Daniel 3
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Statuia de aur şi cuptorul aprins
3 Împăratul Nebucadneţar a făcut o statuie de aur, înaltă de şaizeci de coţi şi lată de şase coţi[a], pe care a ridicat-o în valea Dura, în provincia Babilonului. 2 Împăratul Nebucadneţar a poruncit să se adune satrapii, demnitarii, guvernatorii, sfetnicii, vistiernicii, judecătorii, magistraţii şi toţi ceilalţi conducători ai provinciei[b], ca să vină la dedicarea statuii ridicate de împăratul Nebucadneţar. 3 Satrapii, demnitarii, guvernatorii, sfetnicii, vistiernicii, judecătorii, magistraţii şi toţi ceilalţi conducători ai provinciei au început să se adune, venind pentru dedicarea statuii ridicate de împăratul Nebucadneţar; ei s-au strâns înaintea statuii ridicate de împăratul Nebucadneţar. 4 Un crainic a proclamat cu glas tare, zicând astfel:
„Popoare, neamuri şi oameni de orice limbă! 5 În clipa când veţi auzi sunetul trâmbiţei, al flautului, al ţiterei, al lirei, al psalterionului,[c] al fluierului şi a tot felul de alte instrumente muzicale, să vă prosternaţi şi să vă închinaţi înaintea statuii de aur pe care a ridicat-o împăratul Nebucadneţar. 6 Cine nu se va prosterna şi nu se va închina, va fi aruncat chiar în clipa aceea în mijlocul unui cuptor aprins.“
7 Astfel, când au auzit sunetul trâmbiţei, al flautului, al ţiterei, al lirei, al psalterionului şi a tot felul de alte instrumente muzicale, toate popoarele, neamurile şi oamenii de toate limbile s-au prosternat şi s-au închinat statuii de aur, ridicate de împăratul Nebucadneţar.
8 Cu prilejul acesta, chiar în aceeaşi perioadă, câţiva dintre astrologi[d] au ieşit în faţă şi i-au pârât pe iudei. 9 Ei i-au zis împăratului Nebucadneţar: „Să trăieşti veşnic, împărate! 10 Tu, împărate, ai dat poruncă ca orice om care aude sunetul trâmbiţei, al flautului, al ţiterei, al lirei, al psalterionului, al fluierului şi a tot felul de alte instrumente muzicale să se prosterneze şi să se închine statuii de aur, 11 iar cine nu se prosternează şi nu se închină, să fie aruncat în cuptorul aprins. 12 Dar sunt nişte iudei, pe care i-ai numit în slujba de administratori ai provinciei Babilonului, şi anume Şadrak, Meşak şi Abed-Nego, oameni care nu ţin seama deloc de tine, împărate! Ei nu slujesc zeilor tăi şi nu se închină statuii de aur pe care ai ridicat-o.“
13 Atunci Nebucadneţar, aprins de mânie, a poruncit să fie aduşi Şadrak, Meşak şi Abed-Nego. Bărbaţii aceştia au fost aduşi înaintea împăratului, 14 iar Nebucadneţar le-a zis:
– Şadrak, Meşak şi Abed-Nego, voi nu slujiţi zeilor mei şi nu vă închinaţi statuii de aur pe care am ridicat-o?! 15 Acum fiţi gata ca, în clipa în care veţi auzi sunetul trâmbiţei, al flautului, al ţiterei, al lirei, al psalterionului, al fluierului şi a tot felul de alte instrumente muzicale, să vă prosternaţi şi să vă închinaţi statuii pe care am făcut-o. Dacă nu vă veţi închina, veţi fi aruncaţi de îndată în mijlocul unui cuptor aprins. Şi care este zeul acela care vă va izbăvi din mâna mea?
16 Şadrak, Meşak şi Abed-Nego i-au răspuns împăratului:
– Nebucadneţare, noi n-avem nevoie să ne apărăm înaintea ta în această privinţă! 17 Iată, Dumnezeul nostru, Căruia Îi slujim, poate să ne scape din cuptorul aprins şi ne va izbăvi şi din mâna ta, împărate! 18 Şi, chiar dacă nu va fi aşa, să ştii, împărate, că nu vom sluji zeilor tăi şi nici nu ne vom închina statuii de aur pe care ai ridicat-o.
19 Atunci Nebucadneţar s-a umplut de mânie şi i s-a schimbat înfăţişarea feţei din pricina lui Şadrak, a lui Meşak şi a lui Abed-Nego. A poruncit să se încălzească cuptorul de şapte ori mai mult[e] decât trebuia încălzit. 20 Apoi a poruncit unora dintre cei mai puternici bărbaţi din oştirea lui să-i lege pe Şadrak, pe Meşak şi pe Abed-Nego şi să-i arunce în cuptorul aprins. 21 Astfel, oamenii aceştia au fost legaţi, aşa cum erau îmbrăcaţi, în mantalele, tunicile, turbanele şi celelalte haine ale lor, şi au fost aruncaţi în mijlocul cuptorului aprins. 22 Fiindcă porunca împăratului a fost grabnică, iar cuptorul fusese încălzit peste măsură, acei oameni care s-au urcat cu Şadrak, Meşak şi Abed-Nego au fost ucişi de flacăra focului, 23 iar cei trei bărbaţi – Şadrak, Meşak şi Abed-Nego – legaţi fiind, au căzut în mijlocul cuptorului aprins.
24 Atunci împăratul Nebucadneţar s-a înspăimântat şi s-a ridicat în grabă. El le-a zis sfetnicilor săi:
– Nu am aruncat noi în mijlocul focului trei bărbaţi legaţi?
Ei i-au răspuns împăratului:
– Adevărat, împărate!
25 El a mai zis:
– Ei bine, eu văd patru bărbaţi umblând liberi şi nevătămaţi în mijlocul focului, iar înfăţişarea celui de-al patrulea seamănă cu a unui fiu de zei.
26 Apoi Nebucadneţar s-a apropiat de uşa cuptorului aprins şi a strigat: „Şadrak, Meşak şi Abed-Nego, slujitori ai Dumnezeului Preaînalt, ieşiţi afară şi veniţi încoace!“
Şadrak, Meşak şi Abed-Nego au ieşit din mijlocul focului. 27 Satrapii, demnitarii, guvernatorii şi sfetnicii împăratului s-au strâns cu toţii şi au văzut că focul nu avusese nici o putere asupra trupurilor acestor bărbaţi, că părul capului lor nu se pârlise, că mantiile lor rămăseseră neschimbate şi că nici măcar miros de fum nu se prinsese de ei.
28 Nebucadneţar a zis:
„Binecuvântat să fie Dumnezeul lui Şadrak, al lui Meşak şi al lui Abed-Nego, Care l-a trimis pe îngerul Său şi i-a izbăvit pe slujitorii Săi. Ei s-au încrezut în El, au nesocotit porunca împăratului şi şi-au dat mai degrabă trupurile lor, decât să slujească şi să se închine oricărui alt dumnezeu decât Dumnezeului lor. 29 De aceea dau poruncă ca orice om din orice popor, din orice neam sau de orice limbă ar fi, care va vorbi de rău despre Dumnezeul lui Şadrak, al lui Meşak şi al lui Abed-Nego, să fie făcut bucăţi, iar casa lui să fie prefăcută într-un morman de gunoi, pentru că nu există un alt dumnezeu care să poată izbăvi în felul acesta.“
30 După aceea, împăratul i-a înălţat la mare cinste pe Şadrak, Meşak şi Abed-Nego în provincia Babilonului.

King James Version
3 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 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 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 Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
5 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:
6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
7 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.
8 Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
9 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.

New King James Version
The Image of Gold
3 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was [a]sixty cubits and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. 2 And King Nebuchadnezzar sent word to gather together the satraps, the administrators, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 3 So the satraps, the administrators, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces gathered together for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 4 Then a herald cried [b]aloud: “To you it is commanded, (A)O peoples, nations, and languages, 5 that at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, you shall fall down and worship the gold image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up; 6 and whoever does not fall down and worship shall (B)be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.”
7 So at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, harp, and lyre, in symphony with all kinds of music, all the people, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the gold image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Daniel’s Friends Disobey the King
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans (C)came forward and accused the Jews. 9 They spoke and said to King Nebuchadnezzar, (D)“O king, live forever! 10 You, O king, have made a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the gold image; 11 and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 12 (E)There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; these men, O king, have (F)not paid due regard to you. They do not serve your gods or worship the gold image which you have set up.”
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar, in (G)rage and fury, gave the command to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. So they brought these men before the king. 14 Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image which I have set up? 15 Now if you are ready at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, and you fall down and worship the image which I have made, (H)good! But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. (I)And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?”
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, (J)we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If that is the case, our (K)God whom we serve is able to (L)deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. 18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we (M)worship the gold image which you have set up.”
Saved in Fiery Trial
19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated. 20 And he commanded certain mighty men of valor who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 22 Therefore, because the king’s command was [c]urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his [d]counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?”
They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.”
25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, (N)walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like (O)the[e] Son of God.”
Nebuchadnezzar Praises God
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the [f]mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the (P)Most High God, come out, and come here.” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came from the midst of the fire. 27 And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king’s counselors gathered together, and they saw these men (Q)on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them.
28 Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His (R)Angel[g] and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God! 29 (S)Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language which speaks anything amiss against the (T)God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be (U)cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap; (V)because there is no other God who can deliver like this.”
30 Then the king [h]promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego in the province of Babylon.

Nebuchadnezzar's Golden Image
3 King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits[a] and its breadth six cubits. He set it up on (A)the plain of Dura, in (B)the province of Babylon. 2 Then King Nebuchadnezzar sent to gather (C)the satraps, the prefects, and (D)the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 3 Then (E)the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces gathered for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. And they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 4 And the herald (F)proclaimed aloud, “You are commanded, O (G)peoples, nations, and languages, 5 that when you hear the (H)sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, you (I)are to fall down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. 6 And whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately (J)be cast into a burning fiery furnace.” 7 Therefore, as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, all (K)the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
The Fiery Furnace
8 Therefore at that time certain (L)Chaldeans (M)came forward and maliciously accused the Jews. 9 They declared[b] to King Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, live forever! 10 You, O king, (N)have made a decree, that every man who (O)hears the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, (P)shall fall down and worship the golden image. 11 And whoever does not fall down and worship (Q)shall be cast into a burning fiery furnace. 12 There are certain Jews whom you have (R)appointed over the affairs of (S)the province of Babylon: (T)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, (U)pay no attention to you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar (V)in furious rage commanded that (W)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. So they brought these men before the king. 14 Nebuchadnezzar answered and said to them, “Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image that I have set up? 15 Now if you are ready when (X)you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, well and good.[c] But if you do not worship, (Y)you shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace. And (Z)who is the god who will deliver you out of my hands?”
16 (AA)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If this be so, (AB)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.[d] 18 But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”
19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was (AC)filled with fury, and the expression of his face (AD)was changed against (AE)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was usually heated. 20 And he ordered some of the mighty men of his army (AF)to bind (AG)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 21 Then these men were (AH)bound in their cloaks, their tunics,[e] their hats, and their other garments, and they were thrown into the burning fiery furnace. 22 Because the king's order was (AI)urgent and the furnace overheated, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up (AJ)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell (AK)bound into the burning fiery furnace.
24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was (AL)astonished and rose up (AM)in haste. He declared to his (AN)counselors, “Did we not cast three men (AO)bound into the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” 25 He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, (AP)walking in the midst of the fire, and they (AQ)are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like (AR)a son of the gods.”
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace; he declared, (AS)“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the (AT)Most High God, come out, and come here!” Then (AU)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire. 27 And the (AV)satraps, the prefects, the governors, and (AW)the king's counselors gathered together and saw that (AX)the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men. The hair of their heads was not singed, their (AY)cloaks were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them. 28 Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, “Blessed be the God of (AZ)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who (BA)has sent his angel and (BB)delivered his servants, who (BC)trusted in him, and set aside[f] the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than (BD)serve and worship any god except their own God. 29 Therefore (BE)I make a decree: Any (BF)people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of (BG)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (BH)shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way.” 30 Then the king promoted (BI)Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in (BJ)the province of Babylon.
