PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)

1 El rey Nabucodonosor mandó hacer una estatua de oro de sesenta codos de alto y seis de ancho. La hizo instalar en la llanura de Dura, en la provincia 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 Luego convocó a los gobernadores provinciales, prefectos, gobernadores locales, consejeros, tesoreros, jueces, magistrados y todos los funcionarios de las provincias para que acudieran a la dedicación de la estatua que había colocado.

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 Todos ellos llegaron a la dedicación de la estatua que Nabucodonosor había erigido y se pararon frente a 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 heraldo anunció en voz alta: “¡Gente de todas las naciones y lenguas, prestad atención a la orden del rey!

4 Then the herald cried aloud, “To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,

5 En cuanto oigan el sonido del cuerno, de la flauta, de la cítara, del trigono, del arpa, de la flauta y de toda clase de instrumentos musicales, deben caer al suelo 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 El que no se postule inmediatamente y adore será arrojado a un horno de fuego abrasador”.

6 Whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace the same hour.”

7 Así que cuando todo el pueblo escuchó el sonido de los instrumentos musicales todos se postraron: la gente de todas las naciones y lenguas adoró 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, algunos astrólogos se presentaron y lanzaron acusaciones contra los judíos.

8 Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near and brought accusation against the Jews.

9 Dijeron al rey Nabucodonosor: “¡Que su Majestad el rey viva para siempre!

9 They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O king, live for ever!

10 Su Majestad ha decretado que todo aquel que escuche el sonido de los instrumentos musicales se postrará y adorará 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 y el que no lo haga será arrojado a un horno de fuego ardiente.

11 and whoever doesn’t fall down and worship shall be cast into the middle of a burning fiery furnace.

12 Pero hay algunos judíos que pusiste a cargo de la provincia de Babilonia -Sadrac, Mesac y Abednego- que no hacen caso del decreto de tu majestad. No sirven a tus dioses y no adoran la estatua de oro que pusiste”.

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 Esto puso a Nabucodonosor absolutamente furioso. “¡Tráiganme a Sadrac, Mesac y Abednego!”, exigió. Así que 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 “Sadrac, Mesac y Abednego, ¿acaso se niegan ustedes deliberadamente a servir a mis dioses y a adorar la estatua de oro que he levantado?” , preguntó el rey.

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 “¿Están dispuestos ahora a postrarse y adorar la estatua que hice cuando oigan el sonido de los instrumentos musicales? Si no lo haces, serás arrojado inmediatamente al horno de fuego ardiente, ¡y no hay dios que pueda salvarte de mi poder!”

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 “Rey Nabucodonosor, no necesitamos defendernos ante usted por esto”, replicaron Sadrac, Mesac y Abednego.

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, así lo desea, él es capaz de rescatarnos del horno de fuego ardiente. Él nos salvará de su poder, Su Majestad.

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 aunque no lo haga, Su Majestad debe saber que nunca serviríamos a sus dioses ni adoraríamos la estatua de oro que usted ha erigido”.

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 Esto hizo que Nabucodonosor se enojara tanto con Sadrac, Mesac y Abednego que su rostro se torció de rabia. “¡Hagan el horno siete veces más caliente de lo normal!”, ordenó.

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 Entonces ordenó a algunos de sus soldados más fuertes: “¡Aten a Sadrac, Mesac y Abednego y arrójenlos al horno de fuego abrasador!”

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, completamente vestidos con sus abrigos, pantalones, turbantes y otras ropas, y los arrojaron al horno de fuego abrasador.

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 Como la orden del rey fue tan dura al hacer el horno tan extremadamente caliente, las llamas mataron a los soldados que los arrojaron.

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 Sadrac, Mesac y Abednego, aún atados, cayeron en el horno de fuego ardiente.

23 These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.

24 Entonces el rey Nabucodonosor se levantó de repente asombrado. “¿No hemos arrojado a tres hombres atados al horno?” , preguntó a sus consejeros. “Sí, así es, Su Majestad”, respondieron ellos.

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 “¡Mira!”, gritó. “¿Cómo es que puedo ver a cuatro hombres, no atados, caminando en el fuego y sin quemarse? Y el cuarto parece un dios!”

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 dirigió a la puerta del horno de fuego ardiente. “¡Sadrac, Mesac y Abednego, siervos del Dios Altísimo, salid! Venid aquí!”, gritó. Y Sadrac, Mesac y Abednego 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 gobernadores provinciales, los prefectos, los gobernadores locales y los consejeros del rey se reunieron en torno a ellos y vieron que el fuego no les había hecho daño. Sus cabellos no estaban chamuscados, sus ropas no estaban chamuscadas, ¡ni siquiera había olor a humo!

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 Entonces Nabucodonosor dijo: “¡Alabado sea el Dios de Sadrac, Mesac y Abednego! Él envió a su ángel y rescató a sus siervos que confiaban en él. Ellos desobedecieron mi mandato real, arriesgando sus vidas, y se negaron a adorar a otros dioses que no fueran 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 En consecuencia, estoy emitiendo un decreto para que si alguien de cualquier nación o lengua habla irrespetuosamente del Dios de Sadrac, Mesac y Abednego, sea despedazado y sus casas sean destruidas. No hay otro Dios que pueda salvar así”.

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 Nabucodonosor ascendió a Sadrac, Mesac y Abednego, dándoles aún mayores responsabilidades en la provincia de Babilonia.

30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.

“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).
