Taniela 7
1 ʻI he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Pelesasa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻe mamata ʻa Taniela ki he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ki hono ʻulu ʻi hono mohenga; pea naʻa ne tohi ʻae misi, pea ne fakahā ʻa hono fakamatala.
In the first year of Baltasar, king of the Chaldeans Daniel had a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed: and he wrote his dream.
2 Naʻe lea ʻa Taniela ʻo ne pehē, “Ne u mamata ʻi he meʻa hā mai kiate au ʻi he pō, pea vakai, naʻe fetakai mālohi ʻae feituʻu matangi ʻe fā ʻoe langi ʻi he Tahi Lahi.
I Daniel saw, and, behold, the four winds of heaven blew violently upon the great sea.
3 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake mei loto tahi ʻae fanga manu ʻe fā, naʻe taki taha hono anga pe ʻoʻona.
And there came up four great beasts out of the sea, differing from one another.
4 Ko e ʻuluaki, naʻe hangē ha laione, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kapakau ʻoe ʻikale: pea ne u vakai, mo ʻene fusi ʻa hono ongo kapakau, pea naʻe hiki hake ia mei he kelekele, pea naʻe fokotuʻu ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻo hangē ha tangata, pea naʻe tuku ki ai ʻae loto ʻoe tangata.
The first [was] as a lioness, and her wings as an eagle's; I saw until her wings were plucked, ands she was lifted off from the earth, and she stood on human feet, and a man's heart was given to her.
5 Pea vakai, ko e manu kehe ko hono ua, naʻe hangē ha pea, pea ne hiki hake ʻe ia ia ʻo fakapalataha pe, pea naʻe ʻi hono ngutu ʻae nifo lōloa ʻe tolu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo hono ngaahi nifo: pea naʻa nau lea ki ai ʻo pehē, ‘Tuʻu hake ʻo kai ʻae kakano lahi.’
And, behold, a second beast like a bear, and it supported itself on one side, and there were three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth: and thus they said to it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6 Pea hili ia ne u mamata, pea vakai, ko e taha kehe, naʻe hangē ha lēpati, ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono tuʻa ʻae kapakau ʻe fā ʻoe manupuna; pea naʻe ʻi he manu foki ʻae ʻulu ʻe fā; pea naʻe foaki ki ai ʻae pule.
After this one I looked, and behold another wild beast as a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird upon it: and the wild beast had four heads, and power was given to it.
7 Hili ia ne u mamata ʻi he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ʻi he pō, pea vakai ko hono fā ʻoe manu, naʻe fakamanavahē ia mo fakaʻulia, mo mālohi ʻaupito; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi nifo ukamea lahi: naʻe fakaʻauha mo maumauʻi ʻe ia, pea ne malaki ʻae toenga ʻaki hono vaʻe, pea naʻe kehe ia mei he fanga manu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae nifo ʻe hongofulu.
After this one I looked, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong, and its teeth were of iron; devouring and crushing to atoms, and it trampled the remainder with its feet: and it was altogether different from the beasts that were before it; and it [had] ten hours.
8 Pea ʻi heʻeku sio fakamamaʻu ki he ngaahi nifo, pea vakai, naʻe tupu hake ʻi ai ha kihi nifo siʻi ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe taʻaki fuʻu hake mei hono ʻao ʻae nifo ʻe tolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻuluaki nifo; pea vakai, naʻe ʻi he nifo ni ʻae mata ʻo hangē ko e mata ʻoe tangata, mo e ngutu naʻe lea fielahi.
I noticed his horns, and behold, another little horn came up in the midst of them, and before it three of the former horns were rooted out: and, behold, [there were] eyes as the eyes of a man in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 Pea naʻaku mamata ai pe mo ʻene lī hifo ʻae ngaahi nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho, naʻe hinehina hono kofu ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina, pea ko hono louʻulu naʻe hangē ko e fulufuluʻi sipi lelei: ko hono ʻafioʻanga naʻe hangē ko e afi ulo, pea ko hono ngaahi teka naʻe hangē ko e afi vela.
I saw until the thrones were set, and the Ancient of days sat; and his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head, as pure wool: his throne was a flame of fire, [and] his wheels burning fire.
10 Naʻe tupu mai mo tafe mei hono ʻao ʻae afi: naʻe tauhi kiate ia ʻae toko afe lauʻi ʻe he ngaahi toko afe, pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao ʻae toko mano lauʻi toko mano: naʻe fokotuʻu ʻae fakamaau, pea naʻe folahi ʻae ngaahi tohi.
A stream of fire rushed forth before him: thousand thousands ministered to him, and ten thousands of myriads, attended upon him: the judgement sat, and the books were opened.
11 Pea naʻaku tokanga lahi koeʻuhi ko e leʻo mo e lea fielahi ʻae nifo. Pea naʻaku tokanga ʻo aʻu ki hono tāmateʻi ʻoe manu, mo e fakaʻauha ʻo hono sino, mo e tuku ia ki he afi vela.
I saw then because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke, until the wild beast was slain and destroyed, and his body given to be burnt with fire.
12 Pea koeʻuhi ko hono toe ʻoe fanga manu, naʻe toʻo ʻenau pule meiate kinautolu: ka naʻe fakatolonga ʻenau moʻui ke fuoloa ange, pea ki ha kuonga.
And the dominion of the rest of the wild beasts was taken away; but a prolonging of life was given them for certain times.
13 Ne u mamata ʻi he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ʻi he pō, pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ha tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi ʻao ʻoe langi ʻo hangē ko e foha ʻoe tangata, pea ne haʻu kiate ia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho, pea naʻa nau ʻomi
I saw in the night vision, and, behold, [one] coming with the clouds of heaven as the Son of man, and he came on to the Ancient of days, and was brought near to him.
14 Pea naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻae pule, mo e nāunau, mo ha puleʻanga, koeʻuhi ke tauhi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi kakai kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e ngaahi lea: ko e pule taʻengata ʻa ʻene pule, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai mole, pea ko hono puleʻanga ʻe ʻikai fakaʻauha.
And to him was given the dominion, and the honour, and the kingdom; and all nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed.
15 “Ko au Taniela, ne u mamahi ʻi hoku laumālie mo hoku loto, pea naʻe fakamamahiʻi au ʻe he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ki hoku ʻulu.
[As for] me Daniel, my spirit in my body trembled, and the visions of my head troubled me.
16 Pea naʻaku ʻunuʻunu atu ki he tokotaha ʻokinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ai, pea ne u fehuʻi kiate ia ki hono moʻoni ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni. Ko ia naʻa ne talamai, pea ne fakahā mai kiate au hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.
And I drew near to one of them that stood by, and I sought to learn of him the truth of all these things: and he told me the truth, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.
17 Ko e fanga manu lalahi ni, ʻaia ʻoku toko fā, ko e tuʻi ia ʻe toko fā ʻaia ʻe tupu hake ʻi māmani.
These four beasts are four kingdoms [that] shall rise up on the earth:
18 Ka ʻe lavaʻi ʻae puleʻanga ʻe he kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga, pea te nau maʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻo lauikuonga, ʻio, ke taʻengata pea taʻengata.
which shall be taken away; and the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess it for ever and ever.
19 Pea ne u fieʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻo hono fā ʻoe manu, ʻaia naʻe taha kehe mo e fanga manu kotoa pē, ʻo fakamanavahēʻia, ʻaia naʻe ukamea hono kau nifo, pea ko e palasa hono pesipesi; ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha, mo maumauʻi, pea naʻe malaki ʻae toenga ʻaki hono vaʻe;
Then I enquired carefully concerning the fourth beast; for it differed from every [other] beast, exceeding dreadful: its teeth were of iron, and its claws of brass, devouring, and utterly breaking to pieces, and it trampled the remainder with its feet:
20 Pea mo e ngaahi nifo ʻe hongofulu ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono ʻulu, pea ʻoe taha kehe ʻaia naʻe tupu hake, pea naʻe tō ʻi hono ʻao ʻae toko tolu; ʻio, ʻae nifo ko ia, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mata, pea mo e ngutu naʻe lea fielahi ʻaupito, ʻaia naʻe matamata mālohi ʻi heʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa.
and concerning it ten horns that were in its head, and the other that came up, and rooted up [some] of the former, which had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and his look was bolder than the rest.
21 Ne u vakai, pea naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻe he nifo ko ia ki he kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ne lavaʻi ʻakinautolu.
I saw, and that horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 Kaeʻoua ke hoko mai ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho, pea naʻe tuku ʻae fakamaau totonu ki he kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga; pea naʻe hokosia ʻae kuonga naʻe maʻu ʻe he kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻae puleʻanga.
until the Ancient of days came, and he gave judgement to the saints of the Most High; and the time came on, and the saints possessed the kingdom.
23 Pea naʻe pehē ʻa ʻene lea, Ko hono fā ʻoe manu ʻe hoko ia ko hono fā ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻi māmani, ʻaia ʻe kehe mo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea te ne fakaʻauha ʻa māmani kotoa pē, pea malaki hifo ia, pea maumauʻi.
And he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on the earth, which shall excel all [other] kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and trample and destroy it.
24 Pea ko e ngaahi nifo ʻe hongofulu mei he puleʻanga ni, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻe toko hongofulu ia ʻaia ʻe tupu: pea ʻe tupu mo ha taha kimui ʻiate kinautolu, pea ʻe kehe ia mo e ʻuluaki, pea te ne lavaʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko tolu.
And his ten horns are ten kings [that] shall arise: and after them shall arise another, who shall exceed all the former ones in wickedness and he shall subdue three kings.
25 Pea ʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi lea fielahi ki he Fungani Māʻolunga, pea te ne fakaongosia ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga, pea ʻe mahalo ʻe ia ke ne fakakehe ʻae ngaahi kuonga mo e ngaahi fono: pea ʻe tuku ia ki hono nima ʻi ha kuonga mo e kuonga ʻe ua, mo e vaeua mālie ʻoe kuonga.
And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change times and law: and [power] shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.
26 Ka ʻe fakanofo ʻae fakamaau, pea te nau toʻo ʻa ʻene pule, ke fakaʻauha mo maumauʻi ia, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga.
And the judgement has sat, and they shall remove [his] dominion to abolish it, and to destroy it utterly.
27 Ka ko e puleʻanga mo e pule, pea mo e nāunau ʻoe puleʻanga ʻi he lalo langi kotoa pē, ʻe tuku ki he kakai ko e kau māʻoniʻoni ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga, pea ko hono puleʻanga ko e puleʻanga taʻengata, pea ʻe tauhi mo talangofua kiate ia ʻae ngaahi pule kotoa pē.
And the kingdom and the power and the greatness of the kings that are under the whole heaven were given to the saints of the Most High; and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all powers shall serve and obey him.
28 Ko eni ʻae ngataʻanga ʻoe meʻa. Ka ko au Taniela ko ʻeku ngaahi fakakaukau naʻaku mātuʻaki mamahi ai, pea naʻe fakakehe hoku mata ʻiate au: ka naʻaku fakafufū ʻae meʻa ni ʻi hoku loto.”
Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance was changed: but I kept the matter in my heart.
