Daniel 1
1 In the third year of the rule of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem, shutting it in with his forces.
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 into his hands Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he took them away into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he put the vessels into the store-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 gave orders to Ashpenaz, the captain of his unsexed servants, to take in some of the children of Israel, certain of the king's family, and those of high birth;
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 Young men who were strong and healthy, good-looking, and trained in all wisdom, having a good education and much knowledge, and able to take positions in the king's house; and to have them trained in the writing and language of the Chaldaeans.
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 a regular amount of food and wine every day from the king's table was ordered for them by the king; and they were to be cared for for three years so that at the end of that time they might take their places 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 And among these there were, of the children 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 captain of the unsexed servants gave them names; to Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar, to Hananiah the name of Shadrach, to Mishael the name of Meshach, and to Azariah the name of Abed-nego.
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 And Daniel had come to the decision that he would not make himself unclean with the king's food or wine; so he made a request to the captain of the unsexed servants that he might not make himself unclean.
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 And God put into the heart of the captain of the unsexed servants kind feelings and pity for Daniel.
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 captain of the unsexed servants said to Daniel, I am in fear of my lord the king, who has given orders about your food and your drink; what if he sees you looking less happy than the other young men of your generation? then you would have put my head in danger from 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 keeper in whose care the captain of the unsexed servants had put 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 Put your servants to the test for ten days; let them give us grain for our food and water for our 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 take a look at our faces and the faces of the young men who have food from the king's table; and, having seen them, do to your servants as it seems right to you.
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 gave ear to them in this thing and put them to the test for 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 faces seemed fairer and they were fatter in flesh than all the young men who had their food from the king's table.
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 keeper regularly took away their meat and the wine which was to have been their drink, and gave them grain.
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 young men, God gave them knowledge and made them expert in all book-learning and wisdom: and Daniel was wise 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 Now at the end of the time fixed by the king for them to go in, the captain of the unsexed servants took them in to 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 had talk with them; and among them all there was no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; so they were given places 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 any business needing wisdom and good sense, about which the king put questions to them, he saw that they were ten times better than all the wonder-workers and users of secret arts in all his kingdom.
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 went on till the first year of King Cyrus.
Ola ae la o Daniela a hiki i ka makahiki mua o ko Kuro alii ana.
