Songs of the Three Young Men — 1
The Prayer of Azaryahu in the Furnace
1 And they walked about in the midst of the flames, singing hymns to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and Barakahym 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
2 Then Azaryahu stood and offered this prayer; in the midst of the fire he opened his mouth and said:
3 “Baraked are you O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH the 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH of our fathers, and worthy of Yadah; your Name is esteemed for ever.
4 For you are just in all that you have done to us, and all your works are true and your ways right, and all your judgments are truth.
5 You have executed true judgments in all that you have brought upon us and upon Yahushalam the Qadash city of our fathers, for in truth and justice you have brought all this upon us because of our sins.
6 For we have sinfully and lawlessly departed from You, and have sinned in all things and have not obeyed your commandments;
7 we have not observed them or done them, as you have commanded us that it might go well with us.
8 So all that you have brought upon us, and all that you have done to us, you have done in true judgment.
9 You have given us into the hands of lawless enemies, most hateful rebels and to an unjust king, the most wicked in all the world.
10 And now we cannot open our mouths; shame and dishonor have befallen your servants and worshipers.
11 For your Name’s sake do not give us up utterly, and do not break your covenant,
12 and do not withdraw your mercy from us, for the sake of Abraham your beloved and for the sake of Yachaq your servant and Yashar'AL your Qadash one,
13 to whom you did promise to make their descendants as many as the stars of Shamaym and as the sand on the shore of the sea.
14 For we, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, have become fewer than any nation, and are brought low this day in all the world because of our sins.
15 And at this time there is no prince, or prophet, or leader, no burnt offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, no place to make an offering before you or to find mercy.
16 Yet with a contrite heart and a humble ruach may we be accepted, as though it were with burnt offerings of rams and bulls, and with tens of thousands of fat lambs;
17 such may our sacrifice be in your sight this day, and may we wholly follow you, for there will be no shame for those who trust in you.
18 And now with all our heart we follow you, we fear you and seek your face.
19 Do not put us to shame, but deal with us in your forbearance and in your abundant mercy.
20 Deliver us in accordance with your marvelous works, and give Kabad to your Name, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH! Let all who do harm to your servants be put to shame;
21 let them be dishonor and deprived of all power and dominion, and let their strength be broken.
22 Let them know that you are 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH the only 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH, Esteemed over the whole world.”
The Song of the Three Yahudym
23 Now the king’s servants who threw them in did not cease feeding the furnace fires with naphtha, pitch, tow, and brush.
24 And the flame streamed out above the furnace forty-nine cubits,
25 and it broke through and burned those of the Chaldaans whom it caught about the furnace.
26 But the Malak of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH came down into the furnace to be with Azaryahu and his companions, and drove the fiery flame out of the furnace,
27 and made the midst of the furnace like a moist whistling wind, so that the fire did not touch them at all or hurt or trouble them.
28 Then the three, as with one mouth, Yadah and Esteemed and baraked 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH in the furnace, saying:
29 “Baraked art you, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH the 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH of our fathers, and Yadah 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and highly exalted for ever;
30 And baraked is your Esteemed Qadash Name and to be highly Yadah and highly exalted for ever;
31 Baraked are you in the temple of your Qadash Kabad and to be extolled and highly Esteemed for ever.
32 Baraked are you, who sittest upon charubim and lookest upon the deeps, and to be Yadah and highly exalted for ever.
33 Baraked are you upon the throne of your kingdom and to be extolled and highly exalted for ever.
34 Baraked are you in the firmament of Shamaym and to be sung and Esteemed for ever.
35 “Barak 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH all works of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, sing Yadah to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and highly exalt 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH for ever.
