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;
Kabaka Nebukadduneeza n’abumbisa ekifaananyi ekya zaabu, obugulumivu mita amakumi abiri mu musanvu n’obugazi mita bbiri ne sentimita nsanvu, n’alagira kiteekebwe mu lusenyi lwa Dduula, mu ssaza ly’e Babulooni.
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.
N’atumya abaamasaza, n’abaamagombolola, n’abemiruka, n’abawi b’amagezi, n’abawanika, n’abalamuzi, n’abakungu bonna ab’omu masaza, bajje ku mukolo ogw’okuwongera ekibumbe Kabaka Nebukadduneeza kye yabumbisa.
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.
Awo abaamasaza, n’abafuzi, n’abamateeka, n’abawi b’amagezi n’abawanika, n’abalamuzi, n’abakungu bonna ab’omu masaza, ne bakuŋŋaana ku mukolo ogw’okuwonga ekibumbe Kabaka Nebukadduneeza kye yabumbisa.
4 And a crier is calling mightily: “They are saying to you: O peoples, nations, and languages!
Awo omulanzi n’ayogerera waggulu mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Mulagiddwa, mmwe abantu, n’amawanga, n’abantu ab’ennimi eza buli ngeri,
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:
bwe munaawulira eddoboozi ly’akagombe, n’endere, n’ennanga, n’amadinda, n’ekidongo, n’ekkondeere, na buli ngeri yonna ey’ebivuga eby’amaloboozi, muteekwa okuvuunama musinze ekibumbe ekya zaabu Kabaka Nebukadduneeza kye yabumbisa.
6 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
Omuntu yenna atalivuunama n’akisinza, alisuulibwa mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro.”
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.
Awo amawanga gonna bwe baawulira eddoboozi ly’akagombe, n’endere, n’ennanga, n’amadinda, n’ekidongo, n’ekkondeere na buli ngeri yonna ey’ebivuga eby’amaloboozi, amawanga gonna n’ensi n’abantu ab’ennimi eza buli ngeri ne bavuunama ne basinza ekibumbe ekya zaabu Kabaka Nebukadduneeza kye yabumbisa.
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans have drawn near, and accused the Jews;
Awo mu biro ebyo Abakaludaaya abamu ne bawawaabira Abayudaaya.
9 they have answered, indeed, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for all ages!
Ne bagenda eri Kabaka Nebukadduneeza ne bamugamba nti, “Wangaala, ayi kabaka!
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;
Ggwe ayi kabaka otaddewo etteeka, nti omuntu yenna anaawulira eddoboozi ly’akagombe, n’endere, n’ennanga, n’amadinda, n’ekidongo, n’ekkondeere na buli ngeri yonna ey’ebivuga eby’amaloboozi, ateekwa okuvuunama n’asinza ekifaananyi kya zaabu,
11 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
era buli atalivuunama n’akisinza alisuulibwa mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro.
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.”
Naye waliwo abamu ku Bayudaaya be walonda okuvunaanyizibwa ensonga ez’essaza ery’e Babulooni, era be ba Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego abatakuwulirirako ddala ayi kabaka. Tebaweereza bakatonda bo newaakubadde okusinza ekifaananyi ekya zaabu kye wabumbisa.”
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.
Awo Nebukadduneeza n’asunguwala nnyo n’alagira baleete Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego gy’ali; ne baleetebwa mu maaso ga kabaka.
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?
Nebukadduneeza n’ababuuza nti, “Ebigambo bye mpulira bituufu nti mmwe Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego temuweereza bakatonda bange, newaakubadde okusinza ekifaananyi ekya zaabu kye nabumbisa?
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?”
Kaakano, bwe munaawulira eddoboozi ly’akagombe, n’endere, n’ennanga, n’amadinda, n’ekidongo, n’ekkondeere na buli ngeri yonna ey’ebivuga eby’amaloboozi, mwetegeke okuvuunama n’okusinza ekifaananyi kye nabumbisa. Naye bwe mutaakisinze, ku ssaawa eyo yennyini munaasuulibwa mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro, kale tulyoke tulabe katonda oyo anaayinza okubawonya mu mukono gwange.”
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.
Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego ne baddamu kabaka nti, “Ayi Nebukadduneeza, tekitugwanira kwewolereza mu maaso go ku nsonga eyo.
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.
Bwe tunaasuulibwa mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro, Katonda gwe tuweereza anaatuwonya ekikoomi ekyaka omuliro era anaatulokola mu mukono gwo, ayi kabaka.
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.”
Naye ne bwe kitaabe bwe kityo, twagala okimanye, ayi kabaka nga tetugenda kuweereza bakatonda bo, newaakubadde okusinza ekifaananyi ekya zaabu kye wabumbisa.”
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;
Awo Nebukadduneeza ne yeeyongera okusunguwalira Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego, n’amaaso ge ne gaba masunguwavu nnyo ng’ajjudde obuswandi. N’alagira ekikoomi kyake emirundi musanvu okusinga ne bwe kyali kyase.
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.
N’alagira abamu ku baserikale be ab’amaanyi okusiba Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego, n’oluvannyuma basuulibwe mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro.
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.
Amangwago ne basiba Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego, nga bambadde ebyambalo byabwe eby’ekitiibwa, ne seruwale zaabwe, n’eminagiro gyabwe n’engoye zaabwe endala, ne basuulibwa mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro.
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.
Olw’okubanga ekiragiro kya kabaka kyali kya mbagirawo nga n’ekyoto kyaka nnyo nnyini, ennimi ez’omuliro ne zitta abasajja abaasitula Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace—bound.
Awo abasajja abo abasatu Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego ne basuulibwa wakati mu kikoomi ekyaka omuliro nga basibiddwa.
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.”
Awo Kabaka Nebukadduneeza, mu kwewuunya n’agolokoka mangu n’abuuza abakungu be nti, “Mu muliro tetwasuddemu abasajja basatu nga basibiddwa?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Bwe kyabadde, ayi kabaka.”
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.”
N’ayogera nti, “Naye nga ndaba abasajja bana nga basumuluddwa nga batambulira wakati mu muliro, nga tebaliiko kabi ke bakolebbwako, so n’owookuna ng’afaanana ng’omwana wa bakatonda.”
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;
Nebukadduneeza n’alyoka asembera ku mulyango gw’ekikoomi ekyaka omuliro, n’ayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki, ne Abeduneego, abaddu ba Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo, mufulume mujje wano.” Awo Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego ne bava mu muliro.
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.
Abaamasaza, n’abemiruka, n’abafuzi ab’ebitundu, n’abakungu ba kabaka ne bakuŋŋaana ne babeetegereza. Ne balaba ng’omuliro tegubookezza, so n’enviiri zaabwe nga tezisiridde, so n’engoye zaabwe nga tezookeddwa, so n’olusu lw’omuliro nga terubawunyako.
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.
Nebukadduneeza n’ayogera nti, “Katonda wa Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego atenderezebwe, aweerezza malayika we n’alokola abaddu be, abaamwesize, ne bajeemera ekiragiro kya kabaka, ne bawaayo obulamu bwabwe baleme okuweereza newaakubadde okusinza katonda yenna wabula Katonda waabwe bo.
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.”
Noolwekyo nteeka etteeka nga buli muntu ow’eggwanga lyonna, na buli muntu ow’olulimi lwonna olwa buli ngeri alyogera obubi ku Katonda wa Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego, alitemebwatemebwa, n’ennyumba ye erimenyebwamenyebwa, kubanga tewali katonda mulala ayinza okuwonya mu ngeri eyo.”
30 Then the king has caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
Awo kabaka n’akuza Saddulaaki, ne Mesaki ne Abeduneego mu ssaza ery’e Babulooni.
