Daniel 10
1 During the third year that Cyrus was the king of Persia, I Daniel, [who had been given the] name Belteshazzar, received [another] message [from God]. The message was true, but it was very difficult for me to understand it. But [later] I understood the message because of the vision that I had seen.
I KE kolu o ka makahiki o Kuro, ke alii o Peresia, ua hoikeia mai kekahi mea ia Daniela, ka mea i kapaia o Beletesaza; he oiaio keia mea, a na pili i na mea kaumaha nui; ua ike oia i ua mea la, a ua akaka ia ia ke ano o ka hihio.
2 At that time I had been sad for three weeks [about what had happened to Jerusalem].
Ia mau la no, owau o Daniela, kanikau iho la au i ekolu hebedoma.
3 I did not eat any tasty food or any meat or drink any wine. I did not even put any perfumed oil on my [face or hair] for those three weeks.
Aole au i ai i ka berena maikai, aole hoi i hookomoia ka io, a me ka waina iloko o kuu waha, aole loa au i hamo ia'u iho, a pau ua mau hebedoma la ekolu.
4 [When those three weeks ended, ] on April 23, [my companions and] I were standing on the bank of the great Tigris River.
A i ka la iwakaluakumamaha, o ka malama mua, i ko'u noho ana ma ke kapa o ka muliwai nui, o Hidekela;
5 I looked up and saw someone there who was wearing fine white/linen clothes and a belt [made of] pure gold.
Alaila, leha ae la ko'u mau maka, nana aku ia au, aia hoi, he kanaka ua aahuia i ke kapa olona, a o kona puhaka ua kakooia i ke gula maikai o Upaza:
6 His body [shone] like a precious beryl stone. His face was as [bright as] a flash of lightning. His eyes [were/shone] like flaming torches. His arms and legs [shone] like polished bronze. And his voice was [very loud], like the roar of a huge crowd.
O kona kino ua like ia me ka topaza, a o kona helehelena maka ua like ia me ka uila, o kona mau maka ua like ia me na kukuiahi, o kona mau lima a me na wawae ua like me ke keleawe melemele i anaiia, a o ka leo o kana olelo ana ua like ia me ka leo o ka lehulehu.
7 I, Daniel, was the only one who saw this vision. The men who were with me did not see anything, but [they sensed that someone was there, and they] became terrified. They ran away and hid themselves.
A owau wale no, o Daniela, ka i ike i kela mea i hoikeia; o na kanaka pu me au, aole lakou i ike ia mea; aka, ua haule iho maluna o lakou ka eehia nui, a holo kiki aku lakou a pee aku la.
8 So I was left there by myself, looking at this very unusual vision. I had no strength left. My face became very pale, with the result that no one would have recognized me.
Nolaila, owau wale no ka i koe iho, a ua ike no au ia hihio nui, aole nae he ikaika i koe iloko o'u; no ka mea, ua lilo ko'u helehelena me he keokeo make la, aole ikaika i koe iloko o'u.
9 I saw a man there, and when I heard him speak, I fell to the ground. I (fainted/became unconscious), [and I lay there] with my face on the ground.
Ua lohe no nae au i ka leo o kana olelo; a i kuu lohe ana i ka leo o kana olelo, alaila hiamoe loa iho la au ma ko'u maka, a ilalo ko'u maka i ka honua.
10 Suddenly someone’s hand took hold of me and lifted me, with the result that I was on my hands and knees, [but I was still] trembling.
Aia hoi, hoopaa mai la kekahi lima ia'u, a hoala mai la ia'u ma ko'u mau kuli, a me na poho lima o'u.
11 The man said to me, “Daniel, [God] loves you very much. Stand up and listen to what I am going to say to you, because [God] sent me to you.” When he said that, I stood up, [but I was still] trembling.
I mai la ia ia'u, E Daniela, ke kanaka i aloha nui ia, e hoomaopopo mai oe i na olelo a'u e olelo aku nei ia oe, a e ku iluna; no ka mea, ia oe no ka'u i hoounaia mai ai. A i kana olelo ana mai ia'u i keia olelo, ku ae la au iluna me ka haalulu.
12 Then he said to me, “Daniel, do not be afraid. God has heard what you have prayed ever since the first day that you determined to humble yourself in order to understand [the vision]. I have come to you because of what you prayed.
Alaila, olelo mai la oia ia'u, Mai makau oe, e Daniela, no ka mea, mai ka la mua mai au i hoomakaukau ai i kou naau e hoomaopopo aku, a e hoohaabaa ia oe iho imua. o kou Akua, ua loheia kau mau olelo, a no kau mau olelo, ua hiki mai nei au.
13 The [evil spirit who] rules the kingdom of Persia resisted/hindered me for 21 days, but Michael, who is one of God’s chief angels, came to help me. I left him there in Persia [to resist] that evil spirit who rules there.
Aka, o ke alii o ke aupuni o Peresia, ua ku e mai ia'u he iwakalua na la a me kumamakahi. Aka hoi, ua hele mai o Mikaela, kekahi o na'lii nui e kokua mai ia'u, a ua noho au malaila me na'lii o Peresia.
14 I have come here to enable you to understand what will happen to the Israeli people in the future. [Do not forget that] the vision [that you saw] is about [things that will happen in] the distant future, [not about things that will happen very soon].”
Ano, ua hele mai nei au e hoakaka i ike oe i na mea e hiki mai ana i kou poe kanaka i na la mahope; no ka mea, ua nui na la i koe o ua hihio la.
15 While he was saying that, I stared at the ground and was unable to say anything [because I was very afraid].
A i kana olelo ana mai ia'u i keia mau olelo, haka pono iho la au i ka honua, a paa iho la kuu leo.
16 Suddenly [the angel], who resembled a human, touched my lips. Then [I was able to speak, and] I said to him, “Sir, because [I have seen] this vision, I have become very weak, with the result that I cannot stop trembling.
Aia hoi kekahi ua like me ke ano o ke kanaka, hoopa mai la ia i ko'u lehelehe; alaila oaka ao la ko'u waha, a olelo aku la au i ka mea e ku ana imua o'u, i aku, E kuu Haku, no ua hihio la ua hoi hou ko'u weliweli maluna o'u, aole loa o'u ikaika i koe.
17 I am not able [RHQ] to talk to you, my master. I have no strength left, and it is very difficult for me to breathe.”
Pehea la e hiki ai i ke kauwa a kuu Haku nei ke kamailio pu me kuu Haku? No ka mea, owau, ua emo ole, aole ikaika i koe iloko o'u, aole hoi he hanu iloko o'u.
18 But he took hold of me again, and enabled me to become stronger again.
Alaila, hele hou mai kekahi e like me ke kanaka kona ano, a hoopa mai ia'u, a hooikaika mai ia'u,
19 He said to me, “You human, God loves you very much. [So] do not be afraid. I desire/want things to go well for you and that you will be encouraged.” When he had said that, I felt even stronger, and I said, “Sir, tell me [what you want to tell me]. You have enabled me to feel stronger.”
I mai la ia, e ke kanaka i aloha nui ia, mai makau oe; he maluhia kou; e ikaika oe, oia e ikaika oe. A i kana olelo ana mai ia'u, ua ikaika ae la au, i aku la au, E olelo mai, e kuu Haku, no ka mea, ua hooikaika mai oe ia'u.
20 Then he said, “(Do you know why I came to you?/I will tell you why I came to you.) [RHQ] It is to reveal to you what is written in the book which reveals/contains God’s truth. But now I must return to fight against [the evil spirit] who rules the kingdom of Persia. After I have defeated him, [the evil angel] who guards Greece will appear [and I must defeat him]. Michael, who guards you [Israeli people], will help me, but there is no one else to help me.”
Alaila, olelo mai la oia, Ua ike anei oe i ka'u mea i hele mai ai ia oe? Ano e hoi ana au e kana aku i ke alii o Peresia; a i ko'u puka ana aku iwaho, aia hoi, e hiki mai no ke alii o Helene.
Aka, e hoike aku au ia oe i na mea i kakauia ma ka palapala oiaio; aohe mea e kokua mai ia'u ma keia mau mea, o Mikaela wale no o kou alii.
