complete verse (Daniel 3:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 3:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “I am telling you, when you next hear the sound of a horn, flute, lyre, guitar, one-strong violin and all other musical instruments, and you (then) worship/kneel to that thing, it is good. But if you refuse, then you will immediately be throw into the blazing fire. Which god will then be able to rescue you?’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Now if you do not do this, and as soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, flute, sitar, lyre, harp and other instruments, fall prostrate in reverence to the image, I have made like that you will be immediately thrown into a kiln roaring with fire. What! Do you think that there is any god who is able to deliver you?"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Now, I command you (plur.) to worship the statue when you (plur.) hear the sound of the instruments. Because if not indeed, you (plur.) will-be-thrown immediately into the blazing furnace. Let- us (incl.) -see if there is a god that can-save you (plur.).’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “If that is true, I will give you one more chance. If you bow down to worship the statue that I have set up when you hear the sounds of the musical instruments, fine. But if you refuse, you will be thrown immediately into the blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my power?/no god will be able to rescue you from my power!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
