< 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.
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 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 (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 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.
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 And a herald proclaimed loudly, “To you it is said, to you peoples, tribes, and languages,
И проповедник вопияше со крепостию: вам глаголется, народи, людие, племена, языцы:
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.
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 But if anyone will not bow down and adore, in the same hour he will be cast into a furnace of burning fire.”
и иже аще не пад поклонится, в той час ввержен будет в пещь огнем горящую.
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.
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 And soon, about the same time, some influential Chaldeans came and accused the Jews,
Тогда приступиша мужие Халдейстии и оболгаша Иудеев,
9 and they said to king Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, live forever.
отвещавше реша Навуходоносору цареви: царю, во веки живи:
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.
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 But if any man will not fall down and adore, he would be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
и не пад поклонится телу златому, ввержен будет в пещь огнем горящую.
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.”
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 fury and in wrath, commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego should be brought, and so, without delay, they were brought before the king.
Тогда Навуходоносор в ярости и гневе рече привести Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго. И приведени быша пред царя.
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?
И отвеща Навуходоносор и рече им: аще воистинну, Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, богом моим не служите и телу златому, еже поставих, не покланяетеся?
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?”
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 king Nebuchadnezzar, “It is not right for us to obey you in this matter.
И отвещаша Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, глаголюще царю Навуходоносору: не требе нам о глаголе сем отвещати тебе:
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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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 мужем сильным крепостию рече: оковавше Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго, вверзите в пещь огнем горящую.
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.
Тогда мужие онии оковани быша с гащами своими и покрывалы, и сапогми и со одеждами своими, и ввержени быша посреде пещи огнем горящия.
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.
Понеже глагол царев превозможе, и пещь разжжена бысть преизлишше: и мужей оных, иже ввергоша Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго, уби пламень огненный.
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.
И мужие тии трие, Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, падоша посреде пещи огнем горящия оковани,
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.”
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, “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.”
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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, 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.”
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.
