Danieli 3
1 Na rĩrĩ, Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru nĩathondekithirie mũhianano wa thahabu, wa mĩkono mĩrongo ĩtandatũ kũraiha na igũrũ, na mĩkono ĩtandatũ kwarama, na akĩũhaandithia werũ-inĩ wa Dura kũu bũrũri wa Babuloni.
Nebuchad-nezzar the King made an image of gold, whose height was three score cubits, and the breadth thereof sixe cubites: hee set it vp in the plaine of Dura, in the prouince of Babel.
2 Nebukadinezaru agĩcooka agĩĩta anene, na anyabara, na abarũthi, na ataari a mũthamaki, na aigi kĩgĩĩna, na aciirithania, na mawakiri, na anene a mabũrũri make mothe moke kĩamũro-inĩ gĩa kwamũra mũhianano ũcio aahandithĩtie.
Then Nebuchad-nezzar ye King sent foorth to gather together the nobles, the princes and the dukes, the iudges, the receiuers, the counsellers, the officers, and all the gouernours of the prouinces, that they should come to the dedication of the image, which Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, anene, na anyabara, na abarũthi, na ataari a mũthamaki, na aigi kĩgĩĩna, na aciirithania, na mawakiri, na anene othe a mabũrũri makĩgomana nĩ ũndũ wa kwamũra mũhianano ũcio Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru aahaandithĩtie, nao makĩrũgama mbere yaguo.
So the nobles, princes and dukes, the iudges, the receiuers, the counsellers, the officers, and all the gouernours of the prouinces were assembled vnto the dedicating of the image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp: and they stood before the image, which Nebuchad-nezzar had set vp.
4 Nake mũhuhi coro akĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ andũ a iruka ciothe na a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, na a mĩario yothe ta thikĩrĩriai ũrĩa mũthamaki aathanĩte mwĩke.
Then an herald cried aloude, Be it knowen to you, O people, nations, and languages,
5 Rĩrĩa mũrĩigua mũgambo wa coro, na mĩtũrirũ, na thethe, na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, na mĩtũrirũ ĩrĩa mĩariĩ, o hamwe na ũini wa mĩthemba yothe-rĩ, o rĩmwe mwĩgũithie thĩ mũhooe mũhianano ũcio wa thahabu ũrĩa Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru aahaandithĩtie.
That when ye heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, ye fall downe and worship the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King hath set vp,
6 Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũtekwĩgũithia thĩ na ahooe, o hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩegũikio icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki ũgwakana mũno.”
And whosoeuer falleth not downe and worshippeth, shall the same houre bee cast into the middes of an hote fierie fornace.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩrĩa andũ acio maiguire mũgambo wa coro, na mĩtũrirũ, na thethe, na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, na ũini wa mĩthemba yothe, andũ othe, na ndũrĩrĩ, na andũ a mĩario yothe makĩĩgũithia thĩ, makĩhooya mũhianano ũcio wa thahabu ũrĩa Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru aahaandithĩtie.
Therefore assoone as all the people heard the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and all instruments of musike, all the people, nations, and languages fell downe, and worshipped the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp.
8 Ihinda o rĩu arori a njata amwe makĩyumĩria, magĩcuuka Ayahudi,
By reason whereof at that same time came men of the Caldeans, and grieuously accused the Iewes.
9 makĩĩra Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru atĩrĩ, “Wee mũthamaki ũrotũũra tene na tene!
For they spake and said to the King Nebuchad-nezzar, O King, liue for euer.
10 Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũthamaki nĩũrutĩte uuge waku, ũkoiga atĩ rĩrĩa mũndũ o wothe akaigua mũgambo wa coro, na mĩtũrirũ, na thethe, na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, na mĩtũrirũ ĩrĩa mĩariĩ, na ũini wa mĩthemba yothe no nginya egũithie thĩ, ahooe mũhianano ũcio wa thahabu,
Thou, O King, hast made a decree, that euery man that shall heare the sounde of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, shall fall downe and worship the golden image,
11 na ũkoiga atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũtekwĩgũithia thĩ aũhooe, nĩagaikio icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki ũgwakana mũno.
And whosoeuer falleth not downe, and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the mids of an hote fierie fornace.
12 No rĩrĩ, nĩ harĩ Ayahudi amwe arĩa wee ũigĩte a kũrora maũndũ ma bũrũri wa Babuloni, na nĩo Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, arĩa matakũiguaga, wee mũthamaki. Matitungatagĩra ngai ciaku, kana makahooya mũhianano wa thahabu ũcio ũhandithĩtie.”
There are certeine Iewes whome thou hast set ouer the charge of ye prouince of Babel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: these men, O King, haue not regarded thy commandement, neither wil they serue thy gods, nor worship the golden image, that thou hast set vp.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Nebukadinezaru agĩcinwo nĩ marakara, nake agĩtũmanĩra Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego mareehwo harĩ we. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio makĩreehwo mbere ya mũthamaki,
Then Nebuchad-nezzar in his anger and wrath commanded that they should bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: so these men were brought before the King.
14 nake Nebukadinezaru akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũhoro wa ma wee Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, atĩ mũtitungatagĩra ngai ciakwa, o na kana mũkahooya mũhianano wa thahabu ũcio handithĩtie?
And Nebuchad-nezzar spake, and said vnto them, What disorder? will not you, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego serue my god, nor worship the golden image, that I haue set vp?
15 Rĩu-rĩ, mũngĩĩhaarĩria nĩgeetha rĩrĩa mũrĩigua mũgambo wa coro, na mĩtũrirũ, na thethe, na kĩnanda gĩa kĩnũbi, na kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto, na mĩtũrirũ ĩrĩa mĩariĩ, na ũini wa mĩthemba yothe, mwĩgũithie thĩ, mũhooe mũhianano ũcio niĩ thondekithĩtie, nĩ wega mũno. No rĩrĩ, mũngĩrega kũhooya mũhianano ũcio-rĩ, nĩmũgũikio o ro rĩmwe icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki ũgwakana mũno. Na rĩrĩ, hihi nĩ ngai ĩrĩkũ ĩngĩhota kũmũhonokia kuuma guoko-inĩ gwakwa?”
Now therefore are ye ready when ye heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, to fall downe, and worship the image, which I haue made? for if ye worship it not, ye shall be cast immediatly into the middes of an hote fierie fornace: for who is that God, that can deliuer you out of mine handes?
16 Nao Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego magĩcookeria mũthamaki, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee Nebukadinezaru, ithuĩ tũtibataire kwĩyarĩrĩria tũrĩ mbere yaku igũrũ rĩa ũhoro ũyũ.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the King, O Nebuchad-nezzar, we are not carefull to answere thee in this matter.
17 Tũngĩikio icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki ũgwakana mũno-rĩ, Ngai ũrĩa ithuĩ tũtungataga e na ũhoti wa gũtũruta thĩinĩ warĩo, na nĩwe ũgũtũhonokia kuuma guoko-inĩ gwaku, wee mũthamaki.
Beholde, our God whom we serue, is able to deliuer vs from the hote fierie fornace, and hee will deliuer vs out of thine hand, O King.
18 No rĩrĩ, o na angĩaga gũtũhonokia-rĩ, nĩtũkwenda ũmenye, wee mũthamaki, atĩ ithuĩ tũtingĩtungatĩra ngai ciaku, kana tũhooe mũhianano wa thahabu ũcio wee ũhandithĩtie.”
But if not, bee it knowen to thee, O King, that wee will not serue thy gods, nor worship the golden image, which thou hast set vp.
19 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Nebukadinezaru akĩrakara mũno nĩ ũndũ wa Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, na agĩtukia gĩthiithi nĩ ũndũ wao. Agĩcooka agĩathana, akiuga icua rĩu rĩongererwo ngũ nĩguo rĩhiũhe maita mũgwanja ma ũrĩa rĩakoragwo rĩhiũhĩte.
Then was Nebuchad-nezzar full of rage, and the forme of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore hee charged and commanded that they should heate the fornace at once seuen times more then it was wont to be heat.
20 Nebukadinezaru agĩatha thigari imwe iria ciarĩ na hinya mũno ita-inĩ rĩake ciohe Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, imaikie icua-inĩ rĩu rĩa mwaki wakanĩte mũno.
And hee charged the most valiant men of warre that were in his armie, to binde Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the hote fierie fornace.
21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio, mehumbĩte kanjũ ciao, na thuruarĩ, na iremba, o na nguo icio ingĩ-rĩ, makĩohwo na magĩikio icua-inĩ rĩu rĩa mwaki wakanĩte mũno.
So these men were bounde in their coates, their hosen, and their clokes, with their other garments, and cast into the middes of the hote fierie fornace.
22 Watho ũcio wa mũthamaki warĩ wa ihenya mũno, narĩo icua rĩkahiũha mũno, ũũ atĩ nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki ũcio cioragire thigari iria cianyiitĩte Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego,
Therefore, because the Kings commandement was straite, that the fornace should be exceeding hote, the flame of the fire slew those men that brought foorth Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
23 nao andũ acio atatũ, moohetwo makarũmio, makĩgũa icua-inĩ rĩu rĩa mwaki wakanĩte mũno.
And these three men Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego fell downe bound into the middes of the hote fierie fornace.
24 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru akĩgega, akĩrũgama na igũrũ o rĩmwe, akĩũria andũ arĩa maamũheaga kĩrĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ti andũ atatũ tuohire na twamaikia mwaki-inĩ?” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩ ma ũguo nĩguo, mũthamaki.”
Then Nebuchad-nezzar the King was astonied and rose vp in haste, and spake, and saide vnto his counsellers, Did not wee cast three men bound into the middes of the fire? Who answered and said vnto the King, It is true, O King.
25 Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, ta rorai! Niĩ ndĩrona andũ ana magĩcangacanga mwaki-inĩ, matarĩ ohe kana makahutio nĩ mwaki, nake ũcio wa kana ahaana ta ũmwe wa ariũ a ngai.”
And he answered, and said, Loe, I see foure men loose, walking in the middes of the fire, and they haue no hurt, and the forme of the fourth is like the sonne of God.
26 Nebukadinezaru agĩkuhĩrĩria mũromo-inĩ wa icua rĩu rĩakanaga mwaki, akĩanĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego, inyuĩ ndungata cia Ngai-Ũrĩa-ũrĩ Igũrũ-Mũno, umĩrai, mũũke haha!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego makiumĩra mwaki-inĩ ũcio,
Then the King Nebuchad-nezzar came neere to the mouth of the hote fierie fornace, and spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the seruants of the hie God goe foorth and come hither: so Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came foorth of the middes of the fire.
27 nao anene, na anyabara, na abarũthi, na arĩa maataaraga mũthamaki othe makĩmarigiicĩria, makĩĩonera atĩ mwaki ndwamekĩte ũũru mĩĩrĩ yao, kana rũcuĩrĩ rwa mĩtwe yao rũkahĩa, o na nguo iria mehumbĩte itiahĩte, na matianungaga mwaki o na atĩa.
Then the nobles, princes and dukes, and the Kings counsellers came together to see these men, because the fire had no power ouer their bodies: for not an heare of their head was burnt, neither was their coates changed, nor any smelll of fire came vpon them.
28 Nake Nebukadinezaru akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai wa Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego arogoocwo, ũrĩa ũtũmĩte mũraika wake, ateithũre ndungata ciake! Mamwĩhokire, magĩkararia watho wa mũthamaki, na nĩmekwĩhaarĩirie kũruta mĩoyo yao handũ ha gũtungatĩra kana kũhooya ngai ingĩ, tiga Ngai ũcio wao.
Wherefore Nebuchad-nezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who hath sent his Angel, and deliuered his seruants, that put their trust in him, and haue changed the Kings commandement, and yeelded their bodies rather then they would serue or worship any god, saue their owne God.
29 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩndaruta watho atĩ andũ a rũrĩrĩ o ruothe kana rwario arĩa makaaria ũndũ o wothe wa gũũkĩrĩra Ngai wa Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego magatinangio icunjĩ, na nyũmba ciao imomorwo ituĩke hĩba ya mahiga, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ ngai ĩngĩ ĩngĩhonokania na njĩra ĩno.”
Therefore I make a decree, that euery people, nation, and language, which speake any blasphemie against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, shalbe drawen in pieces, and their houses shall be made a iakes, because there is no god that can deliuer after this sort.
30 Nake mũthamaki agĩtũũgĩria Shadiraka, na Meshaki, na Abedinego kũu bũrũri wa Babuloni.
Then the King promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the prouince of Babel.
