1King Nebuchadnezzar made a golden statue sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and he set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
1尼布甲尼撒 王造了一個金像，高六十肘，寬六肘，立在 巴比倫 省 杜拉 平原。
2Then King Nebuchadnezzar sent word to assemble the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the other officials of the provinces to attend the dedication of the statue he had set up.
2尼布甲尼撒 王差人將總督、欽差、巡撫、臬司、藩司、謀士、法官，和各省的官員都召了來，為 尼布甲尼撒 王所立的像行開光之禮。
3So the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces assembled for the dedication of the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up, and they stood before it.
3於是總督、欽差、巡撫、臬司、藩司、謀士、法官，和各省的官員都聚集了來，要為 尼布甲尼撒 王所立的像行開光之禮，就站在 尼布甲尼撒 所立的像前。
4Then the herald loudly proclaimed, “O people of every nation and language, this is what you are commanded:
4那時傳令的大聲呼叫說：「各方、各國、各族的人哪，有令傳與你們：
5As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
5你們一聽見角、笛、琵琶、琴、瑟、笙，和各樣樂器的聲音，就當俯伏敬拜 尼布甲尼撒 王所立的金像。
6And whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.”
6凡不俯伏敬拜的，必立時扔在烈火的窯中。」
7Therefore, as soon as all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and all kinds of music, the people of every nation and language would fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
7因此各方、各國、各族的人民一聽見角、笛、琵琶、琴、瑟，和各樣樂器的聲音，就都俯伏敬拜 尼布甲尼撒 王所立的金像。
8At this time some astrologers came forward and maliciously accused the Jews,
8那時，有幾個 迦勒底 人進前來控告 猶大 人。
9saying to King Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, may you live forever!
9他們對 尼布甲尼撒 王說：「願王萬歲！
10You, O king, have issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the golden statue,
10王啊，你曾降旨說，凡聽見角、笛、琵琶、琴、瑟、笙，和各樣樂器聲音的都當俯伏敬拜金像。
11and that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.
11凡不俯伏敬拜的，必扔在烈火的窯中。
12But there are some Jews you have appointed to manage the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—who have ignored you, O king, and have refused to serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”
12現在有幾個 猶大 人，就是王所派管理 巴比倫 省事務的 沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 ；王啊，這些人不理你，不事奉你的神，也不敬拜你所立的金像。」
13Then Nebuchadnezzar, furious with rage, summoned Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king,
13當時， 尼布甲尼撒 沖沖大怒，吩咐人把 沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 帶過來，他們就把那些人帶到王面前。
14and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, is it true that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden statue I have set up?
14尼布甲尼撒 問他們說：「 沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 ，你們不事奉我的神，也不敬拜我所立的金像，是故意的嗎？
15Now, if you are ready, as soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the statue I have made. But if you refuse to worship, you will be thrown at once into the blazing fiery furnace. Then what god will be able to deliver you from my hands?”
15你們再聽見角、笛、琵琶、琴、瑟、笙，和各樣樂器的聲音，若俯伏敬拜我所造的像，卻還可以；若不敬拜，必立時扔在烈火的窯中，有何神能救你們脫離我手呢？」
16Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
16沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 對王說：「 尼布甲尼撒 啊，這件事我們不必回答你，
17If the God whom we serve exists, then He is able to deliver us from the blazing fiery furnace and from your hand, O king.
17即便如此，我們所事奉的上帝能將我們從烈火的窯中救出來。王啊，他也必救我們脫離你的手；
18But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”
18即或不然，王啊，你當知道我們決不事奉你的神，也不敬拜你所立的金像。」
19At this, Nebuchadnezzar was filled with rage, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He gave orders to heat the furnace seven times hotter than usual,
19當時， 尼布甲尼撒 怒氣填胸，向 沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 變了臉色，吩咐人把窯燒熱，比尋常更加七倍；
20and he commanded some mighty men of valor in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the blazing fiery furnace.
20又吩咐他軍中的幾個壯士，將 沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 捆起來，扔在烈火的窯中。
21So they were tied up, wearing robes, trousers, turbans, and other clothes, and they were thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.
21這三人穿着褲子、內袍、外衣，和 別的 衣服，被捆起來扔在烈火的窯中。
22The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the fiery flames killed the men who carried up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
22因為王命緊急，窯又甚熱，那抬 沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 的人都被火焰燒死。
23And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, firmly bound, fell into the blazing fiery furnace.
23沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 這三個人都被捆着落在烈火的窯中。
24Suddenly King Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and asked his advisers, “Did we not throw three men, firmly bound, into the fire?” “Certainly, O king,” they replied.
24那時， 尼布甲尼撒 王驚奇，急忙起來，對謀士說：「我們捆起來扔在火裏的不是三個人嗎？」他們回答王說：「王啊，是。」
25“Look!” he exclaimed. “I see four men, unbound and unharmed, walking around in the fire—and the fourth looks like a son of the gods!”
25王說：「看哪，我見有四個人，並沒有捆綁，在火中遊行，也沒有受傷；那第四個的相貌好像神子。」
26Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the door of the blazing fiery furnace and called out, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire,
26於是， 尼布甲尼撒 就近烈火窯門，說：「至高上帝的僕人 沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 出來，上這裏來吧！」 沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 就從火中出來了。
27and when the satraps, prefects, governors, and royal advisers had gathered around, they saw that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men. Not a hair of their heads was singed, their robes were unaffected, and there was no smell of fire on them.
27那些總督、欽差、巡撫，和王的謀士一同聚集看這三個人，見火無力傷他們的身體，頭髮也沒有燒焦，衣裳也沒有變色，並沒有火燎的氣味。
28Nebuchadnezzar declared, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him. They violated the king’s command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.
28尼布甲尼撒 說：「 沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 的上帝是應當稱頌的！他差遣使者救護倚靠他的僕人，他們不遵王命，捨去己身，在他們上帝以外不肯事奉敬拜別神。
29Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be cut into pieces and their houses reduced to rubble. For there is no other god who can deliver in this way.”
29現在我降旨，無論何方、何國、何族的人，謗讟 沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 之上帝的，必被凌遲，他的房屋必成糞堆，因為沒有別神能這樣施行拯救。」
30Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
30那時王在 巴比倫 省，高升了 沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 。
