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.
Kralj Nebukadnezar je naredil podobo iz zlata, katere višina je bila šestdeset komolcev, njena širina pa šest komolcev. Postavil jo je na ravnini Dura v provinci Babilon.
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.
Potem je kralj Nebukadnezar poslal, da zbere skupaj prince, voditelje in poveljnike, sodnike, zakladnike, svetovalce, šerife in vse vladarje provinc, da pridejo k posvetitvi podobe, ki jo je postavil kralj Nebukadnezar.
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.
Potem so bili princi, voditelji in poveljniki, sodniki, zakladniki, svetovalci, šerifi in vsi vladarji provinc zbrani skupaj k posvetitvi podobe, ki jo je postavil kralj Nebukadnezar in stali so pred podobo, ki jo je postavil Nebukadnezar.
4 Then an herald cried aloude, Be it knowen to you, O people, nations, and languages,
Potem je glasnik naglas zavpil: »Vam je to zapovedano, oh ljudstvo, narodi in jeziki,
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,
da kadar zaslišite zvok kornéta, flavte, harfe, pozavne, plunke, citer in vseh vrst glasbe, padite dol in obožujte zlato podobo, ki jo je postavil kralj Nebukadnezar.
6 And whosoeuer falleth not downe and worshippeth, shall the same houre bee cast into the middes of an hote fierie fornace.
Kdorkoli ne pade dol in ne obožuje, bo isto uro vržen v sredo goreče ognjene talilne peči.«
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.
Zatorej ob tistem času, ko je vse ljudstvo zaslišalo zvok kornéta, flavte, harfe, pozavne, plunke in vseh vrst glasbe, so vsa ljudstva, narodi in jeziki padli dol in oboževali zlato podobo, ki jo je postavil kralj Nebukadnezar.
8 By reason whereof at that same time came men of the Caldeans, and grieuously accused the Iewes.
Zaradi česar so se ob tistem času približali neki Kaldejci in obtožili Jude.
9 For they spake and said to the King Nebuchad-nezzar, O King, liue for euer.
Spregovorili so in rekli kralju Nebukadnezarju: »Oh kralj, živi na veke.
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,
Ti, oh kralj, si izdal odlok, da naj vsak človek, ki bo zaslišal glas kornéta, flavte, harfe, pozavne, plunke in citer in vseh vrst glasbe, pade dol in obožuje zlato podobo.
11 And whosoeuer falleth not downe, and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the mids of an hote fierie fornace.
Kdorkoli pa ne pade dol in je ne obožuje, ta bo vržen v sredo goreče ognjene talilne peči.
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.
Tam so nekateri Judje, ki si jih postavil nad zadeve babilonske province: Šadráh, Mešáh in Abéd Negó. Ti možje, oh kralj, te niso upoštevali. Ne služijo tvojim bogovom niti ne obožujejo zlate podobe, ki si jo ti postavil.«
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.
Potem je Nebukadnezar v svoji besnosti in razjarjenosti zapovedal, da privedejo Šadráha, Mešáha in Abéd Negója. Potem so te može privedli pred kralja.
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?
Nebukadnezar je spregovoril in jim rekel: » Je to res, oh Šadráh, Mešáh in Abéd Negój, [da] ne služite mojim bogovom niti ne obožujete zlate podobe, ki sem jo postavil?
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?
Torej če ste pripravljeni, da kadar zaslišite zvok kornéta, flavte, harfe, pozavne, plunke in citer in vse vrste glasbe, padete dol in obožujete podobo, ki sem jo naredil; dobro. Toda če je ne obožujete, boste isto uro vrženi v sredo goreče ognjene talilne peči, in kdo je tisti Bog, ki vas bo osvobodil iz mojih rok?«
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the King, O Nebuchad-nezzar, we are not carefull to answere thee in this matter.
Šadráh, Mešáh in Abéd Negó so odgovorili in kralju rekli: »Oh Nebukadnezar, mi nismo zaskrbljeni, da ti odgovorimo v tej zadevi.
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.
Če bo temu tako, naš Bog, ki mu služimo, nas je zmožen osvoboditi pred gorečo ognjeno talilno pečjo in on nas bo osvobodil iz tvoje roke, oh kralj.
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.
Toda če ne, bodi to znano tebi, oh kralj, da ne bomo služili tvojim bogovom niti oboževali zlate podobe, ki si jo postavil.«
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.
Potem je bil Nebukadnezar poln razjarjenosti in videz njegovega obličja je bil spremenjen napram Šadráhu, Mešáhu in Abéd Negóju. Zatorej je spregovoril in zapovedal, da naj talilno peč sedemkrat bolj segrejejo, kot je bila običajno segreta.
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.
Zapovedal je najmočnejšim možem, ki so bili v njegovi vojski, da zvežejo Šadráha, Mešáha in Abéd Negója in da jih vržejo v gorečo ognjeno talilno peč.
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.
Potem so bili ti možje zvezani v njihovih plaščih, njihovih hlačah in njihovih klobukih in drugih njihovih oblačilih in vrženi so bili v sredo goreče ognjene talilne peči.
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.
Torej, ker je bila kraljeva zapoved nujna in talilna peč izjemno vroča, je plamen ognja usmrtil tiste može, ki so vzdignili Šadráha, Mešáha in Abéd Negója.
23 And these three men Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego fell downe bound into the middes of the hote fierie fornace.
Ti trije možje, Šadráh, Mešáh in Abéd Negó so zvezani padli dol v sredo goreče ognjene talilne peči.
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.
Potem je bil kralj Nebukadnezar osupel, v naglici vstal in spregovoril ter svojim svetovalcem rekel: »Mar nismo v sredo ognja vrgli treh zvezanih mož?« Odgovorili so in rekli kralju: »Resnica, oh kralj.«
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.
Ta je odgovoril in rekel: »Glejte, vidim štiri razvezane može, ki hodijo v sredi ognja in nimajo nobene poškodbe, oblika četrtega pa je podobna Božjemu Sinu.«
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.
Potem se je Nebukadnezar približal odprtini goreče ognjene talilne peči in spregovoril ter rekel: »Šadráh, Mešáh in Abéd Negó, vi služabniki najvišjega Boga, pojdite ven in pridite sem.« Potem so Šadráh, Mešáh in Abéd Negó prišli naprej iz srede ognja.
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.
Princi, voditelji, poveljniki in kraljevi svetovalci, ki so bili zbrani skupaj, so videli te može, nad čigar telesi ogenj ni imel nobene oblasti, niti las njihove glave ni bil osmojen, niti njihovi plašči niso bili spremenjeni, niti nanje ni prešel vonj ognja.
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.
Potem je Nebukadnezar spregovoril in rekel: »Blagoslovljen bodi Bog Šadráha, Mešáha in Abéd Negója, ki je poslal svojega angela in rešil svoje služabnike, ki so zaupali vanj in spremenili kraljevo besedo in predali svoja telesa, da ne bi služili niti oboževali kateregakoli boga, razen svojega lastnega Boga.
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.
Zato izdajam odlok: ›Da bo vsako ljudstvo, narod in jezik, ki spregovori karkoli neprimernega zoper Boga Šadráha, Mešáha in Abéd Negója, razrezano na koščke in njihove hiše bodo narejene za gnojišče, zato ker ni drugega Boga, ki lahko reši na ta način.‹«
30 Then the King promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the prouince of Babel.
Potem je kralj povišal Šadráha, Mešáha in Abéd Negója v provinci Babilon.
