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.
NEBUCHADNEZZAR the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in 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 Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellers, 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 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.
Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellers, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
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 an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
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.
That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
6 Namni addaan lafatti gombifamee hin sagadne kam iyyuu yoosuma boolla ibiddi keessaa balaliʼutti darbatama.”
And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning 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 at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 Yeroo kanatti Kaldoonni tokko tokko gara fuula duraatti dhufanii dabaan Yihuudoota himatan.
Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
9 Isaanis Nebukadnezar Mootichaan akkana jedhan; “Yaa mootii, ati bara baraan jiraadhu!
They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.
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;
Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
11 akka namni lafatti gombifamee sagaduu didu kam iyyuus boolla ibiddi keessaa balaliʼutti darbatamu seera baafteerta.
And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning 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.”
There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
13 Nebukadnezaris akka malee aaree Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo waamsise. Kanaafuu namoonni kunneen mooticha duratti dhiʼeeffaman;
Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men 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?
Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which 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 ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of 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 Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee 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 it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine 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 if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast 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;
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
20 akka isaan Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo hidhanii boolla ibiddi keessaa bobaʼu sanatti darbataniif loltoota isaa keessaa jajjaboo tokko tokko ajaje.
And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning 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.
Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning 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;
Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
23 namoonni sadan kunneenis jabeeffamanii hidhamanii boolla ibiddi keessaa balaliʼu sana keessatti kufan.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning 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.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
25 Innis, “Ilaa! Ani namoota ibidda keessa deddeebiʼan afur nan arga; isaanis hin hidhamne; hin miidhamnes; inni afuraffaan immoo ilma waaqotaa fakkaata” jedheen.
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
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 came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth of the midst 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 the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellers, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed 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.
Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor 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 make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
30 Ergasii mootichi Shaadraak, Meeshakii fi Abdanaagoo kutaa biyyaa Baabilon irratti muude.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.
