Daniel 3
1 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.
Na rĩrĩ, Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru nĩathondekithirie mũhianano wa thahabu, wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ kũraiha na igũrũ, na mĩkono ĩtandatũ kwarama, na akĩũhaandithia werũ-inĩ wa Dura kũu bũrũri wa Babuloni.
2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Nebukadinezaru agĩcooka agĩĩta anene, na anyabara, na abarũthi, na ataari a mũthamaki, na aigi kĩgĩĩna, na aciirithania, na mawakiri, na anene a mabũrũri make mothe moke kĩamũro-inĩ gĩa kwamũra mũhianano ũcio aahandithĩtie.
3 Then the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, 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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, anene, na anyabara, na abarũthi, na ataari a mũthamaki, na aigi kĩgĩĩna, na aciirithania, na mawakiri, na anene othe a mabũrũri makĩgomana nĩ ũndũ wa kwamũra mũhianano ũcio Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru aahaandithĩtie, nao makĩrũgama mbere yaguo.
4 Then the herald cried aloud, “To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,
Nake mũhuhi coro akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ andũ a iruka ciothe na a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, na a mĩario yothe ta thikĩrĩriai ũrĩa mũthamaki aathanĩte mwĩke.
5 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.
Rĩrĩa mũrĩigua mũgambo wa coro, na mĩtũrirũ, na thethe, na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, na mĩtũrirũ ĩrĩa mĩariĩ, o hamwe na ũini wa mĩthemba yothe-rĩ, o rĩmwe mwĩgũithie thĩ mũhooe mũhianano ũcio wa thahabu ũrĩa Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru aahaandithĩtie.
6 Whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace the same hour.”
Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũtekwĩgũithia thĩ na ahooe, o hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩegũikio icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki ũgwakana mũno.”
7 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 worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩrĩa andũ acio maiguire mũgambo wa coro, na mĩtũrirũ, na thethe, na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, na ũini wa mĩthemba yothe, andũ othe, na ndũrĩrĩ, na andũ a mĩario yothe makĩĩgũithia thĩ, makĩhooya mũhianano ũcio wa thahabu ũrĩa Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru aahaandithĩtie.
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near and brought accusation against the Jews.
Ihinda o rĩu arori a njata amwe makĩyumĩria, magĩcuuka Ayahudi,
9 They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for ever!
makĩĩra Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru atĩrĩ, “Wee mũthamaki ũrotũũra tene na tene!
10 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;
Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũthamaki nĩũrutĩte uuge waku, ũkoiga atĩ rĩrĩa mũndũ o wothe akaigua mũgambo wa coro, na mĩtũrirũ, na thethe, na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, na mĩtũrirũ ĩrĩa mĩariĩ, na ũini wa mĩthemba yothe no nginya egũithie thĩ, ahooe mũhianano ũcio wa thahabu,
11 and whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.
na ũkoiga atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũtekwĩgũithia thĩ aũhooe, nĩagaikio icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki ũgwakana mũno.
12 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.”
No rĩrĩ, nĩ harĩ Ayahudi amwe arĩa wee ũigĩte a kũrora maũndũ ma bũrũri wa Babuloni, na nĩo Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, arĩa matakũiguaga, wee mũthamaki. Matitungatagĩra ngai ciaku, kana makahooya mũhianano wa thahabu ũcio ũhandithĩtie.”
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men were brought before the king.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Nebukadinezaru agĩcinwo nĩ marakara, nake agĩtũmanĩra Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego mareehwo harĩ we. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio makĩreehwo mbere ya mũthamaki,
14 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?
nake Nebukadinezaru akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũhoro wa ma wee Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, atĩ mũtitungatagĩra ngai ciakwa, o na kana mũkahooya mũhianano wa thahabu ũcio handithĩtie?
15 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?”
Rĩu-rĩ, mũngĩĩhaarĩria nĩgeetha rĩrĩa mũrĩigua mũgambo wa coro, na mĩtũrirũ, na thethe, na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, na mĩtũrirũ ĩrĩa mĩariĩ, na ũini wa mĩthemba yothe, mwĩgũithie thĩ, mũhooe mũhianano ũcio niĩ thondekithĩtie, nĩ wega mũno. No rĩrĩ, mũngĩrega kũhooya mũhianano ũcio-rĩ, nĩmũgũikio o ro rĩmwe icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki ũgwakana mũno. Na rĩrĩ, hihi nĩ ngai ĩrĩkũ ĩngĩhota kũmũhonokia kuuma guoko-inĩ gwakwa?”
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
Nao Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego magĩcookeria mũthamaki, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee Nebukadinezaru, ithuĩ tũtibataire kwĩyarĩrĩria tũrĩ mbere yaku igũrũ rĩa ũhoro ũyũ.
17 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.
Tũngĩikio icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki ũgwakana mũno-rĩ, Ngai ũrĩa ithuĩ tũtungataga e na ũhoti wa gũtũruta thĩinĩ warĩo, na nĩwe ũgũtũhonokia kuuma guoko-inĩ gwaku, wee mũthamaki.
18 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.”
No rĩrĩ, o na angĩaga gũtũhonokia-rĩ, nĩtũkwenda ũmenye, wee mũthamaki, atĩ ithuĩ tũtingĩtungatĩra ngai ciaku, kana tũhooe mũhianano wa thahabu ũcio wee ũhandithĩtie.”
19 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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Nebukadinezaru akĩrakara mũno nĩ ũndũ wa Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, na agĩtukia gĩthiithi nĩ ũndũ wao. Agĩcooka agĩathana, akiuga icua rĩu rĩongererwo ngũ nĩguo rĩhiũhe maita mũgwanja ma ũrĩa rĩakoragwo rĩhiũhĩte.
20 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.
Nebukadinezaru agĩatha thigari imwe iria ciarĩ na hinya mũno ita-inĩ rĩake ciohe Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, imaikie icua-inĩ rĩu rĩa mwaki wakanĩte mũno.
21 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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio, mehumbĩte kanjũ ciao, na thuruarĩ, na iremba, o na nguo icio ingĩ-rĩ, makĩohwo na magĩikio icua-inĩ rĩu rĩa mwaki wakanĩte mũno.
22 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.
Watho ũcio wa mũthamaki warĩ wa ihenya mũno, narĩo icua rĩkahiũha mũno, ũũ atĩ nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki ũcio cioragire thigari iria cianyiitĩte Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego,
23 These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
nao andũ acio atatũ, moohetwo makarũmio, makĩgũa icua-inĩ rĩu rĩa mwaki wakanĩte mũno.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished and rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counselors, “Didn’t we cast three men bound into the middle of the fire?” They answered the king, “True, O king.”
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru akĩgega, akĩrũgama na igũrũ o rĩmwe, akĩũria andũ arĩa maamũheaga kĩrĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ti andũ atatũ tuohire na twamaikia mwaki-inĩ?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩ ma ũguo nĩguo, mũthamaki.”
25 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.”
Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, ta rorai! Niĩ ndĩrona andũ ana magĩcangacanga mwaki-inĩ, matarĩ ohe kana makahutio nĩ mwaki, nake ũcio wa kana ahaana ta ũmwe wa ariũ a ngai.”
26 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.
Nebukadinezaru agĩkuhĩrĩria mũromo-inĩ wa icua rĩu rĩakanaga mwaki, akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, inyuĩ ndungata cia Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ Igũrũ-Mũno, umĩrai, mũũke haha!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego makiumĩra mwaki-inĩ ũcio,
27 The local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counselors, 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.
nao anene, na anyabara, na abarũthi, na arĩa maataaraga mũthamaki othe makĩmarigiicĩria, makĩĩonera atĩ mwaki ndwamekĩte ũũru mĩĩrĩ yao, kana rũcuĩrĩ rwa mĩtwe yao rũkahĩa, o na nguo iria mehumbĩte itiahĩte, na matianungaga mwaki o na atĩa.
28 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.
Nake Nebukadinezaru akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai wa Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego arogoocwo, ũrĩa ũtũmĩte mũraika wake, ateithũre ndungata ciake! Mamwĩhokire, magĩkararia watho wa mũthamaki, na nĩmekwĩhaarĩirie kũruta mĩoyo yao handũ ha gũtungatĩra kana kũhooya ngai ingĩ, tiga Ngai ũcio wao.
29 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.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩndaruta watho atĩ andũ a rũrĩrĩ o ruothe kana rwario arĩa makaaria ũndũ o wothe wa gũũkĩrĩra Ngai wa Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego magatinangio icunjĩ, na nyũmba ciao imomorwo ituĩke hĩba ya mahiga, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ ngai ĩngĩ ĩngĩhonokania na njĩra ĩno.”
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
Nake mũthamaki agĩtũũgĩria Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego kũu bũrũri wa Babuloni.
