< Daniel 3 >

1 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;
В лето осмонадесятое Навуходоносор царь сотвори тело злато, высота его лактий шестидесяти и широта его лактий шести, и постави е на поли Деире во стране Вавилонстей.
2 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.
И посла (Навуходоносор царь) собрати ипаты и воеводы и местоначалники, вожди же и мучители, и сущыя на властех и вся князи стран, приити на обновление кумира, егоже постави Навуходоносор царь.
3 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.
И собрашася местоначалницы, ипатове, воеводы, вождеве, мучителие велицыи, иже над властьми, и вси началницы стран на обновление тела, еже постави Навуходоносор царь: и сташа пред телом, еже постави Навуходоносор царь.
4 And a crier is calling mightily: “They are saying to you: O peoples, nations, and languages!
И проповедник вопияше со крепостию: вам глаголется, народи, людие, племена, языцы:
5 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:
в оньже час аще услышите глас трубы, свирели же и гусли, самвики же и псалтири и согласия, и всякаго рода мусикийска, падающе покланяйтеся телу златому, еже постави Навуходонсор царь:
6 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
и иже аще не пад поклонится, в той час ввержен будет в пещь огнем горящую.
7 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.
И бысть егда услышаша людие глас трубы, свирели же и гусли, самвики же и псалтири и согласия, и всякаго рода мусикийска, падающе вси людие, племена, языцы, покланяхуся телу златому, еже постави Навуходоносор царь.
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans have drawn near, and accused the Jews;
Тогда приступиша мужие Халдейстии и оболгаша Иудеев,
9 they have answered, indeed, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for all ages!
отвещавше реша Навуходоносору цареви: царю, во веки живи:
10 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;
ты, царю, положил еси повеление, да всяк человек, иже аще услышит глас трубы, свирели же и гусли, самвики же и псалтири и согласия, и всякаго рода мусикийска,
11 and whoever does not fall down and pay respect, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
и не пад поклонится телу златому, ввержен будет в пещь огнем горящую.
12 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.”
Суть убо мужие Иудее, ихже поставил еси над делы страны Вавилионския, Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, иже не послушаша заповеди твоея, царю, и богом твоим не служат и телу златому, еже поставил еси, не покланяются.
13 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.
Тогда Навуходоносор в ярости и гневе рече привести Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго. И приведени быша пред царя.
14 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?
И отвеща Навуходоносор и рече им: аще воистинну, Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, богом моим не служите и телу златому, еже поставих, не покланяетеся?
15 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?”
Ныне убо аще есте готови, да егда услышите глас трубы, свирели же и гусли, самвики же и псалтири и согласия, и всякаго рода мусикийска, падше поклонитеся телу златому, еже сотворих: аще же не поклонитеся, в той час ввержени будете в пещь огнем горящую: и кто есть Бог, иже измет вы из руки моея?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego have answered, indeed, they are saying to King Nebuchadnezzar, “We have no need concerning this matter to answer you.
И отвещаша Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, глаголюще царю Навуходоносору: не требе нам о глаголе сем отвещати тебе:
17 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.
есть бо Бог наш на небесех, Емуже мы служим, силен изяти нас от пещи огнем горящия и от руку твоею избавити нас, царю:
18 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.”
аще ли ни, ведомо да будет тебе, царю, яко богом твоим не служим и телу златому, еже поставил еси, не кланяемся.
19 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;
Тогда Навуходоносор исполнися ярости, и зрак лица его изменися на Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго, и рече: разжжите пещь седмерицею, дондеже до конца разгорится.
20 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.
И мужем сильным крепостию рече: оковавше Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго, вверзите в пещь огнем горящую.
21 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.
Тогда мужие онии оковани быша с гащами своими и покрывалы, и сапогми и со одеждами своими, и ввержени быша посреде пещи огнем горящия.
22 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.
Понеже глагол царев превозможе, и пещь разжжена бысть преизлишше: и мужей оных, иже ввергоша Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго, уби пламень огненный.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace—bound.
И мужие тии трие, Седрах, Мисах и Авденаго, падоша посреде пещи огнем горящия оковани,
24 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.”
Навуходоносор же слыша поющих их, и почудися, и воста со тщанием, и рече вельможам своим: не триех ли мужей ввергохом среде огня связаных? И реша цареви: воистинну, царю.
25 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.”
И рече царь: се, аз вижду мужы четыри разрешены и ходящя среде огня, и истления несть в них, и зрак четвертаго подобен сыну Божию.
26 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;
Тогда прииде Навуходоносор ко устию пещи огнем разжженныя и рече: Седрах, Мисах, Авденаго, раби Бога Вышняго, изыдите и приидите. И изыдоша Седрах, Мисах, Авденаго от среды огня.
27 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.
И собрашася князи и воеводы, и местоначалницы и вельможи царевы, и видяху мужей, яко не одоле огнь телесем их и власа главы их не опали, и ризы их не изменишася, и вони огненны не бяше в них.
28 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.
И поклонися пред ними царь Богу, и отвеща Навуходоносор царь и рече: благословен Бог Седрахов, Мисахов и Авденаго, Иже посла Ангела Своего и изя отроки Своя, яко уповаша на Него: и слово царево премениша, и предаша телеса своя во огнь, яко да не послужат, ни поклонятся всякому богу иному, но точию Богу своему:
29 “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.”
и аз заповедаю заповедь: вси людие, племя, язык, аще речет хулу на Бога Седрахова и Мисахова и Авденаго, в пагубу будут, и домове их в разграбление: понеже несть бога другаго, иже возможет избавити сице.
30 Then the king has caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
Тогда царь постави Седраха, Мисаха и Авденаго во стране Вавилонстей, и возвеличи их, и сподоби их старейшинства Иудеев всех сущих во царстве его.
