Daniel 3
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, made an image of gold, the height thereof, sixty cubits, the breadth thereof, six cubits, —he set it up in the valley 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 And, Nebuchadnezzar the king, sent to gather together the satraps, the nobles and the pashas, the chief judges, the treasurers, the judges, the lawyers, and all the rulers of the province, —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 were gathered together, the satraps, the nobles and the pashas, the chief judges, the treasurers, the judges, the lawyers, and all the rulers of the province, to the dedication of the image, which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up, —and they stood before the image, which 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 And, the herald, proclaimed aloud, —To you, is given the word, O ye peoples, races, and tongues:
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 At what time ye shall hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the harp, the psaltery, the bagpipes, and all kinds of instruments of music, ye shall fall down and adore the image of gold, which Nebuchadnezzar the king hath 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, whosoever shall not fall down and adore, shall, instantly, be cast into the burning furnace of fire.
Men, nenpòt moun ki pa pwostène pou adore va, lapoula, vin jete nan yon founo dife byen cho.”
7 Wherefore, at the same time—when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the harp, the psaltery, and all kinds of instruments of music, they were falling down—even all the peoples, the races, and the tongues, —adoring the image of gold, which 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 Wherefore, at the same time, drew near certain Chaldeans, —and accused the Jews:
Pou rezon sa a, nan lè sa a, kèk Kaldeyen te vin parèt pou fè pwosè kont Jwif yo.
9 they spake, and said, to Nebuchadnezzar the king: O king! for ages, live!
Yo te pale e te di a Nebucadnetsar, wa a: “O wa, viv jis pou tout tan!
10 Thou thyself, O king, hast made a decree, that, any man who shall hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, the lyre, the harp, the psaltery and the bagpipes, and all kinds of instruments of music, shall fall down and adore the image of gold;
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, whosoever shall not fall down and adore, shall be cast into the burning furnace of fire.
Men nenpòt moun ki pa pwostène, va jete nan mitan a yon founo dife byen cho.
12 There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the business of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, —these men, have made thee, O king, of no account, thy god, they serve not, and, the image of gold which thou hast set up, do they not adore.
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—with anger and wrath, gave word to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, then, these men, brought they 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 spake and said unto them, Is it, with design, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, —that, my god, ye are not serving, and, the image which I have set up, are not adoring?
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 ye be ready, at what time ye shall hear the sound of the cornet, the pipe, the lyre, the harp, the psaltery and the bagpipes, and all the instruments of music, ye shall fall down and adore the image which I have made, but, if ye shall not adore, instantly, shall ye be cast into the midst of the burning furnace of fire, —and who is the 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 Abed-nego answered, and said to the king: O Nebuchadnezzar! we are not accounting it needful, concerning this, to answer thee.
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 is, our God, whom we serve, is able to deliver us, —out of the burning furnace of fire, and out of thy hand, O king, he will deliver.
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 thee, O king, —that, thy god, will we not serve, and, the image of gold which thou hast set up, will we not adore.
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, Nebuchadnezzar, was filled with wrath, and, the likeness of his countenance, was changed, against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, —he spake and gave word to heat the furnace seven times hotter than it was ever seen 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 and, to men, who were the mightiest men in his army, gave he word to bind fast Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, —to cast them into the burning furnace of fire.
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 bound they, these men, in their trousers, their tunics, and their cloaks, and their (other) clothing, —and cast into the midst of the burning furnace of fire.
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 word of the king had raged forth, and the furnace was exceeding hot, those very men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, were slain by the flame of the fire;
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 and, these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down into the midst of the burning furnace of fire, fast bound.
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 amazed, and rose up in haste: he spake and said to his nearest friends—Were there not three men, we cast into the midst of the fire, fast bound? They answered and said to the king, Surely, 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 and said, Lo! I, see four men, unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and, injury, there is not in them, and, the appearance of the fourth, is like to 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 did Nebuchadnezzar, draw near, to the door of the burning furnace of fire, he spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the most high God, step forth and come hither. Then stepped forth Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, 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 And—being gathered together—the satraps, the nobles, and the pashas and near friends of the king, saw these men, over whose bodies the fire had, no power, nor was, a hair of their head, singed, neither were, their trousers, disfigured, —nor had, the smell of fire, come upon 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 spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his messenger, and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, —when, the word of the king, they transgressed, and delivered up their bodies, that they might not serve nor adore any god, saving 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 do I make a decree, that, whosoever of any people, race, or tongue it be that shall charge any error upon the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and, his house, into a dunghill, shall be changed; because there is no other God, who is able to deliver, like this!
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, advanced Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.
Answit, wa a te fè Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego vin pwospere nan pwovens Babylone nan.
