1 Sarki Nebukadnezzar ya yi gunkin zinariya, tsawonsa kamu tasa’in, fāɗinsa kuma kamu tara ne, ya kafa shi a filin Dura a yankin Babilon.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide: he put it up in the valley of Dura, in the land of Babylon.
2 Sa’an nan ya aika a kira hakimai da wakilai da gwamnoni da mashawarta, da ma’aji, da alƙalai, da marubutan kotu, da dukan sauran ma’aikatan yankunan, suka hallara domin a rusuna wa wannan siffar da ya kafa.
And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to get together all the captains, the chiefs, the rulers, the wise men, the keepers of public money, the judges, the overseers, and all the rulers of the divisions of the country, to come to see the unveiling of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up.
3 Saboda haka sai hakimai, da wakilai da gwamnoni, mashawarta da ma’aji da alƙalai, da marubutan alƙalai, da kuma dukan ma’aikatan yankunan suka tattaru domin kaddamar da siffar da Nebukadnezzar ya kafa, suka kuma tsaya a gabansa.
Then the captains, the chiefs, the rulers, the wise men, the keepers of public money, the judges, the overseers, and all the rulers of the divisions of the country, came together to see the unveiling of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up; and they took their places before the image which Nebuchadnezzar had put up.
4 Sai mai shela ya daga murya da ƙarfi ya ce, “Wannan shi ne abin da aka umarce ku ku yi, ya ku mutane da al’umma da kowane yare.
Then one of the king's criers said in a loud voice, To you the order is given, O peoples, nations, and languages,
5 Da zarar kuka ji karar ƙaho, da sarewa, da garaya da goge da molo da algaita da kowane irin kaɗe-kaɗe da bushe-bushe ku rusuna ku yi sujada ga wannan gunkin da sarki Nebukadnezzar ya kafa.
That when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to your ears, you are to go down on your faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king has put up:
6 Duk wanda bai rusuna ya yi sujada ba, nan take za a jefa shi a cikin tendarun wuta.”
And anyone not falling down and worshipping will that same hour be put into a burning and flaming fire.
7 Saboda haka, da zarar suka ji karar ƙaho, da sarewa, garaya da goge da kowane irin kaɗe-kaɗe da bushe-bushe da kowane irin kaɗe-kaɗe kowane mutum da ko wace al’umma da kowane irin yare suka sunkuya suka yi sujada ga wannan siffa ta zinariya da sarki Nebukadnezzar ya kafa.
So at that time, all the people, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and all sorts of instruments, came to their ears, went down on their faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up.
8 A wannan lokaci sai waɗansu masanan taurari suka zo gaba suka yi karar Yahudawa.
At that time certain Chaldaeans came near and made a statement against the Jews.
9 Suka ce wa sarki Nebukadnezzar, “Ran sarki yă daɗe,
They made answer and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, O King, have life for ever.
10 Ya sarki, ka fitar da doka, cewa duk wanda ya ji karar ƙaho, da sarewa, da garayu da goge, da molo da algaita da kowane irin kayan kaɗe-kaɗe da bushe-bushe sai yă rusuna yă yi sujada ga siffar zinariya,
You, O King, have given an order that every man, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to his ears, is to go down on his face in worship before the image of gold:
11 kuma cewa duk wanda bai rusuna ya yi sujadar ba za a jefa shi cikin tanderun wuta.
And anyone not falling down and worshipping is to be put into a burning and flaming fire.
12 Amma sai ga waɗansu Yahudawa waɗanda ka ɗora su a kan harkokin yankin Babilon, wato, Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego waɗanda ba su kula da umarninka ba, ya sarki. Ba su bauta wa allolin ba balle su yi sujada ga gunkin zinariya da ka kafa.”
There are certain Jews whom you have put over the business of the land of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men have not given attention to you, O King: they are not servants of your gods or worshippers of the gold image which you have put up.
13 Cikin fushi da hasala, Nebukadnezzar ya aika a kira Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego. Aka kawo waɗannan mutane a gaban sarki,
Then Nebuchadnezzar in his wrath and passion gave orders for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego to be sent for. Then they made these men come in before the king.
14 sai Nebukadnezzar ya ce musu, “Gaskiya ne Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego, cewa kun ƙi ku bauta wa alloli kuka kuma ƙi yi sujada ga gunkin da na kafa?
Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that you will not be servants of my god or give worship to the image of gold which I have put up?
15 Yanzu sa’ad da kuka ji karar ƙaho, da sarewa, da garaya, da goge, da molo da algaita da kowane irin kaɗe-kaɗe da bushe-bushe, in kuna a shirye ku rusuna ƙasa ku yi wa wannan gunkin da na yi sujada, to, da kyau. Amma in ba ku yi sujada ba, za a je fa ku yanzu a cikin tanderun wutar nan. In ga kowane ne allahn nan da zai kuɓutar da ku daga hannuna?”
Now if you are ready, on hearing the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, to go down on your faces in worship before the image which I have made, it is well: but if you will not give worship, that same hour you will be put into a burning and flaming fire; and what god is there who will be able to take you out of my hands?
16 Sai Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego suka amsa wa sarki suka ce, “Ya Nebukadnezzar, ba mu bukata mu kāre kanmu a gabanka a kan wannan batu.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answering Nebuchadnezzar the king, said, There is no need for us to give you an answer to this question.
17 In an jefa mu cikin tanderun wutar nan, Allahn da muke bauta wa zai iya cetonmu daga ita, kuma ya sarki, zai cece mu daga hannunka.
If our God, whose servants we are, is able to keep us safe from the burning and flaming fire, and from your hands, O King, he will keep us safe.
18 Amma ko da bai cece mu ba, muna so ka sani, ya sarki; cewa ba za mu bauta wa allolinka ba ko kuma mu yi sujada ga gunkin zinariyar da ka kafa ba.”
But if not, be certain, O King, that we will not be the servants of your gods, or give worship to the image of gold which you have put up.
19 Sai Nebukadnezzar ya husata da Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego, sai al’amuransa a kansu ya canja. Sai ya umarta a ƙara zuga wutar har sau bakwai domin tă yi zafi fiye da yadda take a dā.
Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of wrath, and the form of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: and he gave orders that the fire was to be heated up seven times more than it was generally heated.
20 Kuma ya umarci waɗansu ƙarfafan sojoji a cikin rundunarsa su daure Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego su jefa su cikin tanderun wutar.
And he gave orders to certain strong men in his army to put cords on Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego and put them into the burning and flaming fire.
21 Waɗannan mutanen suna sanye da riguna, da wanduna, da rawani da waɗansu kayan sawa, aka daure su, aka jefa su cikin tanderun wuta.
Then these men had cords put round them as they were, in their coats, their trousers, their hats, and their clothing, and were dropped into the burning and flaming fire.
22 Sarki ya ba da umarnin da gaggawa kuma wutar ta yi zafi ƙwarai har harshen wutar ya kashe sojojin nan da suka ɗauki Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego,
And because the king's order was not to be put on one side, and the heat of the fire was so great, the men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were burned to death by the flame of the fire.
23 waɗannan mutane uku kuma a daure, suka fāɗa cikin tanderun wutar.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, with the cords about them, went down into the burning and flaming fire.
24 Sai Sarki Nebukadnezzar ya miƙe tsaye, cike da mamaki ya tambayi mashawartansa, “Shin ba mutum uku ba ne muka daure muka jefa cikin wutar?” Suka amsa, “Tabbatacce haka yake ya sarki.”
Then King Nebuchadnezzar, full of fear and wonder, got up quickly, and said to his wise men, Did we not put three men in cords into the fire? and they made answer and said to the king, True, O King.
25 Sai ya ce, “Ku duba ina ganin mutum huɗu suna tafiya suna yawo a cikin wutar, a sake kuma babu abin da ya same su, na huɗun sai ka ce ɗan alloli.”
He made answer and said, Look! I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are not damaged; and the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods.
26 Sai Nebukadnezzar ya matsa kusa da ƙofar tanderun wutar ya yi kira da ƙarfi, “Shedrak, Meshak da Abednego, bayin Allah Mafi Ɗaukaka ku fito! Ku zo nan!” Sai Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego suka fita daga cikin wutar,
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near the door of the burning and flaming fire: he made answer and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, you servants of the Most High God, come out and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out of the fire.
27 Sa’an nan hakimai, da wakilai, da gwamnoni da masu ba wa sarki shawara suka kewaya su. Suka ga wutar ba tă yi musu wani lahani a jikinsu ba, babu ko gashin kansu da ya ƙuna; ko warin wuta ma ba su yi ba.
And the captains, the chiefs, and the rulers, and the king's wise men who had come together, saw these men, over whose bodies the fire had no power, and not a hair of their heads was burned, and their coats were not changed, and there was no smell of fire about them.
28 Sa’an nan Nebukadnezzar ya ce, “Yabo ya tabbata ga Allahn Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego wanda ya aiko da mala’ikansa ya ceci bayinsa da suka dogara matuƙa a gare shi, suka ki bin umarnin sarki kuma su na a shirye domin su ba da ransu da suka ƙi bauta ko su yi sujada ga wani allah sai dai Allahnsu.
Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said, Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel and kept his servants safe who had faith in him, and who put the king's word on one side and gave up their bodies to the fire, so that they might not be servants or worshippers of any other god but their God.
29 Domin haka ina ba da doka cewa duk mutane da kowace al’umma ko kowane yaren da ya ce wani abu mummuna a kan Allahn Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego za a yanka shi gunduwa-gunduwa kuma gidansu zai zama wurin zuba shara, domin babu wani allahn da zai iya ceto ta irin wannan hanya.”
And it is my decision that any people, nation, or language saying evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, will be cut to bits and their houses made waste: because there is no other god who is able to give salvation such as this.
30 Sa’an nan sarki ya ƙara wa su Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego girma a yankin Babilon.
Then the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego even greater authority in the land of Babylon.
