< Daniel 3 >
1 King Nebuchadnezzar had a gold statue made that was sixty cubits tall and six cubits wide. He had it set up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
HANA iho la o Nebukaneza ke alii i kii gula, o kona kiekie he kanaono kubita, a o kona laula eono ia kubita; a kukulu iho la oia ia mea ma ka papu o Dura, ma ka aina o Babulona.
2 Then he summoned the provincial governors, prefects, local governors, counselors, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the statue he had set up.
Alaila, hoouna aku la o Nebukaneza ke alii, e hoakoakoa mai i na'lii, a me na kiaaina, i na luna koa, ua lunakanawai, a me na lunawaiwai, i na kakaolelo, a me na ilamuku, a me na luna a pau o na aina, e hele mai no ka hoolaa ana i ua kii la a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai.
3 They all came to the dedication of the statue Nebuchadnezzar had set up and stood in front of it.
Alaila, ua hoakoakoaia mai na'lii, a me na kiaaina, i na luna koa, na lunakanawai, a me na lunawaiwai, na kakaolelo, a me na ilamuku, a me na luna a pau o na aina, no ka hoolaa ana i ke kii a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai: a ku lakou imua o ua kii la a Nebukaneza i kukulu ai.
4 Then a herald announced in a loud voice, “People of all nations and languages, pay attention to the king's command!
A kahea aku la ka luna kukala me ka leo nui, Ua kauohaia mai oukou, e na kanaka, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na elelo,
5 As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of musical instruments, you must fall to the ground and worship the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
I ka wa a oukou e lohe ai i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, a me ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka violaumi, a me ka dukima, a me na mea kani a pau, alaila e moe kukuli iho oukou, a e hoomana aku i ke kii gula a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai:
6 Anyone who doesn't immediately fall down and worship will be thrown into a furnace of blazing fire.”
A o ka mea i moe ole ilalo, a hoomana ole aku, ia hora no e hooleiia aku ai oia iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
7 So when all the people heard the sound of the musical instruments they all fell down—the people of all nations and languages worshiped the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
No ia mea, ia manawa, i ka lohe ana o kanaka a pau i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, a me ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka violaumi, a me na mea kani a pau, a e moe kukuli iho na kauaka a pau, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na elelo, a hoomana aku lakou i ua kii gula la a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai.
8 Right then some of the astrologers came forward and made accusations against the Jews.
A ia manawa no, hele mai la kekahi o ka poe Kaledea, a hoopii aku no kekahi o ka poe Iudaio.
9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “May Your Majesty the king live forever!
Olelo aku lakou, i aku la ia Nebukaneza i ke alii, E ke alii, e ola mau loa oe.
10 Your Majesty has decreed that everyone who hears the sound of the musical instruments shall fall down and worship the gold statue,
Ua kau mai oe, e ke alii, i kanawai penei, Aia lohe na kanaka a pau i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka violaumi a me ka dukima, a me na mea kani a pau, e moe kukuli iho lakou a hoomana aku i ua kii gula la.
11 and that anyone who does not shall be thrown into a furnace of blazing fire.
A o ka mea i moe ole ilalo, a hoomana ole, e hooleiia aku oia iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
12 But there are some Jews that you placed in charge of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—who pay no attention to Your Majesty's decree. They do not serve your gods and will not worship the gold statue you set up.”
Aia hoi kekahi mau kanaka no ka poe Iudaio, na mea au i hoonoho ai maluna o na mea ma ka aina o Babulona, o Saderaka, o Mesaka, a o Abedenego; o keia mau kanaka, ea, aole lakou e hoolohe i kau, e ke alii e; aole lakou malama i kou mau akua, aole no hoi lakou i hoomana aku i ke kii gula au i kukulu ai.
13 This made Nebuchadnezzar absolutely furious. “Bring me Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego!” he demanded. So they were brought before the king.
Alaila, kauoha aku la o Nebukaneza, me kona huhu a me kona ukiuki loa, E alakai mai ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego; a ua alakaiia mai no keia mau kanaka imua o ke alii.
14 “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, are you deliberately refusing to serve my gods and worship the gold statue I set up?” asked the king.
Olelo aku o Nebukaneza, i aku la ia lakou, Ma ko oukou manao anei ia, e Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego? Aole anei oukou e malama i ko'u mau akua, aole hoi i hoomana i ke kii gala a'u i kukulu ai?
15 “Are you ready now to fall down and worship the statue I had made when you hear the sound of the musical instruments? If you don't, you will be immediately thrown into the furnace of blazing fire, and there's no god who can save you from my power!”
Ina hoi e noho makaukau oukou, i ka wa a oukou e lohe ai i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, a me ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka dukima, a me ka violaumi, a me na mea kani a pau, a e moe iho oukou e hoomana aku i ke kii gula a'u i kukulu ai, ua pono; aka, i ole oukou e hoomana aku, ia hora no, e hooleiia'i oukou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana. A owai la ke Akua nana oukou e hoopakele mai kuu lima aku?
16 “King Nebuchadnezzar, we don't need to defend ourselves before you over this,” Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied.
Olelo mai la o Saderaka, o Mesaka, a me Abedenego, i mai la i ke alii, E Nebukaneza, aole o makou mea e pane aku ai i kau ma keia mea.
17 “If our God whom we serve so wishes, he is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire. He will save us from your power, Your Majesty.
Ina pela, o ko makou Akua ka mea a makou e malama nei, e hiki no ia ia ke hoopakele ia makou mai ka umu ahi e aa ana, a e hoopakele no hoi ia makou mai kou lima aku, e ke alii.
18 But even if he does not, Your Majesty needs to know that we would never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”
A i ole hoi ia, e ike auanei oe, e ke alii, aole makou e malama i kou mau akua, aole hoi makou e hoomana aku i ke kii gula au i kukulu ai.
19 This made Nebuchadnezzar so angry with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that his face twisted in rage. “Make the furnace seven times hotter than normal!” he ordered.
Alaila, piha ae la o Nebukaneza i ka huhu, a ano e ae La kona helehelena ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego; a hoolale ae la oia e hoaa i ka umu ahi a pahiku ka enaena ana i kona mau e enaena ai.
20 Then he commanded some of his strongest soldiers, “Tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the furnace of blazing fire!”
A kena aku la oia i na kanaka ikaika o kona poe koa, e nakinaki ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, a e hoolei ia lakou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
21 So they were tied up, fully dressed in their coats, trousers, turbans, and other clothes, and thrown into the furnace of blazing fire.
Alaila, nakinakiia iho la ua poe kanaka la me ko lakou mau lole wawae, a me na palule, a me na kapa aahu, a me na kapa e ae, a hooleiia lakou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
22 Because the king's command was so harsh in making the furnace so extremely hot, the flames killed the soldiers who threw them in.
A no ka ikaika o ka ke alii kauoha a me ke okoko loa o ka enaena ana o ka umu ahi, nolaila, ua make i ke apoia e ke okoko ana o ke ahi ka poe kanaka nana i hapai o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego.
23 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, still tied up, fell into the furnace of blazing fire.
A o keia mau kanaka ekolu i nakinakiia, o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, haule no lakou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar suddenly jumped up in amazement. “Didn't we throw three men tied up into the furnace?” he asked his advisors. “Yes, that's right, Your Majesty,” they replied.
Alaila, pihoihoi iho la o Nebukaneza ke alii, a ku koke oia iluna, olelo aku la ia i kona poe kuhina, i aku la, Aole anei kakou i hoolei aku i ekolu kanaka i nakinakiia iloko o ke ahi? I mai lakou ia ia, E ke alii e, he oiaio no ia.
25 “Look!” he cried out. “How is it that I can see four men, not tied up, walking around in the fire and not being burned? And the fourth one looks like a god!”
Olelo aku oia, i aku la, Aia hoi, ke ike nei au i na kanaka eha, aole i nakinakiia, e hele ana iloko o ke ahi, aole o lakou wela; a o ka ha, ua like ia me he keiki a ke Akua.
26 Nebuchadnezzar went towards the door of the furnace of blazing fire. “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!” he shouted. So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire.
Alaila, hookokoke aku la o Nebukaneza ma ka puka o ka umu ahi e aa ana, a olelo aku, i aku la, E Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, e na kauwa a ke Akua kiekie loa, e puka mai oukou, a e hele mai ia'u: alaila puka mai o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, mai loko mai o ke ahi.
27 The provincial governors, prefects, local governors, and the king's advisors gathered around them and saw that the fire had not harmed them. Their hair wasn't singed, their clothes weren't scorched—there wasn't even the smell of smoke!
Ua akoakoa iho la na alii, a me na kiaaina, a me na lunakoa, a me na kuhina o ke alii, a ike lakou i keia mau kanaka, aole lanakila ke ahi maluna o ko lakou mau kino, aole hoi i wela kekahi lauoho o ko lakou mau poo, aole i aa iki ia ko lakou kapa, aole hoi ka hohono ahi i pili ia lakou.
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel and he rescued his servants who trusted in him! They disobeyed my royal command, putting their lives on the line, and refused to worship any other gods except their God.
Alaila, olelo aku o Nebukaneza, i aku la, E hoomaikaiiia ke Akua o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, ka mea i hoouna mai i kona anela, a i hoopakele mai i kona poe kauwa, ka poe i manaoio aku ia ia; ua hoolohe ole lakou i ka olelo a ke alii, a ua haawi lakou i ko lakou mau kino, i ole lakou e malama, a e hoomana i na akua e, aka, i ko lakou Akua wale no.
29 Consequently I am issuing a decree that if anyone of any nation or language speaks disrespectfully about the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego they will be torn to pieces and their houses will be destroyed. There is no other God who is able to save like this!”
No ia mea, ke kau aku nei au i kanawai paa, O na kanaka a pau, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na olelo, ke hoino wale aku i ke Akua o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, e okioki liilii ia lakou, a e hooliloia ko lakou mau hale i hooleina moka; no ka mea, aohe akua e ae e hiki ai ke hoopakele e like me keia.
30 Then Nebuchadnezzar promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, giving them even greater responsibilities in the province of Babylon.
No ia mea, hookiekie iho la ke alii ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, ma ka aina o Babulona.
