8 Pa nthawe imweyo, Akalideya winango adayenda kukalewera Adjuda.
9 Iwo adauza mambo Nabukadinazori kuti: “Imwe mambo, mukhale na moyo mpaka kale-kale.
10 Imwe mambo, mudapereka lamulo lakuti munthu ali-wentse omwe anibva kulira kwa nyanga, citoliro, sitara, harpa, bzakuimbira bza bzingwe, citoliro cikulu na bzakuimbira bzinango bzentse an’funika kugodama acitsulima mpaka nkhope yace pantsi acinamata cifanikiso ca oro;
11 ndipo ule omwe an’saya kugodama acinamata cifanikisoco, athusidwe mu forno yomwe ikugaka moto.
12 Tsono pana Adjuda winango omwe mudawaikha kukhala anyakunyang’anira cigawo ca Babiloniya, omwe akubvera lini lamulo lanu mambo. Iwo ni Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego. Amwewa ambatumikira lini mirungu yanu ndipo akulamba kunamata cifanikiso ca oro comwe imwepo mudaciimisa.”
13 Tenepo, Nabukadinazori na ciya kwene-kwene adacemeresa Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego ndipo iwo adayendesedwa kwa mambo.
14 Nabukadinazori adabvunza Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego kuti: “Kodi n’cadidi kuti imwepo mumbatumikira lini mirungu yangu ndipo mukulamba kunamata cifanikiso comwe ndidaciimisa?
15 Tsapano mukabva kulira kwa nyanga, citoliro, sitara,* harpa, bzakuimbira bza bzingwe, citoliro cikulu na bzakuimbira bzinango bzakusiyana-siyana imwepo mucigodama na kunamata cifanikiso comwe ndidaciimisa, mun’cita bwino kwene-kwene. Tsono mukalamba kucinamata, imwepo mun’dzathusidwa mu forno yomwe ikugaka moto pa nthawe imweyoletu. Kodi ni mulungu uponi omwe angakupulumuseni m’manja mwangu?”
16 Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego adatawira mamboyo kuti: “Imwe mambo Nabukadinazori, tiribe ciri-centse cakulewa pa nkhani imweyi.
17 Imwe mambo, penu n’tenepo, Mulungu wathu omwe timbamutumikira angatimupuluse mu forno yomwe ikugaka moto ndipo iye angatipulumusembo m’manja mwanu.
18 Tsono napo iye acisaya kucita bzimwebzo, dziwani mambo kuti ifepano tin’dzatumikira lini mirungu yanu ndipo ne tin’dzanamata lini cifanikiso ca oro comwe mudaciimisa.”
19 Na tenepo, Nabukadinazori adakalipa kwene-kwene na Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego, mwakuti nkhope yace idacinja* thangwe ra iwo, ndipo iye adatonga kuti moto uyeseredwe mu forno maulendo 7 kuposa momwe akhacitira ntsiku zentse.
20 Patsogolo pace, mamboyo adauza amuna wamphanvu pakati pa acikunda wace kuti amange Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego, acikawathusa mu forno yomwe ikhagaka moto.
21 Tenepo amunawo adawamanga, pomwe akhadabvala bzakubvala bzawo, bzapeu bzawo na bzakubvala bzawo bzentse bzinango, ndipo adawathusa mu forno ya motoyo.
22 Pakuti mambo akhadaikha lamulo lakuipa ndipo forno ikhadapsa kuposa ntsiku zentse, acikunda wamphanvu omwe akhadanyamula Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego ndiwo omwe adafa na motoyo.
23 Tsono amuna atatuwa, Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego adagwera pa kati na kati ya forno yomwe ikhagaka motoyo uko adamangidwa.
24 Tenepo na mantha, mambo Nabukadinazori mwakamfulumize adamuka acibvunza akulu-akulu wa nduna zace kuti: “Kodi ifepano tiribe kuthusa mu forno amuna atatu omwe akhadamangidwa?” Iwo adatawira mamboyo kuti: “Inde mambo.”
25 Iye adati: “Onani, ndikuwona amuna anai wakusaya kumangidwa, omwe akufamba bwino-bwino pakati pa motoyo ne kupsa, ndipo munthu wacinaiyo akuwoneka ninga mwana wa mirungu.”
26 Nabukadinazori adafendera pa msuwo wa forno ya motoyo acilewa kuti: “Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego, atumiki wa Mulungu Mkululetu, bulani ndipo bwerani kuno.” Tenepo, Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego adacoka pakati pa motopo.
27 Ndipo asatarapa, anyakunyang’anira, magovernadori na akulu-akulu wa nduna za mambo omwe akhali pamwepo, adawona kuti motoyo ukhalibe kuwacita cinthu m’thupi mwawo* ndipo ne libodzi mwa tsisi lawo liribe kuwauka, bzakubvala bzawo bziribe kupsa ndipo ne akhanunkha lini utsi.
28 Na tenepo, Nabukadinazori adalewa kuti: “Atumbizidwe Mulungu wa Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego omwe watuma anjo wace kuti adzapulumuse atumiki wace. Iwo adamuthemba ndipo adalamba kubvera lamulo la mambo, ndipo akhali wakukonzekambo kufa* m’mbuto mwakutumikira ayai kunamata mulungu ali-wentse kupambula Mulungu wawo.
29 Ndipopa inepano ndikupereka lamulo lakuti, wanthu wa mitundu yakusiyana-siyana na wa bzirewedwe bzakusiyana-siyana omwe anilewa kuipa Mulungu wa Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego, an’funika kugwatidwa-gwatidwa ndipo nyumba zawo zisandusidwe bzimbudzi bza wanthu wentse,* pakuti palibe Mulungu munango omwe angapulumuse kuposa umweyu.”
30 Tenepo mamboyo adacitisa kuti Sadraki, Mesaki na Abedinego akhale na udindo bwapadzulu* m’cigawo ca Babiloniya.
