< Daniela 3 >

1 HANA iho la o Nebukaneza ke alii i kii gula, o kona kiekie he kanaono kubita, a o kona laula eono ia kubita; a kukulu iho la oia ia mea ma ka papu o Dura, ma ka aina o Babulona.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was eighty-eight feet seven inches, and its breadth eight feet ten inches: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
2 Alaila, hoouna aku la o Nebukaneza ke alii, e hoakoakoa mai i na'lii, a me na kiaaina, i na luna koa, ua lunakanawai, a me na lunawaiwai, i na kakaolelo, a me na ilamuku, a me na luna a pau o na aina, e hele mai no ka hoolaa ana i ua kii la a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
3 Alaila, ua hoakoakoaia mai na'lii, a me na kiaaina, i na luna koa, na lunakanawai, a me na lunawaiwai, na kakaolelo, a me na ilamuku, a me na luna a pau o na aina, no ka hoolaa ana i ke kii a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai: a ku lakou imua o ua kii la a Nebukaneza i kukulu ai.
Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the magistrates, 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 A kahea aku la ka luna kukala me ka leo nui, Ua kauohaia mai oukou, e na kanaka, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na elelo,
Then the herald cried aloud, "To you it is commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,
5 I ka wa a oukou e lohe ai i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, a me ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka violaumi, a me ka dukima, a me na mea kani a pau, alaila e moe kukuli iho oukou, a e hoomana aku i ke kii gula a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai:
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 A o ka mea i moe ole ilalo, a hoomana ole aku, ia hora no e hooleiia aku ai oia iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
and whoever doesn't fall down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."
7 No ia mea, ia manawa, i ka lohe ana o kanaka a pau i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, a me ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka violaumi, a me na mea kani a pau, a e moe kukuli iho na kauaka a pau, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na elelo, a hoomana aku lakou i ua kii gula la a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai.
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 A ia manawa no, hele mai la kekahi o ka poe Kaledea, a hoopii aku no kekahi o ka poe Iudaio.
Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.
9 Olelo aku lakou, i aku la ia Nebukaneza i ke alii, E ke alii, e ola mau loa oe.
They answered Nebuchadnezzar the king, "O king, live for ever.
10 Ua kau mai oe, e ke alii, i kanawai penei, Aia lohe na kanaka a pau i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka violaumi a me ka dukima, a me na mea kani a pau, e moe kukuli iho lakou a hoomana aku i ua kii gula la.
You, O king, have made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;
11 A o ka mea i moe ole ilalo, a hoomana ole, e hooleiia aku oia iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
and whoever doesn't fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
12 Aia hoi kekahi mau kanaka no ka poe Iudaio, na mea au i hoonoho ai maluna o na mea ma ka aina o Babulona, o Saderaka, o Mesaka, a o Abedenego; o keia mau kanaka, ea, aole lakou e hoolohe i kau, e ke alii e; aole lakou malama i kou mau akua, aole no hoi lakou i hoomana aku i ke kii gula au i kukulu ai.
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 regarded you: they do not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up."
13 Alaila, kauoha aku la o Nebukaneza, me kona huhu a me kona ukiuki loa, E alakai mai ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego; a ua alakaiia mai no keia mau kanaka imua o ke alii.
Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
14 Olelo aku o Nebukaneza, i aku la ia lakou, Ma ko oukou manao anei ia, e Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego? Aole anei oukou e malama i ko'u mau akua, aole hoi i hoomana i ke kii gala a'u i kukulu ai?
Nebuchadnezzar answered them, "Is it on purpose, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not serve my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
15 Ina hoi e noho makaukau oukou, i ka wa a oukou e lohe ai i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, a me ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka dukima, a me ka violaumi, a me na mea kani a pau, a e moe iho oukou e hoomana aku i ke kii gula a'u i kukulu ai, ua pono; aka, i ole oukou e hoomana aku, ia hora no, e hooleiia'i oukou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana. A owai la ke Akua nana oukou e hoopakele mai kuu lima aku?
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, well: but if you do not worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that god that shall deliver you out of my hands?"
16 Olelo mai la o Saderaka, o Mesaka, a me Abedenego, i mai la i ke alii, E Nebukaneza, aole o makou mea e pane aku ai i kau ma keia mea.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, "Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
17 Ina pela, o ko makou Akua ka mea a makou e malama nei, e hiki no ia ia ke hoopakele ia makou mai ka umu ahi e aa ana, a e hoopakele no hoi ia makou mai kou lima aku, e ke alii.
If it be so, 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 A i ole hoi ia, e ike auanei oe, e ke alii, aole makou e malama i kou mau akua, aole hoi makou e hoomana aku i ke kii gula au i kukulu ai.
But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up."
19 Alaila, piha ae la o Nebukaneza i ka huhu, a ano e ae La kona helehelena ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego; a hoolale ae la oia e hoaa i ka umu ahi a pahiku ka enaena ana i kona mau e enaena ai.
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Therefore he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.
20 A kena aku la oia i na kanaka ikaika o kona poe koa, e nakinaki ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, a e hoolei ia lakou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
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 Alaila, nakinakiia iho la ua poe kanaka la me ko lakou mau lole wawae, a me na palule, a me na kapa aahu, a me na kapa e ae, a hooleiia lakou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
Then these men were bound in their cloaks, trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 A no ka ikaika o ka ke alii kauoha a me ke okoko loa o ka enaena ana o ka umu ahi, nolaila, ua make i ke apoia e ke okoko ana o ke ahi ka poe kanaka nana i hapai o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego.
Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 A o keia mau kanaka ekolu i nakinakiia, o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, haule no lakou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Alaila, pihoihoi iho la o Nebukaneza ke alii, a ku koke oia iluna, olelo aku la ia i kona poe kuhina, i aku la, Aole anei kakou i hoolei aku i ekolu kanaka i nakinakiia iloko o ke ahi? I mai lakou ia ia, E ke alii e, he oiaio no ia.
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up quickly. He spoke and said to his ministers, "Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?" They answered the king, "True, O king."
25 Olelo aku oia, i aku la, Aia hoi, ke ike nei au i na kanaka eha, aole i nakinakiia, e hele ana iloko o ke ahi, aole o lakou wela; a o ka ha, ua like ia me he keiki a ke Akua.
He answered, "Look, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are unharmed; and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods."
26 Alaila, hookokoke aku la o Nebukaneza ma ka puka o ka umu ahi e aa ana, a olelo aku, i aku la, E Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, e na kauwa a ke Akua kiekie loa, e puka mai oukou, a e hele mai ia'u: alaila puka mai o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, mai loko mai o ke ahi.
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 forth, and come here." Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came forth out of the midst of the fire.
27 Ua akoakoa iho la na alii, a me na kiaaina, a me na lunakoa, a me na kuhina o ke alii, a ike lakou i keia mau kanaka, aole lanakila ke ahi maluna o ko lakou mau kino, aole hoi i wela kekahi lauoho o ko lakou mau poo, aole i aa iki ia ko lakou kapa, aole hoi ka hohono ahi i pili ia lakou.
The satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the king's ministers, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their trousers changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.
28 Alaila, olelo aku o Nebukaneza, i aku la, E hoomaikaiiia ke Akua o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, ka mea i hoouna mai i kona anela, a i hoopakele mai i kona poe kauwa, ka poe i manaoio aku ia ia; ua hoolohe ole lakou i ka olelo a ke alii, a ua haawi lakou i ko lakou mau kino, i ole lakou e malama, a e hoomana i na akua e, aka, i ko lakou Akua wale no.
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 No ia mea, ke kau aku nei au i kanawai paa, O na kanaka a pau, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na olelo, ke hoino wale aku i ke Akua o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, e okioki liilii ia lakou, a e hooliloia ko lakou mau hale i hooleina moka; no ka mea, aohe akua e ae e hiki ai ke hoopakele e like me keia.
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 reduced to rubble; because there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way."
30 No ia mea, hookiekie iho la ke alii ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, ma ka aina o Babulona.
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
