< Danyèl 3 >
1 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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,
It is seid to you, puplis, kynredis, and langagis;
5 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.
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 Men, nenpòt moun ki pa pwostène pou adore va, lapoula, vin jete nan yon founo dife byen cho.”
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 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.
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 Pou rezon sa a, nan lè sa a, kèk Kaldeyen te vin parèt pou fè pwosè kont Jwif yo.
And anoon in that tyme men of Caldee neiyiden, and accusiden the Jewis,
9 Yo te pale e te di a Nebucadnetsar, wa a: “O wa, viv jis pou tout tan!
and seiden to the kyng Nabugodonosor, Kyng, lyue thou with outen ende.
10 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.
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 Men nenpòt moun ki pa pwostène, va jete nan mitan a yon founo dife byen cho.
and worschipith not, be he sent in to the furneis of fier brennynge.
12 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.”
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 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.
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 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?
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 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?”
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 Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego te reponn a wa a: “O Nebucadnetsar, nou pa oblije bay ou yon repons a kesyon sa a.
Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago answeriden, and seiden to the king Nabugodonosor, It nedith not, that we answere of this thing to thee.
17 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.
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Men twa mesye sila yo, Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego te tonbe nan mitan founo dife byen cho a toujou mare.
Sotheli these thre men, Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago, fellen doun boundun in the mydis of the chymenei of fier brennynge.
24 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.”
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 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!”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 Answit, wa a te fè Schadrac, Méschac ak Abed-Nego vin pwospere nan pwovens Babylone nan.
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.
