1 Fia Nebukadnezar wɔ sikalegba aɖe wòkɔ afɔ blaasiekɛ, eye wòkeke afɔ asiekɛ. Ekɔe da ɖe Dura gbegbe le Babilonianyigba dzi.
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.
2 Esia megbe la, eyɔ amegãwo, anyigba la dzi ɖulawo, mɔmefiawo, gadzikpɔlawo, ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo, sefialawo kple nutomedzikpɔlawo be woava kpɔ legba si yeli la ŋuti kɔkɔ teƒe.
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.
3 Ale amegãwo, dziɖulawo, aɖaŋudelawo gadzikpɔlawo, ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo, sefialawo kple nutomedzikpɔlawo va ƒo ƒu hena legba si Fia Nebukadnezar li la ŋuti kɔkɔ teƒe kpɔkpɔ, eye wotsi tsitre ɖe eŋgɔ.
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,
4 Tete gbeƒãɖela do ɣli sesĩe gblɔ be, “Nu si wode se be miawɔe nye esi: O amewo, dukɔwo kple gbe ɖe sia ɖe gblɔlawo,
It is seid to you, puplis, kynredis, and langagis;
5 ne mienya se lãdzowo, dzewo, gakasaŋkuwo, saŋkuwo, evenɔwo ƒe dzewo kple saŋku ƒomevi vovovowo ƒe ɖiɖi ko la, ele be miamlɔ anyi eye miade ta agu na sikalegba si Fia Nebukadnezar li.
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.
6 Ame sia ame si mamlɔ anyi eye wòade ta agu o la, woadae ɖe kpodzo bibi la me enumake.”
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.
7 Eya ta ne amewo nya se lãdzowo, dzewo, gakasaŋkuwo, saŋkuwo, evenɔwo ƒe dzewo kple saŋku ƒomevi vovovowo ƒe ɖiɖi ko la, amewo katã, dukɔwo me tɔwo kple gbe ɖe sia ɖe gblɔlawo mlɔa anyi eye wodea ta agu na sikalegba si Fia Nebukadnezar li.
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.
8 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, ɣletivimenunyala aɖewo va tso Yudatɔwo nu.
And anoon in that tyme men of Caldee neiyiden, and accusiden the Jewis,
9 Wogblɔ na Fia Nebukadnezar be, “O fia, nɔ agbe tegbee.
and seiden to the kyng Nabugodonosor, Kyng, lyue thou with outen ende.
10 Ède se, O fia, be ne ame sia ame se lãdzowo, dzewo, gakasaŋkuwo, saŋkuwo, evenɔwo ƒe dzewo kple saŋku ƒomevi vovovowo ƒe ɖiɖi la, ele nɛ be wòamlɔ anyi ade ta agu na sikalegba la
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,
11 eye ame sia ame si mamlɔ anyi ade ta agu o la, woadae ɖe kpodzo si me dzo le bibim le la me.
and worschipith not, be he sent in to the furneis of fier brennynge.
12 Ke Yudatɔ aɖewo li, ame siwo nètsɔ ɖo dziɖuɖu ƒe nyawo nu le Babilonia siwo nye Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego, ame siwo metsɔa ɖeke le eme na wò o. O fia, womesubɔa wò mawuwo o, eye womedea ta agu na sikalegba si nèli la o.”
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.
13 Nebukadnezar do dɔmedzoe ŋutɔ eye wòɖo du ɖe Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego. Ale wokplɔ ame siawo va fia la ŋkume.
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.
14 Fia la bia wo be, “Nyateƒe wònye, Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego, be miesubɔa nye mawuwo o eye miedea ta agu na sikalegba si meli la o mahã?
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?
15 Azɔ la, ne miese lãdzokpẽwo, gakasaŋkuwo, kasaŋkuwo, saŋkuwo, evenɔwo ƒe kpẽwo kple hadzidzi ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe ɖiɖi eye miele klalo be yeawoatsyɔ mo anyi ade ta agu na sikalegba si meli la, ekema anyo ŋutɔ gake ne miede ta agu nɛ o la, woada mi ɖe kpodzo bibi la me enumake. Ekema mawu ka ate ŋu aɖe mi tso nye asi me?”
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?
16 Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego ɖo eŋu na fia la be, “O fia, mehiã be míaʋli mía ɖokuiwo ta le wò ŋkume le nya sia me o.
Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago answeriden, and seiden to the king Nabugodonosor, It nedith not, that we answere of this thing to thee.
17 Ne woda mí ɖo ɖe kpodzoa me la, Mawu si míesubɔna la ate ŋu aɖe mí tso eme eye wòaɖe mí tso wò asi me, O fia.
For whi oure God, whom we worschipen, mai rauysche vs fro the chymenei of fier brennynge, and mai delyuere fro thin hondis, thou kyng.
18 Ke ne maɖe mí o hã la, míedi be nànya, O fia, be míasubɔ wò mawuwo loo alo ade ta agu na sikalegba si nèli la o.”
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.
19 Tete Nebukadnezar do dɔmedzoe vevie ɖe Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego ŋu eye eƒe nɔnɔme ɖe wo ŋu trɔ. Eɖe gbe be woado dzo ɖe kpodzo la me wòaxɔ dzo zi adre wu ale si wòxɔa dzoe tsã.
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.
20 Eɖe gbe na eƒe asrafo sesẽtɔwo le eƒe aʋakɔ me be woabla Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego eye woada wo ɖe kpodzo la me.
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.
21 Ale ame siawo, ame siwo do awu ʋlayawo, tablanuwo kple awu bubuwo la, wobla wo eye wokɔ wo ƒu gbe ɖo ɖe kpodzo si xɔ dzo ŋutɔŋutɔ la me.
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;
22 Fia la ƒe gbeɖeɖe nu sẽ, eye dzokpo la hã ƒe dzoxɔxɔ nu sẽ ale gbegbe be dzo la ƒe aɖewo wu asrafo siwo kɔ Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego ƒu gbe ɖe kpodzo la me.
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.
23 Ke ame etɔ̃ siawo, ame siwo wobla sesĩe la, ge dze dzo bibi la me.
Sotheli these thre men, Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago, fellen doun boundun in the mydis of the chymenei of fier brennynge.
24 Tete Fia Nebukadnezar ƒe nu ku. Etso kpla eye wòbia eƒe aɖaŋudelawo be, “Menye ame etɔ̃e nɔ afi ma, ame siwo míebla tsɔ ƒu gbe do ɖe kpodzoa me oa?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Nenemae, O fia.”
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.
25 Fia la gblɔ be, “Mikpɔ ɖa! Mekpɔ ame ene, wole tsa ɖim le dzo la me; womebla wo o, nuvevi aɖeke mewɔ wo hã o eye ame enelia ɖi mawuwo ƒe viŋutsuvi aɖe.”
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.
26 Tete Fia Nebukadnezar te ɖe kpodzo la ƒe ʋɔtru ŋu, eye wòdo ɣli be, “Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego, Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe subɔlawo, mido go. Miva afi sia!” Ale Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego do go le kpodzo la me
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.
27 eye amegãwo, anyigbadzinunɔlawo, aʋafiawo kple aɖaŋudelawo va ƒo xlã wo. Wokpɔ be dzo la mewɔ nuvevi aɖeke woƒe ŋutilã o, dzo la mefia woƒe taɖa ɖeka pɛ hã loo alo woƒe awuwo o. Gawu la, dzo la ƒe ʋeʋẽ menɔ wo dometɔ aɖeke ŋu o.
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.
28 Tete Nebukadnezar gblɔ be, “Woakafu Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego ƒe Mawu, ame si ɖo eƒe mawudɔla ɖa eye wòɖe eƒe dɔlawo! Woxɔ edzi se eye wogbe fia la ƒe se dzi wɔwɔ, wolɔ̃ be yewoatsɔ yewoƒe agbewo ana wu be yewoasubɔ alo ade ta agu na mawu bubu negbe woawo ŋutɔ ƒe Mawu ko
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.
29 eya ta mele se dem be dukɔ sia dukɔ me tɔ alo gbe aɖe gblɔla si agblɔ nya vɔ̃ aɖe ɖe Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego ƒe Mawu ŋu la, woaflii kakɛkakɛ eye woana eƒe aƒe nazu aɖukpo elabena mawu bubu aɖeke mate ŋu aɖe ame le mɔ sia nu o.”
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.
30 Tete fia la do Sadrak, Mesak kple Abednego ɖe ŋgɔ le Babilonia nutoa me.
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.
