Nabuchodonosor rex fecit statuam auream altitudine cubitorum sexaginta latitudine cubitorum sex et statuit eam in campo Duram provinciae Babylonis
King Nabuchodonosor made a statue of gold, of sixty cubits high, and six cubits broad, and he set it up in the plain of Dura, of the province of Babylon.
|
| 2 |
itaque Nabuchodonosor rex misit ad congregandos satrapas magistratus et iudices duces et tyrannos et praefectos omnesque principes regionum ut convenirent ad dedicationem statuae quam erexerat Nabuchodonosor rex
Then Nabuchodonosor, the king, sent to call together the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, the rulers, and governors, and all the chief men of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
|
| 3 |
tunc congregati sunt satrapae magistratus et iudices duces et tyranni et optimates qui erant in potestatibus constituti et universi principes regionum ut convenirent ad dedicationem statuae quam erexerat Nabuchodonosor rex stabant autem in conspectu statuae quam posuerat Nabuchodonosor
Then the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, and rulers, and the great men that were placed in authority, and all the princes of the provinces, were gathered together to come to the dedication of the statue, which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. And they stood before the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
|
| 4 |
et praeco clamabat valenter vobis dicitur populis tribubus et linguis
Then a herald cried with a strong voice: To you it is commanded, O nations, tribes and languages:
|
| 5 |
in hora qua audieritis sonitum tubae et fistulae et citharae sambucae et psalterii et symphoniae et universi generis musicorum cadentes adorate statuam auream quam constituit Nabuchodonosor rex
That in the hour that you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and of the flute, and of the harp, of the sackbut, and of the psaltery, and of the symphony, and of all kind of music, ye fall down and adore the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor hath set up.
|
| 6 |
si quis autem non prostratus adoraverit eadem hora mittetur in fornacem ignis ardentis
But if any man shall not fall down and adore, he shall the same hour be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
|
| 7 |
post haec igitur statim ut audierunt omnes populi sonitum tubae fistulae et citharae sambucae et psalterii et symphoniae et omnis generis musicorum cadentes omnes populi et tribus et linguae adoraverunt statuam auream quam constituerat Nabuchodonosor rex
Upon this, therefore, at the time when all the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music, all the nations, tribes, and languages fell down and adored the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
|
| 8 |
statimque et in ipso tempore accedentes viri chaldei accusaverunt Iudaeos
And presently at that very time some Chaldeans came and accused the Jews,
|
| 9 |
dixeruntque Nabuchodonosor regi rex in aeternum vive
And said to king Nabuchodonosor: O king, live for ever:
|
| 10 |
tu rex posuisti decretum ut omnis homo qui audierit sonitum tubae fistulae et citharae sambucae et psalterii et symphoniae et universi generis musicorum prosternat se et adoret statuam auream
Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music, shall prostrate himself, and adore the golden statue:
|
| 11 |
si quis autem non procidens adoraverit mittatur in fornacem ignis ardentem
And that if any man shall not fall down and adore, he should be cast into a furnace of burning fire.
|
| 12 |
sunt ergo viri iudaei quos constituisti super opera regionis Babyloniae Sedrac Misac et Abdenago viri isti contempserunt rex decretum tuum deos tuos non colunt et statuam auream quam erexisti non adorant
Now there are certain Jews, whom thou hast set over the works of the province of Babylon, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago: these men, O king, have slighted thy decree: they worship not thy gods, nor do they adore the golden statue which thou hast set up.
|
| 13 |
tunc Nabuchodonosor in furore et in ira praecepit ut adducerentur Sedrac Misac et Abdenago qui confestim adducti sunt in conspectu regis
Then Nabuchodonosor in fury, and in wrath, commanded that Sidrach, Misach, ad Abdenago should be brought: who immediately were brought before the king.
|
| 14 |
pronuntiansque Nabuchodonosor rex ait eis verene Sedrac Misac et Abdenago deos meos non colitis et statuam auream quam constitui non adoratis
And Nabuchodonosor, the king, spoke to them, and said: Is it true, O Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the golden statue that I have set up?
|
| 15 |
nunc ergo si estis parati quacumque hora audieritis sonitum tubae fistulae et citharae sambucae psalterii et symphoniae omnisque generis musicorum prosternite vos et adorate statuam quam feci quod si non adoraveritis eadem hora mittemini in fornacem ignis ardentem et quis est Deus qui eripiat vos de manu mea
Now, therefore, if you be ready, at what hour soever, you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, flute, harp, sackbut, and psaltery, and symphony, and of all kind of music, prostrate yourselves, and adore the statue which I have made: but if you do not adore, you shall be cast the same hour into the furnace of burning fire: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand?
|
| 16 |
respondentes Sedrac Misac et Abdenago dixerunt regi Nabuchodonosor non oportet nos de hac re respondere tibi
Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, answered, and said to king Nabuchodonosor: We have no occasion to answer thee concerning this matter.
|
| 17 |
ecce enim Deus noster quem colimus potest eripere nos de camino ignis ardentis et de manibus tuis rex liberare
For behold our God, whom we worship, is able to save us from the furnace of burning fire, and to deliver us out of thy hands, O king.
|
| 18 |
quod si noluerit notum tibi sit rex quia deos tuos non colimus et statuam auream quam erexisti non adoramus
But if he will not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not worship thy gods, nor adore the golden statue which thou hast set up.
|
| 19 |
tunc Nabuchodonosor repletus est furore et aspectus faciei illius inmutatus est super Sedrac Misac et Abdenago et praecepit ut succenderetur fornax septuplum quam succendi consuerat
Then was Nabuchodonosor filled with fury: and the countenance of his face was changed against Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it had been accustomed to be heated.
|
| 20 |
et viris fortissimis de exercitu suo iussit ut ligatis pedibus Sedrac Misac et Abdenago mitterent eos in fornacem ignis ardentem
And he commanded the strongest men that were in his army, to bind the feet of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire.
|
| 21 |
et confestim viri illi vincti cum bracis suis et tiaris et calciamentis et vestibus missi sunt in medium fornacis ignis ardentis
And immediately these men were bound, and were cast into the furnace of burning fire, with their coats, and their caps, and their shoes, and their garments.
|
| 22 |
nam iussio regis urguebat fornax autem succensa erat nimis porro viros illos qui miserant Sedrac Misac et Abdenago interfecit flamma ignis
For the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace was heated exceedingly. And the flame of the fire slew those men that had cast in Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago.
|
| 23 |
viri autem hii id est tres Sedrac Misac et Abdenago ceciderunt in medio camini ignis ardentis conligati
But these three men, that is, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell down bound in the midst of the furnace of burning fire.
|
| 24 |
Et ambulabant in medio flammae laudantes Deum, et benedicentes Domino.
And they walked in the midst of the flame, praising God, and blessing the Lord.
|
| 25 |
Stans autem Azarias oravit sic, aperiensque os suum in medio ignis, ait:
Then Azarias standing up, prayed in this manner, and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire, he said:
|
| 26 |
Benedictus es Domine Deus patrum nostrorum, et laudabile, et gloriosum nomen tuum in saecula:
Blessed art thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers, and thy name is worthy of praise, and glorious for ever:
|
| 27 |
quia iustus es in omnibus, quae fecisti nobis, et universa opera tua vera, et viae tuae rectae, et omnia iudicia tua vera.
For thou art just in all that thou hast done to us, and all thy works are true, and thy ways right, and all thy judgments true.
|
| 28 |
Iudicia enim vera fecisti iuxta omnia, quae induxisti super nos, et super civitatem sanctam patrum nostrorum Ierusalem: quia in veritate, et in iudicio induxisti omnia haec propter peccata nostra.
For thou hast executed true judgments in all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon Jerusalem, the holy city of our fathers: for according to truth and judgment, thou hast brought all these things upon us for our sins.
|
| 29 |
Peccavimus enim, et inique egimus recedentes a te: et deliquimus in omnibus:
For we have sinned, and committed iniquity, departing from thee: and we have trespassed in all things:
|
| 30 |
et praecepta tua non audivimus, nec observavimus, nec fecimus sicut praeceperas nobis ut bene nobis esset.
And we have not hearkened to thy commandments, nor have we observed nor done as thou hadst commanded us, that it might go well with us.
|
| 31 |
omnia ergo, quae induxisti super nos, et universa, quae fecisti nobis, in vero iudicio fecisti:
Wherefore, all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment:
|
| 32 |
et tradidisti nos in manibus inimicorum nostrorum iniquorum, et pessimorum, praevaricatorumque et regi iniusto, et pessimo ultra omnem terram.
And thou hast delivered us into the hands of our enemies that are unjust, and most wicked, and prevaricators, and to a king unjust, and most wicked beyond all that are upon the earth.
|
| 33 |
Et nunc non possumus aperire os: confusio, et opprobrium facti sumus servis tuis, et his, qui colunt te.
And now we cannot open our mouths: we are become a shame, and a reproach to thy servants, and to them that worship thee.
|
| 34 |
Ne, quaesumus, tradas nos in perpetuum propter nomen tuum, et ne dissipes testamentum tuum.
Deliver us not up for ever, we beseech thee, for thy name's sake, and abolish not thy covenant.
|
| 35 |
neque auferas misericordiam tuam a nobis propter Abraham dilectum tuum, et Isaac servum tuum, et Israel sanctum tuum:
And take not away thy mercy from us, for the sake of Abraham, thy beloved, and Isaac, thy servant, and Israel, thy holy one:
|
| 36 |
quibus locutus es pollicens quod multiplicares semen eorum sicut stellas caeli, et sicut arenam, quae est in littore maris:
To whom thou hast spoken, promising that thou wouldst multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea shore.
|
| 37 |
quia Domine imminuti sumus plus quam omnes gentes, sumusque humiles in universa terra hodie propter peccata nostra.
For we, O Lord, are diminished more than any nation, and are brought low in all the earth this day for our sins.
|
| 38 |
Et non est in tempore hoc princeps, et dux, et propheta, neque holocaustum, neque sacrificium, neque oblatio, neque incensum, neque locus primitiarum coram te,
Neither is there at this time prince, or leader, or prophet, or holocaust, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place of first fruits before thee,
|
| 39 |
ut possimus invenire misericordiam tuam: sed in animo contrito, et spiritu humilitatis suscipiamur.
That we may find thy mercy: nevertheless, in a contrite heart and humble spirit let us be accepted.
|
| 40 |
Sicut in holocausto arietum, et taurorum, et sicut in millibus agnorum pinguium: sic fiat sacrificium nostrum in conspectu tuo hodie, ut placeat tibi: quoniam non est confusio confidentibus in te.
As in holocausts of rams, and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be made in thy sight this day, that it may please thee: for there is no confusion to them that trust in thee.
|
| 41 |
Et nunc sequimur te in toto corde, et timemus te, et quaerimus faciem tuam.
And now we follow thee with all our heart, and we fear thee, and seek thy face.
|
| 42 |
Ne confundas nos: sed fac nobiscum iuxta mansuetudinem tuam, et secundum multitudinem misericordiae tuae.
Put us not to confusion, but deal with us according to thy meekness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies.
|
| 43 |
Et erue nos in mirabilibus tuis, et da gloriam nomini tuo Domine:
And deliver us, according to thy wonderful works, and give glory to thy name, O Lord:
|
| 44 |
et confundantur omnes, qui ostendunt servis tuis mala, confundantur in omni potentia tua, et robur eorum conteratur:
And let all them be confounded that shew evils to thy servants, let them be confounded in all thy might, and let their strength be broken:
|
| 45 |
et sciant quia tu es Dominus Deus solus, et gloriosus super orbem terrarum.
And let them know that thou art the Lord, the only God, and glorious over all the world.
|
| 46 |
Et non cessabant qui miserant eos ministri regis succendere fornacem, naphtha, et stuppa, et pice, et malleolis,
Now the king's servants that had cast them in, ceased not to heat the furnace with brimstone and tow, and pitch, and dry sticks,
|
| 47 |
et effundebatur flamma super fornacem cubitis quadraginta novem:
And the flame mounted up above the furnace nine and forth cubits:
|
| 48 |
et erupit, et incendit quos reperit iuxta fornacem de Chaldaeis.
And it broke forth, and burnt such of the Chaldeans as it found near the furnace.
|
| 49 |
Angelus autem Domini descendit cum Azaria, et sociis eius in fornacem: et excussit flammam ignis de fornace,
But the angel of the Lord went down with Azarias and his companions into the furnace: and he drove the flame of the fire out of the furnace,
|
| 50 |
et fecit medium fornacis quasi ventum roris flantem, et non tetigit eos omnino ignis, neque contristavit, nec quidquam molestiae intulit.
And made the midst of the furnace like the blowing of a wind bringing dew, and the fire touched them not at all, nor troubled them, nor did them any harm.
|
| 51 |
Tunc hi tres quasi ex uno ore laudabant, et glorificabant, et benedicebant Deum in fornace, dicentes:
Then these three, as with one mouth, praised and glorified and blessed God, in the furnace, saying:
|
| 52 |
Benedictus es Domine Deus patrum nostrorum: et laudabilis, et gloriosus, et superexaltatus in saecula. et benedictum nomen gloriae tutae sanctum: et laudabile, et superexaltatum in omnibus saeculis.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers; and worthy to be praised, and glorified, and exalted above all for ever: and blessed is the holy name of thy glory: and worthy to be praised and exalted above all, in all ages.

tunc Nabuchodonosor rex obstipuit et surrexit propere et ait optimatibus suis nonne tres viros misimus in medio ignis conpeditos qui respondentes dixerunt regi vere rex
Then Nabuchodonosor, the king, was astonished, and rose up in haste, and said to his nobles: Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered the king, and said: True, O king.
|
| 25 |
respondit et ait ecce ego video viros quattuor solutos et ambulantes in medio ignis et nihil corruptionis in eis est et species quarti similis filio Dei
He answered, and said: Behold, I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there is no hurt in them, and the form of the fourth is like the son of God.
|
| 26 |
tunc accessit Nabuchodonosor ad ostium fornacis ignis ardentis et ait Sedrac Misac et Abdenago servi Dei excelsi egredimini et venite statimque egressi sunt Sedrac Misac et Abdenago de medio ignis
Then Nabuchodonosor came to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said: Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, ye servants of the most high God, go ye forth, and come. And immediately Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, went out from the midst of the fire.
|
| 27 |
et congregati satrapae magistratus et iudices et potentes regis contemplabantur viros illos quoniam nihil potestatis habuisset ignis in corporibus eorum et capillus capitis eorum non esset adustus et sarabara eorum non fuissent inmutata et odor ignis non transisset per eos
And the nobles, and the magistrates, and the judges, and the great men of the king, being gathered together, considered these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, and that not a hair of their head had been singed, nor their garments altered, nor the smell of the fire had passed on them.
|
| 28 |
et erumpens Nabuchodonosor ait benedictus Deus eorum Sedrac videlicet Misac et Abdenago qui misit angelum suum et eruit servos suos quia crediderunt in eo et verbum regis inmutaverunt et tradiderunt corpora sua ne servirent et ne adorarent omnem deum excepto Deo suo
Then Nabuchodonosor breaking forth, said: Blessed be the God of them, to wit, of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that believed in him: and they changed the king's word, and delivered up their bodies, that they might not serve nor adore any god except their own God.
