Daniela 4
1 O NEBUKANEZA ke alii, i na kanaka a pau, a me na lahuikanaka, a me na olelo e, e noho ana ma ka honua a pau: E hoomahuahuaia ana ko oukou maluhia.
Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.
2 He mea pono i ko'u manao ke hoakaka aku i na hoailona, a me na hana mana a ke Akua kiekie i hana mai ai ia'u.
It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has wrought toward me.
3 He manomano kona mau hoailona, a he kupaianaha hoi kana mau hana mana! O kona aupuni, he aupuni mau loa ia, a o kona alii ana, mai ia hanauna aku ia, a ia hanauna aku.
How great are his signs, and how mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
4 Owau, o Nebukaneza, ua noho maluhia au iloko o ko'u hale, a pomaikai no au ma kuu halealii;
I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.
5 Ua moe uhane au i ka moe, o ka'u mea ia i weliweli ai, a o na manao maluna o ko'u wahi moe a me ka lia ana o ko'u poo, o ka'u mau mea ia e pihoihoi ai.
I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
6 No ia mea, kauoha aku la au e alakaiia mai imua o'u ka poe naauao a pau o Babulona, i hoakaka mai lakou ia'u i ke ano o ka'u moe.
Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
7 A hele mai no ka poe magoi, a me ka poe hoopiopio, a me ka poe Kaledea, a me ka poe kilokilo, a hoike aku au ia lakou i ka moe; aole i hiki ia lakou ke hai mai i kona mea hoike.
Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers came in, and I told the dream before them, but they did not make the interpretation of it known to me.
8 Mahope iho, hele mai imua o'u o Dauiela, ka mea i kapaia o Beletesaza mamuli o ka inoa o ko'u akua, no ka mea, aia iloko ona ka uhane o na akua hemolele; a hai aku au ia ia i ka'u moe;
But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. And I told the dream before him, saying,
9 E Beletesaza, e ka luna o na magoi, no ka mea, ua ike au aia iloko ou ka uhane o na akua hemolele, aole ou wahi hemahema ma ka mea i ike ole ia, e hai mai oe i ka moe a'u i ike ai a me kona ano.
O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubles thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.
10 Penei ka lia ana a ko'u poo maluna o ko'u wahi moe: aia hoi, ua ike au, he laau iwaenakonu o ka honua, a o kona kiekie, ua oi nui loa aku ia.
Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and, behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height of it was great.
11 Ulu ae la ua laau la a nui; o kona kiekie ua hiki aku ia i ka lani, a ua ike hoi ia ma na kihi a pau o ka honua.
The tree grew, and was strong, and the height of it reached to heaven, and the sight of it to the end of all the earth.
12 O na lau ona ua maikai ia, a he nui no hoi kona hua, aia hoi maloko ona he ai na na mea a pau; ua hoomaluia na holoholona o ke kula malalo iho ona, ua kau mai hoi na manu o ka lewa maluna o kona mau lala, a ua hanaiia na mea io a pau i ko ua laau la.
The leaves of it were fine, and the fruit of it much, and food was in it for all. The beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the heavens dwelt in the branches of it. And all flesh was fed from it.
13 Ua ike au ma ka lia ana o kuu poo maluna iho o ko'u wahi moe, aia hoi, he mea kiai a he mea hemolele e iho mai ana mai ka lani mai:
I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven.
14 Kahea mai la oia me ka leo nui, a penei hoi kana olelo ana, E kua aku i ka laau, a e okioki i kona mau lala, e lulu aku i kona lau, a e hoohelelei hoi i kona hua; e haalele na holoholona i kona malu, a me na manu hoi i kona mau lala.
He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches. Shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches.
15 Aka, e waiho i ke kumu okona aa ma ka lepo, me ke apo hao, a me ke keleawe, mawaena o na mea uliuli o ke kula; a e hoopuluia oia i ka hau o ka lani, o kona kuleana aia no ia me na holoholona ma ka mauu o ka honua.
Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field. And let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth.
16 E hooliloia kona naau kanaka, a e haawiia ia ia ka naau holoholona; a hala ae na manawa ehiku maluna ona.
Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given to him. And let seven times pass over him.
17 O ka manao paa keia o na mea kiai, a o ke kauoha hoi a na mea hemolele; i ike ai ka poe e ola ana aia maluna o ke aupuni kanaka ka Mea kiekie e alii ana a haawi aku no oia ia mea na ka mea ana e makemake ai, a hoonoho maluna iho i na kanaka lalo loa.
The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will, and sets up over it the lowest of men.
18 Eia ka moe a'u a ke alii a Ne bukaneza i ike ai: ano e Beletesa za, e hai mai oe ia'u i ka hoike; no ka mea, aole e hiki i ka poe naauao a pau o ko'u aupuni ke hoakaka mai i ka hoike: aka, e hiki no ia oe, no ka mea, aia iloko ou ka uhane o na akua hemolele.
This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. And thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, inasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation. But thou are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
19 Alaila pilipu iho la o Daniela i kapaia o Beletesaza i hookahi hora, a pono ole kona manao. Ekemu mai la ke alii, i mai, E Beletesaza, mai pilipu kou manao no ka moe, a me kona ano. I aku la o Beletesaza, E ko'u haku, i ka poe i hoino mai ia oe keia moe, a o ka hoohalike ana i kou poe enemi no ia.
Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, may the dream be to those who hate thee, and the interpretation of it to thine adversaries.
20 O ka laau au i ike ai, he nui. a he ikaika, o kona kiekie i hiki aku i ka lani, a ua ikeia hoi ia e ko ka honua a pau;
The tree that thou saw, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached to heaven, and the sight of it to all the earth,
21 O na lau ona he maikai, a nui kona hua, a maloko ona he ai na na mea a pau; a i hoomaluhia ai na holoholona o ke kula malalo iho ona, a maluna o kona mau lala i kau ai na manu o ka lewa:
whose leaves were fine, and the fruit of it much, and in it was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the birds of the heavens had their habitation,
22 O oe no ia, e ke alii, ua mahuahua oe a lilo i mea ikaika; no ka mea, ua mahuahua kou nui a hiki i ka lani, a o kou alii ana i ka welau o ka honua.
it is thou, O king, who have grown and become strong. For thy greatness has grown, and reaches to heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
23 A o kau ike ana, e ke alii, i ka mea kiai, he mea hemolele e iho mai ana, mai ka lani mai, e olelo ana, E kua aku i ka laau, a e hoopau ia ia; aka, e waiho i ke kumu o kona aa ma ka lepo, me ke apo hao a me ke keleawe, mawaena o na mea uliuli o ke kula; a e hoopuluia i ka hau o ka lani, o kona kuleana aia no ia me na holoholona o ke kula, a hala aku na manawa ehiku maluna iho ona;
And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it. Nevertheless leave the stump of the roots of it in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field. And let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;
24 Eia ka hoike ana, e ke alii e, a eia hoi ka manao paa o ka Mea kiekie, ka mea e kau mai ana maluna o kuu haku ke alii:
this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king:
25 E kipaku lakou ia oe mai na kanaka aku, a o kou wahi e noho ai aia no ia me na holoholona o ke kula, a e ai iho oe i ka weuweu e like me na bipi kauo, a e hoopuluia no hoi oe i ka hau o ka lani, a ha la na manawa ehiku maluna ou, a ike oe e alii ana ka Mea kiekie maluna o ke aupuni kanaka, a haawi aku no oia ia mea i kana mea e manao ai.
That thou shall be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. And thou shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of heaven. And seven times shall pass over thee till thou know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.
26 A e like me ka mea i oleloia, e waihoia ke kumu o na aa o ua laau la; eia, a ike oe no na lani mai ke alii ana, alaila e paa ai ia oe kou aupuni.
And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, thy kingdom shall be sure to thee, after thou shall have known that the heavens do rule.
27 No ia mea, e ke alii e, e haliu oluolu mai oe i ko'u manao, a e huli oe mai kou hewa mai i ka pono, a mai kou lawehala ana i ka manawalea aku i ka poe hune; pela paha e hooloihiia mai ai kou manawa pono.
Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, if there may be a lengthening of thy tranquility.
28 A kau mai no keia mau mea a pau maluna o Nebukaneza ke alii.
All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
29 A pau na malama he umi kumamalua e holoholo ana no ia maluna o ka halealii o ke aupuni o Babulona;
At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon.
30 Olelo iho la ke alii, i iho la, Aole anei keia o Babulona nui ka mea a'u i kukulu ai i hale no ke aupuni, me ka ikaika o ko'u mana, a no ka hanohano o ko'u nani?
The king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?
31 Aia iloko o ko ke alii waha keia olelo, pae mai la ka leo mai ka lani mai, i mai la, E Nebukaneza, e ke alii e, ua olelo ia ia oe, Ua maalo ae ke aupuni mai ou aku.
While the word was in the king's mouth, a voice from heaven fell, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee.
32 A e kipakuia no oe mai na kanaka aku, a o kou wahi e noho ai aia pu no ia me na holoholona o ke kula; a e hanaiia oe i ka mauu e like me na bipi kauo, a hala mai maluna ou na manawa ehiku; a ike oe o ka Mea kiekie oia ke alii ma ke aupuni o kanaka, a e haawiia no ia i kana mea e manao ai.
And thou shall be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. Thou shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.
33 Ia hora no, ua ko ia olelo maluna o Nebukaneza: ua kipakuia oia mai na kanaka aku, na ai iho no ia i ka mauu e like me na bipi kauo, ua pulu kona kino i ka hau o ka laui, a loloa kona hulu e like me na hulu o ka aeto, a o kona mau maiuu ua like me na maiuu o na manu.
The same hour the thing was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar. And he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen. And his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair was grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
34 I ka pau ana o ua mau la la, owau o Nebukaneza, ua leha ae au i kuu mau maka i ka lani, a hoi mai ia'u kuu ike; a hoomaikai aku au i ka Mea kiekie, hoonani aku au, a hoomana hoi i ka Mea e oia mau ana, ua mau loa kona alii ana, a o koua aupuni ia hanauna aku a ia hanauna aku.
And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me. And I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever. For his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.
35 A ua manaoia ko ka honua a pau he mea ole; ua hana no hoi oia e like me kona makemake mawaena o na puali o ka lani, a me ko ka honua; aole e hiki i kekahi ke hoopaa aku i kona lima, aole hoi e olelo aku ia ia, Heaha kau e hana nei?
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing, and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth. And none can stay his hand, or say to him, What are thou doing?
36 Ia manawa no ua hoi mai ia'u kuu manao; a me ka hanohano o ko'u aupuni, ua hoi mai ia'u kuu nani a me kuu naauao; a launa mai ia'u kuu, poe kakaolelo, a me ko'u poe kaukaualii; ua paa hou au ma kuu aupuni, a ua hoonui hoi ia kuu hanohano.
At the same time my understanding returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned to me, and my counselors and my lords sought to me. And I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me.
37 Ano owau o Nebukaneza ke hoonani aku nei au, ke hoolea aku hoi me ka mahalo i ke Alii o ka lani, o kana mau hana ua pau i ka oiaio, a o kona mau aoao ua pololei loa; a o ka poe e hele ana ma ka haaheo, e hiki no ia ia ke hoohaahaa iho ia lakou.
Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are truth, and his ways justice. And he is able to abase those who walk in pride.
