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, the height thereof, sixty cubits, the breadth thereof, six cubits, —he set it up in the valley 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.
And, Nebuchadnezzar the king, sent to gather together the satraps, the nobles and the pashas, the chief judges, the treasurers, the judges, the lawyers, and all the rulers of the province, —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 were gathered together, the satraps, the nobles and the pashas, the chief judges, the treasurers, the judges, the lawyers, and all the rulers of the province, to the dedication of the image, which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up, —and they stood before the image, which 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!
And, the herald, proclaimed aloud, —To you, is given the word, O ye peoples, races, and tongues:
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.
At what time ye shall hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the harp, the psaltery, the bagpipes, and all kinds of instruments of music, ye shall fall down and adore the image of gold, which Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up;
6 Kutena mwet su tia pasrla ac alu nu kac ac fah sisiyang nu in sie funyu in e firir uh.”
and, whosoever shall not fall down and adore, shall, instantly, be cast into the burning furnace of fire.
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.
Wherefore, at the same time—when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the harp, the psaltery, and all kinds of instruments of music, they were falling down—even all the peoples, the races, and the tongues, —adoring the image of gold, which Nebuchadnezzar the king, had set up.
8 In pacl sac, kutu sin mwet Babylonia elos konauk pacl wo lalos in akkolukye mwet Jew ah.
Wherefore, at the same time, drew near certain Chaldeans, —and accused the Jews:
9 Elos fahk ouinge nu sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar, “Lela in loes moul lun tokosra!
they spake, and said, to Nebuchadnezzar the king: O king! for ages, live!
10 Tokosra tuh sapkin mu pusren mwe on uh fin kasla, mwet nukewa in pasrla ac alu nu ke ma sruloala gold sac,
Thou thyself, O king, hast made a decree, that, any man who shall hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the harp, the psaltery and the bagpipes, and all kinds of instruments of music, shall fall down and adore the image of gold;
11 ac kutena mwet su tia pasrla ac alu nu kac ac fah sisiyang nu in sie funyu in e firir.
and, whosoever shall not fall down and adore, shall be cast into the burning furnace of fire.
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 thou hast set over the business of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, —these men, have made thee, O king, of no account, thy god, they serve not, and, the image of gold which thou hast set up, do they not adore.
13 Ke elos fahk ouinge, tokosra el arulana kasrkusrakak ac sap in utuku mwet tolu ah nu ye mutal.
Then, Nebuchadnezzar—with anger and wrath, gave word to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, then, these men, brought they 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 spake and said unto them, Is it, with design, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, —that, my god, ye are not serving, and, the image which I have set up, are not adoring?
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 ye be ready, at what time ye shall hear the sound of the cornet, the pipe, the lyre, the harp, the psaltery and the bagpipes, and all the instruments of music, ye shall fall down and adore the image which I have made, but, if ye shall not adore, instantly, shall ye be cast into the midst of the burning furnace of fire, —and who is the god that shall 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 Abed-nego answered, and said to the king: O Nebuchadnezzar! we are not accounting it needful, concerning this, to answer thee.
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 is, our God, whom we serve, is able to deliver us, —out of the burning furnace of fire, and out of thy hand, O king, he will deliver.
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, be it known to thee, O king, —that, thy god, will we not serve, and, the image of gold which thou hast set up, will we not adore.
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 filled with wrath, and, the likeness of his countenance, was changed, against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, —he spake and gave word to heat the furnace seven times hotter than it was ever seen 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.
and, to men, who were the mightiest men in his army, gave he word to bind fast Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, —to cast them into the burning furnace of fire.
21 Ouinge elos kaprelosi ke elos putena nuknuk, susu, ac ma nukewa, ac siselosyang nu in funyu sac.
Then bound they, these men, in their trousers, their tunics, and their cloaks, and their (other) clothing, —and cast into the midst of the burning furnace of fire.
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 word of the king had raged forth, and the furnace was exceeding hot, those very men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, were slain by the flame of the fire;
23 Na Shadrach, Meshach, ac Abednego srakna kapir, ac sisiyang elos nu in fiten e sac.
and, these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down into the midst of the burning furnace of fire, fast bound.
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 amazed, and rose up in haste: he spake and said to his nearest friends—Were there not three men, we cast into the midst of the fire, fast bound? They answered and said to the king, Surely, 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 and said, Lo! I, see four men, unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and, injury, there is not in them, and, the appearance of the fourth, is like to 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 did Nebuchadnezzar, draw near, to the door of the burning furnace of fire, he spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the most high God, step forth and come hither. Then stepped forth Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, out of the midst 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.
And—being gathered together—the satraps, the nobles, and the pashas and near friends of the king, saw these men, over whose bodies the fire had, no power, nor was, a hair of their head, singed, neither were, their trousers, disfigured, —nor had, the smell of fire, come upon 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 spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his messenger, and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, —when, the word of the king, they transgressed, and delivered up their bodies, that they might not serve nor adore any god, saving 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 do I make a decree, that, whosoever of any people, race, or tongue it be that shall charge any error upon the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and, his house, into a dunghill, shall be changed; 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, advanced Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.
