Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the message was true, even a great warfare. He understood the message, and had understanding of the vision.
ʻI hono tolu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, naʻe ai ha meʻa naʻe fakahā kia Taniela, ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Pelitisasa; pea naʻe moʻoni ʻae meʻa, ka naʻe fuoloa ʻae kuonga naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ki ai, pea naʻa ne poto ʻi he meʻa, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻoe meʻa hā mai.
2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.
ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ko au Taniela ne u mamahi ʻi he uike kātoa ʻe tolu.
3 I ate no pleasant food. No meat or wine came into my mouth. I did not anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Naʻe ʻikai te u kai ʻae mā melie, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻi hoku ngutu ʻae kanomate pe ha uaine, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te u takai au, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae uike ʻe tolu.
4 In the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
Pea ʻi hono uofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina, ʻi heʻeku nofo ʻi he veʻe vaitafe lahi, ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Hitikeli;
5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was adorned with pure gold of Uphaz.
Ne u hanga hake ai hoku mata ʻo sio, pea vakai, ko e tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, pea naʻe noʻo hono noʻotanga vala ʻaki ʻae koula lelei ʻo ʻUfasi:
6 His body also was like beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches. His arms and his feet were like burnished bronze. The voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.
Ko hono sino foki naʻe hangē ko e pelili, pea ko hono mata naʻe hangē ko e ʻuhila, pea mo hono ongo mata naʻe hangē ko e ongo maama afi, pea ko hono nima mo hono vaʻe, naʻe ulo ʻo tatau mo e palasa kuo fakangingila, pea ko hono leʻo ʻi heʻene lea, naʻe hangē ko e leʻo ʻoe tokolahi.
7 I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
Pea ko au Taniela ne u mamata tokotaha pe ki he meʻa hā mai: he ko e kau tangata naʻe ʻi ai mo au naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata ki he meʻa hā mai; ka naʻe hoko ʻae manavahē lahi kiate kinautolu, ko ia naʻa nau hola ke fakafufū ʻakinautolu.
8 So I was left alone and saw this great vision. No strength remained in me; for my face grew deathly pale, and I retained no strength.
Ko ia naʻe tuku tokotaha pe au, pea ne u mamata ki he meʻa lahi ni naʻe hā mai, pea naʻe ʻikai toe ha mālohi siʻi ʻiate au: he naʻe liliu ʻiate au ʻa ʻeku matamatalelei ʻo fakalielia, pea naʻe ʻikai te u kei maʻu ha mālohi.
9 Yet I heard the voice of his words. When I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
Ka naʻaku fanongo pe ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene ngaahi lea: pea ʻi heʻeku fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene ngaahi lea, naʻe lolotonga ia ʻae mohe maʻu ʻa hoku mata, ʻo fakafoʻohifo hoku mata ki he kelekele.
10 Behold, a hand touched me, which set me on my knees and on the palms of my hands.
Pea vakai, naʻe ala mai ha nima kiate au, mo ne fokotuʻu au ki hoku ongo tui mo hoku ʻaofi nima.
11 He said to me, “Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have been sent to you, now.” When he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
Pea ne pehē mai kiate au, “ʻE Taniela, ko e tangata ʻofeina lahi, ke ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe, pea ke tuʻu tonu: he kuo toki fekau au kiate koe.” Pea hili ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni kiate au, ne u tuʻu tetetete pe.
12 Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come for your words’ sake.
Pea ne toki pehē mai kiate au, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, Taniela: he kuo talu ʻae ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻaia naʻa ke tukupau ai ho loto ke ʻilo, pea naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe ongoʻi hoʻo ngaahi lea, pea koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi lea kuo u haʻu au.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me because I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Ka naʻe taʻofi au ʻe he ʻEiki ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo Peasia, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻe uofulu ma taha: kae vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻa Maikeli, ko e tokotaha ia ʻoku tuʻu ki muʻa, ke tokoni au; pea ne u nofo ai mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Peasia.
14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.”
Pea ko eni, kuo u haʻu ke fakahā kiate koe, ʻae meʻa e hoko ki hoʻo kakai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamui: he ʻoku kau ʻae meʻa hā mai ki he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.”
15 When he had spoken these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and was mute.
Pea ʻi heʻene lea pehē kiate au, ne u foʻohifo hoku mata ki he kelekele, pea ne u longo pe.
16 Behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, “My lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows have overtaken me, and I retain no strength.
Pea vakai, ko e tokotaha naʻe hangē ko ha taha ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata, naʻe ala mai ki hoku loungutu: pea ne u toki mafaʻa hoku ngutu, ʻo lea, pea ne u pehē kiate ia naʻe tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ko e meʻa ʻi he meʻa hā mai, kuo toe foki mai ʻeku mamahi kiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u kei maʻu ha mālohi.
17 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me. There was no breath left in me.”
He koeʻuhi ʻe faʻa alea fēfē ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻo hoku ʻEiki ni, mo hoku ʻEiki ni? He ko au eni, naʻe fakafokifā ʻoku ʻikai toe ha mālohi ʻiate au, pea kuo ʻosi foki mo ʻeku mānava.”
18 Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ha taha ʻo hangē ko ha tangata, ʻo ala mai kiate au, ʻo ne fakamālohi au,
19 He said, “Greatly beloved man, do not be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
Pea ne pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻE tangata ʻofeina lahi, ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē: fiemālie pe koe, pea ke mālohi, ʻio, ke ke mālohi.” Pea ʻi heʻene lea kiate au ne u mālohi, pea ne u pehē, “Ke lea pe ʻa hoku ʻEiki, he kuo ke fakamālohi au.”
20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia. When I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻeku haʻu kiate koe; pea ko eni, te u foki atu ke tau mo e tuʻi ʻo Peasia: pea ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu, vakai ʻe haʻu ʻae ʻeiki ʻo Kalisi.
21 But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth. There is no one who holds with me against these but Michael your prince.
Ka te u fakahā kiate koe ʻaia ʻoku tohi ʻi he tohi tapu moʻoni: pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha niʻihi ʻoku kau mo au ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni, ka ko Maikeli ko hoʻomou ʻeiki.”
