< Daniel 6 >

1 It seemed good to Darius, and he appointed over the kingdom a hundred and twenty governors to be over 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 three princes over them, of whom Daniel was one: that the governors might give an account to them, and the king might 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 Daniel excelled all the princes, 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 And the king thought to set him over all the kingdom: whereupon the princes, and the governors sought to find occasion against Daniel with regard to the king: and they could find no cause, nor suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault, nor 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 Then these men said: We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless perhaps concerning 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 princes, and the governors craftily suggested to the king, and spoke thus unto him: King Darius, live for ever:
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 princes of the kingdom, the magistrates, and governors, the senators, and judges have consulted together, that an imperial decree, and an edict be published: That whosoever shall ask any petition of any god, or man, for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall 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 the sentence, and sign the decree: that what is decreed by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor 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 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 knew this, that is to say, that the law was made, he went into his house: and opening the windows in his upper chamber towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and adored, and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do before.
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 Wherefore those men carefully watching him, found Daniel 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 came and spoke to the king concerning the edict: O king, hast thou not decreed, that every man that should make a request to any of the gods, or men, for thirty days, but to thyself, O king, should be cast into the den of the lions? And the king answered them, saying: The word is true according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, which it is not lawful to violate.
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, who is of the children of the captivity of Juda, hath not regarded thy law, nor the decree that thou hast made: but three times a day he maketh his prayer.
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 very much grieved, and in behalf of Daniel he set his heart to deliver him and even till sunset he laboured to save 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 those men perceiving the king’s design, said to him: Know thou, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree which the king hath made, may 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 the lions. And the king said to Daniel: Thy God, whom thou always servest, he will deliver thee.
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 laid upon the mouth of the den: which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, that nothing should be done 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 went away to his house and laid himself down without taking supper, and meat was not set before him, and even sleep departed 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 rising very early in the morning, went in haste to the lions’ den:
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, cried with a lamentable voice to Daniel, and said to him: Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy God, whom thou servest always, been able, thinkest thou, to deliver thee 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 for ever:
I mai la o Daniela i ke alii, E ke alii, e ola mau loa oe.
22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut up the mouths of the lions, and they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him justice hath been found in me: yea and before thee, O king, I have done no offence.
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 exceeding 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 hurt 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 And by the king’s commandment, those men were brought that bad accused Daniel: and they were cast into the lions’ den, they and their children, and their wives: and they did not reach the bottom of the den, before the lions caught them, and broke all their bones in pieces.
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 people, tribes, and languages, dwelling in the whole earth: PEACE be multiplied unto 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 decreed by me, that in all my empire and my kingdom all men dread and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God for ever: and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his power shall be for ever.
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 deliverer, and saviour, doing signs and wonders in heaven, and in earth: who hath delivered Daniel out of 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 Now Daniel continued unto the reign of Darius, and 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.
