28 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. 29 Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god that is able to deliver after this sort.

28 Ka korero a Nepukaneha, ka mea, Kia whakapaingia te Atua o Hataraka, o Mehaka, o Apereneko, nana nei i unga mai tana anahera, a whakaorangia ana e ia ana pononga i whakawhirinaki nei ki a ia, i whakaputa ke nei i te kupu a te kingi, a tukua ana e ratou o ratou tinana, he mea kei mahi ratou, kei koropiko ki tetahi atu atua, engari ki to ratou Atua anake.

29 Na ko taku ture tenei e whakatakoto nei, na, ko nga tangata, ko te iwi, ko te reo, he kupu kino nei tana mo te Atua o Hataraka, o Mehaka, o Apereneko, ka haehaea ratou, a ka meinga o ratou whare hei puranga paru: no te mea kahore atu he atua he rite tana whakaora ki ta tenei.
