Adhyāya 3
nabookadanessar raja ne sone kee aek moorat banavai, jinakee unchai satt hat, aur chaudai chh: hath kee thee. aur us ne usako babul ke praant ke doora nam maaidan men khda karaya.
2 tab nabookadanessar raja ne aadhaipaatiyo, hakimo, gavarnaro, jajo, khjannaachiyo, nyaayiyo, shaaastriayo, adi praanta-praant ke sab aadhaikaariyon ko bulava bheja ki ve us moorat kee pratishtta men aaen jo us ne khdee karai thee.
3 tab aadhaipaati, hakim, garvanar, jaj, khjannachee, nyayee, shaasree aadi praanta-praant ke sab aadhaikaree nabookadanessar raja kee khdee karai hui moorat kee praatishtta ke liye ikatthe hua, aur us moorat ke samhane khde hue.
4 tab ddhniddhoriye ne unche shabd se pukarakar kaha, he desha-desh aur jati-jati ke logo, aur bhainn bhainn bhasha bolanevalo, tum ko yah agyaa sunai jatee haai ki,
5 jis samay tum narasinge, bansulee, veena, sarangee, sitar, shahanai aadi sab prakar ke bajon ka shabd suno, tum usee samay girakar nabookadanessar raja kee khdee karai huae sone kee moorat ko dandvata karo.
6 aur jo koi girakar dandvata n karega vah usee ghadee dhadhakate huae bhtthe ke beech men dal diya jaaega.
7 is karan us samay jyon hee sab jati ke logon ko narasinge, bansulee, veena, sarangee, sitar shahanai adi sab prakar ke bajon ka shabd sun pada, tyon hee desha-desh aur jati-jati ke logon aur bhainna-abhainn bhasha bolanevalon ne girakar us sone kee moorat ko jo nabookadanessar raja ne khdee karai thee, dandvata kee..
8 usee samay kai ek kasadee puroosh raja ke pas gaa, aur kapatt se yahoodiyon kee chugalee khai.
9 ve nabukadanessar raja se kahane lage, he raja, too chiranjeev rahe.
10 he raja, too ne to yah agyaa dee haai ki jo manushy naraasinge, bansulee, veena, sarangee, sitar, shahanai aadi sab prakar ke bajon ka shabd sune, vah girakar us sone kee moorat ko dandvat kare
11 aur jo koi girakar dandvata n kare vah dhadhakate huae bhtthe ke beech men dal diya jaae.
12 dek, shadrak, meshak, aur abedanago nam kuchh yahoodee puroosh haai, jinhen too ne babul ke praant ke karya ke upar niyukt kiya haai. un purooshaen ne, he raja, teree agyaa kee kuchh chinta naheen kee ve tere devata kee upasana naheen karate, aur jo sone kee moorat too ne khdee karai haai, usako dandvata naheen karate..
13 tab nabookadanessar ne rosh aur jalajalahatt men akar agyaa dee ki shadrak meshak aur abedanago ko lao. tab ve puroosh raja ke samhane haajir kiae gaae.
14 nabookadanessar ne un se poochha, he shadrak, meshak aur abedanago, tum log jo mere devata kee upasana naheen karate, aur meree khdee karai hui sone kee moorat ko dandvata naheen karate, so kya tum jan boojhkar aeesa karate ho?
15 yaadi tum abhee taaiyar ho, ki jab naraasinge, bausulee, veena, sarangee, sitar, shahanai aadi sab prakar ke bajon ka shabd suno, aur usee kshan girakar meree banavai hui moorat ko dandvata karo, to bachoge aur yadi tum dandvata ne karo to isee ghadee dhadhakate huae bhtthe ke beech men dale jaoge fir aeesa kaun devata haai, jo tum ko mere hath se chhuda sake?
16 shadrak, meshak aur abedanago ne raja se kaha, he nabookadanessar, is vishay men tujhe uttr dene ka hamen kuchh prayojan naheen jan padta.
17 hamara parameshvar, jisakee ham upasana karate haain vah ham ko us dhadhakate huae bhtte kee ag se bachane kee shaaktai rakhta haai varan he raja, vah hamen tere hath se bhee chhuda sakata haai.
18 parantu, yadi nahee, to he raja tujhe maloom ho, ki ham log tere devata kee upasana naheen karenge, aur n teree khdee karai hui sone kee moorat ko dandvata karenge..
19 tab nabookadanessar jhunjhla utta, aur usake chehare ka rang shadrak, meshak aur abedanago kee or badal gaya. aur us ne agyaa dee ki bhtthe ko sataguna adhaik dhadhaka do.
20 fir apanee sena men ke kai aek balavana purooshaen ko us ne agyaa dee, ki shadrak, meshak aur abedanago ko bandhakar unhen dhadhakate huae bhtthe men dal do.
21 tab ve puroosh apane mojo, angarakho, bagon aur aur vasren saahit bandhakar, us dhadhakate huae bhtthe men dal diae gaae.
22 vah bhttha to raja kee draddh agyaa hone ke karan atyant dhadhakaya gaya tha, is karan jin purooshaen ne shadrak, meshak aur abedanago ko uttaya ve hee ag kee anch se jal mare.
23 aur usee dhadhakate huae bhtthe ke beech ye teenon puroosha, shadrak, meshak aur abedanago, bandho huae faenk diae gaae..
24 tab nabookadanessare raja achaambhiat hua aur ghabarakar utt khda hua. aur apane mantriayon se poochhne laga, kya ham ne us ag ke beech teen hee puroosh bandho huae naheen dlavaae? unhon ne raja ko uttr diya, han raja, sach bat to haai.
25 fir us ne kaha, ab maain dekhta hoon ki char puroosh ag ke beech khule huae tthal rahe haai, aur unako kuchh bhee hani naheen pahunchee aur chauthe puroosh ka svaroop ishvar ke putra ke sadrashy haai..
26 fir nabookadanessar us dhadhakate huae bhtthe ke dar ke pas jakar kahane laga, he shadrak, meshak aur abedanago, he paramapradhaan parameshvar ke daso, nikalakar yahan ao! yah sunakar shadrak, meshak aur abedanago ag ke beech se nikal aae.
27 jab aadhaipaati, hakim, garvanar aur raja ke mantriayon ne, jo ikatthe huae the, un purooshaen kee or dekha, tab unakee deh men ag ka kuchh bhee prabhav naheen paya aur unake sir ka aek bal bhee n jhulasa, n unake moje kuchh bigade, n un men jalane kee kuchh gandha pai gai.
28 nabookadanessar kahane laga, dhany haai shadrak, meshak aur abedanago ka parameshvar, jis ne apana doot bhejakar apane in dason ko isaaliye bachaya, kyonaki inhon ne raja kee agyaa n manakar, usee par bhrosa rakha, aur yah sochakar apana shareer bhee arpan kiya, ki ham apane parameshvar ko chhod, kisee devata kee upasana va dandvata n karenge.
29 isaliye ab maain yah agyaa deta hoon ki desha-desh aur jati-jati ke logo, aur bhainna-abhainn bhasha bolanevalon men se jo koi shadrak, meshak aur abedanago ke parameshvar kee kuchh ninda karega, vah ttukade ttukade kiya jaaega, aur usaka ghar ghoora banaya jaaega kyonki aeesa koi aur devata naheen jo is reeati se bacha sake.
30 tab raja ne babul ke praant men shadrak, meshak, abedanago ka pad aur uncha kiya..
