< Daniel 2 >

1 In the secounde yeer of the rewme of Nabugodonosor, Nabugodonosor siy a dreem; and his spirit was aferd, and his dreem fledde awei fro hym.
Pea ʻi hono ua taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa Nepukanesa, naʻe misi ʻa Nepukanesa ʻae ngaahi misi: ʻaia naʻe mamahi ai ʻa hono loto, pea naʻe mahuʻi ʻene mohe meiate ia.
2 Therfor the kyng comaundide, that the dyuynours, and astronomyens, and witchis, and Caldeis schulden be clepid togidere, that thei schulden telle to the kyng hise dremys; and whanne thei weren comun, thei stoden bifor the king.
Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi ke ui ʻae kau fiemana, mo e kau ʻasitolōnoma, mo e kau tuki, mo e kau Kalitia, koeʻuhi ke nau fakahā ki he tuʻi ʻa ʻene ngaahi misi. Ko ia naʻa nau haʻu ʻo tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi.
3 And the king seide to hem, Y siy a dreem, and Y am schent in mynde, and Y knowe not what Y siy.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate kinautolu, Kuo u misi ha misi, pea naʻe mamahi hoku loto ke u ʻiloʻi ʻae misi.
4 And Caldeis answeriden the kyng bi Sirik langage, Kyng, liue thou with outen ende; seie thi dreem to thi seruauntis, and we schulen schewe to thee the expownyng therof.
Pea naʻe lea ʻae kau Kalitia ki he tuʻi, ʻi he lea fakaSilia, “ʻE tuʻi ke ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata: tala ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae misi, pea te mau fakahā hono ʻuhinga.”
5 And the kyng answeride, and seide to Caldeis, The word is goen awei fro me; if ye schewen not to me the dreem, and expownyng therof, ye schulen perische, and youre housis schulen be forfetid.
Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehē, ki he kau Kalitia; “Kuo mole ʻae meʻa meiate au: kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakahā kiate au ʻae misi, mo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia, ʻe tuʻutuʻu fakaikiiki ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻe ngaohi homou ngaahi fale ko e tuʻunga ʻotoʻota.
6 Forsothe if ye tellen the dreem, and the expownyng therof, ye schulen take of me meedis and yiftis, and myche onour; therfor schewe ye to me the dreem, and the interpretyng therof.
Pea kapau te mou fakahā ʻae misi, pea mo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia, te mou maʻu meiate au ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki, mo e ngaahi totongi, mo e fakaʻapaʻapa lahi: ko ia te mou fakahā mai ʻae misi, mo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia kiate au.”
7 Thei answeriden the secounde tyme, and seiden, The kyng seie the dreem to hise seruauntis, and we schulen schewe the interpretyng therof.
Pea naʻe toe lea ʻakinautolu ʻo pehē, “Ke fakamatala ʻe he tuʻi ʻae misi ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea te mau fakahā hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia.”
8 The kyng answeride, and seide, Certis Y woot, that ye ayenbien the tyme, and witen that the word is goen awei fro me.
Pea lea ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehēange, “ʻOku ou ʻilo pau ʻoku mou loto ke fakatuai; koeʻuhi ʻoku mou ʻilo kuo mole ʻae meʻa meiate au.
9 Therfor if ye schewen not to me the dreem, o sentence is of you, for ye maken an interpretyng bothe fals and ful of disseit, that ye speke to me til the tyme passe; therfor seie ye the dreem to me, that Y wite, that ye speke also the veri interpretyng therof.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakahā kiate au ʻae misi, ʻoku ai ʻae fono pe taha kiate kimoutolu: he kuo mou teuteu ʻae ngaahi lea kākā mo kovi ke lea ʻaki ʻi hoku ʻao, ke ʻoua ke ai ha kuonga kehe; ko ia, fakahā mai ʻae misi, pea te u ʻilo ai ʻoku mou mafai ke fakahā hono ʻuhinga.”
10 Therfor Caldeis answeriden bifor the kyng, and seiden, Kyng, no man is on erthe, that mai fille thi word; but nether ony greet man and myyti of kyngis axith siche a word of ony dyuynour, and astronomyen, and of a man of Caldee.
Pea naʻe lea ʻae kau Kalitia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata ʻi māmani ʻe mafai ke fakahā ʻae meʻa ni ʻae tuʻi; ko ia ʻoku teʻeki ai ha tuʻi, pe ha ʻeiki, pe ha pule, kuo fehuʻi ki ha taha fai mana, pe ki ha ʻasitolōnoma, pe ko e Kalitia, ki ha ngaahi meʻa pehē.
11 For the word which thou, kyng, axist, is greuouse, nether ony schal be foundun, that schal schewe it in the siyt of the king, outakun goddis, whos lyuyng is not with men.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻoku tokanga ki ai ʻae tuʻi, ko e meʻa lahi: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha niʻihi kehe ʻe fakahā ia ki he tuʻi, ka ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai nofo mo e kakano.”
12 And whanne this word was herd, the kyng comaundide, in woodnesse and in greet ire, that alle the wise men of Babiloyne schulden perische.
Pea koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni naʻe houhau ʻae tuʻi, pea mātuʻaki lili, pea ne fekau ke fakaʻauha ʻae kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻi Papilone.
13 And bi the sentence goon out, the wise men weren slayn; and Danyel and hise felows weren souyt, that thei schulden perische.
Pea naʻe fanongonongo ʻae fono ke tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata poto; pea naʻa nau kumi ʻa Taniela, mo ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
14 Thanne Danyel axide of the lawe and sentence, of Ariok, prynce of chyualrie of the kyng, that was gon out to sle the wise men of Babiloyne.
Pea naʻe tali fakakaukau poto ʻe Taniela, kia ʻAlioke, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu ke tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata poto ʻo Papilone;
15 And he axide hym, that hadde take power of the kyng, for what cause so cruel a sentence yede out fro the face of the kyng. Therfor whanne Ariok hadde schewid the thing to Danyel,
Naʻe lea ia ʻo pehē kia ʻAlioke, ko e ʻeikitau ʻae tuʻi, ko e hā ʻoku vave pehē ai ʻae fono mei he tuʻi? Pea naʻe toki fakahā ʻe ʻAlioke ʻae meʻa kia Taniela.
16 Danyel entride, and preyede the kyng, that he schulde yyue tyme to hym to schewe the soilyng to the kyng.
Pea toki ʻalu atu ai ʻa Taniela ki he tuʻi ʻo ne kole ke ne fakatotoka muʻa, pea te ne fakahā ki he tuʻi ʻa hono ʻuhinga.
17 And he entride in to his hous, and schewide the nede to Ananye, and to Misael, and Asarie,
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Taniela ki hono fale, pea ne fakahā ʻae meʻa kia Hanania, mo Misaeli, mo ʻAsalia, ʻa ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa
18 hise felowis, that thei schulden axe merci of the face of God of heuene on this sacrament; and that Danyel and hise felowis schulden not perische with othere wise men of Babiloyne.
Koeʻuhi ke nau kole ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa mei he ʻOtua ʻoe langi, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa fufū ni: pea ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha ʻa Taniela, mo ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa, fakataha mo e kau tangata poto kehe ʻo Papilone.
19 Thanne the priuyte was schewid to Danyel bi a visioun in nyyt. And Danyel blesside God of heuene, and seide,
Pea naʻe toki fakahā ʻae meʻa fufū kia Taniela ʻi he meʻa hā mai ʻi he pō. Pea naʻe fakafetaʻi ʻa Taniela ki he ʻOtua ʻoe langi.
20 The name of the Lord be blessid fro the world, and til in to the world, for wisdom and strengthe ben hise;
Naʻe lea ʻa Taniela ʻo pehē, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae huafa ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata; he ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻae poto mo e mālohi:
21 and he chaungith tymes and ages, he translatith rewmes and ordeyneth; he yyueth wisdom to wise men, and kunnyng to hem that vndurstonden techyng, ether chastisyng;
Pea ʻoku ne liliu ʻae ngaahi kuonga, mo e ngaahi faʻahitaʻu: ʻoku ne ʻave ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, pea ʻoku ne fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi: ʻoku ne foaki ʻae poto ki he kau poto, mo e ʻilo kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻilo loto.
22 he schewith deepe thingis and hid, and he knowith thingis set in derknessis, and liyt is with hym.
‌ʻOku ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa loloto mo fufū: ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi he poʻuli, pea ʻoku nofo ʻiate ia ʻae maama.
23 God of oure fadris, Y knowleche to thee, and Y herie thee, for thou hast youe wisdom and strengthe to me; and now thou hast schewid to me tho thingis, whiche we preieden thee, for thou hast openyd to vs the word of the kyng.
‌ʻOku ou fakafetaʻi mo fakamālō kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku ngaahi tamai, ʻa koe kuo ke foaki mai kiate au ʻae poto, mo e mālohi, pea kuo ke toki fakahā mai kiate au, ʻaia naʻa mau kole ʻiate koe; he kuo ke fakahā mai kiate kimautolu ʻae meʻa ʻae tuʻi.”
24 Aftir these thingis Danyel entride to Ariok, whom the kyng hadde ordeyned, that he schulde leese the wise men of Babiloyne, and thus he spak to hym, Leese thou not the wise men of Babiloyne; leede thou me in bifor the siyt of the kyng, and Y schal telle the soilyng to the kyng.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ʻa Taniela kia ʻAlioke, ʻaia naʻe fekauʻi ʻe he tuʻi ke fakaʻauha ʻae kau tangata poto ʻo Papilone: pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia; “ʻOua naʻa ke fakaʻauha ʻae kau tangata poto ʻo Papilone: ka ke ʻave au ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, pea te u fakahā ki he tuʻi hono ʻuhinga.”
25 Thanne Ariok hastynge ledde in Danyel to the kyng, and seide to him, Y haue foundun a man of the sones of passyng ouer of Juda, that schal telle the soilyng to the kyng.
Pea naʻe ʻomi fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe ʻAlioke ʻa Taniela, ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Kuo u ʻilo ʻae tangata ʻi he kau pōpula ʻo Siuta, ʻaia te ne fakahā ki he tuʻi ʻa hono ʻuhinga.”
26 The kyng answeride, and seide to Danyel, to whom the name was Balthasar, Whethir gessist thou, that thou maist verili schewe to me the dreem which Y siy, and the interpretyng therof?
Naʻe folofola ange ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehē kia Taniela, ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Pelitisasa, “ʻOku ke faʻa fai ke fakahā kiate au ʻae misi, ʻaia naʻaku mamata ai mo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia?”
27 And Danyel answeride bifore the king, and seide, The priuytee which the kyng axith, wise men, and astronomyens, and dyuynours, and lokeris of auteris, moun not schewe to the kyng.
Pea lea ʻa Taniela ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa fufū ʻaia kuo ʻeke ʻe he tuʻi, ʻe ʻikai lavaʻi ʻe he kau tangata poto, pe ʻe he kau ʻasitolōnoma, pe ʻe he kau fai mana, pe ʻe he kau kikite, ke fakahā ki he tuʻi.
28 But God is in heuene, that schewith priuytees, which hath schewid to thee, thou king Nabugodonosor, what thingis schulen come in the laste tymes. Thi dreem and visiouns of thin heed, in thi bed, ben sich.
Ka ʻoku ai ha ʻOtua ʻi he langi, ʻaia ʻoku fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa fufū, pea ʻoku ne fakahā ki he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa, ʻaia ʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui. Ko ʻeni ia ʻa hoʻo misi, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa hā mai ki ho ʻulu ʻi ho mohenga:
29 Thou, kyng, bigunnest to thenke in thi bed, what was to comynge aftir these thingis; and he that schewith priuetees, schewide to thee what thingis schulen come.
Koeʻuhi ko koe ʻe tuʻi, naʻe tupu hake ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi fakakaukau ʻi ho mohenga ki he meʻa e hoko ʻamui: pea ko ia ʻoku fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa fufū, ʻoku ne fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa e hoko.
30 And this sacrament is schewid to me, not bi wisdom which is in me more than in alle lyuynge men, but that the interpretyng schulde be maad opyn to the kyng, and thou schuldist knowe the thouytis of thi soule.
Ka koeʻuhi ko au, ʻoku ʻikai ke fakahā ʻae meʻa fufū ni kiate au, koeʻuhi ko haʻaku poto ʻoku lahi hake ʻi he kakai moʻui kotoa pē, ka koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻe fakahā hono ʻuhinga ki he tuʻi, pea koeʻuhi ke ke ʻilo pe ʻe koe, ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻo ho loto.
31 Thou, kyng, siyest, and lo! as o greet ymage; thilke ymage was greet, and hiy in stature, and stood bifore thee, and the loking therof was ferdful.
“Ko koe, ʻe tuʻi, naʻa ke mamata, pea vakai, ko e fuʻu meʻa fakatātā. Ko e fuʻu meʻa fakatātā ni ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻaupito ʻene ngingila, naʻe tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao, pea naʻe fakamanavahē hono anga.
32 The heed of this ymage was of best gold, but the brest and armes weren of siluer; certis the wombe and thies weren of bras,
ko e ʻulu ʻoe meʻa fakatātā ni ko e koula lelei ia, ko hono fatafata mo hono nima, ko e siliva, ko hono kete mo hono tenga, ko e palasa,
33 but the leggis weren of irun; forsothe sum part of the feet was of irun, sum was of erthe.
Ko hono loto tenga ʻo fai ki hono vaʻe, ko e ukamea, ko hono vaʻe, ko e konga ʻoe ukamea mo e konga ʻoe ʻumea.
34 Thou siyest thus, til a stoon was kit doun of the hil, with outen hondis, and smoot the ymage in the irun feet therof and erthene feet, and al to-brak tho.
Naʻa ke mamata ai pe mo ʻene tā mai ha maka naʻe ʻikai kau ai ha nima, pea ne taaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae vaʻe ʻoe meʻa fakatātā, ʻaia naʻe fefiofi ai ʻae ukamea mo ʻumea, pea naʻe lailai ia ke momo.
35 Thanne the irun, tijl stoon, ether erthene vessel, bras, siluer, and gold, weren al to-brokun togidere, and dryuun as in to a deed sparcle of a large somer halle, that ben rauyschid of wynd, and no place is foundun to tho; forsothe the stoon, that smoot the ymage, was maad a greet hil, and fillide al erthe.
“Pea naʻe toki maumauʻi fakataha ʻae ukamea, mo e ʻumea, ʻae palasa, mo e siliva pea mo e koula, pea naʻe hoko ʻo hangē ko e kafukafu ʻi he ngaahi hahaʻanga ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana; pea naʻe vilingia ʻi he matangi, pea naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ha potu ki ai, pea ko e maka naʻe tā ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakatātā naʻe hoko ia ko e fuʻu moʻunga ʻo ne fakafonu ʻa māmani kotoa pē.
36 This is the dreem. Also, thou kyng, we schulen seie bifor thee the interpretyng therof.
“Ko eni ʻae misi; pea te mau fakahā ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ʻa hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia.
37 Thou art kyng of kyngis, and God of heuene yaf to thee rewme, strengthe, and empire, and glorie;
Ko koe, ʻe tuʻi, ko e tuʻi koe ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi, he kuo foaki kiate koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe langi ha puleʻanga mo e pule, mo e mālohi mo e nāunau.
38 and he yaf in thin hond alle thingis, in whiche the sones of men, and the beestis of the feeld, and the briddis of the eir dwellen, and ordeynede alle thingis vndur thi lordschip; therfor thou art the goldun heed.
Pea ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ai ʻae fānau ʻae tangata, kuo ne tuku ki ho nima ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao, mo e fanga manupuna kotoa pē ʻoe ʻatā, pea kuo ne fokotuʻu koe ko e pule kiate kinautolu kotoa pē; ko koe ko e ʻulu ni ʻoe koula.
39 And another rewme lesse than thou schal rise aftir thee; and the thridde rewme, an other of bras, that schal haue the empire of al erthe.
Pea ʻe tupu ki mui ʻiate koe ha puleʻanga kehe, ʻo siʻi hifo ʻiate koe, mo ha puleʻanga kehe, ko hono tolu, ʻoe palasa, ʻaia ʻe fai ʻae pule ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
40 And the fourthe rewme schal be as irun, as irun makith lesse, and makith tame alle thingis, so it schal make lesse, and schal al to-breke alle these rewmes.
Pea ko hono fā ʻoe puleʻanga ʻe mālohi ia ʻo hangē ko e ukamea; he koeʻuhi ʻoku maumau mo ikuʻi ʻe he ukamea ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē: pea hangē ʻoku maumau ʻe he ukamea ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, te ne laiki mo fakavolu.
41 Forsothe that thou siest a part of the feet and fyngris of erthe of a pottere, and a part of irun, the rewme shal be departid; which netheles schal rise of the plauntyng of irun, `bi that that thou siest irun meynd with a tijl stoon of clei,
Pea koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻo mamata ki he vaʻe mo e ngaahi louhiʻi vaʻe, ko e konga ʻoe ʻumea, mo e konga ʻoe ukamea, ʻe vahevahe ʻae puleʻanga; ka ʻe ʻi ai ʻae mālohi ʻoe ukamea; he koeʻuhi naʻa ke mamata ki he ukamea naʻe fefiofi mo e ʻumea pelepela.
42 and the toos of the feet in parti of irun, and in parti of erthe, in parti the rewme schal be sad, and in parti to-brokun.
Pea hangē ko e ngaahi louhiʻi vaʻe, naʻe ukamea ha konga pea ʻumea ha konga, ʻe pehē ʻae puleʻanga, ʻe mālohi ha konga pea pelepelengesi ha konga.
43 Forsothe that thou siest irun meynd with a tiel stoon of clei, sotheli tho schulen be meynd togidere with mannus seed; but tho schulen not cleue to hem silf, as irun mai not be meddlid with tyel stoon.
Pea hangē naʻa ke mamata ki he ukamea naʻe fefiofi mo e ʻumea pelepela, te nau fefiofi ʻakinautolu mo e hako ʻoe tangata, ka ʻe ʻikai te nau fepikitaki, ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻikai ke fefiofi ʻae ukamea mo e ʻumea
44 Forsothe in the daies of tho rewmes, God of heuene shal reise a rewme, that schal not be distried with outen ende, and his rewme schal not be youun to another puple; it schal make lesse, and schal waste alle these rewmes, and it schal stonde with outen ende,
Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ni ʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe langi, ha puleʻanga, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai ʻauha ʻo lauikuonga: pea ʻe ʻikai tuku ʻae puleʻanga ki ha kakai kehe, ka te ne laiki mo fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ni kotoa pē, pea ʻe tuʻumaʻu ia ʻo taʻengata.
45 bi this that thou siest, that a stoon was kit doun of the hil with outen hondis, and maad lesse the tiel stoon, and irun, and bras, and siluer, and gold. Greet God hath schewid to the kyng, what thingis schulen come aftirward; and the dreem is trewe, and the interpretyng therof is feithful.
Pea koeʻuhi naʻa ke mamata, naʻe tā ʻae maka mei he moʻunga taʻekau ai ha nima, pea naʻa ne maumauʻi ʻae ukamea, ʻae palasa, ʻae ʻumea, ʻae siliva, pea mo e koula; kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua lahi ki he tuʻi, ʻaia ʻe hoko ʻamui: pea ʻoku moʻoni ʻae misi, pea ko hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia ʻoku maʻu.”
46 Thanne king Nabugodonosor felle doun on his face, and worschipide Danyel, and comaundide sacrifices and encense to be brouyt, that tho schulden be sacrifised to hym.
Pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae tuʻi ko Nepukanesa ki hono fofonga, pea ne hū kia Taniela, pea ne fekau ke nau ʻatu ha feilaulau mo e ngaahi meʻa namu kakala kiate ia.
47 Therfor the kyng spak, and seide to Danyel, Verili youre God is God of goddis, and Lord of kyngis, that schewith mysteries, for thou miytist opene this sacrament.
Naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi kia Taniela, pea ne pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ko homou ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, pea mo e ʻEiki ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi, pea ko ia ʻoku fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa fufū, koeʻuhi naʻa ke mafai ke fakahā ʻae meʻa fufū ni.”
48 Thanne the kyng reiside Danyel an hiy, and yaf many yiftis and grete to hym; and ordeynede hym prince and prefect, ether cheef iustise, ouer alle the prouynces of Babiloyne, and maister ouer alle the wise men of Babiloyne.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻa Taniela ʻe he tuʻi, ko e tangata lahi, pea ne foaki kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kehekehe, pea ne fokotuʻu ia ko e pule ki he potu kotoa pē ʻo Papilone, pea ko e ʻuluaki ia ʻi he kau pule ki he kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻo Papilone.
49 Forsothe Danyel axide of the kyng, and ordeynede Sidrac, Misaac, and Abdenago ouer alle the werkis of the prouynce of Babiloyne; but Danyel hym silf was in the yatis of the kyng.
Pea naʻe kole ʻe Taniela ki he tuʻi pea ne fokotuʻu ʻa Seteleki, mo Mesake, mo ʻApeteniko ke pule ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe potu ʻo Papilone: ka naʻe nofo ʻa Taniela ʻi he matapā ʻoe tuʻi.
