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.
King Nebuchadnezzar made a gold statue that was sixty cubits tall and six cubits wide. He set it up in the Plain 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.
Then Nebuchadnezzar sent messages out to gather together the provincial governors, regional governors, and local governors, together with the counselors, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the high officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the statue that he had set 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 the provincial governors, regional governors, and local governors, together with the counselors, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the high officials of the provinces gathered together to the dedication of the statue that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. They stood before it.
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.
Then a herald loudly shouted, “You are commanded, 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.
that at the time you hear the sound of the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, and pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and prostrate yourselves to the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
6 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ̀ tí kò bá wólẹ̀, kí ó fi orí balẹ̀, kí a ju ẹni náà sínú iná ìléru.”
Whoever does not fall down and worship, at that very moment, will be thrown into a blazing 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.
So when all the peoples heard the sounds of the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, and pipes, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and prostrated themselves to the golden statue that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 Ní àsìkò yìí ni àwọn awòràwọ̀ bọ́ síwájú, wọ́n sì fi ẹ̀sùn kan àwọn ará Juda.
Now at this time certain Chaldeans came and brought accusations against the Jews.
9 Wọ́n sọ fún ọba Nebukadnessari pé, “Kí ọba kí ó pẹ́.
They said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “King, live forever!
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, king, have made a decree that every person who hears the sounds of the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, and pipes, and all kinds of music, must fall down and prostrate himself to the golden statue.
11 àti ẹnikẹ́ni tí kò bá wólẹ̀, kí ó foríbalẹ̀, a ó sọ irú ẹni bẹ́ẹ̀ sínú iná ìléru.
Whoever does not fall down and worship must be thrown into a blazing 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.”
Now there are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon; their names are Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, king, pay no attention to you. They will not worship or serve your gods, or prostrate themselves before the golden statue you have set up.”
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, filled with anger and rage, commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought to him. So they brought these men 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 said to them, “Have you made your minds up, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you will not worship my gods or prostrate yourselves to the golden statue that I have set up?
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 if you are ready—when you hear the sounds of the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, and pipes, and all kinds of music—to fall down and prostrate yourselves to the statue that I have made, all will be well. But if you do not worship, you will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace. Who is the god who is able to rescue 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 Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
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.
If there is an answer, it is that our God whom we serve is able to keep us safe from the blazing furnace, and he will rescue us out of your hand, king.
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.”
But if not, let it be known to you, king, that we will not worship your gods, and we will not prostrate ourselves to the golden statue you set 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 was filled with rage; the look on his face changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times hotter than it was normally 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.
Then he commanded some very strong men in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and to throw them into the blazing furnace.
21 Nígbà náà ni a dè wọ́n pẹ̀lú àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ wọn, ṣòkòtò, ìbòrí àti àwọn aṣọ mìíràn, a sì jù wọ́n sínú iná ìléru.
They were tied up still wearing their robes, tunics, turbans, and other clothing, and they were thrown into the blazing 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.
Because the king's command was strictly followed and the furnace was very hot, the flames killed the men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta náà Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego ṣubú lulẹ̀ sínú iná ìléru náà pẹ̀lú bí a ṣe dè wọ́n.
These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell into the blazing furnace while they were tied up.
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 was amazed and stood up quickly. He asked his advisors, “Did we not throw three men tied up into the fire?” They replied to the king, “Certainly, 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 said, “But I see four men who are not tied up walking around in the fire, and they are not hurt. The brilliance of the fourth is like 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 came near the door of the blazing furnace and called out, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of God Most High, come out! Come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out 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.
The provincial governors, regional governors, other governors, and the king's counselors who had gathered together saw these men. The fire had not hurt their bodies; the hair on their heads was not singed; their robes were not harmed; and there was no smell of fire 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 said, “Let us praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his messenger and given his message to his servants. They trusted in him when they set aside my command, and they gave up their bodies rather than worship or prostrate themselves to any god except their 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.”
Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego must be torn apart, and that their houses must be made into rubbish heaps because there is no other god who is able to save like this.”
30 Nígbà náà ni ọba gbé Ṣadraki, Meṣaki àti Abednego ga ní gbogbo agbègbè ìjọba Babeli.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
