Daniel 7
1 [Previously, ] during the first year that Belshazzar was the king of Babylonia, I had a dream and a vision one night as I lay on my bed. [The next morning] I wrote down what I had dreamed. This is what I wrote:
I KA makahiki mua o Belehazara, ke alii o Babulona, he moe uhane ko Daniela, a me ka lia o kona poo maluna o kona wahi moe. Alaila palapala iho la o Daniela i ua moe la, a hoike aku ia i ka nui o ia mau mea.
2 I, Daniel, had a vision last night. In the vision I saw that strong winds were blowing from all four directions, stirring up [the water in] the ocean.
Olelo aku la o Daniela, i aku, Ua ike au ma ko'u hihio ana i ka po, aia hoi, ua paio ikaika ae la ua makani eha o ka lani maluua iho o ke kai nui.
3 Then [I saw] four beasts coming out of the ocean. All four of them were different.
A hoea mai la na holoholona nui eha mailoko mai o ke kai, ua like ole ko lakou ano kekahi me kekahi.
4 The first one resembled a lion, but it had wings like an eagle has. But as I watched, something tore off its wings {its wings were pulled off}. The beast was left there, standing on its two hind/rear legs, like a human being stands. And it was given a mind like humans have.
O ka mua, ua like ia me ka liona, a he mau eheu aeto kona; ike aku la au a mokumokuia iho la kona mau eheu, a hapaiia ae la ia iluna mai ka honua ae, a hookuia ae la ma na wawae me he kanaka la, a haawiia aku he naau kanaka noua.
5 The second beast resembled a bear. It was crouching, and it held between its teeth three ribs [from another animal that it had killed and eaten]. Someone said to it {It was told}, “Stand up and eat as much meat [as you want]!”
Aia hoi, kekahi holoholona e, o ka lua ia, o kona ano ua like ia me ka bea, hoala ae la oia ia ia iho ma kona aoao iho, aia hoi, ekolu iwi aoao iloko o kona waha iwaena o kona mau niho; a olelu ae la lakou ia ia, E ku ae oe, e ai i ka io he nui.
6 Then I saw in front of me the third of those beasts. It resembled a leopard, but it had four wings protruding from its back. The wings were like a bird’s wings. It had four heads. It was given the power/authority to rule [people].
A mahope iho o keia, ike aku ia au, aia hoi kekahi, ua like me ka leopadi, a maluua o kona kua eha mau eheu manu; eha no hoi poo o ua holoholona la; a ua haawiia mai ia ia ke alii ana.
7 In the vision I saw a fourth beast. It was stronger than the other beasts, and it was more terrifying. It crushed other creatures with its huge iron teeth and ate their flesh. The parts of animals that it did not grind with its teeth, it trampled [on the ground]. It was different from the other three beasts: It had ten horns [on its head].
A mahopo iho o keia, ike hou aku la au ma ka hihio ana i ka po, aia hoi kekahi holoholona e, o ka ha ia, he mea weliweli loa ia, he mea makau nui, he nui hoi kona ikaika; he mau niho hao nui kona, ua ai wale aku ia, a okaoka liilii, a hehi iho la ia i ke koena malalo o kona mau wawae; aole ia i like iki me na holoholona mamua. He umi hoi na pepeiaohao ona.
8 While I was looking at those horns, I saw a little horn appear [on the head of that beast]. It tore out three of the other horns. This little horn had eyes like humans have, and it had a mouth [with which it spoke] very boastfully.
I ko'u noonoo ana i ua mau pepeiaohao la, aia hoi, kupu mai la iwaenakonu o lakou kekahi pepeiaohao uuku, uhukiia ae la imua ona na pepeiaohao mua ekolu: a iloko o ua pepeiaohao uuku la, aia hoi, he mau maka me he maka kanaka la, a he waha hoi e olelo ana i na mea nui.
9 [Then] while I watched, thrones were put in the places [where they belonged], and [God], the one who had been living forever, sat on one of the thrones. His clothes were as white as snow, and his hair was as white as pure/clean wool. His throne had wheels that were blazing with fire, and his throne was [also] blazing.
Ike aku la au, a ua kauia iho la na nohoalii, a ua noho mai la ka Makamua o na la, ua huali loa kona kapa e like me ka hau, a o ka lauoho o kona poo ua like me ka hulu hipa maemae; o kona nohoalii, ua like ia me ka lapalapa ana o ke ahi, a o kona mau kaa e like me ke ahi e aa ana.
10 A fire was rushing out of in front of him like a stream. Many thousands [of people] (OR, [angels]) [were there] serving him, and millions [of other people] (OR, [angels]) were standing in front of him. They started (the court session/judging people), and they opened the books [in which they had written the record of all the good and bad things that people had done].
A puka mai la kekahi lapala pa ahi a kahe ae mai kona alo aku: lawelawe nona na tausani o na tausani, a ku iho la imua ona ua lehulehu o na lehulehu: ua hoonohoia iho la ka hookolokolo, a weheia ae la na buke.
11 While I was watching, I could hear the little horn speaking very boastfully. As I [continued to] watch, the [fourth] beast was killed. Its corpse was thrown into a fire and completely burned.
Nana aku la au, a no ka leo o na huaolelo nui a ua pepeiaohao la i olelo ai; nana au a pepehiia iho la ka holoholona, a ua lukuia kona kino, a ua hooleiia no hoi ma ke ahi e aa ana.
12 The power/authority of the other [three] beasts was taken away from them, but they were allowed to continue to live for a while.
A o na holoholona i koe, ua laweia'ku ko lakou alii ana; aka ua hooloihiia ko lakou ola ana no kekahi manawa a me ka wa.
13 While I [continued to] see the vision that night, I saw someone who resembled a human being. He was coming [closer to me], surrounded by clouds. Then he was taken to [God], the one who had been living forever.
A ike aku la no hoi au ma ka hihio ana i ka po, aia hoi, kekahi ua like ia me ke keiki a ke kanaka e hele mai ana ma na ao o ka lani, a hele mai no ia i ka Makamua o na la, a hookokoke lakou ia ia imua ona.
14 He was honored and given great authority to rule over all the nations in the world, in order that people from every people-group and every nation, people from all language groups, would worship/serve him. He will rule forever; he will never stop ruling. The kingdom that he rules will never be destroyed.
A ua haawiia mai nona ke alii ana, a me ka nani, a me ke aupuni, i hookauwa nana na lahuikanaka, a me ko na aina, a me na olelo e. O kona alii ana ua mau loa ia, aole ia e pau, a o kona aupuni, aole ia e auhulihia.
15 As for me, Daniel, I was very terrified by what I had seen in that vision, and I did not know what to think about it.
Owau, o Daniela nei, ua kaumaha loa kuu naau iloko o kuu kino, a ua pihoihoi au i na lia o kuu poo.
16 I went to one of those who were standing in front of the throne of God, and I asked him to tell me what it meant. So he told me the meaning of it.
Hookokoke aku la au i kekahi o na mea e ku ana malaila, a ninau aku la au ia ia i ka oiaio ana o keia mau mea a pau. Alaila hai mai la oia ia'u, a hoakaka mai ia'u i ke ano o keia mau mea.
17 [He said], “The four huge beasts represent four kingdoms/empires that will exist on the earth.
O keia mau holoholona nui eha, he mau alii lakou eha, na mea e hoea iluna mai ka honua ae.
18 But the Supreme God will give power/authority to his people [to rule], and they shall rule forever.”
Aka, o na haipule o ka Mea kiekie loa, e lilo ia lakou ke aupuni; a ia lakou no ke aupuni ia ao aku, ia ao aku, a mau loa aku no.
19 Then I wanted to know what the fourth beast signified—[the beast] that was different from the other three, the beast that crushed [those that it attacked] with its bronze claws, and [then] ate [their flesh] with its iron teeth, and trampled on the parts of their bodies [that it did not eat].
Alaila, makemake aku la au e ike i ke ano o ka ha o ua mau holoholona la, i ka mea i ano e i ko lakou a pau, i ka mea weliweli loa, nona na niho hao, a me na maiuu keleawe; ka mea nana i luku a okaoka loa, a hehi no hoi i ke koena malalo o kona mau wawae;
20 [I also wanted to know about] the ten horns on its head, and about the horn that appeared later, which got rid of three of the other horns. [I wanted to know what it meant that] it had eyes and a mouth with which it spoke very boastfully. [The beast that was represented by] that horn was more terrifying than the other beasts.
A o kona mau pepeiaohao he umi maluna o kona poo, a me kekahi mea i kupu ae, ua hina hoi na mea ekolu imua ona; ua pepeiaohao la nona na maka, a me ka waha hoi e olelo ana i na mea nui, a ua oi aku ka ikaika o kona maka mamua o ko kona poe hoa.
21 While I was having the vision, I saw that this horn attacked God’s people and was defeating them.
Ike aku la au i ua pepeiaohao la e kaua aku ana ia i ka poe haipule, a lanakila ia maluna o lakou;
22 But then the Supreme God, the one who had been living forever, came and judged in favor of the people who belonged to him. And [I knew that] it was time for God’s people to receive authority [to rule].
A hiki mai la ka Makamua o na la, a haawiia mai i ka poe haipule o ka Mea kiekie ka hoopai ana; a ua hiki mai ka manawa e lilo ai ke aupuni i ka poe haipule.
23 [Then] the man who was standing there said [to me], “The fourth beast represents an empire that will exist on the earth; that [empire] will be different from all [other] empires. [The army of] that empire will crush/kill [people all over] the world and trample [on their bodies].
Penei kana i i mai ai, O ka ha o ua mau holoholona la, o ka ha no ia o ke aupuni ma ka honua, he mea ano e ia i na aupuni a pau; a e luku loa ia i ko ka honua, a e hehi ia mea ilalo, a okaoka liilii loa.
24 As for its ten horns, they represent ten kings who will rule that empire, [one after the other]. Then another [king] will appear. He will be different from the previous kings. He will defeat the three kings [that were represented by the three horns that were pulled out].
A o na pepeiaohao he umi noloko mai no o keia aupuni, he mau alii ia he umi e ku mai ana; a o kekahi mea e ku mai ana no mahope o lakou; aole like ia me ka mea mua, a e luku hoi ia i na'lii ekolu.
25 He will revile the Supreme God, and he will oppress God’s people. He will try to change the [sacred] festivals and their [religious] laws/regulations. He will control them for three and a half years.
A e olelo ia i na mea nui ku e i ka Mea kiekie, a e hookaumaha aku ia i ka poe haipule o ka Mea kiekie loa, a e manao iho no ia e hookahuli i na manawa, a me na kanawai; a e haawiia ia mau mea iloko o kona lima, a hiki i ka manawa, a me kekahi manawa, a me ka mahele o ka manawa.
26 But there will be a session/meeting of the court/judges in heaven, and that king’s authority/power will be taken away, and he will be completely destroyed.
Alaila, e hoonohoia ka hookolokolo, a e laweia aku ke aupuni mai ona aku la, e hoopauia ua mea la, a e lukuia hoi, a hiki i ka hopeua.
27 Then all the power and the greatness of all the kingdoms on the earth will be given to the people who belong to the Supreme God. The kingdom that he rules (OR, they rule) will endure forever. And the rulers of all the nations on the earth will serve and obey him (OR, them).”
Aka, o ke aupuni, a me ke alii ana, a o ka nani o ke aupuni malalo iho o na lani a puni, e haawiia mai i na kanaka haipule o ka Mea kiekie, o kona aupuni he aupuni mau loa ia; ao na'lii a pau, e hookauwa aku, a e malama aku no hoi ia ia.
28 That is [what I saw in] my vision/dream. I, Daniel, was terrified, with the result that my face became pale. But I did not tell anyone about the vision [that I had seen].
Eia ka hope o keia mea; Owau, o Daniela, ua kaumaha au i kuu manao iho, ua ano e ko'u maka; aka, ua huna au i keia mea iloko o ko'u naau iho.
