Daniel 3
1 King Nebuchadnezzar ordered his men to make a gold statue. It was (90 feet/27 meters) high and (9 feet/2.7 meters) wide. They set it up in the Dura plain in Babylon province.
HANA iho la o Nebukaneza ke alii i kii gula, o kona kiekie he kanaono kubita, a o kona laula eono ia kubita; a kukulu iho la oia ia mea ma ka papu o Dura, ma ka aina o Babulona.
2 Then he sent messages to all the provincial governors, the district governors, the chief advisors, the counselors, the various judges, and all the other officials in the province. He told them to come to the dedication of the statue that he had set up.
Alaila, hoouna aku la o Nebukaneza ke alii, e hoakoakoa mai i na'lii, a me na kiaaina, i na luna koa, ua lunakanawai, a me na lunawaiwai, i na kakaolelo, a me na ilamuku, a me na luna a pau o na aina, e hele mai no ka hoolaa ana i ua kii la a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai.
3 When they all arrived, they all stood in front of that statue.
Alaila, ua hoakoakoaia mai na'lii, a me na kiaaina, i na luna koa, na lunakanawai, a me na lunawaiwai, na kakaolelo, a me na ilamuku, a me na luna a pau o na aina, no ka hoolaa ana i ke kii a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai: a ku lakou imua o ua kii la a Nebukaneza i kukulu ai.
4 Then an announcer shouted, “You people who come from many countries and many people-groups and [who speak many] languages, listen to what the king has commanded!
A kahea aku la ka luna kukala me ka leo nui, Ua kauohaia mai oukou, e na kanaka, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na elelo,
5 When you hear the sounds made by the trumpets, the flutes, the guitars, the harps, the wind instruments, and all the other musical instruments, bow down to worship King Nebuchadnezzar’s gold statue.
I ka wa a oukou e lohe ai i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, a me ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka violaumi, a me ka dukima, a me na mea kani a pau, alaila e moe kukuli iho oukou, a e hoomana aku i ke kii gula a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai:
6 Anyone who refuses to do that will be thrown into a blazing furnace!”
A o ka mea i moe ole ilalo, a hoomana ole aku, ia hora no e hooleiia aku ai oia iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
7 So when all those people who had gathered heard the sounds made by the musical instruments, they all bowed down to worship the statue.
No ia mea, ia manawa, i ka lohe ana o kanaka a pau i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, a me ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka violaumi, a me na mea kani a pau, a e moe kukuli iho na kauaka a pau, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na elelo, a hoomana aku lakou i ua kii gula la a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai.
8 But some of the men who studied the stars went to the king.
A ia manawa no, hele mai la kekahi o ka poe Kaledea, a hoopii aku no kekahi o ka poe Iudaio.
9 They reported to him, “We hope that you, O king, will live a long time!
Olelo aku lakou, i aku la ia Nebukaneza i ke alii, E ke alii, e ola mau loa oe.
10 You decreed that all the officials [whom you had gathered] should bow down and worship the gold statue when they heard the sounds made by the musical instruments.
Ua kau mai oe, e ke alii, i kanawai penei, Aia lohe na kanaka a pau i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka violaumi a me ka dukima, a me na mea kani a pau, e moe kukuli iho lakou a hoomana aku i ua kii gula la.
11 You also decreed that those who refused to do that would be thrown into a blazing furnace.
A o ka mea i moe ole ilalo, a hoomana ole, e hooleiia aku oia iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
12 Sir, there are some men from Judah whom you have appointed to be officials in Babylon province who have not obeyed your decree. Their names are Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They have refused to worship your god and the gold statue that you have set up.”
Aia hoi kekahi mau kanaka no ka poe Iudaio, na mea au i hoonoho ai maluna o na mea ma ka aina o Babulona, o Saderaka, o Mesaka, a o Abedenego; o keia mau kanaka, ea, aole lakou e hoolohe i kau, e ke alii e; aole lakou malama i kou mau akua, aole no hoi lakou i hoomana aku i ke kii gula au i kukulu ai.
13 Nebuchadnezzar became very angry. He commanded [his soldiers] to bring in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. When they were brought to him,
Alaila, kauoha aku la o Nebukaneza, me kona huhu a me kona ukiuki loa, E alakai mai ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego; a ua alakaiia mai no keia mau kanaka imua o ke alii.
14 Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true that you three men have refused to worship my gods or the gold statue that I have set up?
Olelo aku o Nebukaneza, i aku la ia lakou, Ma ko oukou manao anei ia, e Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego? Aole anei oukou e malama i ko'u mau akua, aole hoi i hoomana i ke kii gala a'u i kukulu ai?
15 [If that is true, ] I will give you one more chance. If you bow down to worship the statue that I have set up when you hear the sounds of the musical instruments, fine. But if you refuse, you will be thrown immediately into the blazing furnace. Then (what god will be able to rescue you from my power?/no god will be able to rescue you from my power!)” [RHQ]
Ina hoi e noho makaukau oukou, i ka wa a oukou e lohe ai i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, a me ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka dukima, a me ka violaumi, a me na mea kani a pau, a e moe iho oukou e hoomana aku i ke kii gula a'u i kukulu ai, ua pono; aka, i ole oukou e hoomana aku, ia hora no, e hooleiia'i oukou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana. A owai la ke Akua nana oukou e hoopakele mai kuu lima aku?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, “Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend our [actions] to you in this matter.
Olelo mai la o Saderaka, o Mesaka, a me Abedenego, i mai la i ke alii, E Nebukaneza, aole o makou mea e pane aku ai i kau ma keia mea.
17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we worship is able to rescue us. Sir, he will rescue us from your power.
Ina pela, o ko makou Akua ka mea a makou e malama nei, e hiki no ia ia ke hoopakele ia makou mai ka umu ahi e aa ana, a e hoopakele no hoi ia makou mai kou lima aku, e ke alii.
18 But [even] if he does not [rescue us], you need to know that we will never worship your gods or the gold statue that you have set up.”
A i ole hoi ia, e ike auanei oe, e ke alii, aole makou e malama i kou mau akua, aole hoi makou e hoomana aku i ke kii gula au i kukulu ai.
19 Nebuchadnezzar was extremely angry. [His being very angry even] showed on his face. He commanded that the furnace should be made seven times as hot as usual.
Alaila, piha ae la o Nebukaneza i ka huhu, a ano e ae La kona helehelena ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego; a hoolale ae la oia e hoaa i ka umu ahi a pahiku ka enaena ana i kona mau e enaena ai.
20 [After that was done, ] he commanded some of the [very] strong men of his army to tie Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and [then] to throw them into the blazing furnace.
A kena aku la oia i na kanaka ikaika o kona poe koa, e nakinaki ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, a e hoolei ia lakou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
21 So [the soldiers] tied them up and threw them into the furnace, while they were wearing their clothes.
Alaila, nakinakiia iho la ua poe kanaka la me ko lakou mau lole wawae, a me na palule, a me na kapa aahu, a me na kapa e ae, a hooleiia lakou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
22 Because the fire had been made very hot because the king had very strongly ordered them to do that, the flames [leaped out and] killed the soldiers as they were throwing the men into the fire!
A no ka ikaika o ka ke alii kauoha a me ke okoko loa o ka enaena ana o ka umu ahi, nolaila, ua make i ke apoia e ke okoko ana o ke ahi ka poe kanaka nana i hapai o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego.
23 So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego fell into the roaring flames.
A o keia mau kanaka ekolu i nakinakiia, o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, haule no lakou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
24 But as Nebuchadnezzar was watching, he was amazed. He suddenly jumped up and shouted to his advisors, “Did we tie up three men and throw them into the flames, or not?” They replied, “Yes, O king, [we did].”
Alaila, pihoihoi iho la o Nebukaneza ke alii, a ku koke oia iluna, olelo aku la ia i kona poe kuhina, i aku la, Aole anei kakou i hoolei aku i ekolu kanaka i nakinakiia iloko o ke ahi? I mai lakou ia ia, E ke alii e, he oiaio no ia.
25 Nebuchadnezzar shouted, “[Look]! I see four men in the fire! They have no ropes on them, they are walking around, and [the flames] are not hurting them! And the fourth man looks like a divine being!”
Olelo aku oia, i aku la, Aia hoi, ke ike nei au i na kanaka eha, aole i nakinakiia, e hele ana iloko o ke ahi, aole o lakou wela; a o ka ha, ua like ia me he keiki a ke Akua.
26 Nebuchadnezzar came closer to the opening of the flaming furnace, and he shouted, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, you who worship the Supreme God, come out of there! Come here!” So they stepped out of the fire.
Alaila, hookokoke aku la o Nebukaneza ma ka puka o ka umu ahi e aa ana, a olelo aku, i aku la, E Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, e na kauwa a ke Akua kiekie loa, e puka mai oukou, a e hele mai ia'u: alaila puka mai o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, mai loko mai o ke ahi.
27 Then all the king’s officials crowded around them. They saw that the flames had not harmed them. The flames had not [even] singed any of the hair on their heads or scorched any of their clothes! There was not [even] any smell of smoke on them!
Ua akoakoa iho la na alii, a me na kiaaina, a me na lunakoa, a me na kuhina o ke alii, a ike lakou i keia mau kanaka, aole lanakila ke ahi maluna o ko lakou mau kino, aole hoi i wela kekahi lauoho o ko lakou mau poo, aole i aa iki ia ko lakou kapa, aole hoi ka hohono ahi i pili ia lakou.
28 [Then] Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise the God whom Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego [worship]! He sent one of his angels to rescue these [three] men who worship him and trust in him. They ignored my command; they insisted that they would worship only their God, and were willing to die instead of worshiping any other god.
Alaila, olelo aku o Nebukaneza, i aku la, E hoomaikaiiia ke Akua o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, ka mea i hoouna mai i kona anela, a i hoopakele mai i kona poe kauwa, ka poe i manaoio aku ia ia; ua hoolohe ole lakou i ka olelo a ke alii, a ua haawi lakou i ko lakou mau kino, i ole lakou e malama, a e hoomana i na akua e, aka, i ko lakou Akua wale no.
29 Therefore, I am [now] making this decree: ‘If any people, from any country or people-group or any language group, criticize the God whom Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego worship, they will be cut in pieces and their houses [will be torn down and] made into a pile of rubble. There is no other god who can rescue people like this!’”
No ia mea, ke kau aku nei au i kanawai paa, O na kanaka a pau, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na olelo, ke hoino wale aku i ke Akua o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, e okioki liilii ia lakou, a e hooliloia ko lakou mau hale i hooleina moka; no ka mea, aohe akua e ae e hiki ai ke hoopakele e like me keia.
30 Then the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego more important positions in Babylon province than they had before.
No ia mea, hookiekie iho la ke alii ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, ma ka aina o Babulona.
