Daniel 3
1 Nebukadnessari ọba gbẹ́ ère wúrà kan, èyí tí gíga rẹ̀ tó àádọ́rùn-ún ìgbọ̀nwọ́, tí fífẹ̀ rẹ̀ tó ẹsẹ̀ mẹ́fà, ó sì gbé e kalẹ̀ ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Dura ní agbègbè ìjọba Babeli.
Nebuchadnezzar the king has made an image of gold, its height sixty cubits, its breadth six cubits; he has raised it up in the Valley of Dura, in the province of Babylon;
2 Nígbà náà ni ọba ránṣẹ́ pe àwọn ọmọ-aládé, àwọn olóyè, àwọn ìgbìmọ̀, àwọn baálẹ̀, àwọn balógun, àwọn onídàájọ́, àwọn olùtọ́jú ìṣúra àti gbogbo àwọn olórí agbègbè ìjọba láti wá sí ibi ìyàsímímọ́ ère tí ọba Nebukadnessari gbé kalẹ̀.
and Nebuchadnezzar the king has sent to gather the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the province, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up.
3 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ-aládé, àwọn olóyè, àwọn onímọ̀ràn, àwọn olùtọ́jú ìṣúra, àwọn onídàájọ́ àti gbogbo àwọn olórí agbègbè ìjọba, wọn péjọ láti ya ère tí Nebukadnessari ọba gbé kalẹ̀ sí mímọ́, gbogbo wọn sì dúró síwájú u rẹ̀.
Then are gathered the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the province, to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up: and they are standing before the image that Nebuchadnezzar has raised up.
4 Nígbà náà ni a kéde kígbe sókè wí pé, “Ohun tí a paláṣẹ fún un yín láti ṣe nìyìí, gbogbo ènìyàn, orílẹ̀-èdè àti èdè gbogbo.
And a crier is calling mightily: “They are saying to you: O peoples, nations, and languages!
5 Bí ẹ̀yin bá ti gbọ́ ohùn ìwo, fèrè, dùùrù, ohun èlò, kí ẹ wólẹ̀ fún ère wúrà tí ọba Nebukadnessari gbé kalẹ̀.
At the time that you hear the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, the symphony, and all kinds of music, you fall down and pay respect to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up:
6 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ̀ tí kò bá wólẹ̀, kí ó fi orí balẹ̀, kí a ju ẹni náà sínú iná ìléru.”
and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
7 Nítorí náà, bí wọ́n ṣe gbọ́ ohùn ìwo, fèrè, dùùrù, ohun èlò orin olókùn, ìpè àti onírúurú orin, gbogbo ènìyàn, orílẹ̀-èdè, àti èdè gbogbo wólẹ̀, wọ́n sì fi orí balẹ̀ fún ère wúrà tí ọba Nebukadnessari gbé kalẹ̀.
Therefore at that time, when all the peoples are hearing the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and all kinds of music, falling down are all the peoples, nations and languages, worshiping the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has raised up.
8 Ní àsìkò yìí ni àwọn awòràwọ̀ bọ́ síwájú, wọ́n sì fi ẹ̀sùn kan àwọn ará Juda.
Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans have drawn near, and accused the Jews;
9 Wọ́n sọ fún ọba Nebukadnessari pé, “Kí ọba kí ó pẹ́.
they have answered, indeed, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for all ages!
10 Ìwọ ọba ti pàṣẹ pé, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ti gbọ́ ohùn ìwo, fèrè, dùùrù, ohun èlò orin olókùn, ìpè àti onírúurú orin gbọdọ̀ wólẹ̀ kí ó fi orí balẹ̀ fún ère wúrà
You, O king, have made a decree that every man who hears the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, falls down and pays respect to the golden image;
11 àti ẹnikẹ́ni tí kò bá wólẹ̀, kí ó foríbalẹ̀, a ó sọ irú ẹni bẹ́ẹ̀ sínú iná ìléru.
and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ará Juda kan wà, àwọn tí a yàn láti ṣe olórí agbègbè ìjọba Babeli: Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego, wọ́n ò ka ìwọ ọba sí. Wọn kò sin òrìṣà rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò fi orí balẹ̀ fún ère wúrà tí ìwọ gbé kalẹ̀.”
There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the work of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, these men have not made of you, O king, [any] regard; your gods they are not serving, and to the golden image you have raised up—are not making worship.”
13 Nígbà náà ni Nebukadnessari pàṣẹ ní ìrunú àti ìbínú pé kí a mú Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego wá, wọ́n sì mú wọn wá síwájú ọba.
Then Nebuchadnezzar, in anger and fury, has said to bring in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Then these men have been brought in before the king.
14 Nebukadnessari wí fún wọn wí pé, “Ṣé òtítọ́ ni, Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego wí pé ẹ̀yin kò sin òrìṣà mi àti pé ẹ̀yin kò fi orí balẹ̀ fún ère wúrà tí èmi gbé kalẹ̀.
Nebuchadnezzar has answered and said to them, “Is [it] a laid plan, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego—my gods you are not serving, and to the golden image that I have raised up you are not worshiping?
15 Ní ìsinsin yìí, tí ẹ̀yin bá ti gbọ́ ohùn ìwo, fèrè, dùùrù, ohun èlò orin olókùn, ìpè àti onírúurú orin, bí ẹ̀yin bá ṣetán láti wólẹ̀ kí ẹ̀yin fi orí balẹ̀ fún ère tí mo gbé kalẹ̀ ó dára. Ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ̀yìn bá kọ̀ láti sìn ín, lójúkan náà ni a ó gbé e yín jù sínú iná ìléru. Ǹjẹ́, ta ni Ọlọ́run náà tí yóò gbà yín kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi?”
Now behold, you are ready, so that at the time that you hear the voice of the horn, the flute, the harp, the lyre, the stringed instrument, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, you fall down and pay respect to the image that I have made! But if you do not worship—in that hour you are cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; who is that God who delivers you out of my hands?”
16 Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego dá ọba lóhùn wí pé, “Nebukadnessari, kì í ṣe fún wa láti gba ara wa sílẹ̀ níwájú u rẹ nítorí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego have answered, indeed, they are saying to King Nebuchadnezzar, “We have no need concerning this matter to answer you.
17 Bí ẹ̀yin bá jù wá sínú iná ìléru, Ọlọ́run tí àwa ń sìn lágbára láti gbà wá kúrò nínú rẹ̀, yóò sì gbà wá lọ́wọ́ ọ̀ rẹ, ìwọ ọba.
Behold, it is; our God whom we are serving, is able to deliver us from a burning fiery furnace; and from your hand, O king, He delivers.
18 Ṣùgbọ́n tí kò bá rí bẹ́ẹ̀, a fẹ́ kí ìwọ ọba mọ̀ dájú wí pé àwa kò ní sin òrìṣà rẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò ní fi orí balẹ̀ fún ère wúrà tí ìwọ gbé kalẹ̀.”
And behold—not! Be it known to you, O king, that we are not serving your gods, and we do not worship the golden image you have raised up.”
19 Nígbà náà ni Nebukadnessari bínú gidigidi sí Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego, ojú u rẹ̀ sì yípadà, ó sì pàṣẹ pé, kí wọn dá iná ìléru náà kí ó gbóná ní ìlọ́po méje ju èyí tí wọn ń dá tẹ́lẹ̀,
Then Nebuchadnezzar has been full of fury, and the expression of his face has been changed concerning Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; he answered and said to heat the furnace seven times above that which it is seen to be heated;
20 ó sì pàṣẹ fún àwọn alágbára nínú ogun rẹ̀ pé, kí wọ́n de Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego, kí wọn sì jù wọ́n sínú iná ìléru.
and to certain mighty men who [are] in his force he has said to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to cast into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Nígbà náà ni a dè wọ́n pẹ̀lú àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ wọn, ṣòkòtò, ìbòrí àti àwọn aṣọ mìíràn, a sì jù wọ́n sínú iná ìléru.
Then these men have been bound in their coats, their tunics, and their turbans, and their clothing, and have been cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Nítorí bí àṣẹ ọba ṣe le tó, tí iná ìléru náà sì gbóná, ọwọ́ iná pa àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí wọ́n mú Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego lọ.
Therefore, because that the word of the king is urgent, and the furnace heated exceedingly, those men who have taken up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego—the spark of the fire has killed them.
23 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta náà Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego ṣubú lulẹ̀ sínú iná ìléru náà pẹ̀lú bí a ṣe dè wọ́n.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace—bound.
24 Nígbà náà ni ó ya Nebukadnessari ọba lẹ́nu, ó sì yára dìde dúró, ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn ìgbìmọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Ṣe bí àwọn mẹ́ta ni a gbé jù sínú iná?” Wọ́n wí pé, “Òtítọ́ ni ọba.”
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king has been astonished, and has risen in haste; he has answered and said to his counselors, “Have we not cast three men into the midst of the fire—bound?” They have answered and are saying to the king, “Certainly, O king.”
25 Ó sì wí pé, “Wò ó! Mo rí àwọn mẹ́rin tí a kò dè tí wọ́n ń rìn ká nínú iná, ẹni kẹrin dàbí ọmọ ọlọ́run.”
He answered and has said, “Behold, I am seeing four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth [is] like to a son of the gods.”
26 Nígbà náà, ni Nebukadnessari dé ẹnu-ọ̀nà iná ìléru, ó sì kígbe pé, “Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego, ìránṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo, ẹ jáde, ẹ wá níbi!” Nígbà náà ni Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego jáde láti inú iná.
Then Nebuchadnezzar has drawn near to the gate of the burning fiery furnace; he has answered and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of God Most High come forth, indeed, come”; then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego come forth, from the midst of the fire;
27 Àwọn ọmọ-aládé, ìjòyè, baálẹ̀, àwọn ìgbìmọ̀ ọba péjọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọ wọn. Wọ́n rí i wí pé iná kò ní agbára lára wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò jó wọn lára, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni irun orí wọn kò jóná, àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ wọn kò jóná, òórùn iná kò rùn ní ara wọn rárá.
and gathered together, the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the counselors of the king, are seeing these men, that the fire has no power over their bodies, and the hair of their head has not been singed, and their coats have not changed, and the smell of fire has not passed on them.
28 Nígbà náà, ni Nebukadnessari sọ wí pé, “Ìbùkún ni fún Ọlọ́run Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego, ẹni tí ó rán angẹli rẹ̀ láti gba àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e, wọn kọ àṣẹ ọba, dípò èyí, wọ́n fi ara wọn lélẹ̀ ju kí wọn sìn tàbí foríbalẹ̀ fún ọlọ́run mìíràn yàtọ̀ sí Ọlọ́run wọn.
Nebuchadnezzar has answered and has said, “Blessed [is] the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who has sent His messenger, and has delivered His servants who trusted on Him.” And the word of the king changed, and gave up their bodies that they might not serve nor pay respect to any god except to their own God.
29 Nítorí náà, mo pa àṣẹ pé, ẹnikẹ́ni, orílẹ̀-èdè tàbí èdè kan tí ó bá sọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí Ọlọ́run Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego kí a gé wọn sí wẹ́wẹ́ kí a sì sọ ilé e wọn di ààtàn; nítorí kò sí ọlọ́run mìíràn tí ó lè gba ènìyàn bí irú èyí.”
“And by me a decree is made, that any people, nation, and language, that speaks erroneously concerning the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, he is made pieces, and its house is made a dunghill, because that there is no other god who is able thus to deliver.”
30 Nígbà náà ni ọba gbé Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego ga ní gbogbo agbègbè ìjọba Babeli.
Then the king has caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
