Daniele 3
1 Mokonzi Nabukodonozori asalisaki ekeko moko ya wolo, oyo ezalaki na bametele pene tuku misato na bosanda mpe bametele pene misato na mokuse. Atelemisaki yango kati na etando ya Dura, na etuka ya Babiloni.
Nebuchadnezzar the king has made an image of gold, its height sixty cubits, its breadth six cubits; he has raised it up in the Valley of Dura, in the province of Babylon;
2 Abengisaki bayangeli oyo atiaki na bituka, bakalaka oyo babatelaka biloko ya mokonzi, bayangeli, bapesi toli, babateli bomengo ya mokonzi, bato ya mibeko, basambisi mpe bakalaka nyonso ya bituka, mpo ete baya na feti ya kobandisa losambo ya ekeko oyo mokonzi Nabukodonozori asalisaki.
and Nebuchadnezzar the king has sent to gather the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the province, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up.
3 Boye, bayangeli oyo atiaki na bituka, bakalaka oyo babatelaka biloko ya mokonzi, bayangeli, bapesi toli, babateli ya bomengo ya mokonzi, bato ya mibeko, basambisi mpe bakalaka nyonso ya bituka basanganaki mpo na feti ya kobandisa losambo ya ekeko oyo mokonzi Nabukodonozori asalisaki, mpe batelemaki liboso na yango.
Then are gathered the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the province, to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up: and they are standing before the image that Nebuchadnezzar has raised up.
4 Molobeli ya mokonzi atatolaki na mongongo makasi: — Bino bato ya bikolo nyonso mpe ya nkota nyonso, tala makambo oyo bosengeli kosala:
And a crier is calling mightily: “They are saying to you: O peoples, nations, and languages!
5 « Tango kaka bokoyoka lolaka ya kelelo, ya flite, ya lindanda ya moke, ya lindanda, ya nzenze, ya fanfari mpe makelele ya lolenge nyonso ya bibetelo mindule, bosengeli kofukama mpo na kogumbamela ekeko ya wolo oyo mokonzi Nabukodonozori asalisi.
At the time that you hear the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, the symphony, and all kinds of music, you fall down and pay respect to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up:
6 Moto nyonso oyo akoboya kofukama mpo na kogumbamela ekeko yango, bakobwaka ye mbala moko kati na libulu ya moto. »
and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
7 Yango wana, tango kaka bayokaki lolaka ya kelelo, ya flite, ya lindanda ya moke, ya lindanda, ya nzenze, ya fanfari mpe makelele ya bibetelo mindule lolenge nyonso, bato ya bikolo nyonso, ya mikili nyonso mpe ya nkota nyonso bafukamaki mpo na kogumbamela ekeko ya wolo oyo mokonzi Nabukodonozori asalisaki.
Therefore at that time, when all the peoples are hearing the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and all kinds of music, falling down are all the peoples, nations and languages, worshiping the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up.
8 Kaka na tango yango, ndambo ya bato ya soloka, oyo basalelaka minzoto bayaki kofunda Bayuda.
Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans have drawn near, and accused the Jews;
9 Balobaki na mokonzi Nabukodonozori: — Oh mokonzi, tika ete owumela na bomoi seko na seko!
they have answered, indeed, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for all ages!
10 Oh mokonzi, opesaki mitindo ete moto nyonso oyo akoyoka lolaka ya kelelo, ya flite, ya lindanda ya moke, ya lindanda, ya nzenze, ya fanfari mpe makelele ya lolenge nyonso ya bibetelo mindule afukama mpo na kogumbamela ekeko ya wolo;
You, O king, have made a decree that every man who hears the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, falls down and pays respect to the golden image;
11 mpe ete moto nyonso oyo akoboya kofukama mpo na kogumbamela ekeko yango, babwaka ye kati na libulu ya moto!
and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Kasi, mokonzi, ezali na ndambo ya Bayuda oyo okomisaki bayangeli na etuka ya Babiloni: Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego, oyo bazali kotosa yo ata moke te: bazali kosalela banzambe na yo te mpe kogumbamela te ekeko ya wolo oyo osali.
There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the work of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, these men have not made of you, O king, [any] regard; your gods they are not serving, and to the golden image you have raised up—are not making worship.”
13 Mokonzi Nabukodonozori atombokaki makasi mpe abengisaki Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego. Boye, bamemaki bango liboso ya mokonzi.
Then Nebuchadnezzar, in anger and fury, has said to bring in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Then these men have been brought in before the king.
14 Nabukodonozori atunaki bango: — Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego, ezali penza ya solo ete bozali kosalela banzambe na ngai te mpe bozali kogumbamela te ekeko ya wolo oyo nasali?
Nebuchadnezzar has answered and said to them, “Is [it] a laid plan, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego—my gods you are not serving, and to the golden image that I have raised up you are not worshiping?
15 Sik’oyo, bomibongisa! Tango kaka bokoyoka lolaka ya kelelo, ya flite, ya lindanda ya moke, ya lindanda, ya nzenze, ya fanfari mpe makelele ya nyonso ya bibetelo mindule, bokofukama mpo na kogumbamela ekeko oyo nasali. Soki boboyi kogumbamela yango, bokobwakama mbala moko kati na libulu ya moto. Boye, tokotala soki nzambe nini akokoka kokangola bino na maboko na ngai.
Now behold, you are ready, so that at the time that you hear the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, you fall down and pay respect to the image that I have made! But if you do not worship—in that hour you are cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; who is that God who delivers you out of my hands?”
16 Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego bazongiselaki mokonzi Nabukodonozori: — Tozali na tina na komibundela te na likambo oyo liboso na yo.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego have answered, indeed, they are saying to King Nebuchadnezzar, “We have no need concerning this matter to answer you.
17 Soki babwaki biso kati na libulu ya moto, Nzambe oyo tosalelaka azali na makoki ya kobikisa biso wuta na libulu yango mpe ya kokangola biso na maboko na yo.
Behold, it is; our God whom we are serving, is able to deliver us from a burning fiery furnace; and from your hand, O king, He delivers.
18 Kasi ata soki abikisi na Ye biso te, tolingi mokonzi oyeba ete, biso, tokosalela banzambe na yo te mpe tokogumbamela te ekeko ya wolo oyo osalaki.
And behold—not! Be it known to you, O king, that we are not serving your gods, and we do not worship the golden image you have raised up.”
19 Nabukodonozori atombokelaki makasi Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego, mpe akangelaki bango elongi; apesaki mitindo ete bapelisa moto makasi penza mbala sambo koleka ndenge bapelisaka yango tango nyonso.
Then Nebuchadnezzar has been full of fury, and the expression of his face has been changed concerning Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; he answered and said to heat the furnace seven times above that which it is seen to be heated;
20 Bongo apesaki mitindo na ndambo ya basoda ya mpiko kati na mampinga na ye ete bakanga Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego basinga mpe babwaka bango kati na libulu ya moto.
and to certain mighty men who [are] in his force he has said to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to cast into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Boye, bakangaki Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego basinga, wana balataki bilamba na bango, banzambala na bango, bakazaka na bango, bitendi na bango oyo bakangaka na moto mpe bilamba mosusu, mpe babwakaki bango kati na libulu ya moto.
Then these men have been bound in their coats, their tunics, and their turbans, and their clothing, and have been cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Lokola mokonzi apesaki mitindo ete bapelisa moto ya libulu ya moto makasi penza, moto yango ebomaki basoda oyo babwakaki Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego kati na libulu ya moto.
Therefore, because that the word of the king is urgent, and the furnace heated exceedingly, those men who have taken up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego—the spark of the fire has killed them.
23 Kasi Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego bakweyaki kati na libulu yango ya moto, bakanga bango basinga makasi.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace—bound.
24 Mokonzi Nabukodonozori akamwaki mpe atelemaki na lombangu; atunaki bapesi toli na ye: — Boni, tobwakaki te bato misato kati na moto, bakanga bango basinga? Bazongiselaki mokonzi: — Mokonzi, tosalaki bongo!
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king has been astonished, and has risen in haste; he has answered and said to his counselors, “Have we not cast three men into the midst of the fire—bound?” They have answered and are saying to the king, “Certainly, O king.”
25 Alobaki na bapesi toli na ye: — Botala! Nazali komona bato minei bazali kotambola kati na moto, bakangama basinga te mpe moto ezali kozikisa bango te; mpe moto ya minei azali lokola mwana ya banzambe.
He answered and has said, “Behold, I am seeing four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth [is] like to a son of the gods.”
26 Nabukodonozori apusanaki pene ya monoko ya libulu ya moto mpe agangaki na mongongo makasi: — Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego, basali ya Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, bobima kuna mpe boya awa! Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego babimaki wuta na libulu ya moto.
Then Nebuchadnezzar has drawn near to the gate of the burning fiery furnace; he has answered and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of God Most High come forth, indeed, come”; then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego come forth, from the midst of the fire;
27 Bayangeli oyo mokonzi atiaki na bituka, bakalaka oyo babatelaka biloko ya mokonzi, bayangeli mpe bapesi toli ya mokonzi bazingelaki bango; mpe bamonaki ete moto ezikisaki te ezala banzoto na bango, suki ya mito na bango to bilamba na bango, mpe batikalaki koyoka bango ata solo ya moto te.
and gathered together, the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the counselors of the king, are seeing these men, that the fire has no power over their bodies, and the hair of their head has not been singed, and their coats have not changed, and the smell of fire has not passed on them.
28 Nabukodonozori alobaki: — Tika ete Nzambe ya Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego akumisama; Ye nde atindaki anjelu na Ye mpo ete abikisa basali na Ye, pamba te batielaka Ye motema! Batosaki mitindo ya mokonzi te mpe bandimaki kobungisa bomoi na bango na esika ya kosalela mpe kogumbamela nzambe mosusu, soki Nzambe na bango te.
Nebuchadnezzar has answered and has said, “Blessed [is] the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who has sent His messenger, and has delivered His servants who trusted on Him.” And the word of the king changed, and gave up their bodies that they might not serve nor pay respect to any god except to their own God.
29 Yango wana, nazwi mokano ete moto nyonso, azala ya mokili, ekolo to lokota nini, oyo akoloba mabe mpo na Nzambe ya Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego, bakokata-kata ye na biteni, bakobuka ndako na ye mpe bakokomisa yango mopiku ya mbindo, pamba te Nzambe mosusu azali te, oyo akoki kobikisa bato na Ye na lolenge oyo!
“And by me a decree is made, that any people, nation, and language, that speaks erroneously concerning the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, he is made pieces, and its house is made a dunghill, because that there is no other god who is able thus to deliver.”
30 Sima na yango, mokonzi atombolaki Shadraki, Meshaki mpe Abedinego kati na etuka ya Babiloni.
Then the king has caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
