Daniela 5
1 HANA iho la o Belehazara ke alii i ahaaina nui no kona poe alii hookahi tausani, a inu oia i ka waina imua o ua tausaui la.
Later, King Belshazzar held a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and he drank wine with them.
2 A i ko Belehazara hoao iki ana i ka waina, kauoha mai la oia e lawe mai i na kiaha gula, a me ke kala, na mea a Nebukaneza kona makuakane i lawe mai ai mai ka luakini ma Ierusalema mai; i inu ai ke alii, a me kona poe alii, a me kana mau wahine, a me na haiawahine ana iloko o ia mau mea.
Under the influence of the wine, Belshazzar gave orders to bring in the gold and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king could drink from them, along with his nobles, his wives, and his concubines.
3 Alaila lawe mai lakou i na kiaha gula, na mea i laweia, mai ka luakiui ka hale o ke Akua ma Ierusalema; a inu iho la malaila ke alii, a me kona poe alii, a me na wahine ana, a me kana mau haiawahine:
Thus they brought in the gold vessels that had been taken from the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king drank from them, along with his nobles, his wives, and his concubines.
4 Inu iho la lakou i ka waina, a hoomaikai lakou i na akua o ke gula, o ke kala, o ke keleawe, o ka hao, o ka laau, a o ka pohaku.
As they drank the wine, they praised their gods of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone.
5 Ia hora no, puka mai la na manamana lima kanaka, a kakau iho la maluna ae o ka ipukukui ma ka puna o ka paia o ko ke alii hale; a ike aku la ke alii i ka hapa o ka lima e kakau ana.
At that moment the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. As the king watched the hand that was writing,
6 Alaila ano e ae la ko ke alii maka, a pihoihoi iho la kona manao; ua naka wale iho la ke ami o kona papakole, a puke kona mau kuli i kekahi i kekahi.
his face grew pale and his thoughts so alarmed him that his hips gave way and his knees knocked together.
7 A kahea aku la ke alii me ka leo nui i alakaiia mai na hoopiopio, a me ka poe Kaledea, a me na kilokilo. Olelo aku la ke alii i ka poe naauao o Babulona, i aku la, O ka mea nana e heluhelu i keia palapala, a e hoakaka mai i ke ano, e hoaahuia oia i ke kapa ulaula, a e kauia ka lei gala ma kona a-i, a e hooliloia oia o ke kolu o na'lii ma ke aupuni.
The king called out for the enchanters, astrologers, and diviners to be brought in, and he said to these wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this inscription and tells me its interpretation will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
8 A hele mai no ka poe naauao o ke alii; aole nae i hiki ia lakou ke heluhelu i ka palapala, aole hoi ke hoakaka i ke alii i ke ano.
So all the king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the inscription or interpret it for him.
9 Alaila pihoihoi nui iho la o Belehazara ke alii, ua ano e ae la kona maka, a makau pu iho la kona poe alii.
Then King Belshazzar became even more terrified, his face grew even more pale, and his nobles were bewildered.
10 No keia mea a ke alii, a me na'lii ona, komo mai la ke alii wahine iloko o ka hale aha inu; a olelo ae la ke alii wahine, i ae la, E ke alii e, e ola mau loa oe. Mai pihoihoi kou manao, aole hoi e hooano e ae kou maka:
Hearing the outcry of the king and his nobles, the queen entered the banquet hall. “O king, may you live forever!” she said. “Do not let your thoughts terrify you, or your face grow pale.
11 No ka mea, e noho ana ke kanaka iloko o kou aupuni, aia iloko ona ka uhane o na akua hemolele; a i na la o kou makua, ua loaa iloko ona ka malamalama, a me ka naauao, a me ke akamai, e like me ke akamai o na akua; ka mea a ke alii a Nebukaneza, a kou makua, a ke alii kou makua no, i hoonoho ai i alii maluna o na kakauolelo, a me na magoi, a me ka poe Kaledea, a me ka poe kilokilo:
There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In the days of your father he was found to have insight, intelligence, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners. Your own father, the king,
12 No ka mea, aia iloko o Daniela ka mea a ke alii i kapa ai o Beletesaza, he uhane naauao loa, a me ke akamai, o ka hoakaka ana i na moe, ka hoomaopopo ana i na olelo nane, a me ka hoike ana i na mea pohihihi; ano e kiiia aku o Daniela, a nana no e hoakaka mai i ke ano.
did this because Daniel, the one he named Belteshazzar, was found to have an extraordinary spirit, as well as knowledge, understanding, and the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve difficult problems. Summon Daniel, therefore, and he will give you the interpretation.”
13 Alaila alakaiia mai la o Daniela imua o ke alii. Olelo aku la ke alii ia Daniela, i aku la, O oe anei ua Daniela la, no ka poe pio no Iuda, ka poe a ke alii a ko'u makuakane i lawe pio ae ai mai Iuda mai?
So Daniel was brought before the king, who asked him, “Are you Daniel, one of the exiles my father the king brought from Judah?
14 Ua lohe au nou, aia iloko ou ka uhane o na akua, a ua loaa iloko ou ka malamalama, a me ka naauao, a me ke akamai.
I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that you have insight, intelligence, and extraordinary wisdom.
15 Ua alakaiia mai imua o'u ka poe naauao, a me ka poe kilo, i heluhelu lakou i keia palapala, a i hoakaka mai i ke ano; aole nae i hiki ia lakou ke hoike mai i ke ano o ia mea.
Now the wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this inscription and interpret it for me, but they could not give its interpretation.
16 A ua lohe au nou, e hiki ia oe ke hoakaka mai i ke ano, a e hoike mai i na mea pohihihi. Ano hoi, ina e hiki ia oe ke heluhelu i keia palapala, a e hoakaka mai i ke ano, alaila e hoaahuia oe i ke kana ulaula, a e kauia he lei gula ma kou a-i, a e hooliloia oe o ko kolu no na'lii iloko o ke aupuni.
But I have heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. Therefore, if you can read this inscription and give me its interpretation, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
17 Ekemu aku la o Daniela, i aku la imua o ke alii, E malama i kou haawina nou iho, a me kou uku na hai; aka, e heluhelu no au ia palapala no ke alii, a e hoakaka no hoi au i ke ano.
In response, Daniel said to the king, “You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the inscription for the king and interpret it for him.
18 E ke alii e, ua haawi mai ke Akua kiekie ia Nebukaneza i kou makua, i ke aupuni, a me ka nani, a me ka hanohano, a me ka mahaloia mai;
As for you, O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness, glory and honor.
19 A no ka hanohano ana i haawi mai ai ia ia, ua makau, a haalulu iho la na lahuikanaka, a me na aina, a me na olelo imua ona; ua pepehi ia i kana mau mea i makemake ai, a na hoola no hoi oia i kana mau mea i makemake ai; na hookiekie hoi ia i kana mau mea i makemake ai, ua hoohaahaa no hoi ia i na mea ana i makemake ai.
Because of the greatness that He bestowed on him, the people of every nation and language trembled in fear before him. He killed whom he wished and kept alive whom he wished; he exalted whom he wished and humbled whom he wished.
20 Aka, i ka wa i hookiekie ai kona naau, a paakiki no hoi kona manao me ka haakei, ua kipakuia oia mai ka noho alii ona, a ua laweia'ku kona hanohano mai ona aku la.
But when his heart became arrogant and his spirit was hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne, and his glory was taken from him.
21 Ua kipakuia oia mai na kanaka aku; a ua hooliloia kona naau e like me ko na holoholona, o kona wahi e noho ai, aia pu me na hoki hihiu; ua hanaiia oia i ka mauu e like me na bipi kauo, a hoopuluia kona kino i ka hau o ka lani; a ike oia i ke alii ana o ke Akua kiekie iloko o ke aupuni o kanaka, a me kona hoonoho ana i ka mea ana e makemake ai maluna iho.
He was driven away from mankind, and his mind was like that of a beast. He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High God rules over the kingdom of mankind, setting over it whom He wishes.
22 A o oe, e Belehazara kana keiki e, ua ike no oe i keia mea a pau, aole nae oe i hoohaahaa i kou naau iho;
But you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this.
23 Aka, ua hookiekie oe ia oe iho maluna o ke Akua o ka lani; a na laweia mai na kiaha o kona hale imua ou, a o oe a me kou poe alii, a me kou mau wahine, a me na haiawahine au, ua inu oukou i ka waina iloko olaila; a hoolea oe i na akua kala a me ke gula, a me ke keleawe, a me ka hao, a me ka laau, a me ka pohaku, na mea ike ole, aole lohe, aole hoi i noonoo; aka, aole oe i hoonani i ke Akua, ka mea iloko o kona lima kou hanu, a nona kou mau aoao a pau.
Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways.
24 Alaila ua hoounaia mai, mai ona mai ka hapa o ka lima; a ua kakauia keia palapala.
Therefore He sent the hand that wrote the inscription.
25 Eia ka palapala i kakauia: MENE, MENE, TEKELA, UPARESINA.
Now this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN.
26 A eia ke ano o ia mea: MENE, Ua helu mai ke Akua i kou aupuni ana, a ua hoopau ia hoi.
And this is the interpretation of the message: MENE means that God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
27 TEKELA; ua kaupaonaia oe ma ka mea kaupaona, a ua ikeia kou mama ana.
TEKEL means that you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.
28 PERESA; ua maheleia kou aupuni, a ua haawiia'ku, no ka poe Media a me ka poe Peresia.
PERES means that your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”
29 Alaila kauoha aku la o Belehazara, a hoaahu lakou ia Daniela i ke kapa ulaula, a kau lakou i lei gula ma kona a-i, a kauoha no hoi oia nona, i lilo ai ia i ke kolu o na'lii ma ke aupuni.
Then Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel in purple, placed a gold chain around his neck, and proclaimed him the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
30 Ia po no pepehiia iho la a make o Belehazara ke alii o ka poe Kaledea.
That very night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans was slain,
31 A lilo ke aupuni ia Dariu i ka Media, he kanaono kumamalua ona mau makahiki.
and Darius the Mede received the kingdom at the age of sixty-two.
