< Daniel 4 >

1 Nebuchad-nezzar King vnto all people, nations and languages, that dwell in all the world, Peace be multiplied vnto you:
O NEBUKANEZA ke alii, i na kanaka a pau, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na olelo e, e noho ana ma ka honua a pau: E hoomahuahuaia ana ko oukou maluhia.
2 I thought it good to declare the signes and wonders, that the hie God hath wrought toward me.
He mea pono i ko'u manao ke hoakaka aku i na hoailona, a me na hana mana a ke Akua kiekie i hana mai ai ia'u.
3 How great are his signes, and how mightie are his wonders! his kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
He manomano kona mau hoailona, a he kupaianaha hoi kana mau hana mana! O kona aupuni, he aupuni mau loa ia, a o kona alii ana, mai ia hanauna aku ia, a ia hanauna aku.
4 I Nebuchad-nezzar being at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace,
Owau, o Nebukaneza, ua noho maluhia au iloko o ko'u hale, a pomaikai no au ma kuu halealii;
5 Saw a dreame, which made me afraide, and the thoughtes vpon my bed, and the visions of mine head troubled me.
Ua moe uhane au i ka moe, o ka'u mea ia i weliweli ai, a o na manao maluna o ko'u wahi moe a me ka lia ana o ko'u poo, o ka'u mau mea ia e pihoihoi ai.
6 Therefore made I a decree, that they should bring all the wise men of Babel before mee, that they might declare vnto me the interpretation of the dreame.
No ia mea, kauoha aku la au e alakaiia mai imua o'u ka poe naauao a pau o Babulona, i hoakaka mai lakou ia'u i ke ano o ka'u moe.
7 So came the inchanters, the astrologians, the Caldeans and the sothsayers, to whom I tolde the dreame, but they could not shew me the interpretation thereof,
A hele mai no ka poe magoi, a me ka poe hoopiopio, a me ka poe Kaledea, a me ka poe kilokilo, a hoike aku au ia lakou i ka moe; aole i hiki ia lakou ke hai mai i kona mea hoike.
8 Till at the last Daniel came before mee, (whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, which hath the spirite of the holy gods in him) and before him I tolde the dreame, saying,
Mahope iho, hele mai imua o'u o Dauiela, ka mea i kapaia o Beletesaza mamuli o ka inoa o ko'u akua, no ka mea, aia iloko ona ka uhane o na akua hemolele; a hai aku au ia ia i ka'u moe;
9 O Belteshazzar, chiefe of the enchanters, because I know, that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell mee the visions of my dreame, that I haue seene and the interpretation thereof.
E Beletesaza, e ka luna o na magoi, no ka mea, ua ike au aia iloko ou ka uhane o na akua hemolele, aole ou wahi hemahema ma ka mea i ike ole ia, e hai mai oe i ka moe a'u i ike ai a me kona ano.
10 Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed. And beholde, I sawe a tree in the middes of the earth and the height thereof was great:
Penei ka lia ana a ko'u poo maluna o ko'u wahi moe: aia hoi, ua ike au, he laau iwaenakonu o ka honua, a o kona kiekie, ua oi nui loa aku ia.
11 A great tree and strong, and the height thereof reached vnto heauen, and the sight thereof to the endes of all the earth.
Ulu ae la ua laau la a nui; o kona kiekie ua hiki aku ia i ka lani, a ua ike hoi ia ma na kihi a pau o ka honua.
12 The boughes thereof were faire and the fruite thereof much, and in it was meate for all: it made a shadow vnder it for the beastes of the fielde, and the foules of the heauen dwelt in the boughes thereof, and all flesh fedde of it.
O na lau ona ua maikai ia, a he nui no hoi kona hua, aia hoi maloko ona he ai na na mea a pau; ua hoomaluia na holoholona o ke kula malalo iho ona, ua kau mai hoi na manu o ka lewa maluna o kona mau lala, a ua hanaiia na mea io a pau i ko ua laau la.
13 I sawe in the visions of mine head vpon my bed, and beholde, a watchman and an holy one came downe from heauen,
Ua ike au ma ka lia ana o kuu poo maluna iho o ko'u wahi moe, aia hoi, he mea kiai a he mea hemolele e iho mai ana mai ka lani mai:
14 And cried aloude, and said thus, Hew downe the tree, and breake off his branches: shake off his leaues, and scatter his fruite, that the beastes may flee from vnder it, and the foules from his branches.
Kahea mai la oia me ka leo nui, a penei hoi kana olelo ana, E kua aku i ka laau, a e okioki i kona mau lala, e lulu aku i kona lau, a e hoohelelei hoi i kona hua; e haalele na holoholona i kona malu, a me na manu hoi i kona mau lala.
15 Neuerthelesse leaue the stumpe of his rootes in the earth, and with a band of yron and brasse binde it among the grasse of the fielde, and let it be wet with the dewe of heauen, and let his portion be with the beastes among the grasse of the fielde.
Aka, e waiho i ke kumu okona aa ma ka lepo, me ke apo hao, a me ke keleawe, mawaena o na mea uliuli o ke kula; a e hoopuluia oia i ka hau o ka lani, o kona kuleana aia no ia me na holoholona ma ka mauu o ka honua.
16 Let his heart be changed from mans nature, and let a beasts heart be giuen vnto him, and let seuen times be passed ouer him.
E hooliloia kona naau kanaka, a e haawiia ia ia ka naau holoholona; a hala ae na manawa ehiku maluna ona.
17 The sentence is according to the decree of the watchmen, and according to the word of the holy ones: the demaunde was answered, to the intent that liuing men may knowe, that the most High hath power ouer the kingdome of men, and giueth it to whomsoeuer he will, and appointeth ouer it the most abiect among men.
O ka manao paa keia o na mea kiai, a o ke kauoha hoi a na mea hemolele; i ike ai ka poe e ola ana aia maluna o ke aupuni kanaka ka Mea kiekie e alii ana a haawi aku no oia ia mea na ka mea ana e makemake ai, a hoonoho maluna iho i na kanaka lalo loa.
18 This is the dreame, that I King Nebuchad-nezzar haue seene: therefore thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof: for all the wisemen of my kingdome are not able to shewe mee the interpretation: but thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
Eia ka moe a'u a ke alii a Ne bukaneza i ike ai: ano e Beletesa za, e hai mai oe ia'u i ka hoike; no ka mea, aole e hiki i ka poe naauao a pau o ko'u aupuni ke hoakaka mai i ka hoike: aka, e hiki no ia oe, no ka mea, aia iloko ou ka uhane o na akua hemolele.
19 Then Daniel (whose name was Belteshazzar) held his peace by the space of one houre, and his thoughts troubled him, and the King spake and said, Belteshazzar, let neither the dreame, nor the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and saide, My lord, the dreame be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
Alaila pilipu iho la o Daniela i kapaia o Beletesaza i hookahi hora, a pono ole kona manao. Ekemu mai la ke alii, i mai, E Beletesaza, mai pilipu kou manao no ka moe, a me kona ano. I aku la o Beletesaza, E ko'u haku, i ka poe i hoino mai ia oe keia moe, a o ka hoohalike ana i kou poe enemi no ia.
20 The tree that thou sawest, which was great and mightie, whose height reached vnto the heauen, and the sight thereof through all the world,
O ka laau au i ike ai, he nui. a he ikaika, o kona kiekie i hiki aku i ka lani, a ua ikeia hoi ia e ko ka honua a pau;
21 Whose leaues were faire and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meate for all, vnder the which the beastes of the fielde dwelt, and vpon whose branches the foules of the heauen did sit,
O na lau ona he maikai, a nui kona hua, a maloko ona he ai na na mea a pau; a i hoomaluhia ai na holoholona o ke kula malalo iho ona, a maluna o kona mau lala i kau ai na manu o ka lewa:
22 It is thou, O King, that art great and mightie: for thy greatnesse is growen, and reacheth vnto heauen, and thy dominion to the endes of the earth.
O oe no ia, e ke alii, ua mahuahua oe a lilo i mea ikaika; no ka mea, ua mahuahua kou nui a hiki i ka lani, a o kou alii ana i ka welau o ka honua.
23 Where as the King sawe a watchman, and an holy one, that came downe from heauen, and said, Hew downe the tree and destroy it, yet leaue the stumpe of the rootes thereof in the earth, and with a bande of yron and brasse binde it among the grasse of the fielde, and let it be wette with the dewe of heauen, and let his portion be with the beastes of the fielde, till seuen times passe ouer him,
A o kau ike ana, e ke alii, i ka mea kiai, he mea hemolele e iho mai ana, mai ka lani mai, e olelo ana, E kua aku i ka laau, a e hoopau ia ia; aka, e waiho i ke kumu o kona aa ma ka lepo, me ke apo hao a me ke keleawe, mawaena o na mea uliuli o ke kula; a e hoopuluia i ka hau o ka lani, o kona kuleana aia no ia me na holoholona o ke kula, a hala aku na manawa ehiku maluna iho ona;
24 This is the interpretation, O King, and it is the decree of the most High, which is come vpon my lord the King,
Eia ka hoike ana, e ke alii e, a eia hoi ka manao paa o ka Mea kiekie, ka mea e kau mai ana maluna o kuu haku ke alii:
25 That they shall driue thee from men, and thy dwelling shalbe with the beasts of the fielde: they shall make thee to eate grasse as the oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dewe of heauen: and seuen times shall passe ouer thee, till thou knowe, that the most High beareth rule ouer the kingdome of men, and giueth it to whom so euer he will.
E kipaku lakou ia oe mai na kanaka aku, a o kou wahi e noho ai aia no ia me na holoholona o ke kula, a e ai iho oe i ka weuweu e like me na bipi kauo, a e hoopuluia no hoi oe i ka hau o ka lani, a ha la na manawa ehiku maluna ou, a ike oe e alii ana ka Mea kiekie maluna o ke aupuni kanaka, a haawi aku no oia ia mea i kana mea e manao ai.
26 Where as they sayd, that one should leaue the stumpe of the tree rootes, thy kingdome shall remaine vnto thee: after that, thou shalt knowe, that the heauens haue the rule.
A e like me ka mea i oleloia, e waihoia ke kumu o na aa o ua laau la; eia, a ike oe no na lani mai ke alii ana, alaila e paa ai ia oe kou aupuni.
27 Wherefore, O King, let my counsell be acceptable vnto thee, and breake off thy sinnes by righteousnes, and thine iniquities by mercy toward the poore: lo, let there be an healing of thine errour.
No ia mea, e ke alii e, e haliu oluolu mai oe i ko'u manao, a e huli oe mai kou hewa mai i ka pono, a mai kou lawehala ana i ka manawalea aku i ka poe hune; pela paha e hooloihiia mai ai kou manawa pono.
28 All these things shall come vpon the King Nebuchad-nezzar.
A kau mai no keia mau mea a pau maluna o Nebukaneza ke alii.
29 At the end of twelue moneths, he walked in the royall palace of Babel.
A pau na malama he umi kumamalua e holoholo ana no ia maluna o ka halealii o ke aupuni o Babulona;
30 And the King spake and sayde, Is not this great Babel, that I haue built for the house of the kingdome by the might of my power, and for the honour of my maiestie?
Olelo iho la ke alii, i iho la, Aole anei keia o Babulona nui ka mea a'u i kukulu ai i hale no ke aupuni, me ka ikaika o ko'u mana, a no ka hanohano o ko'u nani?
31 While the worde was in the Kings mouth, a voyce came downe from heauen, saying, O King Nebuchad-nezzar, to thee be it spoken, Thy kingdome is departed from thee,
Aia iloko o ko ke alii waha keia olelo, pae mai la ka leo mai ka lani mai, i mai la, E Nebukaneza, e ke alii e, ua olelo ia ia oe, Ua maalo ae ke aupuni mai ou aku.
32 And they shall driue thee from men, and thy dwelling shalbe with the beastes of the fielde: they shall make thee to eate grasse, as the oxen, and seuen times shall passe ouer thee, vntill thou knowest, that the most High beareth rule ouer the kingdome of men, and giueth it vnto whomsoeuer he will.
A e kipakuia no oe mai na kanaka aku, a o kou wahi e noho ai aia pu no ia me na holoholona o ke kula; a e hanaiia oe i ka mauu e like me na bipi kauo, a hala mai maluna ou na manawa ehiku; a ike oe o ka Mea kiekie oia ke alii ma ke aupuni o kanaka, a e haawiia no ia i kana mea e manao ai.
33 The very same houre was this thing fulfilled vpon Nebuchad-nezzar, and hee was driuen from men, and did eate grasse as the oxen, and his body was wet with the dewe of heauen, till his heares were growen as eagles feathers, and his nailes like birds clawes.
Ia hora no, ua ko ia olelo maluna o Nebukaneza: ua kipakuia oia mai na kanaka aku, na ai iho no ia i ka mauu e like me na bipi kauo, ua pulu kona kino i ka hau o ka laui, a loloa kona hulu e like me na hulu o ka aeto, a o kona mau maiuu ua like me na maiuu o na manu.
34 And at the ende of these dayes I Nebuchad-nezzar lift vp mine eyes vnto heauen, and mine vnderstanding was restored vnto me, and I gaue thankes vnto the most High, and I praysed and honoured him that liueth for euer, whose power is an euerlasting power, and his kingdome is from generation to generation.
I ka pau ana o ua mau la la, owau o Nebukaneza, ua leha ae au i kuu mau maka i ka lani, a hoi mai ia'u kuu ike; a hoomaikai aku au i ka Mea kiekie, hoonani aku au, a hoomana hoi i ka Mea e oia mau ana, ua mau loa kona alii ana, a o koua aupuni ia hanauna aku a ia hanauna aku.
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and according to his will he worketh in the armie of heauen, and in the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, nor say vnto him, What doest thou?
A ua manaoia ko ka honua a pau he mea ole; ua hana no hoi oia e like me kona makemake mawaena o na puali o ka lani, a me ko ka honua; aole e hiki i kekahi ke hoopaa aku i kona lima, aole hoi e olelo aku ia ia, Heaha kau e hana nei?
36 At the same time was mine vnderstanding restored vnto me, and I returned to the honour of my kingdome: my glory and my beautie was restored vnto me, and my counsellours and my princes sought vnto me, and I was established in my kingdome, and my glory was augmented toward me.
Ia manawa no ua hoi mai ia'u kuu manao; a me ka hanohano o ko'u aupuni, ua hoi mai ia'u kuu nani a me kuu naauao; a launa mai ia'u kuu, poe kakaolelo, a me ko'u poe kaukaualii; ua paa hou au ma kuu aupuni, a ua hoonui hoi ia kuu hanohano.
37 Now therefore I Nebuchad-nezzar prayse and extoll and magnifie the King of heauen, whose workes are all trueth, and his wayes iudgement, and those that walke in pride, he is able to abase.
Ano owau o Nebukaneza ke hoonani aku nei au, ke hoolea aku hoi me ka mahalo i ke Alii o ka lani, o kana mau hana ua pau i ka oiaio, a o kona mau aoao ua pololei loa; a o ka poe e hele ana ma ka haaheo, e hiki no ia ia ke hoohaahaa iho ia lakou.
