3:8 那时有几个迦勒底人，为此进前来控告犹大人。
Because of this at that time certain Chaldeans drew near and accused the Jews.
3:9 他们对尼布甲尼撒王说，愿王万岁！
They responded and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, O king, live forever!
3:10 王阿，你曾降旨说，凡听见角、笛、七弦琴、三角琴、瑟、风笛、和各样乐器声音的人，都当俯伏敬拜金像；
You, O king, have made a decree that every man who hears the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of music shall fall down and worship the golden image;
3:11 凡不俯伏敬拜的，必扔在烈火的窑中。
And whoever does not fall down and worship shall be thrown into the midst of a blazing furnace of fire.
3:12 现在有几个犹大人，就是王所派管理巴比伦省事务的沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌，王阿，这些人不尊重你，不事奉你的神，也不敬拜你所立的金像。
There are certain Jews, whom you have appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon-Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego-these men have not respected you, O king; they do not serve your gods nor worship the golden image that you have set up.
3:13 当时尼布甲尼撒大发烈怒，吩咐人把沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌带过来；他们就把那些人带到王面前。
Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded men to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; then they brought these men before the king.
3:14 尼布甲尼撒问他们说，沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌，你们不事奉我的神，也不敬拜我所立的金像，是故意的么？
Nebuchadnezzar responded and said to them, Do you, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, purposely not serve my gods nor worship the golden image that I have set up?
3:15 如今你们一听见角、笛、七弦琴、三角琴、瑟、风笛、和各样乐器的声音，若立既俯伏敬拜我所造的像，却还可以；若不敬拜，必立时扔在烈火的窑中，谁是那能救你们脱离我手的神呢？
Now then, if, at the time when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, you are ready to fall down and worship the image that I have made, very well; but if you do not worship, you will be thrown into the midst of a blazing furnace of fire in that very hour; and who is that god who will deliver you out of my hands?
3:16 沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌回答王说，尼布甲尼撒阿，这件事我们不必回答你。
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, there is no need for us to give you an answer in this matter.
3:17 既便如此，我们所事奉的神，也能将我们从烈火的窑中救出来；王阿，祂必救我们脱离你的手。
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the blazing furnace of fire, and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
3:18 既或不然，王阿，你当知道，我们决不事奉你的神，也不敬拜你所立的金像。
But if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods nor worship the golden image that you have set up.
3:19 当时尼布甲尼撒怒气填胸，向沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌变了脸色，吩咐人把窑烧热，比平常更热七倍。
Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with fury and the countenance of his face was changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. He responded and commanded that the furnace be made seven times hotter than it was usually heated.
3:20 又吩咐他军中的几个壮士，将沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌捆起来，扔在烈火的窑中。
And he commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and throw them into the blazing furnace of fire.
3:21 当时这三个人是穿着衬衣、内袍、外衣、和别的衣服，被捆起来扔在烈火的窑中。
Then these men were bound in their shirts, tunics, and mantles, and other clothing, and thrown into the midst of the blazing furnace of fire.
3:22 因为王命严厉，窑又烧得极热，那抬沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌的人，都被火焰烧死。
For this reason, because the king's word was so harsh and the furnace had been heated to an extreme, the flame of the fire slew those men who carried up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
3:23 沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌这三个人，都被捆着落在烈火的窑中。
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell into the midst of the blazing furnace of fire bound up.
3:24 那时尼布甲尼撒王惊奇，急忙起来，对谋士说，我们岂不是把三个人捆起来扔在火里么？他们回答王说，王阿，确实是的。
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished and stood up in haste; he responded and said to his counselors, Did we not throw three men into the midst of the fire bound up? They answered and said to the king, Certainly, O king.
3:25 王说，看哪，我见有四个人，并没有捆绑，在火中行走，也没有受伤；那第四个的相貌，好像神子。
He answered and said, Look, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not harmed. And the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.
