Daaniʼel 3
1 Nebukadnezar Mootichi fakkii warqee kan dheerinni isaa dhundhuma jaatamaa fi balʼinni isaa dhundhuma jaʼaa hojjetee kutaa biyyaa Baabilon keessa dirree Duuraa jedhamu irra dhaabe.
King Nebuchadnezzar made a golden statue sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and he set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
2 Ergasii mootichi akka isaan eebba fakkii inni dhaabe sanaa irratti argamaniif ilmaan mootota, muudamoota, bulchitoota gorsitoota, itti gaafatamtoota mankuusa qabeenyaa, abbootii murtii, hayyoota seeraatii fi qondaaltota biyya hundaa waame.
Then King Nebuchadnezzar sent word to assemble the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the other officials of the provinces to attend the dedication of the statue he had set up.
3 Kanaafuu eebba fakkii Nebukadnezar Mootichi dhaabe sanaa irratti argamuuf ilmaan moototaa, muudamoonni, bulchitoonni, gorsitoonni, itti gaafatamtoonni mankuusa qabeenyaa, abbootiin murtii hayyoonni seeraa biraatii fi qondaaltonni biyyaa hundi walitti qabamanii fuula fakkii sanaa dura dhadhaabatan.
So the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces assembled for the dedication of the statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up, and they stood before it.
4 Kana irratti labsituun tokko akkana jedhee sagalee guddaadhaan labse; “Yaa namoota, sabootaa fi namoonni afaan garaa garaa dubbattan hundi, wanni isin akka gootan ajajamtan kanaa dha:
Then the herald loudly proclaimed, “O people of every nation and language, this is what you are commanded:
5 Isin akkuma sagalee gaanfaa, ulullee, masiinqoo, kiraaraa, baganaa, kan faaggaatii fi sirbaa dhageessaniin addaan lafatti gombifamtanii fakkii warqee kan Nebukadnezar Mootichi dhaabeef sagaduu qabdu.
As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
6 Namni addaan lafatti gombifamee hin sagadne kam iyyuu yoosuma boolla ibiddi keessaa balaliʼutti darbatama.”
And whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.”
7 Kanaafuu namoonni, saboonnii fi namoonni afaan garaa garaa dubbatan hundi yommuu sagalee gaanfaa, ulullee, masiinqoo, kiraaraa, baganaa fi sirbaa hunda dhagaʼanitti addaan lafatti gombifamanii fakkii warqee kan Nebukadnezar Mootichi dhaabe sanaaf sagadan.
Therefore, as soon as all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and all kinds of music, the people of every nation and language would fall down and worship the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
8 Yeroo kanatti Kaldoonni tokko tokko gara fuula duraatti dhufanii dabaan Yihuudoota himatan.
At this time some astrologers came forward and maliciously accused the Jews,
9 Isaanis Nebukadnezar Mootichaan akkana jedhan; “Yaa mootii, ati bara baraan jiraadhu!
saying to King Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, may you live forever!
10 Yaa mootii, ati akka namni kam iyyuu yommuu sagalee gaanfaa, ulullee, masiinqoo, kiraaraa, baganaa kan faaggaatii fi kan sirbaa dhagaʼu kam iyyuu addaan lafatti gombifamee fakkii warqee sanaaf sagaduu qabu seera baafteerta;
You, O king, have issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the golden statue,
11 akka namni lafatti gombifamee sagaduu didu kam iyyuus boolla ibiddi keessaa balaliʼutti darbatamu seera baafteerta.
and that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.
12 Garuu yaa Mooticha, Yihuudoonni ati dhimma biyya Baabilon irratti muudde tokko tokko ajaja kee didaniiru; isaanis Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo dha. Isaan waaqota kee hin tajaajilan yookaan fakkii warqee ati dhaabdeef hin sagadan.”
But there are some Jews you have appointed to manage the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—who have ignored you, O king, and have refused to serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”
13 Nebukadnezaris akka malee aaree Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo waamsise. Kanaafuu namoonni kunneen mooticha duratti dhiʼeeffaman;
Then Nebuchadnezzar, furious with rage, summoned Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king,
14 Nebukadnezaris akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Yaa Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo, isin dhugumaan waaqota koo hin tajaajiltanii? Yookaan fakkii warqee ani dhaabeef hin sagaddanii?
and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, is it true that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden statue I have set up?
15 Amma isin yeroo sagalee gaanfaa, ulullee, masiinqoo, kiraaraa, baganaa, kan faaggaatii fi sirba kam iyyuu dhageessanitti kuftanii fakkii ani dhaabeef yoo sagaddan gaarii dha. Garuu yoo isin sagaduu baattan, yoosuma boolla ibiddi keessaa balaliʼutti darbatamtu. Egaa waaqa kamitu harka kootii isin baasuu dandaʼa?”
Now, if you are ready, as soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the statue I have made. But if you refuse to worship, you will be thrown at once into the blazing fiery furnace. Then what god will be able to deliver you from my hands?”
16 Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoon deebisanii mootichaan akkana jedhan; “Yaa Nebukadnezar, nu fuula kee duratti waan kana falmachuu hin barbaannu.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
17 Yaa Mootii, nu yoo boolla ibiddi keessaa balaliʼutti darbatamne, Waaqni nu isa tajaajillu sun nu oolchuu dandaʼa; harka keetii illee nu baasuu dandaʼa.
If the God whom we serve exists, then He is able to deliver us from the blazing fiery furnace and from your hand, O king.
18 Yaa Mootii, yoo inni nu baasuu baate iyyuu nu waaqota kee akka hin tajaajille yookaan fakkii warqee ati dhaabde sanaaf akka hin sagadne akka beektu barbaanna.”
But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”
19 Kana irratti Nebukadnezar akka malee aaree fuulli isaa Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagootti geeddarame. Akka ibiddi boollaa sunis hamma durii caalaa harka torba hoʼee finiinu ajaje;
At this, Nebuchadnezzar was filled with rage, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He gave orders to heat the furnace seven times hotter than usual,
20 akka isaan Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo hidhanii boolla ibiddi keessaa bobaʼu sanatti darbataniif loltoota isaa keessaa jajjaboo tokko tokko ajaje.
and he commanded some mighty men of valor in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the blazing fiery furnace.
21 Kanaafuu namoonni kunneen akkuma wandaboo isaanii, fiddoo isaanii, marata isaanii kan mataatii fi uffata biraas uffatanitti hidhamanii boolla ibiddi keessaa balaliʼu sanatti darbataman.
So they were tied up, wearing robes, trousers, turbans, and other clothes, and they were thrown into the blazing fiery furnace.
22 Ajajni mootichaa akka malee ariifachiisaa ture; sababii ibiddi boollaa sun akka malee bobaʼaa tureef arrabni ibidda sanaa loltoota Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo geessan sana fixe;
The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the fiery flames killed the men who carried up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 namoonni sadan kunneenis jabeeffamanii hidhamanii boolla ibiddi keessaa balaliʼu sana keessatti kufan.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, firmly bound, fell into the blazing fiery furnace.
24 Nebukadnezar Mootichi dinqisiifachuudhaan utaalee kaʼee, “Namoonni nu hiinee ibiddatti darbanne sadii hin turree?” jedhee gorsitoota isaa gaafate. Isaanis, “Yaa Mootii, kun dhuguma” jedhanii deebisan.
Suddenly King Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and asked his advisers, “Did we not throw three men, firmly bound, into the fire?” “Certainly, O king,” they replied.
25 Innis, “Ilaa! Ani namoota ibidda keessa deddeebiʼan afur nan arga; isaanis hin hidhamne; hin miidhamnes; inni afuraffaan immoo ilma waaqotaa fakkaata” jedheen.
“Look!” he exclaimed. “I see four men, unbound and unharmed, walking around in the fire—and the fourth looks like a son of the gods!”
26 Nebukadnezaris gara afaan boolla ibiddi keessaa bobaʼutti dhiʼaatee sagalee guddaadhaan, “Yaa Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo, tajaajiltoota Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii, kottaa baʼaa! As kottaa” jedhe. Akkasiin Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoon ibidda keessaa baʼan;
Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the door of the blazing fiery furnace and called out, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire,
27 ilmaan moototaa, muudamoonni, bulchitoonnii fi gorsitoonni mootii naannoo isaaniitti walitti qabaman. Isaanis akka ibiddi sun dhagna jaraa hin miidhin yookaan akka rifeensa mataa isaanii keessaa tokko iyyuu hin gubatin ni argan; wandaboon isaanii iyyuu homaa hin taane; fooliin ibiddaas isaan irra hin turre.
and when the satraps, prefects, governors, and royal advisers had gathered around, they saw that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men. Not a hair of their heads was singed, their robes were unaffected, and there was no smell of fire on them.
28 Kana irratti Nebukadnezar akkana jedhe; “Waaqa Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo isa ergamaa isaa ergee tajaajiltoota isaa baraareef galanni haa taʼu! Isaan isa amanatanii ajaja mootii didanii akka Waaqa isaanii malee waaqota biraa hin tajaajille yookaan hin waaqeffanne lubbuu isaanii dabarsanii kennaniiru.
Nebuchadnezzar declared, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him. They violated the king’s command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.
29 Kanaafuu Waaqni akkasitti nama oolchu kan biraa Waaqa hin jirreef, ani akka uummanni saba kamii iyyuu yookaan afaan kamii iyyuu yoo Waaqa Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo irratti waan hamaa dubbate kukkutamu, akka manni isaas tuullaa waan diigamee taʼu labseera.”
Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be cut into pieces and their houses reduced to rubble. For there is no other god who can deliver in this way.”
30 Ergasii mootichi Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo kutaa biyyaa Baabilon irratti muude.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
