King Nebuchadnezzar made a statue of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and he set it up in the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. |
| 3:2 |
Then king Nebuchadnezzar sent to gather together the governors, magistrates and judges, generals and sovereigns and commanders, and all the leaders of the regions, to come together for the dedication of the statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar had raised. |
| 3:3 |
Then the governors, magistrates and judges, generals and sovereigns and nobles, who were appointed to power, and all the leaders of the regions were brought together so as to convene for the dedication of the statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar had raised. And so they stood before the statue that king Nebuchadnezzar had set up. |
| 3:4 |
And a herald proclaimed loudly, “To you it is said, to you peoples, foko, and languages, |
| 3:5 |
that in the hour when you will hear the sound of the trumpet and the pipe and the lute, the harp and the psaltery, ary ny symphony sy ny karazana mozika rehetra, you must fall down and adore the gold statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar has set up. |
| 3:6 |
But if anyone will not bow down and adore, in the same hour he will be cast into a furnace of burning fire.” |
| 3:7 |
Taorian'ity, Ary noho izany, as soon as all the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the pipe and the lute, the harp and the psaltery, ary ny symphony sy ny karazana mozika rehetra, all the peoples, foko, and languages fell down and adored the gold statue, which king Nebuchadnezzar had set up. |
| 3:8 |
And soon, about the same time, some influential Chaldeans came and accused the Jews, |
| 3:9 |
and they said to king Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, live forever. |
| 3:10 |
ianao, Ry mpanjaka ô, have established a decree, so that every man who might hear the sound of the trumpet, the pipe and the lute, the harp and the psaltery, ary ny symphony sy ny karazana mozika rehetra, will prostrate himself and adore the gold statue. |
| 3:11 |
But if any man will not fall down and adore, he would be cast into a furnace of burning fire. |
| 3:12 |
Yet there are influential Jews, whom you have appointed over the works of the region of Babylon, Sadraka, Mesaka, ary Abednego. These men, Ry mpanjaka ô, have scorned your decree. They do not worship your gods, and they do not adore the gold statue which you have raised up.” |
| 3:13 |
Avy eo i Nebokadnezara, in fury and in wrath, commanded that Shadrach, Mesaka, and Abednego should be brought, ary noho izany, tsy misy hatak'andro, they were brought before the king. |
| 3:14 |
Ary Nebokadnezara mpanjaka niteny taminy ka nanao hoe, “Marina ve izany, Sadraka, Mesaka, ary Abednego, mba tsy hanompoanareo ny andriamanitro, na mitsaoka ny sarivongana volamena, izay efa najoroko? |
| 3:15 |
Ary noho izany, raha miomana izao ianao, isaky ny mandre ny feon'ny anjomara ianareo, sodina, valiha, lokanga sy valiha, ary ny symphony sy ny karazana mozika rehetra, miankohofa sy mitsaoka ny sarivongana izay nataoko. Fa raha tsy tia anao, amin'izany ora izany dia hatsipy any amin'ny memy mirehitra afo mirehitra ianareo. Ary iza no Andriamanitra hanafaka anareo amin'ny tanako??” |
| 3:16 |
Sadraka, Mesaka, ary Abednego namaly ka nanao tamin'i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka, “Tsy mety raha mankatò anao amin’izany raharaha izany izahay. |
| 3:17 |
Fa indro Andriamanitsika, izay ivavahantsika, dia mahavonjy anay amin'ny fatana mirehitra sy manafaka anay amin'ny tananao, Ry mpanjaka ô. |
| 3:18 |
Fa na dia tsy hanao izany aza izy, aoka ho fantatrao, Ry mpanjaka ô, fa tsy hiankohoka eo anatrehan'ny andriamanitrao izahay, na mitsaoka ny sarivongana volamena, izay natsanganao”. |
| 3:19 |
Dia feno fahatezerana Nebokadnezara, ary niova ny tarehiny tamin'i Sadraka, Mesaka, ary Abednego, ary nasainy nafanaina ho avo fito heny noho ny mahazatra ny lafaoro. |
| 3:20 |
Ary nasainy namatotra ny tongotr'i Sadraka ny lehilahy mahery indrindra tamin'ny miaramilany, Mesaka, ary Abednego, ary hanipy azy ao amin'ny memy mirehitra afo mirehitra. |
| 3:91 |
Dia talanjona i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka, dia nitsangana faingana izy ka niteny tamin'ny lehibeny: “Tsy telo lahy mifatotra va no natsipintsika tao anaty afo??” Namaly ny mpanjaka, hoy izy ireo, "Marina, Ry mpanjaka ô. |
| 3:92 |
Dia namaly izy ka nanao hoe, “Indro, Hitako efa-dahy tsy mifatotra sady mandehandeha eo afovoan’ny afo, ary tsy misy loza aminy, ary ny tarehin’ny fahefatra dia tahaka ny Zanak’Andriamanitra”. |
| 3:95 |
Avy eo i Nebokadnezara, mipoaka, nanao hoe:, “Isaorana anie ny Andriamaniny, Andriamanitr’i Sadraka, Mesaka, ary Abednego, izay naniraka ny anjeliny ka namonjy ny mpanompony izay nino Azy. Ary novany ny didin'ny mpanjaka, ary natolony ny vatany, mba tsy hanompoany na hanompo andriamani-kafa afa-tsy Andriamaniny ihany. |
