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.
King Belshazzar held a great feast for one thousand of his nobles, and he was drinking 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 wine's influence Belshazzar ordered his servants to bring in the cups and bowls of gold and silver his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem so that he and his nobles, his wives and concubines, could drink from them.
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:
So they brought in the gold cups and bowls that had been taken from the Temple of God in Jerusalem. The king and his nobles, his wives and concubines, drank from them.
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 wine they praised their gods—idols made of gold, silver, bronze, 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.
Immediately the fingers of a human hand appeared, writing on the plaster wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand. The king watched the hand as it wrote.
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 turned pale, and he became very frightened. His legs 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 shouted, “Bring in the enchanters and astrologers and diviners!” He told these wise men of Babylon, “Anyone who can read this writing and explain it to me will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will become 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.
However, after all the king's wise men had come in, they could not read the writing or explain to him what it meant.
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.
This made King Belshazzar even more frightened and his face grew even paler. His nobles also were in panic.
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:
When the queen mother heard the noise the king and the nobles were making she went to the banquet hall. She said to Belshazzar, “May Your Majesty the king live forever! Don't be frightened! Don't look so 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's a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In your father's time he was found to have understanding and insight, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your Majesty's father, King Nebuchadnezzar put him in charge of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners. Your father did this
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.
because Daniel, (called Belteshazzar by the king) was found to have an excellent mind, full of understanding and insight, and also able to interpret dreams, explain mysteries, and solve difficult problems. Call Daniel in and let him explain what this means to you.”
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 in before the king. The king asked him, “Are you Daniel, one of the prisoners 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 about you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that you were found to have understanding, insight, and great 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.
Just now the wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this writing and explain it to me, but they weren't able to do so—they couldn't tell me what it meant.
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.
However, I'm told that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. If you can read this writing and explain it to me, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will become 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.
Daniel answered the king, “Keep your gifts and give your rewards to another. Even so I will read the writing to Your Majesty and explain to you what it means.
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;
Your Majesty, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar this kingdom, and power, glory, and majesty.
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 power he gave him, people of every nation and language trembled with fear before him. Those he wished to kill were killed, and those he wished to live were allowed to live. Those he wanted to honor were honored, and those he wanted to humble were humbled.
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 he became arrogant and hard-hearted, acting proudly, he was removed from his royal throne and his glory was taken away 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 human society and his mind became like that of an animal. He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like cattle, and he was soaked with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High rules over human kingdoms, and that he gives them to whoever he chooses.
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, Belshazzar, his son, have not humbled yourself, 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.
You have arrogantly defied the Lord of heaven and you had the cups and bowls of his Temple brought to you. You and your nobles, your wives and concubines, drank wine from them as you praised gods made of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone that can't see or hear or know anything. But you have not honored God who holds in his hand your very breath and everything you do.
24 Alaila ua hoounaia mai, mai ona mai ka hapa o ka lima; a ua kakauia keia palapala.
That's why he sent the hand to write this message.
25 Eia ka palapala i kakauia: MENE, MENE, TEKELA, UPARESINA.
What was written on the wall was this: ‘Number, number, weigh, divide.’
26 A eia ke ano o ia mea: MENE, Ua helu mai ke Akua i kou aupuni ana, a ua hoopau ia hoi.
Here is the meaning: Number—God has numbered your reign and brought it to an end.
27 TEKELA; ua kaupaonaia oe ma ka mea kaupaona, a ua ikeia kou mama ana.
Weighed—you have been weighed on the balances and you were found lacking.
28 PERESA; ua maheleia kou aupuni, a ua haawiia'ku, no ka poe Media a me ka poe Peresia.
Divided—your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and the 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 order and Daniel was clothed in purple and had a gold chain placed around his neck. He was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
30 Ia po no pepehiia iho la a make o Belehazara ke alii o ka poe Kaledea.
On that very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was killed
31 A lilo ke aupuni ia Dariu i ka Media, he kanaono kumamalua ona mau makahiki.
and Darius the Mede was given the kingdom at the age of sixty-two.
