< 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;
O rei Nabucodonozor fez uma estatua de oiro, a altura da qual era de sessenta covados, e a sua largura de seis covados: levantou-a no campo de Dura, na provincia de Babylonia.
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.
E o rei Nabucodonozor mandou ajuntar os sátrapas, os prefeitos e presidentes, os juizes, os thesoureiros, os conselheiros, os officiaes, e todos os governadores das provincias, para que viessem á consagração da estatua que o rei Nabucodonozor tinha levantado.
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.
Então se ajuntaram os sátrapas, os prefeitos e presidentes, os juizes, os thesoureiros, os conselheiros, os officiaes, e todos os governadores das provincias, á consagração da estatua que o rei Nabucodonozor tinha levantado, e estavam em pé diante da estatua que Nabucodonozor tinha levantado.
4 And a crier is calling mightily: “They are saying to you: O peoples, nations, and languages!
E o pregoeiro apregoava em alta voz: Ordena-se a vós, ó povos, nações e linguagens:
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:
Quando ouvirdes o som da buzina, do pifaro, da harpa, da sambuca, do psalterio, da symphonia, e de toda a sorte de musica, vos prostrareis, e adorareis a estatua de oiro que o rei Nabucodonozor tem levantado.
6 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
E qualquer que se não prostrar e a não adorar, será na mesma hora lançado dentro do forno de fogo ardente.
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.
Portanto, no mesmo instante em que todos os povos ouviram o som da buzina, do pifaro, da harpa, da sambuca, do psalterio, e de toda a sorte de musica, se prostraram todos os povos, nações e linguas, e adoraram a estatua de oiro que o rei Nabucodonozor tinha levantado.
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans have drawn near, and accused the Jews;
Por isso, no mesmo instante se chegaram alguns homens chaldeos, e accusaram os judeos.
9 they have answered, indeed, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for all ages!
E fallaram, e disseram ao rei Nabucodonozor: Ó rei, vive eternamente!
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;
Tu, ó rei, fizeste um decreto, que todo o homem que ouvisse o som da buzina, do pifaro, da harpa, da sambuca, do psalterio, e da symphonia, e de toda a sorte de musica, se prostrasse e adorasse a estatua de oiro;
11 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
E, qualquer que se não prostrasse e adorasse, fosse lançado dentro do forno de fogo ardente.
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.”
Ha uns homens judeos, os quaes constituiste sobre os negocios da provincia de Babylonia: Sadrach, Mesach e Abed-nego: estes homens, ó rei, não fizeram caso de ti; a teus deuses não servem, nem a estatua de oiro, que levantaste, adoraram.
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.
Então Nabucodonozor, com ira e furor, mandou trazer a Sadrach, Mesach e Abed-nego. E trouxeram a estes homens perante o rei.
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?
Fallou Nabucodonozor, e lhes disse: Porventura de proposito, ó Sadrach, Mesach e Abed-nego, vós não servis a meus deuses nem adoraes a estatua de oiro que levantei?
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?”
Agora pois, se estaes promptos, quando ouvirdes o som da buzina, do pifaro, da guitarra, da harpa, do psalterio, da symphonia, e de toda a sorte de musica, para vos prostrardes e adorardes a estatua que fiz, bom é; mas, se a não adorardes, sereis lançados, na mesma hora, dentro do forno de fogo ardente: e quem é o Deus que vos poderá livrar das minhas mãos
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.
Responderam Sadrach, Mesach e Abed-nego, e disseram ao rei Nabucodonozor: Não necessitamos de te responder sobre este negocio.
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.
Eis que é nosso Deus, a quem nós servimos, que nos pode livrar; elle nos livrará do forno de fogo ardente, e da tua mão, ó rei.
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.”
E, se não, sabe tu, ó rei, que não serviremos a teus deuses nem adoraremos a estatua de oiro que levantaste.
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;
Então Nabucodonozor se encheu de furor, e se mudou o aspecto do seu semblante contra Sadrach, Mesach e Abed-nego: respondeu, e ordenou que o forno se accendesse sete vezes mais do que se costumava accender.
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.
E ordenou aos homens mais valentes de força, que estavam no seu exercito, que atassem a Sadrach, Mesach e Abed-nego, para os lançar no forno de fogo ardente.
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.
Então estes homens foram atados com as suas capas, seus calções, e seus chapeus, e seus vestidos, e foram lançados dentro do forno de fogo ardente.
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.
E, porque a palavra do rei apertava, e o forno estava sobre-maneira acceso, a chamma do fogo matou aquelles homens que levantaram a Sadrach, Mesach e Abed-nego.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace—bound.
E estes tres homens, Sadrach, Mesach e Abed-nego, cairam atados dentro do forno de fogo ardente.
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.”
Então o rei Nabucodonozor se espantou, e se levantou depressa: fallou, e disse aos seus capitães: Porventura não lançámos tres homens atados dentro do fogo? Responderam e disseram ao rei: Verdade é, ó rei
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.”
Respondeu, e disse: Eis aqui vejo quatro homens soltos, que andam passeando dentro do fogo, e nada ha de lesão n'elles; e o aspecto do quarto é similhante ao filho dos deuses.
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;
Então se chegou Nabucodonozor á porta do forno de fogo ardente; fallou, e disse: Sadrach, Mesach e Abed-nego, servos do Deus Altissimo, sahi e vinde! Então Sadrach, Mesach e Abed-nego sairam do meio do fogo.
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.
E ajuntaram-se os sátrapas, os prefeitos, e os presidentes, e os capitães do rei, contemplando estes homens, como o fogo não tinha tido poder algum sobre os seus corpos: nem um só cabello da sua cabeça se tinha queimado, nem as suas capas se mudaram, nem cheiro de fogo tinha passado sobre elles.
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.
Fallou Nabucodonozor, e disse: Bemdito seja o Deus de Sadrach, Mesach e Abed-nego, que enviou o seu anjo, e livrou os seus servos, que confiaram n'elle, pois violaram a palavra do rei, e entregaram os seus corpos, para que não servissem nem adorassem algum outro deus, senão o seu Deus.
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.”
Por mim pois se faz um decreto, que todo o povo, nação e lingua que disser blasphemia contra o Deus de Sadrach, Mesach e Abed-nego, seja despedaçado, e a sua casa seja feita um monturo; porquanto não ha outro Deus que possa livrar como este.
30 Then the king has caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
Então o rei fez prosperar a Sadrach, Mesach e Abed-nego, na provincia de Babylonia.
