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.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in 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 Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king 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 local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
4 hoe ty tsinei’ i mpikoikey: Andiliañe ama’ areo ry ondaty, ry fifeheañe naho ry fisaontsy,
Then the herald cried aloud, “To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, 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 whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.
6 fe havokovoko am-po’ toñake misolebatse ao amy oray avao ze tsy mibaboke naho mitalaho ama’e.
Whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace the same hour.”
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.
Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 Ie añe, le nitotoke eo ty nte-Kasdy ila’e nanisý o nte-Iehodào
Therefore at that time certain Kasdim came near and brought accusation against the Jews.
9 nisaontsy amy Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka ty hoe, Ry mpanjaka, lava ohatse.
They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, “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;
You, O king, have made a decree that every man who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music shall fall down and worship the golden image;
11 vaho ze tsy mibaboke, tsy mitalaho, ro hafetsak’ an-toñake mirebareba ao.
and whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.
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.
There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not respected you. They don’t serve your gods, and don’t worship the golden image which you have 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 Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men 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?
Nebuchadnezzar answered them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you don’t serve my gods and you don’t worship the golden image which 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 if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you don’t worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. Who is that god who will deliver you out of my hands?”
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.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
17 Mahaoniña, te mahahaha anay amy toñake mibelañey t’i Andrianañahare toroñe’ay, vaho mahafipoliora’e am-pità’o zahay ry mpanjaka.
If it happens, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, 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 not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have 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 Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the form of his appearance was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually 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.
He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Rinohy reketse saroñe naho sikiñe naho sabaka naho ze lamba ila’e am’ ondaty rey vaho nafetsak’ an-teñateña’ i toñake misolebatsey ao.
Then these men were bound in their pants, their tunics, and their mantles, and their other clothes, and were cast into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
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.
Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 Aa le nihotrak’ an-drohy an-toñake nibebañ’ ao indaty telo rey: i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò.
These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
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 Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished and rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counselors, “Didn’t we cast three men bound into the middle of the fire?” They answered the king, “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, “Look, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are unharmed. The appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”
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 Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the middle 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.
The local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counselors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies. The hair of their head wasn’t singed. Their pants weren’t changed. The smell of fire wasn’t even 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.
Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship 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.
Therefore I make a decree that every people, nation, and language which speak anything evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill, because there is no other god who is able to deliver like this.”
30 Aa le nonjone’ i mpanjakay am-paritane’ i Bavele t’i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
