< Daniel 5 >
1 Belshazzar king the he made a feast great for nobles his a thousand and before thousand the wine [he was] drinking.
Naʻe ngaohi ʻe Pelesasa ko e tuʻi ha kātoanga kai ki hono ngaahi houʻeiki ʻe toko taha afe, pea ne inu uaine ʻi he ʻao ʻoe toko taha afe.
2 Belshazzar he said - in [the] taste of wine the to bring [the] vessels of gold and silver which he had brought out Nebuchadnezzar father his from temple the which [was] in Jerusalem so they may drink with them king the and nobles his wives his and concubines his.
ʻI heʻene kei inu ʻae uaine naʻe fekau ʻe Pelesasa ke ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ipu koula, mo e ngaahi ipu siliva, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻe heʻene tamai ko Nepukanesa mei he falelotu lahi ʻaia naʻe ʻi Selūsalema; koeʻuhi ke inu mei ai ʻe he tuʻi mo e houʻeiki, mo hono ngaahi uaifi, mo hono kau sinifu.
3 Then they brought [the] vessels of gold which they had brought out from temple the which [was] [the] house of God which [was] in Jerusalem and they drank with them king the and nobles his wives his and concubines his.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ipu koula, ʻaia naʻe ʻave mei he potu tapu ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻi Selūsalema; pea naʻe inu mei ai ʻae tuʻi mo e houʻeiki, mo hono ngaahi uaifi, pea mo hono kau sinifu.
4 They drank wine the and they praised [the] gods of gold and silver bronze iron wood and stone.
Naʻa nau inu uaine, mo fakamālō ki he ngaahi ʻotua koula, pea mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea, mo e ʻakau, pea mo e maka.
5 At it moment the (they went forth *Q(K)*) fingers of a hand of a human and [they were] writing before candlestick the on plaster the of [the] wall of palace the of king the and king the [was] seeing [the] palm of hand the which [was] writing.
ʻI he feituʻu pō ko ia naʻe hā mai ʻae louhiʻi nima ʻoe tangata, ʻoku tohi ʻi he funga ʻoe holisi fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo feʻunga mo e tuʻunga maama; pea naʻe mamata ʻae tuʻi ki he louhiʻi nima naʻe tohi.
6 Then king the brightness his they changed him and thoughts his they alarmed him and [the] joints of loin[s] his [were] loosened and knees his this [one] to this [one] [were] knocking.
Pea naʻe fakakehe ʻae fofonga ʻoe tuʻi, pea ko ʻene ngaahi mahalo naʻe puputuʻu ai ia; ko ia naʻe homo ai ʻae ngaahi hokotanga ʻo hono kongaloto, pea naʻe fetaposi ʻa hono ongo tui,
7 [was] calling King the with power to bring in conjurers the (Chaldeans the *Q(K)*) and astrologers the [was] replying king the and [was] saying - to [the] wise men of Babylon that any person who he will read aloud writing the this and interpretation its he will declare to me purple he will be clothed (and necklace the *Q(k)*) of gold [will be] on neck his and third in kingdom the he will rule.
Pea naʻe kalanga ʻae tuʻi ke ʻomi ʻae kau ʻasitolōnoma, mo e kau Kalitia, pea mo e kau kikite. Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi, ʻo ne pehē ki he kau tangata poto ʻo Papilone, “ʻIlonga ha taha ʻe lau ʻae tohi ni mo fakahā kiate au hono ʻuhinga, ʻe fakakofuʻaki ia ʻae kulokula, pea ʻe ʻai ʻae kahoa koula ki hono kia, pea te ne hoko ko hono toko tolu ʻi he kau pule ʻoe puleʻanga.”
8 Then ([were] going in *Q(k)*) all [the] wise men of king the and not [they were] able writing the to read aloud (and interpretation its *Q(K)*) to make known to king the.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻae tuʻi: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa lau ʻae tohi pe fakahā ki he tuʻi hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia.
9 Then king the Belshazzar exceedingly [was] alarmed and brightness his [were] changing on him and nobles his [were] dumbfounded.
Pea naʻe puputuʻu lahi ʻaupito ʻae tuʻi ko Pelesasa, pea naʻe kehe ʻa hono fofonga ʻiate ia, pea naʻe ofo lahi ʻa hono ngaahi houʻeiki.
10 Queen the before [the] words of king the and nobles his to [the] house of feast the (she went in *Q(k)*) she replied queen the and she said king O for ever live! may not they alarm you thought[s] your and brightness your may not they be changed.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻae tuʻi mo hono ngaahi houʻeiki, naʻe hū ai ʻae tuʻi fefine ki he fale kai: pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi fefine ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE tuʻi ke ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata: ʻoua naʻa ke mamahi ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakakaukau, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fofonga kehe:
11 There [is] a man in kingdom your who a spirit of gods holy [is] in him and in [the] days of father your illumination and insight and wisdom like [the] wisdom of gods it was found in him and king the Nebuchadnezzar father your chief of [the] magicians conjurers Chaldeans astrologers he appointed him father your king the.
ʻOku ai ʻae tangata ʻi ho puleʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ʻatamai ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo tamai, naʻe ʻilo ʻiate ia ʻae maama, mo e ʻilo, mo e poto, ʻo hangē ko e poto ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua; ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa ko hoʻo tamai, ʻoku ou pehē, ʻae tuʻi ko hoʻo tamai, ko e pule ʻoe kau fai meʻa mana mo e kau ʻasitolōnoma, mo e kau Kalitia mo e kau kikite:
12 As to because that a spirit - extraordinary and understanding and insight an interpreter of dreams and declaring of riddles and loosening of knots it was found in him in Daniel whom king the he made name his Belteshazzar now Daniel let him be summoned and interpretation the he will declare.
Pea koeʻuhi naʻe ʻiate ia ha ʻatamai lelei, mo e ʻilo mo e poto, ʻi he fakahā ʻoe ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi misi, mo e ngaahi lea ʻilongataʻa, mo e fakatonutonu meʻa, naʻe ʻilo ʻi he Taniela ko ia, ʻaia naʻe fakahingoa ʻe he tuʻi ko Pelitisasa: pea ko eni, ui kia Taniela, pea ʻe fakahā ʻe ia hono ʻuhinga.”
13 Then Daniel he was brought before king the [was] replying king the and [was] saying to Daniel (you *Q(k)*) he [are] Daniel who [is] one of [the] sons of exile the of Judah whom he brought king the father my from Judah.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻa Taniela ki loto ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi. Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi kia Taniela ʻo pehē, “Ko koe, ko e Taniela ko ia ʻoku ʻoe fānau ʻoe pōpula ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻeku tamai mei Siutea?
14 And I have heard (concerning you *Q(k)*) that a spirit of gods [is] in you and illumination and insight and wisdom extraordinary it was found in you.
Kuo u fanongo kiate koe, ʻo pehē ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae ʻatamai ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, pea ʻoku ʻilo ʻiate koe ʻae maama, mo e ʻilo, pea mo e poto lelei.
15 And now they have been brought before me wise men the conjurers the that writing the this they will read aloud and interpretation its to make known to me and not [they were] able [the] interpretation of matter the to declare.
Pea ko eni, kuo ʻomi ki hoku ʻao ʻae kau tangata poto mo e kau ʻasitolōnoma, koeʻuhi ke nau lau ʻae tohi ni, pea fakahā mai kiate au ʻa hono ʻuhinga: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mafai ke fakahā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe meʻa
16 And I I have heard (concerning you *Q(k)*) that (you are able *Q(k)*) interpretations to interpret and knots to loosen now if (you will be able *Q(k)*) writing the to read aloud and interpretation its to make known to me purple you will be clothed (and necklace the *Q(k)*) of gold [will be] on neck your and third the in kingdom the you will rule.
Pea kuo u fanongo kiate koe, ʻo pehē, ʻoku ke faʻa fakatupu ʻuhinga mo fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻilongataʻa: pea ko eni, kapau te ke lau ʻae tohi, mo e fakakofuʻaki koe ʻae kulokula, pea ʻe ʻai ʻae kahoa koula ki ho kia, pea te ke hoko ko hono toko tolu ʻi he kau pule ʻoe puleʻanga.”
17 Then [was] replying Daniel and [say] saying before king the gifts your for yourself let them be and rewards your to another give! nevertheless writing the I will read aloud to king the and interpretation the I will make known to him.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Taniela ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ne pehēange, “Ke ʻiate koe hoʻo ngaahi meʻa foaki, pea tuku ʻa hoʻo ngaahi totongi ki ha taha kehe; ka te u lau ʻae tohi ki he tuʻi, pea te u fakahā kiate ia ʻa hono ʻuhinga.
18 (You *Q(k)*) king O God (Most High the *Q(k)*) kingdom the and greatness the and honor the and majesty the he gave to Nebuchadnezzar father your.
“Ko koe, ʻe tuʻi, naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, kia Nepukanesa ko hoʻo tamai, ha puleʻanga mo e mālohi, mo e nāunau, mo e fakaʻapaʻapa;
19 And from greatness the which he gave to him all peoples the nations the and languages the they were (trembling *Q(k)*) and fearing from before him whom he was pleased he was killing and whom he was pleased he was letting live and whom he was pleased he was lifting up and whom he was pleased he was bringing low.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he mālohi naʻa ne tuku kiate ia, naʻe tetetete mo manavahē kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi kakai, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e ngaahi lea kotoa pē: ko ia naʻa ne loto ki ai naʻa ne tāmateʻi; pea ko ia naʻa ne loto ki ai naʻa ne fakamoʻui; pea ko ia naʻa ne loto ki ai naʻa ne hakeakiʻi; pea ko ia naʻa ne loto ki ai naʻa ne fakahifo.
20 And as that it rose up heart his and spirit his it grew strong to act presumptuously he was deposed from [the] throne of kingdom his and honor the they removed from him.
Ka ʻi he angahiki ʻa hono loto, mo e fakafefeka ʻa hono loto ʻi he laukau, naʻe fakahifo ia mei hono nofoʻanga fakatuʻi, pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻa hono nāunau meiate ia;
21 And away from [the] sons of humankind he was chased and heart his - with animal[s] the (they made *Q(K)*) and [was] with wild donkeys the dwelling place his grass like oxen they fed him and from [the] dew of heavens the body his it became wet until that he knew that [was] having mastery God (Most High the *Q(k)*) over [the] kingdom of humankind and to whomever whom he will be pleased he will appoint (over it. *Q(K)*)
Pea naʻe kapusi ia mei he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata; pea naʻe ngaohi hono loto ke hangē ko e loto ʻoe fanga manu, pea naʻa ne nofoʻanga fakataha mo e fanga ʻasi kai vao: naʻa nau fafanga ia ʻaki ʻae mohuku ʻo hangē ko e fanga pulu, pea naʻe viviku hono sino ʻi he hahau ʻoe langi; kaeʻoua ke ne ʻilo ʻe ia, naʻe pule ʻae ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe tangata, pea ʻoku ne tuʻutuʻuni ki ai ʻaia ʻoku ne faʻiteliha ki ai.
22 (And you *Q(k)*) son his O Belshazzar not you have brought low heart your as to because that all this you knew.
“Ka ko koe ko hono foha ʻe Pelesasa, naʻe ʻikai te ke fakavaivaiʻi ho loto, ka naʻa ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pe.
23 And against [the] lord of heavens the - you have lifted yourself up and vessels the of house his they have brought (before you and you and nobles your *Q(k)*) wives your and concubines your wine [are] drinking with them and [the] gods of silver and gold bronze iron wood and stone who not [are] seeing and not [are] hearing and not [are] knowing you have praised and God the who breath your [is] in hand his and all ways your [are] to him not you have glorified.
Ka kuo ke fakahikihiki koe ki he ʻEiki ʻoe langi, pea kuo nau omi ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻo hono fale ki ho ʻao, pea ko koe mo hoʻo ngaahi houʻeiki, mo hoʻo ngaahi uaifi, mo hoʻo kau fefine, kuo mou inu kava mei ai; pea kuo ke fakamālō ki he ngaahi ʻotua siliva, mo e koula, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea, mo e ʻakau, mo e maka, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ke mamata, pe fanongo, pe ʻilo: pea ko e ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hono nima ʻa hoʻo mānava, pea ʻoku ʻoʻona ho ngaahi hala kotoa pē, naʻe ʻikai te ke fakamālōʻi.
24 Then from before him it was sent out palm the of hand the and writing the this it was inscribed.
Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻae louhiʻi nima meiate ia; pea ko eni ʻae tohi naʻe tohi.
25 And this [is] writing the which it was inscribed mene mene teqel and pharsin.
“Pea ko eni ʻae tohi ʻaia naʻe tohi, ‘MINE, MINE, TEKELI, UFASINI:’
26 This [is] [the] interpretation of matter the mene he has numbered God kingdom your and he has finished it.
Pea ko hono ʻuhinga eni ʻoe lea: MINE; Kuo lau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ho puleʻanga, pea kuo fakaʻosi ia.
27 Teqel you have been weighed in scales the and you have been found lacking.
TIKELI; Kuo fakamamafa koe ʻi he meʻa fua tautau, pea kuo ʻilo koe ʻoku ke maʻamaʻa.
28 Peres it has been broken in two kingdom your and it has been given to Medes and Persians.
PELESI; kuo vahevahe ʻa ho puleʻanga, pea kuo tuku ki he kau Mitia mo e kau Peasia.”
29 Then - he said Belshazzar and they clothed Daniel purple (and necklace the *Q(k)*) of gold [was] on neck his and they made proclamation concerning him that he will be having mastery third the in kingdom the.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Pelesasa, ke nau fakakofu ʻa Taniela ʻaki ʻae kulokula, pea naʻe ʻai ʻae kahoa koula ki hono kia, pea naʻe fanongonongo ia, ke ne hoko ko hono toko tolu ia ʻi he pule ʻoe puleʻanga.
30 On it on night the he was killed Belshazzar king the (Chaldeans the. *Q(k)*)
ʻI he pō ko ia naʻe mate tāmateʻi ʻa Pelesasa, ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau Kalitia.
31 And Darius (Median the *Q(K)*) he received kingdom the about a son of years sixty and two.
Pea naʻe faʻao ʻae puleʻanga ʻe Talaiasi ko e Mitia, ʻi hono onongofulu ma ua taʻu nai ʻo ʻene motuʻa.
