Ekaanta Muuqaalka Dabka Iyo Ololka Foornada

Boqor Nebukadnesar wuxuu sameeyey ekaan dahab ah, oo jooggeedu lixdan dhudhun yahay, ballaadhkeeduna lix dhudhun yahay, oo wuxuu qotomiyey bannaankii Duuraa oo ku yaal gobolka Baabuloon. Markaasaa Boqor Nebukadnesar wuxuu cid u diray amiirradii, iyo taliyayaashii, iyo saraakiishii, iyo xaakinnadii, iyo khasnajiyadii, iyo waaniyayaashii, iyo madaxdii boliiska, iyo kuwii gobollada xukumay oo dhan, inay u yimaadaan furitaanka ekaanta uu Boqor Nebukadnesar qotomiyey. Markaasaa amiirradii, iyo taliyayaashii, iyo saraakiishii, iyo xaakinnadii, iyo khasnajiyadii, iyo waaniyayaashii, iyo madaxdii boliiska, iyo kuwii gobollada xukumi jiray oo dhammu u wada yimaadeen furitaankii ekaantii Boqor Nebukadnesar qotomiyey, oo waxay hor istaageen ekaantii uu Nebukadnesar qotomiyey. Markaasaa naadiye aad u dhawaaqay, oo yidhi, Dadyowga, iyo quruumaha, iyo kuwa kala afka ahow, waxaa laydinku amray, in markii aad maqashaan codka buunka, iyo biibiilaha, iyo kataaradda, iyo shareeradda, iyo kiraarka, iyo cayn kasta oo muusiko ah, aad hoos u dhacdaan oo u sujuuddaan ekaanta dahabka ah oo Boqor Nebukadnesar qotomiyey, oo mid kasta oo aan hoos u dhicin oo aan u sujuudin, isla saacaddiiba waxaa lagu dhex tuuri doonaa foorno dab ah oo ololaysa. Haddaba markii dadkii oo dhammu maqleen codkii buunka, iyo biibiilaha, iyo kataaradda, iyo shareeradda, iyo kiraarka, iyo cayn kasta oo muusiko ah ayaa dadyowgii, iyo quruumihii, iyo kuwii kala afka ahaa oo dhammu hoos u dhaceen oo u sujuudeen ekaantii dahabka ahayd oo Boqor Nebukadnesar qotomiyey. Haddaba wakhtigaas kuwo reer Kaldayiin ah ayaa soo dhowaaday oo Yuhuuddii dacweeyey. Oo intay u jawaabeen bay ku yidhaahdeen Boqor Nebukadnesar, Boqorow, weligaaba noolow. 10 Boqorow, amar baad ku bixisay in nin kastaaba markuu maqlo codka buunka, iyo biibiilaha, iyo kataaradda, iyo shareeradda, iyo kiraarka, iyo cayn kasta oo muusiko ah, uu hoos u dhaco oo u sujuudo ekaanta dahabka ah, 11 iyo in mid kasta oo aan hoos u dhicin oo aan u sujuudin, lagu dhex tuuri doono foorno dab ah oo ololaysa. 12 Waxaa jira kuwo Yuhuud ah oo aad u dooratay inay axwaalkii gobolkii Baabuloon u taliyaan, waana Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoo; haddaba, Boqorow, nimankaasu dan kaama ay lahayn; iyagu uma adeegaan ilaahyadaada, umana sujuudaan ekaanta dahabka ah oo aad qotomisay. 13 Markaasaa Nebukadnesar intuu dhirfay oo aad u cadhooday ayuu amray in la keeno Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoo. Markaasay nimankan soo hor taageen boqorkii. 14 Nebukadnesarna wuu u jawaabay oo ku yidhi iyagii, Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoow, Ma kas baad u yeesheen inaydnaan u adeegin ilaahayga ama aydnaan u sujuudin ekaantayda dahabka ah oo aan qotomiyey? 15 Haddaba haddaad diyaar tihiin in wakhtigii aad maqashaan codka buunka, iyo biibiilaha, iyo kataaradda, iyo shareeradda, iyo kiraarka, iyo cayn kasta oo muusiko ah, aad hoos u dhacdaan oo aad u sujuuddaan ekaanta aan sameeyey, hagaag, laakiinse haddaad u sujuudi weydaan, waxaa isla saacaddiiba laydinku dhex tuuri doonaa foorno dab ah oo ololaysa. Kolkaas waa ayo Ilaaha gacantayda idinka badbaadin doonaa? 16 Markaasaa Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoo u jawaabeen boqorkii, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Nebukadnesarow, annagu uma baahnin inaannu kaaga jawaabno xaalkan. 17 Haddaba hadday saas tahay, Ilaahayaga aannu u adeegnaa waa awoodaa inuu naga samatabbixiyo foornada dabka ah oo ololaysa; oo isagu waa naga samatabbixin doonaa gacantaada, Boqorow. 18 Laakiinse haddaanay ahayn, Boqorow, haddaba ogow, inaannan u adeegayn ilaahyadaada, ama aannan u sujuudayn ekaanta dahabka ah oo aad qotomisay. 19 Markaasaa Nebukadnesar aad ugu cadhooday Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoo, wejigiisiina waa beddelmay; kolkaasuu hadlay oo wuxuu ku amray in foornada laga sii kululeeyo toddoba jeer intii hore loo kululayn jiray. 20 Oo wuxuu ku amray niman xoog badan oo ciidankiisa ku jiray inay xidhxidhaan Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoo, oo ay ku dhex tuuraan foornada dabka ah oo ololaysa. 21 Markaasaa nimankii la xidhxidhay iyagoo qaba sirwaalladoodii, iyo khamiisyadoodii, iyo go'yaashoodii, iyo dharkoodii kaleba, oo waxaa lagu dhex tuuray foornadii dabka ahayd oo ololaysay. 22 Boqorka amarkiisu wuxuu ahaa degdeg, foornaduna aad iyo aad bay u kululayd, sidaas daraaddeed ololkii dabku wuxuu dilay nimankii waday Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoo. 23 Saddexdii nin ee ahaa Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoona waxay iyagoo xidhxidhan ku dhex dheceen foornadii dabka ahayd oo ololaysay. 24 Markaasaa Boqor Nebukadnesar yaabay, oo haddiiba kacay; oo intuu hadlay ayuu ku yidhi waaniyayaashiisii, Miyaynan saddex nin oo xidhxidhan dabka ku dhex ridin? Markaasay u jawaabeen oo waxay boqorkii ku yidhaahdeen, Taasu waa run, Boqorow. 25 Kolkaasuu jawaabay oo yidhi, Bal eega, waxaan arkaa afar nin oo furan, oo dabka ku dhex socda, ee aan waxyeello gaadhin; oo midka afraad soojeedkiisu wuxuu u eg yahay mid ka mid ah wiilasha ilaahyada. 26 Markaasaa Nebukadnesar wuxuu ag yimid foornadii dabka ahayd oo ololaysay afkeedii, oo intuu hadlay buu yidhi, Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoow, Ilaaha ugu Sarreeya addoommadiisow, soo baxa, oo halkan kaalaya. Markaasaa Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoo dabkii ka soo dhex bexeen. 27 Markaasaa amiirradii, iyo taliyayaashii, iyo saraakiishii, iyo boqorka waaniyayaashiisii, iyagoo isku urursan, waxay arkeen inaanu dabku ka adkaan nimankaas jidhkooda, ama aanu timahoodiina halow marin, ama aan sirwaalladoodii beddelmin, ama aan dadka urtiisii gaadhin. 28 Markaasaa Nebukadnesar hadlay oo wuxuu yidhi, Mahad waxaa leh Ilaaha Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoo, oo u soo diray malaa'igtiisa, oo badbaadiyey addoommadiisa isaga isku halleeyey, oo beddelay hadalkii boqorka, oo jidhkooda bixiyey, inayan u adeegin, ama u sujuudin ilaah kale Ilaahooda mooyaane. 29 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan amar ku bixinayaa in dad kasta, iyo quruun kasta, iyo kuwa kasta oo kala af ah, oo wax xun kaga hadla Ilaaha Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoo, la googooyn doono, guryahoodana laga dhigi doono meel digo lagu tuulo, maxaa yeelay, ma jiro ilaah kale oo sidaas wax u badbaadin karaa. 30 Markaasaa boqorkii Shadrag, iyo Meeshag, iyo Cabeednegoo derejo sare ku siiyey gobolkii Baabuloon.

The Image of Gold and the Blazing Furnace

King Nebuchadnezzar made an image(A) of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide,[a] and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. He then summoned the satraps,(B) prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials(C) to come to the dedication of the image he had set up. So the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials assembled for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up, and they stood before it.

Then the herald loudly proclaimed, “Nations and peoples of every language,(D) this is what you are commanded to do: As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp,(E) pipe and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the image(F) of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.(G) Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.”(H)

Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all kinds of music, all the nations and peoples of every language fell down and worshiped the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.(I)

At this time some astrologers[b](J) came forward and denounced the Jews. They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “May the king live forever!(K) 10 Your Majesty has issued a decree(L) that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the image of gold,(M) 11 and that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace. 12 But there are some Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego(N)—who pay no attention(O) to you, Your Majesty. They neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.”(P)

13 Furious(Q) with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king, 14 and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods(R) or worship the image(S) of gold I have set up? 15 Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god(T) will be able to rescue(U) you from my hand?”

16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego(V) replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver(W) us from it, and he will deliver(X) us[c] from Your Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.(Y)

19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven(Z) times hotter than usual 20 and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego(AA) and throw them into the blazing furnace. 21 So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. 22 The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego,(AB) 23 and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace.

24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?”

They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.”

25 He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”

26 Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God,(AC) come out! Come here!”

So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, 27 and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers(AD) crowded around them.(AE) They saw that the fire(AF) had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel(AG) and rescued(AH) his servants! They trusted(AI) in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.(AJ) 29 Therefore I decree(AK) that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses be turned into piles of rubble,(AL) for no other god can save(AM) in this way.”

30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon.(AN)

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.

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.

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.

Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,

That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:

And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.

They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.

10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:

11 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

12 There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.

14 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?

15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye 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 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

17 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 thine hand, O king.

18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.

20 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 Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

22 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 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, 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 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 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.

27 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 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath 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 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 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
