< Daniela 6 >

1 HE mea pono i ka manao o Dariu e hoonoho maluna o ke aupuni i na alii he haneri a me ka iwakalua, e alii ai lakou maluna o ke aupuni a pau;
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty local governors, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
2 A maluna o lakou i ekolu luna, o Daniela ka mua o lakou: i hoike mai keia mau alii i ka lakou mau mea i keia poe, i ole ai e poho ke alii i kekahi mea.
and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, that these local governors might give account to them, and that the king should suffer no loss.
3 Alaila, ua hookiekieia o Daniela maluna o na luna a me na'lii, no ka mea, aia iloko ona he naau maikai loa; a manao iho la ke alii e hoonoho ia ia maluna o ke aupuni a pau loa.
Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the local governors, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 No ia mea, imi na luna me na'lii i ka hewa iloko o Daniela ma na mea o ke aupuni: aole nae i loaa ka hala a me ka hewa; no ka mea, ua kupono kana, aole i loaa iloko ona kekahi mea kekee a me ka hewa.
Then the presidents and the local governors sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion or fault, because he was faithful. There was not any error or fault found in him.
5 Olelo ae la ua poe la, Aole e loaa ia kakou kekahi hewa iloko o ua Daniela nei, i ole kakou e imi hala ma na mea e pili ana i ke kanawai o kona Akua.
Then these men said, “We will not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.”
6 Alaila hoakoakoa ae la ua poe luna la, a me na alii imua o ke alii, a olelo aku la ia ia, E Dariu, e ke alii e, e ola mau loa oe.
Then these presidents and local governors assembled together to the king, and said this to him, “King Darius, live forever!
7 Ua kukakuka pu na luna o ke aupuni, na kiaaina, a me na'lii, na kakaolelo, a me na luna koa, e kau i kanawai aupuni, i lilo ia i olelo paa, o ka mea e noi aku i kekahi akua, a i kekahi kanaka e paha, aole ia oe, e ke alii, a hala na la he kanakolu, e hooleiia aku ia iloko o ka lua liona.
All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the local governors, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a strong decree, that whoever asks a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 Ano, e ke alii e, e hana oe i olelo paa, a e kakau oe i kou inoa ma ua palapala la, i ole e hoololi ia, ma ko ke kanawai o ko Media a me ko Peresia, he mea luli ole.
Now, O king, establish the decree and sign the writing, that it not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter.”
9 No ia mea, kakau iho la o Dariu ke alii i kona inoa ma ka palapala o ua kanawai la.
Therefore King Darius signed the writing and the decree.
10 A ike iho la o Daniela, ua kau ka inoa ma ua palapala la, komo iho la oia iloko o kona hale; a ua hamama kekahi mau puka makani o kona keena maluna, ma ka aoao e ku pono ana i Ierusalema, kukuli iho la oia ma kona kuli, ekolu manawa i ka la hookahi, pule aku la, a hoomaikai aku la imua o kona Akua, e like me ia mamua.
When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his room toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did before.
11 Akoakoa ae la ua mau kanaka la, a loaa ia lakou o Daniela e pule ana, a e noi ana imua o kona Akua.
Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
12 Alaila hookokoke aku la lakou, a olelo aku imua o ke alii, no ko ke alii kanawai; Aole anei oe i kau i kou inoa ma ke kanawai, o ka mea i noi aku i kekahi akua, a i ke kahi kanaka e paha, aole ia oe, e ke alii, a hala na la he kanakolu, e hooleiia'ku oia iloko o ka lua liona? Hai mai la ke alii, i mai, He oiaio no ia, ma ko ke kanawai o ko Media, a me ko Peresia poe, ka mea i luli ole.
Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king’s decree: “Have not you signed a decree that every man who makes a petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?” The king answered, “This thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter.”
13 Olelo aku lakou imua o ke alii, i aku la, O Danila, ka mea no ko Iuda poe pio, aole ia i manao ia oe, e ke alii, aole hoi i ke kanawai au i kau iho ai i kou iuoa, aka, ua noi aku oia ekolu pule ana i ka la hookahi.
Then they answered and said before the king, “That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, does not respect you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.”
14 A lohe ke alii i keia olelo, huhu loa oia ia ia iho, a kau iho la i kona manao maluna o Daniela e hoopakele ia ia; a imi nui iho la ia a napo ka la i mea e hoopakele ia ia.
Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored until the going down of the sun to rescue him.
15 Alaila akoakoa hou ae la ua poe kanaka la imua o ke alii, olelo aku la lakou i ke alii, i aku, E ike oe, e ke alii, o ke kanawai o ko Media, a me ko Peresia, peneia, aole e hoololiia kekahi olelo paa, a me ke kanawai a ke alii e kau iho ai.
Then these men assembled together to the king, and said to the king, “Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no decree nor statute which the king establishes may be changed.”
16 A kauoha ae la ke alii, a ua laweia mai o Daniela, a hooleiia iho la oia iloko o ka lua liona. Olelo mai la ke alii ia Daniela, i mai la, O kou Akua, ka mea au i hoomana mau ai, e hoopakele no oia ia oe.
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.”
17 Ua laweia no hoi he pohaku, a ua kauia maluna o ka puka o ua lua la; a hoailona ke alii ia mea me kona hoailona, a me ka hoailona o kona mau alii, i hookahuli ole ia ka manao ia Daniela.
A stone was brought, and laid on the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
18 A i ko ke alii hoi ana i kona halealii, noho iho la oia ia po me ka ai ole i ka ai; aole hoi i laweia kana mau haiawahine imua ona, aole hoi oia i hiamoe iki.
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting. No musical instruments were brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.
19 A ala ae la ke alii iluna i kakahiaka nui, a hele wikiwiki aku la ma ia lua liona.
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
20 A kokoke ia i ka lua, hea aku la ia me ka leo kaniuhu ia Daniela; kahea aku ke alii ia Daniela, i aku la, E Daniela, e ke kauwa a ke Akua ola, ua hiki anei i kou Akua, ka mea au i hookauwa mau aku ai, ke hoopakele ia oe mai na liona ae?
When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?”
21 I mai la o Daniela i ke alii, E ke alii, e ola mau loa oe.
Then Daniel said to the king, “O king, live forever!
22 Ua hoouna mai ko'u Akua i kona anela e hoopaa mai i ka waha o na liona, i ole e hoeha mai lakou ia'u; no ka mea, imua ona aole hala iloko o'u, aole no hoi au i hana ino aku ia oe, e ke alii.
My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me, because innocence was found in me before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”
23 Alaila, hauoli nui ke alii no Daniela, a kena aku la e huki ia ia mailoko mai o ka lua. A na hukiia o Daniela mailoko mai o ka lua, aole wahi eha i loaa ia ia, no ka mea, ua paulele aku no ia i kona Akua.
Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
24 A kena aku la ke alii alakai mai i ka poe nana i niania wale aku ia Daniela, a e hoolei ia lakou iloko o ka lua liona, o lakou a me ka lakou mau keiki, a me ka lakou mau wahine; a lanakila na liona maluna o lakou, a ua hakihaki liilii loa ia ko lakou mau iwi mamua o ko lakou hiki ana ilalo o ka lua.
The king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions—them, their children, and their wives; and the lions mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they came to the bottom of the den.
25 Alaila, palapala aku la o Dariu ke alii i na lahuikanaka a pau, me ko na aina, a me na olelo e, ka poe i noho ma ka honua a puni; E mahuahuaia mai ko oukou maluhia.
Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages who dwell in all the earth: “Peace be multiplied to you.
26 Ke kau nei au i olelo paa, i haalulu na kanaka ma na aina a pau o ko'u aupuni, i makau hoi imua o ke Akua o Daniela; no ka mea, oia ke Akua ola, ua paa mau loa ia, a o kona aupuni, oia ka mea e anai ole ia, a o kona alii ana, e mau loa ana ia.
“I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. “For he is the living God, and steadfast forever. His kingdom is that which will not be destroyed. His dominion will be even to the end.
27 Ke hoopakele mai nei oia, a hoola mai no hoi, ke hana mai nei oia i na hana mana, a me na mea kupaianaha ma ka lani a ma ka honua, oia ka i hoopakele mai ia Daniela mai ka ikaika o na liona mai.
He delivers and rescues. He works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”
28 Pela i noho maluhia ai o Daniela i ke au ia Dariu, a i ke au ia Kuro o ka Peresia.
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
