< Daniela 4 >

1 O NEBUKANEZA ke alii, i na kanaka a pau, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na olelo e, e noho ana ma ka honua a pau: E hoomahuahuaia ana ko oukou maluhia.
King Nabuchodonosor to all nations, tribes, and tongues, who dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied to you.
2 He mea pono i ko'u manao ke hoakaka aku i na hoailona, a me na hana mana a ke Akua kiekie i hana mai ai ia'u.
It seemed good to me to declare to you the signs and wonders which the most high God has wrought with me,
3 He manomano kona mau hoailona, a he kupaianaha hoi kana mau hana mana! O kona aupuni, he aupuni mau loa ia, a o kona alii ana, mai ia hanauna aku ia, a ia hanauna aku.
how great and mighty [they are]: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his power to all generations.
4 Owau, o Nebukaneza, ua noho maluhia au iloko o ko'u hale, a pomaikai no au ma kuu halealii;
I Nabuchodonosor was thriving in my house, and prospering.
5 Ua moe uhane au i ka moe, o ka'u mea ia i weliweli ai, a o na manao maluna o ko'u wahi moe a me ka lia ana o ko'u poo, o ka'u mau mea ia e pihoihoi ai.
I saw a vision, and it terrified me, and I was troubled on my bed, and the visions of my head troubled me.
6 No ia mea, kauoha aku la au e alakaiia mai imua o'u ka poe naauao a pau o Babulona, i hoakaka mai lakou ia'u i ke ano o ka'u moe.
And I made a decree to bring in before me all the wise men of Babylon, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
7 A hele mai no ka poe magoi, a me ka poe hoopiopio, a me ka poe Kaledea, a me ka poe kilokilo, a hoike aku au ia lakou i ka moe; aole i hiki ia lakou ke hai mai i kona mea hoike.
So the enchanters, magicians, soothsayers, [and] Chaldeans came in: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me the interpretation thereof;
8 Mahope iho, hele mai imua o'u o Dauiela, ka mea i kapaia o Beletesaza mamuli o ka inoa o ko'u akua, no ka mea, aia iloko ona ka uhane o na akua hemolele; a hai aku au ia ia i ka'u moe;
until Daniel came, whose name is Baltasar, according to the name of my God, who has within him the Holy Spirit of God; to whom I said,
9 E Beletesaza, e ka luna o na magoi, no ka mea, ua ike au aia iloko ou ka uhane o na akua hemolele, aole ou wahi hemahema ma ka mea i ike ole ia, e hai mai oe i ka moe a'u i ike ai a me kona ano.
O Baltasar, chief of the enchanters, of whom I know that the Holy Spirit of God is in you, and no mystery is too hard for you, hear the vision of my dream which I had, and tell me the interpretation of it.
10 Penei ka lia ana a ko'u poo maluna o ko'u wahi moe: aia hoi, ua ike au, he laau iwaenakonu o ka honua, a o kona kiekie, ua oi nui loa aku ia.
I had a vision upon my bed; and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.
11 Ulu ae la ua laau la a nui; o kona kiekie ua hiki aku ia i ka lani, a ua ike hoi ia ma na kihi a pau o ka honua.
The tree grew large and strong, and its height reached to the sky, and its extent to the extremity of the whole earth:
12 O na lau ona ua maikai ia, a he nui no hoi kona hua, aia hoi maloko ona he ai na na mea a pau; ua hoomaluia na holoholona o ke kula malalo iho ona, ua kau mai hoi na manu o ka lewa maluna o kona mau lala, a ua hanaiia na mea io a pau i ko ua laau la.
its leaves were fair, and its fruit abundant, and in it was meat for all; and under it the wild beasts of the field took shelter, and the birds of the sky lodged in the branches of it, and all flesh was fed of it.
13 Ua ike au ma ka lia ana o kuu poo maluna iho o ko'u wahi moe, aia hoi, he mea kiai a he mea hemolele e iho mai ana mai ka lani mai:
I saw in the night vision upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven and cried aloud, and thus he said,
14 Kahea mai la oia me ka leo nui, a penei hoi kana olelo ana, E kua aku i ka laau, a e okioki i kona mau lala, e lulu aku i kona lau, a e hoohelelei hoi i kona hua; e haalele na holoholona i kona malu, a me na manu hoi i kona mau lala.
Cut down the tree, and pluck off its branches, and shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the wild beasts be removed from under it, and the birds from its branches.
15 Aka, e waiho i ke kumu okona aa ma ka lepo, me ke apo hao, a me ke keleawe, mawaena o na mea uliuli o ke kula; a e hoopuluia oia i ka hau o ka lani, o kona kuleana aia no ia me na holoholona ma ka mauu o ka honua.
Only leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and [bind it] with an iron and brass band; and it shall lie in the grass that is without and in the dew of heaven, and its portion [shall be] with the wild beasts in the grass of the field.
16 E hooliloia kona naau kanaka, a e haawiia ia ia ka naau holoholona; a hala ae na manawa ehiku maluna ona.
His heart shall be changed from that of man, and the heart of a wild beast shall be given to him; and seven times shall pass over him.
17 O ka manao paa keia o na mea kiai, a o ke kauoha hoi a na mea hemolele; i ike ai ka poe e ola ana aia maluna o ke aupuni kanaka ka Mea kiekie e alii ana a haawi aku no oia ia mea na ka mea ana e makemake ai, a hoonoho maluna iho i na kanaka lalo loa.
The matter is by the decree of the watcher, and the demand is a word of the holy ones; that the living may known that the Lord is most high [over] the kingdom of men, and he will give it to whoever he shall please, and will set up over it that which is set at nothing of men.
18 Eia ka moe a'u a ke alii a Ne bukaneza i ike ai: ano e Beletesa za, e hai mai oe ia'u i ka hoike; no ka mea, aole e hiki i ka poe naauao a pau o ko'u aupuni ke hoakaka mai i ka hoike: aka, e hiki no ia oe, no ka mea, aia iloko ou ka uhane o na akua hemolele.
This is the vision which I king Nabuchodonosor saw: and do you, Baltasar, declare the interpretation, for none of the wise men of my kingdom are able to show me the interpretation of it: but you, Daniel, are able; for the Holy Spirit of God is in you.
19 Alaila pilipu iho la o Daniela i kapaia o Beletesaza i hookahi hora, a pono ole kona manao. Ekemu mai la ke alii, i mai, E Beletesaza, mai pilipu kou manao no ka moe, a me kona ano. I aku la o Beletesaza, E ko'u haku, i ka poe i hoino mai ia oe keia moe, a o ka hoohalike ana i kou poe enemi no ia.
Then Daniel, whose name is Baltasar, was amazed about one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. And Baltasar answered and said, [My] lord, let the dream be to them that hate you, and the interpretation of it to your enemies.
20 O ka laau au i ike ai, he nui. a he ikaika, o kona kiekie i hiki aku i ka lani, a ua ikeia hoi ia e ko ka honua a pau;
The tree which you saw, that grew large and strong, whose height reached to the sky and its extent to all the earth;
21 O na lau ona he maikai, a nui kona hua, a maloko ona he ai na na mea a pau; a i hoomaluhia ai na holoholona o ke kula malalo iho ona, a maluna o kona mau lala i kau ai na manu o ka lewa:
and whose leaves were flourishing, and its fruit abundant, (and it was meat for all; under it the wild beasts lodged, and the birds of the sky took shelter in its branches: )
22 O oe no ia, e ke alii, ua mahuahua oe a lilo i mea ikaika; no ka mea, ua mahuahua kou nui a hiki i ka lani, a o kou alii ana i ka welau o ka honua.
is yourself, O king; for you are grown great and powerful, and your greatness has increased and reached to heaven, and your dominion to the ends of the earth.
23 A o kau ike ana, e ke alii, i ka mea kiai, he mea hemolele e iho mai ana, mai ka lani mai, e olelo ana, E kua aku i ka laau, a e hoopau ia ia; aka, e waiho i ke kumu o kona aa ma ka lepo, me ke apo hao a me ke keleawe, mawaena o na mea uliuli o ke kula; a e hoopuluia i ka hau o ka lani, o kona kuleana aia no ia me na holoholona o ke kula, a hala aku na manawa ehiku maluna iho ona;
And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and he said, Strip the tree, and destroy it; only leave the stump of its roots in the ground, and [bind it] with a band of iron and brass; and it shall lie in the grass that is without, and in the dew of heaven, and its portion shall be with wild beasts, until seven times have passed over it;
24 Eia ka hoike ana, e ke alii e, a eia hoi ka manao paa o ka Mea kiekie, ka mea e kau mai ana maluna o kuu haku ke alii:
this is the interpretation of it, O king, and it is a decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king.
25 E kipaku lakou ia oe mai na kanaka aku, a o kou wahi e noho ai aia no ia me na holoholona o ke kula, a e ai iho oe i ka weuweu e like me na bipi kauo, a e hoopuluia no hoi oe i ka hau o ka lani, a ha la na manawa ehiku maluna ou, a ike oe e alii ana ka Mea kiekie maluna o ke aupuni kanaka, a haawi aku no oia ia mea i kana mea e manao ai.
And they shall drive you forth from men, and your dwelling shall be with wild beasts, and they shall feed you with grass as an ox, and you shall have your lodging under the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, until you known that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and will give it to whom he shall please.
26 A e like me ka mea i oleloia, e waihoia ke kumu o na aa o ua laau la; eia, a ike oe no na lani mai ke alii ana, alaila e paa ai ia oe kou aupuni.
And whereas they said, Leave the stumps of the roots of the tree; your kingdom abides [sure] to you from the time that you shall know the power of the heavens.
27 No ia mea, e ke alii e, e haliu oluolu mai oe i ko'u manao, a e huli oe mai kou hewa mai i ka pono, a mai kou lawehala ana i ka manawalea aku i ka poe hune; pela paha e hooloihiia mai ai kou manawa pono.
Therefore, O king, let my counsel please you, and atone for your sins by alms, and [your] iniquities by compassion on the poor: it may be God will be longsuffering to your trespasses.
28 A kau mai no keia mau mea a pau maluna o Nebukaneza ke alii.
All these things came upon king Nabuchodonosor.
29 A pau na malama he umi kumamalua e holoholo ana no ia maluna o ka halealii o ke aupuni o Babulona;
After a twelvemonth, as he walked in his palace in Babylon,
30 Olelo iho la ke alii, i iho la, Aole anei keia o Babulona nui ka mea a'u i kukulu ai i hale no ke aupuni, me ka ikaika o ko'u mana, a no ka hanohano o ko'u nani?
the king answered and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for a royal residence, by the might of my power, for the honor of my glory?
31 Aia iloko o ko ke alii waha keia olelo, pae mai la ka leo mai ka lani mai, i mai la, E Nebukaneza, e ke alii e, ua olelo ia ia oe, Ua maalo ae ke aupuni mai ou aku.
While the word was yet in the king's mouth, there came a voice from heaven, [saying], To you, king Nabuchodonosor, they say, The kingdom has departed from you.
32 A e kipakuia no oe mai na kanaka aku, a o kou wahi e noho ai aia pu no ia me na holoholona o ke kula; a e hanaiia oe i ka mauu e like me na bipi kauo, a hala mai maluna ou na manawa ehiku; a ike oe o ka Mea kiekie oia ke alii ma ke aupuni o kanaka, a e haawiia no ia i kana mea e manao ai.
And they [shall] drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the wild beasts of the field, and they shall feed you with grass as an ox: and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and he will give it to whoever he shall please.
33 Ia hora no, ua ko ia olelo maluna o Nebukaneza: ua kipakuia oia mai na kanaka aku, na ai iho no ia i ka mauu e like me na bipi kauo, ua pulu kona kino i ka hau o ka laui, a loloa kona hulu e like me na hulu o ka aeto, a o kona mau maiuu ua like me na maiuu o na manu.
In the same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor: and he was driven forth from men, and he ate grass as an ox, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven, until his hairs were grown like lions' [hairs], and his nails as birds' [claws].
34 I ka pau ana o ua mau la la, owau o Nebukaneza, ua leha ae au i kuu mau maka i ka lani, a hoi mai ia'u kuu ike; a hoomaikai aku au i ka Mea kiekie, hoonani aku au, a hoomana hoi i ka Mea e oia mau ana, ua mau loa kona alii ana, a o koua aupuni ia hanauna aku a ia hanauna aku.
And at the end of the time I Nabuchodonosor lifted up mine eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised him that lives for ever, and gave [him] glory; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [lasts] to all generations:
35 A ua manaoia ko ka honua a pau he mea ole; ua hana no hoi oia e like me kona makemake mawaena o na puali o ka lani, a me ko ka honua; aole e hiki i kekahi ke hoopaa aku i kona lima, aole hoi e olelo aku ia ia, Heaha kau e hana nei?
and all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none who shall withstand his power, and say to him, What has you done?
36 Ia manawa no ua hoi mai ia'u kuu manao; a me ka hanohano o ko'u aupuni, ua hoi mai ia'u kuu nani a me kuu naauao; a launa mai ia'u kuu, poe kakaolelo, a me ko'u poe kaukaualii; ua paa hou au ma kuu aupuni, a ua hoonui hoi ia kuu hanohano.
At the same time my reason returned to me, and I came to the honor of my kingdom; and my [natural] form returned to me, and my princes, and my nobles, sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and more abundant majesty was added to me.
37 Ano owau o Nebukaneza ke hoonani aku nei au, ke hoolea aku hoi me ka mahalo i ke Alii o ka lani, o kana mau hana ua pau i ka oiaio, a o kona mau aoao ua pololei loa; a o ka poe e hele ana ma ka haaheo, e hiki no ia ia ke hoohaahaa iho ia lakou.
Now therefore I Nabuchodonosor praise and greatly exalt and glorify the King of heaven; for all his works are true, and his paths are judgment: and all that walk in pride he is able to abase.
