Daniel 6
1 It pleased Darius, and so he appointed over the kingdom one hundred twenty governors, to be placed throughout his 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 these, three leaders, of whom Daniel was one, so that the governors would be accountable to them and the king would have no trouble.
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 And so Daniel excelled above all the leaders and governors, because a greater spirit of God was in him.
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 Furthermore, the king considered setting him over the entire kingdom; whereupon the leaders and the governors sought to find a complaint against Daniel and in favor of the king. And they could find no case, or even suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault or suspicion was 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 Therefore, these men said, “We will not find any complaint against this Daniel, unless it is against 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 the leaders and governors took the king aside privately and spoke to him in this way: “King Darius, live forever.
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 leaders of your kingdom, the magistrates and governors, the senators and judges, have taken counsel that an imperial decree and edict should be published, so that all who ask any petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, will 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, therefore, O king, confirm this judgment and write the decree, so that what is established by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor will any man be allowed to transgress it.”
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 And so king Darius set forth the decree and established it.
No ia mea, kakau iho la o Dariu ke alii i kona inoa ma ka palapala o ua kanawai la.
10 Now when Daniel learned of this, namely, that the law had been established, he entered his house, and, opening the windows in his upper room towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and he adored and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do previously.
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 Therefore, these men, inquiring diligently, discovered that Daniel was praying and making supplication to 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 And they approached and spoke to the king about the edict. “O king, did you not decree that every man who makes a request to any of the gods or men for thirty days, except to yourself, O king, would be cast into the den of lions?” To which the king replied, saying, “The sentence is true, and according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, it is not lawful to violate it.”
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 they answered and said before the king, “Daniel, of the sons of the captivity of Judah, is not concerned about your law, nor about the decree that you have established, but three times a day he prays his supplication.”
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 Now when the king had heard these words, he was greatly grieved, and, on behalf of Daniel, he set his heart to free him, and he labored even until sunset 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 But these men, knowing the king, said to him, “You know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is that every decree which the king has established may not be altered.”
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. And the king said to Daniel, “Your God, whom you always serve, he himself will free you.”
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 it was placed over the mouth of the den, which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, so that no one would act against 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 And the king departed into his house, and he went to bed without eating, and food was not set before him, moreover, even 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, getting himself up at first light, went quickly to 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 coming near to the den, he cried out with a tearful voice to Daniel and spoke to him. “Daniel, servant of the living God, your God, whom you serve always, do you believe he has prevailed to free you 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 And Daniel, answering the king, said, “O king, live forever.
I mai la o Daniela i ke alii, E ke alii, e ola mau loa oe.
22 My God has sent his angel, and he has closed the mouths of the lions, and they have not harmed me, because before him justice has been found in me, and, even before you, O king, I have committed no offense.”
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 exceedingly glad for him, and he commanded that Daniel should be taken out of the den. And Daniel was taken out of the den, and no wound was found in him, because he believed 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 Moreover, by order of the king, those men were brought who had accused Daniel, and they were cast into the lions’ den, they, and their sons, and their wives, and they did not reach the bottom of the den before the lions seized them and crushed all their bones.
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 to all peoples, tribes, and languages dwelling in all the land. “May peace be increased with 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 It is hereby established by my decree that, in all my empire and my kingdom, they shall begin to tremble and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God forever, and his kingdom will not be destroyed, and his power will last forever.
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 is the liberator and the savior, performing signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, who has freed Daniel from the lions’ den.”
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 Thereafter, Daniel continued through the reign of Darius until 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.
