Daniel 3
1 Nabugodonosor, the kyng, made a goldun ymage, in the heiythe of sixti cubitis, and in the breede of sixe cubitis; and he settide it in the feeld of Duram, of the prouynce of Babiloyne.
Kralj Nabukodonozor odredi da se načini zlatni kip, visok šezdeset lakata i širok šest, i da ga postave u ravnici Duri, u pokrajini babilonskoj.
2 Therfor Nabugodonosor sente to gadere togidere the wise men, magistratis, and iugis, and duykis, and tirauntis, and prefectis, and alle princes of cuntreis, that thei schulden come togidere to the halewyng of the ymage, which the kyng Nabugodonosor hadde reisid.
Kralj Nabukodonozor pozva satrape, namjesnike, upravitelje, savjetnike, rizničare, suce i zakonoznance i sve namjesnike pokrajina da dođu na posvetu kipa što ga podiže kralj Nabukodonozor.
3 Thanne the wise men, magistratis, and iugis, and duykis, and tirauntis, and beste men, that weren set in poweris, and alle the princes of cuntreis, weren gaderid togidere, that thei schulden come togidere to the halewyng of the ymage, which the kyng Nabugodonosor hadde reisid. Forsothe thei stoden in the siyt of the ymage, which Nabugodonosor hadde set; and a bedele criede myytili,
Tada se sakupiše satrapi, namjesnici, upravitelji, savjetnici, rizničari, suci i zakonoznanci i svi namjesnici pokrajinske vlasti na posvetu kipa što ga podiže kralj Nabukodonozor. I stadoše pred kip što podiže Nabukodonozor.
4 It is seid to you, puplis, kynredis, and langagis;
Glasnik proglasi: “O narodi, plemena i jezici, evo što vam se naređuje:
5 in the our in which ye heren the soun of trumpe, and of pipe, and of harpe, of sambuke, of sawtre, and of symphonye, and of al kynde of musikis, falle ye doun, and worschipe the goldun ymage, which the kyng Nabugodonosor made.
u času kad začujete zvuke roga, frule, citre, sambuke, psaltira, gajda i svakovrsnih drugih glazbala, bacite se na tlo i poklonite se zlatnome kipu što ga podiže kralj Nabukodonozor!
6 Sotheli if ony man fallith not doun, and worschipith not, in the same our he schal be sent in to the furneis of fier brennynge.
Tko se ne baci na tlo i ne pokloni, bit će smjesta bačen u peć užarenu.”
7 Therfor aftir these thingis, anoon as alle puplis herden the sown of trumpe, of pipe, and of harpe, of sambuke, and of sawtre, of symphonye, and of al kynde of musikis, alle puplis, lynagis, and langagis fellen doun, and worschipiden the golden ymage, which the kyng Nabugodonosor hadde maad.
Zato, čim začuše zvuk roga, frule, citre, sambuke, psaltira, gajda i svakovrsnih drugih glazbala, baciše se na tlo svi narodi, plemena i jezici klanjajući se zlatnome kipu što ga podiže kralj Nabukodonozor.
8 And anoon in that tyme men of Caldee neiyiden, and accusiden the Jewis,
Uto dođoše neki Kaldejci i optužiše Judejce.
9 and seiden to the kyng Nabugodonosor, Kyng, lyue thou with outen ende.
Rekoše kralju Nabukodonozoru: “O kralju, živ bio dovijeka!
10 Thou, kyng, hast set a decree, that ech man that herith the sown of trumpe, of pipe, and of harpe, of sambuke, and of sawtree, and of symphonye, and of al kynde of musikis, bowe doun hym silf, and worschipe the goldun ymage; forsothe if ony man fallith not doun,
Ti si, kralju, naredio svakom čovjeku koji začuje zvuke roga, frule, citre, sambuke, psaltira, gajda i svakovrsnih drugih glazbala da se baci na tlo i da se pokloni zlatnome kipu;
11 and worschipith not, be he sent in to the furneis of fier brennynge.
a tko se ne baci na tlo i ne pokloni, da bude bačen u peć užarenu.
12 Therfor men Jewis ben, Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, whiche thou hast ordeynede on the werkis of the cuntrei of Babiloyne. Thou kyng, these men han dispisid thi decree; thei onouren not thi goddis, and thei worshipen not the goldun ymage, which thou reisidist.
A evo, ovdje su Judejci koje si postavio za upravitelje pokrajine babilonske: Šadrak, Mešak i Abed Nego. Ti ljudi ne mare za te, o kralju; oni ne štuju tvojih bogova i nisu se poklonili zlatnome kipu što si ga podigao.”
13 Thanne Nabugodonosor comaundide, in woodnesse and in wraththe, that Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago schulden be brouyt; whiche weren brouyt anoon in the siyt of the kyng.
Nabukodonozor, bijesan i gnjevan, pozva Šadraka, Mešaka i Abed Nega. Odmah ih dovedoše pred kralja.
14 And the kyng Nabugodonosor pronounside, and seide to hem, Whether verili Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, ye onouren not my goddis, and worschipen not the golden ymage, which Y made?
A Nabukodonozor im reče: “Je li istina, Šadrače, Mešače i Abed Nego, da vi ne štujete mojih bogova i da se ne klanjate zlatnome kipu što ga podigoh?
15 Now therfor be ye redi, in what euer our ye heren the sown of trumpe, of pipe, of harpe, of sambuke, of sawtree, and of symphonye, and of al kynde of musikis, bowe ye doun you, and worschipe the ymage which Y made; that if ye worschipen not, in the same our ye schulen be sent in to the furneis of fier brennynge; and who is God, that schal delyuere you fro myn hond?
Jeste li voljni, čim začujete zvuk roga, frule, citre, sambuke, psaltira, gajda i svakovrsnih drugih glazbala, baciti se na tlo i pokloniti se kipu što ga načinih? Ako li mu se ne poklonite, bit ćete smjesta bačeni u peć užarenu; i koji je taj bog koji bi vas izbavio iz ruke moje?”
16 Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago answeriden, and seiden to the king Nabugodonosor, It nedith not, that we answere of this thing to thee.
Šadrak, Mešak i Abed Nego odgovoriše kralju Nabukodonozoru: “Ne treba da ti odgovorimo na to.
17 For whi oure God, whom we worschipen, mai rauysche vs fro the chymenei of fier brennynge, and mai delyuere fro thin hondis, thou kyng.
Bog naš, kome služimo, može nas izbaviti iz užarene peći i od ruke tvoje, kralju; on će nas i izbaviti.
18 That if he nyle, be it knowun to thee, thou kyng, that we onouren not thi goddis, and we worschipen not the goldun ymage, which thou hast reisid.
No ako toga i ne učini, znaj, o kralju: mi nećemo služiti tvojemu bogu niti ćemo se pokloniti kipu što si ga podigao.”
19 Thanne Nabugodonosor was fillid of woodnesse, and the biholdyng of his face was chaungid on Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago. And he comaundide, that the furneis schulde be maad hattere seuenfold, than it was wont to be maad hoot.
Na te riječi kralj Nabukodonozor uskipje bijesom, a lice mu se iznakazi na Šadraka, Mešaka i Abed Nega.
20 And he comaundide to the strongeste men of his oost, that thei schulden bynde the feet of Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, and sende hem in to the furneis of fier brennynge.
On naredi da se peć ugrije sedam puta jače no inače i jakim ljudima iz svoje vojske zapovjedi da svežu Šadraka, Mešaka i Abed Nega i bace u peć punu žarkoga ognja.
21 And anoon tho men weren boundun, with brechis, and cappis, and schoon, and clothis, and weren sent in to the myddis of the furneis of fier brennynge;
Svezaše ih, dakle, i u plaštevima, obući i kapama baciše u zažarenu peć.
22 for whi comaundement of the kyng constreinede. Forsothe the furneis was maad ful hoot; certis the flawme of the fier killid tho men, that hadden sent Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago in to the furneis.
Kako kraljeva zapovijed bijaše žurna a peć preko mjere užarena, plamen ubi ljude koji su bacali Šadraka, Mešaka i Abed Nega.
23 Sotheli these thre men, Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago, fellen doun boundun in the mydis of the chymenei of fier brennynge.
A tri čovjeka - Šadrak, Mešak i Abed Nego - padoše svezani u zažarenu peć.
24 Thanne kyng Nabugodonosor was astonyed, and roos hastily, and seide to hise beste men, Whether we senten not thre men feterid in to the myddis of the fier? Whiche answeriden the kyng, and seiden, Verili, kyng.
Tada se kralj Nabukodonozor zaprepasti i brzo ustade. Zapita svoje savjetnike: “Nismo li bacili ova tri čovjeka svezana u oganj?” Oni odgovoriše: “Jesmo, kralju!”
25 The kyng answeride, and seide, Lo! Y se foure men vnboundun, and goynge in the myddis of the fier, and no thing of corrupcioun is in hem; and the licnesse of the fourthe is lijk the sone of God.
On reče: “Ali ja vidim četiri čovjeka, odriješeni šeću po vatri i ništa im se zlo ne događa; četvrti je sličan sinu Božjemu.”
26 Thanne the kyng Nabugodonosor neiyide to the dore of the furneis of fier brennynge, and seide, Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, the seruauntis of hiy God lyuynge, go ye out, and come ye. And anoon Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, yeden out of the myddis of the fier.
Nabukodonozor priđe vratima užarene peći i viknu: “Šadrače, Mešače i Abed Nego, sluge Boga Višnjega, iziđite i dođite ovamo!” Tada iziđoše iz ognja Šadrak, Mešak i Abed Nego.
27 And the wise men, and magistratis, and iugis, and miyti men of the kyng, weren gaderid togidere, and bihelden tho men, for the fier hadde had no thing of power in the bodies of hem, and an heer of her heed was not brent; also the breechis of hem weren not chaungid, and the odour of fier hadde not passid bi hem.
Sakupiše se satrapi, starješine, upravitelji i kraljevi savjetnici da vide te ljude: oganj ne bijaše naudio njihovu tijelu, kosa im na glavi neopaljena, plaštevi im neoštećeni, nikakav se zadah ognja ne bijaše uhvatio njih.
28 And Nabugodonosor brac out, and seide, Blessid be the God of hem, that is, of Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, that sente his aungel, and delyueride hise seruauntis, that bileuyden in to hym, and chaungiden the word of the kyng, and yauen her bodies, that thei schulden not serue, and that thei schulden not worschipe ony god, outakun her God aloone.
Nabukodonozor viknu: “Blagoslovljen bio Bog Šadrakov, Mešakov i Abed Negov, koji je poslao svog anđela i izbavio svoje sluge, one koji se uzdahu u njega te se ne pokoriše kraljevoj naredbi, već radije predadoše svoje tijelo ognju negoli da štuju ili se klanjaju drugome osim svome Bogu!
29 Therfor this decree is set of me, that ech puple, and langagis, and lynagis, who euer spekith blasfemye ayen God of Sidrac, and of Mysaac, and of Abdenago, perische, and his hous be distried; for noon other is God, that mai saue so.
Naređujem dakle: O narodi, plemena i jezici, svatko između vas tko bi pogrdio Boga Šadrakova, Mešakova i Abed Negova neka bude raskomadan, a njegova kuća pretvorena u smetlište, jer nema boga koji bi mogao izbaviti kao ovaj.”
30 Thanne the kyng auaunside Sidrac, Mysaac, and Abdenago, in the prouynce of Babiloyne; and sente in to al the lond a pistle, conteynynge these wordis.
Tada kralj uzvisi Šadraka, Mešaka i Abed Nega na visoke položaje u pokrajini babilonskoj.
