Daniel 3
1 King Nebuchadnezzar made a statue of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and he set it up in the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
Цар Навуходоносор начини златан лик, коме висина беше шездесет лаката, а ширина шест лаката; и намести га у пољу Дури у земљи вавилонској.
2 Then king Nebuchadnezzar sent to gather together the governors, magistrates and judges, generals and sovereigns and commanders, and all the leaders of the regions, to come together for the dedication of the statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar had raised.
И посла цар Навуходоносор да саберу кнезове, управитеље и војводе, старешине, ризничаре, судије, настојнике и све властеље земаљске, да дођу да се освети лик што га постави цар Навуходоносор.
3 Then the governors, magistrates and judges, generals and sovereigns and nobles, who were appointed to power, and all the leaders of the regions were brought together so as to convene for the dedication of the statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar had raised. And so they stood before the statue that king Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Тада се скупише кнезови, управитељи и војводе, старешине, ризничари, судије, настојници, и сви властељи земаљски, да се освети лик шта га постави цар Навуходоносор; и стадоше пред ликом што га постави Навуходоносор.
4 And a herald proclaimed loudly, “To you it is said, to you peoples, tribes, and languages,
А гласник повика гласно: Народи, племена и језици, вама се говори.
5 that in the hour when you will hear the sound of the trumpet and the pipe and the lute, the harp and the psaltery, and of the symphony and every kind of music, you must fall down and adore the gold statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
Кад чујете рог, свирале, китаре, гусле, псалтире, певање и свакојаке свирке, попадајте и поклоните се златном лику, који постави цар Навуходоносор.
6 But if anyone will not bow down and adore, in the same hour he will be cast into a furnace of burning fire.”
А ко не би пао и поклонио се, онај час биће бачен у пећ огњену ужарену.
7 After this, therefore, as soon as all the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the pipe and the lute, the harp and the psaltery, and of the symphony and every kind of music, all the peoples, tribes, and languages fell down and adored the gold statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Зато сви народи како чуше рог, свирале, китаре, гусле, псалтире и свакојаке свирке, попадаше сви народи, племена и језици, и поклонише се златном лику који постави цар Навуходоносор.
8 And soon, about the same time, some influential Chaldeans came and accused the Jews,
А неки Халдеји тај час дођоше и тужише Јевреје,
9 and they said to king Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, live forever.
И проговорише и рекоше цару Навуходоносору: Царе, да си жив до века!
10 You, O king, have established a decree, so that every man who might hear the sound of the trumpet, the pipe and the lute, the harp and the psaltery, and of the symphony and every kind of music, will prostrate himself and adore the gold statue.
Ти си, царе, заповедио, сваки ко чује рог, свирале, китаре, гусле, псалтире, и певање и свакојаке свирке, да падне и поклони се златном лику;
11 But if any man will not fall down and adore, he would be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
А ко не би пао и поклонио се, да се баци у пећ огњену ужарену.
12 Yet there are influential Jews, whom you have appointed over the works of the region of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have scorned your decree. They do not worship your gods, and they do not adore the gold statue which you have raised up.”
А имају људи Јевреји, које си поставио над пословима земље вавилонске, Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго; ти људи, царе, не хају за те, не поштују твоје богове, и не клањају се златном лику, који си поставио.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar, in fury and in wrath, commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego should be brought, and so, without delay, they were brought before the king.
Тада Навуходоносор у гневу и љутини заповеди да доведу Седраха, Мисаха и Авденага. И доведоше те људе пред цара.
14 And king Nebuchadnezzar addressed them and said, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the gold statue, which I have set up?
Навуходоносор проговори и рече им: Је ли истина Седраше, Мисаше и Авденаго, да ви не служите мојим боговима и да се не клањате златном лику који поставих?
15 Therefore, if you are prepared now, whenever you hear the sound of the trumpet, pipe, lute, harp and psaltery, and of the symphony and every kind of music, prostrate yourselves and adore the statue which I have made. But if you will not adore, in the same hour you will be cast into the furnace of burning fire. And who is the God that will rescue you from my hand?”
Јесте ли дакле готови, кад чујете рог, свирале, китаре, гусле, псалтире и певање и свакојаке свирке, да паднете и поклоните се лику који начиних? Ако ли се не поклоните, онај час бићете бачени у пећ огњену ужарену; а који је бог што ће вас избавити из мојих руку?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to king Nebuchadnezzar, “It is not right for us to obey you in this matter.
Одговорише Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, и рекоше цару Навуходоносору: Није нам потребно да ти одговоримо на то.
17 For behold our God, whom we worship, is able to rescue us from the oven of burning fire and to free us from your hands, O king.
Ево, Бог наш, коме ми служимо, може нас избавити из пећи огњене ужарене; и избавиће нас из твојих руку царе.
18 But even if he will not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not worship your gods, nor adore the gold statue, which you have raised up.”
А и да не би, знај, царе, да боговима твојим нећемо служити нити ћемо се поклонити златном лику, који си поставио.
19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with fury and the appearance of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated to seven times its usual fire.
Тада се Навуходоносор напуни гнева, и лице му се промени на Седраха, Мисаха и Авденага, и одговарајући заповеди да се ужари пећ седам пута већма него шта беше обичај.
20 And he ordered the strongest men of his army to bind the feet of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire.
И заповеди најјачим људима што беху у војсци његовој да свежу Седраха, Мисаха и Авденага, и да их баце у пећ огњену ужарену.
21 And immediately these men were bound, and along with their coats, and their hats, and their shoes, and their garments, were cast into the middle of the furnace of burning fire.
Тада свезаше оне људе у плаштима њиховим и у обући и под капама и у свему оделу њиховом, и бацише их у пећ огњену ужарену.
22 But the king’s order was so urgent that the furnace was heated excessively. As a result, those men who had cast in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, were killed by the flame of the fire.
Како заповест царева беше хитна и пећ врло ужарена, пламен огњени уби оне људе који бацаху Седраха, Мисаха и Авденага.
23 But these three men, that is, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, having been bound, fell down in the middle of the oven of burning fire.
А та три човека, Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, падоше усред пећи огњене ужарене.
24 Then king Nebuchadnezzar was astonished, and he quickly got up and said to his nobles: “Did we not cast three men shackled into the midst of the fire?” Answering the king, they said, “True, O king.”
Тада се препаде цар Навуходоносор, и брже устав проговори и рече својим дворанима: Не бацисмо ли три човека свезана у огањ? Одговорише и рекоше цару: Да, царе.
25 He answered and said, “Behold, I see four men unbound and walking in the midst of the fire, and no harm is in them, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of God.”
Одговори и рече: Ено, видим четири човека одрешена где ходе посред огња и није им ништа, и четврти као да је Син Божји.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the entrance of the furnace of burning fire, and he said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the supreme God, come out and approach.” And immediately Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego went out from the midst of the fire.
Тада приступи Навуходоносор на врата огњеној пећи ужареној, и проговори и рече: Седраше, Мисаше и Авденаго, слуге Бога Вишњег, изиђите и ходите. Тада Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго изиђоше исред огња.
27 And when the governors, and the magistrates, and the judges, and the powerful of the king had gathered together, they considered these men because the fire had no power against their bodies, and not a hair of their head had been scorched, and their pants had not been affected, and the smell of the fire had not passed onto them.
И сабраше се кнезови и управитељи и војводе и већници цареви, и видеше те људе где им телу огањ ништа не може, нити им се коса на глави опали, нити им се плашти шта променише, нити задах од огња приону за њих.
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar, bursting out, said, “Blessed is their God, the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who sent his angel and rescued his servants who believed in him. And they altered the verdict of the king, and they delivered up their bodies, so that they would not serve or adore any god except their God.
Проговори Навуходоносор и рече: Да је благословен Бог Седрахов, Мисахов и Авденагов, који посла анђела свог и избави слуге своје, које се у Њ поуздаше и не послушаше заповести цареве и дадоше телеса своја да не би служили нити се поклонили другом богу осим свог Бога.
29 Therefore, this decree is established by me: that every people, tribe, and language, whenever they have spoken blasphemy against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, will perish and their homes will be destroyed. For there is no other God who is able to save in this way.”
Зато заповедам да се сваки ког му драго народа и племена и језика, који би похулио на Бога Седраховог, Мисаховог и Авденаговог, да се исече и кућа да му буде буњиште, јер нема другог бога који може тако избавити.
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
Тада цар узвиси Седраха, Мисаха и Авденага у земљи вавилонској.
