< Daniel 4 >

1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
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.
2 I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.
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.
3 How great [are] his signs! and how mighty [are] his wonders! his kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion [is] from generation to generation.
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.
4 I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:
Owau, o Nebukaneza, ua noho maluhia au iloko o ko'u hale, a pomaikai no au ma kuu halealii;
5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
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.
6 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise [men] of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.
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.
7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.
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.
8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom [is] the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, [saying],
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;
9 O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.
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.
10 Thus [were] the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof [was] great.
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.
11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:
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.
12 The leaves thereof [were] fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it [was] meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.
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.
13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;
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:
14 He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:
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.
15 Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] his portion [be] with the beasts in the grass of the earth:
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.
16 Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.
E hooliloia kona naau kanaka, a e haawiia ia ia ka naau holoholona; a hala ae na manawa ehiku maluna ona.
17 This matter [is] by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
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.
18 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise [men] of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou [art] able; for the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee.
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.
19 Then Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream [be] to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
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.
20 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;
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;
21 Whose leaves [were] fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it [was] meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:
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:
22 It [is] thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
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.
23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] his portion [be] with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;
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;
24 This [is] the interpretation, O king, and this [is] the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:
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:
25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
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.
26 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.
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.
27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
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.
28 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
A kau mai no keia mau mea a pau maluna o Nebukaneza ke alii.
29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
A pau na malama he umi kumamalua e holoholo ana no ia maluna o ka halealii o ke aupuni o Babulona;
30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
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?
31 While the word [was] in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
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.
32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling [shall be] with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
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.
33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ [feathers], and his nails like birds’ [claws].
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.
34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [is] from generation to generation:
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.
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth [are] reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and [among] the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
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?
36 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
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.
37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works [are] truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
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.
