< Daniela 3 >

1 HANA iho la o Nebukaneza ke alii i kii gula, o kona kiekie he kanaono kubita, a o kona laula eono ia kubita; a kukulu iho la oia ia mea ma ka papu o Dura, ma ka aina o Babulona.
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide: he put it up in the valley of Dura, in the land of Babylon.
2 Alaila, hoouna aku la o Nebukaneza ke alii, e hoakoakoa mai i na'lii, a me na kiaaina, i na luna koa, ua lunakanawai, a me na lunawaiwai, i na kakaolelo, a me na ilamuku, a me na luna a pau o na aina, e hele mai no ka hoolaa ana i ua kii la a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai.
And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to get together all the captains, the chiefs, the rulers, the wise men, the keepers of public money, the judges, the overseers, and all the rulers of the divisions of the country, to come to see the unveiling of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up.
3 Alaila, ua hoakoakoaia mai na'lii, a me na kiaaina, i na luna koa, na lunakanawai, a me na lunawaiwai, na kakaolelo, a me na ilamuku, a me na luna a pau o na aina, no ka hoolaa ana i ke kii a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai: a ku lakou imua o ua kii la a Nebukaneza i kukulu ai.
Then the captains, the chiefs, the rulers, the wise men, the keepers of public money, the judges, the overseers, and all the rulers of the divisions of the country, came together to see the unveiling of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up; and they took their places before the image which Nebuchadnezzar had put up.
4 A kahea aku la ka luna kukala me ka leo nui, Ua kauohaia mai oukou, e na kanaka, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na elelo,
Then one of the king's criers said in a loud voice, To you the order is given, O peoples, nations, and languages,
5 I ka wa a oukou e lohe ai i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, a me ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka violaumi, a me ka dukima, a me na mea kani a pau, alaila e moe kukuli iho oukou, a e hoomana aku i ke kii gula a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai:
That when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to your ears, you are to go down on your faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king has put up:
6 A o ka mea i moe ole ilalo, a hoomana ole aku, ia hora no e hooleiia aku ai oia iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
And anyone not falling down and worshipping will that same hour be put into a burning and flaming fire.
7 No ia mea, ia manawa, i ka lohe ana o kanaka a pau i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, a me ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka violaumi, a me na mea kani a pau, a e moe kukuli iho na kauaka a pau, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na elelo, a hoomana aku lakou i ua kii gula la a Nebukaneza ke alii i kukulu ai.
So at that time, all the people, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and all sorts of instruments, came to their ears, went down on their faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up.
8 A ia manawa no, hele mai la kekahi o ka poe Kaledea, a hoopii aku no kekahi o ka poe Iudaio.
At that time certain Chaldaeans came near and made a statement against the Jews.
9 Olelo aku lakou, i aku la ia Nebukaneza i ke alii, E ke alii, e ola mau loa oe.
They made answer and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, O King, have life for ever.
10 Ua kau mai oe, e ke alii, i kanawai penei, Aia lohe na kanaka a pau i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka violaumi a me ka dukima, a me na mea kani a pau, e moe kukuli iho lakou a hoomana aku i ua kii gula la.
You, O King, have given an order that every man, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to his ears, is to go down on his face in worship before the image of gold:
11 A o ka mea i moe ole ilalo, a hoomana ole, e hooleiia aku oia iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
And anyone not falling down and worshipping is to be put into a burning and flaming fire.
12 Aia hoi kekahi mau kanaka no ka poe Iudaio, na mea au i hoonoho ai maluna o na mea ma ka aina o Babulona, o Saderaka, o Mesaka, a o Abedenego; o keia mau kanaka, ea, aole lakou e hoolohe i kau, e ke alii e; aole lakou malama i kou mau akua, aole no hoi lakou i hoomana aku i ke kii gula au i kukulu ai.
There are certain Jews whom you have put over the business of the land of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men have not given attention to you, O King: they are not servants of your gods or worshippers of the gold image which you have put up.
13 Alaila, kauoha aku la o Nebukaneza, me kona huhu a me kona ukiuki loa, E alakai mai ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego; a ua alakaiia mai no keia mau kanaka imua o ke alii.
Then Nebuchadnezzar in his wrath and passion gave orders for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego to be sent for. Then they made these men come in before the king.
14 Olelo aku o Nebukaneza, i aku la ia lakou, Ma ko oukou manao anei ia, e Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego? Aole anei oukou e malama i ko'u mau akua, aole hoi i hoomana i ke kii gala a'u i kukulu ai?
Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that you will not be servants of my god or give worship to the image of gold which I have put up?
15 Ina hoi e noho makaukau oukou, i ka wa a oukou e lohe ai i ka leo o ka pu, a me ka ohe, a me ka lira, a me ka hokiokio, a me ka dukima, a me ka violaumi, a me na mea kani a pau, a e moe iho oukou e hoomana aku i ke kii gula a'u i kukulu ai, ua pono; aka, i ole oukou e hoomana aku, ia hora no, e hooleiia'i oukou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana. A owai la ke Akua nana oukou e hoopakele mai kuu lima aku?
Now if you are ready, on hearing the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, to go down on your faces in worship before the image which I have made, it is well: but if you will not give worship, that same hour you will be put into a burning and flaming fire; and what god is there who will be able to take you out of my hands?
16 Olelo mai la o Saderaka, o Mesaka, a me Abedenego, i mai la i ke alii, E Nebukaneza, aole o makou mea e pane aku ai i kau ma keia mea.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answering Nebuchadnezzar the king, said, There is no need for us to give you an answer to this question.
17 Ina pela, o ko makou Akua ka mea a makou e malama nei, e hiki no ia ia ke hoopakele ia makou mai ka umu ahi e aa ana, a e hoopakele no hoi ia makou mai kou lima aku, e ke alii.
If our God, whose servants we are, is able to keep us safe from the burning and flaming fire, and from your hands, O King, he will keep us safe.
18 A i ole hoi ia, e ike auanei oe, e ke alii, aole makou e malama i kou mau akua, aole hoi makou e hoomana aku i ke kii gula au i kukulu ai.
But if not, be certain, O King, that we will not be the servants of your gods, or give worship to the image of gold which you have put up.
19 Alaila, piha ae la o Nebukaneza i ka huhu, a ano e ae La kona helehelena ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego; a hoolale ae la oia e hoaa i ka umu ahi a pahiku ka enaena ana i kona mau e enaena ai.
Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of wrath, and the form of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: and he gave orders that the fire was to be heated up seven times more than it was generally heated.
20 A kena aku la oia i na kanaka ikaika o kona poe koa, e nakinaki ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, a e hoolei ia lakou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
And he gave orders to certain strong men in his army to put cords on Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego and put them into the burning and flaming fire.
21 Alaila, nakinakiia iho la ua poe kanaka la me ko lakou mau lole wawae, a me na palule, a me na kapa aahu, a me na kapa e ae, a hooleiia lakou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
Then these men had cords put round them as they were, in their coats, their trousers, their hats, and their clothing, and were dropped into the burning and flaming fire.
22 A no ka ikaika o ka ke alii kauoha a me ke okoko loa o ka enaena ana o ka umu ahi, nolaila, ua make i ke apoia e ke okoko ana o ke ahi ka poe kanaka nana i hapai o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego.
And because the king's order was not to be put on one side, and the heat of the fire was so great, the men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were burned to death by the flame of the fire.
23 A o keia mau kanaka ekolu i nakinakiia, o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, haule no lakou iloko o ka umu ahi e aa ana.
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, with the cords about them, went down into the burning and flaming fire.
24 Alaila, pihoihoi iho la o Nebukaneza ke alii, a ku koke oia iluna, olelo aku la ia i kona poe kuhina, i aku la, Aole anei kakou i hoolei aku i ekolu kanaka i nakinakiia iloko o ke ahi? I mai lakou ia ia, E ke alii e, he oiaio no ia.
Then King Nebuchadnezzar, full of fear and wonder, got up quickly, and said to his wise men, Did we not put three men in cords into the fire? and they made answer and said to the king, True, O King.
25 Olelo aku oia, i aku la, Aia hoi, ke ike nei au i na kanaka eha, aole i nakinakiia, e hele ana iloko o ke ahi, aole o lakou wela; a o ka ha, ua like ia me he keiki a ke Akua.
He made answer and said, Look! I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are not damaged; and the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods.
26 Alaila, hookokoke aku la o Nebukaneza ma ka puka o ka umu ahi e aa ana, a olelo aku, i aku la, E Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, e na kauwa a ke Akua kiekie loa, e puka mai oukou, a e hele mai ia'u: alaila puka mai o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, mai loko mai o ke ahi.
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near the door of the burning and flaming fire: he made answer and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, you servants of the Most High God, come out and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out of the fire.
27 Ua akoakoa iho la na alii, a me na kiaaina, a me na lunakoa, a me na kuhina o ke alii, a ike lakou i keia mau kanaka, aole lanakila ke ahi maluna o ko lakou mau kino, aole hoi i wela kekahi lauoho o ko lakou mau poo, aole i aa iki ia ko lakou kapa, aole hoi ka hohono ahi i pili ia lakou.
And the captains, the chiefs, and the rulers, and the king's wise men who had come together, saw these men, over whose bodies the fire had no power, and not a hair of their heads was burned, and their coats were not changed, and there was no smell of fire about them.
28 Alaila, olelo aku o Nebukaneza, i aku la, E hoomaikaiiia ke Akua o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, ka mea i hoouna mai i kona anela, a i hoopakele mai i kona poe kauwa, ka poe i manaoio aku ia ia; ua hoolohe ole lakou i ka olelo a ke alii, a ua haawi lakou i ko lakou mau kino, i ole lakou e malama, a e hoomana i na akua e, aka, i ko lakou Akua wale no.
Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said, Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel and kept his servants safe who had faith in him, and who put the king's word on one side and gave up their bodies to the fire, so that they might not be servants or worshippers of any other god but their God.
29 No ia mea, ke kau aku nei au i kanawai paa, O na kanaka a pau, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na olelo, ke hoino wale aku i ke Akua o Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, e okioki liilii ia lakou, a e hooliloia ko lakou mau hale i hooleina moka; no ka mea, aohe akua e ae e hiki ai ke hoopakele e like me keia.
And it is my decision that any people, nation, or language saying evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, will be cut to bits and their houses made waste: because there is no other god who is able to give salvation such as this.
30 No ia mea, hookiekie iho la ke alii ia Saderaka, a me Mesaka, a me Abedenego, ma ka aina o Babulona.
Then the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego even greater authority in the land of Babylon.
