< 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.
Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his noblemen, and he drank wine in front of all one thousand of 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.
While Belshazzar tasted the wine, he gave orders to bring the containers made of gold or silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem, from which he, his noblemen, and his wives and concubines could drink.
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:
The servants brought the gold containers that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God, in Jerusalem. The king, his noblemen, and 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.
They drank the wine and praised their idols made of gold and 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.
At that moment the fingers of a human hand appeared in front of the lampstand and wrote on the plaster wall in the king's palace. The king could see part of 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.
Then the king's face changed and his thoughts frightened him; his limbs could not support him, and his knees were knocking 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 a command to bring in those who claimed to speak with the dead, wise men, and astrologers. The king said to those known for their wisdom in Babylon, “Whoever explains this writing and its meaning will be clothed with purple and will have a gold chain around his neck. He will have the authority of 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.
Then all the king's men who were known for their wisdom came in, but they could not read the writing or explain its meaning to the king.
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 was greatly alarmed and the look on his face changed. His noblemen were perplexed.
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:
Now the queen came into the banquet house because of what the king and his nobles had said. The queen said, “King, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you. Do not let the look on your face change.
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 the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods was found in him. King Nebuchadnezzar, your father the king, made him chief of the magicians, as well as chief of those who speak with the dead, of the wise men, and of the astrologers.
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.
An excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting of dreams, explaining riddles and solving problems—these qualities were found in this man Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now call for Daniel and he will tell you the meaning of what has been written.”
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?
Then Daniel was brought before the king. The king said to him, “You are that Daniel, one of the people of the exiles of Judah, whom my father the king brought out of 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 light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.
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 men known for wisdom and those who claim to speak with the dead have been brought in before me to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, but they could not make known the interpretation of it.
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.
I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems. Now if you can read the writing and tell me its meaning, you will be clothed with purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will have the authority of 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.
Then Daniel answered before the king, “Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another person. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to you, king, and will tell you the meaning.
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, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, greatness, honor, 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 greatness God gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared him. He put to death those he wanted to die, and he kept alive those he wished to live. He raised up those he wanted, and he humbled those 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 was arrogant and his spirit was hardened so that he acted presumptuously, he was brought down from his kingly throne, and they took away his majesty.
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 humanity, he had the mind of an animal, and he lived with the wild donkeys. He ate grass like an ox. His body was wet with the dew from the heavens until he learned that the Most High God rules over the kingdoms of people and that he sets over them anyone 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;
You his son, 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.
You have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. From his house they brought you the containers that you, your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from, and you praised the idols made of silver and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone—idols that do not see, hear, or know anything. You have not honored the God who holds your breath in his hand and who knows all your ways.
24 Alaila ua hoounaia mai, mai ona mai ka hapa o ka lima; a ua kakauia keia palapala.
Then God sent out a hand from his presence and this writing was done.
25 Eia ka palapala i kakauia: MENE, MENE, TEKELA, UPARESINA.
This is the writing that was done: 'Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Pharsin.'
26 A eia ke ano o ia mea: MENE, Ua helu mai ke Akua i kou aupuni ana, a ua hoopau ia hoi.
This is its meaning: 'Mene,' 'God has numbered your kingdom and brought it to an end.'
27 TEKELA; ua kaupaonaia oe ma ka mea kaupaona, a ua ikeia kou mama ana.
'Tekel,' 'you are weighed in the scales and are found lacking.'
28 PERESA; ua maheleia kou aupuni, a ua haawiia'ku, no ka poe Media a me ka poe Peresia.
'Peres,' 'your kingdom is divided and is given 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 a command, and they clothed Daniel with purple. A chain of gold was put around his neck, and the king made a proclamation about him that he would have the authority of 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 night Belshazzar, the Babylonian king, was killed,
31 A lilo ke aupuni ia Dariu i ka Media, he kanaono kumamalua ona mau makahiki.
and Darius the Mede received the kingdom when he was about sixty-two years old.
