< Daniel 2 >

1 And, in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, —and his spirit, was troubled, and, his sleep, had gone from him.
I KA makahiki elua o ke au ia Nebukaneza, ua moe uhane o Nebukaneza, a anoninoni iho la kona uhane, hiaa loa iho la kona hiamoe.
2 So the king gave word to call for the sacred scribes and for the magicians, and for the users of incantations, and for the Chaldeans, that they might tell the king his dreams, —they came in therefore, and stood before the king.
Alaila, kauoha aku la ke alii e kii aku i na magoi, a me ka poe kilo, a me ka poe hoopiopio, a me ka poe Kaledea, i hoakaka mai lakou i ke alii i kana moe. A hele mai lakou a ku iho la imua o ke alii.
3 And the king, said to them, A dream, have I dreamed, —and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.
I aku la ke alii ia lakou, Ua moe uhane au i ka moe, a pihoihoi iho la kuu uhane e ike i ua moe la.
4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king, in Aramaic, —O king, to the ages, live! Tell the dream to thy servants, and, the interpretation, we will declare.
Ekemu mai la ka poe Kaledea i ke alii ma ka olelo Suria, E ola mau loa ke alii: E hai mai oe i kau poe kauwa i ua moe la, a na makou ia e hoakaka aku.
5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The word from me, is unalterable: If ye shall not make known to me the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and, your houses, into a dunghill, shall be turned;
Olelo aku la ke alii i ka poe Kaledea, i aku la, Ua paa kuu olelo, ina aole oukou e hai mai i ka moe a me kona ano, e okioki liilii ia oukou, a o ko oukou mau hale e liloia i hooleina moka.
6 but, if, the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye will declare, gifts and a present and great dignity, shall ye receive from before me, —therefore, the dream and the interpretation thereof, declare ye unto me.
Aka, e hai mai oukou ia'u i ka moe a me kona hoike, alaila e loaa ia oukou ka makana, a me ka uku, a me ka hanohano nui no'u aku; no ia mea, e hai mai i ka moe, a me kona hoike.
7 They answered again and said, —Let, the king, tell, the dream, to his servants, and, the interpretation thereof, we will declare.
Ekemu hou mai la lakou, i mai, E hai mai ke alii i kana poe kauwa i ka moe, a na makou ia e hoakaka aku.
8 The king answered and said, Of a certainty, I know, that, time, ye, would gain, —merely because ye see that, unalterable, from me, is the word:
Olelo aku ke alii, i aku la, Ua ike au, he oiaio no, ke makemake nei oukou, e hooloihi i ka manawa, no ka mea, ua ike oukou ua paa kuu olelo.
9 That, if, the dream, ye shall not make known to me, one and the same, is the decree, and, a lying and wicked word, have ye agreed to speak before me, that meanwhile the time may be changed, —therefore, the dream, tell ye me, so shall I know that, the interpretation thereof, ye can declare for me.
Aka, ke hoakaka ole mai oukou ia'u i ka moe, hookahi mea paa no oukou; no ka mea, ua hoomakaukau oukou i na olelo wahahee a me ka lapuwale e hai mai imua o'u, a ano hou ae la ka manawa; no ia mea, e hai mai ia'u i ka moe, alaila ua moakaka ia'u, e hiki ia oukou ke hoomaopopo mai i ke ano.
10 The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, There is not a man upon the earth, who can declare, the matter of the king, —although indeed, there is no king, chief ruler who, a thing like this, hath asked of any sacred scribe or magician or Chaldean;
Alaila, ekemu hou mai ka poe Kaledea imua o ke alii, i mai la, Aohe kanaka ma ka honua e hiki ia ia ke hoakaka i ka ke alii mea; aole alii, aole haku, aole luna, i koi aku i ke kilo, a me ka magoi, a me ke Kaledea i na mea e like me keia.
11 and, the thing which the king hath asked, is difficult, and, none other, is there, who can declare it before the king, —saving the gods whose dwelling is, not with flesh.
A he mea pohihihi keia mea a ke alii i koi mai nei: aole loa he mea e hiki ke hoakaka ia mea imua o ke alii, aka, o na akua wale no, na mea i noho pu olo me kanaka.
12 For this cause, the king, was provoked and exceedingly indignant, —and gave word to destroy all the wise men of Babylon;
No keia mea, huhu iho la ke alii a ukiuki loa, a kauoha aku la oia e luku aku i ka poe naauao a pau ma Babulona.
13 and, the decree, went forth, that, the wise men, should be slain, —and they sought Daniel and his companions that they might be slain.
A holo ka olelo e lukuia ka poe naauao a pau; a imiia iho la o Daniela a me kona mau hoa e pepehiia'i lakou.
14 Immediately, Daniel, made answer with prudence and discretion, to Arioch, chief of the executioners of the king, —who had come forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
Alaila, olelo aku la o Daniela me ka noonoo, a me ka naauao ia Arioka, i ka luna o ka poe ilamuku o ke alii, ka poe i hele aku e pepehi i ka poe naauao ma Babulona.
15 he began to speak and said to Arioch the king’s captain, —For what cause, is the decree raging forth from before the king? Then did Arioch make the matter known unto Daniel.
I aku la oia ia Arioka i ka luna o ke alii, i aku, No ke aha la ka holo wawe ana o ka olelo a ke alii? Alaila hoakaka mai la o Arioka ia Daniela i ua mea la.
16 So Daniel entered in, and desired of the king, —that, an appointed time, he would give him, and then, the interpretation, he would declare unto the king.
Alaila, komo ae la o Daniela, a noi aku la i ko alii e haawi mai ia ia i kekahi manawa, a e hoakaka aku no oia i ke alii i ka hoike.
17 Then Daniel, to his own house, departed, —and, to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, made the matter known;
Alaila, hele aku la o Daniela i kona hale, a hoike aku ia mea ia Hanania, a me Misaela, a me Azaria, kona mau hoa;
18 that, tender compassion, they might seek from before the God of the heavens, concerning this secret, —that Daniel and his companions, might not be destroyed, with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
I noi aku lakou i ke aloha no ke Akua mai o ka lani, no keia mea i ike ole ia, i ole e make pu o Daniela a me kona mau hoa me na kanaka naauao e ae ma Babulona.
19 Then, unto Daniel—in a vision of the night, the secret was revealed, —whereupon, Daniel, blessed the God of the heavens:
Alaila, ua hoakakaia mai ua mea ike ole ia la ia Daniela, ma ke akaku i ka po. A hoomaikai aku la o Daniela i ke Akua o ka lani.
20 Daniel responded, and said, Let the name of God be blessed from age to age, —in that wisdom and might, to him belong;
Olelo aku o Daniela, i aku la, E hoomaikaiia ka inoa o ke Akua ia ao aku ia ao aku; no ka mea, nona ka naauao a me ka mana;
21 And, he, changeth times and seasons, removeth kings, and setteth up kings, —giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them who are skilled in understanding:
Nana no i hoololi mai i na wa a me na kau; nana no i kipaku aku i na'lii, a hooku hoi iluna i na'lii: haawi mai no hoi oia i ka naauao no ka poe naauao, a me ka ike no ka poe ike.
22 He, revealeth the deep things, and the hidden, —knoweth what is in the darkness, and, light, with him, doth dwell.
Ua hoakaka mai oia i na mea hohonu a me na mea i ike ole ia. Ua ike oia i na mea ma ka pouli, a me ia pu no ka malamalama.
23 Unto the, O God of my fathers, do I render thanks and praise, in that, wisdom and might, thou hast given unto me, —yea, already, hast thou made known to me that which we desired of thee, for, the matter of the king, hast thou made known unto us.
Ke hoomaikai aku nei au ia oe, e ke Akua o ko'u poe kupuna, ke hoolea aku nei au ia oe, ka mea i haawi mai ia'u i ka naauao a me ka ikaika, ka mea i hoakaka mai i na mea a makou i noi aku ai ia oe; no ka mea, ua hoakaka mai oe ia makou i ka ke alii mea.
24 Therefore, Daniel entered in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, —he went in, and, thus, he said unto him, The wise men of Babylon, do not thou destroy, bring me in before the king, and, the interpretation—unto the king, will I declare.
Alaila, hele aku la o Daniela io Arioka la, i ka mea a ke alii i hoonoho ai e pepehi i ka poe naauao ma Babulona; i aku la ia ia, Mai pepehi i ka poe naauao o Babulona; e alakai oe ia'u imua i ke alo o ke alii, a na'u no e hoakaka i ke alii i ka hoike.
25 Thereupon, Arioch—with haste, brought in Daniel before the king, —and, thus, he said to him—I have found a man of the sons of the exile of Judah, who, the interpretation—unto the king, will make known.
Alaila, wikiwiki iho la o Arioka i ke alakai ia Daniela imua o ke alii; i aku la ia ia, Ua loaa ia'u ke kanaka no ka poe pio o Iuda, oia ka mea nana e hoakaka i ke alii i ka hoike.
26 The king answered and said unto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, —Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
Olelo mai la ke alii ia Daniela, i ka mea i kapaia o Beletesaza, i mai, E hiki anei ia oe, ke hoakaka mai ia'u i ka moe uhane a'u i ike ai a me kona ano?
27 Daniel answered before the king, and said, —The secret which the king hath asked, the wise men, the magicians, the sacred scribes, the astrologers, are not able to declare unto the king;
Olelo aku la o Daniela imua i ke alo o ke alii, i aku, O ka mea ikea ole a ke alii i koi mai ai, aole e hiki i ka poe naauao, a me ka poe akamai, a me ka poe magoi, a me na kilokilolani ke hoakaka i ke alii;
28 but there is a God in the heavens, who revealeth secrets, and hath made known to King Nebuchadnezzar, what shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days: Thy dream and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are, these: —
Aka, aia ma ka lani ke Akua, ka mea e hoike mai i na mea i ike ole ia; oia ka mea e hoike mai i ke alii, ia Nebukaneza i na mea o hiki mai ana i na la mahope. O kau moe uhane, a me ka lia o kou poo ma kou wahi moe, penei no ia;
29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts upon thy bed, arose regarding what should come to pass hereafter; and, he that revealeth secrets, made known to thee what shall come to pass.
A o oe, e ke alii, ua kupu kou manao ma kou wahi moe, no na mea e hiki mai ana mahope: a o ka mea hoike i na mea i ikea ole, nana no e hoakaka mai ia oe i na mea e hiki mai ana:
30 But, as for me—not for any wisdom that is in me, more than any of the living, is, this secret, revealed to me, —therefore, it is in order that, the interpretation—unto the king, they should make known, and that, the thoughts of thy heart, thou shouldst get to know.
A owau nei hoi, aole i hoakakaia mai ia'u keia mea ikea ole, no ka oi ana o ka naauao iloko o'u mamua o ko kekahi mea e ola ana; aka, i hoakakaia aku ai i ke alii ka hoike, a i ike no hoi oe i ka manao o kou naau iho.
31 As for thee, O king, thou wast looking, when lo! a great image, this image, being mighty, and the brightness thereof surpassing, was standing before thee, —and, the appearance thereof, was terrible.
O oe, e ke alii, ua ike oe, aia hoi, he kii nui. O ua kii la, he mea e kona olinolino, ua ku mai ia imua ou, a o kona helehelena he mea weliweli loa ia.
32 As for this image, its head, was of fine gold, its breast and its arms, were of silver, —its belly and its thighs, of bronze;
O ke poo o ua kii la, he gula maemae ia, o kona umauma a me na lima he kala ia, o kona opu a me na uha he keleawe ia.
33 its legs, of iron, —and, its feet, part of them, of iron, and, part of them, of clay.
O kona mau wawae he hao ia, a o kona mau kapuwai he hao kekahi, a he palolo kekahi.
34 Thou didst look, until that a stone tare itself away, not by the aid of hands, and smote the image upon its feet, which were of iron and clay, —and they were broken in pieces.
Ike aku la oe, aia hoi, he pohaku i kalai lima ole ia, oia ka i kui mai i ua kii la ma kona mau kapuwai hao me ka palolo, a weluwelu iho ia.
35 Then were broken in pieces at once, the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, and became like chaff out of the summer threshing-floors, and the wind, carried them away, and, no place, was found for them, —but, the stone that smote the image, became a mighty rock, and filled all the land.
Alaila, ua okaoka loa iho la ka hao, a me ka palolo, a me ke keleawe, ke kala, a me ke gula; a ua lilo lakou me he opala la ma ke kahua hehi o ke kau: a ua puhiia hoi e ka makani, aole wahi i loaa no lakou; aka, o ua pohaku la i kui i ke kii, ua lilo ia i mauna nui a piha ka honua ia ia.
36 This, is the dream, and, the interpretation thereof, we will tell before the king.
Oia iho no ua moe la; a e hoakaka aku hoi makou i kona hoike imua o ke alii.
37 Thou, O king, art the king of kings, —for, the God of the heavens, hath given unto thee, the kingship, the might, the power and the dignity;
O oe no, e ke alii, he alii oe o na'lii; a ua haawi mai no ke Akua o ka lani ia oe i ke aupuni, a me ka mana, a me ka ikaika, a me ka hanohano.
38 and, wheresoever the sons of men do dwell, the wild beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, hath he given into thy hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou, art the head of gold.
A ma na wahi a pau i nohoia e na kanaka, ua haawi oia i na holoholona o ke kula, a me na manu o ka lewa iloko o kou lima, a ua hooalii mai ia oe maluna o na mea a pau. O oe no ua poo gula la.
39 And, after thee, shall arise another kingdom, inferior to thee, —and another—a third kingdom, of bronze, which shall bear rule throughout all the earth.
A mahope o kou e hookuia ana he aupuni e, ua emi mai ia mahope o kou; a o ke kolu o ke aupuni [e hookuia mai] he keleawe ia; oia ka mea e alii ana maluna o ka honua a pau.
40 And, the fourth kingdom, shall be hard as iron, —in like manner as iron breaketh in pieces and crusheth all things, —even as iron which bringeth to ruins all these, shall it break in pieces and bring to ruins.
A o ka ha o ke aupuni e like auanei kona ikaika me he hao la: no ka. mea, o ka hao ka mea e weluwelu ai, a e okaoka loa ai na mea a pau; a e like me ka hao i hooweluwelu liilii ai i keia mau mea a pau, pela no oia e okaoka loa ai.
41 And, whereas thou sawest the feet and the toes, part of them of potter’s clay, and part of them of iron, the kingdom, shall be, divided, and, of the hardness of the iron, shall there be in it, —forasmuch as thou sawest, the iron, combined with the miry clay;
A i kou ike ana i na kapuwai a me na manamana wawae he palolo a ka potera kekahi, a he hao kekahi, e maheleia ana ke aupuni; aka, o ka ikaika o ka hao kekahi mea iloko ona, e like me kou ike ana i ka hao i huipuia'i me ka palolo.
42 and, the toes of the feet, part of them, iron, and, part, of clay, —some part of the kingdom, shall be strong, but, a part thereof, shall be brittle;
E like me ua mau manamana wawae la he hao kekahi a he palolo kekahi, pela keia aupuni, he ikaika kekahi, a he nawaliwali kekahi.
43 and, whereas thou sawest, the iron, combined with the miry clay, they shall be combined with the seed of men, but shall not cleave firmly one to another, —lo! as iron is not to be combined with clay.
A me kou ike ana i ka hao i huipuia me ka palolo, pela lakou i huipuia'i me ka hua o kanaka; aole nae e pili pono kekahi i kekahi, e like me ka hao, aole pili pono i ka palolo.
44 And, in the days of those kings, shall the God of the heavens, set up, a kingdom which, to the ages, shall not be destroyed, and, the kingdom, to another people, shall not be left, —it shall break in pieces and make an end of all these kingdoms, but, itself, shall stand to the ages.
Ma na la o keia poe alii, e kukulu mai ai ke Akua o ka lani i aupuni mau loa, aole hoi e hoohioloia ia aupuni; aole nae ia e lilo no ka lahuikanaka e, aka, ia ia no e weluwelu hilii auanei a okaoka loa keia mau aupuni a pau, a e mau loa aku ana no ia.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that, out of the rock, a stone tare itself away, but not with hands, and brake in pieces the clay, the iron, the bronze, the silver and the gold, the mighty God, hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. Exact then is the dream, and trusty its interpretation.
A i kou ike ana i ua pohaku la i kalai lima ole ia'i mailoko mai o ka mauna, i weluwelu liilii ai ka hao, a me ke keleawe, a me ka palolo, a me ke kala, a me ke gula; oia ko ke Akua kiekie hoike ana mai i ke alii i na mea e hiki mai ana mahope; ua oiaio ka moe, a o kona hoike ua paa loa ia.
46 Then, King Nebuchadnezzar, fell upon his face, and, unto Daniel, paid adoration; and, a present and sweet odours, gave he word to pour out unto him.
Alaila, moe iho la o Nebukaneza ke alii ilalo ka maka, a hoomana aku la ia Daniela; a kauoha aku la oia i mohai aku lakou ia ia i ka mohai a me na mea ala.
47 The king answered Daniel, and said—Of a truth, your God, is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a Revealer of secrets, —seeing thou wast able to reveal this secret.
Olelo mai la ke alii ia Daniela, i mai, He oiaio no o ko oukou Akua he Akua ia o na akua, a he Haku o na'lii, oia hoi ka mea e hoakaka mai i na mea i ike ole ia, no ka mea, ia oe no e hiki ai ke hoakaka mai i keia mea i ike ole ia.
48 Then, the king, exalted, Daniel, and, many large presents, gave he unto him, and set him to be ruler over all the province of Babylon, —and chief of the nobles, over all the wise men of Babylon.
Alaila, hoolilo ae la ke alii ia Daniela i kanaka nui, haawi hoi ia ia i na makana he nui wale, a hoolilo ia ia i kiaaina o na aina a pau ma Babulona, a i luna hoi maluna o ka poe naauao a pau o Babulona.
49 And, Daniel, desired of the king, and he appointed—over the business of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, —but, Daniel himself, was in the gate of the king.
A noi aku la o Daniela i ke alii, a hoonoho iho la oia ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, maluna o ka oihana e pili ana i ka aina o Babulona: aka, o Daniela ua nobo ia ma ka ipuka o ke alii.
