< Daniel 3 >
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, and the breadth of it six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
В лето осмонадесятое Навуходоносор царь сотвори тело злато, высота его лактий шестидесяти и широта его лактий шести, и постави е на поли Деире во стране Вавилонстей.
2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
И посла (Навуходоносор царь) собрати ипаты и воеводы и местоначалники, вожди же и мучители, и сущыя на властех и вся князи стран, приити на обновление кумира, егоже постави Навуходоносор царь.
3 Then the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up, and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
И собрашася местоначалницы, ипатове, воеводы, вождеве, мучителие велицыи, иже над властьми, и вси началницы стран на обновление тела, еже постави Навуходоносор царь: и сташа пред телом, еже постави Навуходоносор царь.
4 Then the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,
И проповедник вопияше со крепостию: вам глаголется, народи, людие, племена, языцы:
5 that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.
в оньже час аще услышите глас трубы, свирели же и гусли, самвики же и псалтири и согласия, и всякаго рода мусикийска, падающе покланяйтеся телу златому, еже постави Навуходонсор царь:
6 And he who does not fall down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
и иже аще не пад поклонится, в той час ввержен будет в пещь огнем горящую.
7 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
И бысть егда услышаша людие глас трубы, свирели же и гусли, самвики же и псалтири и согласия, и всякаго рода мусикийска, падающе вси людие, племена, языцы, покланяхуся телу златому, еже постави Навуходоносор царь.
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.
Тогда приступиша мужие Халдейстии и оболгаша Иудеев,
9 They answered and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, O king, live forever.
отвещавше реша Навуходоносору цареви: царю, во веки живи:
10 Thou, O king, have made a decree, that every man who shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image.
ты, царю, положил еси повеление, да всяк человек, иже аще услышит глас трубы, свирели же и гусли, самвики же и псалтири и согласия, и всякаго рода мусикийска,
11 And he who does not fall down and worship, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
и не пад поклонится телу златому, ввержен будет в пещь огнем горящую.
12 There are certain Jews whom thou have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not regarded thee. They do not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou have set up.
Суть убо мужие Иудее, ихже поставил еси над делы страны Вавилионския, Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, иже не послушаша заповеди твоея, царю, и богом твоим не служат и телу златому, еже поставил еси, не покланяются.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
Тогда Навуходоносор в ярости и гневе рече привести Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго. И приведени быша пред царя.
14 Nebuchadnezzar answered and said to them, Is it of purpose, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that ye do not serve my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
И отвеща Навуходоносор и рече им: аще воистинну, Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, богом моим не служите и телу златому, еже поставих, не покланяетеся?
15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made, well. But if ye do not worship, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is that god who shall deliver you out of my hands?
Ныне убо аще есте готови, да егда услышите глас трубы, свирели же и гусли, самвики же и псалтири и согласия, и всякаго рода мусикийска, падше поклонитеся телу златому, еже сотворих: аще же не поклонитеся, в той час ввержени будете в пещь огнем горящую: и кто есть Бог, иже измет вы из руки моея?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter.
И отвещаша Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, глаголюще царю Навуходоносору: не требе нам о глаголе сем отвещати тебе:
17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king.
есть бо Бог наш на небесех, Емуже мы служим, силен изяти нас от пещи огнем горящия и от руку твоею избавити нас, царю:
18 But if not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou have set up.
аще ли ни, ведомо да будет тебе, царю, яко богом твоим не служим и телу златому, еже поставил еси, не кланяемся.
19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Therefore he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was accustomed to be heated.
Тогда Навуходоносор исполнися ярости, и зрак лица его изменися на Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго, и рече: разжжите пещь седмерицею, дондеже до конца разгорится.
20 And he commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
И мужем сильным крепостию рече: оковавше Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго, вверзите в пещь огнем горящую.
21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their tunics, and their head coverings, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Тогда мужие онии оковани быша с гащами своими и покрывалы, и сапогми и со одеждами своими, и ввержени быша посреде пещи огнем горящия.
22 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace very hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Понеже глагол царев превозможе, и пещь разжжена бысть преизлишше: и мужей оных, иже ввергоша Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго, уби пламень огненный.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
И мужие тии трие, Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, падоша посреде пещи огнем горящия оковани,
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counselors, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king.
Навуходоносор же слыша поющих их, и почудися, и воста со тщанием, и рече вельможам своим: не триех ли мужей ввергохом среде огня связаных? И реша цареви: воистинну, царю.
25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no harm. And the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.
И рече царь: се, аз вижду мужы четыри разрешены и ходящя среде огня, и истления несть в них, и зрак четвертаго подобен сыну Божию.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came forth out of the midst of the fire.
Тогда прииде Навуходоносор ко устию пещи огнем разжженныя и рече: Седрах, Мисах, Авденаго, раби Бога Вышняго, изыдите и приидите. И изыдоша Седрах, Мисах, Авденаго от среды огня.
27 And the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, and the king's counselors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed. Neither were their coats changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.
И собрашася князи и воеводы, и местоначалницы и вельможи царевы, и видяху мужей, яко не одоле огнь телесем их и власа главы их не опали, и ризы их не изменишася, и вони огненны не бяше в них.
28 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his agent, and delivered his servants who 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.
И поклонися пред ними царь Богу, и отвеща Навуходоносор царь и рече: благословен Бог Седрахов, Мисахов и Авденаго, Иже посла Ангела Своего и изя отроки Своя, яко уповаша на Него: и слово царево премениша, и предаша телеса своя во огнь, яко да не послужат, ни поклонятся всякому богу иному, но точию Богу своему:
29 Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speaks anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill, because there is no other god who is able to deliver after this sort.
и аз заповедаю заповедь: вси людие, племя, язык, аще речет хулу на Бога Седрахова и Мисахова и Авденаго, в пагубу будут, и домове их в разграбление: понеже несть бога другаго, иже возможет избавити сице.
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
Тогда царь постави Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго во стране Вавилонстей, и возвеличи их, и сподоби их старейшинства Иудеев всех сущих во царстве его.
