| O rei Nabucodonozor fez uma estátua de ouro, a altura da qual era de sessenta côvados, e a sua largura de seis côvados; levantou-a no campo de Dura, na província de Babilônia. | Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide: he put it up in the valley of Dura, in the land of Babylon. | | Então o rei Nabucodonozor mandou ajuntar os sátrapas, os prefeitos, os governadores, os conselheiros, os tesoureiros, os juízes, os magistrados, e todos os oficiais das províncias, para que viessem à dedicação da estátua que ele fizera levantar. | And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to get together all the captains, the chiefs, the rulers, the wise men, the keepers of public money, the judges, the overseers, and all the rulers of the divisions of the country, to come to see the unveiling of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up. | | Então se ajuntaram os sátrapas, os prefeitos, os governadores, os conselheiros, os tesoureiros, os juízes, os magistrados, e todos os oficiais das províncias, para a dedicação da estátua que o rei Nabucodonozor fizera levantar; e estavam todos em pé diante da imagem. | Then the captains, the chiefs, the rulers, the wise men, the keepers of public money, the judges, the overseers, and all the rulers of the divisions of the country, came together to see the unveiling of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up; and they took their places before the image which Nebuchadnezzar had put up. | | E o pregoeiro clamou em alta voz: Ordena-se a vós, ó povos, nações e gentes de todas as línguas: | Then one of the king's criers said in a loud voice, To you the order is given, O peoples, nations, and languages, | | Logo que ouvirdes o som da trombeta, da flauta, da harpa, da cítara, do saltério, da gaita de foles, e de toda a sorte de música, prostrar-vos-eis, e adorareis a imagem de ouro que o rei Nabucodonozor tem levantado. | That when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to your ears, you are to go down on your faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king has put up: | | E qualquer que não se prostrar e não a adorar, será na mesma hora lançado dentro duma fornalha de fogo ardente. | And anyone not falling down and worshipping will that same hour be put into a burning and flaming fire. | | Portanto, no mesmo instante em que todos os povos ouviram o som da trombeta, da flauta, da harpa, da cítara, do saltério, e de toda a sorte de música, se prostraram todos os povos, nações e línguas, e adoraram a estátua de ouro que o rei Nabucodonozor tinha levantado. | So at that time, all the people, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and all sorts of instruments, came to their ears, went down on their faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up. | | Ora, nesse tempo se chegaram alguns homens caldeus, e acusaram os judeus. | At that time certain Chaldaeans came near and made a statement against the Jews. | | E disseram ao rei Nabucodonozor: ç rei, vive eternamente. | They made answer and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, O King, have life for ever. | | Tu, ó rei, fizeste um decreto, pelo qual todo homem que ouvisse o som da trombeta, da flauta, da harpa, da cítara, do saltério, da gaita de foles, e de toda a sorte de música, se prostraria e adoraria a estátua de ouro; | You, O King, have given an order that every man, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to his ears, is to go down on his face in worship before the image of gold: | | e qualquer que não se prostrasse e adorasse seria lançado numa fornalha de fogo ardente. | And anyone not falling down and worshipping is to be put into a burning and flaming fire. | | Há uns homens judeus, que tu constituíste sobre os negócios da província de Babilônia: Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego; estes homens, ó rei, não fizeram caso de ti; a teus deuses não servem, nem adoram a estátua de ouro que levantaste. | There are certain Jews whom you have put over the business of the land of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men have not given attention to you, O King: they are not servants of your gods or worshippers of the gold image which you have put up. | | Então Nabucodonozor, na sua ira e fúria, mandou chamar Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego. Logo estes homens foram trazidos perante o rei. | Then Nebuchadnezzar in his wrath and passion gave orders for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego to be sent for. Then they made these men come in before the king. | | Falou Nabucodonozor, e lhes disse: E verdade, ó Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego, que vós não servis a meus deuses nem adorais a estátua de ouro que levantei? | Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that you will not be servants of my god or give worship to the image of gold which I have put up? | | Agora, pois, se estais prontos, quando ouvirdes o som da trombeta, da flauta, da harpa, da cítara, do saltério, da gaita de foles, e de toda a sorte de música, para vos prostrardes e adorardes a estátua que fiz, bom é; mas, se não a adorardes, sereis lançados, na mesma hora, dentro duma fornalha de fogo ardente; e quem é esse deus que vos poderá livrar das minhas mãos? | Now if you are ready, on hearing the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, to go down on your faces in worship before the image which I have made, it is well: but if you will not give worship, that same hour you will be put into a burning and flaming fire; and what god is there who will be able to take you out of my hands? | | Responderam Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego, e disseram ao rei: ç Nabucodonozor, não necessitamos de te responder sobre este negócio. | Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answering Nebuchadnezzar the king, said, There is no need for us to give you an answer to this question. | | Eis que o nosso Deus a quem nós servimos pode nos livrar da fornalha de fogo ardente; e ele nos livrará da tua mão, ó rei. | If our God, whose servants we are, is able to keep us safe from the burning and flaming fire, and from your hands, O King, he will keep us safe. | | Mas se não, fica sabendo, ó rei, que não serviremos a teus deuses nem adoraremos a estátua de ouro que levantaste. | But if not, be certain, O King, that we will not be the servants of your gods, or give worship to the image of gold which you have put up. | | Então Nabucodonozor se encheu de raiva, e se lhe mudou o aspecto do semblante contra Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego; e deu ordem para que a fornalha se aquecesse sete vezes mais do que se costumava aquecer; | Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of wrath, and the form of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: and he gave orders that the fire was to be heated up seven times more than it was generally heated. | | e ordenou a uns homens valentes do seu exército, que atassem a Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego, e os lançassem na fornalha de fogo ardente. | And he gave orders to certain strong men in his army to put cords on Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego and put them into the burning and flaming fire. | | Então estes homens foram atados, vestidos de seus mantos, suas túnicas, seus turbantes e demais roupas, e foram lançados na fornalha de fogo ardente. | Then these men had cords put round them as they were, in their coats, their trousers, their hats, and their clothing, and were dropped into the burning and flaming fire. | | Ora, tão urgente era a ordem do rei e a fornalha estava tão quente, que a chama do fogo matou os homens que carregaram a Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego. | And because the king's order was not to be put on one side, and the heat of the fire was so great, the men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were burned to death by the flame of the fire. | | E estes três, Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego, caíram atados dentro da fornalha de fogo ardente. | And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, with the cords about them, went down into the burning and flaming fire. | | Então o rei Nabucodonozor se espantou, e se levantou depressa; falou, e disse aos seus conselheiros: Não lançamos nós dentro do fogo três homens atados? Responderam ao rei: É verdade, ó rei. | Then King Nebuchadnezzar, full of fear and wonder, got up quickly, and said to his wise men, Did we not put three men in cords into the fire? and they made answer and said to the king, True, O King. | | Disse ele: Eu, porém, vejo quatro homens soltos, que andam passeando dentro do fogo, e nenhum dano sofrem; e o aspacto do quarto é semelhante a um filho dos deuses. | He made answer and said, Look! I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are not damaged; and the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods. | | Então chegando-se Nabucodonozor à porta da fornalha de fogo ardente, falou, dizendo: Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego, servos do Deus Altíssimo, saí e vinde! Logo Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego saíram do meio do fogo. | Then Nebuchadnezzar came near the door of the burning and flaming fire: he made answer and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, you servants of the Most High God, come out and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out of the fire. | | E os sátrapas, os prefeitos, os governadores, e os conselheiros do rei, estando reunidos, viram que o fogo não tinha tido poder algum sobre os corpos destes homens, nem foram chamuscados os cabelos da sua cabeça, nem sofreram mudança os seus mantos, nem sobre eles tinha passado o cheiro de fogo. | And the captains, the chiefs, and the rulers, and the king's wise men who had come together, saw these men, over whose bodies the fire had no power, and not a hair of their heads was burned, and their coats were not changed, and there was no smell of fire about them. | | Falou Nabucodonozor, e disse: Bendito seja o Deus de Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego, o qual enviou o seu anjo e livrou os seus servos, que confiaram nele e frustraram a ordem do rei, escolhendo antes entregar os seus corpos, do que servir ou adorar a deus algum, senão o seu Deus. | Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said, Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel and kept his servants safe who had faith in him, and who put the king's word on one side and gave up their bodies to the fire, so that they might not be servants or worshippers of any other god but their God. | | Por mim, pois, é feito um decreto, que todo o povo, nação e língua que proferir blasfêmia contra o Deus de Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego, seja despedaçado, e as suas casas sejam feitas um monturo; porquanto não há outro deus que possa livrar desta maneira. | And it is my decision that any people, nation, or language saying evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, will be cut to bits and their houses made waste: because there is no other god who is able to give salvation such as this. | | Então o rei fez prosperar a Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego na província de Babilonia. | Then the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego even greater authority in the land of Babylon. |
