< Daniel 6 >

1 It pleased Darius to set ouer the kingdome an hundreth and twentie gouernours, which should be ouer the whole kingdome,
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 ouer these, three rulers (of whome Daniel was one) that the gouernours might giue accompts vnto them, and the King should haue no domage.
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 Now this Daniel was preferred aboue the rulers and gouernours, because the spirit was excellent in him, and the King thought to set him ouer the whole realme.
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 Wherefore the rulers and gouernours sought an occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdome: but they could finde none occasion nor fault: for he was so faithfull that there was no blame nor fault 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 sayd these men, We shall not finde an occasion against this Daniel, except we finde it against him 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 Therefore the rulers and these gouernours went together to the King, and sayde thus vnto him, King Darius, liue for euer.
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 rulers of thy kingdome, the officers and gouernours, the counsellers, and dukes haue consulted together to make a decree for the King and to establish a statute, that whosoeuer shall aske a petition of any god or man for thirtie dayes saue of thee, O King, he shalbe cast into the denne of lyons.
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 Nowe, O King, confirme the decree, and seale the writing, that it be not changed according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
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 Wherefore King Darius sealed the writing and the decree.
No ia mea, kakau iho la o Dariu ke alii i kona inoa ma ka palapala o ua kanawai la.
10 Now when Daniel vnderstood that he had sealed the writing, hee went into his house, and his window being open in his chamber toward Ierusalem, he kneeled vpon his knees three times a day, and prayed and praysed his God, as he did aforetime.
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 Then these men assembled, and founde Daniel praying, and making supplication vnto 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 So they came and, spake vnto the King concerning the Kings decree, Hast thou not sealed the decree, that euery man that shall make a request to any god or man within thirtie dayes, saue to thee, O King, shall be cast into the denne of lyons? The King answered, and sayd, The thing is true, according to the Lawe of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
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 answered they, and sayd vnto the King, This Daniel which is of the children of the captiuitie of Iudah, regardeth not thee, O King, nor the decree, that thou hast sealed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
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 When the King heard these wordes, hee was sore displeased with himselfe, and set his heart on Daniel, to deliuer him: and he laboured till the sunne went downe, to deliuer 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 Then these men assembled vnto the King, and sayde vnto ye King, Vnderstand, O King, that the lawe of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree nor statute which the King confirmeth, 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 denne of lyons: now the King spake, and said vnto Daniel, Thy God, whome thou alway seruest, euen he will deliuer 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 layed vpon the mouth of the denne, and the King sealed it with his owne signet, and with the signet of his princes, that the purpose might not be changed, concerning 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 Then the King went vnto his palace, and remained fasting, neither were the instruments of musike brought before him, and his sleepe went 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 arose early in the morning, and went in all haste vnto the denne of lyons.
A ala ae la ke alii iluna i kakahiaka nui, a hele wikiwiki aku la ma ia lua liona.
20 And when he came to the denne, he cryed with a lamentable voyce vnto Daniel: and the King spake, and saide to Daniel, O Daniel, the seruant of ye liuing God, is not thy God (whom thou alway seruest) able to deliuer thee from the lyons?
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 Then saide Daniel vnto the King, O King, liue for euer.
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 the lyons mouthes, that they haue not hurt mee: for my iustice was founde out before him: and vnto thee, O King, I haue done no hurt.
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 commanded that they should take Daniel out of the denne: so Daniel was brought out of the denne, and no maner of hurt was found vpon him, because he beleeued 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 commandement of the King these me which had accused Daniel, were brought, and were cast into the denne of lions, euen they, their children, and their wiues: and the lyons had the mastry of them, and brake all their bones a pieces, or euer they came at the groud of the denne.
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 Afterwarde King Darius wrote, Vnto all people, nations and languages, that dwel in all the world: Peace be multiplied vnto 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 I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdome, men tremble and feare before the God of Daniel: for he is the liuing God, and remayneth for euer: and his kingdome shall not perish, and his dominion shalbe euerlasting.
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 Hee rescueth and deliuereth, and hee worketh signes and wonders in heauen and in earth, who hath deliuered Daniel from the power of the lyons.
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 So this Daniel prospered in the reigne of Darius and in the reigne of Cyrus of Persia.
Pela i noho maluhia ai o Daniela i ke au ia Dariu, a i ke au ia Kuro o ka Peresia.
