Joel 1
1 The word of Jehovah that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
O KA olelo a Iehova ia Ioela ke keiki a Petuela.
2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Has this been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
E hoolohe oukou i keia, e ka poe kahiko, E haliu mai ka pepeiao, e ka poe a pau o ka aina e noho ana; Ua hiki mai anei keia i ko oukou mau la, A i na la hoi o ko oukou mau makua?
3 Tell ye your sons of it, and let your sons tell their sons, and their sons another generation.
E hai aku oukou i keia i ka oukou poe keiki, A o ka oukou mau keiki i ka lakou poe keiki, A o ka lakou mau keiki i ka hanauna mahope.
4 That which the palmer-worm has left the locust has eaten, and that which the locust has left the canker-worm has eaten, and that which the canker-worm has left the caterpillar has eaten.
O ka mea i koe i ka uhini hulu ole, ua pau ia i ka uhini: A o ka mea i koe i ka uhini, ua pau ia i ka uhini huluhulu, A o ka mea i koe i ka uhini huluhulu, ua pau ia i ka uhini hulu ole.
5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep, and wail, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it is cut off from your mouth.
E ala oukou, e na mea on a, a e uwe iho; E aoa hoi, e na mea inu waina a pau, no ka waina hou, No ka mea, ua laweia'ku ia mai ko oukou waha aku.
6 For a nation has come up upon my land, strong, and without number. His teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the jaw-teeth of a lioness.
No ka mea, ua hele mai ka lahuikanaka maluna o ko'u aina, he ikaika, aole e pau i ka helu, O kona mau niho, he niho o ka liona; A o kona niho aoao, he niho o ka liona wahine.
7 He has laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree. He has made it clean bare, and cast it away. The branches of it are made white.
Ua luku aku ia i kuu kumuwaina, A ua hemo i ka ili o kuu laau fiku: Ua hemo i kona ili a pau, a ua hoolei aku ia mea; Ua keokeo kona mau lala.
8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
E uwe iho e like me ka wahine mare i kaeiia i ke kapa inoino no ke kane o kona wa opiopio.
9 The meal offering and the drink offering are cut off from the house of Jehovah. The priests, Jehovah's ministers, mourn.
Ua okiia ka mohai makana, a me ka mohai inu mai ka hale o Iehova aku; Ua uwe na kahuna, na lawehana a Iehova.
10 The field is laid waste; the land mourns. For the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the oil languishes.
Ua lukuia ka mahinaai, Ua uwe ka aina, No ka mea, ua lukuia ka ai, Ua maloo ka waina hou, ua emi iho ka aila.
11 Be confounded, O ye husbandmen. Wail, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley, for the harvest of the field is perished.
E hilahila oukou, e na mahiai; E aoa oukou, e na mahiwaina, no ka huapalaoa, a no ka bale; No ka mea, ua nele ka ohi ai ana o ka mahinaai.
12 The vine is withered, and the fig tree languishes. The pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field are withered. For joy has withered away from the sons of men.
Ua maloo ke kumuwaina, Ua mae ka laau fiku; Ua mae ka laau pomagerane, o ka laau pama, a me ka laau ohia, o na laau a pau o ke kula: No ka mea, ua pau ka olioli o na keiki a kanaka;
13 Gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament, ye priests. Wail, ye ministers of the altar. Come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God. For the meal offering and the drink offering are withheld from the house of your God.
E kaei ia oukou iho, a e kanikau, e na kahuna: E aoa oukou, e na lawehana o ke kuahu: E hele mai, e noho a ao ka po iloko o ke kapa inoino, e na lawehana a kuu Akua: No ka mea, ua hookiia ka mohai makana, a me ka mohai inu mai ka hale aku o ko oukou Akua.
14 Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly. Gather the old men and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of Jehovah your God, and cry to Jehovah.
E hoolaa i ka hookeai ana, E kahea aku i ka halawai, E hoakoakoa i ka poe kahiko, I na kanaka a pau o ka aina, ma ka hale o Iehova ko oukou Akua, A e hea aku ia Iehova.
15 Alas for the day! For the day of Jehovah is at hand, and it shall come as destruction from the Almighty.
Auwe no ka la! No ka mea, ua kokoke mai ka la o Iehova, A me he make la e hiki mai ai ia mai ka Mea mana mai.
16 Is not the food cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
Aole anei i okiia ka ai imua o ko kakou maka? O ka olioli a me ka hauoli mai ka hale aku o ko kakou Akua?
17 The seeds rot under their clods. The garners are laid desolate. The barns are broken down. For the grain is withered.
Ua popopo na hua malalo iho o ko lakou lepo, Ua wawahiia na hale papaa, Ua hoohioloia na hale ai; No ka mea, ua maloo ka ai.
18 How do the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed because they have no pasture, yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
Nani ka u ana o na holoholona! Ua pilikia na kumu bipi, No ka mea, aohe ai na lakou; Ua hoopauia hoi na kumu hipa.
19 O Jehovah, to thee do I cry. For the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the field.
E Iehova, ia oe no wau e kahea aku nei, No ka mea, ua ai ke ahi i ka uliuli o ka waonahele, Ua hoopau ka lapalapa ahi i na laau a pau o ke kula.
20 Yea, the beasts of the field pant to thee, for the water brooks are dried up, and the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
Ke auwe aku nei na holoholona o ke kula ia oe; No ka mea, ua maloo na wai o na kahawai, A ua pau i ke ahi ka uliuli o ka waonahele.
