Daniele 3

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Nabuchodonosor rex fecit sta tuam auream altitudine cubito rum sexaginta,latitudine cubitorum sex; et statuit eam in campo Dura in provincia Babylonis.	1 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 Itaque Nabuchodonosor rex misit ad congregandos satrapas, magistratus etiudices, duces et tyrannos et praefectos omnesque principes provinciarum, utconvenirent ad dedicationem statuae, quam erexerat Nabuchodonosor rex.	2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellers, 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 Tunccongregati sunt satrapae, magistratus et iudices, duces et tyranni et optimates,qui erant in potestatibus constituti, et universi principes provinciarum addedicationem statuae, quam erexerat Nabuchodonosor rex. Stabant autem inconspectu statuae, quam posuerat Nabuchodonosor,	3 Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellers, 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 et praeco clamabat valenter:“ Vobis dicitur, populi, tribus et linguae:	4 Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
5 in hora, qua audieritis sonitumtubae et fistulae et citharae, sambucae et psalterii et symphoniae et universigeneris musicorum, cadentes adorate statuam auream, quam constituitNabuchodonosor rex.	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 Si quis autem non prostratus adoraverit, eadem horamittetur in fornacem ignis ardentis ”.	6 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
7 Post haec igitur, statim ut audieruntomnes populi sonitum tubae, fistulae et citharae, sambucae et psalterii etsymphoniae et omnis generis musicorum, cadentes omnes populi tribus et linguaeadoraverunt statuam auream, quam constituerat Nabuchodonosor rex.	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 Statimque et in ipso tempore accedentes viri Chaldaei accusaverunt Iudaeos	8 Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
9 dixeruntque Nabuchodonosor regi: “ Rex, in aeternum vive!	9 They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.
10 Tu, rex, posuistidecretum, ut omnis homo, qui audierit sonitum tubae, fistulae et citharae,sambucae et psalterii et symphoniae et universi generis musicorum, prosternat seet adoret statuam auream;	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 si quis autem non procidens adoraverit, mittetur infornacem ignis ardentis.	11 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Sunt ergo viri Iudaei, quos constituisti super operaprovinciae Babylonis, Sedrac, Misac et Abdenago; viri isti te, rex, nonhonorant: deos tuos non colunt et statuam auream, quam erexisti, non adorant ”.	12 There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
13 Tunc Nabuchodonosor in furore et in ira praecepit, ut adducerentur Sedrac,Misac et Abdenago; tunc viri illi adducti sunt in conspectu regis.	13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king.
14 Pronuntiansque Nabuchodonosor rex ait eis: “ Verene, Sedrac, Misac etAbdenago, deos meos non colitis et statuam auream, quam constitui, non adoratis?	14 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
15 Numquid estis nunc parati, quacumque hora audieritis sonitum tubae, fistulae,citharae, sambucae, psalterii et symphoniae omnisque generis musicorum,prosternere vos et adorare statuam, quam feci? Quod si non adoraveritis, eademhora mittemini in fornacem ignis ardentis; et quis est deus, qui eripiat vos demanu mea? ”.	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 Respondentes Sedrac, Misac et Abdenago dixerunt regi Nabuchodonosor: “ Nonoportet nos de hac re respondere tibi:	16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
17 Si enim Deus noster, quem colimus,potest eripere nos de camino ignis ardentis, et de manu tua, rex, liberabit.	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 Quod si noluerit, notum sit tibi, rex, quia deos tuos non colimus et statuamauream, quam erexisti, non adoramus ”.	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 Tunc Nabuchodonosor repletus est furore, et aspectus faciei illius immutatusest super Sedrac, Misac et Abdenago; et respondens praecepit, ut succendereturfornax septuplum quam succendi consueverat;	19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
20 et viris fortissimis de exercitusuo iussit, ut ligarent Sedrac, Misac et Abdenago et mitterent eos in fornacemignis ardentis;	20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 et confestim viri illi vincti, cum bracis suis et tiaris etcalceamentis et vestibus missi sunt in medium fornacis ignis ardentis;	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 itaque, quia iussio regis urgebat, et fornax succensa erat nimis, viros illos,qui miserant Sedrac, Misac et Abdenago, interfecit flamma ignis.	22 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
23 Viri autemtres, Sedrac, Misac et Abdenago, ceciderunt in medio camino ignis ardentiscolligati. (Quae sequuntur in Hebraeis voluminibus non repperi).	23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Et ambulabant in medio flammae laudantes Deum et benedicentes Domino.	24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
25 Stans autem Azarias oravit sic aperiensque os suum in medio ignis ait:	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 “ Benedictus es, Domine, Deus patrum nostrorum, et laudabilis et gloriosum nomen tuum in saecula,	26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
27 quia iustus es in omnibus, quae fecisti nobis, et universa opera tua vera, et viae tuae rectae, et omnia iudicia tua veritas.	27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellers, 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 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.	28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, 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 Peccavimus enim et inique egimus recedentes a te et deliquimus in omnibus;	29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, 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 et praecepta tua non audivimus nec observavimus nec fecimus, sicut praeceperas nobis, ut bene nobis esset.	30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.
31 Omnia ergo, quae induxisti super nos, et universa, quae fecisti nobis, vero iudicio fecisti;
32 et tradidisti nos in manibus inimicorum nostrorum iniquorum et pessimorum praevaricatorumque et regi iniusto et pessimo ultra omnem terram.
33 Et nunc non possumus aperire os; confusio et opprobrium facta sunt servis tuis et his, qui colunt te.
34 Ne, quaesumus, tradas nos in perpetuum propter nomen tuum et ne dissipes testamentum tuum
35 neque auferas misericordiam tuam a nobis propter Abraham dilectum tuum et Isaac servum tuum et Israel sanctum tuum,
36 quibus dixisti quod multiplicares semen eorum sicut stellas caeli et sicut arenam, quae est in litore maris;
37 quia, Domine, imminuti sumus plus quam omnes gentes sumusque humiles in universa terra hodie propter peccata nostra;
38 et non est in tempore hoc princeps et propheta et dux neque holocaustum neque sacrificium neque oblatio neque incensum neque locus primitiarum coram te, ut possimus invenire misericordiam;
39 sed in anima contrita et spiritu humilitatis suscipiamur sicut in holocausto arietum et taurorum
40 et sicut in milibus agnorum pinguium; sic fiat sacrificium nostrum in conspectu tuo hodie, et perfice subsequentes te, quoniam non est confusio confidentibus in te.
41 Et nunc sequimur te in toto corde et timemus te et quaerimus faciem tuam;
42 ne confundas nos, sed fac nobiscum iuxta mansuetudinem tuam et secundum multitudinem misericordiae tuae
43 et erue nos in mirabilibus tuis et da gloriam nomini tuo, Domine.
44 Et confundantur omnes, qui ostendunt servistuis mala; confundantur absque ulla potentia, et robur eorum conteratur.
45 Sciant quia tu es Dominus, Deus solus et gloriosus super orbem terrarum ”.
46 Et non cessabant, qui immiserant eos, ministri regis succendere fornacemnaphta et stuppa et pice et malleolis,
47 et effundebatur flamma super fornacemcubitis quadraginta novem
48 et erupit et incendit, quos repperit iuxta fornacemde Chaldaeis.
49 Angelus autem Domini descendit cum Azaria et sociis eius infornacem et excussit flammam ignis de fornace
50 et fecit medium fornacis quasiventum roris flantem; et non tetigit eos omnino ignis neque contristavit necquidquam molestiae intulit.
51 Tunc hi tres, quasi ex uno ore, laudabant et glorificabant et benedicebantDeo in fornace dicentes:
52 “ Benedictus es, Domine, Deus patrum nostrorum, et laudabilis et superexaltatus in saecula; et benedictum nomen gloriae tuae sanctum et superlaudabile et superexaltatum in saecula.

89 Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus, quoniam in saeculum misericordia eius.
90 Benedicite, omnes, qui timetis Dominum, Deo deorum; laudate et confitemini ei, quia in saecula misericordia eius ”. (Hucusque non habetur in Hebraeo et, quae posuimus, de Theodotionis editionetranslata sunt).
91 24 Tunc Nabuchodonosor rex obstupuit et surrexit propere; respondens aitoptimatibus suis: “ Nonne tres viros misimus in medium ignis compeditos?”.Qui respondentes dixerunt regi: “ Vere, rex ”.
92 25 Respondit et ait: “Ecce ego video viros quattuor solutos et ambulantes in medio ignis, et nihilcorruptionis in eis est, et species quarti similis filio deorum ”.
93 26 Tuncaccessit Nabuchodonosor ad ostium fornacis ignis ardentis et ait: “ Sedrac,Misac et Abdenago, servi Dei excelsi, egredimini et venite ”. Statimqueegressi sunt Sedrac, Misac et Abdenago de medio ignis.
94 27 Et congregatisatrapae, magistratus et iudices et potentes regis contemplabantur viros illos,quoniam nihil potestatis habuisset ignis in corporibus eorum, et capilluscapitis eorum non esset adustus, et sarabara eorum non fuissent immutata, etodor ignis non transisset per eos.
95 28 Et erumpens Nabuchodonosor ait: “Benedictus Deus eorum, Sedrac, Misac et Abdenago, qui misit angelum suum eteruit servos suos, qui crediderunt in eo, et verbum regis immutaverunt ettradiderunt corpora sua, ne servirent et ne adorarent omnem deum, excepto Deosuo.
96 29 A me ergo positum est decretum, ut omnis populus, tribus et linguaquaecumque locuta fuerit blasphemiam contra Deum Sedrac, Misac et Abdenago, infrusta concidatur, et domus eius in sterquilinium fiat, eo quod non est Deusalius, qui possit ita salvare ”.
97 30 Tunc rex promovit Sedrac, Misac etAbdenago in provincia Babylonis.
98 31 Nabuchodonosor rex omnibus populis, gentibus et linguis, quae habitant inuniversa terra: “ Pax vobis multiplicetur.
99 32 Signa et mirabilia, quaefecit apud me Deus excelsus, placuit mihi praedicare:
100 33 Signa eius quam magna sunt, et mirabilia eius quam fortia! Et regnum eius regnum sempiternum, et potestas eius in generationem et generationem ”.
