< Daniel 5 >

1 Balthasar, the kyng, made a greet feeste to hise beste men a thousynde, and ech man drank aftir his age.
Naʻe ngaohi ʻe Pelesasa ko e tuʻi ha kātoanga kai ki hono ngaahi houʻeiki ʻe toko taha afe, pea ne inu uaine ʻi he ʻao ʻoe toko taha afe.
2 Forsothe the kyng thanne drunkun comaundide, that the goldun and siluerne vessels schulden be brouyt forth, whiche Nabugodonosor, his fadir, hadde borun out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, that the kyng, and hise beste men, hise wyues, and councubyns schulden drynke in tho vessels.
‌ʻI heʻene kei inu ʻae uaine naʻe fekau ʻe Pelesasa ke ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ipu koula, mo e ngaahi ipu siliva, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻe heʻene tamai ko Nepukanesa mei he falelotu lahi ʻaia naʻe ʻi Selūsalema; koeʻuhi ke inu mei ai ʻe he tuʻi mo e houʻeiki, mo hono ngaahi uaifi, mo hono kau sinifu.
3 Thanne the goldun vessels and siluerne, whiche he hadde borun out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, weren brouyt forth; and the kyng, and hise beste men, and hise wyues, and concubyns, drunken in tho vessels.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ipu koula, ʻaia naʻe ʻave mei he potu tapu ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻi Selūsalema; pea naʻe inu mei ai ʻae tuʻi mo e houʻeiki, mo hono ngaahi uaifi, pea mo hono kau sinifu.
4 Thei drunken wyn, and herieden her goddis of gold, and of siluer, of bras, and of irun, and of tree, and of stoon.
Naʻa nau inu uaine, mo fakamālō ki he ngaahi ʻotua koula, pea mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea, mo e ʻakau, pea mo e maka.
5 In the same our fyngris apperiden, as of the hond of a man, writynge ayens the candilstike, in the pleyn part of the wal of the kyngis halle; and the kyng bihelde the fyngris of the hond writynge.
‌ʻI he feituʻu pō ko ia naʻe hā mai ʻae louhiʻi nima ʻoe tangata, ʻoku tohi ʻi he funga ʻoe holisi fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo feʻunga mo e tuʻunga maama; pea naʻe mamata ʻae tuʻi ki he louhiʻi nima naʻe tohi.
6 Thanne the face of the kyng was chaungid, and hise thouytis disturbliden hym; and the ioyncturis of hise reynes weren loosid, and hise knees weren hurtlid to hem silf togidere.
Pea naʻe fakakehe ʻae fofonga ʻoe tuʻi, pea ko ʻene ngaahi mahalo naʻe puputuʻu ai ia; ko ia naʻe homo ai ʻae ngaahi hokotanga ʻo hono kongaloto, pea naʻe fetaposi ʻa hono ongo tui,
7 Therfor the kyng criede strongli, that thei schulden brynge yn astronomyens, Caldeis, and dyuynouris bi lokyng of auteris. And the kyng spak, and seide to the wise men of Babiloyne, Who euer redith this scripture, and makith opyn the interpretyng therof to me, schal be clothid in purpur; and he schal haue a goldun bie in the necke, and he schal be the thridde in my rewme.
Pea naʻe kalanga ʻae tuʻi ke ʻomi ʻae kau ʻasitolōnoma, mo e kau Kalitia, pea mo e kau kikite. Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi, ʻo ne pehē ki he kau tangata poto ʻo Papilone, “ʻIlonga ha taha ʻe lau ʻae tohi ni mo fakahā kiate au hono ʻuhinga, ʻe fakakofuʻaki ia ʻae kulokula, pea ʻe ʻai ʻae kahoa koula ki hono kia, pea te ne hoko ko hono toko tolu ʻi he kau pule ʻoe puleʻanga.”
8 Thanne alle the wise men of the kyng entriden, and miyten not rede the scripture, nether schewe to the kyng the interpretyng therof.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻae tuʻi: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa lau ʻae tohi pe fakahā ki he tuʻi hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia.
9 Wherof kyng Balthasar was disturblid ynow, and his cheer was chaungid, but also hise beste men weren disturblid.
Pea naʻe puputuʻu lahi ʻaupito ʻae tuʻi ko Pelesasa, pea naʻe kehe ʻa hono fofonga ʻiate ia, pea naʻe ofo lahi ʻa hono ngaahi houʻeiki.
10 Forsothe the queen entride in to the hous of feeste, for the thing that hadde bifeld to the king, and beste men; and sche spak, and seide, Kyng, lyue thou withouten ende. Thi thouytis disturble not thee, and thi face be not chaungid.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻae tuʻi mo hono ngaahi houʻeiki, naʻe hū ai ʻae tuʻi fefine ki he fale kai: pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi fefine ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE tuʻi ke ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata: ʻoua naʻa ke mamahi ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakakaukau, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fofonga kehe:
11 A man is in thi rewme, that hath the spirit of hooli goddis in hym silf, and in the daies of thi fadir kunnyng and wisdom weren foundun in hym; for whi and Nabugodonosor, thi fadir, made him prince of astronomyens, of enchaunteris, of Caldeis, and of dyuynouris bi lokyng on auteris; sotheli thi fadir, thou kyng, dide this;
‌ʻOku ai ʻae tangata ʻi ho puleʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ʻatamai ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo tamai, naʻe ʻilo ʻiate ia ʻae maama, mo e ʻilo, mo e poto, ʻo hangē ko e poto ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua; ʻaia naʻe fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa ko hoʻo tamai, ʻoku ou pehē, ʻae tuʻi ko hoʻo tamai, ko e pule ʻoe kau fai meʻa mana mo e kau ʻasitolōnoma, mo e kau Kalitia mo e kau kikite:
12 for more spirit, and more prudent, and vndurstondyng, and interpretyng of dremes, and schewyng of priuytees, and assoilyng of boundun thingis weren foundun in hym, that is, in Danyel, to whom the kyng puttide the name Balthasar. Now therfor Daniel be clepid, and he schal telle the interpretyng. Therfor Daniel was brouyt in bifor the kyng. To whom the forseid kyng seide,
Pea koeʻuhi naʻe ʻiate ia ha ʻatamai lelei, mo e ʻilo mo e poto, ʻi he fakahā ʻoe ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi misi, mo e ngaahi lea ʻilongataʻa, mo e fakatonutonu meʻa, naʻe ʻilo ʻi he Taniela ko ia, ʻaia naʻe fakahingoa ʻe he tuʻi ko Pelitisasa: pea ko eni, ui kia Taniela, pea ʻe fakahā ʻe ia hono ʻuhinga.”
13 Art thou Danyel, of the sones of caitifte of Juda, whom my fader, the kyng, brouyte fro Judee?
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻa Taniela ki loto ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi. Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi kia Taniela ʻo pehē, “Ko koe, ko e Taniela ko ia ʻoku ʻoe fānau ʻoe pōpula ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻeku tamai mei Siutea?
14 Y haue herd of thee, that thou hast in thee the spirit of goddis, and more kunnyng, and vndurstondyng, and wisdom be foundun in thee.
Kuo u fanongo kiate koe, ʻo pehē ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae ʻatamai ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua, pea ʻoku ʻilo ʻiate koe ʻae maama, mo e ʻilo, pea mo e poto lelei.
15 And now wise men, astronomyens, entriden in my siyt, to rede this scripture, and to schewe to me the interpretyng therof; and thei myyten not seie to me the vndurstondyng of this word.
Pea ko eni, kuo ʻomi ki hoku ʻao ʻae kau tangata poto mo e kau ʻasitolōnoma, koeʻuhi ke nau lau ʻae tohi ni, pea fakahā mai kiate au ʻa hono ʻuhinga: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mafai ke fakahā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe meʻa
16 Certis Y haue herde of thee, that thou maist interprete derk thingis, and vnbynde boundun thingis; therfor if thou maist rede the scripture, and schewe to me the interpretyng therof, thou schalt be clothid in purpur, and thou schalt haue a goldun bie aboute thi necke, and thou schalt be the thridde prince in my rewme.
Pea kuo u fanongo kiate koe, ʻo pehē, ʻoku ke faʻa fakatupu ʻuhinga mo fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻilongataʻa: pea ko eni, kapau te ke lau ʻae tohi, mo e fakakofuʻaki koe ʻae kulokula, pea ʻe ʻai ʻae kahoa koula ki ho kia, pea te ke hoko ko hono toko tolu ʻi he kau pule ʻoe puleʻanga.”
17 To whiche thingis Danyel answeride, and seide bifore the kyng, Thi yiftis be to thee, and yyue thou to another man the yiftis of thin hous; forsothe, kyng, Y schal rede the scripture to thee, and Y schal schewe to thee the interpretyng therof.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Taniela ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ne pehēange, “Ke ʻiate koe hoʻo ngaahi meʻa foaki, pea tuku ʻa hoʻo ngaahi totongi ki ha taha kehe; ka te u lau ʻae tohi ki he tuʻi, pea te u fakahā kiate ia ʻa hono ʻuhinga.
18 O! thou kyng, hiyeste God yaf rewme, and greet worschipe, and glorie, and onour, to Nabugodonosor, thi fadir.
“Ko koe, ʻe tuʻi, naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, kia Nepukanesa ko hoʻo tamai, ha puleʻanga mo e mālohi, mo e nāunau, mo e fakaʻapaʻapa;
19 And for greet worschip which he hadde youe to thilke Nabugodonosor, alle puplis, lynagis, and langagis, trembliden and dredden hym; he killide whiche he wolde, and he smoot whiche he wolde, and he enhaunside whiche he wolde, and he made low which he wolde.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he mālohi naʻa ne tuku kiate ia, naʻe tetetete mo manavahē kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi kakai, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e ngaahi lea kotoa pē: ko ia naʻa ne loto ki ai naʻa ne tāmateʻi; pea ko ia naʻa ne loto ki ai naʻa ne fakamoʻui; pea ko ia naʻa ne loto ki ai naʻa ne hakeakiʻi; pea ko ia naʻa ne loto ki ai naʻa ne fakahifo.
20 Forsothe whanne his herte was reisid, and his spirit was maad obstynat in pride, he was put doun of the seete of his rewme;
Ka ʻi he angahiki ʻa hono loto, mo e fakafefeka ʻa hono loto ʻi he laukau, naʻe fakahifo ia mei hono nofoʻanga fakatuʻi, pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻa hono nāunau meiate ia;
21 and his glorie was takun awei, and he was cast out fro the sones of men; but also his herte was set with beestis, and his dwellyng was with wielde assis; also he eet hei as an oxe doith, and his bodi was colourid with the deew of heuene, til he knewe, that the hiyeste hath power in the rewme of men, and he schal reise on it whom euer he wole.
Pea naʻe kapusi ia mei he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata; pea naʻe ngaohi hono loto ke hangē ko e loto ʻoe fanga manu, pea naʻa ne nofoʻanga fakataha mo e fanga ʻasi kai vao: naʻa nau fafanga ia ʻaki ʻae mohuku ʻo hangē ko e fanga pulu, pea naʻe viviku hono sino ʻi he hahau ʻoe langi; kaeʻoua ke ne ʻilo ʻe ia, naʻe pule ʻae ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe tangata, pea ʻoku ne tuʻutuʻuni ki ai ʻaia ʻoku ne faʻiteliha ki ai.
22 And thou, Balthasar, the sone of hym, mekidest not thin herte, whanne thou knewist alle these thingis;
“Ka ko koe ko hono foha ʻe Pelesasa, naʻe ʻikai te ke fakavaivaiʻi ho loto, ka naʻa ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pe.
23 but thou were reisid ayens the Lord of heuene, and the vessels of his hous weren brouyt bifore thee, and thou, and thi beste men, and thi wyues, and thi concubyns, drunken wyn in tho vessels; and thou heriedist goddis of siluer, and of gold, and of bras, and of irun, and of tree, and of stoon, that seen not, nether heren, nether feelen; certis thou glorifiedist not God, that hath thi blast, and alle thi weies in his hond.
Ka kuo ke fakahikihiki koe ki he ʻEiki ʻoe langi, pea kuo nau omi ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻo hono fale ki ho ʻao, pea ko koe mo hoʻo ngaahi houʻeiki, mo hoʻo ngaahi uaifi, mo hoʻo kau fefine, kuo mou inu kava mei ai; pea kuo ke fakamālō ki he ngaahi ʻotua siliva, mo e koula, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea, mo e ʻakau, mo e maka, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ke mamata, pe fanongo, pe ʻilo: pea ko e ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hono nima ʻa hoʻo mānava, pea ʻoku ʻoʻona ho ngaahi hala kotoa pē, naʻe ʻikai te ke fakamālōʻi.
24 Therfor the fyngur of the hond was sent of hym, which hond wroot this thing that is writun.
Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻae louhiʻi nima meiate ia; pea ko eni ʻae tohi naʻe tohi.
25 Sotheli this is the scripture which is discryued, Mane, Techel, Phares.
“Pea ko eni ʻae tohi ʻaia naʻe tohi, ‘MINE, MINE, TEKELI, UFASINI:’
26 And this is the interpretyng of the word. Mane, God hath noumbrid thi rewme, and hath fillid it;
Pea ko hono ʻuhinga eni ʻoe lea: MINE; Kuo lau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ho puleʻanga, pea kuo fakaʻosi ia.
27 Techel, thou art weied in a balaunce, and thou art foundun hauynge lesse;
TIKELI; Kuo fakamamafa koe ʻi he meʻa fua tautau, pea kuo ʻilo koe ʻoku ke maʻamaʻa.
28 Phares, thi rewme is departid, and is youun to Medeis and Perseis.
PELESI; kuo vahevahe ʻa ho puleʻanga, pea kuo tuku ki he kau Mitia mo e kau Peasia.”
29 Thanne, for the kyng comaundide, Daniel was clothid in purpur, and a goldun bie was youun aboute in his necke; and it was prechid of hym, that he hadde power, and was the thridde in the rewme.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Pelesasa, ke nau fakakofu ʻa Taniela ʻaki ʻae kulokula, pea naʻe ʻai ʻae kahoa koula ki hono kia, pea naʻe fanongonongo ia, ke ne hoko ko hono toko tolu ia ʻi he pule ʻoe puleʻanga.
30 In the same niyt Balthasar, the kyng of Caldeis, was slayn;
‌ʻI he pō ko ia naʻe mate tāmateʻi ʻa Pelesasa, ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau Kalitia.
31 and Daryus of Medei was successour in to the rewme, and he was two and sixti yeer eld.
Pea naʻe faʻao ʻae puleʻanga ʻe Talaiasi ko e Mitia, ʻi hono onongofulu ma ua taʻu nai ʻo ʻene motuʻa.
