1[Ny nanipazana an'i Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego tao anatin'ny lafaoro nisy afo mirehitra] Nebokadnezara mpanjaka nanao sariolona volamena, enim-polo hakiho ny hahavony, ary enina hakiho ny sakany; dia natsangany teo amin'ny tany lemaka Dora tamin'ny fehin'i Babylona izany.
1Nebuchadnezzar the king hath made an image of gold, its height sixty cubits, its breadth six cubits; he hath raised it up in the valley of Dura, in the province of Babylon;
2Ary Nebokadnezara mpanjaka naniraka nampamory ny solom-panjaka sy ny mpanapaka sy ny governora sy ny andriambaventy sy ny mpitahiry ny volam-panjakana sy ny mpahay lalàna sy ny mpitsara ary ny komandy isan-tokony mba hanamasina ilay sariolona efa natsangan'i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka.
2and Nebuchadnezzar the king hath sent to gather the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the honourable judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the province, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up.
3Dia nivory hanamasina ny sariolona izay efa natsangan'i Nebokadnezara mpanjakan'ny solom-panjaka sy ny mpanapaka sy ny governora sy ny andriambaventy sy ny mpitahiry ny volam-panjakana sy ny mpahay lalàna sy ny mpitsara ary ny komandy isan-tokony, ka dia nitsangana tandrifin'ny sariolona izay efa natsangan'i Nebokadnezara ireo.
3Then are gathered the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the honourable judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the province, to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up: and they are standing before the image that Nebuchadnezzar hath raised up.
4Ary dia nisy mpikabary niantso mafy hoe: Izao no lazaina aminareo, ry fokom-pirenena, ry firenena sy samy hafa fiteny:
4And a crier is calling mightily: `To you they are saying: O peoples, nations, and languages!
5Rehefa mandre ny fanenon'ny anjomara sy ny sobaba sy ny lokanga sy ny samboka sy ny valiha sy ny symponia ary ny zava-maneno isan-karazany ianareo, dia miankohofa, ka mivavaha amin'ny sariolona volamena izay efa natsangan'i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka,
5at the time that ye hear the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, the symphony, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and do obeisance to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up:
6ary na iza na iza no tsy miankohoka sy tsy mivavaka dia hatsipy miaraka amin'izay ho ao anatin'ny lafaoro misy afo mirehitra.
6and whoso doth not fall down and do obeisance, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.`
7Koa tamin'ny fotoana nandrenesan'ny fokom-pirenena rehetra ny fanenon'ny anjomara sy ny sobaba sy ny lokanga sy ny samboka sy ny valiha ary ny zava-maneno isan-karazany, dia niankohoka sy nivavaka tamin'ny sariolona volamena izay efa natsangan'i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena ary ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra.
7Therefore at that time, when all the peoples are hearing the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and all kinds of music, falling down are all the peoples, nations and languages, doing obeisance to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up.
8Ary tamin'izay dia nisy Kaldeana sasany nanatona ka niampanga ny Jiosy.[Ar. nihinana ny nofon']
8Therefore at that time drawn near have certain Chaldeans, and accused the Jews;
9Dia niteny izy ka nanao tamin'i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka hoe: Ry mpanjaka ô, ho velona mandrakizay anie ianao.
9they have answered, yea, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, `O king, to the ages live!
10Ry mpanjaka ô, ianao efa nanao lalàna fa ny olona rehetra izay mandre ny fanenon'ny anjomara sy ny sobaba sy ny lokanga sy ny samboka sy ny valiha sy ny symponia ary ny zava-maneno isan-karazany dia hiankohoka hivavaka amin'ny sariolona volamena;
10Thou, O king, hast made a decree that every man who doth hear the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, doth fall down and do obeisance to the golden image;
11fa izay tsy miankohoka sy tsy mivavaka kosa dia hatsipy ao anatin'ny lafaoro misy afo mirehitra.
11and whoso doth not fall down and do obeisance, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12Koa misy Jiosy izay nataonao ho tonian'ny raharaha amin'i Babylona sy ny fehiny, dia Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego; ireo lehilahy ireo tsy mba manaiky ny teninao akory, ry mpanjaka ô: tsy mba manompo ny andriamanitrao izy, na mivavaka amin'ny sariolona volamena izay efa natsanganao.
12There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the work of the province of Babylon — Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, these men have not made of thee, O king, [any] regard; thy gods they are not serving, and to the golden image thou hast raised up — are not making obeisance.`
13Dia niteny tamin'ny fahavinirana sy ny fahatezerana Nebokadnezara, ka nasainy nalaina Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego. Dia nentiny teo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka ireo lehilahy ireo.
13Then Nebuchadnezzar, in anger and fury, hath said to bring in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Then these men have been brought in before the king.
14Dia niteny Nebokadnezara ka nanao taminy hoe: Moa fanahy ninianareo va, ry Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego, no tsy mba anompoanareo ny andriamanitro, na ivavahanareo amin'ny sariolona volamena izay natsangako?
14Nebuchadnezzar hath answered and said to them, `Is [it] a laid plan, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego — my gods ye are not serving, and to the golden image that I have raised up ye are not doing obeisance?
15Ankehitriny raha miomana ianareo amin'izay handrenesanareo ny fanenon'ny anjomara sy ny samboka sy ny valiha sy ny symponia sy ny Sobaba sy ny lokanga ary ny zava-maneno isan-karazany ka miankohoka sy mivavaka amin'ny sariolona izay nataoko, dia tsara izany; fa raha tsy mety mivavaka kosa ianareo, dia hatsipy miaraka amin'izay ho ao anatin'ny lafaoro misy afo mirehitra; ary iza moa izany Andriamanitra hahavonjy anareo amin'ny tanako izany?
15Now, lo, ye are ready, so that at the time that ye hear the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and do obeisance to the image that I have made! — and lo, ye do no obeisance — in that hour ye are cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; who is that God who doth deliver you out of my hands?`
16Dia namaly Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego ka nanao tamin'ny mpanjaka hoe: Ry Nebokadnezara, tsy misy antony tokony hamalianay anao akory ny amin'izany zavatra izany.
16Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego have answered, yea, they are saying to the king Nebuchadnezzar, `We have no need concerning this matter to answer thee.
17Indro, Andriamanitra Izay tompoinay dia mahavonjy anay amin'ny lafaoro misy afo mirehitra sady hamonjy anay amin'ny tananao, ry mpanjaka ô.
17Lo, it is; our God whom we are serving, is able to deliver us from a burning fiery furnace; and from thy hand, O king, He doth deliver.
18Ary na dia tsy izany aza, aoka ho fantatrao, ry mpanjaka ô, fa ny andriamanitrao dia tsy hotompoinay, ary ny sariolona volamena efa natsanganao dia tsy hivavahanay.
18And lo — not! be it known to thee, O king, that thy gods we are not serving, and to the golden image thou hast raised up we do no obeisance.`
19Dia feno fahatezerana Nebokadnezara, ka niova ny tarehiny tamin'i Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego, dia nasainy nafanaina ho impito mihoatra noho ny famana azy ny lafaoro.
19Then Nebuchadnezzar hath been full of fury, and the expression of his face hath 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;
20Ary izay lehilahy matanjaka indrindra tamin'ny miaramilany no nasainy namatotra an'i Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego sy nanipy azy tao anatin'ny lafaoro nisy afo mirehitra.
20and to certain mighty men who [are] in his force he hath said to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to cast into the burning fiery furnace.
21Dia nafatotra ireo lehilahy ireo, nefa mbola teny aminy ihany ny lobany sy ny akanjony ary ny kapitiny mbamin'ny fitafiany hafa koa, ka dia natsipy teo anatin'ny lafaoro nisy afo mirehitra izy;
21Then 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.
22ary satria mafy ny tenin'ny mpanjaka, ka natao mahamay indrindra ny lafaoro, dia matin'ny lelafo ireny lehilahy izay nanipy an'i Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego.[Ar. nampiakatra]
22Therefore, 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 — killed them hath the spark of the fire.
23Ary izy telo lahy ireo, Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego, dia voatsipy am-patorana teo anatin'ny lafaoro nisy afo mirehitra.
23And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace — bound.
24Dia talanjona Nebokadnezara mpanjaka ary nitsangana faingana izy ka niteny tamin'ny mpanolo- tsainy hoe: Moa tsy telo lahy mifatotra va no natsipintsika tao anatin'ny afo? Dia namaly ny mpanjaka ireo ka nanao hoe: Marina izany, ry mpanjaka ô.
24Then Nebuchadnezzar the king hath been astonished, and hath risen in haste; he hath answered and said to his counsellors, `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.`
25Ary hoy izy: Ka no indro aho mahita efa-dahy tsy mifatotra, mandehandeha eo anaty afo, nefa tsy maninona tsy maninona akory izy; ary ny fijery ilay fahefatra dia toa zanak'ireo andriamanitra.
25He answered and hath said, `Lo, 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.`
26Dia nanatona ny varavaran'ny lafaoro nisy afo mirehitra Nebokadnezara ka niantso hoe: Ry Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego, mpanompon'Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra, mivoaha, ka avia atỳ. Dia nivoaka avy teo anatin'ny afo Sadraka sy Mesaka ary Abednego.
26Then Nebuchadnezzar hath drawn near to the gate of the burning fiery furnace; he hath answered and said, `Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of God Most High come forth, yea, come;` then come forth do Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, from the midst of the fire;
27Dia nifanatona ny solo-mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka sy ny governora ary ny mpanolotsain'ny mpanjaka ka nahita ireo lehilahy ireo, fa tsy nanan-kery hampaninona ny tenany akory ny afo, na nisy singam-bolo nikainkona tamin'ny lohany, na niova ny lobany, ary tsy nisy fofon'afo akory taminy.
27and gathered together, the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the counsellors of the king, are seeing these men, that the fire hath no power over their bodies, and the hair of their head hath not been singed, and their coats have not changed, and the smell of fire hath not passed on them.
28Nebokadnezara niteny ka nanao hoe: Isaorana anie Andriamanitr'i Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego, Izay naniraka ny anjeliny hamonjy ny mpanompony izay natoky Azy ka nandika ny tenin'ny mpanjaka ary nanolotra ny tenany tsy hanompo na hivavaka amin'izay andriamani-kafa, afa-tsy Andriamaniny ihany.
28Nebuchadnezzar hath answered and hath said, `Blessed [is] the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who hath sent His messenger, and hath 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 do obeisance to any god except to their own God.
29Ka dia manao lalàna aho fa ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena sy ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra izay manao teny tsy mety ny amin'Andriamanitr'i Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego dia hotetitetehina, ary hatao trano fivoahana ny tranony; fa tsy misy andriamani-kafa mahavonjy tahaka izao.
29And by me a decree is made, that any people, nation, and language, that doth speak erroneously concerning the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, pieces he is made, and its house is made a dunghill, because that there is no other god who is able thus to deliver.`
30Ary Sadraka sy Mesaka sy Abednego dia nasandratry ny mpanjaka tamin'i Babylona sy ny fehiny.
30Then the king hath caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon.
31[Ny nofy nananaran'Andriamanitra an'i Nebokadnezara, sy ny nahatanterahan'izany nofy izany] Nebokadnezara mpanjaka nampitondra teny ho any amin'ny fokom-pirenena sy ny firenena ary ny samy hafa fiteny rehetra, izay monina amin'ny tany rehetra, nanao hoe: Hitombo anie ny fiadananareo.
32Sitrako ny hanambara ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana izay nataon'Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra tamiko.Akory ny halehiben'ny famantarany! Ny fanjakany dia fanjakana mandrakizay, ary ny fanapahany dia hahatratra ny taranaka fara mandimby.
33Akory ny halehiben'ny famantarany! Ny fanjakany dia fanjakana mandrakizay, ary ny fanapahany dia hahatratra ny taranaka fara mandimby.
