< Daniela 3 >

1 Nanao saren-draha volamena t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka, kiho enem-polo ty haabo’e, le kiho eneñe ty am-pohe’e; natroa’e ami’ty monto’ i Dorà, am-paritane’ i Bavele ao.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
2 Le nirahe’ i Nebokadnetsare ty koike hanontoñe o beio, naho o sorotà’eo, naho o fiaoloo, o mpizakao, o mpamandroñeo, o kominteo, o prejidào, vaho o mpifehe faritaneo hiatreke ty fañorizañe i sare nampitroare’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakay.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
3 Aa le natontoñe amy fañorizañe i sare nampitroare’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakaiy o beio, naho o sorotà’eo, naho o fiaoloo, o mpizakao, o mpamandroñeo, o kominteo, o prejidào, vaho o fonga mpifehe faritaneo. Aa ie nijohañe añ’atrefa’ i sare nampitroare’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakaiy ey, le
Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
4 hoe ty tsinei’ i mpikoikey: Andili­añe ama’ areo ry ondaty, ry fifeheañe naho ry fisaontsy,
Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
5 te ie mahajanjiñe ty feon’ antsiva naho soly naho marovany naho jejobory naho kantsàñe naho mandalina vaho ze hene raha mañomey feo, le hiba­boke naho hitalaho amy sare volamena natroa’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakaiy;
That at what time all of you hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, all of you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up:
6 fe havokovoko am-po’ toñake misolebatse ao amy oray avao ze tsy mibaboke naho mitalaho ama’e.
And whoso falls not down and worships shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
7 Aa ie nahajanjiñe ty feo’ i antsivay naho i soliy naho i marovaniy naho i jejoboriy naho i kantsàñey naho i mandalinay vaho o mpañomey feo iabio, le hene nibaboke ze ondaty, fifeheañe naho fameleke niambane amy sare volamena natroa’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjakay.
Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 Ie añe, le nitotoke eo ty nte-Kasdy ila’e nanisý o nte-Iehodào
Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
9 nisaontsy amy Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka ty hoe, Ry mpanjaka, lava ohatse.
They spoke and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.
10 Fa nandily rehe, ry mpanjaka, te ze ondaty mahajanjiñe ty feo’ i antsivay naho i soliy naho i marovaniy naho i jejoboriy naho i kantsàñey naho i mandalinay vaho o mpañomey feo iabio, ty hibaboke naho hitalaho amy sare volamenay;
You, O king, have made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
11 vaho ze tsy mibaboke, tsy mitalaho, ro hafetsak’ an-toñake mirebareba ao.
And whoso falls not down and worships, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Eo o nte-Iehodà ila’e nampamandroñe’o o raham-paritane’ i Baveleoo: toe i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò; tsy mañaoñe azo indaty rey ry mpanjaka; tsy miambane amo ndrahare’oo, naho tsy mita­laho amy sare volamena natroa’oy.
There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded you: they serve not your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.
13 Aa le niviñetse am-poroforo t’i Nebokadnetsare vaho linili’e te hasese mb’eo t’i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò. Aa le nase­se mb’ añatrefa’ i mpanjakay mb’ eo indaty rey.
Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
14 Nanao ty hoe am’ iereo t’i Nebokadnetsare: O ry Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò, to hao t’ie tsy miasy o ‘ndraharekoo, naho tsy mitalaho amy sare volamena natroakoy?
Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not all of you serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
15 Aa ie mahajanjiñe ty feo’ i antsivay naho i soliy naho i marovaniy naho i jejoboriy naho i kantsàñey naho i mandalinay miharo amo mpañomey feo iabio, ho veka’e hibaboke naho hitalaho amy sare volamenay vi’ nahareo henane zay? Fa naho tsy italahoa’ areo, le havokovoko an-toñake misolebatse ao amy oray avao. Andrianañahare aia ty hahahaha anahareo an-tañako?
Now if all of you be ready that at what time all of you hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, all of you fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if all of you worship not, all of you shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
16 Aa hoe ty natoi’ i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò amy Nebokadnetsare mpanjakay: Ry Nebokadnetsare, tsy anay ty hamale azo amy ontane zay.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer you in this matter.
17 Mahaoniña, te mahahaha anay amy toñake mibelañey t’i Andrianañahare toroñe’ay, vaho mahafipoliora’e am-pità’o zahay ry mpanjaka.
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
18 Fa naho tsie, ehe mahafohina, ry mpanjaka, t’ie tsy hitalaho amy ‘ndrahare’oy, ndra hiasy i sare volamena natroa’oy.
But if not, be it known unto you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.
19 Nilifom-piforoforoañe amy zao t’i Nebokadnetsare le niloroloro amy Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò ty lahara’e, le nanoiñe, naho nandily te hanoeñe im-pito ty hamae’ i toñakey.
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was known to be heated.
20 Linili’e amy zao o fanalolahy am-pirimboñan-dahindefo’eo ty handrohy i Sadrake naho i Mesake naho i Abednegò, vaho hamokovoko iareo amy toñake milebalebay ao.
And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Rinohy reketse saroñe naho sikiñe naho sabaka naho ze lamba ila’e am’ ondaty rey vaho nafe­tsak’ an-teñateña’ i toñake misolebatsey ao.
Then these men were bound in their coats, their upper garments, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Aa kanao am-bodongero’e ty nandilia’ i mpanjakay, ie niloho mae i toñakey, le navetran-del’afo ondaty nandrambe i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegòo.
Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 Aa le nihotrak’ an-drohy an-toñake nibebañ’ ao indaty telo rey: i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Nilatsa t’i Nebo­kad­netsare, mpanjaka, le niongak’ amy zao nisaontsy amo mpanolo-keve’eo ty hoe: Tsy telo hao t’indaty nafetsan-tika an-drohy amo afoo? Hoe ty natoi’ iareo amy mpanjakay; Eka ‘nio, ry mpanjaka.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spoke, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
25 Hoe ty natoi’e: Heheke, mahatrea ondaty efatse midada ao raho, songa midraidraitse amy afoy ao, tsy ama’e ty mianto, vaho manahake t’i Anak’ Andrianañahare ty vinta’ o fahefatseo.
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
26 Nitotok’ am-bava’ i toñake misolebatsey t’i Nebokadnetsare, nanao ty hoe: o ry Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò, ry mpitoron’ Añahare Andindimoneñeo, miakara mb’etoy. Aa le nienga boak’ an-teñateña’ i afoy t’i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò.
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spoke, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, all of you servants of the most high God, come forth, and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came out of the midst of the fire.
27 Le nihimpoke eo o beio naho o sorotà’eo naho o fiaoloo, o mpizakao, o mpitàm-bolao, o kominteo, o prejidào vaho o mpifehe faritaneo hisamba ondaty tsy nanaña’ i afoy lilio, leo raik’ amo maròy añambone’ iareoo tsy nimae, tsy niova ka o sarimbo’ iereoo, vaho tsy nipitek’ am’ iereo ty imbon’ afo.
And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
28 Le hoe ty saontsi’ i Nebokadnetsare: Andriañeñe t’i Andrianañahare’ i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò, ie nañirake i anjeli’ey hañaha o mpitoro’e mpiato ama’eo mbore nifotetse amy saontsim-panjakay, namoe ay tsy hitoroñe ndra hitalaho ami’ty ndrahare ila’e naho tsy t’i Andrianañahare’ iareo avao.
Then Nebuchadnezzar spoke, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
29 Aa le mitsey raho, te ho fonga tseratseraheñe ze mitera­tera an’ Andrianañahare’ i Sadrake naho i Mesake naho i Abednegò, vaho hatao vongan-deotse ty akiba’e, amy te tsy eo ty drahare ila’e mahahaha manahake zao.
Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
30 Aa le nonjone’ i mpanjakay am-paritane’ i Bavele t’i Sadrake naho i Mesake vaho i Abednegò.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
