Daniel 3
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide: he put it up in the valley of Dura, in the land of Babylon.
Car Navuhodonosor naèini zlatan lik, kojemu visina bješe šezdeset lakata, a širina šest lakata; i namjesti ga u polju Duri u zemlji Vavilonskoj.
2 And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to get together all the captains, the chiefs, the rulers, the wise men, the keepers of public money, the judges, the overseers, and all the rulers of the divisions of the country, to come to see the unveiling of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up.
I posla car Navuhodonosor da saberu knezove, upravitelje i vojvode, starješine, riznièare, sudije, nastojnike i sve vlastelje zemaljske, da doðu da se osveti lik što ga postavi car Navuhodonosor.
3 Then the captains, the chiefs, the rulers, the wise men, the keepers of public money, the judges, the overseers, and all the rulers of the divisions of the country, came together to see the unveiling of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up; and they took their places before the image which Nebuchadnezzar had put up.
Tada se skupiše knezovi, upravitelji i vojvode, starješine, riznièari, sudije, nastojnici, i svi vlastelji zemaljski, da se osveti lik što ga postavi car Navuhodonosor; i stadoše pred likom što ga postavi Navuhodonosor.
4 Then one of the king's criers said in a loud voice, To you the order is given, O peoples, nations, and languages,
A glasnik povika iza glasa: narodi, plemena i jezici, vama se govori.
5 That when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to your ears, you are to go down on your faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king has put up:
Kad èujete rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire, pjevanje i svakojake svirke, popadajte i poklonite se zlatnomu liku, koji postavi car Navuhodonosor.
6 And anyone not falling down and worshipping will that same hour be put into a burning and flaming fire.
A ko ne bi pao i poklonio se, onaj èas biæe baèen u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
7 So at that time, all the people, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and all sorts of instruments, came to their ears, went down on their faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up.
Zato svi narodi kako èuše rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire i svakojake svirke, popadaše svi narodi, plemena i jezici, i pokloniše se zlatnome liku koji postavi car Navuhodonosor.
8 At that time certain Chaldaeans came near and made a statement against the Jews.
A neki Haldeji taj èas doðoše i tužiše Jevreje,
9 They made answer and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, O King, have life for ever.
I progovoriše i rekoše caru Navuhodonosoru: care, da si živ dovijeka!
10 You, O King, have given an order that every man, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to his ears, is to go down on his face in worship before the image of gold:
Ti si, care, zapovjedio, svaki ko èuje rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire, i pjevanje i svakojake svirke, da padne i pokloni se zlatnome liku;
11 And anyone not falling down and worshipping is to be put into a burning and flaming fire.
A ko ne bi pao i poklonio se, da se baci u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
12 There are certain Jews whom you have put over the business of the land of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men have not given attention to you, O King: they are not servants of your gods or worshippers of the gold image which you have put up.
A imaju ljudi Jevreji, koje si postavio nad poslovima zemlje Vavilonske, Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago; ti ljudi, care, ne haju za te, ne poštuju tvojih bogova, i ne klanjaju se zlatnom liku, koji si postavio.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his wrath and passion gave orders for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego to be sent for. Then they made these men come in before the king.
Tada Navuhodonosor u gnjevu i ljutini zapovjedi da dovedu Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga. I dovedoše te ljude pred cara.
14 Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that you will not be servants of my god or give worship to the image of gold which I have put up?
Navuhodonosor progovori i reèe im: je li istina, Sedraše, Misaše i Avdenago, da vi ne služite mojim bogovima i da se ne klanjate zlatnome liku koji postavih?
15 Now if you are ready, on hearing the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, to go down on your faces in worship before the image which I have made, it is well: but if you will not give worship, that same hour you will be put into a burning and flaming fire; and what god is there who will be able to take you out of my hands?
Jeste li dakle gotovi, kad èujete rog, svirale, kitare, gusle, psaltire i pjevanje i svakojake svirke, da padnete i poklonite se liku koji naèinih? ako li se ne poklonite, onaj èas biæete baèeni u peæ ognjenu užarenu; a koji je bog što æe vas izbaviti iz mojih ruku?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answering Nebuchadnezzar the king, said, There is no need for us to give you an answer to this question.
Odgovoriše Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago, i rekoše caru Navuhodonosoru: nije nam trijebe da ti odgovorimo na to.
17 If our God, whose servants we are, is able to keep us safe from the burning and flaming fire, and from your hands, O King, he will keep us safe.
Evo, Bog naš, kojemu mi služimo, može nas izbaviti iz peæi ognjene užarene; i izbaviæe nas iz tvojih ruku, care.
18 But if not, be certain, O King, that we will not be the servants of your gods, or give worship to the image of gold which you have put up.
A i da ne bi, znaj, care, da bogovima tvojim neæemo služiti niti æemo se pokloniti zlatnom liku, koji si postavio.
19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of wrath, and the form of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: and he gave orders that the fire was to be heated up seven times more than it was generally heated.
Tada se Navuhodonosor napuni gnjeva, i lice mu se promijeni na Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga, i odgovarajuæi zapovjedi da se užari peæ sedam puta veæma nego što bješe obièaj.
20 And he gave orders to certain strong men in his army to put cords on Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego and put them into the burning and flaming fire.
I zapovjedi najjaèim ljudima što bijahu u vojsci njegovoj da svežu Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga, i da ih bace u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
21 Then these men had cords put round them as they were, in their coats, their trousers, their hats, and their clothing, and were dropped into the burning and flaming fire.
Tada svezaše one ljude u plaštima njihovijem i u obuæi i pod kapama i u svemu odijelu njihovu, i baciše ih u peæ ognjenu užarenu.
22 And because the king's order was not to be put on one side, and the heat of the fire was so great, the men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were burned to death by the flame of the fire.
Kako zapovijest careva bješe hitna i peæ vrlo užarena, plamen ognjeni ubi one ljude koji bacahu Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, with the cords about them, went down into the burning and flaming fire.
A ta tri èovjeka, Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago, padoše usred peæi ognjene užarene.
24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar, full of fear and wonder, got up quickly, and said to his wise men, Did we not put three men in cords into the fire? and they made answer and said to the king, True, O King.
Tada se prepade car Navuhodonosor, i brže ustav progovori i reèe svojim dvoranima: ne bacismo li tri èovjeka svezana u oganj? Odgovoriše i rekoše caru: da, care.
25 He made answer and said, Look! I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are not damaged; and the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods.
Odgovori i reèe: eno, vidim èetiri èovjeka odriješena gdje hode posred ognja i nije im ništa, i èetvrti kao da je sin Božji.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near the door of the burning and flaming fire: he made answer and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, you servants of the Most High God, come out and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out of the fire.
Tada pristupi Navuhodonosor na vrata ognjenoj peæi užarenoj, i progovori i reèe: Sedraše, Misaše i Avdenago, sluge Boga višnjega, izidite i hodite. Tada Sedrah, Misah i Avdenago izidoše isred ognja.
27 And the captains, the chiefs, and the rulers, and the king's wise men who had come together, saw these men, over whose bodies the fire had no power, and not a hair of their heads was burned, and their coats were not changed, and there was no smell of fire about them.
I sabraše se knezovi i upravitelji i vojvode i vijeænici carevi, i vidješe te ljude gdje im tijelu oganj ništa ne može, niti im se kosa na glavi opali, niti im se plašti što promijeniše, niti zadah od ognja prionu za njih.
28 Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said, Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel and kept his servants safe who had faith in him, and who put the king's word on one side and gave up their bodies to the fire, so that they might not be servants or worshippers of any other god but their God.
Progovori Navuhodonosor i reèe: da je blagosloven Bog Sedrahov, Misahov i Avdenagov, koji posla anðela svojega i izbavi sluge svoje, koje se u nj pouzdaše i ne poslušaše zapovijesti careve i dadoše tjelesa svoja da ne bi služili niti se poklonili drugom bogu osim svojega Boga.
29 And it is my decision that any people, nation, or language saying evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, will be cut to bits and their houses made waste: because there is no other god who is able to give salvation such as this.
Zato zapovijedam da se svaki kojega mu drago naroda i plemena i jezika, koji bi pohulio na Boga Sedrahova, Misahova i Avdenagova, da se isijeèe i kuæa da mu bude bunište, jer nema drugoga boga koji može tako izbaviti.
30 Then the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego even greater authority in the land of Babylon.
Tada car uzvisi Sedraha, Misaha i Avdenaga u zemlji Vavilonskoj.
