Daniel 10
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing is revealed to Daniel, whose name is called Belteshazzar, and the thing [is] true, and the warfare [is] great: and he has understood the thing, and has understanding about the appearance.
ʻI hono tolu ʻoe taʻu ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, naʻe ai ha meʻa naʻe fakahā kia Taniela, ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Pelitisasa; pea naʻe moʻoni ʻae meʻa, ka naʻe fuoloa ʻae kuonga naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ki ai, pea naʻa ne poto ʻi he meʻa, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻoe meʻa hā mai.
2 “In those days, I, Daniel, have been mourning three weeks of days;
ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ko au Taniela ne u mamahi ʻi he uike kātoa ʻe tolu.
3 I have not eaten desirable bread, and no flesh and wine came into my mouth, and I have not anointed myself at all, until the completion of three weeks of days.
Naʻe ʻikai te u kai ʻae mā melie, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻi hoku ngutu ʻae kanomate pe ha uaine, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te u takai au, kaeʻoua ke kakato ʻae uike ʻe tolu.
4 And in the twenty-fourth day of the first month, I have been by the side of the great river, that [is] Hiddekel:
Pea ʻi hono uofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina, ʻi heʻeku nofo ʻi he veʻe vaitafe lahi, ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Hitikeli;
5 and I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a certain one clothed in linen, and his loins girt with pure gold of Uphaz,
Ne u hanga hake ai hoku mata ʻo sio, pea vakai, ko e tangata naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu lelei, pea naʻe noʻo hono noʻotanga vala ʻaki ʻae koula lelei ʻo ʻUfasi:
6 and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as the aspect of bright bronze, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.
Ko hono sino foki naʻe hangē ko e pelili, pea ko hono mata naʻe hangē ko e ʻuhila, pea mo hono ongo mata naʻe hangē ko e ongo maama afi, pea ko hono nima mo hono vaʻe, naʻe ulo ʻo tatau mo e palasa kuo fakangingila, pea ko hono leʻo ʻi heʻene lea, naʻe hangē ko e leʻo ʻoe tokolahi.
7 And I, Daniel, have seen the vision by myself, and the men who have been with me have not seen the vision, but a great trembling has fallen on them, and they flee to be hidden;
Pea ko au Taniela ne u mamata tokotaha pe ki he meʻa hā mai: he ko e kau tangata naʻe ʻi ai mo au naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata ki he meʻa hā mai; ka naʻe hoko ʻae manavahē lahi kiate kinautolu, ko ia naʻa nau hola ke fakafufū ʻakinautolu.
8 and I have been left by myself, and I see this great vision, and there has been no power left in me, and my splendor has been turned in me to corruption, indeed, I have not retained power.
Ko ia naʻe tuku tokotaha pe au, pea ne u mamata ki he meʻa lahi ni naʻe hā mai, pea naʻe ʻikai toe ha mālohi siʻi ʻiate au: he naʻe liliu ʻiate au ʻa ʻeku matamatalelei ʻo fakalielia, pea naʻe ʻikai te u kei maʻu ha mālohi.
9 And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face [is] to the earth;
Ka naʻaku fanongo pe ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene ngaahi lea: pea ʻi heʻeku fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene ngaahi lea, naʻe lolotonga ia ʻae mohe maʻu ʻa hoku mata, ʻo fakafoʻohifo hoku mata ki he kelekele.
10 and behold, a hand has come against me, and shakes me on my knees and the palms of my hands.
Pea vakai, naʻe ala mai ha nima kiate au, mo ne fokotuʻu au ki hoku ongo tui mo hoku ʻaofi nima.
11 And he says to me: Daniel, man greatly desired, attend to the words that I am speaking to you, and stand on your station, for now I have been sent to you. And when he speaks with me this word, I have stood trembling.
Pea ne pehē mai kiate au, “ʻE Taniela, ko e tangata ʻofeina lahi, ke ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe, pea ke tuʻu tonu: he kuo toki fekau au kiate koe.” Pea hili ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni kiate au, ne u tuʻu tetetete pe.
12 And he says to me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you gave your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.
Pea ne toki pehē mai kiate au, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, Taniela: he kuo talu ʻae ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻaia naʻa ke tukupau ai ho loto ke ʻilo, pea naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe ongoʻi hoʻo ngaahi lea, pea koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi lea kuo u haʻu au.
13 And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing in opposition in front of me [for] twenty-one days, and behold, Michael, first of the chief heads, has come to help me, and I have remained there near the kings of Persia;
Ka naʻe taʻofi au ʻe he ʻEiki ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo Peasia, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻe uofulu ma taha: kae vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻa Maikeli, ko e tokotaha ia ʻoku tuʻu ki muʻa, ke tokoni au; pea ne u nofo ai mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Peasia.
14 and I have come to cause you to understand that which happens to your people in the latter end of the days, for yet the vision [is] after days.
Pea ko eni, kuo u haʻu ke fakahā kiate koe, ʻae meʻa e hoko ki hoʻo kakai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamui: he ʻoku kau ʻae meʻa hā mai ki he ngaahi ʻaho lahi.”
15 And when he speaks with me about these things, I have set my face toward the earth, and have been silent;
Pea ʻi heʻene lea pehē kiate au, ne u foʻohifo hoku mata ki he kelekele, pea ne u longo pe.
16 and behold, as the manner of the sons of men, he is striking against my lips, and I open my mouth, and I speak, and say to him who is standing in opposition in front of me: My lord, by the vision my pangs have been turned against me, and I have retained no power.
Pea vakai, ko e tokotaha naʻe hangē ko ha taha ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata, naʻe ala mai ki hoku loungutu: pea ne u toki mafaʻa hoku ngutu, ʻo lea, pea ne u pehē kiate ia naʻe tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao, “ʻE hoku ʻEiki, ko e meʻa ʻi he meʻa hā mai, kuo toe foki mai ʻeku mamahi kiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u kei maʻu ha mālohi.
17 And how is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord? As for me, from now on there remains in me no power, indeed, breath has not been left in me.
He koeʻuhi ʻe faʻa alea fēfē ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻo hoku ʻEiki ni, mo hoku ʻEiki ni? He ko au eni, naʻe fakafokifā ʻoku ʻikai toe ha mālohi ʻiate au, pea kuo ʻosi foki mo ʻeku mānava.”
18 And he adds, and strikes against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengthens me,
Pea naʻe toe haʻu ha taha ʻo hangē ko ha tangata, ʻo ala mai kiate au, ʻo ne fakamālohi au,
19 and he says: Do not fear, O man greatly desired, peace to you, be strong, indeed, be strong; and when he speaks with me, I have strengthened myself, and I say, Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.
Pea ne pehē mai ʻe ia, “ʻE tangata ʻofeina lahi, ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē: fiemālie pe koe, pea ke mālohi, ʻio, ke ke mālohi.” Pea ʻi heʻene lea kiate au ne u mālohi, pea ne u pehē, “Ke lea pe ʻa hoku ʻEiki, he kuo ke fakamālohi au.”
20 And he says, Have you known why I have come to you? And now I return to fight with the head of Persia; indeed, I am going forth, and behold, the head of Javan has come;
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻeku haʻu kiate koe; pea ko eni, te u foki atu ke tau mo e tuʻi ʻo Peasia: pea ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu, vakai ʻe haʻu ʻae ʻeiki ʻo Kalisi.
21 but I declare to you that which is noted down in the Writing of Truth, and there is not one strengthening himself with me, concerning these, except Michael your head.”
Ka te u fakahā kiate koe ʻaia ʻoku tohi ʻi he tohi tapu moʻoni: pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha niʻihi ʻoku kau mo au ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni, ka ko Maikeli ko hoʻomou ʻeiki.”
