< 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.
Mokonzi Nabukodonozori asalisaki ekeko moko ya wolo, oyo ezalaki na bametele pene tuku misato na bosanda mpe bametele pene misato na mokuse. Atelemisaki yango kati na etando ya Dura, na etuka ya Babiloni.
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.
Abengisaki bayangeli oyo atiaki na bituka, bakalaka oyo babatelaka biloko ya mokonzi, bayangeli, bapesi toli, babateli bomengo ya mokonzi, bato ya mibeko, basambisi mpe bakalaka nyonso ya bituka, mpo ete baya na feti ya kobandisa losambo ya ekeko oyo mokonzi Nabukodonozori asalisaki.
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.
Boye, bayangeli oyo atiaki na bituka, bakalaka oyo babatelaka biloko ya mokonzi, bayangeli, bapesi toli, babateli ya bomengo ya mokonzi, bato ya mibeko, basambisi mpe bakalaka nyonso ya bituka basanganaki mpo na feti ya kobandisa losambo ya ekeko oyo mokonzi Nabukodonozori asalisaki, mpe batelemaki liboso na yango.
4 Then an herald cried aloude, Be it knowen to you, O people, nations, and languages,
Molobeli ya mokonzi atatolaki na mongongo makasi: — Bino bato ya bikolo nyonso mpe ya nkota nyonso, tala makambo oyo bosengeli kosala:
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,
« Tango kaka bokoyoka lolaka ya kelelo, ya flite, ya lindanda ya moke, ya lindanda, ya nzenze, ya fanfari mpe makelele ya lolenge nyonso ya bibetelo mindule, bosengeli kofukama mpo na kogumbamela ekeko ya wolo oyo mokonzi Nabukodonozori asalisi.
6 And whosoeuer falleth not downe and worshippeth, shall the same houre bee cast into the middes of an hote fierie fornace.
Moto nyonso oyo akoboya kofukama mpo na kogumbamela ekeko yango, bakobwaka ye mbala moko kati na libulu ya moto. »
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.
Yango wana, tango kaka bayokaki lolaka ya kelelo, ya flite, ya lindanda ya moke, ya lindanda, ya nzenze, ya fanfari mpe makelele ya bibetelo mindule lolenge nyonso, bato ya bikolo nyonso, ya mikili nyonso mpe ya nkota nyonso bafukamaki mpo na kogumbamela ekeko ya wolo oyo mokonzi Nabukodonozori asalisaki.
8 By reason whereof at that same time came men of the Caldeans, and grieuously accused the Iewes.
Kaka na tango yango, ndambo ya bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto bayaki kofunda Bayuda.
9 For they spake and said to the King Nebuchad-nezzar, O King, liue for euer.
Balobaki na mokonzi Nabukodonozori: — Oh mokonzi, tika ete owumela na bomoi seko na seko!
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,
Oh mokonzi, opesaki mitindo ete moto nyonso oyo akoyoka lolaka ya kelelo, ya flite, ya lindanda ya moke, ya lindanda, ya nzenze, ya fanfari mpe makelele ya lolenge nyonso ya bibetelo mindule afukama mpo na kogumbamela ekeko ya wolo;
11 And whosoeuer falleth not downe, and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the mids of an hote fierie fornace.
mpe ete moto nyonso oyo akoboya kofukama mpo na kogumbamela ekeko yango, babwaka ye kati na libulu ya moto!
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.
Kasi, mokonzi, ezali na ndambo ya Bayuda oyo okomisaki bayangeli na etuka ya Babiloni: Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego, oyo bazali kotosa yo ata moke te: bazali kosalela banzambe na yo te mpe kogumbamela te ekeko ya wolo oyo osali.
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.
Mokonzi Nabukodonozori atombokaki makasi mpe abengisaki Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego. Boye, bamemaki bango liboso ya mokonzi.
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?
Nabukodonozori atunaki bango: — Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego, ezali penza ya solo ete bozali kosalela banzambe na ngai te mpe bozali kogumbamela te ekeko ya wolo oyo nasali?
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?
Sik’oyo, bomibongisa! Tango kaka bokoyoka lolaka ya kelelo, ya flite, ya lindanda ya moke, ya lindanda, ya nzenze, ya fanfari mpe makelele ya nyonso ya bibetelo mindule, bokofukama mpo na kogumbamela ekeko oyo nasali. Soki boboyi kogumbamela yango, bokobwakama mbala moko kati na libulu ya moto. Boye, tokotala soki nzambe nini akokoka kokangola bino na maboko na ngai.
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the King, O Nebuchad-nezzar, we are not carefull to answere thee in this matter.
Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego bazongiselaki mokonzi Nabukodonozori: — Tozali na tina na komibundela te na likambo oyo liboso na yo.
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.
Soki babwaki biso kati na libulu ya moto, Nzambe oyo tosalelaka azali na makoki ya kobikisa biso wuta na libulu yango mpe ya kokangola biso na maboko na yo.
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.
Kasi ata soki abikisi na Ye biso te, tolingi mokonzi oyeba ete, biso, tokosalela banzambe na yo te mpe tokogumbamela te ekeko ya wolo oyo osalaki.
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.
Nabukodonozori atombokelaki makasi Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego, mpe akangelaki bango elongi; apesaki mitindo ete bapelisa moto makasi penza mbala sambo koleka ndenge bapelisaka yango tango nyonso.
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.
Bongo apesaki mitindo na ndambo ya basoda ya mpiko kati na mampinga na ye ete bakanga Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego basinga mpe babwaka bango kati na libulu ya moto.
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.
Boye, bakangaki Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego basinga, wana balataki bilamba na bango, banzambala na bango, bakazaka na bango, bitendi na bango oyo bakangaka na moto mpe bilamba mosusu, mpe babwakaki bango kati na libulu ya moto.
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.
Lokola mokonzi apesaki mitindo ete bapelisa moto ya libulu ya moto makasi penza, moto yango ebomaki basoda oyo babwakaki Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego kati na libulu ya moto.
23 And these three men Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego fell downe bound into the middes of the hote fierie fornace.
Kasi Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego bakweyaki kati na libulu yango ya moto, bakanga bango basinga makasi.
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.
Mokonzi Nabukodonozori akamwaki mpe atelemaki na lombangu; atunaki bapesi toli na ye: — Boni, tobwakaki te bato misato kati na moto, bakanga bango basinga? Bazongiselaki mokonzi: — Mokonzi, tosalaki bongo!
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.
Alobaki na bapesi toli na ye: — Botala! Nazali komona bato minei bazali kotambola kati na moto, bakangama basinga te mpe moto ezali kozikisa bango te; mpe moto ya minei azali lokola mwana ya banzambe.
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.
Nabukodonozori apusanaki pene ya monoko ya libulu ya moto mpe agangaki na mongongo makasi: — Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego, basali ya Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, bobima kuna mpe boya awa! Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego babimaki wuta na libulu ya moto.
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.
Bayangeli oyo mokonzi atiaki na bituka, bakalaka oyo babatelaka biloko ya mokonzi, bayangeli mpe bapesi toli ya mokonzi bazingelaki bango; mpe bamonaki ete moto ezikisaki te ezala banzoto na bango, suki ya mito na bango to bilamba na bango, mpe batikalaki koyoka bango ata solo ya moto te.
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.
Nabukodonozori alobaki: — Tika ete Nzambe ya Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego akumisama; Ye nde atindaki anjelu na Ye mpo ete abikisa basali na Ye, pamba te batielaka Ye motema! Batosaki mitindo ya mokonzi te mpe bandimaki kobungisa bomoi na bango na esika ya kosalela mpe kogumbamela nzambe mosusu, soki Nzambe na bango te.
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.
Yango wana, nazwi mokano ete moto nyonso, azala ya mokili, ekolo to lokota nini, oyo akoloba mabe mpo na Nzambe ya Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego, bakokata-kata ye na biteni, bakobuka ndako na ye mpe bakokomisa yango mopiku ya mbindo, pamba te Nzambe mosusu azali te, oyo akoki kobikisa bato na Ye na lolenge oyo!
30 Then the King promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the prouince of Babel.
Sima na yango, mokonzi atombolaki Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego kati na etuka ya Babiloni.
