Daniel 5
1 King Belshazzar made a great feast to a thousand of his princes, and dranke wine before the thousand.
Naʻe ngaohi ʻe Pelesasa ko e tuʻi ha kātoanga kai ki hono ngaahi houʻeiki ʻe toko taha afe, pea ne inu uaine ʻi he ʻao ʻoe toko taha afe.
2 And Belshazzar whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring him the golden and siluer vessels, which his father Nebuchad-nezzar had brought from the Temple in Ierusalem, that the King and his princes, his wiues, and his concubines might drinke therein.
ʻI heʻene kei inu ʻae uaine naʻe fekau ʻe Pelesasa ke ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ipu koula, mo e ngaahi ipu siliva, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻe heʻene tamai ko Nepukanesa mei he falelotu lahi ʻaia naʻe ʻi Selūsalema; koeʻuhi ke inu mei ai ʻe he tuʻi mo e houʻeiki, mo hono ngaahi uaifi, mo hono kau sinifu.
3 Then were brought the golden vessels, that were taken out of the Temple of the Lords house at Ierusalem, and the King and his princes, his wiues and his concubines dranke in them.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ipu koula, ʻaia naʻe ʻave mei he potu tapu ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻi Selūsalema; pea naʻe inu mei ai ʻae tuʻi mo e houʻeiki, mo hono ngaahi uaifi, pea mo hono kau sinifu.
4 They drunke wine and praysed the gods of golde, and of siluer, of brasse, of yron, of wood and of stone.
Naʻa nau inu uaine, mo fakamālō ki he ngaahi ʻotua koula, pea mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea, mo e ʻakau, pea mo e maka.
5 At the same houre appeared fingers of a mans hand, which wrote ouer against the candlesticke vpon the plaister of the wall of ye Kings palace, and the King sawe the palme of the hand that wrote.
ʻI he feituʻu pō ko ia naʻe hā mai ʻae louhiʻi nima ʻoe tangata, ʻoku tohi ʻi he funga ʻoe holisi fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo feʻunga mo e tuʻunga maama; pea naʻe mamata ʻae tuʻi ki he louhiʻi nima naʻe tohi.
6 Then the Kings countenance was changed, and his thoughtes troubled him, so that the ioynts of his loynes were loosed, and his knees smote one against the other.
Pea naʻe fakakehe ʻae fofonga ʻoe tuʻi, pea ko ʻene ngaahi mahalo naʻe puputuʻu ai ia; ko ia naʻe homo ai ʻae ngaahi hokotanga ʻo hono kongaloto, pea naʻe fetaposi ʻa hono ongo tui,
7 Wherefore the King cryed loude, that they should bring the astrologians, the Caldeans and the soothsayers. And the King spake, and sayd to the wise men of Babel, Whosoeuer can reade this writing, and declare me the interpretation thereof, shalbe clothed with purple, and shall haue a chaine of golde about his necke, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdome.
Pea naʻe kalanga ʻae tuʻi ke ʻomi ʻae kau ʻasitolōnoma, mo e kau Kalitia, pea mo e kau kikite. Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi, ʻo ne pehē ki he kau tangata poto ʻo Papilone, “ʻIlonga ha taha ʻe lau ʻae tohi ni mo fakahā kiate au hono ʻuhinga, ʻe fakakofuʻaki ia ʻae kulokula, pea ʻe ʻai ʻae kahoa koula ki hono kia, pea te ne hoko ko hono toko tolu ʻi he kau pule ʻoe puleʻanga.”
8 Then came all the Kings wise men, but they could neither reade the writing, nor shewe the King the interpretation.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻae tuʻi: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa lau ʻae tohi pe fakahā ki he tuʻi hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia.
9 Then was King Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his princes were astonied.
Pea naʻe puputuʻu lahi ʻaupito ʻae tuʻi ko Pelesasa, pea naʻe kehe ʻa hono fofonga ʻiate ia, pea naʻe ofo lahi ʻa hono ngaahi houʻeiki.
10 Now the Queene by reason of the talke of the King, and his princes came into the banket house, and the Queene spake, and sayd, O King, liue for euer: let not thy thoughtes trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻae tuʻi mo hono ngaahi houʻeiki, naʻe hū ai ʻae tuʻi fefine ki he fale kai: pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi fefine ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE tuʻi ke ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata: ʻoua naʻa ke mamahi ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakakaukau, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fofonga kehe:
11 There is a man in thy kingdome, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods, and in the dayes of thy father light and vnderstanding and wisdome like the wisdome of the gods, was found in him: whom the King Nebuchad-nezzar thy father, the King, I say, thy father, made chiefe of the enchanters, astrologians, Caldeans, and soothsayers,
ʻOku ai ʻae tangata ʻi ho puleʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ʻatamai ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo tamai, naʻe ʻilo ʻiate ia ʻae maama, mo e ʻilo, mo e poto, ʻo hangē ko e poto ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua; ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa ko hoʻo tamai, ʻoku ou pehē, ʻae tuʻi ko hoʻo tamai, ko e pule ʻoe kau fai meʻa mana mo e kau ʻasitolōnoma, mo e kau Kalitia mo e kau kikite:
12 Because a more excellent spirit, and knowledge, and vnderstanding (for hee did expound dreames, and declare hard sentences, and dissolued doubtes) were founde in him, euen in Daniel, whome the King named Belteshazzar: nowe let Daniel be called, and hee will declare the interpretation.
Pea koeʻuhi naʻe ʻiate ia ha ʻatamai lelei, mo e ʻilo mo e poto, ʻi he fakahā ʻoe ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi misi, mo e ngaahi lea ʻilongataʻa, mo e fakatonutonu meʻa, naʻe ʻilo ʻi he Taniela ko ia, ʻaia naʻe fakahingoa ʻe he tuʻi ko Pelitisasa: pea ko eni, ui kia Taniela, pea ʻe fakahā ʻe ia hono ʻuhinga.”
13 Then was Daniel brought before the King, and the King spake and sayd vnto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captiuitie of Iudah, whom my father the King brought out of Iewrie?
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻa Taniela ki loto ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi. Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi kia Taniela ʻo pehē, “Ko koe, ko e Taniela ko ia ʻoku ʻoe fānau ʻoe pōpula ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻeku tamai mei Siutea?
14 Now I haue heard of thee, that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and that light and vnderstanding and excellent wisdome is found in thee.
Kuo u fanongo kiate koe, ʻo pehē ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae ʻatamai ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, pea ʻoku ʻilo ʻiate koe ʻae maama, mo e ʻilo, pea mo e poto lelei.
15 Now therefore, wisemen and astrologians haue bene brought before me, that they should reade this writing, and shewe me the interpretation thereof: but they could not declare the interpretation of the thing.
Pea ko eni, kuo ʻomi ki hoku ʻao ʻae kau tangata poto mo e kau ʻasitolōnoma, koeʻuhi ke nau lau ʻae tohi ni, pea fakahā mai kiate au ʻa hono ʻuhinga: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mafai ke fakahā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe meʻa
16 Then heard I of thee, that thou couldest shewe interpretations, and dissolue doutes: nowe if thou canst reade the writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and shalt haue a chaine of golde about thy necke, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdome.
Pea kuo u fanongo kiate koe, ʻo pehē, ʻoku ke faʻa fakatupu ʻuhinga mo fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻilongataʻa: pea ko eni, kapau te ke lau ʻae tohi, mo e fakakofuʻaki koe ʻae kulokula, pea ʻe ʻai ʻae kahoa koula ki ho kia, pea te ke hoko ko hono toko tolu ʻi he kau pule ʻoe puleʻanga.”
17 Then Daniel answered, and sayd before the King, Keepe thy rewards to thy selfe, and giue thy giftes to another: yet I will reade the writing vnto the King, and shew him the interpretation.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Taniela ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ne pehēange, “Ke ʻiate koe hoʻo ngaahi meʻa foaki, pea tuku ʻa hoʻo ngaahi totongi ki ha taha kehe; ka te u lau ʻae tohi ki he tuʻi, pea te u fakahā kiate ia ʻa hono ʻuhinga.
18 O King, heare thou, The most high God gaue vnto Nebuchad-nezzar thy father a kingdome, and maiestie, and honour and glory.
“Ko koe, ʻe tuʻi, naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, kia Nepukanesa ko hoʻo tamai, ha puleʻanga mo e mālohi, mo e nāunau, mo e fakaʻapaʻapa;
19 And for the maiestie that he gaue him, all people, nations, and languages trembled, and feared before him: he put to death whom he would: he smote whome he would: whome he would he set vp, and whome he would he put downe.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he mālohi naʻa ne tuku kiate ia, naʻe tetetete mo manavahē kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi kakai, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e ngaahi lea kotoa pē: ko ia naʻa ne loto ki ai naʻa ne tāmateʻi; pea ko ia naʻa ne loto ki ai naʻa ne fakamoʻui; pea ko ia naʻa ne loto ki ai naʻa ne hakeakiʻi; pea ko ia naʻa ne loto ki ai naʻa ne fakahifo.
20 But when his heart was puft vp, and his minde hardened in pride, hee was deposed from his kingly throne, and they tooke his honour from him.
Ka ʻi he angahiki ʻa hono loto, mo e fakafefeka ʻa hono loto ʻi he laukau, naʻe fakahifo ia mei hono nofoʻanga fakatuʻi, pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻa hono nāunau meiate ia;
21 And hee was driuen from the sonnes of men, and his heart was made like the beastes, and his dwelling was with the wilde asses: they fed him with grasse like oxen, and his body was wet with the dewe of the heauen, till he knewe, that the most high God bare rule ouer the kingdome of men, and that he appointeth ouer it, whomsoeuer he pleaseth.
Pea naʻe kapusi ia mei he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata; pea naʻe ngaohi hono loto ke hangē ko e loto ʻoe fanga manu, pea naʻa ne nofoʻanga fakataha mo e fanga ʻasi kai vao: naʻa nau fafanga ia ʻaki ʻae mohuku ʻo hangē ko e fanga pulu, pea naʻe viviku hono sino ʻi he hahau ʻoe langi; kaeʻoua ke ne ʻilo ʻe ia, naʻe pule ʻae ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe tangata, pea ʻoku ne tuʻutuʻuni ki ai ʻaia ʻoku ne faʻiteliha ki ai.
22 And thou his sonne, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all these things,
“Ka ko koe ko hono foha ʻe Pelesasa, naʻe ʻikai te ke fakavaivaiʻi ho loto, ka naʻa ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pe.
23 But hast lift thy selfe vp against the Lord of heauen, and they haue brought the vessels of his House before thee, and thou and thy princes, thy wiues and thy concubines haue drunke wine in them, and thou hast praysed the gods of siluer and golde, of brasse, yron, wood and stone, which neither see, neither heare, nor vnderstand: and the God in whose hand thy breath is and all thy wayes, him hast thou not glorified.
Ka kuo ke fakahikihiki koe ki he ʻEiki ʻoe langi, pea kuo nau omi ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻo hono fale ki ho ʻao, pea ko koe mo hoʻo ngaahi houʻeiki, mo hoʻo ngaahi uaifi, mo hoʻo kau fefine, kuo mou inu kava mei ai; pea kuo ke fakamālō ki he ngaahi ʻotua siliva, mo e koula, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea, mo e ʻakau, mo e maka, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ke mamata, pe fanongo, pe ʻilo: pea ko e ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hono nima ʻa hoʻo mānava, pea ʻoku ʻoʻona ho ngaahi hala kotoa pē, naʻe ʻikai te ke fakamālōʻi.
24 Then was the palme of the hand sent from him, and hath written this writing.
Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻae louhiʻi nima meiate ia; pea ko eni ʻae tohi naʻe tohi.
25 And this is the writing that he hath written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL UPHARSIN.
“Pea ko eni ʻae tohi ʻaia naʻe tohi, ‘MINE, MINE, TEKELI, UFASINI:’
26 This is the interpretation of the thing, MENE, God hath nombred thy kingdome, and hath finished it.
Pea ko hono ʻuhinga eni ʻoe lea: MINE; Kuo lau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ho puleʻanga, pea kuo fakaʻosi ia.
27 TEKEL, thou art wayed in the balance, and art found too light.
TIKELI; Kuo fakamamafa koe ʻi he meʻa fua tautau, pea kuo ʻilo koe ʻoku ke maʻamaʻa.
28 PERES, thy kingdome is deuided, and giuen to the Medes and Persians.
PELESI; kuo vahevahe ʻa ho puleʻanga, pea kuo tuku ki he kau Mitia mo e kau Peasia.”
29 Then at the commandement of Belshazzar they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chaine of golde about his necke, and made a proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdome.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Pelesasa, ke nau fakakofu ʻa Taniela ʻaki ʻae kulokula, pea naʻe ʻai ʻae kahoa koula ki hono kia, pea naʻe fanongonongo ia, ke ne hoko ko hono toko tolu ia ʻi he pule ʻoe puleʻanga.
30 The same night was Belshazzar the King of the Caldeans slaine.
ʻI he pō ko ia naʻe mate tāmateʻi ʻa Pelesasa, ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau Kalitia.
31 And Darius of the Medes tooke the kingdome, being threescore and two yeere olde.
Pea naʻe faʻao ʻae puleʻanga ʻe Talaiasi ko e Mitia, ʻi hono onongofulu ma ua taʻu nai ʻo ʻene motuʻa.
