Isaiah 16
1 Send the lamb of the ruler of the land from the rock to the wilderness, — unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.
E HOOKUPU oukou i keiki hipa na ke alii o ka aina, Mai Sela o ka waonahele mai, A i ka mauna o ke kaikamahine a Ziona.
2 And it shall be [that] as a wandering bird, [as] a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.
E like me ka manu lele, i kipakuia mai kona punana aku, Pela auanei na kaikamahine o Moaba, Ma na ahua o Arenona.
3 Bring in counsel, execute justice; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of noonday; hide the outcasts, discover not the fugitive.
E kuka, e hana i ka mea i pono; E hoohalike i kou aka me ka po iwaena konu o ke ao; E huna i ka poe i kipakuia, Mai kumakaia i ka mea auwana.
4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the waster. For the extortioner is at an end, the wasting hath ceased, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.
E ae aku i kuu poe i kipakuia, e Moaba, e noho me oe, I puuhonua hoi oe no lakou, mai ke alo o ka mea luku; No ka mea, e pau auanei ka hookaumaha, A e oki loa hoi ka mea luku, A me ka mea hookaumaha, mai ka aina aku.
5 And a throne shall be established in mercy: and in the tent of David there shall sit upon it, in truth, one judging and seeking justice and hastening righteousness.
Alaila, ma ka pono e hoopaaia'i ka nohoalii, A e noho no kekahi maluna o ia me ka pono, ma ka hale hoi o Davida; He lunakanawai e imi ana i ka pololei, e hooponopono koke ana no hoi.
6 We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, — [he is] very proud, — of his pride, and his arrogance, and his wrath: his pratings are vain.
Ua lohe no kakou i ka haaheo o Moaba, ka hookiekie loa: A me kona haakei a me kona hookano a me kona huhu; Aole e holo kona wahahee ana.
7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab; every one of them shall howl. For the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn, verily afflicted.
Nolaila e uwe ai o ko Moaba, No Moaba e uwe ai na mea a pau; E kaniuhu oukou no Kira Haresa, E kaumaha io no.
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the nations have broken down its choice plants: they reached unto Jaazer, they wandered [through] the wilderness; its shoots stretched out, they went beyond the sea.
No ka mea, ua mae wale na mahinaai o Hesebona, O ke kumuwaina hoi o Sibema; Ua uhai na haku o na aina i kona mau lala maikai, Hiki no lakou i Iazera, Auwana lakou ma ka waonahele: Palahalaha ae la kona mau lala, A hala i kela aoao o ke kai.
9 Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jaazer for the vine of Sibmah; with my tears will I water thee, Heshbon, and Elealeh, for a cry is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest.
Nolaila, me au i uwe ai no Iazera, Pela no wau e uwe ai no ke kumuwaina o Sibema; E hoopulu aku au ia oe i kuu waimaka, e Hesebona, a me Eleale; No ka mea, ua haule ka hooho kaua maluna o kou kau ai a me kou ohi ai ana.
10 And joy and gladness is taken away out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there is no singing, neither is there shouting: the treaders tread out no wine in the presses, I have made the cry [of the winepress] to cease.
Ua laweia'ku la ka lealea, a me ka hauoli, Mai ka mahinaai hua nui aku; Aole hooho ma na pawaina, aole hoi he hauoli: Aohe mea hahi waina ma na lua kaomi waina, Ua hooki loa aku au i ka hooho olioli ana.
11 Therefore my bowels sound like a harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirheres.
Nolaila e kani ai ko'u opu no Moaba, Me he mea kani la, A me ko'u naau hoi, no Kira-Haresa.
12 And it shall come to pass, when Moab shall appear, shall weary himself on the high place, and enter into his sanctuary to pray, that he shall not prevail.
E hiki mai auanei, a e ikeia no, Ka luhi ana o ko Moaba maluna o na wahi kiekie, E hele no oia i kona wahi kapu e nonoi ai, Aole nae e loaa.
13 This is the word which Jehovah hath spoken from of old concerning Moab.
Oia ka olelo a Iehova i olelo ai no Moaba i ka wa mamua.
14 And now Jehovah speaketh saying, Within three years, as the years of a hired servant, and the glory of Moab shall be brought to nothing, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be small, few, of no account.
Ke olelo nei o Iehova i keia wa, me ka i ana mai, Ekolu makahiki i koe, E like me na makahiki o ka mea i hoolimalimaia, E hoowahawahaia ka nani o Moaba, A me kona poe lehulehu loa; E uuku auanei ke koena, aole e nui.
