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.
Wa Nebucadnetsar te fè yon estati fèt an lò ak yon imaj lò, wotè a sila a te swasant koude e lajè li sis koude. Li te fè l monte sou plèn Dura nan pwovens a Babylone.
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.
Epi Nebucadnetsar, wa a, te voye rasanble tout satrap yo, prefè yo, gouvènè yo, konseye yo, trezorye yo, jij yo, tout majistra ak chèf an pwovens yo pou vini nan seremoni dedikas imaj ke Nebucadnetsar, wa a, te fè monte a.
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.
Konsa, satrap yo, prefè yo, gouvènè yo, konseye yo, trezorye yo, jij yo, majistra yo ak tout chèf an pwovens yo te rasanble pou seremoni dedikas imaj ke Nebucadnetsar te fè monte a; epi yo te kanpe devan imaj ke Nebucadnetsar te fè monte a.
4 Then a herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, you peoples, tribes, [and] languages,
Moun ki konn fè piblikasyon pou wa a te pwoklame byen fò: “A nou menm, lòd la bay O pèp yo, nasyon yo ak tout lang yo,
5 at what hour you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, and sackbut, and lute, and every kind of music, you shall fall down and worship the golden image which king Nabuchodonosor has set up.
ke nan moman ke nou tande son a twonpèt la, flit la, bandyo a, saltiyon an, gita a, kònmiz lan, ak tout lòt kalite enstriman mizik yo, nou va pwostène nou pou adore imaj an lò ke Nebucadnetsar, wa a, te fè monte a.
6 And whoever shall not fall down and worship, in the same hour he shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace.
Men, nenpòt moun ki pa pwostène pou adore va, lapoula, vin jete nan yon founo dife byen cho.”
7 And it came to pass when the nations heard the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, and sackbut, and lute, and all kinds of music, all the nations, tribes, [and] languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
Pou sa, lè tout pèp yo te tande son a twonpèt la, flit la, bandyo a, saltiyon an, gita a, kònmiz lan, ak tout lòt kalite enstriman mizik yo, tout pèp yo, nasyon yo ak langaj yo te pwostène e te adore imaj an lò ke Nebucadnetsar, wa a, te fè monte a.
8 Then came near [certain] Chaldeans, and accused the Jews to the king, [saying],
Pou rezon sa a, nan lè sa a, kèk Kaldeyen te vin parèt pou fè pwosè kont Jwif yo.
9 O king, live for ever.
Yo te pale e te di a Nebucadnetsar, wa a: “O wa, viv jis pou tout tan!
10 You, O king, has made a decree that every man who shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, sackbut, and lute, and all kinds of music,
Ou menm, O wa, ou te fè yon dekrè ke tout moun ki tande son a twonpèt la, flit la, bandyo a, saltiyon an, gita a, kònmiz lan, ak tout lòt kalite enstriman mizik yo, yo va pwostène pou adore imaj an lò a.
11 and shall not fall down and worship the golden image, shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace.
Men nenpòt moun ki pa pwostène, va jete nan mitan a yon founo dife byen cho.
12 There are [certain] Jews whom you has appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, who have not obeyed your decree, O king: they serve not your gods, and worship not the golden image which you have set up.
Genyen sèten Jwif ke ou te chwazi sou administrasyon pwovens Babylone nan, Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego. Mesye sila yo, O wa, pa t okipe ou. Yo pa sèvi dye pa ou yo, ni adore imaj an lò ke ou te fè monte a.”
13 Then Nabuchodonosor in wrath and anger commanded to bring Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago: and they were brought before the king.
Epi Nebucadnetsar byen anraje ak kòlè te pase lòd pou mennen Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego. Epi mesye sila yo te mennen devan wa a.
14 And Nabuchodonosor answered and said to them, Is it true, Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, that you serve not my gods, and worship not the golden image which I have set up?
Nebucadnetsar te reponn e te di yo: “Èske se vrè, Schadrac, Méschac ak abed-Nego, ke nou pa sèvi dye mwen yo, ni adore imaj an lò ke mwen te fè monte a?
15 Now then if you be ready, whenever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, and sackbut, and lute, and harmony, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the golden image which I have made; [well]: but if you worship not, in the same hour you shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace; and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand?
Alò, si nou pare, nan moman nou tande son a twonpèt la, flit la, bandyo a, saltiyon an, gita a, kònmiz lan, ak tout lòt kalite enstriman mizik yo, pou nou pwostène e adore imaj ke mwen te fè a, se byen. Men, si nou pa adore, nou va byen vit jete nan yon founo dife byen cho. Epi ki dye ki genyen ki kapab delivre nou sòti nan men mwen?”
16 Then answered Sedrach, Misach [and] Abdenago and said to king Nabuchodonosor, We have no need to answer you concerning this matter.
Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego te reponn a wa a: “O Nebucadnetsar, nou pa oblije bay ou yon repons a kesyon sa a.
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 your hands, O king.
Si se konsa, Bondye nou an, Sila ke nou sèvi a, kapab delivre nou soti nan founo dife byen cho a; epi Li va delivre nou sòti nan men ou, O wa.
18 But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we [will] not serve your gods, nor worship the image which you have set up.
Men menm si li pa fè sa, kite sa vin konnen a ou menm, O wa, ke nou p ap sèvi dye pa ou yo ni adore imaj fèt an lò ke ou te fè monte a.”
19 Then Nabuchodonosor was filled with wrath, and the form of his countenance was changed towards Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago: and he gave orders to heat the furnace seven times [more than usual], until it should burn to the uttermost.
Konsa, Nebucadnetsar te ranpli ak chalè kòlè e figi li te vin move kont Schadrac Méschac ak Abed-Nego. Li te reponn ak bay lòd pou monte chalè founo a sèt fwa plis ke li te konn brile a.
20 And he commanded mighty men to bind Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast [them] into the burning fiery furnace.
Li te kòmande sèten gèrye vanyan ki te nan lame li a pou mare Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego, pou yo ta jete yo nan founo dife byen cho a.
21 Then those men were bound with their coats, and caps, and hose, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace,
Alò, mesye sila yo te mare nèt ak pantalon yo, mayo yo, kas yo, ak tout lòt rad pa yo, e yo te jete nan mitan founo dife byen cho a.
22 forasmuch as the king's word prevailed; and the furnace was made exceeding hot.
Pou rezon sa a, akoz lòd a wa te byen ijan e founo a te vin tèlman cho, flanm dife a te touye mesye ki te pote, fè monte, Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego yo.
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.
Men twa mesye sila yo, Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego te tonbe nan mitan founo dife byen cho a toujou mare.
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.
Epi Nebucadnetsar, wa a, te vin etone e te kanpe vit. Li te di a wo ofisye li yo: “Se pa twa mesye nou te voye jete tou mare nan mitan dife a?” Yo te reponn a wa a: “Byen si, O wa.”
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.
Li te di: “Gade! Mwen wè kat mesye lage k ap mache toupatou nan mitan dife a san yo pa gen anyen e aparans a katriyèm nan se tankou yon fis a dye yo!”
26 Then Nabuchodonosor drew near to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said, Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, you servants of the most high God, proceed forth, and come here. So Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, came forth out of the midst of the fire.
Epi Nebucadnetsar te vin toupre pòt founo dife byen cho a. Li te pale e te di: “Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego, vini deyò, sèvitè a Bondye Pi Wo a, e vini isit!” Konsa, Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego te sòti nan mitan dife a.
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.
Satrap yo, prefè yo, gouvènè yo, ak wo ofisye a wa yo te reyini antoure yo. Yo te wè ke dife a pa t fè okenn efè sou kò a mesye sila yo. Ni menm cheve yo pa t brile, pantalon pa yo pa t abime, ni sant dife a pa t rive sou yo.
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.
Nebucadnetsar te pale. Li te di: “Beni se Bondye a Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego a, ki te voye zanj Li pou te delivre sèvitè Li yo ki te mete konfyans yo nan Li, ki te chanje lòd a wa a e ki te sede bay kò yo pou yo pa ta sèvi ni adore okenn lòt dye sof ke Bondye pa yo a.
29 Therefore 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.
Konsa, mwen fè yon dekrè ke nenpòt pèp, nasyon, oswa lang ki pale yon bagay kont Bondye a Schadrac, Méschac, ak Abed-Nego a, li va chire mòso an mòso, e lakay pa li va redwi a yon pil ranblè, paske nanpwen lòt dye ki kapab delivre konsa.”
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.
Answit, wa a te fè Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego vin pwospere nan pwovens Babylone nan.
