< 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;
Car Navuhodonosor naèini zlatan lik, kojemu visina bješe šezdeset lakata, a širina šest lakata; i namjesti ga u polju Duri u zemlji Vavilonskoj.
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.
I posla car Navuhodonosor da saberu knezove, upravitelje i vojvode, starješine, riznièare, sudije, nastojnike i sve vlastelje zemaljske, da doðu da se osveti lik što ga postavi car Navuhodonosor.
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.
Tada se skupiše knezovi, upravitelji i vojvode, starješine, riznièari, sudije, nastojnici, i svi vlastelji zemaljski, da se osveti lik što ga postavi car Navuhodonosor; i stadoše pred likom što ga postavi Navuhodonosor.
4 And a crier is calling mightily: “They are saying to you: O peoples, nations, and languages!
A glasnik povika iza glasa: narodi, plemena i jezici, vama se govori.
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:
Kad èujete rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire, pjevanje i svakojake svirke, popadajte i poklonite se zlatnomu liku, koji postavi car Navuhodonosor.
6 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
A ko ne bi pao i poklonio se, onaj èas biæe baèen u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
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.
Zato svi narodi kako èuše rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire i svakojake svirke, popadaše svi narodi, plemena i jezici, i pokloniše se zlatnome liku koji postavi car Navuhodonosor.
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans have drawn near, and accused the Jews;
A neki Haldeji taj èas doðoše i tužiše Jevreje,
9 they have answered, indeed, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for all ages!
I progovoriše i rekoše caru Navuhodonosoru: care, da si živ dovijeka!
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;
Ti si, care, zapovjedio, svaki ko èuje rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire, i pjevanje i svakojake svirke, da padne i pokloni se zlatnome liku;
11 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
A ko ne bi pao i poklonio se, da se baci u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
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.”
A imaju ljudi Jevreji, koje si postavio nad poslovima zemlje Vavilonske, Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago; ti ljudi, care, ne haju za te, ne poštuju tvojih bogova, i ne klanjaju se zlatnom liku, koji si postavio.
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.
Tada Navuhodonosor u gnjevu i ljutini zapovjedi da dovedu Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga. I dovedoše te ljude pred cara.
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?
Navuhodonosor progovori i reèe im: je li istina, Sedraše, Misaše i Avdenago, da vi ne služite mojim bogovima i da se ne klanjate zlatnome liku koji postavih?
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?”
Jeste li dakle gotovi, kad èujete rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire i pjevanje i svakojake svirke, da padnete i poklonite se liku koji naèinih? ako li se ne poklonite, onaj èas biæete baèeni u peæ ognjenu užarenu; a koji je bog što æe vas izbaviti iz mojih ruku?
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.
Odgovoriše Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago, i rekoše caru Navuhodonosoru: nije nam trijebe da ti odgovorimo na to.
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.
Evo, Bog naš, kojemu mi služimo, može nas izbaviti iz peæi ognjene užarene; i izbaviæe nas iz tvojih ruku, care.
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.”
A i da ne bi, znaj, care, da bogovima tvojim neæemo služiti niti æemo se pokloniti zlatnom liku, koji si postavio.
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;
Tada se Navuhodonosor napuni gnjeva, i lice mu se promijeni na Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga, i odgovarajuæi zapovjedi da se užari peæ sedam puta veæma nego što bješe obièaj.
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.
I zapovjedi najjaèim ljudima što bijahu u vojsci njegovoj da svežu Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga, i da ih bace u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
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.
Tada svezaše one ljude u plaštima njihovijem i u obuæi i pod kapama i u svemu odijelu njihovu, i baciše ih u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
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.
Kako zapovijest careva bješe hitna i peæ vrlo užarena, plamen ognjeni ubi one ljude koji bacahu Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace—bound.
A ta tri èovjeka, Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago, padoše usred peæi ognjene užarene.
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.”
Tada se prepade car Navuhodonosor, i brže ustav progovori i reèe svojim dvoranima: ne bacismo li tri èovjeka svezana u oganj? Odgovoriše i rekoše caru: da, care.
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.”
Odgovori i reèe: eno, vidim èetiri èovjeka odriješena gdje hode posred ognja i nije im ništa, i èetvrti kao da je sin Božji.
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;
Tada pristupi Navuhodonosor na vrata ognjenoj peæi užarenoj, i progovori i reèe: Sedraše, Misaše i Avdenago, sluge Boga višnjega, izidite i hodite. Tada Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago izidoše isred ognja.
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.
I sabraše se knezovi i upravitelji i vojvode i vijeænici carevi, i vidješe te ljude gdje im tijelu oganj ništa ne može, niti im se kosa na glavi opali, niti im se plašti što promijeniše, niti zadah od ognja prionu za njih.
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.
Progovori Navuhodonosor i reèe: da je blagosloven Bog Sedrahov, Misahov i Avdenagov, koji posla anðela svojega i izbavi sluge svoje, koje se u nj pouzdaše i ne poslušaše zapovijesti careve i dadoše tjelesa svoja da ne bi služili niti se poklonili drugom bogu osim svojega Boga.
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.”
Zato zapovijedam da se svaki kojega mu drago naroda i plemena i jezika, koji bi pohulio na Boga Sedrahova, Misahova i Avdenagova, da se isijeèe i kuæa da mu bude bunište, jer nema drugoga boga koji može tako izbaviti.
30 Then the king has caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
Tada car uzvisi Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga u zemlji Vavilonskoj.
