Ookuume kaDaniel yatatu taa pangulilwa eso
19 Nena Nebukadnezzar okwa kanitha eidhidhimiko lye, nomeho ge ga tiliganene Shadrak, Meshak naAbednego. Onkee okwa lombwele aantu ye, ya hanyeke eziko li pupyale li vule shito luheyali. 20 Nokwa lombwele aalumentu aanankondo yomaakwiita ye, ya mange aalumentu mboka yatatu noye yu umbile meziko lya hanya. 21 Mbaka oye ya manga — oya li ya zala oohema, oondjatha, omagala noonguwo dhawo adhihe dhilwe — noye ya umbile meziko lya hanya. 22 Ngashingeyi, molwaashoka omukwaniilwa a gandja elaka lya kola, eziko li pupyalekwe lela, omalaka gomulilo oga fike aalumentu mboka ye ya fala meziko. 23 Nena Shadrak, Meshak naAbednego, manga ya li ya mangwa, oya gwile menilela lyeziko lya hanya.

Omafufu gawo oga li inaaga yayuka, oonguwo dhawo inadhi pya nokaya li ya nika othungu.
28 Omukwaniilwa okwa ti: “Tangeni Kalunga kaShadrak, Meshak naAbednego! Okwa tumu omuyengeli gwe nokwa hupitha aalumentu mbaka haye mu longele noye mu inekela. Oyo inaa vulika kiipango yandje noya hupula oomwenyo dhawo shi vulithe okwiinyongamena nokusimaneka kalunga kalwe, kakele Kalunga kawo yene.
29 “Ngashingeyi otandi gandja elombwelo kutya ngele oku na ngoka gwomoshigwana kehe, moludhi kehe nenge melaka kehe ta popi ta shundula Kalunga kaShadrak, Meshak naAbednego, oku na okundembagulwa miintimbu, negumbo lye otali ka halakanithwa po, li ninge ondumba yomakulukuma. Kaku na kalunga kalwe ta vulu okuhupitha, ngaashi twe shi mono nena.”
30 Omukwaniilwa nokwa lenge Shadrak, Meshak naAbednego omalenga omanene moshikandjo shaBabilon.
