Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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。
1King Nabuchodonosor made a statue of gold, of sixty cubits high, and six cubits broad, and he set it up in the plain of Dura of the province of Babylon.
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。
2Then Nabuchodonosor the king sent to call together the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, the rulers, and governors, and all the chief men of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
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。
3Then the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, and rulers, and the great men that were placed in authority, and all the princes of the provinces, were gathered together to come to the dedication of the statue, which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. And they stood before the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
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：
4Then a herald cried with a strong voice: To you it is commanded, O nations, tribes, and languages:
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。
5That in the hour that you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and of the flute, and of the harp, of the sackbut, and of the psaltery, and of the symphony, and of all kind of music; ye fall down and adore the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor hath set up.
6凡不俯伏敬拜的，必立時扔在烈火的窯中。」
6But if any man shall not fall down and adore, he shall the same hour be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
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。
7Upon this therefore, at the time when all the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music: all the nations, tribes, and languages fell down and adored the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
8那時，有幾個 迦勒底 人進前來控告 猶大 人。
8And presently at that very time some Chaldeans came and accused the Jews,
9他們對 尼布甲尼撒 王說：「願王萬歲！
9And said to king Nabuchodonosor: O king, live for ever:
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。
10Thou, O king, hast made a decree that every man that shall bear the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music, shall prostrate himself, and adore the golden statue:
11凡不俯伏敬拜的，必扔在烈火的窯中。
11And that if any man shall not fall down and adore, he should be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
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。」
12Now there are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the works of the province of Babylon, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago: these men, O king, have slighted thy decree: they worship not thy gods, nor do they adore the golden statue which thou hast set up.
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。
13Then Nabuchodonosor in fury, and in wrath, commanded that Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago should be brought: who immediately were brought before the king.
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？
14And Nabuchodonosor the king spoke to them, and said: Is it true, O Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the golden statue that I have set up?
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？」
15Now therefore if you be ready at what hour soever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, flute, harp, sackbut, and psaltery, and symphony, and of all kind of music, prostrate yourselves, and adore the statue which I have made: but if you do not adore, you shall be cast the same hour into the furnace of burning fire: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand?
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，
16Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago answered and said to king Nabuchodonosor: We have no occasion to answer thee concerning this matter.
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；
17For behold our God, whom we worship, is able to save us from the furnace of burning fire, and to deliver us out of thy hands, O king.
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。」
18But if he will not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not worship thy gods, nor adore the golden statue which thou hast set up.
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；
19Then was Nabuchodonosor filled with fury: and the countenance of his face was changed against Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it had been accustomed to be heated.
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。
20And he commanded the strongest men that were in his army, to bind the feet of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire.
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。
21And immediately these men were bound and were cast into the furnace of burning fire, with their coats, and their caps, and their shoes, and their garments.
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。
22For the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace was heated exceedingly. And the flame of the fire slew those men that had cast in Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago.
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。
23But these three men, that is, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell down bound in the midst of the furnace of burning fire.
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。」
24And they walked in the midst of the flame, praising God and blessing the Lord.
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。」
25Then Azarias standing up prayed in this manner, and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire, he said:
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。
26Blessed art thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers, and thy name is worthy of praise, and glorious for ever:
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。
27For thou art just in all that thou hast done to us, and all thy works are true, and thy ways right, and all thy judgments true.
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。
28For thou hast executed true judgments in all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon Jerusalem the holy city of our fathers: for according to truth and judgment, thou hast brought all these things upon us for our sins.
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。」
29For we have sinned, and committed iniquity, departing from thee: and we have trespassed in all things:
30那時王在 巴比倫 省，高升了 沙得拉 、 米煞 、 亞伯尼歌 。
30And we have not hearkened to thy commandments, nor have we observed nor done as thou hadst commanded us, that it might go well with us.
