1. नबूकदनेस्सर राजा ने सोने की एक मूरत बनवाई, जिनकी ऊंचाई साठ हाथ, और चौड़ाई छ: हाथ की थी। और उस ने उसको बाबुल के प्रान्त के दूरा नाम मैदान में खड़ा कराया।

1. Nabuchodonozor ye king made an image of gold, whiche was threescore cubites hie, and sixe cubites thicke: he set it vp in the plaine of Dura, in the prouince of Babylon.

2. तब नबूकदनेस्सर राजा ने अधिपतियों, हाकिमों, गवर्नरों, जजों, खजांनचियों, न्यायियों, शास्त्रियों, आदि प्रान्त- प्रान्त के सब अधिकारियों को बुलवा भेजा कि वे उस मूरत की प्रतिष्ठा में आएं जो उस ने खड़ी कराई थी।

2. Then Nabuchodonozor the king sent foorth to gather together the dukes, lordes, and nobles, the iudges and officers, the deputies, and sherifes, with all the rulers of the prouinces, that they might come to the dedication of the image whiche Nabuchodonozor the king had set vp.

3. तब अधिपति, हाकिम, गर्वनर, जज, खजांनची, न्यायी, शास्त्री आदि प्रान्त- प्रान्त के सब अधिकारी नबूकदनेस्सर राजा की खड़ी कराई हुई मूरत की प्रतिष्ठा के लिये इकट्ठे हुए, और उस मूरत के साम्हने खड़े हुए।

3. So the dukes, lordes, and nobles, the iudges, & officers, deputies, & sherifes, with all the rulers of the prouince, gathered them together vnto the dedicating of the image that Nabuchodonozor the king had set vp, & they stoode before the image whiche Nabuchodonozor had set vp.

4. तब ढिंढोरिये ने ऊंचे शब्द से पुकारकर कहा, हे देश- देश और जाति- जाति के लोगों, और भिन्न भिन्न भाषा बोलनेवालो, तुम को यह आज्ञा सुनाई जाती है कि,
प्रकाशितवाक्य 10:11

4. Then an herald cryed a loude: To you it is commaunded O people, nations, and languages,

5. जिस समय तुम नरसिंगे, बांसुली, वीणा, सारंगी, सितार, शहनाई आदि सब प्रकार के बाजों का शब्द सुनो, तुम उसी समय गिरकर नबूकदनेस्सर राजा की खड़ी कराई हुए सोने की मूरत को दण्डवत् करो।
मत्ती 4:9, प्रकाशितवाक्य 13:15

5. That whe ye heare the noyse of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, shawme, psaltries, dulcimer, and al maner of instrumentes of musicke, ye fall downe and worship that golden image that Nabuchodonozor the king hath set vp.

6. और जो कोई गिरकर दण्डवत् न करेगा वह उसी घड़ी धधकते हुए भट्ठे के बीच में डाल दिया जाएगा।
मत्ती 13:42-50, प्रकाशितवाक्य 13:15

6. Whoso then falleth not downe & worshippeth, shall euen the same houre be cast into the mids of a hot firie fornace.

7. इस कारण उस समय ज्यों ही सब जाति के लोगों को नरसिंगे, बांसुली, वीणा, सारंगी, सितार शहनाई आदि सब प्रकार के बाजों का शब्द सुन पड़ा, त्यों ही देश- देश और जाति- जाति के लोगों और भिन्न- भिन्न भाषा बोलनेवालों ने गिरकर उस सोने की मूरत को जो नबूकदनेस्सर राजा ने खड़ी कराई थी, दण्डवत् की।।

7. Therfore when all the folke heard the noyse of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, shawme, psaltries, and al instrumentes of musicke, then all the people, nations, and languages fell downe and worshipped the golden image that Nabuchodonozor the king had set vp.

8. उसी समय कई एक कसदी पुरूष राजा के पास गए, और कपट से यहूदियों की चुगली खाई।

8. Nowe were there certayne men of the Chaldees, that went euen then, and cried out an accusation of the Iewes.

9. वे नबुकदनेस्सर राजा से कहने लगे, हे राजा, तू चिरंजीव रहे।

9. They spake, and sayde vnto the king Nabuchodonozor: O king, liue for euer.

10. हे राजा, तू ने तो यह आज्ञा दी है कि जो मनुष्य नरसिंगे, बांसुली, वीणा, सारंगी, सितार, शहनाई आदि सब प्रकार के बाजों का शब्द सुने, वह गिरकर उस सोने की मूरत को दण्डवत करे;
मत्ती 4:9

10. Thou O king, hast made a decree, that euery man that shall heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, shawme, psaltries, dulcimer, & all instrumentes of musicke, shall fall downe and worship the golden image:

11. और जो कोई गिरकर दण्डवत् न करे वह धधकते हुए भट्ठे के बीच में डाल दिया जाए।

11. And who so then fel not downe, & worshipped not, that he shoulde be cast into the mids of an hot firie fornace.

12. देख, शद्रक, मेशक, और अबेदनगो नाम कुछ यहूदी पुरूष हैं, जिन्हें तू ने बाबुल के प्रान्त के कार्य के ऊपर नियुक्त किया है। उन पुरूषों ने, हे राजा, तेरी आज्ञा की कुछ चिन्ता नहीं की; वे तेरे देवता की उपासना नहीं करते, और जो सोने की मूरत तू ने खड़ी कराई है, उसको दण्डवत् नहीं करते।।

12. Now are there certayne Iewes, whom thou hast set ouer the charge of the prouince of Babylon: [namely] Sidrach, Misach, and Abednego: these men, O king, regarded not thy commaundement: yea they will not serue thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set vp.

13. तब नबूकदनेस्सर ने रोष और जलजलाहट में आकर आज्ञा दी कि शद्रक मेशक और अबेदनगो को लाओ। तब वे पुरूष राजा के साम्हने हाजिर किए गए।

13. Then Nabuchodonozor in his anger and wrath commaunded that Sidrach, Misach, & Abednego should be brought vnto hym: so these men were brought before the king.

14. नबूकदनेस्सर ने उन से पूछा, हे शद्रक, मेशक और अबेदनगो, तुम लोग जो मेरे देवता की उपासना नहीं करते, और मेरी खड़ी कराई हुई सोने की मूरत को दण्डवत् नहीं करते, सो क्या तुम जान बूझकर ऐसा करते हो?

14. Then Nabuchodonozor spake vnto them, and sayde: Is it true, O Sidrach, Misach, & Abednego, will not you serue my gods, nor worship the golden image that I haue set vp?

15. यदि तुम अभी तैयार हो, कि जब नरसिंगे, बाुसुली, वीणा, सारंगी, सितार, शहनाई आदि सब प्रकार के बाजों का शब्द सुनो, और उसी क्षण गिरकर मेरी बनवाई हुई मूरत को दण्डवत् करो, तो बचोगे; और यदि तुम दण्डवत् ने करो तो इसी घड़ी धधकते हुए भट्ठे के बीच में डाले जाओगे; फिर ऐसा कौन देवता है, जो तुम को मेरे हाथ से छुड़ा सके?
मत्ती 4:9

15. Nowe therfore be redy when ye heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, shawme, psaltries, dulcimers, and al instrumentes of musicke, to fal downe and worship the image whiche I haue made: for if ye worship it not, ye shalbe cast immediatly into the mids of a hot firie fornace: for who is that God that can deliuer you out of my handes?

16. शद्रक, मेशक और अबेदनगो ने राजा से कहा, हे नबूकदनेस्सर, इस विषय में तुझे उत्तर देने का हमें कुछ प्रयोजन नहीं जान पड़ता।

16. Sidrach, Misach, and Abednego aunswered the king, and sayd: O Nabuchodonozor, we are not carefull to aunswere thee in this matter:

17. हमारा परमेश्वर, जिसकी हम उपासना करते हैं वह हम को उस धधकते हुए भट्टे की आग से बचाने की शक्ति रखता है; वरन हे राजा, वह हमें तेरे हाथ से भी छुड़ा सकता है।

17. Beholde, our God whom we serue, is able to deliuer vs from the hot firie fornace: and he wil deliuer vs out of thy hande O king.

18. परन्तु, यदि नहीं, तो हे राजा तुझे मालूम हो, कि हम लोग तेरे देवता की उपासना नहीं करेंगे, और न तेरी खड़ी कराई हुई सोने की मूरत को दण्डवत् करेंगे।।

18. And though he will not, yet shalt thou knowe O king, that we will not serue thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set vp.

19. तब नबूकदनेस्सर झुंझला उठा, और उसके चेहरे का रंग शद्रक, मेशक और अबेदनगो की ओर बदल गया। और उस ने आज्ञा दी कि भट्ठे को सातगुणा अधिक धधका दो।

19. Then was Nabuchodonozor full of indignation, so that the countenaunce of his face chaunged vpon Sidrach, Misach, and Abednego: therefore he charged and commaunded that they should heate the fornace, one seuen times more then it was wont to be heat.

20. फिर अपनी सेना में के कई एक बलवान् पुरूषों को उस ने आज्ञा दी, कि शद्रक, मेशक और अबेदनगो को बान्धकर उन्हें धधकते हुए भट्ठे में डाल दो।

20. And he charged the most valiaunt men of warre that were in his armie, to bind Sidrach, Misach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the hot firie fornace.

21. तब वे पुरूष अपने मोजों, अंगरखों, बागों और और वस्त्रों सहित बान्धकर, उस धधकते हुए भट्ठे में डाल दिए गए।

21. So these men were bounde in their coates, hosen, head attire, with their other garmentes, and cast into the mids of the hot firie fornace.

22. वह भट्ठा तो राजा की दृढ़ आज्ञा होने के कारण अत्यन्त धधकाया गया था, इस कारण जिन पुरूषों ने शद्रक, मेशक और अबेदनगो को उठाया वे ही आग की आंच से जल मरे।

22. Therefore, because the kinges commaundement was straite, & the fornace was exceeding hot, the men that put in Sidrach, Misach, and Abednego, the flamble of the fire destroyed them.

23. और उसी धधकते हुए भट्ठे के बीच ये तीनों पुरूष, शद्रक, मेशक और अबेदनगो, बन्धे हुए फेंक दिए गए।।
इब्रानियों 11:34

23. And these three men Sidrach, Misach, and Abednego, fel downe in the mids of the hot firie fornace bounde. (3:24) And they walked in the middest of the flambe, praysing God & magnifiyng the Lorde. (3:25) Then Azarias stoode vp, & prayed on this maner: euen in the middest of the fire opened he his mouth, and sayde: (3:26) Blessed be thou O Lorde God of our fathers, right worthy to be praysed and honoured is that name of thine for euermore: (3:27) For thou art righteous in al the thinges that thou hast done to vs, Yea faythfull are al thy workes, thy wayes are right, and all thy iudgementes true. (3:28) In all ye thinges that thou hast brought vpon vs, and vpon the holy citie of our fathers, euen Hierusalem, thou hast executed true iudgement: yea according to right and equitie hast thou brought all these thinges vpon vs, because of our sinnes. (3:29) For why? we haue offended and done wickedly, departing from thee. (3:30) In all thinges haue we trespassed, & not obeyed thy commaundementes, nor kept them, neither done as thou hast bidden vs, that we may prosper. (3:31) Wherefore all that thou hast brought vpon vs, and euery thing that thou hast done to vs, thou hast done them in true iudgement: (3:32) As in deliuering vs into the handes of our enemies, among vngodly and wicked abhominations, and to an vnrighteous king, yea the most frowarde vpon earth. (3:33) And nowe we may not open our mouthes, we are become a shame and reproofe vnto thy seruauntes, & to them that worship thee. (3:34) Yet for thy names sake [we beseche thee] geue vs not vp for euer, breake not thy couenaunt, (3:35) And take not away thy mercie from vs for thy beloued Abrahams sake, for thy seruaunt Isaacs sake, and for thy holy Israels sake: (3:36) To whom thou hast spoken and promised that thou wouldest multiplie their seede as the starres of heauen, & as the sande that lyeth vpon the sea shore. (3:37) For we O Lord, are become lesse then any people, and be kept vnder this day in all the worlde, because of our sinnes. (3:38) So that nowe we haue neither prince, duke, prophet, burnt offering, sacrifice, oblation, incense, nor sanctuarie before thee. (3:39) Neuerthelesse, in a contrite heart and an humble spirite let vs be receaued, that we may obtayne thy mercie. (3:40) Like as in the burnt offering of rammes and bullockes, and like as in thousandes of fat lambes: so let our offering be in thy sight this daye, that it may please thee: for there is no confusion vnto the that put their trust in thee. (3:41) And now we folowe thee with al our heart, we feare thee, and seke thy face. (3:42) Put vs not to shame: but deale with vs after thy louing kindnesse, and according to the multitude of thy mercies. (3:43) Deliuer vs by thy miracles O Lorde, and get thy name an honour: that all they which do thy seruauntes euyl, may be confounded: (3:44) Let them be ashamed thorow thy almightie power, and let their strength be broken: (3:45) That they may knowe, how that thou only art the Lorde God, and honour worthy throughout all the worlde. (3:46) And the kinges seruauntes that put them in, ceassed not to make the ouen hot with wild fire, drie straw, pitche, towe, and fagottes: (3:47) So that the flambe went out of the ouen vpon a fourtie and nyne cubites: (3:48) Yea it toke away and brent vp those Chaldees that it gat holde vpon beside the ouen. (3:49) But the angell of the Lorde came downe into the ouen to Azaria and his felowes, and smote the flambe of the fire out of the ouen, (3:50) And made the middes of the ouen as it had ben a colde winde blowing: so the fire neither touched them, greeued them, nor dyd them hurt. (3:51) Then these three as out of one mouth, praysed, honoured, and blessed God in the fornace, saying: (3:52) Blessed be thou O Lorde God of our fathers: for thou art prayse and honour worthy, yea & to be magnified for euermore. (3:53) Blessed be the holy name of thy glorie, for it is worthy to be praysed & magnified in all worldes. (3:54) Blessed be thou in the holy temple of thy glorie: for aboue all thinges thou art to be praysed, yea and more then worthy to be magnified for euer. (3:55) Blessed be thou in the throne of thy kingdome: for aboue al thou art worthy to be well spoken of, and to be more then magnified for euer. (3:56) Blessed be thou that lokest thorow the deepe, and sittest vpon the Cherubims: for thou art worthy to be praysed, and aboue all to be magnified for euer. (3:57) Blessed be thou in the firmament of heauen: for thou art prayse and honour worthy for euer. (3:58) O all ye workes of the Lorde, speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:59) O ye angels of the Lorde speake good of the Lord: prayse him, and set hym vp for euer. (3:60) O ye heauens speake good of the Lord: prayse hym, and set him vp for euer. (3:61) O all ye waters that be aboue the firmament speake good of the Lorde: prayse hym, and set him vp for euer. (3:62) O all ye powers of the Lorde speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:63) O ye sunne and moone speake good of the Lord: prayse him, and set hym vp for euer. (3:64) O ye starres of heauen, speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:65) O ye showres and deaw speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:66) O all ye windes of God, speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set hym vp for euer. (3:67) O ye fire and heate speake good of the Lorde: prayse hym, and set him vp for euer. (3:68) O ye winter and sommer speake good of the Lord: prayse hym, and set him vp for euer. (3:69) O ye deawes and frostes speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:70) O ye frost and colde speake good of the Lorde: prayse hym, and set him vp for euer. (3:71) O ye yce and snowe speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set hym vp for euer. (3:72) O ye nightes and dayes speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:73) O ye light and darkenesse speake good of the Lord: prayse him, and set hym vp for euer. (3:74) O ye lightninges and cloudes speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set hym vp for euer. (3:75) O let the earth speake good of the Lorde: yea let it prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:76) O ye mountaynes and hilles speake good of the Lorde: prayse hym, and set hym vp for euer. (3:77) O all ye greene thinges vpon the earth speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set hym vp for euer. (3:78) O ye welles speake good of the Lord: prayse him, and set hym vp for euer. (3:79) O ye seas and fluddes speake good of the Lord: prayse hym, and set him vp for euer. (3:80) O ye whales and all that moue in the waters speake good of the Lord: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:81) O all ye foules of the ayre speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:82) O all ye beastes and cattel speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:83) O ye children of men speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set hym vp for euer. (3:84) O let Israel speake good of the Lord: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:85) O ye priestes of the Lord speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:86) O ye seruauntes of the Lord speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:87) O ye spirites and soules of the righteous speake good of the Lorde: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:88) O ye holy and humble men of heart, speake ye good of the Lord: prayse him, and set him vp for euer. (3:89) O Anania, Azaria, and Misael speake ye good of the Lorde, prayse ye him & set him vp for euer: which hath deliuered vs from the hell, kept vs from the hande of death, ridde vs from the middest of the burning flambe, and saued vs euen in the middest of the fyre. (3:90) O geue thankes therefore vnto the Lorde for he is kinde hearted, and his mercie endureth for euer. (3:91) O all deuout men, speake ye good of the Lorde, the God of all goddes: O prayse him and geue him thankes, for his mercie endureth worlde without ende.

24. तब नबूकदनेस्सरे राजा अचम्भित हुआ और घबराकर उठ खड़ा हुआ। और अपने मन्त्रियों से पूछने लगा, क्या हम ने उस आग के बीच तीन ही पुरूष बन्धे हुए नहीं डलवाए? उन्हों ने राजा को उत्तर दिया, हां राजा, सच बात तो है।

24. (3:92) Then Nabuchodonozor the king was astonied, & rose vp in all haste: he spake vnto his counsel, and sayd, Dyd not we cast three men bounde into the mids of the fire? They aunswered and sayde vnto the king: It is true, O king.

25. फिर उस ने कहा, अब मैं देखता हूं कि चार पुरूष आग के बीच खुले हुए टहल रहे हैं, और उनको कुछ भी हानि नहीं पहुंची; और चौथे पुरूष का स्वरूप ईश्वर के पुत्रा के सदृश्य है।।

25. (3:93) He aunswered & sayde: Lo, I see foure men loose, walking in the mids of ye fire, and they haue no hurt: and the fourme of the fourth is like the sonne of God.

26. फिर नबूकदनेस्सर उस धधकते हुए भट्ठे के द्वार के पास जाकर कहने लगा, हे शद्रक, मेशक और अबेदनगो, हे परमप्रधान परमेश्वर के दासो, निकलकर यहां आओ! यह सुनकर शद्रक, मेशक और अबेदनगो आग के बीच से निकल आए।

26. (3:94) Upon this went Nabuchodonozor vnto the mouth of the hot firie fornace, he spake also, and sayd: O Sidrach, Misach, and Abednego, ye seruauntes of the hye God, go foorth, and come hyther. And so Sidrach, Misach, & Abednego came foorth of the mids of the fire.

27. जब अधिपति, हाकिम, गर्वनर और राजा के मन्त्रियों ने, जो इकट्ठे हुए थे, उन पुरूषों की ओर देखा, तब उनकी देह में आग का कुछ भी प्रभाव नहीं पाया; और उनके सिर का एक बाल भी न झुलसा, न उनके मोजे कुछ बिगड़े, न उन में जलने की कुछ गन्ध पाई गई।

27. (3:94) Then the dukes, lordes, and nobles, and the kinges counsel, came together to see these men, vpon whom the fire had no maner of power in their bodies: in so much that the very heere of their head was not burnt, and their clothes vnchaunged, yea there was no smell of fire felt vpon them.

28. नबूकदनेस्सर कहने लगा, धन्य है शद्रक, मेशक और अबेदनगो का परमेश्वर, जिस ने अपना दूत भेजकर अपने इन दासों को इसलिये बचाया, क्योंकि इन्हों ने राजा की आज्ञा न मानकर, उसी पर भरोसा रखा, और यह सोचकर अपना शरीर भी अर्पण किया, कि हम अपने परमेश्वर को छोड़, किसी देवता की उपासना वा दण्डवत् न करेंगे।

28. (3:95) Then spake Nabuchodonozor, and sayde: Blessed be the God of Sidrach, Misach, and Abednego, which hath sent his angel, and deliuered his seruauntes that put their trust in him, and haue altered the kinges commaundement, and ieoparded their bodies, rather then they would serue or worship any God, except their owne God onely.

29. इसलिये अब मैं यह आज्ञा देता हूं कि देश- देश और जाति- जाति के लोगों, और भिन्न- भिन्न भाषा बोलनेवालों में से जो कोई शद्रक, मेशक और अबेदनगो के परमेश्वर की कुछ निन्दा करेगा, वह टुकड़े टुकड़े किया जाएगा, और उसका घर घूरा बनाया जाएगा; क्योंकि ऐसा कोई और देवता नहीं जो इस रीति से बचा सके।

29. (3:96) Therfore I make a decree, that euery people, nation, & language, which speake any blasphemie against the God of Sidrach, Misach, and Abednego, shalbe drawen in peeces, and their houses shalbe made a takes: because there is no God that can deliuer after this sort.

30. तब राजा ने बाबुल के प्रान्त में शद्रक, मेशक, अबेदनगो का पद और ऊंचा किया।।

30. (3:97) So the king promoted Sidrach, Misach, and Abednego, in the prouince of Babylon.
