1 El rey Nabucodonosor hizo una estatua de oro de sesenta codos de alto y seis codos de ancho. La levantó en el valle de Dura, en la tierra de Babilonia.
1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
2 Después mandó reunir a los capitanes, los jefes, los gobernantes, los sabios, los tesoreros, los jueces, los supervisores y todos los gobernadores de las regiones del país, para la presentación de la estatua que había levantado.
2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, 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 Los capitanes, los jefes, los gobernantes, los sabios, los tesoreros, los jueces, los supervisores y todos los gobernadores de las regiones del país se reunieron para la presentación de la estatua que el rey Nabucodonosor había levantado. Se colocaron delante de ella.
3 Then the local governors, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
4 Entonces un pregonero del rey anunció en voz alta: Pueblos, naciones y gente de toda lengua, esta es la orden que se les da:
4 Then the herald cried aloud, “To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,
5 Cuando oigan el sonido del cuerno, la flauta, el arpa, el trígono, el salterio, la gaita y toda clase de instrumentos, deben postrarse y adorar la estatua de oro que el rey Nabucodonosor ha levantado.
5 that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.
6 Quien no se postre y la adore será arrojado en ese mismo momento al fuego ardiente del horno.
6 Whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace the same hour.”
7 Por eso, cuando todos oyeron el sonido del cuerno, la flauta, el arpa, el trígono, el salterio y toda clase de instrumentos, se postraron y adoraron la estatua de oro que el rey Nabucodonosor había levantado.
7 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
8 En ese momento, unos caldeos se acercaron y acusaron a los judíos.
8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near and brought accusation against the Jews.
9 Dijeron al rey Nabucodonosor: ¡Que el rey viva para siempre!
9 They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for ever!
10 Rey, tú has ordenado que todo el que oiga el sonido del cuerno, la flauta, el arpa, el trígono, el salterio, la gaita y toda clase de instrumentos se postre y adore la estatua de oro.
10 You, O king, have made a decree that every man who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music shall fall down and worship the golden image;
11 Quien no se postre y la adore debe ser arrojado al fuego ardiente del horno.
11 and whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Pero hay unos judíos a quienes pusiste a cargo de los asuntos de la tierra de Babilonia: Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego. Ellos no te obedecen, rey. No sirven a tus dioses ni adoran la estatua de oro que has levantado.
12 There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, have not respected you. They don’t serve your gods, and don’t worship the golden image which you have set up.”
13 Nabucodonosor, lleno de ira, ordenó traer a Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego. Los llevaron ante el rey.
13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men were brought before the king.
14 Nabucodonosor les preguntó: Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego, ¿es cierto que no sirven a mi dios ni adoran la estatua de oro que he levantado?
14 Nebuchadnezzar answered them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you don’t serve my gods and you don’t worship the golden image which I have set up?
15 Si ahora están dispuestos a postrarse y adorar la estatua que hice cuando oigan el sonido del cuerno, la flauta, el arpa, el trígono, el salterio, la gaita y toda clase de instrumentos, está bien. Pero si no la adoran, serán arrojados en ese mismo momento al fuego ardiente del horno. ¿Qué dios podrá librarlos de mis manos?
15 Now if you are ready whenever you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, good; but if you don’t worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. Who is that god who will deliver you out of my hands?”
16 Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego respondieron al rey Nabucodonosor: No necesitamos darte una respuesta sobre este asunto.
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
17 Si nuestro Dios, a quien servimos, puede librarnos del fuego ardiente del horno y de tus manos, rey, él nos librará.
17 If it happens, 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.
18 Pero si no lo hace, debes saber, rey, que no serviremos a tus dioses ni adoraremos la estatua de oro que has levantado.
18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.”
19 Nabucodonosor se llenó de ira, y su rostro cambió al mirar a Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego. Ordenó calentar el horno siete veces más de lo acostumbrado.
19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the form of his appearance was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.
20 También ordenó a unos hombres fuertes de su ejército que ataran a Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego y los arrojaran al fuego ardiente del horno.
20 He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
21 Así que los ataron con sus abrigos, pantalones, gorros y demás ropa, y los arrojaron al fuego ardiente del horno.
21 Then these men were bound in their pants, their tunics, and their mantles, and their other clothes, and were cast into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
22 La orden del rey era firme y el horno estaba tan caliente que las llamas mataron a los hombres que llevaron a Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego hasta el horno.
22 Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 Los tres hombres, Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego, cayeron atados en el fuego ardiente del horno.
23 These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Entonces el rey Nabucodonosor, lleno de temor y asombro, se levantó de prisa y preguntó a sus sabios: ¿No arrojamos al fuego a tres hombres atados? Ellos respondieron: Así es, rey.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished and rose up in haste. He spoke and said to his counselors, “Didn’t we cast three men bound into the middle of the fire?” They answered the king, “True, O king.”
25 El rey dijo: ¡Miren! Veo cuatro hombres sueltos que caminan en medio del fuego sin sufrir daño. El cuarto tiene el aspecto de un hijo de los dioses.
25 He answered, “Look, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are unharmed. The appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”
26 Nabucodonosor se acercó a la entrada del horno y dijo: Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego, siervos del Dios Altísimo, ¡salgan y vengan aquí! Ellos salieron del fuego.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here!” Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the middle of the fire.
27 Los capitanes, los jefes, los gobernantes y los sabios del rey que se habían reunido vieron que el fuego no había dañado sus cuerpos. Ni un cabello se les había quemado; sus abrigos estaban intactos y ni siquiera olían a quemado.
27 The local governors, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counselors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies. The hair of their head wasn’t singed. Their pants weren’t changed. The smell of fire wasn’t even on them.
28 Nabucodonosor dijo: ¡Alabado sea el Dios de Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego! Él envió a su ángel y libró a sus siervos, que confiaron en él. Ellos desobedecieron la orden del rey y entregaron sus cuerpos al fuego antes que servir o adorar a otro dios que no fuera su Dios.
28 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god except their own God.
29 Por eso ordeno que cualquiera, de cualquier pueblo, nación o lengua, que hable contra el Dios de Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego sea cortado en pedazos y su casa sea destruida. Porque no hay otro dios que pueda salvar de esta manera.
29 Therefore I make a decree that every people, nation, and language which speak anything evil 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 who is able to deliver like this.”
30 Entonces el rey dio a Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego aún más autoridad en la tierra de Babilonia.
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… seen with those who were around Ananias, Azarias, Mishael, as present with them in the furnace of fire, in the burning, and preserving them from [the effects of] fire: "And the appearance of the fourth," it is said, "was like to the Son of God." At another time [He is represented as] "a stone cut out of the mountain without …
Let us fear that death which the three men feared when they said to the king, "God is able to deliver us even from that flame; and if not," etc. There was there the fear of that death which the Lord now threatens, when they said, But also if He be not willing openly to deliver us, He can crown …

… willing even to permit them to be burnt; lest, if this should come to pass, they might seem to be speaking falsehoods; they add this also and say, "If this happen not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we serve not thy gods."

And who else save the three men Ananias, Azariah, and Mishael, ever walked about unharmed in flames that blazed and did not burn?
