Daniela 2
1 I KA makahiki elua o ke au ia Nebukaneza, ua moe uhane o Nebukaneza, a anoninoni iho la kona uhane, hiaa loa iho la kona hiamoe.
In the second year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign the king had dreams that upset him so much that he found it difficult to sleep.
2 Alaila, kauoha aku la ke alii e kii aku i na magoi, a me ka poe kilo, a me ka poe hoopiopio, a me ka poe Kaledea, i hoakaka mai lakou i ke alii i kana moe. A hele mai lakou a ku iho la imua o ke alii.
So the king summoned the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers to tell him what he had dreamed. They came in and stood before him.
3 I aku la ke alii ia lakou, Ua moe uhane au i ka moe, a pihoihoi iho la kuu uhane e ike i ua moe la.
“I've had a dream that has really upset me,” he told them. “I need to know what it means.”
4 Ekemu mai la ka poe Kaledea i ke alii ma ka olelo Suria, E ola mau loa ke alii: E hai mai oe i kau poe kauwa i ua moe la, a na makou ia e hoakaka aku.
The astrologers answered the king in Aramaic, “May Your Majesty the king live forever! Tell us your dream and we your servants will interpret it for you.”
5 Olelo aku la ke alii i ka poe Kaledea, i aku la, Ua paa kuu olelo, ina aole oukou e hai mai i ka moe a me kona ano, e okioki liilii ia oukou, a o ko oukou mau hale e liloia i hooleina moka.
“I can't recall it,” the king told the astrologers. “If you can't reveal the dream to me, and its meaning, you will be cut into pieces and your houses will be totally destroyed!
6 Aka, e hai mai oukou ia'u i ka moe a me kona hoike, alaila e loaa ia oukou ka makana, a me ka uku, a me ka hanohano nui no'u aku; no ia mea, e hai mai i ka moe, a me kona hoike.
But if you can tell me the dream and its meaning you will receive from me gifts, rewards, and great honor. So tell me the dream and what it means!”
7 Ekemu hou mai la lakou, i mai, E hai mai ke alii i kana poe kauwa i ka moe, a na makou ia e hoakaka aku.
Again they said the same thing: “If Your Majesty the king would tell us his servants the dream, we will explain what it means.”
8 Olelo aku ke alii, i aku la, Ua ike au, he oiaio no, ke makemake nei oukou, e hooloihi i ka manawa, no ka mea, ua ike oukou ua paa kuu olelo.
“It's obvious to me that you're just trying to buy time!” said the king. “You can see that I can't remember the dream.
9 Aka, ke hoakaka ole mai oukou ia'u i ka moe, hookahi mea paa no oukou; no ka mea, ua hoomakaukau oukou i na olelo wahahee a me ka lapuwale e hai mai imua o'u, a ano hou ae la ka manawa; no ia mea, e hai mai ia'u i ka moe, alaila ua moakaka ia'u, e hiki ia oukou ke hoomaopopo mai i ke ano.
If you can't reveal the dream to me, you will all receive the same punishment! You have conspired against me, telling me lies, hoping things will change. So tell me what my dream was and then I'll know that you can explain what it means.”
10 Alaila, ekemu hou mai ka poe Kaledea imua o ke alii, i mai la, Aohe kanaka ma ka honua e hiki ia ia ke hoakaka i ka ke alii mea; aole alii, aole haku, aole luna, i koi aku i ke kilo, a me ka magoi, a me ke Kaledea i na mea e like me keia.
The astrologers answered the king, “No one on earth could tell the king what he dreamed! Never before has a king, however great and powerful, demanded this of any magician, enchanter, or astrologer!
11 A he mea pohihihi keia mea a ke alii i koi mai nei: aole loa he mea e hiki ke hoakaka ia mea imua o ke alii, aka, o na akua wale no, na mea i noho pu olo me kanaka.
What Your Majesty is asking is impossible! No one can tell Your Majesty what you dreamed, except the gods, and they do not live among us mortals.”
12 No keia mea, huhu iho la ke alii a ukiuki loa, a kauoha aku la oia e luku aku i ka poe naauao a pau ma Babulona.
This made the king extremely angry, and he ordered all the wise men of Babylon executed.
13 A holo ka olelo e lukuia ka poe naauao a pau; a imiia iho la o Daniela a me kona mau hoa e pepehiia'i lakou.
The decree was issued. The wise men were about to be executed, and the king's men went looking for Daniel and his friends.
14 Alaila, olelo aku la o Daniela me ka noonoo, a me ka naauao ia Arioka, i ka luna o ka poe ilamuku o ke alii, ka poe i hele aku e pepehi i ka poe naauao ma Babulona.
Daniel approached Arioch, the commander of the imperial guard, whom the king had put in charge of the order to execute all the wise men of Babylon. Wisely and tactfully
15 I aku la oia ia Arioka i ka luna o ke alii, i aku, No ke aha la ka holo wawe ana o ka olelo a ke alii? Alaila hoakaka mai la o Arioka ia Daniela i ua mea la.
Daniel asked him, “Why would the king issue such a harsh decree?” So Arioch explained to Daniel what had happened.
16 Alaila, komo ae la o Daniela, a noi aku la i ko alii e haawi mai ia ia i kekahi manawa, a e hoakaka aku no oia i ke alii i ka hoike.
Daniel immediately went to see the king and asked for more time to explain the dream and its meaning to him.
17 Alaila, hele aku la o Daniela i kona hale, a hoike aku ia mea ia Hanania, a me Misaela, a me Azaria, kona mau hoa;
Then Daniel went home and shared with Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah what was going on.
18 I noi aku lakou i ke aloha no ke Akua mai o ka lani, no keia mea i ike ole ia, i ole e make pu o Daniela a me kona mau hoa me na kanaka naauao e ae ma Babulona.
He told them to pray to the God of heaven, asking for help regarding this mystery, so that he and his friends would not be killed along with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 Alaila, ua hoakakaia mai ua mea ike ole ia la ia Daniela, ma ke akaku i ka po. A hoomaikai aku la o Daniela i ke Akua o ka lani.
That night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven:
20 Olelo aku o Daniela, i aku la, E hoomaikaiia ka inoa o ke Akua ia ao aku ia ao aku; no ka mea, nona ka naauao a me ka mana;
“Praise the wonderful nature of God forever and ever, for he is wise and powerful.
21 Nana no i hoololi mai i na wa a me na kau; nana no i kipaku aku i na'lii, a hooku hoi iluna i na'lii: haawi mai no hoi oia i ka naauao no ka poe naauao, a me ka ike no ka poe ike.
He is in charge of time and history. He removes kings, and he sets kings in place. He gives wisdom to make people wise; he gives knowledge to people so they can understand.
22 Ua hoakaka mai oia i na mea hohonu a me na mea i ike ole ia. Ua ike oia i na mea ma ka pouli, a me ia pu no ka malamalama.
He reveals deep, mysterious things. He knows what lies in darkness, and light lives in his presence.
23 Ke hoomaikai aku nei au ia oe, e ke Akua o ko'u poe kupuna, ke hoolea aku nei au ia oe, ka mea i haawi mai ia'u i ka naauao a me ka ikaika, ka mea i hoakaka mai i na mea a makou i noi aku ai ia oe; no ka mea, ua hoakaka mai oe ia makou i ka ke alii mea.
I give thanks and praise to you, God of my fathers, for you have given me wisdom and power. Now you have revealed to me what we asked you; you have revealed to us the king's dream.”
24 Alaila, hele aku la o Daniela io Arioka la, i ka mea a ke alii i hoonoho ai e pepehi i ka poe naauao ma Babulona; i aku la ia ia, Mai pepehi i ka poe naauao o Babulona; e alakai oe ia'u imua i ke alo o ke alii, a na'u no e hoakaka i ke alii i ka hoike.
So Daniel went to Arioch whom the king had ordered to execute the wise men of Babylon and told him, “Don't execute the wise men of Babylon! Take me to see the king and I will explain to him his dream.”
25 Alaila, wikiwiki iho la o Arioka i ke alakai ia Daniela imua o ke alii; i aku la ia ia, Ua loaa ia'u ke kanaka no ka poe pio o Iuda, oia ka mea nana e hoakaka i ke alii i ka hoike.
Arioch immediately took Daniel to the king and told him, “I've found one of the captives from Judah who can tell Your Majesty what your dream means.”
26 Olelo mai la ke alii ia Daniela, i ka mea i kapaia o Beletesaza, i mai, E hiki anei ia oe, ke hoakaka mai ia'u i ka moe uhane a'u i ike ai a me kona ano?
The king asked Daniel (also called Belteshazzar), “Are you really able to tell me what my dream was, and what it means?”
27 Olelo aku la o Daniela imua i ke alo o ke alii, i aku, O ka mea ikea ole a ke alii i koi mai ai, aole e hiki i ka poe naauao, a me ka poe akamai, a me ka poe magoi, a me na kilokilolani ke hoakaka i ke alii;
“No wise men or enchanters or magicians or diviners can explain the mystery Your Majesty wants to know,” Daniel replied.
28 Aka, aia ma ka lani ke Akua, ka mea e hoike mai i na mea i ike ole ia; oia ka mea e hoike mai i ke alii, ia Nebukaneza i na mea o hiki mai ana i na la mahope. O kau moe uhane, a me ka lia o kou poo ma kou wahi moe, penei no ia;
“But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has revealed to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the last days. Your dream and the visions that came to your mind as you were lying in bed were these.
29 A o oe, e ke alii, ua kupu kou manao ma kou wahi moe, no na mea e hiki mai ana mahope: a o ka mea hoike i na mea i ikea ole, nana no e hoakaka mai ia oe i na mea e hiki mai ana:
As Your Majesty lay there, your thoughts turned to the future, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what would take place.
30 A owau nei hoi, aole i hoakakaia mai ia'u keia mea ikea ole, no ka oi ana o ka naauao iloko o'u mamua o ko kekahi mea e ola ana; aka, i hoakakaia aku ai i ke alii ka hoike, a i ike no hoi oe i ka manao o kou naau iho.
It's not because I have any more wisdom than anyone else that this mystery has been revealed to me, but to explain to Your Majesty what you were thinking about so you could understand.
31 O oe, e ke alii, ua ike oe, aia hoi, he kii nui. O ua kii la, he mea e kona olinolino, ua ku mai ia imua ou, a o kona helehelena he mea weliweli loa ia.
Your Majesty, as you looked, there before you stood a great statue. The statue standing in front of you was huge, and blazingly bright. It looked terrifying!
32 O ke poo o ua kii la, he gula maemae ia, o kona umauma a me na lima he kala ia, o kona opu a me na uha he keleawe ia.
The head of the statue was gold, the chest and arms were silver, its middle and thighs were bronze,
33 O kona mau wawae he hao ia, a o kona mau kapuwai he hao kekahi, a he palolo kekahi.
its legs were iron, and its feet were iron and baked clay.
34 Ike aku la oe, aia hoi, he pohaku i kalai lima ole ia, oia ka i kui mai i ua kii la ma kona mau kapuwai hao me ka palolo, a weluwelu iho ia.
While you were watching, a stone was quarried, but not by human hands. It struck the iron and clay feet of the statue and smashed them to pieces.
35 Alaila, ua okaoka loa iho la ka hao, a me ka palolo, a me ke keleawe, ke kala, a me ke gula; a ua lilo lakou me he opala la ma ke kahua hehi o ke kau: a ua puhiia hoi e ka makani, aole wahi i loaa no lakou; aka, o ua pohaku la i kui i ke kii, ua lilo ia i mauna nui a piha ka honua ia ia.
Then the rest of the statue—the bronze, the silver, and the gold—broke into pieces like the iron and clay. The wind blew them all away like chaff from the summer threshing floor, so that no trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
36 Oia iho no ua moe la; a e hoakaka aku hoi makou i kona hoike imua o ke alii.
This was the dream, and now we will explain what it means to the king.
37 O oe no, e ke alii, he alii oe o na'lii; a ua haawi mai no ke Akua o ka lani ia oe i ke aupuni, a me ka mana, a me ka ikaika, a me ka hanohano.
Your Majesty, you are the king of kings to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, and power, strength, and glory.
38 A ma na wahi a pau i nohoia e na kanaka, ua haawi oia i na holoholona o ke kula, a me na manu o ka lewa iloko o kou lima, a ua hooalii mai ia oe maluna o na mea a pau. O oe no ua poo gula la.
He gave you control over all peoples, as well as the wild animals and birds. He made you ruler of all of them. You are the head of gold.
39 A mahope o kou e hookuia ana he aupuni e, ua emi mai ia mahope o kou; a o ke kolu o ke aupuni [e hookuia mai] he keleawe ia; oia ka mea e alii ana maluna o ka honua a pau.
But after you another kingdom will rise that is inferior to your kingdom and will replace yours. After that a third kingdom that is bronze will rise and rule over the whole world.
40 A o ka ha o ke aupuni e like auanei kona ikaika me he hao la: no ka. mea, o ka hao ka mea e weluwelu ai, a e okaoka loa ai na mea a pau; a e like me ka hao i hooweluwelu liilii ai i keia mau mea a pau, pela no oia e okaoka loa ai.
The fourth kingdom will be strong as iron and in the same way that iron crushes and smashes everything; it will crush and smash all others.
41 A i kou ike ana i na kapuwai a me na manamana wawae he palolo a ka potera kekahi, a he hao kekahi, e maheleia ana ke aupuni; aka, o ka ikaika o ka hao kekahi mea iloko ona, e like me kou ike ana i ka hao i huipuia'i me ka palolo.
You saw the feet and toes made from iron and baked clay, and this indicates it will be a divided kingdom. It will have some of the strength of iron but mixed with clay.
42 E like me ua mau manamana wawae la he hao kekahi a he palolo kekahi, pela keia aupuni, he ikaika kekahi, a he nawaliwali kekahi.
As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
43 A me kou ike ana i ka hao i huipuia me ka palolo, pela lakou i huipuia'i me ka hua o kanaka; aole nae e pili pono kekahi i kekahi, e like me ka hao, aole pili pono i ka palolo.
In the same way that you saw the iron mixed with ordinary clay, so the people will mix but they will not stick together just as iron and clay do not mix.
44 Ma na la o keia poe alii, e kukulu mai ai ke Akua o ka lani i aupuni mau loa, aole hoi e hoohioloia ia aupuni; aole nae ia e lilo no ka lahuikanaka e, aka, ia ia no e weluwelu hilii auanei a okaoka loa keia mau aupuni a pau, a e mau loa aku ana no ia.
During the time of these kings the God of heaven will set up an eternal kingdom that will never be destroyed or taken over by others. It will crush all these kingdoms, bringing them to an end, and it will last forever,
45 A i kou ike ana i ua pohaku la i kalai lima ole ia'i mailoko mai o ka mauna, i weluwelu liilii ai ka hao, a me ke keleawe, a me ka palolo, a me ke kala, a me ke gula; oia ko ke Akua kiekie hoike ana mai i ke alii i na mea e hiki mai ana mahope; ua oiaio ka moe, a o kona hoike ua paa loa ia.
in the same way that you saw the stone quarried from the mountain, but not by human hands, crush the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold. The great God has revealed to Your Majesty what is to come. The dream is true, and the explanation is trustworthy.”
46 Alaila, moe iho la o Nebukaneza ke alii ilalo ka maka, a hoomana aku la ia Daniela; a kauoha aku la oia i mohai aku lakou ia ia i ka mohai a me na mea ala.
Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell down before Daniel and worshiped him, and ordered offerings of grain and incense to be made to him.
47 Olelo mai la ke alii ia Daniela, i mai, He oiaio no o ko oukou Akua he Akua ia o na akua, a he Haku o na'lii, oia hoi ka mea e hoakaka mai i na mea i ike ole ia, no ka mea, ia oe no e hiki ai ke hoakaka mai i keia mea i ike ole ia.
The king said to Daniel, “Truly, your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, the revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery.”
48 Alaila, hoolilo ae la ke alii ia Daniela i kanaka nui, haawi hoi ia ia i na makana he nui wale, a hoolilo ia ia i kiaaina o na aina a pau ma Babulona, a i luna hoi maluna o ka poe naauao a pau o Babulona.
Then the king promoted Daniel to a high position and gave him many expensive gifts, making him governor over the whole province of Babylon and head of all the wise men of Babylon.
49 A noi aku la o Daniela i ke alii, a hoonoho iho la oia ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, maluna o ka oihana e pili ana i ka aina o Babulona: aka, o Daniela ua nobo ia ma ka ipuka o ke alii.
At Daniel's request, the king placed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in charge of the province of Babylon, and Daniel remained at the king's court.
