Daniel 7
1 In the first yeere of Belshazzar King of Babel, Daniel sawe a dreame, and there were visions in his head, vpon his bed: then he wrote the dreame, and declared the summe of the matter.
ʻI he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Pelesasa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻe mamata ʻa Taniela ki he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ki hono ʻulu ʻi hono mohenga; pea naʻa ne tohi ʻae misi, pea ne fakahā ʻa hono fakamatala.
2 Daniel spake and saide, I sawe in my vision by night, and behold, the foure windes of the heauen stroue vpon the great sea:
Naʻe lea ʻa Taniela ʻo ne pehē, “Ne u mamata ʻi he meʻa hā mai kiate au ʻi he pō, pea vakai, naʻe fetakai mālohi ʻae feituʻu matangi ʻe fā ʻoe langi ʻi he Tahi Lahi.
3 And foure great beastes came vp from the sea one diuers from another.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake mei loto tahi ʻae fanga manu ʻe fā, naʻe taki taha hono anga pe ʻoʻona.
4 The first was as a lyon, and had eagles wings: I beheld, til the wings thereof were pluckt of, and it was lifted vp from the earth, and set vpon his feete as a man, and a mans heart was giuen him.
Ko e ʻuluaki, naʻe hangē ha laione, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kapakau ʻoe ʻikale: pea ne u vakai, mo ʻene fusi ʻa hono ongo kapakau, pea naʻe hiki hake ia mei he kelekele, pea naʻe fokotuʻu ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻo hangē ha tangata, pea naʻe tuku ki ai ʻae loto ʻoe tangata.
5 And beholde, another beast which was the second, was like a beare and stood vpon the one side: and hee had three ribbes in his mouth betweene his teeth, and they saide thus vnto him, Arise and deuoure much flesh.
Pea vakai, ko e manu kehe ko hono ua, naʻe hangē ha pea, pea ne hiki hake ʻe ia ia ʻo fakapalataha pe, pea naʻe ʻi hono ngutu ʻae nifo lōloa ʻe tolu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo hono ngaahi nifo: pea naʻa nau lea ki ai ʻo pehē, ‘Tuʻu hake ʻo kai ʻae kakano lahi.’
6 After this I behelde, and loe, there was an other like a leopard, which had vpon his backe foure wings of a foule: the beast had also foure heads, and dominion was giuen him.
Pea hili ia ne u mamata, pea vakai, ko e taha kehe, naʻe hangē ha lēpati, ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono tuʻa ʻae kapakau ʻe fā ʻoe manupuna; pea naʻe ʻi he manu foki ʻae ʻulu ʻe fā; pea naʻe foaki ki ai ʻae pule.
7 After this I saw in the visions by night, and beholde, the fourth beast was fearefull and terrible and very strong. It had great yron teeth: it deuoured and brake in pieces and stamped the residue vnder his feete: and it was vnlike to the beasts that were before it: for it had ten hornes.
Hili ia ne u mamata ʻi he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ʻi he pō, pea vakai ko hono fā ʻoe manu, naʻe fakamanavahē ia mo fakaʻulia, mo mālohi ʻaupito; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi nifo ukamea lahi: naʻe fakaʻauha mo maumauʻi ʻe ia, pea ne malaki ʻae toenga ʻaki hono vaʻe, pea naʻe kehe ia mei he fanga manu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae nifo ʻe hongofulu.
8 As I considered the hornes, beholde, there came vp among them another litle horne, before whome there were three of the first hornes pluckt away: and behold, in this horne were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things.
Pea ʻi heʻeku sio fakamamaʻu ki he ngaahi nifo, pea vakai, naʻe tupu hake ʻi ai ha kihi nifo siʻi ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe taʻaki fuʻu hake mei hono ʻao ʻae nifo ʻe tolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻuluaki nifo; pea vakai, naʻe ʻi he nifo ni ʻae mata ʻo hangē ko e mata ʻoe tangata, mo e ngutu naʻe lea fielahi.
9 I behelde, till the thrones were set vp, and the Ancient of dayes did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the heare of his head like the pure wooll: his throne was like the fierie flame, and his wheeles as burning fire.
Pea naʻaku mamata ai pe mo ʻene lī hifo ʻae ngaahi nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho, naʻe hinehina hono kofu ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina, pea ko hono louʻulu naʻe hangē ko e fulufuluʻi sipi lelei: ko hono ʻafioʻanga naʻe hangē ko e afi ulo, pea ko hono ngaahi teka naʻe hangē ko e afi vela.
10 A fierie streame yssued, and came foorth from before him: thousand thousandes ministred vnto him, and tenne thousand thousands stoode before him: the iudgement was set, and the bookes opened.
Naʻe tupu mai mo tafe mei hono ʻao ʻae afi: naʻe tauhi kiate ia ʻae toko afe lauʻi ʻe he ngaahi toko afe, pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao ʻae toko mano lauʻi toko mano: naʻe fokotuʻu ʻae fakamaau, pea naʻe folahi ʻae ngaahi tohi.
11 Then I behelde, because of the voyce of the presumptuous wordes, which the horne spake: I behelde, euen till the beast was slaine, and his body destroyed, and giuen to the burning fire.
Pea naʻaku tokanga lahi koeʻuhi ko e leʻo mo e lea fielahi ʻae nifo. Pea naʻaku tokanga ʻo aʻu ki hono tāmateʻi ʻoe manu, mo e fakaʻauha ʻo hono sino, mo e tuku ia ki he afi vela.
12 As concerning the other beastes, they had taken away their dominion: yet their liues were prolonged for a certaine time and season.
Pea koeʻuhi ko hono toe ʻoe fanga manu, naʻe toʻo ʻenau pule meiate kinautolu: ka naʻe fakatolonga ʻenau moʻui ke fuoloa ange, pea ki ha kuonga.
13 As I behelde in visions by night, behold, one like the sonne of man came in the cloudes of heauen, and approched vnto the Ancient of dayes, and they brought him before him.
Ne u mamata ʻi he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ʻi he pō, pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ha tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi ʻao ʻoe langi ʻo hangē ko e foha ʻoe tangata, pea ne haʻu kiate ia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho, pea naʻa nau ʻomi
14 And he gaue him dominion, and honour, and a kingdome, that all people, nations and languages should serue him: his dominion is an euerlasting dominion, which shall neuer bee taken away: and his kingdome shall neuer be destroyed.
Pea naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻae pule, mo e nāunau, mo ha puleʻanga, koeʻuhi ke tauhi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi kakai kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e ngaahi lea: ko e pule taʻengata ʻa ʻene pule, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai mole, pea ko hono puleʻanga ʻe ʻikai fakaʻauha.
15 I Daniel was troubled in my spirit, in the middes of my body, and the visions of mine head made me afraide.
“Ko au Taniela, ne u mamahi ʻi hoku laumālie mo hoku loto, pea naʻe fakamamahiʻi au ʻe he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ki hoku ʻulu.
16 Therefore I came vnto one of them that stoode by, and asked him the trueth of all this: so he tolde me, and shewed me the interpretation of these things.
Pea naʻaku ʻunuʻunu atu ki he tokotaha ʻokinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ai, pea ne u fehuʻi kiate ia ki hono moʻoni ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni. Ko ia naʻa ne talamai, pea ne fakahā mai kiate au hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.
17 These great beastes which are foure, are foure Kings, which shall arise out of the earth,
Ko e fanga manu lalahi ni, ʻaia ʻoku toko fā, ko e tuʻi ia ʻe toko fā ʻaia ʻe tupu hake ʻi māmani.
18 And they shall take the kingdome of the Saintes of the most High, and possesse the kingdome for euer, euen for euer and euer.
Ka ʻe lavaʻi ʻae puleʻanga ʻe he kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga, pea te nau maʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻo lauikuonga, ʻio, ke taʻengata pea taʻengata.
19 After this, I woulde knowe the trueth of the fourth beast, which was so vnlike to all the others, very fearefull, whose teeth were of yron, and his nailes of brasse: which deuoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue vnder his feete.
Pea ne u fieʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻo hono fā ʻoe manu, ʻaia naʻe taha kehe mo e fanga manu kotoa pē, ʻo fakamanavahēʻia, ʻaia naʻe ukamea hono kau nifo, pea ko e palasa hono pesipesi; ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha, mo maumauʻi, pea naʻe malaki ʻae toenga ʻaki hono vaʻe;
20 Also to know of the tenne hornes that were in his head, and of the other which came vp, before whome three fell, and of the horne that had eyes, and of the mouth that spake presumptuous thinges, whose looke was more stoute then his fellowes.
Pea mo e ngaahi nifo ʻe hongofulu ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono ʻulu, pea ʻoe taha kehe ʻaia naʻe tupu hake, pea naʻe tō ʻi hono ʻao ʻae toko tolu; ʻio, ʻae nifo ko ia, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mata, pea mo e ngutu naʻe lea fielahi ʻaupito, ʻaia naʻe matamata mālohi ʻi heʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa.
21 I beheld, and the same horne made battel against the Saintes, yea, and preuailed against them,
Ne u vakai, pea naʻe fai ʻae tau ʻe he nifo ko ia ki he kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ne lavaʻi ʻakinautolu.
22 Vntill the Ancient of dayes came, and iudgement was giuen to the Saintes of the most High: and the time approched, that the Saintes possessed the kingdome.
Kaeʻoua ke hoko mai ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho, pea naʻe tuku ʻae fakamaau totonu ki he kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga; pea naʻe hokosia ʻae kuonga naʻe maʻu ʻe he kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻae puleʻanga.
23 Then he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdome in the earth, which shall be vnlike to all the kingdomes, and shall deuoure the whole earth, and shall treade it downe and breake it in pieces.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻa ʻene lea, Ko hono fā ʻoe manu ʻe hoko ia ko hono fā ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻi māmani, ʻaia ʻe kehe mo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea te ne fakaʻauha ʻa māmani kotoa pē, pea malaki hifo ia, pea maumauʻi.
24 And the ten hornes out of this kingdome are tenne Kings that shall rise: and an other shall rise after them, and he shall be vnlike to the first, and he shall subdue three Kings,
Pea ko e ngaahi nifo ʻe hongofulu mei he puleʻanga ni, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻe toko hongofulu ia ʻaia ʻe tupu: pea ʻe tupu mo ha taha kimui ʻiate kinautolu, pea ʻe kehe ia mo e ʻuluaki, pea te ne lavaʻi ʻae tuʻi ʻe toko tolu.
25 And shall speake wordes against the most High, and shall consume the Saintes of the most High, and thinke that he may change times and lawes, and they shalbe giuen into his hand, vntill a time, and times and the deuiding of time.
Pea ʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi lea fielahi ki he Fungani Māʻolunga, pea te ne fakaongosia ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga, pea ʻe mahalo ʻe ia ke ne fakakehe ʻae ngaahi kuonga mo e ngaahi fono: pea ʻe tuku ia ki hono nima ʻi ha kuonga mo e kuonga ʻe ua, mo e vaeua mālie ʻoe kuonga.
26 But the iudgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it vnto the ende.
Ka ʻe fakanofo ʻae fakamaau, pea te nau toʻo ʻa ʻene pule, ke fakaʻauha mo maumauʻi ia, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga.
27 And the kingdome, and dominion, and the greatnesse of the kingdome vnder the whole heauen shalbe giue to the holy people of the most High, whose kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome and all powers shall serue and obey him.
Ka ko e puleʻanga mo e pule, pea mo e nāunau ʻoe puleʻanga ʻi he lalo langi kotoa pē, ʻe tuku ki he kakai ko e kau māʻoniʻoni ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga, pea ko hono puleʻanga ko e puleʻanga taʻengata, pea ʻe tauhi mo talangofua kiate ia ʻae ngaahi pule kotoa pē.
28 Euen this is the ende of the matter, I Daniel had many cogitations which troubled mee, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in mine heart.
Ko eni ʻae ngataʻanga ʻoe meʻa. Ka ko au Taniela ko ʻeku ngaahi fakakaukau naʻaku mātuʻaki mamahi ai, pea naʻe fakakehe hoku mata ʻiate au: ka naʻaku fakafufū ʻae meʻa ni ʻi hoku loto.”
