Daniel 3
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king has made an image of gold, its height sixty cubits, its breadth six cubits; he has raised it up in the Valley of Dura, in the province of Babylon;
| ثُمَّ صَنَعَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ تِمْثَالاً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، ارْتِفَاعُهُ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ ثَلاثِينَ مِتْراً)، وَعَرْضُهُ سِتُّ أَذْرُعٍ (نَحْوَ ثَلاثَةِ أَمْتَارٍ)، وَنَصَبَهُ فِي سَهْلِ دُورَا فِي وِلايَةِ بَابِلَ. | ١ |
2 and Nebuchadnezzar the king has sent to gather the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the province, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up.
| وَاسْتَدْعَى نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ الْمَلِكُ جَمِيعَ أَقْطَابِ الدَّوْلَةِ وَوُلاتِهَا وَحُكَّامِهَا وَقُضَاتِهَا وَأُمَنَاءِ خَزَائِنِهَا وَمُسْتَشَارِيهَا، وَسَائِرَ كِبَارِ مُوَظَّفِي الأَقَالِيمِ، لِيَأْتُوا لِلاشْتِرَاكِ فِي تَدْشِينِ التِّمْثَالِ الَّذِي نَصَبَهُ. | ٢ |
3 Then are gathered the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the province, to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up: and they are standing before the image that Nebuchadnezzar has raised up.
| فَاجْتَمَعَ الأَقْطَابُ وَالْحُكَّامُ وَالْقُضَاةُ وَأُمَنَاءُ الْخَزَائِنِ وَالْمُسْتَشَارُونَ وَسَائِرُ عُظَمَاءِ الأَقَالِيمِ لِتَدْشِينِ التِّمْثَالِ الَّذِي نَصَبَهُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ وَمَثَلُوا أَمَامَهُ. | ٣ |
4 And a crier is calling mightily: “They are saying to you: O peoples, nations, and languages!
| وَصَاحَ مُنَادٍ بِصَوْتٍ عَالٍ: «أَيُّهَا الشُّعُوبُ وَالأُمَمُ مِنْ كُلِّ لُغَةٍ وَلِسَانٍ، قَدْ صَدَرَ لَكُمْ أَمْرٌ | ٤ |
5 At the time that you hear the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, the symphony, and all kinds of music, you fall down and pay respect to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up:
| أَنَّكُمْ حِينَ تَسْمَعُونَ أَصْوَاتَ بُوقِ الْقَرْنِ وَالنَّايِ وَالْعُودِ وَالرَّبَابِ وَالْقِيثَارَةِ الْمُثَلَّثَةِ وَالْمِزْمَارِ وَكُلِّ أَنْوَاعِ الْمُوسِيقَى، تَنْحَنُونَ وَتَسْجُدُونَ لِتِمْثَالِ الذَّهَبِ الَّذِي نَصَبَهُ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ الْمَلِكُ. | ٥ |
6 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
| وَكُلُّ مَنْ لَا يَنْحَنِي وَيَسْجُدُ، يُلْقَى فَوْراً فِي وَسَطِ أَتُونِ نَارٍ مُتَّقِدَةٍ». | ٦ |
7 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples are hearing the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and all kinds of music, falling down are all the peoples, nations and languages, worshiping the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up.
| لِهَذَا حَالَمَا سَمِعَتِ الشُّعُوبُ الْحَاضِرَةُ أَصْوَاتَ تِلْكَ الالاتِ الْمُوسِيقِيَّةِ الْمُخْتَلِفَةِ، انْحَنَتْ وَسَجَدَتْ لِتِمْثَالِ الذَّهَبِ الْمَنْصُوبِ. | ٧ |
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans have drawn near, and accused the Jews;
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ بَعْضاً مِنْ رِجَالِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ وَاشْتَكَوْا عَلَى الْيَهُودِ | ٨ |
9 they have answered, indeed, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for all ages!
| قَائِلِينَ: «لِتَعِشْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٩ |
10 You, O king, have made a decree that every man who hears the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, falls down and pays respect to the golden image;
| لَقَدْ أَصْدَرْتَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ أَمْراً أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ أَصْوَاتَ بُوقِ الْقَرْنِ وَالنَّايِ وَالْعُودِ وَالرَّبَابِ وَالْقِيثَارَةِ الْمُثَلَّثَةِ وَالْمِزْمَارِ، وَكُلِّ أَنْوَاعِ الْمُوسِيقَى، يَنْحَنِي وَيَسْجُدُ لِتِمْثَالِ الذَّهَبِ. | ١٠ |
11 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
| وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَأْبَى يُلْقَى فِي وَسَطِ أَتُونِ نَارٍ مُتَّقِدَةٍ. | ١١ |
12 There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the work of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, these men have not made of you, O king, [any] regard; your gods they are not serving, and to the golden image you have raised up—are not making worship.”
| وَهَا هُنَا رِجَالٌ يَهُودٌ مِمَّنْ وَلَّيْتَهُمْ عَلَى أَعْمَالِ إِقْلِيمِ بَابِلَ، هُمْ شَدْرَخُ وَمِيشَخُ وَعَبْدَنَغُو لَمْ يَأْبَهُوا لَكَ، وَلَمْ يَعْبُدُوا آلِهَتَكَ، وَلَمْ يَسْجُدُوا لِتِمْثَالِ الذَّهَبِ الَّذِي نَصَبْتَهُ». | ١٢ |
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar, in anger and fury, has said to bring in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Then these men have been brought in before the king.
| حِينَئِذٍ أَمَرَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ بِاحْتِدَامِ غَضَبٍ وَغَيْظٍ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِشَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُو فَأَحْضَرُوهُمْ أَمَامَ الْمَلِكِ. | ١٣ |
14 Nebuchadnezzar has answered and said to them, “Is [it] a laid plan, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego—my gods you are not serving, and to the golden image that I have raised up you are not worshiping?
| وَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ: «أَحَقّاً يَا شَدْرَخُ وَمِيشَخُ وَعَبْدَنَغُو أَنَّكُمْ لَا تَعْبُدُونَ آلِهَتِي وَلا تَسْجُدُونَ لِتِمْثَالِ الذَّهَبِ الَّذِي نَصَبْتُهُ؟ | ١٤ |
15 Now behold, you are ready, so that at the time that you hear the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, you fall down and pay respect to the image that I have made! But if you do not worship—in that hour you are cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; who is that God who delivers you out of my hands?”
| وَالآنَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُسْتَعِدِّينَ لَدَى سَمَاعِكُمْ صَوْتَ الالاتِ الْمُوسِيقِيَّةِ الْمُخْتَلِفَةِ أَنْ تَنْحَنُوا وَتَسْجُدُوا لِلتِّمْثَالِ الَّذِي صَنَعْتُهُ، أَعْفُو عَنْكُمْ. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ أَبَيْتُمُ السُّجُودَ، تُطْرَحُونَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ فِي وَسَطِ أَتُونِ النَّارِ الْمُتَّقِدَةِ. وَأَيُّ إِلَهٍ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُنْقِذَكُمْ عِنْدَئِذٍ مِنْ يَدَيَّ؟» | ١٥ |
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego have answered, indeed, they are saying to King Nebuchadnezzar, “We have no need concerning this matter to answer you.
| فَأَجَابَهُ شَدْرَخُ وَمِيشَخُ وَعَبْدَنَغُو: «لا دَاعِيَ لأَنْ نُجِيبَكَ عَنْ هَذَا الشَّأْنِ | ١٦ |
17 Behold, it is; our God whom we are serving, is able to deliver us from a burning fiery furnace; and from your hand, O king, He delivers.
| لأَنَّ إِلَهَنَا الَّذِي نَعْبُدُهُ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُنَجِّيَنَا مِنْ أَتُونِ النَّارِ الْمُتَّقِدَةِ، وَأَنْ يُنْقِذَنَا مِنْ يَدِكَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ. | ١٧ |
18 And behold—not! Be it known to you, O king, that we are not serving your gods, and we do not worship the golden image you have raised up.”
| وَحَتَّى إِنْ لَمْ يُنْقِذْنَا، فَاعْلَمْ يَقِيناً أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ أَنَّنَا لَا نَعْبُدُ آلِهَتَكَ، وَلا نَسْجُدُ لِتِمْثَالِ الذَّهَبِ الَّذِي نَصَبْتَهُ». | ١٨ |
19 Then Nebuchadnezzar has been full of fury, and the expression of his face has been changed concerning Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; he answered and said to heat the furnace seven times above that which it is seen to be heated;
| فَاسْتَشَاطَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ حَنَقاً وَاكْفَهَرَّ وَجْهُهُ غَضَباً عَلَى شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُو، وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُضْرِمُوا الأَتُونَ سَبْعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ عَمَّا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْعَادَةُ. | ١٩ |
20 and to certain mighty men who [are] in his force he has said to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to cast into the burning fiery furnace.
| وَطَلَبَ مِنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِ جَيْشِهِ الشُّجْعَانِ أَنْ يُوْثِقُوا شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُو وَيَطْرَحُوهُمْ فِي أَتُونِ النَّارِ الْمُتَّقِدَةِ. | ٢٠ |
21 Then these men have been bound in their coats, their tunics, and their turbans, and their clothing, and have been cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
| حِينَئِذٍ أُوْثِقَ الرِّجَالُ بِمَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ ثِيَابٍ وَسَرَاوِيلَ وَأَقْمِصَةٍ وَأَرْدِيَةٍ، وَطُرِحُوا فِي وَسَطِ أَتُونِ النَّارِ الْمُتَّقِدَةِ. | ٢١ |
22 Therefore, because that the word of the king is urgent, and the furnace heated exceedingly, those men who have taken up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego—the spark of the fire has killed them.
| وَإِذْ كَانَ أَمْرُ الْمَلِكِ صَارِماً وَالأَتُونُ قَدْ أُضْرِمَ أَشَدَّ إِضْرَامٍ، فَإِنَّ لَهِيبَ النَّارِ أَحْرَقَ الرِّجَالَ الَّذِينَ حَمَلُوا شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُو، وَطَرَحُوهُمْ فِي النَّارِ. | ٢٢ |
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace—bound.
| فَسَقَطَ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالُ الثَّلاثَةُ مُوْثَقِينَ وَسَطَ أَتُونِ النَّارِ الْمُتَّقِدَةِ. | ٢٣ |
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king has been astonished, and has risen in haste; he has answered and said to his counselors, “Have we not cast three men into the midst of the fire—bound?” They have answered and are saying to the king, “Certainly, O king.”
| وَمَا لَبِثَتِ الْحَيْرَةُ أَنِ اعْتَرَتْ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ، فَهَبَّ مُسْرِعاً وَقَالَ لِمُشِيرِيهِ: «أَلَمْ نَطْرَحْ ثَلاثَةَ رِجَالٍ مُوْثَقِينَ فِي وَسَطِ النَّارِ؟» فَأَجَابُوا: «صَحِيحٌ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ». | ٢٤ |
25 He answered and has said, “Behold, I am seeing four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth [is] like to a son of the gods.”
| فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَرَى أَرْبَعَةَ رِجَالٍ طَلِيقِينَ يَتَمَشَّوْنَ فِي وَسَطِ النَّارِ، لَمْ يَنَلْهُمْ أَذىً، وَمَنْظَرُ الرَّابِعِ شَبِيهٌ بِابْنِ الآلِهَةِ». | ٢٥ |
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar has drawn near to the gate of the burning fiery furnace; he has answered and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of God Most High come forth, indeed, come”; then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego come forth, from the midst of the fire;
| ثُمَّ دَنَا نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مِنْ بَابِ الأَتُونِ الْمُتَّقِدِ بِالنَّارِ وَهَتَفَ: «يَا شَدْرَخُ وَمِيشَخُ وَعَبْدَنَغُو يَا عَبِيدَ اللهِ الْعَلِيِّ، اخْرُجُوا وَتَعَالَوْا». فَخَرَجَ شَدْرَخُ وَمِيشَخُ وَعَبْدَنَغُو مِنْ وَسَطِ النَّارِ. | ٢٦ |
27 and gathered together, the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the counselors of the king, are seeing these men, that the fire has no power over their bodies, and the hair of their head has not been singed, and their coats have not changed, and the smell of fire has not passed on them.
| فَأَحَاطَ الأَقْطَابُ وَالْوُلاةُ وَالْحُكَّامُ وَعُظَمَاءُ الدَّوْلَةِ بِهِمْ، فَوَجَدُوا أَنَّ النَّارَ لَمْ تُؤْذِ أَجْسَامَهُمْ، وَلَمْ تَحْتَرِقْ شَعْرَةٌ مِنْ رُؤُوسِهِمْ، وَلَمْ تَشِطْ ثِيَابُهُمْ، وَلَمْ تَعْلَقْ بِهِمْ رَائِحَةُ النَّارِ. | ٢٧ |
28 Nebuchadnezzar has answered and has said, “Blessed [is] the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who has sent His messenger, and has delivered His servants who trusted on Him.” And the word of the king changed, and gave up their bodies that they might not serve nor pay respect to any god except to their own God.
| فَقَالَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ: «تَبَارَكَ إِلَهُ شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُو الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ مَلاكَهُ وَأَنْقَذَ عَبِيدَهُ الَّذِينَ اتَّكَلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَخَالَفُوا أَمْرَ الْمَلِكِ وَبَذَلُوا أَجْسَادَهُمْ كَيْ لا يَعْبُدُوا أَوْ يَسْجُدُوا لإِلَهٍ غَيْرِ إِلَهِهِمْ. | ٢٨ |
29 “And by me a decree is made, that any people, nation, and language, that speaks erroneously concerning the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, he is made pieces, and its house is made a dunghill, because that there is no other god who is able thus to deliver.”
| لِهَذَا قَدْ صَدَرَ مِنِّي أَمْرٌ أَنَّ أَيَّ شَعْبٍ أَوْ أُمَّةٍ أَوْ قَوْمٍ مِنْ أَيِّ لِسَانٍ يَذُمُّونَ إِلَهَ شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُو، يُمَزَّقُونَ إِرْباً إِرْباً، وَتُصْبِحُ بُيُوتُهُمْ أَنْقَاضاً، إِذْ لَيْسَ هُنَاكَ إِلَهٌ آخَرُ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُنَجِّيَ مِثْلَهُ». | ٢٩ |
30 Then the king has caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
| ثُمَّ رَفَعَ الْمَلِكُ مِنْ شَأْنِ شَدْرَخَ وَمِيشَخَ وَعَبْدَنَغُو فِي وِلايَةِ بَابِلَ. | ٣٠ |
