< Daniela 10 >
1 I KE kolu o ka makahiki o Kuro, ke alii o Peresia, ua hoikeia mai kekahi mea ia Daniela, ka mea i kapaia o Beletesaza; he oiaio keia mea, a na pili i na mea kaumaha nui; ua ike oia i ua mea la, a ua akaka ia ia ke ano o ka hihio.
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict. And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision.
2 Ia mau la no, owau o Daniela, kanikau iho la au i ekolu hebedoma.
In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three full weeks.
3 Aole au i ai i ka berena maikai, aole hoi i hookomoia ka io, a me ka waina iloko o kuu waha, aole loa au i hamo ia'u iho, a pau ua mau hebedoma la ekolu.
I ate no rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the three weeks were completed.
4 A i ka la iwakaluakumamaha, o ka malama mua, i ko'u noho ana ma ke kapa o ka muliwai nui, o Hidekela;
On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris,
5 Alaila, leha ae la ko'u mau maka, nana aku ia au, aia hoi, he kanaka ua aahuia i ke kapa olona, a o kona puhaka ua kakooia i ke gula maikai o Upaza:
I lifted up my eyes, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist.
6 O kona kino ua like ia me ka topaza, a o kona helehelena maka ua like ia me ka uila, o kona mau maka ua like ia me na kukuiahi, o kona mau lima a me na wawae ua like me ke keleawe melemele i anaiia, a o ka leo o kana olelo ana ua like ia me ka leo o ka lehulehu.
His body was like beryl, his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of polished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.
7 A owau wale no, o Daniela, ka i ike i kela mea i hoikeia; o na kanaka pu me au, aole lakou i ike ia mea; aka, ua haule iho maluna o lakou ka eehia nui, a holo kiki aku lakou a pee aku la.
Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but a great terror fell upon them, and they ran and hid themselves.
8 Nolaila, owau wale no ka i koe iho, a ua ike no au ia hihio nui, aole nae he ikaika i koe iloko o'u; no ka mea, ua lilo ko'u helehelena me he keokeo make la, aole ikaika i koe iloko o'u.
So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision. No strength remained in me; my face grew deathly pale, and I was powerless.
9 Ua lohe no nae au i ka leo o kana olelo; a i kuu lohe ana i ka leo o kana olelo, alaila hiamoe loa iho la au ma ko'u maka, a ilalo ko'u maka i ka honua.
I heard the sound of his words, and as I listened, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground.
10 Aia hoi, hoopaa mai la kekahi lima ia'u, a hoala mai la ia'u ma ko'u mau kuli, a me na poho lima o'u.
Suddenly, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.
11 I mai la ia ia'u, E Daniela, ke kanaka i aloha nui ia, e hoomaopopo mai oe i na olelo a'u e olelo aku nei ia oe, a e ku iluna; no ka mea, ia oe no ka'u i hoounaia mai ai. A i kana olelo ana mai ia'u i keia olelo, ku ae la au iluna me ka haalulu.
He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man who is highly precious. Consider carefully the words that I am about to say to you. Stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he had said this to me, I stood up trembling.
12 Alaila, olelo mai la oia ia'u, Mai makau oe, e Daniela, no ka mea, mai ka la mua mai au i hoomakaukau ai i kou naau e hoomaopopo aku, a e hoohaabaa ia oe iho imua. o kou Akua, ua loheia kau mau olelo, a no kau mau olelo, ua hiki mai nei au.
“Do not be afraid, Daniel,” he said, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
13 Aka, o ke alii o ke aupuni o Peresia, ua ku e mai ia'u he iwakalua na la a me kumamakahi. Aka hoi, ua hele mai o Mikaela, kekahi o na'lii nui e kokua mai ia'u, a ua noho au malaila me na'lii o Peresia.
However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
14 Ano, ua hele mai nei au e hoakaka i ike oe i na mea e hiki mai ana i kou poe kanaka i na la mahope; no ka mea, ua nui na la i koe o ua hihio la.
Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision concerns those days.”
15 A i kana olelo ana mai ia'u i keia mau olelo, haka pono iho la au i ka honua, a paa iho la kuu leo.
While he was speaking these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and became speechless.
16 Aia hoi kekahi ua like me ke ano o ke kanaka, hoopa mai la ia i ko'u lehelehe; alaila oaka ao la ko'u waha, a olelo aku la au i ka mea e ku ana imua o'u, i aku, E kuu Haku, no ua hihio la ua hoi hou ko'u weliweli maluna o'u, aole loa o'u ikaika i koe.
And suddenly one with the likeness of a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and said to the one standing before me, “My lord, because of the vision, I am overcome with anguish, and I have no strength.
17 Pehea la e hiki ai i ke kauwa a kuu Haku nei ke kamailio pu me kuu Haku? No ka mea, owau, ua emo ole, aole ikaika i koe iloko o'u, aole hoi he hanu iloko o'u.
How can I, your servant, speak with you, my lord? Now I have no strength, nor is any breath left in me.”
18 Alaila, hele hou mai kekahi e like me ke kanaka kona ano, a hoopa mai ia'u, a hooikaika mai ia'u,
Again the one with the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.
19 I mai la ia, e ke kanaka i aloha nui ia, mai makau oe; he maluhia kou; e ikaika oe, oia e ikaika oe. A i kana olelo ana mai ia'u, ua ikaika ae la au, i aku la au, E olelo mai, e kuu Haku, no ka mea, ua hooikaika mai oe ia'u.
“Do not be afraid, you who are highly precious,” he said. “Peace be with you! Be strong now; be very strong!” As he spoke with me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”
20 Alaila, olelo mai la oia, Ua ike anei oe i ka'u mea i hele mai ai ia oe? Ano e hoi ana au e kana aku i ke alii o Peresia; a i ko'u puka ana aku iwaho, aia hoi, e hiki mai no ke alii o Helene.
“Do you know why I have come to you?” he said. “I must return at once to fight against the prince of Persia, and when I have gone forth, behold, the prince of Greece will come.
21 Aka, e hoike aku au ia oe i na mea i kakauia ma ka palapala oiaio; aohe mea e kokua mai ia'u ma keia mau mea, o Mikaela wale no o kou alii.
But first I will tell you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth. Yet no one has the courage to support me against these, except Michael your prince.
