Daniel 3
1 King Nebuchadnezzar had a gold statue made that was sixty cubits tall and six cubits wide. He had it set up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
| نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ ٱلْمَلِكُ صَنَعَ تِمْثَالًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ طُولُهُ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعًا وَعَرْضُهُ سِتُّ أَذْرُعٍ، وَنَصَبَهُ فِي بُقْعَةِ دُورَا فِي وِلَايَةِ بَابِلَ. | ١ |
2 Then he summoned the provincial governors, prefects, local governors, counselors, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the statue he had set up.
| ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِيَجْمَعَ ٱلْمَرَازِبَةَ وَٱلشِّحَنَ وَٱلْوُلَاةَ وَٱلْقُضَاةَ وَٱلْخَزَنَةَ وَٱلْفُقَهَاءَ وَٱلْمُفْتِينَ وَكُلَّ حُكَّامِ ٱلْوِلَايَاتِ، لِيَأْتُوا لِتَدْشِينِ ٱلتِّمْثَالِ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبَهُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ ٱلْمَلِكُ. | ٢ |
3 They all came to the dedication of the statue Nebuchadnezzar had set up and stood in front of it.
| حِينَئِذٍ ٱجْتَمَعَ ٱلْمَرَازِبَةُ وَٱلشِّحَنُ وَٱلْوُلَاةُ وَٱلْقُضَاةُ وَٱلْخَزَنَةُ وَٱلْفُقَهَاءُ وَٱلْمُفْتُونَ وَكُلُّ حُكَّامِ ٱلْوِلَايَاتِ لِتَدْشِينِ ٱلتِّمْثَالِ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبَهُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ ٱلْمَلِكُ، وَوَقَفُوا أَمَامَ ٱلتِّمْثَالِ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبَهُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ. | ٣ |
4 Then a herald announced in a loud voice, “People of all nations and languages, pay attention to the king's command!
| وَنَادَى مُنَادٍ بِشِدَّةٍ: «قَدْ أُمِرْتُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلشُّعُوبُ وَٱلْأُمَمُ وَٱلْأَلْسِنَةُ، | ٤ |
5 As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of musical instruments, you must fall to the ground and worship the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
| عِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُونَ صَوْتَ ٱلْقَرْنِ وَٱلنَّايِ وَٱلْعُودِ وَٱلرَّبَابِ وَٱلسِّنْطِيرِ وَٱلْمِزْمَارِ وَكُلِّ أَنْوَاعِ ٱلْعَزْفِ، أَنْ تَخِرُّوا وَتَسْجُدُوا لِتِمْثَالِ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبَهُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ ٱلْمَلِكُ. | ٥ |
6 Anyone who doesn't immediately fall down and worship will be thrown into a furnace of blazing fire.”
| وَمَنْ لَا يَخِرُّ وَيَسْجُدُ، فَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ يُلْقَى فِي وَسَطِ أَتُّونِ نَارٍ مُتَّقِدَةٍ». | ٦ |
7 So when all the people heard the sound of the musical instruments they all fell down—the people of all nations and languages worshiped the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
| لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ وَقْتَمَا سَمِعَ كُلُّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ صَوْتَ ٱلْقَرْنِ وَٱلنَّايِ وَٱلْعُودِ وَٱلرَّبَابِ وَٱلسِّنْطِيرِ وَكُلِّ أَنْوَاعِ ٱلْعَزْفِ، خَرَّ كُلُّ ٱلشُّعُوبِ وَٱلْأُمَمِ وَٱلْأَلْسِنَةِ وَسَجَدُوا لِتِمْثَالِ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبَهُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ ٱلْمَلِكُ. | ٧ |
8 Right then some of the astrologers came forward and made accusations against the Jews.
| لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ تَقَدَّمَ حِينَئِذٍ رِجَالٌ كَلْدَانِيُّونَ وَٱشْتَكَوْا عَلَى ٱلْيَهُودِ، | ٨ |
9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “May Your Majesty the king live forever!
| أَجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لِلْمَلِكِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، عِشْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ! | ٩ |
10 Your Majesty has decreed that everyone who hears the sound of the musical instruments shall fall down and worship the gold statue,
| أَنْتَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ قَدْ أَصْدَرْتَ أَمْرًا بِأَنَّ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ يَسْمَعُ صَوْتَ ٱلْقَرْنِ وَٱلنَّايِ وَٱلْعُودِ وَٱلرَّبَابِ وَٱلسِّنْطِيرِ وَٱلْمِزْمَارِ وَكُلِّ أَنْوَاعِ ٱلْعَزْفِ، يَخِرُّ وَيَسْجُدُ لِتِمْثَالِ ٱلذَّهَبِ. | ١٠ |
11 and that anyone who does not shall be thrown into a furnace of blazing fire.
| وَمَنْ لَا يَخِرُّ وَيَسْجُدُ فَإِنَّهُ يُلْقَى فِي وَسَطِ أَتُّونِ نَارٍ مُتَّقِدَةٍ. | ١١ |
12 But there are some Jews that you placed in charge of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—who pay no attention to Your Majesty's decree. They do not serve your gods and will not worship the gold statue you set up.”
| يُوجَدُ رِجَالٌ يَهُودٌ، ٱلَّذِينَ وَكَّلْتَهُمْ عَلَى أَعْمَالِ وِلَايَةِ بَابِلَ: شَدْرَخُ وَمِيشَخُ وَعَبْدَنَغُوَ. هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ لَمْ يَجْعَلُوا لَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱعْتِبَارًا. آلِهَتُكَ لَا يَعْبُدُونَ، وَلِتِمْثَالِ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبْتَ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ». | ١٢ |
13 This made Nebuchadnezzar absolutely furious. “Bring me Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego!” he demanded. So they were brought before the king.
| حِينَئِذٍ أَمَرَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ بِغَضَبٍ وَغَيْظٍ بِإِحْضَارِ شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُوَ. فَأَتَوْا بِهَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالِ قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ١٣ |
14 “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, are you deliberately refusing to serve my gods and worship the gold statue I set up?” asked the king.
| فَأَجَابَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَعَمُّدًا يَا شَدْرَخُ وَمِيشَخُ وَعَبْدَنَغُوَ لَا تَعْبُدُونَ آلِهَتِي وَلَا تَسْجُدُونَ لِتِمْثَالِ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبْتُ! | ١٤ |
15 “Are you ready now to fall down and worship the statue I had made when you hear the sound of the musical instruments? If you don't, you will be immediately thrown into the furnace of blazing fire, and there's no god who can save you from my power!”
| فَإِنْ كُنْتُمُ ٱلْآنَ مُسْتَعِدِّينَ عِنْدَمَا تَسْمَعُونَ صَوْتَ ٱلْقَرْنِ وَٱلنَّايِ وَٱلْعُودِ وَٱلرَّبَابِ وَٱلسِّنْطِيرِ وَٱلْمِزْمَارِ وَكُلَّ أَنْوَاعِ ٱلْعَزْفِ إِلَى أَنْ تَخِرُّوا وَتَسْجُدُوا لِلتِّمْثَالِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلْتُهُ. وَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْجُدُوا فَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ تُلْقَوْنَ فِي وَسَطِ أَتُّونِ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلْمُتَّقِدَةِ. وَمَنْ هُوَ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُنْقِذُكُمْ مِنْ يَدَيَّ؟». | ١٥ |
16 “King Nebuchadnezzar, we don't need to defend ourselves before you over this,” Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied.
| فَأَجَابَ شَدْرَخُ وَمِيشَخُ وَعَبْدَنَغُوَ وَقَالُوا لِلمَلِكِ: «يَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ، لَا يَلْزَمُنَا أَنْ نُجِيبَكَ عَنْ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ. | ١٦ |
17 “If our God whom we serve so wishes, he is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire. He will save us from your power, Your Majesty.
| هُوَذَا يُوجَدُ إِلَهُنَا ٱلَّذِي نَعْبُدُهُ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُنَجِّيَنَا مِنْ أَتُّونِ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلْمُتَّقِدَةِ، وَأَنْ يُنْقِذَنَا مِنْ يَدِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ. | ١٧ |
18 But even if he does not, Your Majesty needs to know that we would never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”
| وَإِلَّا فَلْيَكُنْ مَعْلُومًا لَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، أَنَّنَا لَا نَعْبُدُ آلِهَتَكَ وَلَا نَسْجُدُ لِتِمْثَالِ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّذِي نَصَبْتَهُ». | ١٨ |
19 This made Nebuchadnezzar so angry with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that his face twisted in rage. “Make the furnace seven times hotter than normal!” he ordered.
| حِينَئِذٍ ٱمْتَلَأَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ غَيْظًا وَتَغَيَّرَ مَنْظَرُ وَجْهِهِ عَلَى شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُوَ، فَأَجَابَ وَأَمَرَ بِأَنْ يَحْمُوا ٱلْأَتُونَ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا كَانَ مُعْتَادًا أَنْ يُحْمَى. | ١٩ |
20 Then he commanded some of his strongest soldiers, “Tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the furnace of blazing fire!”
| وَأَمَرَ جَبَابِرَةَ ٱلْقُوَّةِ فِي جَيْشِهِ بِأَنْ يُوثِقُوا شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُوَ وَيُلْقُوهُمْ فِي أَتُّونِ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلْمُتَّقِدَةِ. | ٢٠ |
21 So they were tied up, fully dressed in their coats, trousers, turbans, and other clothes, and thrown into the furnace of blazing fire.
| ثُمَّ أُوثِقَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ فِي سَرَاوِيلِهِمْ وَأَقْمِصَتِهِمْ وَأَرْدِيَتِهِمْ وَلِبَاسِهِمْ وَأُلْقُوا فِي وَسَطِ أَتُّونِ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلْمُتَّقِدَةِ. | ٢١ |
22 Because the king's command was so harsh in making the furnace so extremely hot, the flames killed the soldiers who threw them in.
| وَمِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّ كَلِمَةَ ٱلْمَلِكِ شَدِيدَةٌ وَٱلْأَتُونَ قَدْ حَمِيَ جِدًّا، قَتَلَ لَهِيبُ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلرِّجَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ رَفَعُوا شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُوَ. | ٢٢ |
23 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, still tied up, fell into the furnace of blazing fire.
| وَهَؤُلَاءِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ ٱلرِّجَالِ، شَدْرَخُ وَمِيشَخُ وَعَبْدَنَغُوَ، سَقَطُوا مُوثَقِينَ فِي وَسَطِ أَتُّونِ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلْمُتَّقِدَةِ. | ٢٣ |
24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar suddenly jumped up in amazement. “Didn't we throw three men tied up into the furnace?” he asked his advisors. “Yes, that's right, Your Majesty,” they replied.
| حِينَئِذٍ تَحَيَّرَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَقَامَ مُسْرِعًا فَأَجَابَ وَقَالَ لِمُشِيرِيهِ: «أَلَمْ نُلْقِ ثَلَاثَةَ رِجَالٍ مُوثَقِينَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ؟» فَأَجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لِلْمَلِكِ: «صَحِيحٌ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ». | ٢٤ |
25 “Look!” he cried out. “How is it that I can see four men, not tied up, walking around in the fire and not being burned? And the fourth one looks like a god!”
| أَجَابَ وَقَالَ: «هَا أَنَا نَاظِرٌ أَرْبَعَةَ رِجَالٍ مَحْلُولِينَ يَتَمَشَّوْنَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ وَمَا بِهِمْ ضَرَرٌ، وَمَنْظَرُ ٱلرَّابِعِ شَبِيهٌ بِٱبْنِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ». | ٢٥ |
26 Nebuchadnezzar went towards the door of the furnace of blazing fire. “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” he shouted. So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire.
| ثُمَّ ٱقْتَرَبَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ إِلَى بَابِ أَتُّونِ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلْمُتَّقِدَةِ وَأَجَابَ، فَقَالَ: «يَا شَدْرَخُ وَمِيشَخُ وَعَبْدَنَغُو، يَا عَبِيدَ ٱللهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، ٱخْرُجُوا وَتَعَالَوْا». فَخَرَجَ شَدْرَخُ وَمِيشَخُ وَعَبْدَنَغُو مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلنَّارِ. | ٢٦ |
27 The provincial governors, prefects, local governors, and the king's advisors gathered around them and saw that the fire had not harmed them. Their hair wasn't singed, their clothes weren't scorched—there wasn't even the smell of smoke!
| فَٱجْتَمَعَتِ ٱلْمَرَازِبَةُ وَٱلشِّحَنُ وَٱلْوُلَاةُ وَمُشِيرُو ٱلْمَلِكِ وَرَأَوْا هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ تَكُنْ لِلنَّارِ قُوَّةٌ عَلَى أَجْسَامِهِمْ، وَشَعْرَةٌ مِنْ رُؤُوسِهِمْ لَمْ تَحْتَرِقْ، وَسَرَاوِيلُهُمْ لَمْ تَتَغَيَّرْ، وَرَائِحَةُ ٱلنَّارِ لَمْ تَأْتِ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٢٧ |
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel and he rescued his servants who trusted in him! They disobeyed my royal command, putting their lives on the line, and refused to worship any other gods except their God.
| فَأَجَابَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ وَقَالَ: «تَبَارَكَ إِلَهُ شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُوَ، ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَ مَلَاكَهُ وَأَنْقَذَ عَبِيدَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّكَلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَغَيَّرُوا كَلِمَةَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَأَسْلَمُوا أَجْسَادَهُمْ لِكَيْلَا يَعْبُدُوا أَوْ يَسْجُدُوا لِإِلَهٍ غَيْرِ إِلَهِهِمْ. | ٢٨ |
29 Consequently I am issuing a decree that if anyone of any nation or language speaks disrespectfully about the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego they will be torn to pieces and their houses will be destroyed. There is no other God who is able to save like this!”
| فَمِنِّي قَدْ صَدَرَ أَمْرٌ بِأَنَّ كُلَّ شَعْبٍ وَأُمَّةٍ وَلِسَانٍ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلسُّوءِ عَلَى إِلَهِ شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُوَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يُصَيَّرُونَ إِرْبًا إِرْبًا، وَتُجْعَلُ بُيُوتُهُمْ مَزْبَلَةً، إِذْ لَيْسَ إِلَهٌ آخَرُ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُنَجِّيَ هَكَذَا». | ٢٩ |
30 Then Nebuchadnezzar promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, giving them even greater responsibilities in the province of Babylon.
| حِينَئِذٍ قَدَّمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُوَ فِي وِلَايَةِ بَابِلَ. | ٣٠ |
