Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
I KA makahiki ekolu o ke au ia Iehoiakima ke alii o Iuda, hele mai la o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona i Ierusalema, a hoopuni aku la ia wahi.
2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God. And he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god, and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.
A haawi aku la ke Akua iloko o kona lima ia Iehoiakima ke alii o Iuda, a me kekahi mau ipu o ka hale o ke Akua, a lawe aku la oia ia mau mea i ka aina i Sinara i ka hale o kona akua; a hookomo 'o ia i na ipu iloko o ka hale waihonawaiwai o kona akua iho.
3 And the king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in certain of the sons of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the ranking men,
Olelo aku la ke alii ia Asepenaza ka luna o ka poe i poaia, e alakai mai i kekahi o ka poe mamo a Iseraela, na keiki alii, a me na kaukaualii;
4 youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace. And that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
Na keiki kina ole, a maikai ke nana aku, a akamai ma na mea a pau i aoia mai, a he poe ike i na mea ikeia a naauao hoi ma na mea e akamai ai, ka poe i makaukau, i ku aku lakou iloko o ka hale o ke alii, i aoia mai ai lakou ma ka palapala, a me ka olelo a ka poe Kaledea.
5 And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's food, and of the wine which he drank. And that they should be nourished three years, that at the end of it they should stand before the king.
A kauoha ae la ke alii i ai na lakou no kela la keia la, ma ka ai a ke alii, a me ka waina ana i inu ai; i kupaluia lakou i na makahiki ekolu, a mahope e ku aku lakou imua o ke alii.
6 Now among these were, of the sons of Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Aia mawaena o lakou kekahi poe o na keiki a Iuda, o Daniela, o Hanania, o Misaela, a me Azaria.
7 And the ruler of the eunuchs gave names to them. To Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar, and to Hananiah, of Shadrach, and to Mishael, of Meshach, and to Azariah, of Abednego.
Kapa ae la ka luna o ka poe i poaia i mau inoa hou no lakou; kapa ae la oia i ko Daniela o Beletesaza; i ko Hanania o Saderaka; i ko Misaela o Mesaka; a me ko Azaria o Abedenego.
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's food, nor with the wine which he drank. Therefore he requested of the ruler of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Ua paa ko Daniela manao aole e hoohaumia ia ia iho ma ka ai a ke alii, a me ka waina ana i inu ai: a noi aku la oia i ka luna o ka poe i poaia i hoohaumia ole oia ia ia iho malaila.
9 Now God made Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the ruler of the eunuchs.
Ua haawi mai ke Akua ia Daniela i ka lokomaikai a me ke aloha nui ia mai imua o ka luna o ka poe i poaia.
10 And the ruler of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink. For why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? So ye would endanger my head with the king.
Olelo mai la ka luna o ka poe i poaia ia Daniela, Ua makau au i kuu haku i ke alii, ka mea i kauoha mae i ka oukou ai, a me ka oukou mea e inu ai. Pehea la uanei e ike mai ai ke alii i ko oukou mau maka ua inoino mamua aku o na maka o na kamalii me oukou pu? Malaila, e hoohewa ai oukou i kuu poo i ke alii.
11 Then Daniel said to the steward whom the ruler of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
I aku la o Daniela i ke kuene, ka mea a ka luna o ka poe i poaia i hoonoho ai maluna o Daniela, a me Hanania, a me Misaela, a me Azaria.
12 Test thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.
E hoao mai i kau mau kauwa i na la he umi, a e haawi mai oe na makou i na laauikiai e ai, a me ka wai e inu.
13 Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king's food. And as thou see, deal with thy servants.
Alaila e ikeia'i imua ou ko makou mau maka, a me na maka o na kamalii ka poe i ai i ka ai a ke alii; a e like me kou ike ana, pela no e hana mai ai oe i kau mau kauwa nei.
14 So he hearkened to them in this matter, and tested them ten days.
A ao mai la no oia i ka lakou ma keia mea, a hoao iho la ia lakou i na la he umi.
15 And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared finer, and they were fuller in flesh, than all the youths who ate of the king's dainties.
A i ka hope o ua mau la la he umi, ua ikeia ko lakou mau maka, ua maikai, ua momona ka io mamua o ko na kamalii a pau i ai i ka ai a ke alii.
16 So the steward took away their food, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them vegetables.
Alaila, lawe aku la ke kuene i ua ai la a lakou, a me ka waina i haawiia mai i mea inu, a haawi ia lakou i ka laauikiai wale no.
17 Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom. And Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
A o keia mau keiki eha, haawi mai la ke Akua ia lakou i ka ike, a me ke akamai ma na mea a pau i palapalaia, a me ka naauao; a o Daniela, ua ike oia i ka hoakaka i na akaku a pau a me na moe uhane.
18 And at the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the ruler of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
A i ka pau ana o na la a ke alii i olelo ai i alakaiia mai lakou, alaila, alakai aku la ka luna o ka poe i poaia ia lakou imua o Nebukaneza.
19 And the king conversed with them. And among them all none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore they stood before the king.
A kamailio pu ke alii me lakou; aole nae i loaa iwaena o lakou a pau kekahi mea e like me Daniela, a me Hanania, a me Misaela, a me Azaria. A ku aku la lakou imua o ke alii.
20 And in every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm.
Ma na mea naauao a pau loa, a me na mea e akamai ai a ko alii i imi ai ia lakou, ua maopopo ia, ua oi pa umi aku ko lakou naauao mamua o na magoi a pau, a me na kilo ma kona aupuni a pau.
21 And Daniel continued even to the first year of king Cyrus.
Ola ae la o Daniela a hiki i ka makahiki mua o ko Kuro alii ana.
