< 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;
Цар Навуходоносор начини златан лик, коме висина беше шездесет лаката, а ширина шест лаката; и намести га у пољу Дури у земљи вавилонској.
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.
И посла цар Навуходоносор да саберу кнезове, управитеље и војводе, старешине, ризничаре, судије, настојнике и све властеље земаљске, да дођу да се освети лик што га постави цар Навуходоносор.
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.
Тада се скупише кнезови, управитељи и војводе, старешине, ризничари, судије, настојници, и сви властељи земаљски, да се освети лик шта га постави цар Навуходоносор; и стадоше пред ликом што га постави Навуходоносор.
4 And a crier is calling mightily: “They are saying to you: O peoples, nations, and languages!
А гласник повика гласно: Народи, племена и језици, вама се говори.
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:
Кад чујете рог, свирале, китаре, гусле, псалтире, певање и свакојаке свирке, попадајте и поклоните се златном лику, који постави цар Навуходоносор.
6 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
А ко не би пао и поклонио се, онај час биће бачен у пећ огњену ужарену.
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.
Зато сви народи како чуше рог, свирале, китаре, гусле, псалтире и свакојаке свирке, попадаше сви народи, племена и језици, и поклонише се златном лику који постави цар Навуходоносор.
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans have drawn near, and accused the Jews;
А неки Халдеји тај час дођоше и тужише Јевреје,
9 they have answered, indeed, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for all ages!
И проговорише и рекоше цару Навуходоносору: Царе, да си жив до века!
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;
Ти си, царе, заповедио, сваки ко чује рог, свирале, китаре, гусле, псалтире, и певање и свакојаке свирке, да падне и поклони се златном лику;
11 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
А ко не би пао и поклонио се, да се баци у пећ огњену ужарену.
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.”
А имају људи Јевреји, које си поставио над пословима земље вавилонске, Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго; ти људи, царе, не хају за те, не поштују твоје богове, и не клањају се златном лику, који си поставио.
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.
Тада Навуходоносор у гневу и љутини заповеди да доведу Седраха, Мисаха и Авденага. И доведоше те људе пред цара.
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?
Навуходоносор проговори и рече им: Је ли истина Седраше, Мисаше и Авденаго, да ви не служите мојим боговима и да се не клањате златном лику који поставих?
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?”
Јесте ли дакле готови, кад чујете рог, свирале, китаре, гусле, псалтире и певање и свакојаке свирке, да паднете и поклоните се лику који начиних? Ако ли се не поклоните, онај час бићете бачени у пећ огњену ужарену; а који је бог што ће вас избавити из мојих руку?
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.
Одговорише Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, и рекоше цару Навуходоносору: Није нам потребно да ти одговоримо на то.
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.
Ево, Бог наш, коме ми служимо, може нас избавити из пећи огњене ужарене; и избавиће нас из твојих руку царе.
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.”
А и да не би, знај, царе, да боговима твојим нећемо служити нити ћемо се поклонити златном лику, који си поставио.
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;
Тада се Навуходоносор напуни гнева, и лице му се промени на Седраха, Мисаха и Авденага, и одговарајући заповеди да се ужари пећ седам пута већма него шта беше обичај.
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.
И заповеди најјачим људима што беху у војсци његовој да свежу Седраха, Мисаха и Авденага, и да их баце у пећ огњену ужарену.
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.
Тада свезаше оне људе у плаштима њиховим и у обући и под капама и у свему оделу њиховом, и бацише их у пећ огњену ужарену.
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.
Како заповест царева беше хитна и пећ врло ужарена, пламен огњени уби оне људе који бацаху Седраха, Мисаха и Авденага.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace—bound.
А та три човека, Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, падоше усред пећи огњене ужарене.
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.”
Тада се препаде цар Навуходоносор, и брже устав проговори и рече својим дворанима: Не бацисмо ли три човека свезана у огањ? Одговорише и рекоше цару: Да, царе.
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.”
Одговори и рече: Ено, видим четири човека одрешена где ходе посред огња и није им ништа, и четврти као да је Син Божји.
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;
Тада приступи Навуходоносор на врата огњеној пећи ужареној, и проговори и рече: Седраше, Мисаше и Авденаго, слуге Бога Вишњег, изиђите и ходите. Тада Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго изиђоше исред огња.
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.
И сабраше се кнезови и управитељи и војводе и већници цареви, и видеше те људе где им телу огањ ништа не може, нити им се коса на глави опали, нити им се плашти шта променише, нити задах од огња приону за њих.
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.
Проговори Навуходоносор и рече: Да је благословен Бог Седрахов, Мисахов и Авденагов, који посла анђела свог и избави слуге своје, које се у Њ поуздаше и не послушаше заповести цареве и дадоше телеса своја да не би служили нити се поклонили другом богу осим свог Бога.
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.”
Зато заповедам да се сваки ког му драго народа и племена и језика, који би похулио на Бога Седраховог, Мисаховог и Авденаговог, да се исече и кућа да му буде буњиште, јер нема другог бога који може тако избавити.
30 Then the king has caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
Тада цар узвиси Седраха, Мисаха и Авденага у земљи вавилонској.
