< 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.
In [his] eighteenth year Nabuchodonosor the king made a golden image, its height was sixty cubits, its breadth six cubits: and he set it up in the plain of Deira, in the province 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 he sent forth to gather the governors, and the captains, and the heads of provinces, chiefs, and princes, and those who were in authority, and all the rulers of districts, to come to the dedication of the image.
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.
So the heads of provinces, the governors, the captains, the chiefs, the great princes, those who were in authority, and all the rulers of districts, were gathered to the dedication of the image which king Nabuchodonosor had set up; and they stood before the image.
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 a herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, you peoples, tribes, [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:
at what hour you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, and sackbut, and lute, and every kind of music, you shall fall down and worship the golden image which king Nabuchodonosor has set 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 whoever shall not fall down and worship, in the same hour he shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace.
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.
And it came to pass when the nations heard the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, and sackbut, and lute, and all kinds of music, all the nations, tribes, [and] languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.
8 A ia manawa no, hele mai la kekahi o ka poe Kaledea, a hoopii aku no kekahi o ka poe Iudaio.
Then came near [certain] Chaldeans, and accused the Jews to the king, [saying],
9 Olelo aku lakou, i aku la ia Nebukaneza i ke alii, E ke alii, e ola mau loa oe.
O king, live 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, has made a decree that every man who shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, sackbut, and lute, and all kinds of music,
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 shall not fall down and worship the golden image, shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace.
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 has appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, who have not obeyed your decree, O king: they serve not your gods, and worship not the golden image which you have set 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 Nabuchodonosor in wrath and anger commanded to bring Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago: and they were brought 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?
And Nabuchodonosor answered and said to them, Is it true, Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, that you serve not my gods, and worship not the golden image which I have set 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 then if you be ready, whenever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and pipe, and harp, and sackbut, and lute, and harmony, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the golden image which I have made; [well]: but if you worship not, in the same hour you shall be cast into the burning fiery furnace; and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand?
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.
Then answered Sedrach, Misach [and] Abdenago and said to king Nabuchodonosor, We have no need to answer you concerning this matter.
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.
For our God whom we serve is in the heavens, able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will rescue us from your hands, O king.
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 it known to you, O king, that we [will] not serve your gods, nor worship the image which you have set 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 Nabuchodonosor was filled with wrath, and the form of his countenance was changed towards Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago: and he gave orders to heat the furnace seven times [more than usual], until it should burn to the uttermost.
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 commanded mighty men to bind Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast [them] into the burning fiery furnace.
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 those men were bound with their coats, and caps, and hose, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace,
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.
forasmuch as the king's word prevailed; and the furnace was made exceeding hot.
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.
Then these three men, Sedrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell bound into the midst of the burning furnace, and walked in the midst of the flame, singing praise to God, and blessing the Lord.
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.
And Nabuchodonosor heard them singing praises; and he wondered, and rose up in haste, and said to his nobles, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? and they said to the king, Yes, 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.
And the king said, But I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there has no harm happened to them; and the appearance of the fourth is like the Son of God.
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 Nabuchodonosor drew near to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said, Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, you servants of the most high God, proceed forth, and come here. So Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, came forth out of the midst 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.
Then were assembled the satraps, and captains, and heads of provinces, and the royal princes; and they saw the men, [and perceived] that the fire had not had power against their bodies, and the hair of their head was not burnt, and their coats were not scorched, nor was the smell of fire upon 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.
And king Nabuchodonosor answered and said, Blessed be the God of Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants, because they trusted in him; and they have changed the king's word, and delivered their bodies to be burnt, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own 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.
Therefore I publish a decree: Every people, tribe, [or] language, that shall speak reproachfully against the God of Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago shall be destroyed, and their houses shall be plundered: because there is no other God who shall be able to deliver thus.
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 promoted Sedrach, Misach, [and] Abdenago, in the province of Babylon, and advanced them, and gave them authority to rule over all the Jews who were in his kingdom.
