Daniel 7
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel has seen a dream, and the visions of his head on his bed, then he has written the dream, the chief of the things he has said.
I te tuatahi o nga tau o Perehatara kingi o Papurona he moe ta Raniera, he kite na tona mahunga i runga i tona moenga; na tuhituhia ana e ia te moe, a korerotia ana nga upoko o nga korero.
2 Daniel has answered and said, “I was seeing in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens are coming forth to the Great Sea;
I korero a Raniera, i mea, He putanga ki ahau i te po, ka kite ahau, na, ko nga hau e wha o te rangi e ngangare ana i runga i te moana nui.
3 and four great beasts are coming up from the sea, diverse from one another.
Na ka puta ake e wha nga kararehe nunui i te moana, rere ke tonu tetahi i tetahi.
4 The first [is] like a lion, and it has an eagle’s wings. I was seeing until its wings have been plucked, and it has been lifted up from the earth, and on feet as a man it has been caused to stand, and a heart of man is given to it.
Ko te tuatahi i rite ki te raiona, he parirau ekara ona: titiro tonu atu ahau a hutia noatia atu ona parirau, a ka whakarewaina atu ia i te whenua, ka meinga kia tu i runga i nga waewae e rua, ano he tangata, a i homai hoki he manawa tangata ki a ia.
5 And behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear, and to the same authority it has been raised, and three ribs [are] in its mouth, between its teeth, and thus they are saying to it, Rise, consume much flesh.
Na ko tetahi atu kararehe, ko te tuarua, kei te pea te rite, ara ana ia ko tetahi taha ona, e toru ano nga rara i tona mangai, i ona niho: a ka mea ake ratou ki a ia; Whakatika, kia nui te kikokiko e kainga e koe.
6 After this I was seeing, and behold, another like a leopard, and it has four wings of a bird on its back, and the beast has four heads, and dominion is given to it.
I muri i tenei ka titiro atu ahau, na, ko tetahi ano, kei te reparo te rite, e wha nga parirau manu i tona tuara; e wha nga pane o taua kararehe; kua tukua ano te rangatira tanga ki a ia.
7 After this I was seeing in the visions of the night, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible and fearful, and exceedingly strong; and it has very great iron teeth, it has consumed, indeed, it breaks small, and it has trampled the remnant with its feet; and it [is] diverse from all the beasts that [are] before it; and it has ten horns.
I muri i tenei ka kite ahau i roto i nga moemoea o te po, na, ko te tuawha o nga kararehe, he hanga whakawehi, he mea whakamataku, he kaha noa atu; he niho rino ona, he mea nunui; kei te kai, kei te wawahi a mongamonga noa, ko te toenga takatakah ia ana e ona waewae; a he rere ke ia i era atu kararehe katoa i mua i a ia; a kotahi tekau ona haona.
8 I was considering about the horns, and behold, another horn, a little one, has come up between them, and three of the first horns have been eradicated from before it, and behold, eyes as the eyes of man [are] in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
I whakaaroa e ahau nga haona, na kua puta ake tetahi atu haona, he mea iti, i roto i era, na unuhia ake ana i tona aroaro, he mea unu ake i nga putake, e toru o nga haona tuatahi ra; na he kanohi i roto i taua haona nei, he mea rite ki nga kanohi tangata, me te mangai hoki e korero ana i nga mea nunui.
9 I was seeing until thrones have been thrown down, and the Ancient of Days is seated, His garment [is] white as snow, and the hair of His head [is] as pure wool, His throne flames of fire, its wheels burning fire.
I titiro ahau a whakaritea mai ra ano nga torona, kua noho te Tuaiho Onamata: ko tona kakahu ma tonu me he hukarere, ko nga makawe o tona mahunga me te huruhuru hipi kua oti te whakama; ko tona torona he mura ahi, a ko ona wira he ahi e ka ana.
10 A flood of fire is proceeding and coming forth from before Him, one million serve Him and one hundred million rise up before Him, judgment has been set, and the scrolls have been opened.
I pupu mai he awa ahi, i rere mai i tona aroaro: mano iho, mano iho ana kaimahi, tini, tini whaioio e tu ana i tona aroaro: kua noho te whakawa, kua tuwhera nga pukapuka.
11 I was seeing, then, because of the voice of the great words that the horn is speaking, I was seeing until the beast is slain, and his body has been destroyed, and given to the burning fire;
I titiro ano ahau i reira, he reo hoki no nga kupu nunui i korerotia e te haona: titiro tonu ahau, a whakamatea noatia iho te kararehe, ko tona tinana whakangaromia iho, a tukua ana ia kia tahuna ki te ahi.
12 and the rest of the beasts have caused their dominion to pass away, and a prolongation in life is given to them, until a season and a time.
Ko era atu o nga kararehe, i whakakahoretia to ratou kawanatanga: otiia i whakaroaina atu to ratou ora mo tetahi wa, mo tetahi taima.
13 I was seeing in the visions of the night, and behold, [One] like a Son of Man was coming with the clouds of the heavens, and to the Ancient of Days He has come, and before Him they have brought Him near.
I kite ahau i roto i nga moemoea o te po, na, ko tetahi e rite ana ki te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana me nga kapua ano o te rangi, kua tae mai ki te Tuaiho Onamata, kua kawea ano ki tona aroaro.
14 And to Him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages serve Him, His dominion [is] a continuous dominion, that does not pass away, and His kingdom that which is not destroyed.
I tukua ano ki a ia he kawanatanga, he kororia, he kingitanga, kia mahi ai nga tangata katoa, nga iwi, nga reo, ki a ia: ko tona kawanatanga he kawanatanga mau tonu, e kore e pahemo: e kore ano tona kingitanga e ngaro.
15 My spirit has been pierced—I, Daniel—in the midst of the sheath, and the visions of my head trouble me;
Na, ko ahau, ko Raniera, i pouri toku wairua i waenganui i toku tinana, raruraru ana ahau i nga mea i kitea e toku mahunga.
16 I have drawn near to one of those standing, and the certainty I seek from him of all this; and he has spoken to me, indeed, the interpretation of the things he has caused me to know:
I whakatata ahau ki tetahi o te hunga e tu ana i reira, i ui ki a ia ki te tika o tenei katoa. Heoi ka korerotia e ia ki ahau, a ka meinga ahau kia mohio ki te tikanga o nga mea.
17 These great beasts, that [are] four, [are] four kings, they rise up from the earth;
Ko enei kararehe nunui, ko nga mea e wha nei, he kingi, e wha, tera e puta ake i te whenua.
18 and the saints of the Most High receive the kingdom, and they strengthen the kingdom for all time, even for all time and all ages.
Otiia ka riro te kingitanga i te hunga tapu a te Runga Rawa, ka mau ano hoki te kingitanga ki a ratou a ake ake.
19 Then I wished for certainty concerning the fourth beast, that was diverse from them all, exceedingly fearful; its teeth of iron, and its nails of bronze, it has devoured, it breaks small, and it has trampled the remnant with its feet;
Katahi ahau ka mea kia mohio ki te tika o te tuawha o nga kararehe i rere ke nei i era atu katoa, he nui rawa nei te wehi, ko ona niho he rino, ko ona maikuku he parahi, o tera i kai ra, i wawahi ra a mongamonga noa, a takatakahia ana te toenga ki ona waewae;
20 and concerning the ten horns that [are] in its heads, and of the other that came up, and before which three have fallen, even of that horn that has eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and whose appearance [is] great above its companions.
O nga haona kotahi tekau hoki i tona pane, o tera atu hoki i puta ake ra, a taka ana etahi e toru i tona aroaro, ara taua haona he kanohi nei ona, he mangai, he nui atu nei nga korero, ko tona ahua maia atu i to ona hoa.
21 I was seeing, and this horn is making war with the saints, and has prevailed over them,
I titiro ahau, na kua whawhai taua haona ki te hunga tapu, a taea ana ratou e ia;
22 until the Ancient of Days has come, and judgment is given to the saints of the Most High, and the time has come, and the saints have strengthened the kingdom.
A tae noa ki te taenga mai o te Tuaiho Onamata, ki te homaitanga hoki o te whakawa ki te hunga tapu a ta Runga Rawa; a ka tae mai te wa i riro ai te kingitanga i te hunga tapu.
23 Thus he said: The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom in the earth, that is diverse from all kingdoms, and it consumes all the earth, and treads it down, and breaks it small.
Ko tana kupu tenei, Ko te tuawha o nga kararehe, he tuawha tera no nga kingitanga i runga i te whenua, ka rere ke i nga kingitanga katoa, ka pau i a ia te whenua katoa, ka takatakahia e ia, ka wawahia a mongamonga noa.
24 And the ten horns out of the kingdom [are] ten kings, they rise, and another rises after them, and it is diverse from the former, and it humbles three kings;
Na, ko nga haona kotahi tekau, tera e ara ake i tenei kingitanga kotahi tekau nga kingi; a ka ara ake ano tetahi i muri i a ratou, ka rere ke ano ia i o mua, a e toru nga kingi e taea e ia.
25 and it speaks words as an adversary of the Most High, and it wears out the saints of the Most High, and it hopes to change seasons and law; and they are given into its hand, until a time, and times, and a division of a time.
Tera e nui ana kupu mo te Runga Rawa, a ka tau i a ia te mauiui ki te hunga tapu a te Runga Rawa: ka mea hoki ia kia whakariroia ketia nga wa me te ture: ka tukua ano enei ki tona ringa, kia taka ra ano he wa, me etahi wa, me te hawhe wa.
26 And judgment is set, and they cause his dominion to pass away, to perish, and to be destroyed—to the end;
Otiia ka noho te whakawa, a ka whakakahoretia tona kingitanga, moti iho, ngaro iho a taea noatia te mutunga.
27 and the kingdom, and the dominion, even the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heavens, is given to the people—the saints of the Most High, His kingdom [is] a continuous kingdom, and all dominions serve and obey Him.
A ka hoatu te kingitanga me te kawanatanga me te nui o te kingitanga i raro i te rangi katoa ki nga tangata o te hunga tapu a te Runga Rawa; ko tona kingitanga he kingitanga mutungakore, a ka mahi nga kawanatanga katoa, ka whakarongo ki a ia.
28 Here [is] the end of the matter. I, Daniel, [am] greatly troubled [by] my thoughts, and my countenance is changed on me, and I have kept the matter in my heart.”
I konei te mutunga o te mea. Na, ko ahau, ko Raniera, nui atu toku raruraru i oku whakaaro, puta ke ana toku mata: heoi puritia iho e ahau taua mea i roto i toku ngakau.
