ngibona amadoda amane ehambahamba phakathi komlilo, engabotshwanga njalo engalinyazwanga lutho, njalo owesine lowo ukhangeleka njengendodana yabonkulunkulu.”
Ọ sịrị, “Ma ana m ahụ mmadụ anọ ndị a na-ekeghị agbụ, ka ha na-agagharị nʼime ọkụ ahụ. Leekwa na ọkụ ahụ anaghị ere ha. Onye ahụ mere ha mmadụ anọ yiri nwa nke ndị bụ chi.”
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,
Mgbe ahụ Nebukadneza, bịara nso nʼọnụ ụzọ oke ọkụ ahụ sị, “Shedrak, Mishak na Abednego, ndị ohu Chineke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, pụtanụ! Bịanụ nʼebe a!” Ya mere, Shedrak, Mishak na Abednego, sitere nʼoke ọkụ ahụ pụta.
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.
Ụmụ ndị eze niile, ndịisi niile, ndị ahụ niile na-achị achị na ndị ndụmọdụ eze niile, zukọtara gburugburu ndị ikom atọ ahụ, ha hụkwara na ọkụ emerụghị ha ahụ, na o rechapụghịkwa agịrị isi dị ha nʼisi, uwe ha ereghịkwa ọkụ, isisi anwụrụ ọkụ adịghịkwa nʼahụ ha.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Nebukadneza sịrị, “Otuto dịrị Chineke nke Shedrak, Mishak na Abednego nʼihi na o zitere mmụọ ozi ya ịzọpụta ndị ohu ya tụkwasịrị ya obi, mgbe ha jụrụ ime ihe eze nyere nʼiwu, kama ha jiri aka ha họrọ ịnwụ, kama ife chi ọzọ nke na-abụghị Chineke nke ha.
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.”
Ya mere, ana m enye iwu a taa, na-asị na onye ọbụla, maọbụ mba ọbụla, maọbụ asụsụ ọbụla, onye kwuru okwu ọjọọ megide Chineke Shedrak, Mishak na Abednego, a ga-etikpọkwa ụlọ onye ahụ, mee ka ọ ghọọ mkpọmkpọ ebe. Nʼihi na o nweghị chi ọzọ nke pụrụ ịzọpụta nʼụzọ dị otu a.”
30 Inkosi yase ibanika izikhundla eziphezulu oShadreki, loMeshaki lo-Abhediniko elizweni laseBhabhiloni.
Mgbe ahụ, eze nyere Shedrak, Mishak na Abednego ọkwa ọzọ dị elu karịa nke ha nwere na mbụ nʼala Babilọn.
