< Daniel 3 >

1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, [and] its breadth six cubits; he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
Nebokadnezara mpanjaka nanao sariolona volamena, enim-polo hakiho ny hahavony, ary enina hakiho ny sakany; dia natsangany teo amin’ ny tany lemaka Dora tamin’ ny fehin’ i Babylona izany.
2 And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the justices, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Ary Nebokadnezara mpanjaka naniraka nampamory ny solom-panjaka sy ny mpanapaka sy ny governora sy ny andriambaventy sy ny mpitahiry ny volam-panjakana sy ny mpahay lalàna sy ny mpitsara ary ny komandy isan-tokony mba hanamasina ilay sariolona efa natsangan’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka.
3 Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the justices, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Dia nivory hanamasina ny sariolona izay efa natsangan’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjakan’ ny solom-panjaka sy ny mpanapaka sy ny governora sy ny andriambaventy sy ny mpitahiry ny volam-panjakana sy ny mpahay lalàna sy ny mpitsara ary ny komandy isan-tokony, ka dia nitsangana tandrifin’ ny sariolona izay efa natsangan’ i Nebokadnezara ireo.
4 And the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, [O] peoples, nations, and languages,
Ary dia nisy mpikabary niantso mafy hoe: Izao no lazaina aminareo, ry fokom-pirenena, ry firenena sy samy hafa fiteny:
5 that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up;
Rehefa mandre ny fanenon’ ny anjomara sy ny sobaba sy ny lokanga sy ny samboka sy ny valiha sy ny symponia ary ny zava-maneno isan-karazany ianareo, dia miankohofa, ka mivavaha amin’ ny sariolona volamena izay efa natsangan’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka,
6 and whosoever doth not fall down and worship shall that same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
ary na iza na iza no tsy miankohoka sy tsy mivavaka dia hatsipy miaraka amin’ izay ho ao anatin’ ny lafaoro misy afo mirehitra.
7 Therefore at that time when all the peoples heard the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down [and] worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Koa tamin’ ny fotoana nandrenesan’ ny fokom-pirenena rehetra ny fanenon’ ny anjomara sy ny sobaba sy ny lokanga sy ny samboka sy ny valiha ary ny zava-maneno isan-karazany, dia niankohoka sy nivavaka tamin’ ny sariolona volamena izay efa natsangan’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena ary ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra.
8 Whereupon at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
Ary tamin’ izay dia nisy Kaldeana sasany nanatona ka niampanga ny Jiosy.
9 They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever!
Dia niteny izy ka nanao tamin’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka hoe: Ry mpanjaka ô, ho velona mandrakizay anie ianao.
10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;
Ry mpanjaka ô, ianao efa nanao lalàna fa ny olona rehetra izay mandre ny fanenon’ ny anjomara sy ny sobaba sy ny lokanga sy ny samboka sy ny valiha sy ny symponia ary ny zava-maneno isan-karazany dia hiankohoka hivavaka amin’ ny sariolona volamena;
11 and [that] whosoever doth not fall down and worship, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
fa izay tsy miankohoka sy tsy mivavaka kosa dia hatsipy ao anatin’ ny lafaoro misy afo mirehitra.
12 There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: these men, O king, regard thee not; they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set up.
Koa misy Jiosy izay nataonao ho tonian’ ny raharaha amin’ i Babylona sy ny fehiny, dia Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego; ireo lehilahy ireo tsy mba manaiky ny teninao akory, ry mpanjaka ô: tsy mba manompo ny andriamanitrao izy, na mivavaka amin’ ny sariolona volamena izay efa natsanganao.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then were these men brought before the king.
Dia niteny tamin’ ny fahavinirana sy ny fahatezerana Nebokadnezara, ka nasainy nalaina Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego. Dia nentiny teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka ireo lehilahy ireo.
14 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said unto them, Is it of purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that ye serve not my god, nor worship the golden image that I have set up?
Dia niteny Nebokadnezara ka nanao taminy hoe: Moa fanahy ninianareo va, ry Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego, no tsy mba anompoanareo ny andriamanitro, na ivavahanareo amin’ ny sariolona volamena izay natsangako?
15 Now if ye be ready at the time that ye hear the sound of the cornet, pipe, lute, sambuca, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, [well]: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast that same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
Ankehitriny raha miomana ianareo amin’ izay handrenesanareo ny fanenon’ ny anjomara sy ny samboka sy ny valiha sy ny symponia sy ny Sobaba sy ny lokanga ary ny zava-maneno isan-karazany ka miankohoka sy mivavaka amin’ ny sariolona izay nataoko, dia tsara izany; fa raha tsy mety mivavaka kosa ianareo, dia hatsipy miaraka amin’ izay ho ao anatin’ ny lafaoro misy afo mirehitra; ary iza moa izany Andriamanitra hahavonjy anareo amin’ ny tanako izany?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter.
Dia namaly Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego ka nanao tamin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Ry Nebokadnezara, tsy misy antony tokony hamalianay anao akory ny amin’ izany zavatra izany.
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.
Indro, Andriamanitra Izay tompoinay dia mahavonjy anay amin’ ny lafaoro misy afo mirehitra sady hamonjy anay amin’ ny tananao, ry mpanjaka ô.
18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set up.
Ary na dia tsy izany aza, aoka ho fantatrao, ry mpanjaka ô, fa ny andriamanitrao dia tsy hotompoinay, ary ny sariolona volamena efa natsanganao dia tsy hivavahanay.
19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
Dia feno fahatezerana Nebokadnezara, ka niova ny tarehiny tamin’ i Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego, dia nasainy nafanaina ho impito mihoatra noho ny famana azy ny lafaoro.
20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
Ary izay lehilahy matanjaka indrindra tamin’ ny miaramilany no nasainy namatotra an’ i Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego sy nanipy azy tao anatin’ ny lafaoro nisy afo mirehitra.
21 Then these men were bound in their hosen, their tunics, and their cloaks, and their garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Dia nafatotra ireo lehilahy ireo, nefa mbola teny aminy ihany ny lobany sy ny akanjony ary ny kapitiny mbamin’ ny fitafiany hafa koa, ka dia natsipy teo anatin’ ny lafaoro nisy afo mirehitra izy;
22 Forasmuch as the king's commandment was rigorous, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that had taken up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
ary satria mafy ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka, ka natao mahamay indrindra ny lafaoro, dia matin’ ny lelafo ireny lehilahy izay nanipy an’ i Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Ary izy telo lahy ireo, Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego, dia voatsipy am-patorana teo anatin’ ny lafaoro nisy afo mirehitra.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste; he spoke and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king.
Dia talanjona Nebokadnezara mpanjaka ary nitsangana faingana izy ka niteny tamin’ ny mpanolo-tsainy hoe: Moa tsy telo lahy mifatotra va no natsipintsika tao anatin’ ny afo? Dia namaly ny mpanjaka ireo ka nanao hoe: Marina izany, ry mpanjaka ô.
25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of God.
Ary hoy izy: Ka no indro aho mahita efa-dahy tsy mifatotra, mandehandeha eo anaty afo, nefa tsy maninona tsy maninona akory izy; ary ny fijery ilay fahefatra dia toa zanak’ ireo andriamanitra.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the opening of the burning fiery furnace; he spoke and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come [hither]. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came forth from the midst of the fire.
Dia nanatona ny varavaran’ ny lafaoro nisy afo mirehitra Nebokadnezara ka niantso hoe: Ry Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego, mpanompon’ Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra, mivoaha, ka avia atỳ. Dia nivoaka avy teo anatin’ ny afo Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego.
27 And the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had had no power, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their hosen changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.
Dia nifanatona ny solo-mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka sy ny governora ary ny mpanolotsain’ ny mpanjaka ka nahita ireo lehilahy ireo, fa tsy nanan-kery hampaninona ny tenany akory ny afo, na nisy singam-bolo nikainkona tamin’ ny lohany, na niova ny lobany, ary tsy nisy fofon’ afo akory taminy.
28 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and who changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God!
Nebokadnezara niteny ka nanao hoe: Isaorana anie Andriamanitr’ i Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego, Izay naniraka ny anjeliny hamonjy ny mpanompony izay natoky Azy ka nandika ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka ary nanolotra ny tenany tsy hanompo na hivavaka amin’ izay andriamani-kafa, afa-tsy Andriamaniny ihany.
29 Therefore I make a decree, that in every people, nation, and language, he who shall speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and his house shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that is able to deliver after this sort.
Ka dia manao lalàna aho fa ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena sy ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra izay manao teny tsy mety ny amin’ Andriamanitr’ i Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego dia hotetitetehina, ary hatao trano fivoahana ny tranony; fa tsy misy andriamani-kafa mahavonjy tahaka izao.
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon.
Ary Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego dia nasandratry ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Babylona sy ny fehiny.
