< Daniela 1 >

1 I KA makahiki ekolu o ke au ia Iehoiakima ke alii o Iuda, hele mai la o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona i Ierusalema, a hoopuni aku la ia wahi.
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2 A haawi aku la ke Akua iloko o kona lima ia Iehoiakima ke alii o Iuda, a me kekahi mau ipu o ka hale o ke Akua, a lawe aku la oia ia mau mea i ka aina i Sinara i ka hale o kona akua; a hookomo 'o ia i na ipu iloko o ka hale waihonawaiwai o kona akua iho.
And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god: and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.
3 Olelo aku la ke alii ia Asepenaza ka luna o ka poe i poaia, e alakai mai i kekahi o ka poe mamo a Iseraela, na keiki alii, a me na kaukaualii;
And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in [certain] of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles;
4 Na keiki kina ole, a maikai ke nana aku, a akamai ma na mea a pau i aoia mai, a he poe ike i na mea ikeia a naauao hoi ma na mea e akamai ai, ka poe i makaukau, i ku aku lakou iloko o ka hale o ke alii, i aoia mai ai lakou ma ka palapala, a me ka olelo a ka poe Kaledea.
youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
5 A kauoha ae la ke alii i ai na lakou no kela la keia la, ma ka ai a ke alii, a me ka waina ana i inu ai; i kupaluia lakou i na makahiki ekolu, a mahope e ku aku lakou imua o ke alii.
And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king’s dainties, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at the end thereof they should stand before the king.
6 Aia mawaena o lakou kekahi poe o na keiki a Iuda, o Daniela, o Hanania, o Misaela, a me Azaria.
Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
7 Kapa ae la ka luna o ka poe i poaia i mau inoa hou no lakou; kapa ae la oia i ko Daniela o Beletesaza; i ko Hanania o Saderaka; i ko Misaela o Mesaka; a me ko Azaria o Abedenego.
And the prince of the eunuchs gave names unto them: unto Daniel he gave [the name of] Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, [of] Shadrach; and to Mishael, [of] Meshach; and to Azariah, [of] Abed-nego.
8 Ua paa ko Daniela manao aole e hoohaumia ia ia iho ma ka ai a ke alii, a me ka waina ana i inu ai: a noi aku la oia i ka luna o ka poe i poaia i hoohaumia ole oia ia ia iho malaila.
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s dainties, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
9 Ua haawi mai ke Akua ia Daniela i ka lokomaikai a me ke aloha nui ia mai imua o ka luna o ka poe i poaia.
Now God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.
10 Olelo mai la ka luna o ka poe i poaia ia Daniela, Ua makau au i kuu haku i ke alii, ka mea i kauoha mae i ka oukou ai, a me ka oukou mea e inu ai. Pehea la uanei e ike mai ai ke alii i ko oukou mau maka ua inoino mamua aku o na maka o na kamalii me oukou pu? Malaila, e hoohewa ai oukou i kuu poo i ke alii.
And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? so would ye endanger my head with the king.
11 I aku la o Daniela i ke kuene, ka mea a ka luna o ka poe i poaia i hoonoho ai maluna o Daniela, a me Hanania, a me Misaela, a me Azaria.
Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
12 E hoao mai i kau mau kauwa i na la he umi, a e haawi mai oe na makou i na laauikiai e ai, a me ka wai e inu.
Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
13 Alaila e ikeia'i imua ou ko makou mau maka, a me na maka o na kamalii ka poe i ai i ka ai a ke alii; a e like me kou ike ana, pela no e hana mai ai oe i kau mau kauwa nei.
Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king’s dainties; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
14 A ao mai la no oia i ka lakou ma keia mea, a hoao iho la ia lakou i na la he umi.
So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
15 A i ka hope o ua mau la la he umi, ua ikeia ko lakou mau maka, ua maikai, ua momona ka io mamua o ko na kamalii a pau i ai i ka ai a ke alii.
And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths that did eat of the king’s dainties.
16 Alaila, lawe aku la ke kuene i ua ai la a lakou, a me ka waina i haawiia mai i mea inu, a haawi ia lakou i ka laauikiai wale no.
So the steward took away their dainties, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse.
17 A o keia mau keiki eha, haawi mai la ke Akua ia lakou i ka ike, a me ke akamai ma na mea a pau i palapalaia, a me ka naauao; a o Daniela, ua ike oia i ka hoakaka i na akaku a pau a me na moe uhane.
Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
18 A i ka pau ana o na la a ke alii i olelo ai i alakaiia mai lakou, alaila, alakai aku la ka luna o ka poe i poaia ia lakou imua o Nebukaneza.
And at the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
19 A kamailio pu ke alii me lakou; aole nae i loaa iwaena o lakou a pau kekahi mea e like me Daniela, a me Hanania, a me Misaela, a me Azaria. A ku aku la lakou imua o ke alii.
And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.
20 Ma na mea naauao a pau loa, a me na mea e akamai ai a ko alii i imi ai ia lakou, ua maopopo ia, ua oi pa umi aku ko lakou naauao mamua o na magoi a pau, a me na kilo ma kona aupuni a pau.
And in every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his realm.
21 Ola ae la o Daniela a hiki i ka makahiki mua o ko Kuro alii ana.
And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.
