Daniel 8
1 In the thirde yeere of the reigne of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared vnto mee, euen vnto me Daniel, after that which appeared vnto mee at the first.
I te toru o nga tau o te kingitanga o Kingi Perehatara ka puta mai he kite ki ahau, ara ki ahau, ki a Raniera, i muri i tera i puta ra ki ahau i te timatanga.
2 And I saw in a vision, and when I sawe it, I was in the palace of Shushan, which is in the prouince of Elam, and in a vision me thought I was by the riuer of Vlai.
I kite moemoea ahau: na i toku kitenga, i Huhana ahau, i te kainga kingi, i tera i te kawanatanga o Erama: na ka kite moemoea ahau, a i te taha ahau o te awa o Urai.
3 Then I looked vp and sawe, and beholde, there stoode before the riuer a ramme, which had two hornes: and these two hornes were hie: but one was hier then another, and the hyest came vp last.
Na ko te marangatanga ake o oku kanohi, ka kite ahau, na, ko tetahi hipi toa e tu ana i te ritenga o te awa, e rua ona haona, roa noa atu nga haona ki runga, kei runga atu ia tetahi i tetahi: na, ko tera i purero ra, no muri rawa i puta ai.
4 I sawe the ramme pusshing against ye West, and against the North, and against the South: so that no beastes might stande before him, nor could deliuer out of his hand, but he did what he listed, and became great.
I kite ano ahau i te hipi toa e aki ana whaka te hauauru, whaka te raki, whaka te tonga; a kore noa iho tetahi kararehe i tu ki tona aroaro, kahore hoki he tangata hei whakaora i roto i tona ringa; heoi mahia ana e ia tana i pai ai, a nui haere a na ia.
5 And as I considered, beholde, a goate came from the West ouer the whole earth, and touched not the grounde: and this goate had an horne that appeared betweene his eyes.
Na i ahau e whakaaroaro ana, na ko te putanga mai o tetahi koati toa i te hauauru, i te mata o te whenua katoa, kihai ano ia i pa ki te whenua: a he haona to te koati i waenganui i ona kanohi, he mea e whakamaua e te titiro.
6 And he came vnto the ramme that had the two hornes, whome I had seene standing by the riuer, and ranne vnto him in his fierce rage.
Na ka haere mai ia ki te hipi toa e rua nei ona haona, i kitea atu ra e ahau e tu ana i te ritenga o te awa, rere atu ana ki a ia, me te weriweri katoa o tona kaha.
7 And I saw him come vnto the ramme, and being moued against him, he smote the ramme, and brake his two hornes: and there was no power in the ramme to stand against him, but he cast him downe to the grounde, and stamped vpon him, and there was none that coulde deliuer the ramme out of his power.
I kite ano ahau i a ia e whakatata ana ki te hipi toa, riri tonu ki a ia, patua iho e ia te hipi toa, whatiia ana e ia ona haona e rua, kahore hoki he kaha o te hipi toa ki te tu ki tona aroaro; kei te turaki ia i a ia ki te whenua, takatakahia a na ia e ia; kahore hoki he kaiwhakaora mo te kipi toa i roto i tona ringa.
8 Therefore the goate waxed exceeding great, and when he was at the strongest, his great horne was broken: and for it came vp foure that appeared toward the foure windes of ye heauen.
Na kua nui noa atu te koati toa, kua kaha, na ka whati te haona nui, a e wha nga mea e whakamaua atu e te titiro i puta ake i tona turanga, he mea e anga ana ki nga hau e wha o te rangi.
9 And out of one of them came foorth a litle horne, which waxed very great toward the South, and toward the East, and towarde the pleasant land.
Na kua puta ake i roto i tetahi o era tetahi haona iti; kua nui noa atu whaka te tonga, whaka te rawhiti, whaka te whenua ahuareka.
10 Yea, it grewe vp vnto the hoste of heauen, and it cast downe some of the hoste, and of the starres to the ground, and trode vpon them,
I nui haere ano a tae tonu ki te ope o te rangi, whakataka ana e ia ki te whenua etahi o te ope, o nga whetu hoki, takatakahia ana e ia.
11 And extolled himselfe against the prince of the hoste from whome the dayly sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his Sanctuarie was cast downe.
Ae ra, i tae ano tana whakanui i a ia ki te rangatira o te ope, whakakorea iho e ia i a ia te patunga tapu, te mea tuturu, turakina iho tona wahi tapu.
12 And a time shall be giuen him ouer the dayly sacrifice for the iniquitie: and it shall cast downe the trueth to the ground, and thus shall it doe, and prosper.
I homai ano te ope ki a ia me te patunga tapu tuturu, na te kino hoki, na turakina iho e ia te pono ki te whenua; a mahi ana, kake ana.
13 Then I heard one of the Saints speaking, and one of the Saints spake vnto a certaine one, saying, Howe long shall endure the vision of the dayly sacrifice, and the iniquitie of the desolation to treade both the Sanctuarie and the armie vnder foote?
Katahi ka rongo ahau i tetahi anahera tapu e korero ana, a ka mea tetahi atu anahera tapu ki tera i korero ra; Kia pehea te roa o te kitenga mo te patunga tapu tuturu, mo te he whakangaro e tukua ai te wahi tapu me te ope kia takatakahia?
14 And he answered me, Vnto the euening and the morning, two thousand and three hundreth: then shall the Sanctuarie be clensed.
Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Kia taka nga ahiahi me nga ata e rua mano e toru rau, ko reira te wahi tapu purea ai.
15 Nowe when I Daniel had seene the vision, and sought for the meaning, beholde, there stoode before me like the similitude of a man.
Na ka kite ahau, a Raniera, i taua kite; ka rapua e ahau te tikanga, na me te mea he ahua tangata e tu ana i toku aroaro.
16 And I heard a mans voyce betweene the bankes of Vlai, which called, and sayde, Gabriel, make this man to vnderstand the vision.
I rongo ano ahau i te reo tangata i te takiwa o nga tahatika o Urai e karanga ana, e mea ana, E Kapariera, kia mohio te tangata nei ki te tikanga o te kite.
17 So he came where I stood: and when hee came, I was afraide, and fell vpon my face: but he sayd vnto me, Vnderstand, O sonne of man: for in the last time shalbe the vision.
Heoi ka haere mai tera ki te wahi i tu ai ahau; a, i tona taenga mai ka wehi ahau, tapapa ana ahau. Na ka mea ia ki ahau, Kia mohio koe, e te tama a te tangata: mo nga wa hoki o te mutunga te kite ra.
18 Nowe as he was speaking vnto me, I being a sleepe fell on my face to the ground: but he touched me, and set me vp in my place.
Na, i a ia e korero ana ki ahau, ka riro ahau i te moe, he moe reka, me toku mata e anga ana ki te whenua: otiia i pa ia ki ahau, a whakaturia ana ahau ki runga.
19 And he sayde, Beholde, I will shewe thee what shalbe in the last wrath: for in the end of the time appointed it shall come.
Na ka mea ia, Nana, ka meinga e ahau kia mohio koe ki nga mea e puta mai i te mutunga o te riri: no te wa hoki tera i whakaritea o te mutunga.
20 The ramme which thou sawest hauing two hornes, are the Kings of the Medes and Persians.
Ko te hipi toa i kitea ra e koe i nga haona e rua, ko nga kingi era o Meria, o Pahia.
21 And the goate is the King of Grecia, and the great horne that is betweene his eyes, is the first King.
Ko te koati toa puhuruhuru, ko te kingi tera o Kariki: a ko te haona nui i waenganui i ona kanohi, ko te kingi tuatahi tera.
22 And that that is broken, and foure stoode vp for it, are foure kingdomes, which shall stand vp of that nation, but not in his strength.
Na, mo te mea i whati ra, i puta ake ra e wha ki tona turanga, tera e ara ake e wha nga kingitanga i roto i te iwi, e kore ia e rite te kaha ki tona.
23 And in the end of their kingdome, when the rebellious shalbe consumed, a King of fierce countenance, and vnderstanding darke sentences, shall stand vp.
Na, i te mutunga o to ratou kingitanga, i te mea ka tae ta nga poka ke ki te tutukitanga, ka ara ake he kingi he kanohi hinana tona, e matau ana ki nga kupu ngaro.
24 And his power shalbe mightie, but not in his strength: and hee shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mightie, and the holy people.
A tera e nui tona kaha, otiia ehara i te mea na tona kaha ake: he hanga whakamiharo tana whakangaro; ka kake ano ia, ka mahi i tana e pai ai, ka whakangaro i nga tangata nunui ratou ko te iwi tapu.
25 And through his policie also, hee shall cause craft to prosper in his hand, and he shall extoll himselfe in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: hee shall also stande vp against the prince of princes, but he shalbe broken downe without hand.
Ma tana ngarahu mohio ano ka meinga ai e ia te tinihanga o tona ringa kia kake; ka whakanui ano ia i a ia i roto i tona ngakau, he tokomaha hoki e ngaro i a ia i runga i to ratou noho warea; ka whakatika ano ia ki te rangatira o nga rangatira; o tiia ka wawahia ia, ehara ano i te mea na te ringa.
26 And the vision of the euening and the morning, which is declared, is true: therefore seale thou vp the vision, for it shall be after many dayes.
Na, ko te kite o nga ahiahi, o nga ata, ko tera i korerotia ra, pono tonu: engari kopia atu e koe te kite; he mea hoki ia mo nga ra maha kei te haere mai.
27 And I Daniel was striken and sicke certaine dayes: but when I rose vp, I did the Kings busines, and I was astonished at the vision, but none vnderstood it.
Na kua iwikore noa iho ahau, a Raniera, he maha nga ra oku e mate ana; muri iho ka maranga ahau, a mahia ana e ahau te mahi a te kingi; miharo tonu ano ki taua kite, kihai ia i matauria e tetahi.
