< Daniel 4 >

1 Nabugodonosor, the kyng, writith thus to alle puplis and langagis, that dwellen in al erthe, pees be multiplied to you.
Na Nepukaneha, na te kingi ki nga tangata katoa, ki nga iwi, ki nga reo e noho ana i te whenua katoa; kia whakanuia to koutou rangimarie.
2 Hiy God made at me myraclis and merueils;
I mea ahau e pai ana kia whakakitea nga tohu me nga mea whakamiharo i mahia nei e te Atua, e te Runga Rawa ki ahau.
3 therfor it pleside me to preche hise myraclis, for tho ben greet, and hise merueils, for tho ben stronge; and his rewme is an euerlastynge rewme, and his power is in generacioun and in to generacioun.
Ano te nui o ana tohu! ano te nui o ana mea whakamiharo! ko tona kingitanga he kingitanga mau tonu, ko tona kawanatanga kei tera whakatupuranga, kei tera whakatupuranga.
4 I, Nabugodonosor, was restful in myn hous, and flourynge in my paleis;
I te ata noho ahau, a Nepukaneha, i roto i toku whare, koa tonu i roto i toku whare kingi:
5 Y siy a dreem, that made me aferd; and my thouytis in my bed, and the siytis of myn heed disturbliden me.
Ka kite ahau i tetahi moe i wehi ai ahau; raruraru ana ahau i nga whakaaro i runga i toku moenga, i nga mea ano hoki i kitea e toku mahunga.
6 And a decre was set forth bi me, that alle the wise men of Babiloyne schulden be brouyt in bifor my siyt, and that thei schulden schewe to me the soilyng of the dreem.
Na reira i puaki ai taku ture kia kawea mai nga tangata whakaaro nui katoa o Papurona ki toku aroaro, kia whakakitea ai e ratou te tikanga o te moe ki ahau.
7 Than false dyuynours, astronomyens, Caldeis, and biholderis of auteris entriden; and Y telde the dreem in the siyt of hem, and thei schewiden not to me the soilyng therof, til the felowe in office,
Na, ko te haerenga mai o nga tohunga maori, o nga kaititiro whetu, o nga Karari, ratou ko nga tohunga tuaahu, korerotia ana e ahau te moe ki to ratou aroaro: heoi kihai i whakaaturia mai e ratou tona tikanga ki ahau.
8 Danyel, to whom the name was Balthasar, bi the name of my God, entride in my siyt, which Danyel hath the spirit of hooli goddis in hym silf; and Y spak the dreem bifor hym.
Nawai a kua tae mai ki toku aroaro a Raniera, ko tona ingoa nei ko Peretehatara, ko te ingoa o toku atua, he tangata kei a ia nei te wairua o nga atua tapu; a korerotia ana e ahau te moe ki tona aroaro; i mea ahau,
9 Balthasar, prince of dyuynouris, whom Y knowe, that thou hast in thee the spirit of hooli goddis, and ech sacrament, ether preuytee, is not vnpossible to thee, telle thou to me the visiouns of my dreemes, whiche Y siy, and the soilyng of tho.
E Peretehatara, e te rangatira o nga tohunga maori, e mohio ana hoki ahau kei a koe te wairua o nga atua tapu, e kore koe e he ki tetahi mea ngaro, whakaaturia mai ki ahau nga mea i puta mai, te moemoea i kitea e ahau, me te tikanga o aua mea.
10 This is the visioun of myn heed in my bed. Y siy, and lo! a tree was in the myddis of erthe, and the hiynesse therof was ful greet.
Ko nga mea enei i kitea e toku mahunga i runga i toku moenga; titiro rawa atu ahau, na ko tetahi rakau i waenganui o te whenua, nui atu tona tiketike.
11 And the tree was greet and strong, and the heiythe therof touchide heuene, and the biholdynge therof was `til to the endis of al erthe.
Kua tupu taua rakau, kua kaha, roa tonu, tutuki tonu ki te rangi, he mea hoki i kitea mai i nga pito o te whenua katoa.
12 The leeuys therof weren ful faire, and the fruyt therof was ful myche, and the mete of alle was in it; beestis and wielde beestis dwelliden vndur it, and briddis of the eir lyuyden in the braunchis therof, and ech man ete of it.
Ataahua tonu nga rau, he maha nga hua, a i runga i a ia he kai ma te katoa: i whai taumarumarunga iho nga kirehe o te parae i raro i a ia, i noho ano nga manu o te rangi i runga i ona manga, i reira hoki nga kikokiko katoa e kai ana.
13 Thus Y siy in the visioun of myn heed, on my bed. And lo! a wakere, and hooli man cam doun fro heuene,
I kite ahau i roto i nga mea i kitea e toku mahunga i runga i toku moenga, na he tutei, he mea tapu, e heke iho ana i te rangi;
14 and he criede strongli, and seide thus, Hewe ye doun the tree, and kitte ye doun the bowis therof, and schake ye awei the leeuys therof, and scatere ye abrood the fruytis therof; beestis fle awei, that be vndur it, and briddis fro the bowis therof.
Nui atu tana karanga; i mea ia, Tuaina te rakau, poutoutoa ona manga, whakahoroa ona rau, titaria ona hua; kia haere atu nga kararehe i raro i a ia, me nga manu i ona manga:
15 Netheles suffre ye the seed of rootis therof in erthe, and be he boondun with a boond of irun and of bras, in erbis that ben with out forth, and in the deew of heuene be he died, and his part be with wielde beestis in the erbe of erthe.
Me waiho ano ia te take o ona pakiaka i te whenua, here rawa ki te rino, ki te parahi, i roto i te taru hou o te parae; kia maku ano i te tomairangi o te rangi; na, ko te wahi mona kei to nga kararehe, kei te tarutaru o te whenua:
16 His herte be chaungid fro mannus herte, and the herte of a wielde beeste be youun to hym, and seuene tymes be chaungid on hym.
Kia puta ke tona ngakau tangata, kia hoatu he ngakau kararehe ki a ia, kia whitu hoki ona wa e taka.
17 In the sentence of wakeris it is demed, and it is the word and axyng of seyntis, til lyuynge men knowe, that hiy God is Lord in the rewme of men; and he schal yyue it to whom euere he wole, and he schal ordeyne on it the mekeste man.
Ko tenei mea he mea whakatakoto na nga tutei; he mea ki mai ano na te kupu a nga mea tapu: kia mohio ai te hunga ora kei te kawana te Runga Rawa ki te kingitanga o nga tangata, a e hoatu ana e ia ki tana e pai ai, e meinga ana hoki e ia nga ware rawa o nga tangata hei rangatira mo reira.
18 Y, Nabugodonosor, the kyng, siy this dreem. Therfor thou, Balthasar, telle hastili the interpretyng, for alle the wise men of my rewme moun not seie to me the soilyng; but thou maist, for the spirit of hooli goddis is in thee.
Ko tenei moe, he mea kite naku, na Kingi Nepukaneha. Na mau, e Peretehatara, e whakaatu mai tona tikanga, kahore nei hoki i taea e nga tangata whakaaro nui katoa o toku kingitanga te whakaatu te tikanga ki ahau; e taea ia e koe, kei roto na hoki i a koe te wairua o nga atua tapu.
19 Thanne Danyel, to whom the name was Balthasar, began to thenke priueli with ynne hym silf, as in oon our, and hise thouytis disturbliden hym. Forsothe the kyng answeride, and seide, Balthasar, the dreem and the interpretyng therof disturble not thee. Balthasar answeride, and seide, My lord, the dreem be to hem that haten thee, and the interpretyng therof be to thin enemyes.
Katahi a Raniera, ko tona ingoa nei ko Peretehatara, ka ketekete, he wa poto ano, a raruraru ana ia i ona whakaaro. Ka whakahoki te kingi, ka mea, Kei raruraru koe, e Peretehatara, i te moe, i tona tikanga ranei. Ka whakahoki a Peretehatara, ka mea, E toku ariki, waiho tenei moe mo te hunga e kino ana ki a koe, me tona tikanga ano mo ou hoariri.
20 The tree which thou siyest hiy and strong, whos heiythe stretchith `til to heuene, and the biholdyng therof in to ech lond,
Ko te rakau i kite na koe, ko tera i tupu ra, a kua kaha, ko tona tiketike nei i tutuki atu ki te rangi, a i kitea hoki e te whenua katoa;
21 and the faireste braunchis therof, and the fruyt therof ful myche, and the mete of alle in it, and beestis of the feeld dwellynge vndur it, and the briddis of the eir dwellynge in the boowis therof,
Ko ona rau he ataahua, he maha ona hua, a he kai i runga ma te katoa; a i noho nga kararehe o te parae i raro i a ia, he nohoanga hoki a runga i ona manga no nga manu o te rangi:
22 thou art, kyng, that art magnefied, and wexidist strong, and thi greetnesse encreesside, and cam `til to heuene, and thi power in to the endis of al erthe.
Ko koe, e te kingi, kua tupu na, kua kaha na: kua tupu na hoki tou nui, kua tutuki atu ki te rangi, me tou kingitanga ki te pito o te whenua.
23 Sotheli that the kyng siy a wakere and hooli come doun fro heuene, and seie, Hewe ye doun the tree, and distrie ye it, netheles leeue ye the seed of rootis therof in erthe, and be he boundun with irun and bras, in erbis with out forth, and be he bispreynt with the deew of heuene, and his mete be with wielde beestis, til seuene tymes be chaungid on hym;
Na, i kite na te kingi i te tutei, i te mea tapu hoki e heke iho ana i te rangi, e mea ana, Tuaina te rakau, whakangaromia; me waiho ano ia te take o ona pakiaka ki te whenua, here rawa ki te rino, ki te parahi, i te taru hou o te parae; kia mak u ano i te tomairangi o te rangi; a ko te wahi mona, hei to nga kararehe o te parae, kia taka ra ano ona wa e whitu;
24 this is the interpretyng of the sentence of the hiyeste, which sentence is comun on my lord, the kyng.
Ko te tikanga tenei, E te kingi, ko te ture ano tenei a te Runga Rawa ka tae iho nei ki runga ki toku ariki, ki te kingi:
25 Thei schulen caste thee out fro men, and thi dwellyng schal be with beestys and wielde beestis, and thou schalt ete hey, as an oxe doith, but also thou schalt be bisched with the dew of heuene, also seuene tymes schulen be chaungid on thee, til thou knowe, that hiy God is Lord `on the rewme of men, and yyueth it to whom euer he wole.
Ara kia aia atu koe i roto i nga tangata, ki nga kararehe o te parae he nohoanga mou, kia meinga ano koe kia kai tarutaru, kia pera me nga kau, kia maku ano i te tomairangi o te rangi, a e whitu nga wa ou ka taka; kia mohio ra ano koe kei te kaw ana te Runga Rawa ki te kingitanga o nga tangata, a e hoatu ana e ia ki tana e pai ai.
26 Forsothe that he comaundide, that the seed of rootis therof, that is, of the tree, schulde be left, thi rewme schal dwelle to thee, aftir that thou knowist that the power is of heuene.
Na, ko te kainga mai ra kia waiho te take o nga pakiaka o te rakau: ka pumau ki a koe tou kingitanga, ina mohio koe ko nga rangi hei kawana.
27 Wherfor, kyng, my counsel plese thee, and ayenbie thi synnes with almesdedis, and ayenbie thi wickidnessis with mercies of pore men; in hap God schal foryyue thi trespassis.
Mo reira kia manakohia mai toku whakaaro e koe, e te kingi, kia whatiia atu ano ou hara e te tika, kia whatiia ano ou kino e te mahi tohu ki nga rawakore; a tera pea e roa tou ata noho.
28 Alle these thingis camen on Nabugodonosor, the kyng.
I pa katoa mai tenei ki a Kingi Nepukaneha.
29 After the ende of twelue monethis he walkide in the halle of Babiloyne;
I te mutunga o nga marama kotahi tekau ma rua e haereere ana ia i te whare kingi o Papurona.
30 and the kyng answeride, and seide, Whether this is not Babiloyne, the greet citee, which Y bildide in to the hous of rewme, in the miyt of my strengthe, and in the glorie of my fairnesse?
Ka korero te kingi, ka mea, He teka ianei ko Papurona nui tenei i hanga nei e ahau hei whare mo te kingitanga; he nui no toku kaha, hei whakahonore ano mo toku kororia?
31 Whanne the word was yit in the mouth of the kyng, a vois felle doun fro heuene, Nabugodonosor, kyng, it is seid to thee, Thi rewme is passid fro thee,
I te kupu ano i te mangai o te kingi ka pa he reo no te rangi, E Kingi Nepukaneha, he kupu tenei ki a koe: ka riro tou kingitanga.
32 and thei schulen caste thee out fro men, and thi dwellyng schal be with beestis and wielde beestis; thou schalt ete hey, as an oxe doith, and seuene tymes schulen be chaungid on thee, til thou knowe, that hiy God is Lord in the rewme of men, and yyueth it to whom euere he wole.
Ka aia atu ano koe i roto i nga tangata, a ko te kainga mou kei nga kararehe o te parae: ka meinga koe kia kai tarutaru, kia pera me nga kau, a e whitu nga wa ou ka taka; kia mohio ra ano koe kei te kawana te Runga Rawa ki te kingitanga o nga ta ngata, a e hoatu ana e ia ki tana e pai ai.
33 In the same our the word was fillid on Nabugodonosor, and he was cast out fro men, and he eet hey, as an oxe doith, and his bodi was colouryd with the deew of heuene, til hise heeris wexiden at the licnesse of eglis, and hise nailis as the nailis of briddis.
I taua haora ano ka rite taua mea ki a Nepukaneha: na ka aia atu ia i roto i nga tangata, a kai tarutaru ana ia, pera ana me nga kau, i maku ano tona tinana i te tomairangi o te rangi, tupu noa iho ona huruhuru, kei nga huruhuru ekara te rite, o na matikuku rite tonu ki o te manu.
34 Therfor after the ende of daies, Y, Nabugodonosor, reiside myn iyen to heuene, and my wit was yoldun to me; and Y blesside the hiyeste, and Y heriede, and glorifiede hym that lyueth with outen ende; for whi his power is euerlastynge power, and his rewme is in generacioun and in to generacioun.
Na i te mutunga o nga ra ka anga ake nga kanohi oku, o Nepukaneha, ki te rangi, a hoki mai ana toku ngakau mahara ki ahau, a whakapaingia ana e ahau te Runga Rawa, whakamoemiti atu ana ahau, whakahonore ana i a ia, e ora tonu ana hoki ia, he ran gatiratanga mau tonu tona rangatiratanga, ko tona kingitanga ano kei tera whakatupuranga, kei tera whakatupuranga.
35 And alle the dwelleris of erthe ben arettid in to noyt at hym; for bi his wille he doith, bothe in the vertues of heuene, and in the dwelleris of erthe, and noon is, that ayenstondith his hond, and seith to hym, Whi didist thou so?
Ki ta te whakaaro he kahore noa iho nga tangata katoa o te whenua: a e mahia ana e ia tana e pai ai i roto i te ope o te rangi, i waenga ano o nga tangata o te whenua; e kore ano tona ringa e taea te pupuri e tetahi, kahore hoki he kianga ki a i a, E aha ana koe?
36 In that tyme my wit turnede ayen to me, and Y cam fulli to the onour and fairnesse of my rewme, and my figure turnede ayen to me; and my beste men and my magistratis souyten me, and Y was set in my rewme, and my greet doyng was encreessid grettir to me.
I taua wa ano ka hoki mai oku mahara ki ahau; i hoki mai ano toku honore me toku ahua rangatira ki ahau, hei whakakororia mo toku kingitanga; i rapua mai ano ahau e aku kaiwhakatakoto whakaaro, e aku ariki; na ka u ahau ki toku kingitanga, a nui atu te kororia i whakanekehia ake moku.
37 Now therfor Y Nabugodonosor herie, and magnefie, and glorifie the kyng of heuene; for alle hise werkis ben trewe, and alle his weies ben domes; and he may make meke hem that goon in pride.
Na, tenei ahau, a Nepukaneha, te whakamoemiti, te whakanui, te whakahonore nei i te Kingi o te rangi; he pono hoki ana mahi katoa, ko ona ara he whakarite whakawa: ko te hunga ano e haere ana i runga i te whakapehapeha, ka taea e ia te whakaiti.
