Daniela 8
1 I KA makahiki ekolu o ke au ia Belehazara ke alii, ua hoikeia mai ia'u ia Daniela nei, ka hihio mahope iho o ka mea i hoikeia mai ia'u mamua.
In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign I, Daniel, saw another vision after the one I had seen previously.
2 Ua ike au ma ka hihio ana; a i kuu ike ana, ma ka pakaua no au ia wa, ma Susana, ma ka aina o Elama; a ike aku la au ma kuu hihio ana, aia no au ma ka muliwai o Ulai.
In my vision I looked around and saw I was in the castle at Susa in the province of Elam. In the vision I was beside the River Ulai.
3 Alaila, leha ae la ko'u mau maka, a ike aku la au, aia hoi, he hipa kane e ku ana ma kapa o ka muliwai nona na pepeiaohao elua; ua kiekie kona mau pepeiaohao; ua oi aku uae ke kiekie o kekahi i ko kekahi, a o ka mea kiekie oia ka mea i ulu hope ae.
I looked around and saw a ram standing beside the river. It had two long horns, one longer than the other, even though the longer one had grown last.
4 Ike aku la no hoi au i ua hipa kane la e hookui ana ma ke komohana, a me ke kukulu akau, a me ke kukulu hema; i ole e hiki i kekahi holoholona ke ku imua ona, aole nae i hiki i kekahi ko hoopakele ae mai kona lima aku; aka, hana iho la oia mamuli o kona makemake iho a lilo no ia i mea nui.
I watched the ram charging west, north, and south. No animal could stand up to it—nor was there any chance of rescue from its power. It did whatever it wanted and grew powerful.
5 A i ko'u noonoo aia, aia hoi, he kao kane, holo mai la ia mai ke komohana mai, maluna o ka honua a pau, aole ia e paa iki ma ka lepo; a o ua kao kane la he pepeiaohao nui mawaenakonu o kona mau maka.
As I was thinking about what I'd seen, a male goat came in from the west, racing in across the surface of the earth so fast it didn't touch the ground. It had a large, prominent horn between its eyes.
6 A hele mai la ia i ka hipakane nona ua mau pepeiaohao la elua, ka mea a'u i ike ai e ku ana ma ka muliwai, a holo aku la io na la, me ka huhu ikaika.
It approached the ram with the two horns which I had seen standing beside the river, rushing in to attack in a furious rage.
7 A i ko'u ike ana ia ia, hookokoke ia i ka hipakane, ua wela kona huhu ia ia, a kui ikaika aku la oia i ka hipakane, a haihaiia kona mau pepeiaohao; aole ikaika iloko O ka hipakane e ku imua ona, aka, hoolei oia ia ia ilalo i ka lepo, a hehi iho la ia maluna ona; aohe mea nana e hoopakele i ka hipakane mai kona lima aku.
I watched as the goat charged furiously at the ram, hitting it and breaking off its two horns. The ram did not have the strength to resist the goat's attack. The goat threw the ram to the ground, trampling on it, and there was no possibility of rescuing it from the goat's power.
8 No ia mea, mahuahua loa ka ikaika o ua kao kane la; a i kona wa i ikaika loa ai, ua uhaiia kona pepeiaohao nui; a ua paniia no hoi Kona hakahaka i na pepeiaohao nui eha, e ku pono ana i na makani eha o ka lani.
The goat grew very powerful, but at the height of its power its large horn was broken off. In its place four large horns came up, pointing to the four winds of heaven.
9 Kupu mai la no hoi kekahi pepeiaohao liilii noloko mai o kekahi o lakou, a lilo ia i mea nui loa ma ke kukulu hema, a ma ka hikina, a ma ka aina oluolu.
A little horn came up from one of them, and grew extremely powerful to the south and to the east and to the Beautiful Land.
10 A haanui oia ia ia iho i ka Puali o ka lani; a hoohina i kekahi o ka puali, a me na hoku ilalo i ka honua, a hehi iho la maluna o lakou.
It grew in power until it reached the heavenly army, throwing some of them and some of the stars down to the earth and trampled on them.
11 Oia, haanui oia ia ia iho i ka luna o ka poe puali, a hoopau oia i ka mohai o na la, o ka wahi hoano kekahi, ua hooleiia ilalo.
It even tried to make itself as great as the Prince of the heavenly army—it removed the continual service, and the place of his sanctuary was destroyed.
12 A ua haawiia mai ia ia kekahi poe e ku e i ua mau mohai la no ka hala, a ua hoolei oia i ka mea oiaio ilalo i ka honua; a hana aku la oia, a lanakila.
An army of people and the continual service were handed over to it because of rebellion, and it overthrew truth, and it was successful in everything it did.
13 Alaila, lohe aku la au i kekahi haipule e olelo ana, a i aku kekahi haipule e i ua haipule la e olelo ana, Pehea ka loihi o ka hihio no ka mohai o na la, a no ka mea ino e hooneoneo ai, no ka haawi ana i kahi hoano a me ka puali, e hehiia malalo iho o ka wawae?
Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one asked the one who was speaking, “How long is this vision for—the removal of the continual service, the rebellion that causes devastation, the handing over of the sanctuary and the army of people to be trampled down?”
14 A i mai la ia ia'u, A hala na la elua tausani ekolu haneri; alaila e hoomaemae ia kahi hoano.
He replied, “For two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings, then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”
15 Eia kekahi, i ka wa a'u a Daniela nei i ike ai ma ka hihio, a imi au i ke ano, alaila, aia hoi, ku mai la kekahi mea imua o'u, ua like kona ano me ko ke kanaka.
As I, Daniel, tried to work out what this vision meant suddenly I saw someone who looked like a man standing in front of me.
16 A lohe aku la au i ka leo kanaka ma Ulai e kahea ana, i ae la, E Gaberiela e, e hoakaka ae oe i na mea i ikeia ma ka hihio, i keia kanaka.
I also heard a human voice calling from the River Ulai, “Gabriel, explain to this man the meaning of the vision.”
17 Alaila, hookokoke mai oia i kahi a'u i ku ai, a i kona hiki ana mai, makau iho la au, a haule iho ilalo ko'u maka: aka, i mai la oia ia'u, E ike pono oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka; no ka mea, no ka manawa mahope keia hihio.
As he approached me, I was terrified and fell face down before him. “Son of man,” he told me, “You need to understand that this vision refers to the time of the end.”
18 A i kana olelo ana mai ia'u, ua moe loa iho la au ilalo ko'u maka i ka honua: aka, hoopa mai oia ia'u, a hoala ae ia'u iluna.
As he spoke to me I lost consciousness as I laid face down on the ground. But he took hold of me and helped me to my feet.
19 I mai oia ia'u, Aia hoi, e hoakaka au ia oe i ka mea e hiki mai ana ma ka manawa hope o ka huhu ana; no ka mea, no ka wa mahope keia hihio.
He told me, “Pay attention! I'm going to explain to you what's going to happen during the time of anger, which refers to the appointed time of the end.
20 O ka hipakane au i ike ai nona na pepeiaohao elua, he mau alii laua o Media, a me Peresia.
The ram with two horns that you saw symbolizes the kings of Media and Persia.
21 A o ua kao kane huluhulu la, oia ke alii o Helene; a o ua pepeiaohao nui la mawaenakonu o kona mau maka, oia ke alii mua.
The male goat is the kingdom of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is its first king.
22 A o ka haihai ana o ia mea, a kupu mai na mea eha e pani i kona hakahaka, pela no e ku mai ai na aupuni eha mai loko mai o keia lahuikanaka, aka, aole nae e like me kona ikaika.
The four horns that came up in place of the large horn that was broken represent the four kingdoms that arose from that nation, but not as powerful as the first.
23 A i ka hope o ko lakou aupuni, i ka manawa i piha ai ko lakou hewa, e ku mai kekahi alii, he maka hihiu kona, he mea ike i na olelo pohihihi.
When those kingdoms come to an end, when their sins have reached their fullest extent, a ferocious and treacherous kingdom will rise to power.
24 A e nui auanei kona ikaika, aole nae ma kona ikaika iho; a e luku loa aku ia, a lanakila hoi; e hana aku ia, a e pepehi no hoi ia i ka poe ikaika, a me ka poe haipule.
It will become very powerful but not by its own power. It will be terribly destructive, and will succeed in everything it does. It will destroy great leaders and God's dedicated people.
25 A ma kona maalea hoi, e hoolanakila oia i ka hana maalea a kona lima; e hookiekie oia ia ia iho iloko o kona naau, a i ka wa maluhia, e luku aku ia i na lehulehu; a e ku e no hoi ia i ke Alii o na'lii; aka, e okaoka liilii no ia me ka lima ole.
Through its deviousness, its lies will be convincing and successful. It shows its arrogance both in thought and action, destroying those who thought they were perfectly safe. It even fights in opposition against the Prince of princes, but it will be defeated, though not by any human power.
26 A o ka hihio no ke ahiahi a me ke kakahiaka, ka mea i haiia mai, he oiaio no ia; no ia mea, e pani oe i ua hihio la; no ka mea, no na la he nui loa ia.
The vision about the evenings and mornings that has been explained to you is true, but for now seal up this vision because it refers to the distant future.”
27 Owau, o Daniela nei, ua maule iho la au, a ua mai hoi i kekahi mau la. Mahope iho, ku ae la au iluna, a hana ae la i ka hana a ke alii; a kahaha nui iho la ko'u naau i ua hihio la, aka, aohe mea nana i ike.
After this, I, Daniel, became exhausted, and I was sick for days. Then I got up and went back to working for the king, but I was devastated at what I'd seen in vision and I couldn't understand it.
