15. Formal Translation Now if you are ready, at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, psalteries, and bagpipe, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made—then if you do not worship immediately, you shall be cast into the midst of a burning furnace. And who is god {elah, Divine Power} who will deliver you from my hand {yedai, Sovereign Control}? |
15. Dynamic Translation So now, if you are prepared, when you hear music from the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, psaltery, bagpipe, and every kind of instrument, fall down and worship the statue I have set up; but if you refuse to worship, you will be thrown straight into the blazing furnace. Then what god {elah, Supreme Being} can rescue you from my grasp {yedai, Royal Authority}? |
