1: Nebuchadnezzar the [G3588] king made [G4160] image [G1504] a gold [G5552]. Its height [G5311][G1473] -- cubits [G4083] sixty [G1835], its breadth [G1473] -- cubits [G4083] six [G1803], and [G2532] he stationed [G2476] it [G1473] in [G1722] plain of Dura, in [G1722] region [G5561] of Babylon.
2: And [G2532] he sent to gather together [G4863] the [G3588] supreme [leaders , and [G2532] the [G3588] commandants [G4755], and [G2532] the [G3588] toparchs , leaders [G2233], and [G2532] sovereigns [G5181], and [G2532] the [G3588] [ones] in [G1909] authorities [G1849], and [G2532] all [G3956] the [G3588] rulers of the [G3588] regions [G5561], to come [G2064] unto [G1519] the [G3588] holidays of dedication [G1456] of the [G3588] image [G1504] which [G3739] stationed [G2476] Nebuchadnezzar the [G3588] king .
3: And [G2532] gathered together [G4863] the [G3588] toparchs , supreme [leaders , commandants [G4755], leaders [G2233], sovereigns [G5181], great ones [G3173], the [G3588] [ones] in [G1909] authorities [G1849], and [G2532] all [G3956] the [G3588] rulers of the [G3588] regions [G5561], to [G1519] the [G3588] dedication of the [G3588] image [G1504] which [G3739] stationed [G2476] Nebuchadnezzar the [G3588] king . And [G2532] they stood [G2476] before [G1799] the [G3588] image [G1504] which [G3739] Nebuchadnezzar stationed [G2476].
4: And [G2532] the [G3588] herald [G2783] yelled in [G1722] strength [G2479], To you [G1473] it is spoken [G3004], O tradition-peoples (ethnics) '[G1484], peoples [G2992], tribes [G5443], languages [G1100],
5: in which [G3739] ever hour [G5610] you should hear a sound [G5456] of a trumpet [G4536], even flute [G5037], and [G2532] harp [G2788], even sambuke [G5037] and [G2532] psaltery , and [G2532] every [G3956] harmony of sound [G4858] of kinds [G1085] of music [G3451] -- falling [G4098], you will do obeisance [G4352] to the [G3588] image [G1504] of the [G3588] gold [G5552] which [G3739] stationed [G2476] Nebuchadnezzar the [G3588] king .
6: And [G2532] who [G3739] ever should not [G3361] fall [G4098] to do obeisance [G4352], in that same [G1473] the [G3588] hour [G5610] they will be put [G1685] into [G1519] the [G3588] furnace [G2575] of the [G3588] fire [G4442] the [G3588] burning [G2545].
7: And [G2532] it came to pass [G1096] when [G3753] heard the [G3588] peoples [G2992] the [G3588] sound [G5456] of the [G3588] trumpet [G4536], even flute [G5037] and [G2532] harp [G2788], even sambuke [G5037] and [G2532] psaltery , and [G2532] every [G3956] kind [G1085] of music [G3451], falling down [G4098] the [G3588] peoples [G2992], tribes [G5443], languages [G1100], did obeisance to [G4352] the [G3588] image [G1504] of the [G3588] gold [G5552] which [G3739] stationed [G2476] Nebuchadnezzar the [G3588] king .
8: Then [G5119] came forward [G4334] men Chaldean], and [G2532] they accused [G1225] the [G3588] Jews. And [G2532] undertaking [G5274], they said [G2036] Nebuchadnezzar to the [G3588] king ,
9: O king , into [G1519] the [G3588] ages (terms) ` live [G2198]!
10: You [G1473] O king established [G5087] a decree [G1378], Every [G3956] man who [G3739] ever should hear the [G3588] sound [G5456] of the [G3588] trumpet [G4536], even flute [G5037] and [G2532] harp [G2788], even sambuke [G5037] and [G2532] psaltery , and [G2532] harmony of sound [G4858], and [G2532] every [G3956] kind [G1085] of music [G3451],
11: and [G2532] should not [G3361] fall [G4098] to do obeisance to [G4352] the [G3588] image [G1504] the [G3588] in gold [G5552], will be put [G1685] into [G1519] the [G3588] furnace [G2575] of the [G3588] fire [G4442] the [G3588] burning [G2545].
12: There are men Jews whom [G3739] you placed [G2525] over [G1909] the [G3588] works [G2041] of the [G3588] region [G5561] of Babylon -- Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-nego. the [G3588]se men [G1565] obeyed not [G3756][G5219], O king , the [G3588] your decree [G1378][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] your gods '[G2316][G1473] they serve not [G3756][G3000], and [G2532] to the [G3588] image [G1504] of the [G3588] gold [G5552] which [G3739] you stationed [G2476] they do not [G3756] do obeisance to [G4352].
13: Then [G5119] Nebuchadnezzar in [G1722] rage [G2372] and [G2532] anger [G3709] said [G2036] to convey ' [in the [G3588] Shadrach, Meshach, and [G2532] Abed-nego. And [G2532] they conveyed ' [them] before [G1799] the [G3588] king .
14: And [G2532] Nebuchadnezzar responded and [G2532] said [G2036] to them [G1473], Is it [G1487] truly , Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-nego, to the [G3588] my gods '[G2316][G1473] you serve not [G3756][G3000], and [G2532] to the [G3588] image [G1504] the [G3588] in gold [G5552] which [G3739] I stationed [G2476], you do not [G3756] do obeisance to [G4352]?
15: Now [G3568] then [G3767] if [G1487] it suffices [G2192] readily [G2093] that [G2443] as [G5613] whenever you should hear the [G3588] sound [G5456] of the [G3588] trumpet [G4536], also flute [G5037] and [G2532] harp [G2788], also sambuke and [G2532] psaltery , and [G2532] harmony of sound [G4858], and [G2532] every [G3956] kind [G1085] of music [G3451], falling [G4098] you should do obeisance to [G4352] the [G3588] image [G1504] which [G3739] I made -- [good [G4160]. And if [G1437][G1161] you should not [G3361] do obeisance [G4352] tof him '[G1473] the [G3588] hour [G5610], you will be put [G1685] into [G1519] the [G3588] furnace [G2575] of the [G3588] fire [G4442] the [G3588] burning [G2545]; and [G2532] who [G5100] is God '[G2316] who [G3739] will rescue [G1807] you [G1473] from out of [G1537] the [G3588] my hands [G5495][G1473]?
16: And [G2532] answered Shadrach, Meshach, and [G2532] Abed-nego, saying [G3004] the [G3588] to king Nebuchadnezzar, no [G3756] need [G5532] have [G2192] We [G1473] concerning [G4012] the [G3588] this matter [G4487][G3778] to answer to you [G1473].
17: is For [G1063] God '[G2316] our [G1473] in [G1722] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772] in whom [G3739] we [G1473] serve [G3000] able [G1415] to rescue [G1807] us [G1473] from out of [G1537] the [G3588] furnace [G2575] of the [G3588] fire [G4442] the [G3588] burning [G2545]. And [G2532] from out of [G1537] the [G3588] your hands [G5495][G1473], O king , he will rescue [G4506] us [G1473].
18: But [G2532] if [G1437] not [G3361], made known [G1110] let it be to you [G1473], O king ! that [G3754] the [G3588] your gods '[G2316][G1473] we will not [G3756] serve [G3000], and [G2532] to the [G3588] image [G1504] the [G3588] golden [G5552] which [G3739] you stationed [G2476], we will not [G3756] do obeisance to [G4352].
19: Then [G5119] the [G3588] Nebuchadnezzar was filled [G4130] of rage [G2372], and [G2532] the [G3588] appearance [G3799] of the [G3588] his face [G4383][G1473] changed against [G1909] Shadrach, Meshach, and [G2532] Abed-nego. And [G2532] he said [G2036] to burn [G1572] the [G3588] furnace [G2575] seven-fold until [G2193] which [G3739] to [G1519] end [G5056] it should burn [G1572].
20: And [G2532] men strong [G2478] of strength [G2479] he told [G2036] shackling the [G3588] Shadrach, Meshach, and [G2532] Abed-nego, to cast [them [G1685] into [G1519] the [G3588] furnace [G2575] the [G3588] fire [G4442] the [G3588] burning [G2545].
21: Then [G5119] the [G3588] those men [G1565] were shackled with [G4862] the [G3588]ir pantaloons [G1473], and [G2532] tiaras , and [G2532] leggings , and [G2532] their garments [G1742][G1473]. And [G2532] they were thrown into [G1519] the [G3588] midst [G3319] of the [G3588] furnace [G2575] of the [G3588] fire [G4442] the [G3588] burning [G2545],
22: since [G1893] the [G3588] saying [G4487] of the [G3588] king excelled , and [G2532] the [G3588] furnace [G2575] burned away [G1572] over [G5228] even [G1537] extra [G4053] seven-fold .
23: And [G2532] the [G3588]se three [G5140][G3778] -- Shadrach, Meshach, and [G2532] Abed-nego, fell [G4098] into [G1519] midst [G3319] of the [G3588] furnace [G2575] of the [G3588] fire [G4442] the [G3588] burning [G2545], being shackled .
24: And [G2532] Nebuchadnezzar heard their praising [G5214][G1473]. And [G2532] he wondered [G2296], and [G2532] rose up [G1817] in [G1722] haste [G4710], and [G2532] said [G2036] [to the [G3588] his great men [G3175][G1473], [Was it] not [G3756] men three [G5140] we threw into [G1519] the [G3588] midst [G3319] of the [G3588] fire [G4442] being shackled ? And [G2532] they said [G2036] to the [G3588] king , Truly , O king .
25: And [G2532] said [G2036] the [G3588] king , Here [G5602], I [G1473] see [G3708] men four [G5064] being loose [G3089] and [G2532] walking [G4043] in [G1722] midst [G3319] of the [G3588] fire [G4442], and [G2532] no corruption [G1312][G3756] there is to [G1722] them [G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] vision [G3706] of the [G3588] fourth [G5067] [is] likened [G3664] to son [G5207] of God '[G2316].
26: Then [G5119] Nebuchadnezzar came forward [G4334] to [G4314] the [G3588] door [G2374] of the [G3588] furnace [G2575] of the [G3588] fire [G4442] the [G3588] burning [G2545], and [G2532] he said [G2036], Shadrach, Meshach, and [G2532] Abed-nego, O the [G3588] servants [G1401] of the [G3588] God '[G2316] the [G3588] highest [G5310], come forth [G1831] and [G2532] come [G1205]! And [G2532] came forth [G1831] Shadrach, Meshach, [and] Abed-nego from out of [G1537] midst [G3319] of the [G3588] fire [G4442].
27: And [G2532] were brought together [G4863] the [G3588] satraps , and [G2532] the [G3588] commandants [G4755], and [G2532] the [G3588] toparchs , and [G2532] the [G3588] mighty ones [G1413] of the [G3588] king . And [G2532] they viewed [G2334] the [G3588] men , for [G3754] did not [G3756] dominate over [G2961] the [G3588] fire [G4442] the [G3588]ir body [G4983][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] hair [G2359] of the [G3588]ir head [G2776] was not [G3756] ablaze [G5394], and [G2532] the [G3588]ir pantaloons [G1473] did not [G3756] change , and [G2532] scent [G3744] of fire [G4442] was not [G3756] on [G1722] them [G1473].
28: And [G2532] did obeisance [G4352] before [G1799] them [G1473] the [G3588] king to the [G3588] Boss '[G2962]. And [G2532] responded Nebuchadnezzar the [G3588] king , and [G2532] he said [G2036], Blessed be [G2128] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of the [G3588] Shadrach, Meshach, and [G2532] Abed-nego, who [G3739] sent the [G3588] his word-conveyer (messenger) '[G1473], and [G2532] rescued [G1807] the [G3588] his servants [G3816][G1473], for [G3754] they relied [G3982] upon [G1909] him [G1473]. And [G2532] the [G3588] word [G4487] of the [G3588] king they changed , and [G2532] they delivered up [G3860] the [G3588]ir bodies [G4983][G1473] unto [G1519] fire [G4442] so that [G3704] they should not [G3361] serve [G3000] nor [G3366] do obeisance to [G4352] any [G3956] god [G2316] except the [G3588] God '[G2316] of them [G1473].
29: And [G2532] I [G1473] display [G1620] a decree [G1378], Every [G3956] people [G2992], tribe [G5443], language [G1100], which [G3739] ever should speak [G2036] blasphemy against [G2596] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-nego, for [G1519] destruction will be , and [G2532] the [G3588]ir houses [G3624][G1473] for [G1519] ravaging , in so far as [G2530] there is no [G3756] God '[G2316] other [G2087] who [G3748] will be able [G1410] to rescue [G4506] thus [G3779].
30: Then [G5119] the [G3588] king prospered [G2720] the [G3588] Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-nego in [G1722] the [G3588] region [G5561] of Babylon.
