1Ukumkani uNebhukadenetsare wenza umfanekiso wegolide: ukuphakama kwawo bekuziikubhite ezimashumi mathandathu, ububanzi bawo baba ziikubhite ezintandathu; wema kwintlango yaseDura, kwisithili saseBhabheli.

2Ukumkani uNebhukadenetsare wathumela ukuba kubizwe abathetheli, namabamba, namabamba, nabagwebi, nabagcini-ndyebo, nabacebisi, nababusi, namabamba, nawo onke amabamba amazwe, ukuba bamise umfanekiso abewumisile uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani usete uye.

3Bahlanganisana ke abathetheli, namabamba, nabathetheli, nabagwebi, noonondyebo, nabacebisi, namabamba, namabamba, nabo bonke abathetheli belizwe, ukuba bawutyhilile umfanekiso abewumisile uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani; yaye bema phambi komfanekiso awayewumisile uNebhukadenetsare.

4Wadanduluka ke umthetheli wathi: “Niyalelwe, zizwe, zizwe, zilwimi;

5Xa nithe neva isandi sesigodlo, nelembande, nelekitare, nelekitare, nelohadi, nelohadi, nelohlobo lonke lweempahla zokubethwa, niwe phantsi niqubude kumfanekiso wegolide awumisileyo uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani.

6Wonke umntu ongathanga awe phantsi aze athandaze uya kuphoswa ezikweni elivutha umlilo kwangelo lixa.

7Ngelo xesha, sakuva lonke uhlanga isandi sembande, nempempe, nempempe, nempempe, nempempe, neempahla zonke zeempahla zonke, nezizwe zonke, nezizwe zonke, neelwimi zonke, zawa phantsi waguqa phantsi umfanekiso wegolide awayewumisile uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani uye.

8Kungenxa yoko le nto kweza amaKaledi ngelo xesha, awatyhola amaYuda.

9Athetha athi kukumkani uNebhukadenetsare, Yehova, yidla ubomi ngonaphakade!

10Wena ke, kumkani, uwise umthetho wokuba bonke abathe baliva izwi lembande, nelogwali, nelohadi, nelohadi, nelohadi, neleempahla zonke zeempahla zonke, bawe phantsi, baqubude kumfanekiso wegolide.

11Nabani na ongawanga phantsi aze athandaze uya kuphoswa ezikweni elivutha umlilo.

12Kukho amanye amaYuda, owawamise ukuba alawule iphondo laseBhabheli, angooShadraki, noMeshaki, noAbhednego; la madoda kumkani akakuhoyanga; akababusi oothixo bakho, akaqubudi kumfanekiso wegolide owumisileyo.

13uNebhukadenetsare, enomsindo, enomsindo, wathi mabaziswe ooShadraki, noMeshaki, noAbhednego. Awazisa la madoda phambi kokumkani.

14Waphendula uNebhukadenetsare, wathi kubo, Nenza ngabomi na, Shadraki, Meshaki, Abhede-nego, ukuthi ningambusi uthixo wam, aniqubudi kumfanekiso wegolide endiwumisileyo?

15Xa nithe nalungela, ngexesha lokuva kwenu isandi sogwali, nesempempe, nesohadi, nesehadi, nesemfama, nesazo zonke iintlobo zeempahla zokuvuma, niwe phantsi niqubude kumfanekiso endiwenzileyo; ewe, ukuba anithanga nithobele, nophoswa ezikweni elivutha umlilo; yaye ngubani na uTHIXO oya kunihlangula esandleni sam?

16Baphendula ooShadraki, noMeshaki, noAbhednego, bathi kukumkani, Nebhukadenetsare, asazi ukuba sikuphendule ngantoni na kweli lizwi;

17Ukuba kunjalo, uThixo wethu osilungiselelayo wosisindisa ezikweni elivutha umlilo, asihlangule esandleni sakho, kumkani.

18Ke, ukuba akunjalo, makwazeke kuwe, kumkani, ukuba asiyi kubabusa thixo bakho, asiyi kuqubuda kumfanekiso wegolide owumisileyo.

19uNebhukadenetsare wazala ngumsindo, nembonakalo yobuso bakhe yeya kuShadraki, noMeshaki, noAbhede-nego; ke ngoko, wathetha waza waziyalela ukuba zisonge ngokuphindwe kasixhenxe kunoko bekukade kusongwa.

20Wathi kumadoda anamandla omkhosi wakhe, makabophe ooShadraki, noMeshaki, noAbhede-nego, babaphose ezikweni elivutha umlilo.

21Aza abotshwa la madoda enxibe izambatho zawo zangaphezulu, iibhulukhwe zawo neminqwazi yawo nezinye iimpahla zawo, aze aphoswe ezikweni elivutha umlilo.

22Kwathi, ngenxa yokuba ilizwi lokumkani belingqongqo, iziko belenziwe lashushu ngokuncamisileyo, ngenxa yoko ilangatye lomlilo lawabulala amadoda athwele uShadraki, noMeshaki, noAbhednego.

23La madoda omathathu, ooShadraki, noMeshaki, noAbhednego, awela ezikweni elivutha umlilo, ebotshelelwe.

24Wamangaliswa uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani, wema ngokukhawuleza, wathi kumaphakathi akhe, Asiwaphoselanga na la madoda mathathu akhonkxwe emlilweni? Aphendula athi kukumkani, Yinyaniso, kumkani;

25Waphendula wathi, Yabonani, ndibone amadoda amane, ehamba emlilweni, engaseva ntlungu; ukubonakala kweyesine kufana noNyana kaThixo.

26Wasondela uNebhukadenetsare emnyango weziko lomlilo, wathi, Shadraki, Meshaki, Abhede-nego, bakhonzi bOsenyangweni, phumani nize apha. Emva koko uShadraki, uMeshaki noAbhednego baphuma emlilweni.

27Abathetheli, namabamba, nabathetheli, nabacebi bokumkani, ababehlanganisene khona, bawabona amadoda, lomlilo ungenamandla kuwo, neenwele zingarhanga zirhawuke, neengubo zawo zingatshi eentloko, neengubo zawo zokulwa zingarhawukanga batshintshe, bengaqubhanga ivumba lomlilo lawela phezu kwabo.

28Wathetha uNebhukadenetsare, wathi, Makabongwe uThixo kaShadraki, kaMeshaki, ka-Abhede-nego, osithumileyo isithunywa sakhe, wabahlangula abakhonzi bakhe, ababekholose ngaye, balijika ilizwi lokumkani, bayikhulula ngentlawulelo imizimba yabo, ukuba bakhonze nawuphi na uthixo, banganquli thixo bambi, bangamkhonzi yinqule kodwa uThixo wabo.

29Ngoko ndiwisa umthetho wokuba zonke iintlanga, nezizwe zonke, neelwimi zonke, ezithetha kakubi ngoThixo kaShadraki, kaMeshaki, ka-Abhede-nego, zinqanyulwe, izindlu zabo zibe ngamanxuwa; ngokuba kungekho wumbi unjengaye inokukhulula.

30Ukumkani wabanyusela uShadraki, noMeshaki, noAbhednego, wabasa kwisithili saseBhabheli;
