Danyèl 3
1 Wa Nèbikadneza te fè fè yon gwo estati lò. Estati a te gen katrevendis pye wotè ak nèf pye lajè. Li fè yo mete l' kanpe nan mitan plenn Doura a, nan pwovens Babilòn lan.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, and the breadth of it six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
2 Lèfini, wa a bay lòd pou tout otorite yo: prefè, kòmandan, gouvènè, komisè, prepoze, jij, majistra ansanm ak tout lòt chèf pwovens yo, reyini pou y'a l' nan premye seremoni y'ap fè pou mete estati lò wa a te fè fè a an sèvis.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
3 Se konsa, tout otorite yo te reyini pou gwo fèt premye seremoni an. Yo te kanpe devan estati wa a te fè fè a.
Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, 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.
4 Yonn nan moun ki te konn fè piblikasyon yo pran pale byen fò, li di: -Nou menm moun tout nasyon, moun tout ras ki pale tout kalite lang, men lòd yo ban nou.
Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
5 Talè konsa nou pral tande yo kònen twonpèt. Apre sa, yo pral jwe fif, bandjo, gita. Lèfini, yo pral jwe tout lòt enstriman mizik yo ansanm. Lè mizik la konmanse, se pou nou mete ajenou devan estati lò wa Nèbikadneza te fè fè a. Se pou nou adore l'.
That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
6 Tout moun ki refize mete ajenou devan estati a pou adore l', y'ap pran l' al lage tou vivan anndan yon gwo fou tou limen.
And whoever falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
7 Se konsa, tande moun yo tande twonpèt la ak tout lòt enstriman yo, yo tonbe ajenou devan estati lò wa Nèbikadneza te fè fè a, yo adore l'. Te gen moun tout nasyon ki soti nan tout ras, epi ki pale tout kalite lang.
Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 Lè sa a, gen kèk moun lavil Babilòn ki pwofite al denonse jwif yo.
Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
9 Yo di wa Nèbikadneza konsa: -Se pou wa a viv pou tout tan!
They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.
10 Monwa, ou fè pibliye yon lòd ki mande pou tout moun mete ajenou, pou yo adore estati lò a, lè y'a tande twonpèt ak tout lòt enstriman mizik yo ap jwe.
Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
11 Si yon moun pa mete ajenou pou adore estati a, se pou yo lage l' tout vivan nan gwo fou tou limen an.
And whoever falleth not down and worshippeth, that he shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Enben! Gen twa jwif ou te mete reskonsab pwovens Babilòn lan. Se Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego. Mesye sa yo pa okipe lòd ou bay la, monwa. Yo pa adore bondye ou la. Yo pa mete ajenou devan estati lò ou te fè fè a.
There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
13 Lè Nèbikadneza tande sa, li move anpil, li fè gwo kòlè, li bay lòd pou yo mennen Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego ba li. Lamenm, yo mennen twa mesye yo devan wa a.
Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
14 Wa a di yo konsa: -Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego, èske se vre nou derefize adore bondye mwen yo, nou derefize mete ajenou devan estati lò mwen te fè fè a?
Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do ye not serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
15 Bon, koulye a, tande n'a tande twonpèt yo ak lòt enstriman mizik yo ap jwe, se pou nou mete ajenou pou n' adore estati mwen fè fè a. Si nou pa fè sa, y'ap jete nou nan gwo fou tou limen an. Pa gen bondye ki pou delivre nou anba men m'.
Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye 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?
16 Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego reponn, yo di wa Nèbikadneza konsa: -Monwa, nou p'ap eseye defann tèt nou.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
17 Si Bondye n'ap sèvi a ka wete nou nan gwo fou tou limen an, si li ka delivre nou tou anba men ou, l'ap fè l'.
If it is so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king.
18 Men, menm si li pa vin delivre nou, monwa, nou tou di ou nou p'ap adore bondye pa ou yo, ni nou p'ap mete ajenou devan estati lò ou te fè fè a.
But if not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
19 Lè wa Nèbikadneza tande pawòl sa yo, li fè yon sèl kolè, li move sou Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego. Li bay lòd pou yo chofe fou a sèt fwa plis pase jan yo te konn fè l' la.
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was heated before.
20 Lèfini, li mande pou kèk sòlda ki pi gwonèg nan lame li a vin mare Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego byen mare, apre sa pou lage yo jete nan gwo fou tou limen an.
And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Se konsa yo pran mesye yo, yo mare yo byen mare, yo jete yo nan gwo fou tou limen an ak tout rad sou yo, soulye nan pye yo ak gwo mouchwa mare tèt yo.
Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, and their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Lòd wa a te bay la te sevè, kifè yo te chofe fou a anpil anpil. Se konsa flanm dife ki t'ap soti nan fwa a boule gad ki t'ap jete mesye yo nan dife a. Yo mouri.
Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire killed those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 Twa mesye yo menm, Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego, tonbe tou mare nan gwo fou tou limen an.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Apre sa, wa Nèbikadneza rete konsa li leve voup, tankou yon moun ki sezi. Li mande moun ki te avè l' yo: -Eske se pa t' twa moun tou mare nou te lage nan gwo fou tou limen an? Yo reponn li: -Se sa wi, monwa!
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spoke, and said to his counsellors, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king.
25 Wa a di yo ankò: -Ki jan fè se kat moun mwen wè k'ap mache nan dife a? Yo yonn pa mare. Dife a pa fè yo anyen. Katriyèm moun lan menm sanble yon pitit bondye yo.
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
26 Wa Nèbikadneza pwoche bò pòt gwo fou a epi li rele: -Chadrak! Mechak! Abèdnego! Sèvitè Bondye ki nan syèl la! Soti vin jwenn mwen! Epi mesye yo mache soti nan dife a.
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spoke, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth from the midst of the fire.
27 Tout gwo zotobre yo: prefè, kòmandan, gouvènè ansanm ak tout lòt chèf yo sanble pou yo wè twa mesye yo. Dife a pa t' fè kò yo anyen. Yon branch cheve nan tèt yo pa t' boule, rad sou yo pa te menm flambe. Pa t' gen okenn lafimen sou yo.
And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor had the smell of fire passed upon them.
28 Wa a di konsa: -Lwanj pou Bondye Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego a! Li voye zanj li delivre sèvitè l' yo ki te mete konfyans yo nan li. Yo te derefize obeyi lòd mwen. Yo te pito mouri pase pou yo ta mete ajenou pou adore yon bondye ki pa bondye pa yo a.
Then Nebuchadnezzar spoke, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
29 Koulye a, men lòd mwen bay pou tout pèp, moun tout peyi ak moun tout ras ki pale lòt lang yo: si yonn nan nou pale Bondye Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego a mal, se pou yo depatcha l'. Lèfini, se pou yo kraze kay li nèt mete atè. Paske pa gen lòt bondye ki ka delivre moun konsa.
Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a refuse heap: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
30 Wa a moute Chadrak, Mechak ak Abèdnego grad nan pwovens Babilòn lan.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
