| נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר מַלְכָּא עֲבַד צְלֵם דִּֽי־דְהַב רוּמֵהּ אַמִּין שִׁתִּין פְּתָיֵהּ אַמִּין שִׁת אֲקִימֵהּ בְּבִקְעַת דּוּרָא בִּמְדִינַת בָּבֶֽל׃ | 1 |
King Nabuchodonosor made a statue of gold, of sixty cubits high, and six cubits broad, and he set it up in the plain of Dura of the province of Babylon.
| וּנְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר מַלְכָּא שְׁלַח לְמִכְנַשׁ ׀ לַֽאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּא סִגְנַיָּא וּֽפַחֲוָתָא אֲדַרְגָּזְרַיָּא גְדָבְרַיָּא דְּתָבְרַיָּא תִּפְתָּיֵא וְכֹל שִׁלְטֹנֵי מְדִֽינָתָא לְמֵתֵא לַחֲנֻכַּת צַלְמָא דִּי הֲקֵים נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר מַלְכָּֽא׃ | 2 |
Then Nabuchodonosor the king sent to call together the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, the rulers, and governors, and all the chief men of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
| בֵּאדַיִן מִֽתְכַּנְּשִׁין אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּא סִגְנַיָּא וּֽפַחֲוָתָא אֲדַרְגָּזְרַיָּא גְדָבְרַיָּא דְּתָבְרַיָּא תִּפְתָּיֵא וְכֹל שִׁלְטֹנֵי מְדִֽינָתָא לַחֲנֻכַּת צַלְמָא דִּי הֲקֵים נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר מַלְכָּא (וקאמין) [וְקָֽיְמִין] לׇקֳבֵל צַלְמָא דִּי הֲקֵים נְבֻכַדְנֶצַּֽר׃ | 3 |
Then the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, and rulers, and the great men that were placed in authority, and all the princes of the provinces, were gathered together to come to the dedication of the statue, which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. And they stood before the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
| וְכָרוֹזָא קָרֵא בְחָיִל לְכוֹן אָֽמְרִין עַֽמְמַיָּא אֻמַּיָּא וְלִשָּׁנַיָּֽא׃ | 4 |
Then a herald cried with a strong voice: To you it is commanded, O nations, tribes, and languages:
| בְּעִדָּנָא דִּֽי־תִשְׁמְעוּן קָל קַרְנָא מַשְׁרוֹקִיתָא (קיתרס) [קַתְרוֹס] שַׂבְּכָא פְסַנְתֵּרִין סוּמְפֹּנְיָא וְכֹל זְנֵי זְמָרָא תִּפְּלוּן וְתִסְגְּדוּן לְצֶלֶם דַּהֲבָא דִּי הֲקֵים נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר מַלְכָּֽא׃ | 5 |
That in the hour that you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and of the flute, and of the harp, of the sackbut, and of the psaltery, and of the symphony, and of all kind of music; ye fall down and adore the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor hath set up.
| וּמַן־דִּי־לָא יִפֵּל וְיִסְגֻּד בַּהּ־שַׁעֲתָא יִתְרְמֵא לְגֽוֹא־אַתּוּן נוּרָא יָקִֽדְתָּֽא׃ | 6 |
But if any man shall not fall down and adore, he shall the same hour be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
| כׇּל־קֳבֵל דְּנָה בֵּהּ־זִמְנָא כְּדִי שָֽׁמְעִין כׇּֽל־עַמְמַיָּא קָל קַרְנָא מַשְׁרוֹקִיתָא (קיתרס) [קַתְרוֹס] שַׂבְּכָא פְּסַנְטֵרִין וְכֹל זְנֵי זְמָרָא נָֽפְלִין כׇּֽל־עַֽמְמַיָּא אֻמַּיָּא וְלִשָּׁנַיָּא סָֽגְדִין לְצֶלֶם דַּהֲבָא דִּי הֲקֵים נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר מַלְכָּֽא׃ | 7 |
Upon this therefore, at the time when all the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music: all the nations, tribes, and languages fell down and adored the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
| כׇּל־קֳבֵל דְּנָה בֵּהּ־זִמְנָא קְרִבוּ גֻּבְרִין כַּשְׂדָּאִין וַאֲכַלוּ קַרְצֵיהוֹן דִּי יְהוּדָיֵֽא׃ | 8 |
And presently at that very time some Chaldeans came and accused the Jews,
| עֲנוֹ וְאָמְרִין לִנְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר מַלְכָּא מַלְכָּא לְעָלְמִין חֱיִֽי׃ | 9 |
And said to king Nabuchodonosor: O king, live for ever:
| (אנתה) [אַנְתְּ] מַלְכָּא שָׂמְתָּ טְּעֵם דִּי כׇל־אֱנָשׁ דִּֽי־יִשְׁמַע קָל קַרְנָא מַשְׁרֹקִיתָא (קיתרס) [קַתְרוֹס] שַׂבְּכָא פְסַנְתֵּרִין (וסיפניה) [וְסוּפֹּנְיָה] וְכֹל זְנֵי זְמָרָא יִפֵּל וְיִסְגֻּד לְצֶלֶם דַּהֲבָֽא׃ | 10 |
Thou, O king, hast made a decree that every man that shall bear the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music, shall prostrate himself, and adore the golden statue:
| וּמַן־דִּי־לָא יִפֵּל וְיִסְגֻּד יִתְרְמֵא לְגֽוֹא־אַתּוּן נוּרָא יָקִֽדְתָּֽא׃ | 11 |
And that if any man shall not fall down and adore, he should be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
| אִיתַי גֻּבְרִין יְהוּדָאיִן דִּֽי־מַנִּיתָ יָתְהוֹן עַל־עֲבִידַת מְדִינַת בָּבֶל שַׁדְרַךְ מֵישַׁךְ וַעֲבֵד נְגוֹ גֻּבְרַיָּא אִלֵּךְ לָא־שָׂמֽוּ (עליך) [עֲלָךְ] מַלְכָּא טְעֵם (לאלהיך) [לֵֽאלָהָךְ] לָא פָלְחִין וּלְצֶלֶם דַּהֲבָא דִּי הֲקֵימְתָּ לָא סָגְדִֽין׃ | 12 |
Now there are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the works of the province of Babylon, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago: these men, O king, have slighted thy decree: they worship not thy gods, nor do they adore the golden statue which thou hast set up.
| בֵּאדַיִן נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר בִּרְגַז וַחֲמָא אֲמַר לְהַיְתָיָה לְשַׁדְרַךְ מֵישַׁךְ וַעֲבֵד נְגוֹ בֵּאדַיִן גֻּבְרַיָּא אִלֵּךְ הֵיתָיוּ קֳדָם מַלְכָּֽא׃ | 13 |
Then Nabuchodonosor in fury, and in wrath, commanded that Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago should be brought: who immediately were brought before the king.
| עָנֵה נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּר וְאָמַר לְהוֹן הַצְדָּא שַׁדְרַךְ מֵישַׁךְ וַעֲבֵד נְגוֹ לֵֽאלָהַי לָא אִֽיתֵיכוֹן פָּֽלְחִין וּלְצֶלֶם דַּהֲבָא דִּי הֲקֵימֶת לָא סָֽגְדִֽין׃ | 14 |
And Nabuchodonosor the king spoke to them, and said: Is it true, O Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the golden statue that I have set up?
| כְּעַן הֵן אִֽיתֵיכוֹן עֲתִידִין דִּי בְעִדָּנָא דִּֽי־תִשְׁמְעוּן קָל קַרְנָא מַשְׁרוֹקִיתָא (קיתרס) [קַתְרוֹס] שַׂבְּכָא פְּסַנְתֵּרִין וְסוּמְפֹּנְיָה וְכֹל ׀ זְנֵי זְמָרָא תִּפְּלוּן וְתִסְגְּדוּן לְצַלְמָא דִֽי־עַבְדֵת וְהֵן לָא תִסְגְּדוּן בַּהּ־שַׁעֲתָא תִתְרְמוֹן לְגֽוֹא־אַתּוּן נוּרָא יָקִֽדְתָּא וּמַן־הוּא אֱלָהּ דִּי יְשֵֽׁיזְבִנְכוֹן מִן־יְדָֽי׃ | 15 |
Now therefore if you be ready at what hour soever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, flute, harp, sackbut, and psaltery, and symphony, and of all kind of music, prostrate yourselves, and adore the statue which I have made: but if you do not adore, you shall be cast the same hour into the furnace of burning fire: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand?
| עֲנוֹ שַׁדְרַךְ מֵישַׁךְ וַעֲבֵד נְגוֹ וְאָמְרִין לְמַלְכָּא נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּר לָֽא־חַשְׁחִין אֲנַחְנָא עַל־דְּנָה פִּתְגָם לַהֲתָבוּתָֽךְ׃ | 16 |
Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago answered and said to king Nabuchodonosor: We have no occasion to answer thee concerning this matter.
| הֵן אִיתַי אֱלָהַנָא דִּֽי־אֲנַחְנָא פָֽלְחִין יָכִל לְשֵׁיזָבוּתַנָא מִן־אַתּוּן נוּרָא יָקִֽדְתָּא וּמִן־יְדָךְ מַלְכָּא יְשֵׁיזִֽב׃ | 17 |
For behold our God, whom we worship, is able to save us from the furnace of burning fire, and to deliver us out of thy hands, O king.
| וְהֵן לָא יְדִיעַ לֶהֱוֵא־לָךְ מַלְכָּא דִּי (לאלהיך) [לֵֽאלָהָךְ] לָא־[אִיתַנָא] (איתינא) פָֽלְחִין וּלְצֶלֶם דַּהֲבָא דִּי הֲקֵימְתָּ לָא נִסְגֻּֽד׃ | 18 |
But if he will not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not worship thy gods, nor adore the golden statue which thou hast set up.
| בֵּאדַיִן נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר הִתְמְלִי חֱמָא וּצְלֵם אַנְפּוֹהִי (אשתנו) [אֶשְׁתַּנִּי] עַל־שַׁדְרַךְ מֵישַׁךְ וַעֲבֵד נְגוֹ עָנֵה וְאָמַר לְמֵזֵא לְאַתּוּנָא חַד־שִׁבְעָה עַל דִּי חֲזֵה לְמֵזְיֵֽהּ׃ | 19 |
Then was Nabuchodonosor filled with fury: and the countenance of his face was changed against Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it had been accustomed to be heated.
| וּלְגֻבְרִין גִּבָּֽרֵי־חַיִל דִּי בְחַיְלֵהּ אֲמַר לְכַפָּתָה לְשַׁדְרַךְ מֵישַׁךְ וַעֲבֵד נְגוֹ לְמִרְמֵא לְאַתּוּן נוּרָא יָקִֽדְתָּֽא׃ | 20 |
And he commanded the strongest men that were in his army, to bind the feet of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire.
| בֵּאדַיִן גֻּבְרַיָּא אִלֵּךְ כְּפִתוּ בְּסַרְבָּלֵיהוֹן (פטישיהון) [פַּטְּשֵׁיהוֹן] וְכַרְבְּלָתְהוֹן וּלְבֻשֵׁיהוֹן וּרְמִיו לְגֽוֹא־אַתּוּן נוּרָא יָקִֽדְתָּֽא׃ | 21 |
And immediately these men were bound and were cast into the furnace of burning fire, with their coats, and their caps, and their shoes, and their garments.
| כׇּל־קֳבֵל דְּנָה מִן־דִּי מִלַּת מַלְכָּא מַחְצְפָה וְאַתּוּנָא אֵזֵה יַתִּירָה גֻּבְרַיָּא אִלֵּךְ דִּי הַסִּקוּ לְשַׁדְרַךְ מֵישַׁךְ וַעֲבֵד נְגוֹ קַטִּל הִמּוֹן שְׁבִיבָא דִּי נוּרָֽא׃ | 22 |
For the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace was heated exceedingly. And the flame of the fire slew those men that had cast in Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago.
| וְגֻבְרַיָּא אִלֵּךְ תְּלָתֵּהוֹן שַׁדְרַךְ מֵישַׁךְ וַעֲבֵד נְגוֹ נְפַלוּ לְגֽוֹא־אַתּוּן־נוּרָא יָֽקִדְתָּא מְכַפְּתִֽין׃ | 23 |
But these three men, that is, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell down bound in the midst of the furnace of burning fire.
| אֱדַיִן נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר מַלְכָּא תְּוַהּ וְקָם בְּהִתְבְּהָלָה עָנֵה וְאָמַר לְהַדָּֽבְרוֹהִי הֲלָא גֻבְרִין תְּלָתָה רְמֵינָא לְגוֹא־נוּרָא מְכַפְּתִין עָנַיִן וְאָמְרִין לְמַלְכָּא יַצִּיבָא מַלְכָּֽא׃ | 24 |
Then Nabuchodonosor the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and said to his nobles: Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered the king, and said: True, O king.
| עָנֵה וְאָמַר הָֽא־אֲנָה חָזֵה גֻּבְרִין אַרְבְּעָה שְׁרַיִן מַהְלְכִין בְּגֽוֹא־נוּרָא וַחֲבָל לָא־אִיתַי בְּהוֹן וְרֵוֵהּ דִּי (רביעיא) [רְֽבִיעָאָה] דָּמֵה לְבַר־אֱלָהִֽין׃ | 25 |
He answered, and said: Behold I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there is no hurt in them, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
| בֵּאדַיִן קְרֵב נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר לִתְרַע אַתּוּן נוּרָא יָקִֽדְתָּא עָנֵה וְאָמַר שַׁדְרַךְ מֵישַׁךְ וַעֲבֵד־נְגוֹ עַבְדוֹהִי דִּֽי־אֱלָהָא (עליא) [עִלָּאָה] פֻּקוּ וֶאֱתוֹ בֵּאדַיִן נָֽפְקִין שַׁדְרַךְ מֵישַׁךְ וַעֲבֵד נְגוֹ מִן־גּוֹא נוּרָֽא׃ | 26 |
Then Nabuchodonosor came to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said: Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, ye servants of the most high God, go ye forth, and come. And immediately Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago went out from the midst of the fire.
| וּמִֽתְכַּנְּשִׁין אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּא סִגְנַיָּא וּפַחֲוָתָא וְהַדָּבְרֵי מַלְכָּא חָזַיִן לְגֻבְרַיָּא אִלֵּךְ דִּי לָֽא־שְׁלֵט נוּרָא בְּגֶשְׁמְהוֹן וּשְׂעַר רֵֽאשְׁהוֹן לָא הִתְחָרַךְ וְסַרְבָּלֵיהוֹן לָא שְׁנוֹ וְרֵיחַ נוּר לָא עֲדָת בְּהֽוֹן׃ | 27 |
And the nobles, and the magistrates, and the judges, and the great men of the king being gathered together, considered these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, and that not a hair of their head had been singed, nor their garments altered, nor the smell of the fire had passed on them.
| עָנֵה נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּר וְאָמַר בְּרִיךְ אֱלָהֲהוֹן דִּֽי־שַׁדְרַךְ מֵישַׁךְ וַעֲבֵד נְגוֹ דִּֽי־שְׁלַח מַלְאֲכֵהּ וְשֵׁיזִב לְעַבְדוֹהִי דִּי הִתְרְחִצוּ עֲלוֹהִי וּמִלַּת מַלְכָּא שַׁנִּיו וִיהַבוּ (גשמיהון) [גֶשְׁמְהוֹן] דִּי לָֽא־יִפְלְחוּן וְלָֽא־יִסְגְּדוּן לְכׇל־אֱלָהּ לָהֵן לֵאלָֽהֲהֽוֹן׃ | 28 |
Then Nabuchodonosor breaking forth, said: Blessed be the God of them, to wit, of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that believed in him: and they changed the king’s word, and delivered up their bodies that they might not serve, nor adore any god, except their own God.
| וּמִנִּי שִׂים טְעֵם דִּי כׇל־עַם אֻמָּה וְלִשָּׁן דִּֽי־יֵאמַר (שלה) [שָׁלוּ] עַל אֱלָהֲהוֹן דִּֽי־שַׁדְרַךְ מֵישַׁךְ וַעֲבֵד נְגוֹא הַדָּמִין יִתְעֲבֵד וּבַיְתֵהּ נְוָלִי יִשְׁתַּוֵּה כׇּל־קֳבֵל דִּי לָא אִיתַי אֱלָהּ אׇחֳרָן דִּֽי־יִכֻּל לְהַצָּלָה כִּדְנָֽה׃ | 29 |
By me therefore this decree is made, that every people, tribe, and tongue, which shall speak blasphemy against the God of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, shall be destroyed, and their houses laid waste: for there is no other God that can save in this manner.
| בֵּאדַיִן מַלְכָּא הַצְלַח לְשַׁדְרַךְ מֵישַׁךְ וַעֲבֵד נְגוֹ בִּמְדִינַת בָּבֶֽל׃ | 30 |
Then the king promoted Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, in the province of Babylon.
