< Daniel 6 >

1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
HE mea pono i ka manao o Dariu e hoonoho maluna o ke aupuni i na alii he haneri a me ka iwakalua, e alii ai lakou maluna o ke aupuni a pau;
2 and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage.
A maluna o lakou i ekolu luna, o Daniela ka mua o lakou: i hoike mai keia mau alii i ka lakou mau mea i keia poe, i ole ai e poho ke alii i kekahi mea.
3 Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Alaila, ua hookiekieia o Daniela maluna o na luna a me na'lii, no ka mea, aia iloko ona he naau maikai loa; a manao iho la ke alii e hoonoho ia ia maluna o ke aupuni a pau loa.
4 Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
No ia mea, imi na luna me na'lii i ka hewa iloko o Daniela ma na mea o ke aupuni: aole nae i loaa ka hala a me ka hewa; no ka mea, ua kupono kana, aole i loaa iloko ona kekahi mea kekee a me ka hewa.
5 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
Olelo ae la ua poe la, Aole e loaa ia kakou kekahi hewa iloko o ua Daniela nei, i ole kakou e imi hala ma na mea e pili ana i ke kanawai o kona Akua.
6 Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
Alaila hoakoakoa ae la ua poe luna la, a me na alii imua o ke alii, a olelo aku la ia ia, E Dariu, e ke alii e, e ola mau loa oe.
7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counsellors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
Ua kukakuka pu na luna o ke aupuni, na kiaaina, a me na'lii, na kakaolelo, a me na luna koa, e kau i kanawai aupuni, i lilo ia i olelo paa, o ka mea e noi aku i kekahi akua, a i kekahi kanaka e paha, aole ia oe, e ke alii, a hala na la he kanakolu, e hooleiia aku ia iloko o ka lua liona.
8 Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
Ano, e ke alii e, e hana oe i olelo paa, a e kakau oe i kou inoa ma ua palapala la, i ole e hoololi ia, ma ko ke kanawai o ko Media a me ko Peresia, he mea luli ole.
9 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict.
No ia mea, kakau iho la o Dariu ke alii i kona inoa ma ka palapala o ua kanawai la.
10 And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem); and he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
A ike iho la o Daniela, ua kau ka inoa ma ua palapala la, komo iho la oia iloko o kona hale; a ua hamama kekahi mau puka makani o kona keena maluna, ma ka aoao e ku pono ana i Ierusalema, kukuli iho la oia ma kona kuli, ekolu manawa i ka la hookahi, pule aku la, a hoomaikai aku la imua o kona Akua, e like me ia mamua.
11 Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
Akoakoa ae la ua mau kanaka la, a loaa ia lakou o Daniela e pule ana, a e noi ana imua o kona Akua.
12 Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s interdict: Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every man that shall make petition unto any god or man within thirty days, save unto thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
Alaila hookokoke aku la lakou, a olelo aku imua o ke alii, no ko ke alii kanawai; Aole anei oe i kau i kou inoa ma ke kanawai, o ka mea i noi aku i kekahi akua, a i ke kahi kanaka e paha, aole ia oe, e ke alii, a hala na la he kanakolu, e hooleiia'ku oia iloko o ka lua liona? Hai mai la ke alii, i mai, He oiaio no ia, ma ko ke kanawai o ko Media, a me ko Peresia poe, ka mea i luli ole.
13 Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
Olelo aku lakou imua o ke alii, i aku la, O Danila, ka mea no ko Iuda poe pio, aole ia i manao ia oe, e ke alii, aole hoi i ke kanawai au i kau iho ai i kou iuoa, aka, ua noi aku oia ekolu pule ana i ka la hookahi.
14 Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to rescue him.
A lohe ke alii i keia olelo, huhu loa oia ia ia iho, a kau iho la i kona manao maluna o Daniela e hoopakele ia ia; a imi nui iho la ia a napo ka la i mea e hoopakele ia ia.
15 Then these men assembled together unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
Alaila akoakoa hou ae la ua poe kanaka la imua o ke alii, olelo aku la lakou i ke alii, i aku, E ike oe, e ke alii, o ke kanawai o ko Media, a me ko Peresia, peneia, aole e hoololiia kekahi olelo paa, a me ke kanawai a ke alii e kau iho ai.
16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. [Now] the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
A kauoha ae la ke alii, a ua laweia mai o Daniela, a hooleiia iho la oia iloko o ka lua liona. Olelo mai la ke alii ia Daniela, i mai la, O kou Akua, ka mea au i hoomana mau ai, e hoopakele no oia ia oe.
17 And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
Ua laweia no hoi he pohaku, a ua kauia maluna o ka puka o ua lua la; a hoailona ke alii ia mea me kona hoailona, a me ka hoailona o kona mau alii, i hookahuli ole ia ka manao ia Daniela.
18 Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep fled from him.
A i ko ke alii hoi ana i kona halealii, noho iho la oia ia po me ka ai ole i ka ai; aole hoi i laweia kana mau haiawahine imua ona, aole hoi oia i hiamoe iki.
19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
A ala ae la ke alii iluna i kakahiaka nui, a hele wikiwiki aku la ma ia lua liona.
20 And when he came near unto the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice; the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
A kokoke ia i ka lua, hea aku la ia me ka leo kaniuhu ia Daniela; kahea aku ke alii ia Daniela, i aku la, E Daniela, e ke kauwa a ke Akua ola, ua hiki anei i kou Akua, ka mea au i hookauwa mau aku ai, ke hoopakele ia oe mai na liona ae?
21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
I mai la o Daniela i ke alii, E ke alii, e ola mau loa oe.
22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
Ua hoouna mai ko'u Akua i kona anela e hoopaa mai i ka waha o na liona, i ole e hoeha mai lakou ia'u; no ka mea, imua ona aole hala iloko o'u, aole no hoi au i hana ino aku ia oe, e ke alii.
23 Then was the king exceeding glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.
Alaila, hauoli nui ke alii no Daniela, a kena aku la e huki ia ia mailoko mai o ka lua. A na hukiia o Daniela mailoko mai o ka lua, aole wahi eha i loaa ia ia, no ka mea, ua paulele aku no ia i kona Akua.
24 And the king commanded, and they brought those men that had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.
A kena aku la ke alii alakai mai i ka poe nana i niania wale aku ia Daniela, a e hoolei ia lakou iloko o ka lua liona, o lakou a me ka lakou mau keiki, a me ka lakou mau wahine; a lanakila na liona maluna o lakou, a ua hakihaki liilii loa ia ko lakou mau iwi mamua o ko lakou hiki ana ilalo o ka lua.
25 Then king Darius wrote unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.
Alaila, palapala aku la o Dariu ke alii i na lahuikanaka a pau, me ko na aina, a me na olelo e, ka poe i noho ma ka honua a puni; E mahuahuaia mai ko oukou maluhia.
26 I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, And his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
Ke kau nei au i olelo paa, i haalulu na kanaka ma na aina a pau o ko'u aupuni, i makau hoi imua o ke Akua o Daniela; no ka mea, oia ke Akua ola, ua paa mau loa ia, a o kona aupuni, oia ka mea e anai ole ia, a o kona alii ana, e mau loa ana ia.
27 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
Ke hoopakele mai nei oia, a hoola mai no hoi, ke hana mai nei oia i na hana mana, a me na mea kupaianaha ma ka lani a ma ka honua, oia ka i hoopakele mai ia Daniela mai ka ikaika o na liona mai.
28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Pela i noho maluhia ai o Daniela i ke au ia Dariu, a i ke au ia Kuro o ka Peresia.
