< Daniyel 3 >
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, whose height [was] threescore cubits, [and] the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province 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.
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 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 princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set 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 an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, 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] at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
6 Duk wanda bai rusuna ya yi sujada ba, nan take za a jefa shi a cikin tendarun wuta.”
And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
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.
Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down [and] worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 A wannan lokaci sai waɗansu masanan taurari suka zo gaba suka yi karar Yahudawa.
Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
9 Suka ce wa sarki Nebukadnezzar, “Ran sarki yă daɗe,
They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live 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,
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 musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
11 kuma cewa duk wanda bai rusuna ya yi sujadar ba za a jefa shi cikin tanderun wuta.
And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, [that] he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
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 thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set 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] rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men 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 spake and said unto them, [Is it] true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set 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 ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, 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 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, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we [are] not careful to answer thee in this matter.
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 it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver [us] out of thine hand, O king.
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 it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set 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 was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: [therefore] he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be 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 commanded the most mighty men that [were] in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, [and] to cast [them] into the burning fiery furnace.
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 were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their [other] garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
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,
Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
23 waɗannan mutane uku kuma a daure, suka fāɗa cikin tanderun wutar.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
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 Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, [and] spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto 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 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 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 to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, [and] spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come [hither]. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth of the midst 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 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 the smell of fire had passed on 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.
[Then] Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed [be] the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, 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 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.”
Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
30 Sa’an nan sarki ya ƙara wa su Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego girma a yankin Babilon.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.
