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.
King Nebuchadnezzar made a gold statue that was sixty cubits tall and six cubits wide. 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 sent messages out to gather together the provincial governors, regional governors, and local governors, together with the counselors, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the high officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the statue that he 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 provincial governors, regional governors, and local governors, together with the counselors, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the high officials of the provinces gathered together to the dedication of the statue that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. They stood before it.
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 a herald loudly shouted, “You are commanded, 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 at the time you hear the sound of the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, and pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and prostrate yourselves to the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
6 Duk wanda bai rusuna ya yi sujada ba, nan take za a jefa shi a cikin tendarun wuta.”
Whoever does not fall down and worship, at that very moment, will be thrown into a blazing 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.
So when all the peoples heard the sounds of the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, and pipes, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and prostrated themselves to the golden statue that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 A wannan lokaci sai waɗansu masanan taurari suka zo gaba suka yi karar Yahudawa.
Now at this time certain Chaldeans came and brought accusations against the Jews.
9 Suka ce wa sarki Nebukadnezzar, “Ran sarki yă daɗe,
They said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “King, live forever!
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, king, have made a decree that every person who hears the sounds of the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, and pipes, and all kinds of music, must fall down and prostrate himself to the golden statue.
11 kuma cewa duk wanda bai rusuna ya yi sujadar ba za a jefa shi cikin tanderun wuta.
Whoever does not fall down and worship must be thrown into a blazing 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.”
Now there are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon; their names are Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, king, pay no attention to you. They will not worship or serve your gods, or prostrate themselves before the golden statue you have 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, filled with anger and rage, commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought to him. So 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 said to them, “Have you made your minds up, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you will not worship my gods or prostrate yourselves to the golden statue that 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 you are ready—when you hear the sounds of the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, and pipes, and all kinds of music—to fall down and prostrate yourselves to the statue that I have made, all will be well. But if you do not worship, you will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace. Who is the god who is able to rescue 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 Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you 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 there is an answer, it is that our God whom we serve is able to keep us safe from the blazing furnace, and he will rescue us out of your hand, 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, let it be known to you, king, that we will not worship your gods, and we will not prostrate ourselves to the golden statue you 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 Nebuchadnezzar was filled with rage; the look on his face changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times hotter than it was normally heated.
20 Kuma ya umarci waɗansu ƙarfafan sojoji a cikin rundunarsa su daure Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego su jefa su cikin tanderun wutar.
Then he commanded some very strong men in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and to throw them into the blazing 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.
They were tied up still wearing their robes, tunics, turbans, and other clothing, and they were thrown into the blazing 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,
Because the king's command was strictly followed and the furnace was very hot, the flames killed the men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 waɗannan mutane uku kuma a daure, suka fāɗa cikin tanderun wutar.
These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell into the blazing furnace while they were tied up.
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 amazed and stood up quickly. He asked his advisors, “Did we not throw three men tied up into the fire?” They replied to the king, “Certainly, 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 said, “But I see four men who are not tied up walking around in the fire, and they are not hurt. The brilliance 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 blazing furnace and called out, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of God Most High, come out! Come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego 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.
The provincial governors, regional governors, other governors, and the king's counselors who had gathered together saw these men. The fire had not hurt their bodies; the hair on their heads was not singed; their robes were not harmed; and there was no smell of fire 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.
Nebuchadnezzar said, “Let us praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his messenger and given his message to his servants. They trusted in him when they set aside my command, and they gave up their bodies rather than worship or prostrate themselves to any god except 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.”
Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego must be torn apart, and that their houses must be made into rubbish heaps because there is no other god who is able to save like this.”
30 Sa’an nan sarki ya ƙara wa su Shadrak, Meshak da Abednego girma a yankin Babilon.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
