< Joel 2 >

1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble. For the day of Jehovah comes, for it is near at hand,
E PUHI oukou i ka pu ma Ziona, A e hookani i ka puwaikana ma kuu mauna hoano: E haalulu na kanaka a pau o ka aina: No ka mea, e hiki mai ana ka la o Iehova, Oia hoi, ua kokoke mai.
2 a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spreads upon the mountains, a great people and a strong, there has not ever been the like, nor shall be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.
He la pouli, a me ka popilikia, He la naulu a me ka pouli nui, E like me ka hohola ana o ke kakahiaka maluna o na mauna; He lahuikanaka nui, a me ka ikaika; Aole me keia mai ka wa kahiko mai, Aole hoi e like hou me ia mahope, I na makahiki o na hanauna he nui.
3 A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness. Yea, and none has escaped them.
E ai ana ke ahi imua ona, A mahope ona, he lapalapa e hoopau ana. Me ka mala o Edena, pela ka aina mamua ona; A mahope ona, me he waoakua la; Aole hoi e pakele kekahi mea ia ia.
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, and as horsemen, so do they run.
Like me ka helehelena lio, pela kona helehelena; A me na hoohololio, pela lakou e holo ai.
5 They leap like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
Like me ka halulu o na halekaa maluna o na piko o na mauna, pela lakou e lele ai, Me ka halulu o ka lapalapa ahi e hoopau ana i ka nahelehele, Like me ka lahuikanaka ikaika i hoomakaukau e kaua aku.
6 At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces have grown pale.
E haalulu na kanaka imua o lakou: A keokeo na maka a pau i ka makau.
7 They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like men of war, and they march each one on his ways. And they do not break their ranks.
E like me na kanaka ikaika e holo lakou: Like me na kanaka kaua e pii lakou i ka pa; E hele kela mea keia mea o lakou ma kona ala, Aole lakou e kapae ae i ko lakou hele ana;
8 Neither does one push another. They march each one in his path, and they burst through the weapons, and do not break off.
Aole kekahi e hooke i kekahi; E hele no kela mea keia mea ma kona ala; A ina e lele aku lakou i ka pahikaua, aole lakou e eha.
9 They leap upon the city. They run upon the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like a thief.
E hele lakou i o i o ma ke kulanakauhale, E holo lakou maluna o ka papohaku; E pii lakou maluna a na hale; E komo lakou ma na pukamakani me he aihue la.
10 The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
E naue ka honua imua o lakou; E haalulu na lani; E pouli ka la, a me ka mahina, A e hoonalowale na hoku i ko lakou malamalama.
11 And Jehovah utters his voice before his army, for his camp is very great. For he is strong who executes his word. For the day of Jehovah is great and very fearful, and who can abide it?
A e hoopuka mai o Iehova i kona leo imua o kona kaua; No ka mea, ua nui loa kona wahi i hoomoana'i; No ka mea, ua ikaika ka mea nana e hooko i kana olelo; No ka mea, ua nui ka la o Iehova, a me ka weliweli nui; A owai la ke hoomanawanui ia mea?
12 Yet even now, says Jehovah, turn ye to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.
Ano hoi, wahi a Iehova, E hoi hou mai oukou ia'u me ko oukou naau a pau, A me ka hookeai ana, a me ka uwe ana, a me ke kanikau ana:
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn to Jehovah your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents of the evil.
A e haehae i ko oukou naau, aole i ko oukou aahu, A e huli hou ae ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua; No ka mea, he lokomaikai, a he aloha kona, Ua lohi mai ka inaina, A he aloha nui kona, A ua hoololi hou ia i ka manao hoopai.
14 Who knows whether he will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to Jehovah your God?
Malama paha e huli mai ia a e loli i ka manao, A e waiho mahope ona i ka hoomaikai ana; I ka mohai makana, a me ka mohai inu no Iehova ko oukou Akua?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion. Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly.
E puhi oukou i ka pu ma Ziona, E hoolaa i ka hookeai ana, E kahea aku i ka halawai.
16 Gather the people. Sanctify the assembly. Assemble the old men. Gather the sons, and those who suck the breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
E hoakoakoa i na kanaka; E hoomaemae i ka ahakanaka; E houluulu i ka poe kahiko; E hoakoakoa i na keiki, a me na mea omo waiu: E hele aku ke kane mare iwaho o kona keena, A me ka wahine mare iwaho o kona keena moe.
17 Let the priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Jehovah, and do not give thy heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?
Iwaena o ka lanai a me ke kuahu e auwe iho na kahuna, na lawehana a Iehova, A e olelo aku lakou, E ahonui mai, e Iehova, i kou poe kanaka, A mai haawi aku i kou hooilina i ka hoinoia mai, I noho alii ai na lahuikanaka e maluna o lakou: No ke aha la e olelo ae lakou, iwaena o na kanaka, Auhea ko lakou Akua?
18 Then Jehovah was jealous for his land, and had pity on his people.
Alaila, e lili mai o Iehova no kona aina, A e aloha mai i kona poe kanaka.
19 And Jehovah answered and said to his people, Behold, I will send you grain, and new wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith. And I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
A e olelo mai o Iehova, a e i mai i kona poe kanaka, Aia hoi, e haawi aku au i ka ai, i ka waina, a me ka aila, a e maona oukou ma ia mea: Aole au e hoolilo hou ia oukou i ka hoinoia iwaena o na lahuikanaka:
20 But I will remove the northern army far off from you, and will drive it into a land barren and desolate, its forepart into the eastern sea, and its rear part into the western sea. And its stench shall come up, and its foul odor shall come up, because it has done great things.
A e hookaawale loa aku au, mai o oukou aku, i ke kaua o ke kukulu akau. A hookuke aku ia ia i ka aina maloo, a neoneo; O kona alo ma ke kai hikina, A o kona kua ma ke kai komohana; A e pii ae kona pilau, A e pii ae kona hauna, No ka mea, ua hana hookiekie no ia.
21 Fear not, O land. Be glad and rejoice, for Jehovah has done great things.
Mai makau oe, e ka aina; E olioli, a e hauoli hoi, No ka mea, e hana mai o Iehova i na mea nui.
22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness spring, for the tree bears its fruit, the fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
Mai makau oukou, e na holoholona o ke kula: No ka mea, ke uliuli mai nei ka aina panoa; Ke hua mai nei ka laau i kona hua, Ke hua mai nei ka laau fiku a me ke kumuwaina, me ko lakou ikaika.
23 Be glad then, ye sons of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God, for he gives you the former rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first month.
O oukou, e na keiki o Ziona, e olioli, a e hauoli hoi iloko o Iehova ko oukou Akua; No ka mea, ua haawi mai ia no oukou i ke kuaua mua ma ka pono, A e hooua mai no oukou i ka ua, I ke kuaua mua, a i ke kuaua hope, e like mamua.
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
A piha na kahua hahi i ka ai, A piha loa na waihona i ka waina hou, a me ka aila.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm has eaten-my great army which I sent among you.
A e uku au ia oukou no na makahiki o na uhini i ai ai, A ka uhini huluhulu, a me ka uhini hulu ole, a me ka uhini opio hulu ole, Kuu poe kaua nui a'u i hoouna aku ai iwaena o oukou.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied. And shall praise the name of Jehovah your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never be put to shame.
A e ai oukou i ka ai a maona, A e hoolea aku i ka inoa o Iehova ko oukou Akua, Ka mea i hana kupanaha mai ia oukou; Aole loa e hilahila kuu poe kanaka.
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and there is none else. And my people shall never be put to shame.
A e ike no oukou, Owau no iwaena o ka Iseraela, A owau no o Iehova ko oukou Akua, aole mea e ae; Aole loa e hilahila kuu poe kanaka.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. Your old men shall dream dreams. Your young men shall see visions.
A i ka wa mahope, e ninini aku au i kuu Uhane maluna o na kanaka a pau; A e wanana na keikikane a oukou, a me na kaikamahine a oukou, A e moe ko oukou poe elemakule i na moe uhane, E ike ko oukou poe kanaka opio i na hihio:
29 And also I will pour out my Spirit upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days.
A maluna hoi o na kauwakane, A maluna o na kauwawahine i kela mau la, e ninini aku au i kuu Uhane.
30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
A e hoike aku au i na mea kupanaha ma ka lani, a ma ka honua; He koko, a me ke ahi, a me na kia ao uahi.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and wonderful day of Jehovah comes.
E lilo ka la i pouli, a o ka mahina i koko, mamua o ka hiki ana mai o ia la nui weliweli la o Iehova.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be saved. For in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as Jehovah has said, and among the remnant those whom Jehovah calls.
A o ka mea e kahea aku i ka inoa o Iehova, e hoopakeleia oia: No ka mea, ma ka mauna Ziona, a ma Ierusalema, ka mea hoopakele, e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai, A mawaena o ka poe i koe a Iehova o kahea aku ai.
