< Danieli 3 >
1 Mfalme Nebukadneza alitengeneza sanamu ya dhahabu ambayo ilikuwa na urefu wa dhiraa sitini na upana dhiraa sita. Aliiweka katika uwanda wa Dura katika jimbo la Babeli.
Nebuchadnezzar king the he made an image of gold height its [was] cubits sixty width its [was] cubits six he set up it on [the] plain of Dura in [the] province of Babylon.
2 Kisha Nebukadneza alituma ujumbe wa kuwaita pamoja magavana wote wa majimbo, magavana wa mikoa, na magavana wa vijiji, pamoja na na washauiri, wahazini, waamuzi, mahakimu, na maafisa wengine wakuu wa majimbo ili waje kwa ajili ya uzinduzi wa sanamu aliyokuwa ameiweka.
And Nebuchadnezzar king the he sent to gather - satraps the prefects the and governors the counselors the ministers the judges the magistrates the and all [the] authorities of provinces the to come to [the] dedication of image the which he had set up Nebuchadnezzar king the.
3 Ndipo magavana wa majimbo, magavana wa mikoa, na magavana wa vijiji, pamoja na washauri, wahasibu, waamuzi, mahakimu, na maafisa wa juu wa majimbo walikusanyika kwa pamoja katika uzinduzi wa sanamu ambayo Nebukadneza aliyokuwa ameiweka. Walisimama mbele yake.
Then [were] gathered satraps the prefects the and governors the counselors the ministers the judges the magistrates the and all [the] authorities of provinces the for [the] dedication of image the which he had set up Nebuchadnezzar king the (and [they were] standing *Q(k)*) before image the which he had set up Nebuchadnezzar.
4 Kisha mtangazaji alipiga kelele, “Enyi watu, mataifa, na lugha mmeamriwa
And herald the [was] proclaiming with power to you [they are] saying peoples O nations and languages.
5 kwamba mtakaposikia sauti za pembe, filimbi, ala za muziki, zeze, vinubi na zumari na aina zote za muziki, ni sharti kuanguka na kuisujudia ninyi wenyewe sanamu ya dhahabu ambayo Mfalme Nebukadneza alikuwa ameiweka.
At time the which you will hear [the] sound of horn the flute the (zither *Q(k)*) trigon harp pipe and all kinds of music you will fall down so you may pay homage to [the] image of gold which he has set up Nebuchadnezzar king the.
6 Na yeyote asiyeanguka na kuiabuda, kwa wakati huo huo atatupwa katika tanuru la moto.”
And whoever that not he will fall down so he may pay homage at it moment the he will be thrown to [the] midst of [the] furnace of fire the burning.
7 Basi watu walilposikia sauti za pembe, filimbi, ala za muziki, zeze, vinubi na zumari na aina zote za muziki, watu wote, mataifa na lugha walianguka na kuisujudia wao wenyewe sanamu ya dhahabu ambayo Nebukadneza mfalme alikuwa ameiweka.
As to because this at it time the as that [were] hearing all peoples the [the] sound of horn the flute the (zither *Q(k)*) trigon harp (and pipe *X*) and all kinds of music [were] falling down all peoples the nations the and languages the [they were] paying homage to [the] image of gold which he had set up Nebuchadnezzar king the.
8 Wakati huu baadhi ya Walkadayo walikuja na kuleta mashitaka kinyume na Wayahudi.
As to because this at it time the they approached men Chaldean and they ate pieces their of Jews the.
9 Walimwambia mfalme Nebukadneza, “mfalme aishi milele!
They replied and [were] saying to Nebuchadnezzar king the king O for ever live!
10 Ewe mfalme, umeweka amri kwamba kila mtu aisikiye sauti ya pembe, filimbi, ala za muziki, zeze, vinubi na zumari, na aina zote za muziki, lazima kuanguka na kuisujudia sanamu ya dhahabu.
(You *Q(k)*) king O you made a decree that every person who he will hear [the] sound of horn the flute the (zither *Q(k)*) trigon harp (and pipe *Q(k)*) and all kinds of music he will fall down so he may pay homage to [the] image of gold.
11 Mtu yeyote asiyeanguka na kuiabudu sharti atupwe katika tanuru linalowaka moto.
And whoever that not he will fall down so he may pay homage he will be thrown to [the] midst of [the] furnace of fire the burning.
12 Sasa kuna baadhi ya Wayahudi ambao umewaweka juu masuala ya jimbo la Babeli; majina yao ni Shadraka, Meshaki, na Abednego. Mfalme, hawa watu hawakutii wewe. Hawataiabudu, kuitumikia wala kuisujudia wenyewe sanamu ya dhahabu ambayo umeiweka.”
There [are] men Jewish whom you have appointed them over [the] administration of [the] province of Babylon Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego men the these not they have set (to you *Q(k)*) king O discretion (to god your *Q(K)*) not [they are] paying reverence and to [the] image of gold which you have set up not [they are] paying homage.
13 Ndipo Nebukadneza alijawa na hasira na ghadhabu, aliagiza kwamba Shadraka, Meshaki na Abednego waletwe kwake. Hivyo, waliwalete hawa watu mbele ya mfalme.
Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and anger he said to bring Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego then men the these they were brought before king the.
14 Nebukadneza aliwaambia, “Je mmejipanga katika akili zenu, enyi Shadraka, Meshaki na Abedinego, kwamba hamtaiabudu miungu yangu wala kuisujudia wenyewe sanamu ile ya dhahabu ambayo nimeiweka?
[was] replying Nebuchadnezzar and [was] saying to them ¿ purpose O Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego to gods my not are you [are] paying reverence and to [the] image of gold which I have set up not [you are] paying homage.
15 Basi sasa kama mko tayari - mtakaposikia sauti pembe, filimbi, ala za muziki, zeze, vinumbi na zumari, aina zote za muziki - kuanguka chini na kuisujudia wenyewe sanamu ile ambayo nimeitengeneza, mambo yote yatakuwa mazuri. Lakini kama hamtaiabudu, mtatupwa mara katika tanuru la moto. Ni mungu gani atakayeweza kuwaokoa katika mikono yangu?”
Now if are you ready that at time the which you will hear [the] sound of horn the flute the (zither *Q(k)*) trigon harp and pipe and all - kinds of music you will fall down so you may pay homage to image the which I have made and if not you will pay homage at it moment the you will be thrown to [the] midst of [the] furnace of fire the burning and who? he [is the] god who he will deliver you from hands my.
16 Shadraka, Meshaki, na Abednego wakamjibu mfalme, “Nebukadneza, hatuhitaji kukujibu wewe katika jambo hili.
They replied Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego and [they were] saying to king the Nebuchadnezzar not [are] needing we concerning this affair to send back to you.
17 Kama kuna jibu, ni kwamba Mungu wetu ambaye tunamtumikia anaweza kutuhifadhi sisi salama katika katika tanuru la moto, na atatuokoa sisi katika mkono wako, mfalme.
If there [is] God our whom we [are] paying reverence [is] being able to deliver us from [the] furnace of fire the burning and from hand your king O he will deliver.
18 Kama sivyo, na ijulikane kwako, wewe mfalme, kwamba hatutaiabudu miungu yako, na wala hatutaisujudia wenyewe sanamu ya dhahabu uliyoiweka.
And if not known let it be to you king O that (to god your *Q(K)*) not (are we *Q(k)*) paying reverence and to [the] image of gold which you have set up not we will pay homage.
19 Ndipo Nebukadneza alijawa na ghadhabu; mwonekano wa uso wake ulibadilika kinyume na Shadraka, Meshaki na Abedinego. Aliagiza kuwa tanuru lichochewe ukali mara saba zaidi kuliko lilivyokuwa kawaida.
Then Nebuchadnezzar he was filled anger and [the] image of face his (it was changed *Q(K)*) against Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego [he was] replying and [he was] saying to heat furnace the one seven over that [was] proper to heat it.
20 Kisha aliwaamuru baadhi ya watu wenye nguvu katika jeshi lake kuwafunga Shadraka, Meshaki na Abednego na kuwatupa katika tanuru liwakalo moto.
And to men mighty men of power who [were] in army his he said to bind Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego to throw to [the] furnace of fire the burning.
21 Walifungwa akali wakiwa wamevaa nguo zao, kanzu, kilemba, na mavazi mengine, na walitupa katika tanuru liwakalo moto.
Then men the these they were bound in mantles their (trousers their *Q(k)*) and caps their and clothes their and they were thrown to [the] midst of [the] furnace of fire the burning.
22 Kwasababu ya agizo la mfalme lilifuatwa na tanuru lilikuwa na joto sana, miali ya moto iliwaua watu waliowatupa Shadraka, Meshaki, na Abedinego.
As to because this from that [the] word of king the being harsh and furnace the [was] heated exceedingly men the these who they took up Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego it killed them flame the of fire the.
23 Hawa wanaume watatu, Shadraka, Meshaki, na Abednego, waliangukia katika tanuru liwakalo moto wakali wamefungwa.
And men the these three of them Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego they fell to [the] midst of [the] furnace of fire the burning bound.
24 Kisha Nebukadneza mfalme alishangazwa na alisimam haraka. Aliwauliza washauri wake, “Je hatukutupa watu watatu wakiwa wamefungwa katika moto?” Nao walimjibu mfalme, “Hakika mfalme.”
Then Nebuchadnezzar king the he was alarmed and he arose in haste [he was] replying and [he was] saying to counselors his ¿ not men three did we throw to [the] midst of fire the bound [they were] replying and [they were] saying to king the certain king O.
25 Alisema, “Lakini ninaona watu wanne ambao hawajafungwa wakizunguka katika moto, na hawajaumizwa. Mng'ao wa mtu wa nne ni kama mwana wa miungu.”
[he was] replying And [he was] saying look! I [am] seeing men four loosed [they are] walking in [the] midst of fire the and hurt not there [is] on them and appearance his of (fourth the *Q(k)*) [is] like a son of [the] gods.
26 Ndipo Nebukadneza aliposogea karibu na mlango wa tanuru liwakalo moto na akaaita, “Shadraka, Meshaki na Abednego, watumishi wa Mungu Aliye Juu, tokeni nje! Njooni hapa! Ndipo Shadraka, Meshaki na Abednego walitoka nje ya moto.
Then he approached Nebuchadnezzar to [the] door of [the] furnace of fire the burning [he was] replying and [he was] saying O Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego servants his of God (Most High the *Q(k)*) come out! and come! then [were] coming out Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego from [the] midst of fire the.
27 Magavana wa majimbo, magavana wengine, na washauri wa mfalme waliokuwa wamekusanyika kwa pamoja waliwaona watu hawa. Moto haukuunguza miili yao; nywele katika vichwa vyao hazikuungua; mavazi yao yalikuwa hayajaharibiwa; na hawakuwa na harufu ya moto.
And [were] gathered satraps the prefects the and governors the and [the] counselors of king the [they were] seeing men the these that not it had had power fire the over body their and [the] hair of head their not it was singed and mantles their not they were changed and [the] smell of fire not it had touched on them.
28 Nebukadneza alisema, “Na tumsifu Mungu wa Shadraka, Meshaki na Abedinego, ambaye amemtuma mjumbe wake na amewapa ujumbe watumishi wake. Walimtumaini yeye wakati walipoikana amri yangu, na waliitoa miili yao badala ya kuabudu au kusujudia mungu mwingine isipokuwa Mungu wao.
[was] replying Nebuchadnezzar and [he was] saying [be] blessed God their of Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego who he has sent angel his and he has delivered servants his who they trusted on him and [the] word of king the they violated and they gave (body their *Q(K)*) that not they will pay reverence and not they will pay homage to any god except to own God their.
29 Hivyo basi ninaagiza kwamba watu wote, taifa au lugha ambayo itazungumza kitu chochote kinyume na Mungu wa Shadraka, Meshaki na Abedinego lazima wakatwe vipande, na ya kwamba nyumba zao lazima zifanywe kuwa vichuguu vya uchafu kwasababu hakuna mungu mwingine anayeweza kuokoa kama hivi.”
And from me it is made a decree that any people nation and language which it will say (negligence *Q(K)*) against God their of Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego members he will be made and house his a refuse-heap it will be made as to because that not there [is] a god another who he is able to rescue like this.
30 Ndipo mfalme aliwapandisha cheo Shadraka, Meshaki na Abednego katika jimbo la Babeli.
Then king the he caused to prosper Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego in [the] province of Babylon.
