< Daniel 3 >

1 Nebuchad-nezzar the King made an image of gold, whose height was three score cubits, and the breadth thereof sixe cubites: hee set it vp in the plaine of Dura, in the prouince of Babel.
Wa Nèbikadneza te fè fè yon gwo estati lò. Estati a te gen katrevendis pye wotè ak nèf pye lajè. Li fè yo mete l' kanpe nan mitan plenn Doura a, nan pwovens Babilòn lan.
2 Then Nebuchad-nezzar ye King sent foorth to gather together the nobles, the princes and the dukes, the iudges, the receiuers, the counsellers, the officers, and all the gouernours of the prouinces, that they should come to the dedication of the image, which Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp.
Lèfini, wa a bay lòd pou tout otorite yo: prefè, kòmandan, gouvènè, komisè, prepoze, jij, majistra ansanm ak tout lòt chèf pwovens yo, reyini pou y'a l' nan premye seremoni y'ap fè pou mete estati lò wa a te fè fè a an sèvis.
3 So the nobles, princes and dukes, the iudges, the receiuers, the counsellers, the officers, and all the gouernours of the prouinces were assembled vnto the dedicating of the image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp: and they stood before the image, which Nebuchad-nezzar had set vp.
Se konsa, tout otorite yo te reyini pou gwo fèt premye seremoni an. Yo te kanpe devan estati wa a te fè fè a.
4 Then an herald cried aloude, Be it knowen to you, O people, nations, and languages,
Yonn nan moun ki te konn fè piblikasyon yo pran pale byen fò, li di: -Nou menm moun tout nasyon, moun tout ras ki pale tout kalite lang, men lòd yo ban nou.
5 That when ye heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, ye fall downe and worship the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King hath set vp,
Talè konsa nou pral tande yo kònen twonpèt. Apre sa, yo pral jwe fif, bandjo, gita. Lèfini, yo pral jwe tout lòt enstriman mizik yo ansanm. Lè mizik la konmanse, se pou nou mete ajenou devan estati lò wa Nèbikadneza te fè fè a. Se pou nou adore l'.
6 And whosoeuer falleth not downe and worshippeth, shall the same houre bee cast into the middes of an hote fierie fornace.
Tout moun ki refize mete ajenou devan estati a pou adore l', y'ap pran l' al lage tou vivan anndan yon gwo fou tou limen.
7 Therefore assoone as all the people heard the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and all instruments of musike, all the people, nations, and languages fell downe, and worshipped the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp.
Se konsa, tande moun yo tande twonpèt la ak tout lòt enstriman yo, yo tonbe ajenou devan estati lò wa Nèbikadneza te fè fè a, yo adore l'. Te gen moun tout nasyon ki soti nan tout ras, epi ki pale tout kalite lang.
8 By reason whereof at that same time came men of the Caldeans, and grieuously accused the Iewes.
Lè sa a, gen kèk moun lavil Babilòn ki pwofite al denonse jwif yo.
9 For they spake and said to the King Nebuchad-nezzar, O King, liue for euer.
Yo di wa Nèbikadneza konsa: -Se pou wa a viv pou tout tan!
10 Thou, O King, hast made a decree, that euery man that shall heare the sounde of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, shall fall downe and worship the golden image,
Monwa, ou fè pibliye yon lòd ki mande pou tout moun mete ajenou, pou yo adore estati lò a, lè y'a tande twonpèt ak tout lòt enstriman mizik yo ap jwe.
11 And whosoeuer falleth not downe, and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the mids of an hote fierie fornace.
Si yon moun pa mete ajenou pou adore estati a, se pou yo lage l' tout vivan nan gwo fou tou limen an.
12 There are certeine Iewes whome thou hast set ouer the charge of ye prouince of Babel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: these men, O King, haue not regarded thy commandement, neither wil they serue thy gods, nor worship the golden image, that thou hast set vp.
Enben! Gen twa jwif ou te mete reskonsab pwovens Babilòn lan. Se Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego. Mesye sa yo pa okipe lòd ou bay la, monwa. Yo pa adore bondye ou la. Yo pa mete ajenou devan estati lò ou te fè fè a.
13 Then Nebuchad-nezzar in his anger and wrath commanded that they should bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: so these men were brought before the King.
Lè Nèbikadneza tande sa, li move anpil, li fè gwo kòlè, li bay lòd pou yo mennen Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego ba li. Lamenm, yo mennen twa mesye yo devan wa a.
14 And Nebuchad-nezzar spake, and said vnto them, What disorder? will not you, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego serue my god, nor worship the golden image, that I haue set vp?
Wa a di yo konsa: -Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego, èske se vre nou derefize adore bondye mwen yo, nou derefize mete ajenou devan estati lò mwen te fè fè a?
15 Now therefore are ye ready when ye heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, to fall downe, and worship the image, which I haue made? for if ye worship it not, ye shall be cast immediatly into the middes of an hote fierie fornace: for who is that God, that can deliuer you out of mine handes?
Bon, koulye a, tande n'a tande twonpèt yo ak lòt enstriman mizik yo ap jwe, se pou nou mete ajenou pou n' adore estati mwen fè fè a. Si nou pa fè sa, y'ap jete nou nan gwo fou tou limen an. Pa gen bondye ki pou delivre nou anba men m'.
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the King, O Nebuchad-nezzar, we are not carefull to answere thee in this matter.
Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego reponn, yo di wa Nèbikadneza konsa: -Monwa, nou p'ap eseye defann tèt nou.
17 Beholde, our God whom we serue, is able to deliuer vs from the hote fierie fornace, and hee will deliuer vs out of thine hand, O King.
Si Bondye n'ap sèvi a ka wete nou nan gwo fou tou limen an, si li ka delivre nou tou anba men ou, l'ap fè l'.
18 But if not, bee it knowen to thee, O King, that wee will not serue thy gods, nor worship the golden image, which thou hast set vp.
Men, menm si li pa vin delivre nou, monwa, nou tou di ou nou p'ap adore bondye pa ou yo, ni nou p'ap mete ajenou devan estati lò ou te fè fè a.
19 Then was Nebuchad-nezzar full of rage, and the forme of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore hee charged and commanded that they should heate the fornace at once seuen times more then it was wont to be heat.
Lè wa Nèbikadneza tande pawòl sa yo, li fè yon sèl kolè, li move sou Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego. Li bay lòd pou yo chofe fou a sèt fwa plis pase jan yo te konn fè l' la.
20 And hee charged the most valiant men of warre that were in his armie, to binde Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the hote fierie fornace.
Lèfini, li mande pou kèk sòlda ki pi gwonèg nan lame li a vin mare Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego byen mare, apre sa pou lage yo jete nan gwo fou tou limen an.
21 So these men were bounde in their coates, their hosen, and their clokes, with their other garments, and cast into the middes of the hote fierie fornace.
Se konsa yo pran mesye yo, yo mare yo byen mare, yo jete yo nan gwo fou tou limen an ak tout rad sou yo, soulye nan pye yo ak gwo mouchwa mare tèt yo.
22 Therefore, because the Kings commandement was straite, that the fornace should be exceeding hote, the flame of the fire slew those men that brought foorth Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
Lòd wa a te bay la te sevè, kifè yo te chofe fou a anpil anpil. Se konsa flanm dife ki t'ap soti nan fwa a boule gad ki t'ap jete mesye yo nan dife a. Yo mouri.
23 And these three men Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego fell downe bound into the middes of the hote fierie fornace.
Twa mesye yo menm, Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego, tonbe tou mare nan gwo fou tou limen an.
24 Then Nebuchad-nezzar the King was astonied and rose vp in haste, and spake, and saide vnto his counsellers, Did not wee cast three men bound into the middes of the fire? Who answered and said vnto the King, It is true, O King.
Apre sa, wa Nèbikadneza rete konsa li leve voup, tankou yon moun ki sezi. Li mande moun ki te avè l' yo: -Eske se pa t' twa moun tou mare nou te lage nan gwo fou tou limen an? Yo reponn li: -Se sa wi, monwa!
25 And he answered, and said, Loe, I see foure men loose, walking in the middes of the fire, and they haue no hurt, and the forme of the fourth is like the sonne of God.
Wa a di yo ankò: -Ki jan fè se kat moun mwen wè k'ap mache nan dife a? Yo yonn pa mare. Dife a pa fè yo anyen. Katriyèm moun lan menm sanble yon pitit bondye yo.
26 Then the King Nebuchad-nezzar came neere to the mouth of the hote fierie fornace, and spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the seruants of the hie God goe foorth and come hither: so Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came foorth of the middes of the fire.
Wa Nèbikadneza pwoche bò pòt gwo fou a epi li rele: -Chadrak! Mechak! Abèdnego! Sèvitè Bondye ki nan syèl la! Soti vin jwenn mwen! Epi mesye yo mache soti nan dife a.
27 Then the nobles, princes and dukes, and the Kings counsellers came together to see these men, because the fire had no power ouer their bodies: for not an heare of their head was burnt, neither was their coates changed, nor any smelll of fire came vpon them.
Tout gwo zotobre yo: prefè, kòmandan, gouvènè ansanm ak tout lòt chèf yo sanble pou yo wè twa mesye yo. Dife a pa t' fè kò yo anyen. Yon branch cheve nan tèt yo pa t' boule, rad sou yo pa te menm flambe. Pa t' gen okenn lafimen sou yo.
28 Wherefore Nebuchad-nezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who hath sent his Angel, and deliuered his seruants, that put their trust in him, and haue changed the Kings commandement, and yeelded their bodies rather then they would serue or worship any god, saue their owne God.
Wa a di konsa: -Lwanj pou Bondye Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego a! Li voye zanj li delivre sèvitè l' yo ki te mete konfyans yo nan li. Yo te derefize obeyi lòd mwen. Yo te pito mouri pase pou yo ta mete ajenou pou adore yon bondye ki pa bondye pa yo a.
29 Therefore I make a decree, that euery people, nation, and language, which speake any blasphemie against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, shalbe drawen in pieces, and their houses shall be made a iakes, because there is no god that can deliuer after this sort.
Koulye a, men lòd mwen bay pou tout pèp, moun tout peyi ak moun tout ras ki pale lòt lang yo: si yonn nan nou pale Bondye Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego a mal, se pou yo depatcha l'. Lèfini, se pou yo kraze kay li nèt mete atè. Paske pa gen lòt bondye ki ka delivre moun konsa.
30 Then the King promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the prouince of Babel.
Wa a moute Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego grad nan pwovens Babilòn lan.
