Daniel 3
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was eighty-eight feet seven inches, and its breadth eight feet ten inches: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
Wa Nebucadnetsar te fè yon estati fèt an lò ak yon imaj lò, wotè a sila a te swasant koude e lajè li sis koude. Li te fè l monte sou plèn Dura nan pwovens a Babylone.
2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Epi Nebucadnetsar, wa a, te voye rasanble tout satrap yo, prefè yo, gouvènè yo, konseye yo, trezorye yo, jij yo, tout majistra ak chèf an pwovens yo pou vini nan seremoni dedikas imaj ke Nebucadnetsar, wa a, te fè monte a.
3 Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Konsa, satrap yo, prefè yo, gouvènè yo, konseye yo, trezorye yo, jij yo, majistra yo ak tout chèf an pwovens yo te rasanble pou seremoni dedikas imaj ke Nebucadnetsar te fè monte a; epi yo te kanpe devan imaj ke Nebucadnetsar te fè monte a.
4 Then the herald cried aloud, "To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,
Moun ki konn fè piblikasyon pou wa a te pwoklame byen fò: “A nou menm, lòd la bay O pèp yo, nasyon yo ak tout lang yo,
5 that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up;
ke nan moman ke nou tande son a twonpèt la, flit la, bandyo a, saltiyon an, gita a, kònmiz lan, ak tout lòt kalite enstriman mizik yo, nou va pwostène nou pou adore imaj an lò ke Nebucadnetsar, wa a, te fè monte a.
6 and whoever doesn't fall down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."
Men, nenpòt moun ki pa pwostène pou adore va, lapoula, vin jete nan yon founo dife byen cho.”
7 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Pou sa, lè tout pèp yo te tande son a twonpèt la, flit la, bandyo a, saltiyon an, gita a, kònmiz lan, ak tout lòt kalite enstriman mizik yo, tout pèp yo, nasyon yo ak langaj yo te pwostène e te adore imaj an lò ke Nebucadnetsar, wa a, te fè monte a.
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.
Pou rezon sa a, nan lè sa a, kèk Kaldeyen te vin parèt pou fè pwosè kont Jwif yo.
9 They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, "O king, live for ever.
Yo te pale e te di a Nebucadnetsar, wa a: “O wa, viv jis pou tout tan!
10 You, O king, have made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;
Ou menm, O wa, ou te fè yon dekrè ke tout moun ki tande son a twonpèt la, flit la, bandyo a, saltiyon an, gita a, kònmiz lan, ak tout lòt kalite enstriman mizik yo, yo va pwostène pou adore imaj an lò a.
11 and whoever doesn't fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
Men nenpòt moun ki pa pwostène, va jete nan mitan a yon founo dife byen cho.
12 There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not regarded you: they do not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up."
Genyen sèten Jwif ke ou te chwazi sou administrasyon pwovens Babylone nan, Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego. Mesye sila yo, O wa, pa t okipe ou. Yo pa sèvi dye pa ou yo, ni adore imaj an lò ke ou te fè monte a.”
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
Epi Nebucadnetsar byen anraje ak kòlè te pase lòd pou mennen Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego. Epi mesye sila yo te mennen devan wa a.
14 Nebuchadnezzar answered them, "Is it on purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not serve my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
Nebucadnetsar te reponn e te di yo: “Èske se vrè, Schadrac, Méschac ak abed-Nego, ke nou pa sèvi dye mwen yo, ni adore imaj an lò ke mwen te fè monte a?
15 Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, well: but if you do not worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that god that shall deliver you out of my hands?"
Alò, si nou pare, nan moman nou tande son a twonpèt la, flit la, bandyo a, saltiyon an, gita a, kònmiz lan, ak tout lòt kalite enstriman mizik yo, pou nou pwostène e adore imaj ke mwen te fè a, se byen. Men, si nou pa adore, nou va byen vit jete nan yon founo dife byen cho. Epi ki dye ki genyen ki kapab delivre nou sòti nan men mwen?”
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, "Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego te reponn a wa a: “O Nebucadnetsar, nou pa oblije bay ou yon repons a kesyon sa a.
17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
Si se konsa, Bondye nou an, Sila ke nou sèvi a, kapab delivre nou soti nan founo dife byen cho a; epi Li va delivre nou sòti nan men ou, O wa.
18 But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up."
Men menm si li pa fè sa, kite sa vin konnen a ou menm, O wa, ke nou p ap sèvi dye pa ou yo ni adore imaj fèt an lò ke ou te fè monte a.”
19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Therefore he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.
Konsa, Nebucadnetsar te ranpli ak chalè kòlè e figi li te vin move kont Schadrac Méschac ak Abed-Nego. Li te reponn ak bay lòd pou monte chalè founo a sèt fwa plis ke li te konn brile a.
20 He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
Li te kòmande sèten gèrye vanyan ki te nan lame li a pou mare Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego, pou yo ta jete yo nan founo dife byen cho a.
21 Then these men were bound in their cloaks, trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Alò, mesye sila yo te mare nèt ak pantalon yo, mayo yo, kas yo, ak tout lòt rad pa yo, e yo te jete nan mitan founo dife byen cho a.
22 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Pou rezon sa a, akoz lòd a wa te byen ijan e founo a te vin tèlman cho, flanm dife a te touye mesye ki te pote, fè monte, Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego yo.
23 These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Men twa mesye sila yo, Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego te tonbe nan mitan founo dife byen cho a toujou mare.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up quickly. He spoke and said to his ministers, "Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?" They answered the king, "True, O king."
Epi Nebucadnetsar, wa a, te vin etone e te kanpe vit. Li te di a wo ofisye li yo: “Se pa twa mesye nou te voye jete tou mare nan mitan dife a?” Yo te reponn a wa a: “Byen si, O wa.”
25 He answered, "Look, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are unharmed; and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods."
Li te di: “Gade! Mwen wè kat mesye lage k ap mache toupatou nan mitan dife a san yo pa gen anyen e aparans a katriyèm nan se tankou yon fis a dye yo!”
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come here." Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came forth out of the midst of the fire.
Epi Nebucadnetsar te vin toupre pòt founo dife byen cho a. Li te pale e te di: “Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego, vini deyò, sèvitè a Bondye Pi Wo a, e vini isit!” Konsa, Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego te sòti nan mitan dife a.
27 The satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the king's ministers, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their trousers changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.
Satrap yo, prefè yo, gouvènè yo, ak wo ofisye a wa yo te reyini antoure yo. Yo te wè ke dife a pa t fè okenn efè sou kò a mesye sila yo. Ni menm cheve yo pa t brile, pantalon pa yo pa t abime, ni sant dife a pa t rive sou yo.
28 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
Nebucadnetsar te pale. Li te di: “Beni se Bondye a Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego a, ki te voye zanj Li pou te delivre sèvitè Li yo ki te mete konfyans yo nan Li, ki te chanje lòd a wa a e ki te sede bay kò yo pou yo pa ta sèvi ni adore okenn lòt dye sof ke Bondye pa yo a.
29 Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be reduced to rubble; because there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way."
Konsa, mwen fè yon dekrè ke nenpòt pèp, nasyon, oswa lang ki pale yon bagay kont Bondye a Schadrac, Méschac, ak Abed-Nego a, li va chire mòso an mòso, e lakay pa li va redwi a yon pil ranblè, paske nanpwen lòt dye ki kapab delivre konsa.”
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
Answit, wa a te fè Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego vin pwospere nan pwovens Babylone nan.
