Daniela 3
1 Nanao saren-draha volamena t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka, kiho enem-polo ty haabo’e, le kiho eneñe ty am-pohe’e; natroa’e ami’ty monto’ i Dorà, am-paritane’ i Bavele ao.
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.
2 Le nirahe’ i Nebokadnetsare ty koike hanontoñe o beio, naho o sorotà’eo, naho o fiaoloo, o mpizakao, o mpamandroñeo, o kominteo, o prejidào, vaho o mpifehe faritaneo hiatreke ty fañorizañe i sare nampitroare’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakay.
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.
3 Aa le natontoñe amy fañorizañe i sare nampitroare’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakaiy o beio, naho o sorotà’eo, naho o fiaoloo, o mpizakao, o mpamandroñeo, o kominteo, o prejidào, vaho o fonga mpifehe faritaneo. Aa ie nijohañe añ’atrefa’ i sare nampitroare’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakaiy ey, le
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.
4 hoe ty tsinei’ i mpikoikey: Andiliañe ama’ areo ry ondaty, ry fifeheañe naho ry fisaontsy,
Then a herald cried with a strong voice: To you it is commanded, O nations, tribes, and languages:
5 te ie mahajanjiñe ty feon’ antsiva naho soly naho marovany naho jejobory naho kantsàñe naho mandalina vaho ze hene raha mañomey feo, le hibaboke naho hitalaho amy sare volamena natroa’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakaiy;
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.
6 fe havokovoko am-po’ toñake misolebatse ao amy oray avao ze tsy mibaboke naho mitalaho ama’e.
But if any man shall not fall down and adore, he shall the same hour be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
7 Aa ie nahajanjiñe ty feo’ i antsivay naho i soliy naho i marovaniy naho i jejoboriy naho i kantsàñey naho i mandalinay vaho o mpañomey feo iabio, le hene nibaboke ze ondaty, fifeheañe naho fameleke niambane amy sare volamena natroa’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakay.
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.
8 Ie añe, le nitotoke eo ty nte-Kasdy ila’e nanisý o nte-Iehodào
And presently at that very time some Chaldeans came and accused the Jews,
9 nisaontsy amy Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka ty hoe, Ry mpanjaka, lava ohatse.
And said to king Nabuchodonosor: O king, live for ever:
10 Fa nandily irehe, ry mpanjaka, te ze ondaty mahajanjiñe ty feo’ i antsivay naho i soliy naho i marovaniy naho i jejoboriy naho i kantsàñey naho i mandalinay vaho o mpañomey feo iabio, ty hibaboke naho hitalaho amy sare volamenay;
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:
11 vaho ze tsy mibaboke, tsy mitalaho, ro hafetsak’ an-toñake mirebareba ao.
And that if any man shall not fall down and adore, he should be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
12 Eo o nte-Iehodà ila’e nampamandroñe’o o raham-paritane’ i Baveleoo: toe i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò; tsy mañaoñe azo indaty rey ry mpanjaka; tsy miambane amo ndrahare’oo, naho tsy mitalaho amy sare volamena natroa’oy.
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.
13 Aa le niviñetse am-poroforo t’i Nebokadnetsare vaho linili’e te hasese mb’eo t’i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò. Aa le nasese mb’ añatrefa’ i mpanjakay mb’ eo indaty rey.
Then Nabuchodonosor in fury, and in wrath, commanded that Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago should be brought: who immediately were brought before the king.
14 Nanao ty hoe am’ iereo t’i Nebokadnetsare: O ry Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò, to hao t’ie tsy miasy o ‘ndraharekoo, naho tsy mitalaho amy sare volamena natroakoy?
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?
15 Aa ie mahajanjiñe ty feo’ i antsivay naho i soliy naho i marovaniy naho i jejoboriy naho i kantsàñey naho i mandalinay miharo amo mpañomey feo iabio, ho veka’e hibaboke naho hitalaho amy sare volamenay vi’ nahareo henane zay? Fa naho tsy italahoa’ areo, le havokovoko an-toñake misolebatse ao amy oray avao. Andrianañahare aia ty hahahaha anahareo an-tañako?
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?
16 Aa hoe ty natoi’ i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò amy Nebokadnetsare mpanjakay: Ry Nebokadnetsare, tsy anay ty hamale azo amy ontane zay.
Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago answered and said to king Nabuchodonosor: We have no occasion to answer thee concerning this matter.
17 Mahaoniña, te mahahaha anay amy toñake mibelañey t’i Andrianañahare toroñe’ay, vaho mahafipoliora’e am-pità’o zahay ry mpanjaka.
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.
18 Fa naho tsie, ehe mahafohina, ry mpanjaka, t’ie tsy hitalaho amy ‘ndrahare’oy, ndra hiasy i sare volamena natroa’oy.
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.
19 Nilifom-piforoforoañe amy zao t’i Nebokadnetsare le niloroloro amy Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò ty lahara’e, le nanoiñe, naho nandily te hanoeñe im-pito ty hamae’ i toñakey.
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.
20 Linili’e amy zao o fanalolahy am-pirimboñan-dahindefo’eo ty handrohy i Sadrake naho i Mesake naho i Abednegò, vaho hamokovoko iareo amy toñake milebalebay ao.
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.
21 Rinohy reketse saroñe naho sikiñe naho sabaka naho ze lamba ila’e am’ ondaty rey vaho nafetsak’ an-teñateña’ i toñake misolebatsey ao.
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.
22 Aa kanao am-bodongero’e ty nandilia’ i mpanjakay, ie niloho mae i toñakey, le navetran-del’afo ondaty nandrambe i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegòo.
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.
23 Aa le nihotrak’ an-drohy an-toñake nibebañ’ ao indaty telo rey: i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò.
But these three men, that is, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell down bound in the midst of the furnace of burning fire.
24 Nilatsa t’i Nebokadnetsare, mpanjaka, le niongak’ amy zao nisaontsy amo mpanolo-keve’eo ty hoe: Tsy telo hao t’indaty nafetsan-tika an-drohy amo afoo? Hoe ty natoi’ iareo amy mpanjakay; Eka ‘nio, ry mpanjaka.
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.
25 Hoe ty natoi’e: Heheke, mahatrea ondaty efatse midada ao iraho, songa midraidraitse amy afoy ao, tsy ama’e ty mianto, vaho manahake t’i Anak’ Andrianañahare ty vinta’ o fahefatseo.
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.
26 Nitotok’ am-bava’ i toñake misolebatsey t’i Nebokadnetsare, nanao ty hoe: o ry Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò, ry mpitoron’ Añahare Andindimoneñeo, miakara mb’etoy. Aa le nienga boak’ an-teñateña’ i afoy t’i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò.
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.
27 Le nihimpoke eo o beio naho o sorotà’eo naho o fiaoloo, o mpizakao, o mpitàm-bolao, o kominteo, o prejidào vaho o mpifehe faritaneo hisamba ondaty tsy nanaña’ i afoy lilio, leo raik’ amo maròy añambone’ iareoo tsy nimae, tsy niova ka o sarimbo’ iereoo, vaho tsy nipitek’ am’ iereo ty imbon’ afo.
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.
28 Le hoe ty saontsi’ i Nebokadnetsare: Andriañeñe t’i Andrianañahare’ i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò, ie nañirake i anjeli’ey hañaha o mpitoro’e mpiato ama’eo mbore nifotetse amy saontsim-panjakay, namoe ay tsy hitoroñe ndra hitalaho ami’ty ndrahare ila’e naho tsy t’i Andrianañahare’ iareo avao.
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.
29 Aa le mitsey iraho, te ho fonga tseratseraheñe ze miteratera an’ Andrianañahare’ i Sadrake naho i Mesake naho i Abednegò, vaho hatao vongan-deotse ty akiba’e, amy te tsy eo ty drahare ila’e mahahaha manahake zao.
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.
30 Aa le nonjone’ i mpanjakay am-paritane’ i Bavele t’i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò.
Then the king promoted Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, in the province of Babylon.
