< Joel 2 >
1 Sound the trumpet in Sion, make a proclamation in my holy mountain, and let all the inhabitants of the land be confounded: for the day of the Lord is near;
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 for a day of darkness and gloominess is near, a day of cloud and mist: a numerous and strong people shall be spread upon the mountains as the morning; there has not been from the beginning one like it, and after it there shall not be again 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 Before them is a consuming fire, and behind them is a flame kindled: the land before them is as a paradise of delight, and behind them a desolate plain: and there shall none of them escape.
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 Their appearance is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they pursue.
Like me ka helehelena lio, pela kona helehelena; A me na hoohololio, pela lakou e holo ai.
5 As the sound of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, and as the sound of a flame of fire devouring stubble, and as a numerous and strong people setting themselves in array for battle.
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 Before them shall the people be crushed: every face [shall be] as the blackness of a cauldron.
E haalulu na kanaka imua o lakou: A keokeo na maka a pau i ka makau.
7 As warriors shall they run, and as men of war shall they mount on the walls; and each shall move in his [right] path, and they shall not turn aside from their tracks:
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 and not one shall stand aloof from his brother: they shall go on weighed down with their arms, and they fall upon their weapons, yet shall they in no wise be destroyed.
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 shall seize upon the city, and run upon the walls, and go up upon the houses, and enter in through the windows as thieves.
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 Before them the earth shall be confounded, and the sky shall be shaken: the sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.
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 the Lord shall utter his voice before his host: for his camp is very great: for the execution of his words is mighty: for the day of the Lord is great, very glorious, and who shall be able to [resist] 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 Now therefore, says the Lord your God, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with lamentation:
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 hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for he is merciful and compassionate, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy, and repents of evils.
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 if he will return, and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meat-offering and a drink-offering to the Lord 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 Sound the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, proclaim a [solemn] service:
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 congregation, assemble the elders, gather the infants at the breast: let the bridegroom go forth of 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 Between the porch and the altar let the priests that minister to the Lord weep, and say, Spare your people, O Lord, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them, lest they should say amongst the heathen, 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 But the Lord was jealous of his land, and spared his people.
Alaila, e lili mai o Iehova no kona aina, A e aloha mai i kona poe kanaka.
19 And the Lord answered and said to his people, Behold, I [will] send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with them: and I will no longer make you a reproach amongst the Gentiles.
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 And I will chase away from you the northern [adversary], and will drive him away into a dry land, and I will sink his face in the former sea, and his back parts in the latter sea, and his ill savour shall come up, and his stink come up, because he has wrought 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 Be of good courage, O land; rejoice and be glad: for the Lord 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 of good courage, you beasts of the plain, for the plains of the wilderness have budded, for the trees have borne their fruit, the fig tree and the vine have yielded 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 Rejoice then and be glad, you children of Sion, in the Lord your God: for he has given you food fully, and he will rain on you the early and the latter rain, as before.
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 filled with corn, and the presses shall overflow with 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 recompense you for the years which the locust, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, and the cankerworm have eaten, [even] my great army, which I sent against 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 you shall eat abundantly, and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of the Lord your God [for the things] which he has wrought wonderfully with you: and my people shall not be ashamed for ever.
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 you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and [that] I am the Lord your God, and [that] there is none else beside me; and my people shall no more be ashamed for ever.
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 of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your old men shall dream dreams, and 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 on my servants and on [my] handmaids in those days will I pour out of my Spirit.
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 heaven, and upon the earth, blood, and fire, and vapour 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 glorious day of the Lord come.
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 the Lord shall be saved: for in mount Sion and in Jerusalem shall the saved one be as the Lord has said, and they that have glad tidings preached to them, whom the Lord has called.
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.
