Daniela 3
1 Nebokadnezara mpanjaka nanao sariolona volamena, enim-polo hakiho ny hahavony, ary enina hakiho ny sakany; dia natsangany teo amin’ ny tany lemaka Dora tamin’ ny fehin’ i Babylona izany.
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 Ary Nebokadnezara mpanjaka naniraka nampamory ny solom-panjaka sy ny mpanapaka sy ny governora sy ny andriambaventy sy ny mpitahiry ny volam-panjakana sy ny mpahay lalàna sy ny mpitsara ary ny komandy isan-tokony mba hanamasina ilay sariolona efa natsangan’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka.
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 Dia nivory hanamasina ny sariolona izay efa natsangan’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjakan’ ny solom-panjaka sy ny mpanapaka sy ny governora sy ny andriambaventy sy ny mpitahiry ny volam-panjakana sy ny mpahay lalàna sy ny mpitsara ary ny komandy isan-tokony, ka dia nitsangana tandrifin’ ny sariolona izay efa natsangan’ i Nebokadnezara ireo.
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 Ary dia nisy mpikabary niantso mafy hoe: Izao no lazaina aminareo, ry fokom-pirenena, ry firenena sy samy hafa fiteny:
And a crier is calling mightily: “They are saying to you: O peoples, nations, and languages!
5 Rehefa mandre ny fanenon’ ny anjomara sy ny sobaba sy ny lokanga sy ny samboka sy ny valiha sy ny symponia ary ny zava-maneno isan-karazany ianareo, dia miankohofa, ka mivavaha amin’ ny sariolona volamena izay efa natsangan’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka,
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 ary na iza na iza no tsy miankohoka sy tsy mivavaka dia hatsipy miaraka amin’ izay ho ao anatin’ ny lafaoro misy afo mirehitra.
and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
7 Koa tamin’ ny fotoana nandrenesan’ ny fokom-pirenena rehetra ny fanenon’ ny anjomara sy ny sobaba sy ny lokanga sy ny samboka sy ny valiha ary ny zava-maneno isan-karazany, dia niankohoka sy nivavaka tamin’ ny sariolona volamena izay efa natsangan’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena ary ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra.
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 Ary tamin’ izay dia nisy Kaldeana sasany nanatona ka niampanga ny Jiosy.
Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans have drawn near, and accused the Jews;
9 Dia niteny izy ka nanao tamin’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka hoe: Ry mpanjaka ô, ho velona mandrakizay anie ianao.
they have answered, indeed, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for all ages!
10 Ry mpanjaka ô, ianao efa nanao lalàna fa ny olona rehetra izay mandre ny fanenon’ ny anjomara sy ny sobaba sy ny lokanga sy ny samboka sy ny valiha sy ny symponia ary ny zava-maneno isan-karazany dia hiankohoka hivavaka amin’ ny sariolona volamena;
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 fa izay tsy miankohoka sy tsy mivavaka kosa dia hatsipy ao anatin’ ny lafaoro misy afo mirehitra.
and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Koa misy Jiosy izay nataonao ho tonian’ ny raharaha amin’ i Babylona sy ny fehiny, dia Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego; ireo lehilahy ireo tsy mba manaiky ny teninao akory, ry mpanjaka ô: tsy mba manompo ny andriamanitrao izy, na mivavaka amin’ ny sariolona volamena izay efa natsanganao.
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 Dia niteny tamin’ ny fahavinirana sy ny fahatezerana Nebokadnezara, ka nasainy nalaina Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego. Dia nentiny teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka ireo lehilahy ireo.
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 Dia niteny Nebokadnezara ka nanao taminy hoe: Moa fanahy ninianareo va, ry Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego, no tsy mba anompoanareo ny andriamanitro, na ivavahanareo amin’ ny sariolona volamena izay natsangako?
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 Ankehitriny raha miomana ianareo amin’ izay handrenesanareo ny fanenon’ ny anjomara sy ny samboka sy ny valiha sy ny symponia sy ny Sobaba sy ny lokanga ary ny zava-maneno isan-karazany ka miankohoka sy mivavaka amin’ ny sariolona izay nataoko, dia tsara izany; fa raha tsy mety mivavaka kosa ianareo, dia hatsipy miaraka amin’ izay ho ao anatin’ ny lafaoro misy afo mirehitra; ary iza moa izany Andriamanitra hahavonjy anareo amin’ ny tanako izany?
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 Dia namaly Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego ka nanao tamin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Ry Nebokadnezara, tsy misy antony tokony hamalianay anao akory ny amin’ izany zavatra izany.
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 Indro, Andriamanitra Izay tompoinay dia mahavonjy anay amin’ ny lafaoro misy afo mirehitra sady hamonjy anay amin’ ny tananao, ry mpanjaka ô.
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 Ary na dia tsy izany aza, aoka ho fantatrao, ry mpanjaka ô, fa ny andriamanitrao dia tsy hotompoinay, ary ny sariolona volamena efa natsanganao dia tsy hivavahanay.
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 Dia feno fahatezerana Nebokadnezara, ka niova ny tarehiny tamin’ i Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego, dia nasainy nafanaina ho impito mihoatra noho ny famana azy ny lafaoro.
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 Ary izay lehilahy matanjaka indrindra tamin’ ny miaramilany no nasainy namatotra an’ i Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego sy nanipy azy tao anatin’ ny lafaoro nisy afo mirehitra.
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 Dia nafatotra ireo lehilahy ireo, nefa mbola teny aminy ihany ny lobany sy ny akanjony ary ny kapitiny mbamin’ ny fitafiany hafa koa, ka dia natsipy teo anatin’ ny lafaoro nisy afo mirehitra izy;
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 ary satria mafy ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka, ka natao mahamay indrindra ny lafaoro, dia matin’ ny lelafo ireny lehilahy izay nanipy an’ i Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego.
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 Ary izy telo lahy ireo, Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego, dia voatsipy am-patorana teo anatin’ ny lafaoro nisy afo mirehitra.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace—bound.
24 Dia talanjona Nebokadnezara mpanjaka ary nitsangana faingana izy ka niteny tamin’ ny mpanolo-tsainy hoe: Moa tsy telo lahy mifatotra va no natsipintsika tao anatin’ ny afo? Dia namaly ny mpanjaka ireo ka nanao hoe: Marina izany, ry mpanjaka ô.
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 Ary hoy izy: Ka no indro aho mahita efa-dahy tsy mifatotra, mandehandeha eo anaty afo, nefa tsy maninona tsy maninona akory izy; ary ny fijery ilay fahefatra dia toa zanak’ ireo andriamanitra.
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 Dia nanatona ny varavaran’ ny lafaoro nisy afo mirehitra Nebokadnezara ka niantso hoe: Ry Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego, mpanompon’ Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra, mivoaha, ka avia atỳ. Dia nivoaka avy teo anatin’ ny afo Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego.
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 Dia nifanatona ny solo-mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka sy ny governora ary ny mpanolotsain’ ny mpanjaka ka nahita ireo lehilahy ireo, fa tsy nanan-kery hampaninona ny tenany akory ny afo, na nisy singam-bolo nikainkona tamin’ ny lohany, na niova ny lobany, ary tsy nisy fofon’ afo akory taminy.
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 Nebokadnezara niteny ka nanao hoe: Isaorana anie Andriamanitr’ i Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego, Izay naniraka ny anjeliny hamonjy ny mpanompony izay natoky Azy ka nandika ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka ary nanolotra ny tenany tsy hanompo na hivavaka amin’ izay andriamani-kafa, afa-tsy Andriamaniny ihany.
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 Ka dia manao lalàna aho fa ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena sy ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra izay manao teny tsy mety ny amin’ Andriamanitr’ i Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego dia hotetitetehina, ary hatao trano fivoahana ny tranony; fa tsy misy andriamani-kafa mahavonjy tahaka izao.
“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 Ary Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego dia nasandratry ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Babylona sy ny fehiny.
Then the king has caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
