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.
Car Navuhodonosor naèini zlatan lik, kojemu visina bješe šezdeset lakata, a širina šest lakata; i namjesti ga u polju Duri u zemlji Vavilonskoj.
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.
I posla car Navuhodonosor da saberu knezove, upravitelje i vojvode, starješine, riznièare, sudije, nastojnike i sve vlastelje zemaljske, da doðu da se osveti lik što ga postavi car Navuhodonosor.
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.
Tada se skupiše knezovi, upravitelji i vojvode, starješine, riznièari, sudije, nastojnici, i svi vlastelji zemaljski, da se osveti lik što ga postavi car Navuhodonosor; i stadoše pred likom što ga postavi Navuhodonosor.
4 And the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, [O] peoples, nations, and languages,
A glasnik povika iza glasa: narodi, plemena i jezici, vama se govori.
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;
Kad èujete rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire, pjevanje i svakojake svirke, popadajte i poklonite se zlatnomu liku, koji postavi car Navuhodonosor.
6 and whosoever doth not fall down and worship shall that same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
A ko ne bi pao i poklonio se, onaj èas biæe baèen u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
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.
Zato svi narodi kako èuše rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire i svakojake svirke, popadaše svi narodi, plemena i jezici, i pokloniše se zlatnome liku koji postavi car Navuhodonosor.
8 Whereupon at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
A neki Haldeji taj èas doðoše i tužiše Jevreje,
9 They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever!
I progovoriše i rekoše caru Navuhodonosoru: care, da si živ dovijeka!
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;
Ti si, care, zapovjedio, svaki ko èuje rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire, i pjevanje i svakojake svirke, da padne i pokloni se zlatnome liku;
11 and [that] whosoever doth not fall down and worship, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
A ko ne bi pao i poklonio se, da se baci u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
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.
A imaju ljudi Jevreji, koje si postavio nad poslovima zemlje Vavilonske, Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago; ti ljudi, care, ne haju za te, ne poštuju tvojih bogova, i ne klanjaju se zlatnom liku, koji si postavio.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then were these men brought before the king.
Tada Navuhodonosor u gnjevu i ljutini zapovjedi da dovedu Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga. I dovedoše te ljude pred cara.
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?
Navuhodonosor progovori i reèe im: je li istina, Sedraše, Misaše i Avdenago, da vi ne služite mojim bogovima i da se ne klanjate zlatnome liku koji postavih?
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?
Jeste li dakle gotovi, kad èujete rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire i pjevanje i svakojake svirke, da padnete i poklonite se liku koji naèinih? ako li se ne poklonite, onaj èas biæete baèeni u peæ ognjenu užarenu; a koji je bog što æe vas izbaviti iz mojih ruku?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter.
Odgovoriše Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago, i rekoše caru Navuhodonosoru: nije nam trijebe da ti odgovorimo na to.
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.
Evo, Bog naš, kojemu mi služimo, može nas izbaviti iz peæi ognjene užarene; i izbaviæe nas iz tvojih ruku, care.
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.
A i da ne bi, znaj, care, da bogovima tvojim neæemo služiti niti æemo se pokloniti zlatnom liku, koji si postavio.
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.
Tada se Navuhodonosor napuni gnjeva, i lice mu se promijeni na Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga, i odgovarajuæi zapovjedi da se užari peæ sedam puta veæma nego što bješe obièaj.
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.
I zapovjedi najjaèim ljudima što bijahu u vojsci njegovoj da svežu Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga, i da ih bace u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
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.
Tada svezaše one ljude u plaštima njihovijem i u obuæi i pod kapama i u svemu odijelu njihovu, i baciše ih u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
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.
Kako zapovijest careva bješe hitna i peæ vrlo užarena, plamen ognjeni ubi one ljude koji bacahu Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
A ta tri èovjeka, Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago, padoše usred peæi ognjene užarene.
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.
Tada se prepade car Navuhodonosor, i brže ustav progovori i reèe svojim dvoranima: ne bacismo li tri èovjeka svezana u oganj? Odgovoriše i rekoše caru: da, care.
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.
Odgovori i reèe: eno, vidim èetiri èovjeka odriješena gdje hode posred ognja i nije im ništa, i èetvrti kao da je sin Božji.
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.
Tada pristupi Navuhodonosor na vrata ognjenoj peæi užarenoj, i progovori i reèe: Sedraše, Misaše i Avdenago, sluge Boga višnjega, izidite i hodite. Tada Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago izidoše isred ognja.
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.
I sabraše se knezovi i upravitelji i vojvode i vijeænici carevi, i vidješe te ljude gdje im tijelu oganj ništa ne može, niti im se kosa na glavi opali, niti im se plašti što promijeniše, niti zadah od ognja prionu za njih.
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!
Progovori Navuhodonosor i reèe: da je blagosloven Bog Sedrahov, Misahov i Avdenagov, koji posla anðela svojega i izbavi sluge svoje, koje se u nj pouzdaše i ne poslušaše zapovijesti careve i dadoše tjelesa svoja da ne bi služili niti se poklonili drugom bogu osim svojega Boga.
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.
Zato zapovijedam da se svaki kojega mu drago naroda i plemena i jezika, koji bi pohulio na Boga Sedrahova, Misahova i Avdenagova, da se isijeèe i kuæa da mu bude bunište, jer nema drugoga boga koji može tako izbaviti.
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon.
Tada car uzvisi Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga u zemlji Vavilonskoj.
