王制造金像并下令全国敬拜
3 尼布甲尼撒王造了一座金像，高二十七公尺，宽三公尺，竖立在巴比伦省的杜拉平原上。 2 尼布甲尼撒王派人召集总督、总监、省长、参谋、财政大臣、法官、裁判官和各省所有的官员，要他们参加尼布甲尼撒王为所立的像举行的揭幕典礼。 3 于是总督、总监、省长、参谋、财政大臣、法官、裁判官和省内所有其他的官员，都聚集起来，参加尼布甲尼撒王为所立的像举行的揭幕典礼；他们都站在尼布甲尼撒所立的像前。 4 那时，传令官大声呼叫说：“各国、各族、说各种语言的人哪！这是传给你们的命令： 5 你们一听见角、笛、琵琶、弦琴、竖琴、风笛和各种乐器的声音，就要俯伏，向尼布甲尼撒王所立的金像下拜。 6 凡不俯伏下拜的，就必立刻扔在烈火的窑中。” 7 因此，各国、各族和说各种语言的人，一听见角、笛、琵琶、弦琴、竖琴和各种乐器的声音，就都俯伏，向尼布甲尼撒王所立的金像下拜。
迦勒底人指控但以理之三友
8 那时，有几个迦勒底人前来，诬蔑控告犹大人。 9 他们对尼布甲尼撒王说：“愿王万岁！ 10 王啊，你曾下令，凡听见角、笛、琵琶、弦琴、竖琴、风笛和各种乐器声音的人，都要俯伏，向金像下拜。 11 凡不俯伏下拜的，就必被扔在烈火的窑中。 12 但有几个犹大人，就是王所派管理巴比伦省政务的沙得拉、米煞和亚伯尼歌，王啊！这些人不理会你的命令，不事奉你的神，也不向你所立的金像下拜。”
王怒责三人
13 当时尼布甲尼撒勃然大怒，吩咐人把沙得拉、米煞和亚伯尼歌带来；他们就被带到王面前。 14 尼布甲尼撒问他们说：“沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌啊！你们真的不事奉我的神，也不向我所立的金像下拜吗？ 15 现在，如果你们想清楚，一听见角、笛、琵琶、弦琴、竖琴、风笛和各种乐器的声音，就俯伏向我所做的像下拜，那还可以。如果你们不下拜，就必立刻扔在烈火的窑中。哪里有神能救你们脱离我的手呢？”
拒绝拜金像
16 沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌回答王说：“尼布甲尼撒啊！这件事我们无需回答你。 17 如果我们被扔在火窑里，我们所事奉的 神必能拯救我们；王啊！他必拯救我们脱离烈火的窑和你的手。（本节或译：“如果我们所事奉的 神能拯救我们，王啊！他必拯救我们脱离烈火的窑和你的手。”） 18 即或不然，王啊！你要知道，我们决不事奉你的神，也不向你所立的金像下拜。”
三人在烈火的窑中毫无损伤
19 当时尼布甲尼撒向沙得拉、米煞和亚伯尼歌大发烈怒，连脸色也变了，吩咐人把窑烧热，比平常猛烈七倍。 20 又吩咐他军队中几个最精壮的士兵，把沙得拉、米煞和亚伯尼歌绑起来，扔在烈火的窑中。 21 于是这三个人穿著外袍、长裤、头巾和身上其他的衣服，被绑起来，扔在烈火的窑中。 22 由于王的命令紧急，窑又烧得非常猛烈，那些把沙得拉、米煞和亚伯尼歌抬起来的人，都被火焰烧死了。 23 而沙得拉、米煞和亚伯尼歌这三个人仍被绑着，落入烈火的窑中。
王见神迹就称颂 神
24 那时尼布甲尼撒王非常惊奇，急忙起来，问他的谋臣说：“我们绑起来扔在火里的，不是三个人吗？”他们回答王说：“王啊！是的。” 25 王说：“但我见有四个人，并没有绑着，在火中走来走去，也没有受伤，并且那第四个的样貌好象神子。” 26 于是尼布甲尼撒走近烈火的窑口，说：“至高 神的仆人沙得拉、米煞和亚伯尼歌啊！你们出来，到这里来吧。”沙得拉、米煞和亚伯尼歌就从火中出来。 27 那些总督、总监、省长和王的谋臣，都聚拢来看这三个人，见火无力伤他们的身体；他们的头发没有烧焦，衣服没有烧坏，身上也没有火烧的气味。
28 尼布甲尼撒说：“沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌的 神是应当称颂的，他差遣使者拯救那些倚靠他的仆人；他们违抗王的命令，宁愿舍命，除了自己的 神以外，不肯事奉敬拜任何其他的神。 29 我现在下令：无论各国、各族、说各种语言的人，凡说话得罪沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌的 神的，必被碎尸万段，他的家也必成为废墟，因为没有别的神能这样施行拯救。” 30 于是王在巴比伦省提升了沙得拉、米煞和亚伯尼歌。

New Living Translation
Nebuchadnezzar’s Gold Statue
3 King Nebuchadnezzar made a gold statue ninety feet tall and nine feet wide[a] and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. 2 Then he sent messages to the high officers, officials, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the provincial officials to come to the dedication of the statue he had set up. 3 So all these officials[b] came and stood before the statue King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
4 Then a herald shouted out, “People of all races and nations and languages, listen to the king’s command! 5 When you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and other musical instruments,[c] bow to the ground to worship King Nebuchadnezzar’s gold statue. 6 Anyone who refuses to obey will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.”
7 So at the sound of the musical instruments,[d] all the people, whatever their race or nation or language, bowed to the ground and worshiped the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
8 But some of the astrologers[e] went to the king and informed on the Jews. 9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “Long live the king! 10 You issued a decree requiring all the people to bow down and worship the gold statue when they hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and other musical instruments. 11 That decree also states that those who refuse to obey must be thrown into a blazing furnace. 12 But there are some Jews—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—whom you have put in charge of the province of Babylon. They pay no attention to you, Your Majesty. They refuse to serve your gods and do not worship the gold statue you have set up.”
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar flew into a rage and ordered that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought before him. When they were brought in, 14 Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you refuse to serve my gods or to worship the gold statue I have set up? 15 I will give you one more chance to bow down and worship the statue I have made when you hear the sound of the musical instruments.[f] But if you refuse, you will be thrown immediately into the blazing furnace. And then what god will be able to rescue you from my power?”
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. 18 But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”
The Blazing Furnace
19 Nebuchadnezzar was so furious with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that his face became distorted with rage. He commanded that the furnace be heated seven times hotter than usual. 20 Then he ordered some of the strongest men of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. 21 So they tied them up and threw them into the furnace, fully dressed in their pants, turbans, robes, and other garments. 22 And because the king, in his anger, had demanded such a hot fire in the furnace, the flames killed the soldiers as they threw the three men in. 23 So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, securely tied, fell into the roaring flames.
24 But suddenly, Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and exclaimed to his advisers, “Didn’t we tie up three men and throw them into the furnace?”
“Yes, Your Majesty, we certainly did,” they replied.
25 “Look!” Nebuchadnezzar shouted. “I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god[g]!”
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came as close as he could to the door of the flaming furnace and shouted: “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!”
So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stepped out of the fire. 27 Then the high officers, officials, governors, and advisers crowded around them and saw that the fire had not touched them. Not a hair on their heads was singed, and their clothing was not scorched. They didn’t even smell of smoke!
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel to rescue his servants who trusted in him. They defied the king’s command and were willing to die rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. 29 Therefore, I make this decree: If any people, whatever their race or nation or language, speak a word against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, they will be torn limb from limb, and their houses will be turned into heaps of rubble. There is no other god who can rescue like this!”
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to even higher positions in the province of Babylon.

王製造金像並下令全國敬拜
3 尼布甲尼撒王造了一座金像，高二十七公尺，寬三公尺，豎立在巴比倫省的杜拉平原上。 2 尼布甲尼撒王派人召集總督、總監、省長、參謀、財政大臣、法官、裁判官和各省所有的官員，要他們參加尼布甲尼撒王為所立的像舉行的揭幕典禮。 3 於是總督、總監、省長、參謀、財政大臣、法官、裁判官和省內所有其他的官員，都聚集起來，參加尼布甲尼撒王為所立的像舉行的揭幕典禮；他們都站在尼布甲尼撒所立的像前。 4 那時，傳令官大聲呼叫說：“各國、各族、說各種語言的人哪！這是傳給你們的命令： 5 你們一聽見角、笛、琵琶、弦琴、豎琴、風笛和各種樂器的聲音，就要俯伏，向尼布甲尼撒王所立的金像下拜。 6 凡不俯伏下拜的，就必立刻扔在烈火的窯中。” 7 因此，各國、各族和說各種語言的人，一聽見角、笛、琵琶、弦琴、豎琴和各種樂器的聲音，就都俯伏，向尼布甲尼撒王所立的金像下拜。
迦勒底人指控但以理之三友
8 那時，有幾個迦勒底人前來，誣衊控告猶大人。 9 他們對尼布甲尼撒王說：“願王萬歲！ 10 王啊，你曾下令，凡聽見角、笛、琵琶、弦琴、豎琴、風笛和各種樂器聲音的人，都要俯伏，向金像下拜。 11 凡不俯伏下拜的，就必被扔在烈火的窯中。 12 但有幾個猶大人，就是王所派管理巴比倫省政務的沙得拉、米煞和亞伯尼歌，王啊！這些人不理會你的命令，不事奉你的神，也不向你所立的金像下拜。”
王怒責三人
13 當時尼布甲尼撒勃然大怒，吩咐人把沙得拉、米煞和亞伯尼歌帶來；他們就被帶到王面前。 14 尼布甲尼撒問他們說：“沙得拉、米煞、亞伯尼歌啊！你們真的不事奉我的神，也不向我所立的金像下拜嗎？ 15 現在，如果你們想清楚，一聽見角、笛、琵琶、弦琴、豎琴、風笛和各種樂器的聲音，就俯伏向我所做的像下拜，那還可以。如果你們不下拜，就必立刻扔在烈火的窯中。哪裡有神能救你們脫離我的手呢？”
拒絕拜金像
16 沙得拉、米煞、亞伯尼歌回答王說：“尼布甲尼撒啊！這件事我們無需回答你。 17 如果我們被扔在火窯裡，我們所事奉的 神必能拯救我們；王啊！他必拯救我們脫離烈火的窯和你的手。（本節或譯：“如果我們所事奉的 神能拯救我們，王啊！他必拯救我們脫離烈火的窯和你的手。”） 18 即或不然，王啊！你要知道，我們決不事奉你的神，也不向你所立的金像下拜。”
三人在烈火的窯中毫無損傷
19 當時尼布甲尼撒向沙得拉、米煞和亞伯尼歌大發烈怒，連臉色也變了，吩咐人把窯燒熱，比平常猛烈七倍。 20 又吩咐他軍隊中幾個最精壯的士兵，把沙得拉、米煞和亞伯尼歌綁起來，扔在烈火的窯中。 21 於是這三個人穿著外袍、長褲、頭巾和身上其他的衣服，被綁起來，扔在烈火的窯中。 22 由於王的命令緊急，窯又燒得非常猛烈，那些把沙得拉、米煞和亞伯尼歌抬起來的人，都被火燄燒死了。 23 而沙得拉、米煞和亞伯尼歌這三個人仍被綁著，落入烈火的窯中。
王見神蹟就稱頌 神
24 那時尼布甲尼撒王非常驚奇，急忙起來，問他的謀臣說：“我們綁起來扔在火裡的，不是三個人嗎？”他們回答王說：“王啊！是的。” 25 王說：“但我見有四個人，並沒有綁著，在火中走來走去，也沒有受傷，並且那第四個的樣貌好像神子。” 26 於是尼布甲尼撒走近烈火的窯口，說：“至高 神的僕人沙得拉、米煞和亞伯尼歌啊！你們出來，到這裡來吧。”沙得拉、米煞和亞伯尼歌就從火中出來。 27 那些總督、總監、省長和王的謀臣，都聚攏來看這三個人，見火無力傷他們的身體；他們的頭髮沒有燒焦，衣服沒有燒壞，身上也沒有火燒的氣味。
28 尼布甲尼撒說：“沙得拉、米煞、亞伯尼歌的 神是應當稱頌的，他差遣使者拯救那些倚靠他的僕人；他們違抗王的命令，寧願捨命，除了自己的 神以外，不肯事奉敬拜任何其他的神。 29 我現在下令：無論各國、各族、說各種語言的人，凡說話得罪沙得拉、米煞、亞伯尼歌的 神的，必被碎屍萬段，他的家也必成為廢墟，因為沒有別的神能這樣施行拯救。” 30 於是王在巴比倫省提升了沙得拉、米煞和亞伯尼歌。
