< Daniel 8 >

1 During the third year that Belshazzar was the King [of Babylonia], I had another vision.
I KA makahiki ekolu o ke au ia Belehazara ke alii, ua hoikeia mai ia'u ia Daniela nei, ka hihio mahope iho o ka mea i hoikeia mai ia'u mamua.
2 In that vision I was in Susa, the capital city of Elam Province. I was [standing] alongside the Ulai Canal.
Ua ike au ma ka hihio ana; a i kuu ike ana, ma ka pakaua no au ia wa, ma Susana, ma ka aina o Elama; a ike aku la au ma kuu hihio ana, aia no au ma ka muliwai o Ulai.
3 I looked up and saw a ram that was standing alongside the canal. It had two [long] horns, but the newest one was longer than the other one.
Alaila, leha ae la ko'u mau maka, a ike aku la au, aia hoi, he hipa kane e ku ana ma kapa o ka muliwai nona na pepeiaohao elua; ua kiekie kona mau pepeiaohao; ua oi aku uae ke kiekie o kekahi i ko kekahi, a o ka mea kiekie oia ka mea i ulu hope ae.
4 The ram butted/knocked away [with its horns] everything that was west and everything that was north and everything that was south of it. There were no [other] animals that were able to oppose it, and none that could rescue/save [other animals] from its power. The ram did whatever it wanted to do and became very powerful.
Ike aku la no hoi au i ua hipa kane la e hookui ana ma ke komohana, a me ke kukulu akau, a me ke kukulu hema; i ole e hiki i kekahi holoholona ke ku imua ona, aole nae i hiki i kekahi ko hoopakele ae mai kona lima aku; aka, hana iho la oia mamuli o kona makemake iho a lilo no ia i mea nui.
5 While I was thinking [about what I had seen, in the vision] I saw a goat come from the west. It ran across the land so quickly, that [it seemed like] its feet did not touch the ground. This goat had one very large horn between its eyes.
A i ko'u noonoo aia, aia hoi, he kao kane, holo mai la ia mai ke komohana mai, maluna o ka honua a pau, aole ia e paa iki ma ka lepo; a o ua kao kane la he pepeiaohao nui mawaenakonu o kona mau maka.
6 It was very angry, and it ran [straight] toward the ram that I had seen [previously, the ram] that was standing alongside the canal.
A hele mai la ia i ka hipakane nona ua mau pepeiaohao la elua, ka mea a'u i ike ai e ku ana ma ka muliwai, a holo aku la io na la, me ka huhu ikaika.
7 The goat struck the ram furiously and broke off its two horns, with the result that the ram was unable [to defend itself]. [So] the goat knocked the ram down and trampled on it. No one could rescue the ram from the goat’s power.
A i ko'u ike ana ia ia, hookokoke ia i ka hipakane, ua wela kona huhu ia ia, a kui ikaika aku la oia i ka hipakane, a haihaiia kona mau pepeiaohao; aole ikaika iloko O ka hipakane e ku imua ona, aka, hoolei oia ia ia ilalo i ka lepo, a hehi iho la ia maluna ona; aohe mea nana e hoopakele i ka hipakane mai kona lima aku.
8 The goat became very powerful. But when its power was very great, its horn was broken off. But four [other] large horns took its place. They each pointed in a different direction.
No ia mea, mahuahua loa ka ikaika o ua kao kane la; a i kona wa i ikaika loa ai, ua uhaiia kona pepeiaohao nui; a ua paniia no hoi Kona hakahaka i na pepeiaohao nui eha, e ku pono ana i na makani eha o ka lani.
9 [Then] from one of those [large horns] appeared a little horn, which became very big, [and pointed] toward the south and [then] toward the east and [then] toward the beautiful land [of Israel].
Kupu mai la no hoi kekahi pepeiaohao liilii noloko mai o kekahi o lakou, a lilo ia i mea nui loa ma ke kukulu hema, a ma ka hikina, a ma ka aina oluolu.
10 [The man who was represented by] that horn became very strong, with the result that he attacked some of the [soldiers of the] army of heaven, and (OR, meaning) the stars in the sky [which represented God’s people]. He threw some of them to the ground and trampled on them.
A haanui oia ia ia iho i ka Puali o ka lani; a hoohina i kekahi o ka puali, a me na hoku ilalo i ka honua, a hehi iho la maluna o lakou.
11 He (defied/considered himself to be greater than) the leader of the army [of heaven], and prevented [priests from] offering sacrifices to him. He also (defiled the temple/caused the temple to become unholy).
Oia, haanui oia ia ia iho i ka luna o ka poe puali, a hoopau oia i ka mohai o na la, o ka wahi hoano kekahi, ua hooleiia ilalo.
12 Then God’s people allowed the [man who was represented by] that horn to control/rule them, with the result that they sinned by offering sacrifices to him. And he threw to the ground the [laws that contained the] true religion. Everything that he did was successful.
A ua haawiia mai ia ia kekahi poe e ku e i ua mau mohai la no ka hala, a ua hoolei oia i ka mea oiaio ilalo i ka honua; a hana aku la oia, a lanakila.
13 Then I heard two angels who were talking to each other. One of them asked, “How long will the things/events that were in this vision continue? How long will the man who rebels against God and causes [the temple] to be defiled be able to prevent [priests from] offering sacrifices? How long will he trample on the temple and on the armies of heaven?”
Alaila, lohe aku la au i kekahi haipule e olelo ana, a i aku kekahi haipule e i ua haipule la e olelo ana, Pehea ka loihi o ka hihio no ka mohai o na la, a no ka mea ino e hooneoneo ai, no ka haawi ana i kahi hoano a me ka puali, e hehiia malalo iho o ka wawae?
14 The other angel replied, “[It will continue] for 1,150 days. During all of that time, [people will not be permitted to offer sacrifices] in the morning or in the evening. After that, the temple will be purified.”
A i mai la ia ia'u, A hala na la elua tausani ekolu haneri; alaila e hoomaemae ia kahi hoano.
15 While I, Daniel, was trying to understand what the vision meant, suddenly [an angel] who resembled a man stood/appeared in front of me.
Eia kekahi, i ka wa a'u a Daniela nei i ike ai ma ka hihio, a imi au i ke ano, alaila, aia hoi, ku mai la kekahi mea imua o'u, ua like kona ano me ko ke kanaka.
16 And I heard a man call out from [the other side of] the Ulai Canal, saying, “Gabriel, explain to him the meaning of the vision [that he saw]!”
A lohe aku la au i ka leo kanaka ma Ulai e kahea ana, i ae la, E Gaberiela e, e hoakaka ae oe i na mea i ikeia ma ka hihio, i keia kanaka.
17 So Gabriel came and stood beside me. I was very terrified, with the result that I fell onto the ground. But he said to me, “You human, it is necessary for you to understand that [the events that you saw in] the vision will occur [near] the time that [the world] will end.”
Alaila, hookokoke mai oia i kahi a'u i ku ai, a i kona hiki ana mai, makau iho la au, a haule iho ilalo ko'u maka: aka, i mai la oia ia'u, E ike pono oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka; no ka mea, no ka manawa mahope keia hihio.
18 While he was speaking, I fainted. I lay there, unconscious, with my face still on the ground. But Gabriel put his hand on me and lifted me up in order that I could stand again.
A i kana olelo ana mai ia'u, ua moe loa iho la au ilalo ko'u maka i ka honua: aka, hoopa mai oia ia'u, a hoala ae ia'u iluna.
19 Then he said, “I [have come here to] tell you what will happen because of [God] being angry. These things will happen near the time when [the world] will end.
I mai oia ia'u, Aia hoi, e hoakaka au ia oe i ka mea e hiki mai ana ma ka manawa hope o ka huhu ana; no ka mea, no ka wa mahope keia hihio.
20 As for the ram with two horns that you saw, those horns [represent] the kingdoms of Media and Persia.
O ka hipakane au i ike ai nona na pepeiaohao elua, he mau alii laua o Media, a me Peresia.
21 The goat [that you saw represents] the kingdom of Greece, and the horn that appeared between its eyes [represents] its first king.
A o ua kao kane huluhulu la, oia ke alii o Helene; a o ua pepeiaohao nui la mawaenakonu o kona mau maka, oia ke alii mua.
22 As for the four horns that grew after the first horn was broken off, they [represent] four kingdoms into which that first kingdom will be divided [after the first king dies]. Those four kingdoms will not be as strong/powerful as the first kingdom was.
A o ka haihai ana o ia mea, a kupu mai na mea eha e pani i kona hakahaka, pela no e ku mai ai na aupuni eha mai loko mai o keia lahuikanaka, aka, aole nae e like me kona ikaika.
23 The people [in those kingdoms] will become very wicked, with the result that it will be necessary for them to be punished. But near the time when those kingdoms will end, one of those kingdoms will have a king who will be very proud/defiant [IDM]. He will [also] be very fierce and very deceitful.
A i ka hope o ko lakou aupuni, i ka manawa i piha ai ko lakou hewa, e ku mai kekahi alii, he maka hihiu kona, he mea ike i na olelo pohihihi.
24 He will become very powerful, but it will not be because of what he himself does. He will terribly destroy things in many places, and he will succeed in doing everything that he wants to. He will get rid of [many] powerful men, and [also] some of God’s people.
A e nui auanei kona ikaika, aole nae ma kona ikaika iho; a e luku loa aku ia, a lanakila hoi; e hana aku ia, a e pepehi no hoi ia i ka poe ikaika, a me ka poe haipule.
25 Because he is very cunning/clever, he will succeed by doing things that deceive many people. He will be proud of himself. He will destroy many people when they think that they are safe. He will also rebel against [God] [EUP], who is the greatest king. But [God] will destroy him, without the help [MTY] of any human being.
A ma kona maalea hoi, e hoolanakila oia i ka hana maalea a kona lima; e hookiekie oia ia ia iho iloko o kona naau, a i ka wa maluhia, e luku aku ia i na lehulehu; a e ku e no hoi ia i ke Alii o na'lii; aka, e okaoka liilii no ia me ka lima ole.
26 What you saw in the vision about [priests being prevented from making] sacrifices in the morning and in the evening, which [I] explained [to you], will surely happen. But [for the present time], do not reveal the vision [to others], because it will be many years before those things happen.”
A o ka hihio no ke ahiahi a me ke kakahiaka, ka mea i haiia mai, he oiaio no ia; no ia mea, e pani oe i ua hihio la; no ka mea, no na la he nui loa ia.
27 Then I, Daniel, became weak, and I was sick for several days. Then I arose and [returned to] doing the work that the king [had given to me], but I was perplexed/confused about the vision, and I could not understand it.
Owau, o Daniela nei, ua maule iho la au, a ua mai hoi i kekahi mau la. Mahope iho, ku ae la au iluna, a hana ae la i ka hana a ke alii; a kahaha nui iho la ko'u naau i ua hihio la, aka, aohe mea nana i ike.
