Daniel 3
1 In [his] eighteenth year Nabuchodonosor the king made a golden image, its height was sixty cubits, its breadth six cubits: and he set it up in the plain of Deira, in the province of Babylon.
Nanao saren-draha volamena t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka, kiho enem-polo ty haabo’e, le kiho eneñe ty am-pohe’e; natroa’e ami’ty monto’ i Dorà, am-paritane’ i Bavele ao.
2 And he sent forth to gather the governors, and the captains, and the heads of provinces, chiefs, and princes, and those who were in authority, and all the rulers of districts, to come to the dedication of the image.
Le nirahe’ i Nebokadnetsare ty koike hanontoñe o beio, naho o sorotà’eo, naho o fiaoloo, o mpizakao, o mpamandroñeo, o kominteo, o prejidào, vaho o mpifehe faritaneo hiatreke ty fañorizañe i sare nampitroare’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakay.
3 So the heads of provinces, the governors, the captains, the chiefs, the great princes, those who were in authority, and all the rulers of districts, were gathered to the dedication of the image which king Nabuchodonosor had set up; and they stood before the image.
Aa le natontoñe amy fañorizañe i sare nampitroare’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakaiy o beio, naho o sorotà’eo, naho o fiaoloo, o mpizakao, o mpamandroñeo, o kominteo, o prejidào, vaho o fonga mpifehe faritaneo. Aa ie nijohañe añ’atrefa’ i sare nampitroare’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakaiy ey, le
4 Then a herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, ye peoples, tribes, [and] languages,
hoe ty tsinei’ i mpikoikey: Andiliañe ama’ areo ry ondaty, ry fifeheañe naho ry fisaontsy,
5 at what hour ye shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, and sackbut, and psaltery, and every kind of music, ye shall fall down and worship the golden image which king Nabuchodonosor has set up.
te ie mahajanjiñe ty feon’ antsiva naho soly naho marovany naho jejobory naho kantsàñe naho mandalina vaho ze hene raha mañomey feo, le hibaboke naho hitalaho amy sare volamena natroa’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakaiy;
6 And whosoever shall not fall down and worship, in the same hour he shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace.
fe havokovoko am-po’ toñake misolebatse ao amy oray avao ze tsy mibaboke naho mitalaho ama’e.
7 And it came to pass when the nations heard the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, and sackbut, and psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the nations, tribes, [and] languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
Aa ie nahajanjiñe ty feo’ i antsivay naho i soliy naho i marovaniy naho i jejoboriy naho i kantsàñey naho i mandalinay vaho o mpañomey feo iabio, le hene nibaboke ze ondaty, fifeheañe naho fameleke niambane amy sare volamena natroa’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakay.
8 Then came near [certain] Chaldeans, and accused the Jews to the king, [saying],
Ie añe, le nitotoke eo ty nte-Kasdy ila’e nanisý o nte-Iehodào
9 O king, live for ever.
nisaontsy amy Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka ty hoe, Ry mpanjaka, lava ohatse.
10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man who shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, sackbut, and psaltery, and all kinds of music,
Fa nandily irehe, ry mpanjaka, te ze ondaty mahajanjiñe ty feo’ i antsivay naho i soliy naho i marovaniy naho i jejoboriy naho i kantsàñey naho i mandalinay vaho o mpañomey feo iabio, ty hibaboke naho hitalaho amy sare volamenay;
11 and shall not fall down and worship the golden image, shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace.
vaho ze tsy mibaboke, tsy mitalaho, ro hafetsak’ an-toñake mirebareba ao.
12 There are [certain] Jews whom thou hast appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, who have not obeyed thy decree, O king: they serve not thy gods, and worship not the golden image which thou hast set up.
Eo o nte-Iehodà ila’e nampamandroñe’o o raham-paritane’ i Baveleoo: toe i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò; tsy mañaoñe azo indaty rey ry mpanjaka; tsy miambane amo ndrahare’oo, naho tsy mitalaho amy sare volamena natroa’oy.
13 Then Nabuchodonosor in wrath and anger commanded to bring Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago: and they were brought before the king.
Aa le niviñetse am-poroforo t’i Nebokadnetsare vaho linili’e te hasese mb’eo t’i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò. Aa le nasese mb’ añatrefa’ i mpanjakay mb’ eo indaty rey.
14 And Nabuchodonosor answered and said to them, Is it true, Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, that ye serve not my gods, and worship not the golden image which I have set up?
Nanao ty hoe am’ iereo t’i Nebokadnetsare: O ry Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò, to hao t’ie tsy miasy o ‘ndraharekoo, naho tsy mitalaho amy sare volamena natroakoy?
15 Now then if ye be ready, whensoever ye shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, and sackbut, and psaltery, and harmony, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the golden image which I have made; [well]: but if ye worship not, in the same hour ye shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace; and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand?
Aa ie mahajanjiñe ty feo’ i antsivay naho i soliy naho i marovaniy naho i jejoboriy naho i kantsàñey naho i mandalinay miharo amo mpañomey feo iabio, ho veka’e hibaboke naho hitalaho amy sare volamenay vi’ nahareo henane zay? Fa naho tsy italahoa’ areo, le havokovoko an-toñake misolebatse ao amy oray avao. Andrianañahare aia ty hahahaha anahareo an-tañako?
16 Then answered Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, and said to king Nabuchodonosor, We have no need to answer thee concerning this matter.
Aa hoe ty natoi’ i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò amy Nebokadnetsare mpanjakay: Ry Nebokadnetsare, tsy anay ty hamale azo amy ontane zay.
17 For our God whom we serve is in the heavens, able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will rescue us from thy hands, O king.
Mahaoniña, te mahahaha anay amy toñake mibelañey t’i Andrianañahare toroñe’ay, vaho mahafipoliora’e am-pità’o zahay ry mpanjaka.
18 But if not, be it known to thee, O king, that we [will] not serve thy gods, nor worship the image which thou hast set up.
Fa naho tsie, ehe mahafohina, ry mpanjaka, t’ie tsy hitalaho amy ‘ndrahare’oy, ndra hiasy i sare volamena natroa’oy.
19 Then Nabuchodonosor was filled with wrath, and the form of his countenance was changed toward Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago: and he gave orders to heat the furnace seven times [more than usual], until it should burn to the uttermost.
Nilifom-piforoforoañe amy zao t’i Nebokadnetsare le niloroloro amy Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò ty lahara’e, le nanoiñe, naho nandily te hanoeñe im-pito ty hamae’ i toñakey.
20 And he commanded mighty men to bind Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast [them] into the burning fiery furnace.
Linili’e amy zao o fanalolahy am-pirimboñan-dahindefo’eo ty handrohy i Sadrake naho i Mesake naho i Abednegò, vaho hamokovoko iareo amy toñake milebalebay ao.
21 Then those men were bound with their coats, and caps, and hose, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace,
Rinohy reketse saroñe naho sikiñe naho sabaka naho ze lamba ila’e am’ ondaty rey vaho nafetsak’ an-teñateña’ i toñake misolebatsey ao.
22 forasmuch as the king’s word prevailed; and the furnace was made exceeding hot.
Aa kanao am-bodongero’e ty nandilia’ i mpanjakay, ie niloho mae i toñakey, le navetran-del’afo ondaty nandrambe i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegòo.
23 Then these three men, Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell bound into the midst of the burning furnace, and walked in the midst of the flame, singing praise to God, and blessing the Lord.
Aa le nihotrak’ an-drohy an-toñake nibebañ’ ao indaty telo rey: i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò.
24 And Nabuchodonosor heard them singing praises; and he wondered, and rose up in haste, and said to his nobles, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? and they said to the king, Yes, O king.
Nilatsa t’i Nebokadnetsare, mpanjaka, le niongak’ amy zao nisaontsy amo mpanolo-keve’eo ty hoe: Tsy telo hao t’indaty nafetsan-tika an-drohy amo afoo? Hoe ty natoi’ iareo amy mpanjakay; Eka ‘nio, ry mpanjaka.
25 And the king said, But I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there has no harm happened to them; and the appearance of the fourth is like the Son of God.
Hoe ty natoi’e: Heheke, mahatrea ondaty efatse midada ao iraho, songa midraidraitse amy afoy ao, tsy ama’e ty mianto, vaho manahake t’i Anak’ Andrianañahare ty vinta’ o fahefatseo.
26 Then Nabuchodonosor drew near to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said, Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, ye servants of the most high God, proceed forth, and come hither. So Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, came forth out of the midst of the fire.
Nitotok’ am-bava’ i toñake misolebatsey t’i Nebokadnetsare, nanao ty hoe: o ry Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò, ry mpitoron’ Añahare Andindimoneñeo, miakara mb’etoy. Aa le nienga boak’ an-teñateña’ i afoy t’i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò.
27 Then were assembled the satraps, and captains, and heads of provinces, and the royal princes; and they saw the men, [and perceived] that the fire had not had power against their bodies, and the hair of their head was not burnt, and their coats were not scorched, nor was the smell of fire upon them.
Le nihimpoke eo o beio naho o sorotà’eo naho o fiaoloo, o mpizakao, o mpitàm-bolao, o kominteo, o prejidào vaho o mpifehe faritaneo hisamba ondaty tsy nanaña’ i afoy lilio, leo raik’ amo maròy añambone’ iareoo tsy nimae, tsy niova ka o sarimbo’ iereoo, vaho tsy nipitek’ am’ iereo ty imbon’ afo.
28 And king Nabuchodonosor answered and said, Blessed be the God of Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants, because they trusted in him; and they have changed the king’s word, and delivered their bodies to be burnt, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
Le hoe ty saontsi’ i Nebokadnetsare: Andriañeñe t’i Andrianañahare’ i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò, ie nañirake i anjeli’ey hañaha o mpitoro’e mpiato ama’eo mbore nifotetse amy saontsim-panjakay, namoe ay tsy hitoroñe ndra hitalaho ami’ty ndrahare ila’e naho tsy t’i Andrianañahare’ iareo avao.
29 Wherefore I publish a decree: Every people, tribe, [or] language, that shall speak reproachfully against the God of Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, shall be destroyed, and their houses shall be plundered: because there is no other God who shall be able to deliver thus.
Aa le mitsey iraho, te ho fonga tseratseraheñe ze miteratera an’ Andrianañahare’ i Sadrake naho i Mesake naho i Abednegò, vaho hatao vongan-deotse ty akiba’e, amy te tsy eo ty drahare ila’e mahahaha manahake zao.
30 Then the king promoted Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, in the province of Babylon, and advanced them, and gave them authority to rule over all the Jews who were in his kingdom.
Aa le nonjone’ i mpanjakay am-paritane’ i Bavele t’i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò.
