Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her that is rebellious and corrupted, to the oppressing city!
A UWE ka mea e kipi ana, a me ka mea haumia, Ke kulanakauhale hookoikoi.
2 She hearkened not to the voice; she received not correction; she confided not in Jehovah; she drew not near her God.
Aole ia i hoolohe i ka leo, aole hoi i ae aku i ke aoia mai; Aole hoi ia i paulele ia Iehova, Aole ia i hookokoke aku i kona Akua.
3 Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves, that leave nothing for the morning.
O na'lii iloko ona, he poe liona uwo lakou; O na lunakanawai ona, he poe iliohae o ke ahiahi; Aole lakou e hookoe a hiki i ke kakahiaka.
4 Her prophets are vain-glorious, treacherous persons; her priests profane the sanctuary, they do violence to the law.
He poe haaheo na kaula ona, na kanaka hoopunipuni; Ua hoohaumia na kahuna ona i ke keenakapu, Ua haihai lakou i ke kanawai.
5 The righteous Jehovah is in the midst of her: he doeth no wrong. Every morning doth he bring his judgment to light; it faileth not: but the unrighteous knoweth no shame.
Iwaenakonu o lakou o Iehova ka mea hoopono, Aole ia e hana i ka pono ole; E hoakaka mai ana ia i kona pono ia kakahiaka ae, ia kakahiaka ae, aole haule; Aka, o ka mea hana hewa, aole ia i hoomaopopo i ka hilahila,
6 I have cut off nations: their battlements are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
Ua hooki iho au i na lahuikanaka; Ua hoohioloia na pakaua o lakou; Ua hooneoneo au i ko lakou mau alanui, i maalo ole ae kekahi ilaila; Ua hoohinaia na kulanakauhale o lakou, a koe ole kekahi, Aole hoi e noho ana kekahi kanaka iloko.
7 I said, Only fear me, receive correction; so her dwelling shall not be cut off, howsoever I may punish her. But they rose early, they corrupted all their doings.
Olelo iho la au, Ina oe e makau mai ia'u, a e ae mai i ke aoia, I hooki ole ia'i kona noho ana, e like me na mea a'ue olelo mua ai nona: Aka, ua ala lakou i ka wanaao, e hoohaumia i ka lakou hana a pau.
8 Therefore wait ye for me, saith Jehovah, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for my determination is to assemble the nations, that I may gather the kingdoms together, to pour upon them mine indignation, — all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
No ia mea, e kali oukou ia'u, wahi a Iehova, A hiki i ka la a'u e ku ae ai i ka waiwai pio: No ka mea, o kuu manao no e houluulu i na lahuikanaka, e hoakoakoa i ko na aupuni, E ninini iho i kuu inaina maluna o lakou, i ka wela a pau o ko'u huhu; No ka mea, e pau auanei ka honua a pau i ke ahi o kuu lili.
9 For then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Jehovah, to serve him with one consent.
Alaila au e haawi aku ai i na kanaka i ka Iehelehe maikai, I kahea aku ai lakou a pau i ka inoa o Iehova, A e hookauwa aku ai nana me ka poohiwi hookahi.
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush my suppliants, the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine oblation.
Mai na aina mai o ka muliwai o Aitiopa, E lawe mai ana ko'u poe haipule, o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe hele liilii, i alana na'u.
11 In that day thou shalt not be ashamed for all thy doings wherein thou hast transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that exult in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
Ia la no, aole oe e hilahila i kau hana ana a pau, I na mea au i lawehala ai ia'u: No ka mea, alaila au e lawe aku ai mai ou aku la i kou poe e olioli i ka hookiekie; I ole ai oe e hookiekie hou aku ma kuu mauna hoano.
12 And I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of Jehovah.
A e hoolilo au i na kanaka i koe iwaena o oukou i poe haahaa, a me ka ilihune, A e paulele auanei lakou i ka inoa o Iehova.
13 The remnant of Israel shall not work unrighteousness, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: but they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Aole e hana ino ke koena o ka Iseraela, Aole hoi e olelo hoopunipuni lakou; Aole no hoi e loaa ka elelo wahahee iloko o ko lakou waha; Aka, e ai auanei iakou, a e moe iho, aole kekahi mea e hooweliweli ana ia lakou.
14 Exult, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; rejoice and be glad with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem:
E mele oe, e ke kaikamahine o Ziona, E hooho aku, e ka Iseraela, e olioli, E hauoli hoi me kou naau a pau, e ke kaikamahine o Ierusalema,
15 Jehovah hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy; the King of Israel, Jehovah, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not see evil any more.
Ua lawe aku la o Iehova i kou hoohewaia ana, Ua kipaku aku la i kou poe enemi; O Iehova ke alii o ka Iseraela, oia no iwaena ou; Aole hoi oe e ike hou i ka hewa.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear not; Zion, let not thy hands be slack.
Ia la la, e oleloia auanei ia Ierusalema, Mai makau oe: E Ziona, Mai hoonawaliwali i kou mau lima.
17 Jehovah thy God is in thy midst, a mighty one that will save: he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will exult over thee with singing.
O Iehova o kou Akua iwaena ou, He mana kona, e hoola mai ana oia; E olioli auanei oia nou me ka hauoli, E noho malie oia i kona aloha, E hauoli oia nou me ka mele ana.
18 I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assemblies, who were of thee: the reproach of it was a burden [unto them].
E houluulu ana au i ka poe e u ana no kau mau ahaaina, i lilo ai lakou nou, Ka poe kaumaha i ka hoinoia nona.
19 Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee; and I will save her that halted, and gather her that was driven out; and I will make them a praise and a name in all the lands where they have been put to shame.
Aia hoi, e hoauhee auanei au i ka poe a pau i hoopilikia ia oe ia manawa; A e malama no au i ka mea oopa, a e hoihoi mai ana no au I ka mea i kipakuia'ku; A e haawi au ia lakou i ka hoomaikaiia, a me ka inoa kaulana, Ma na aina a pau i hoohilahilaia'i lakou.
20 At that time will I bring you, yea, at the time that I gather you; for I will make you a name and a praise, among all the peoples of the earth, when I shall turn again your captivity before your eyes, saith Jehovah.
Ia manawa no na'u oukou e alakai mai, I ka manawa a'u e houluulu ai ia oukou: A e hookaulana au i ko oukou inoa no ka hoomaikaiia iwaena o na kanaka a pau o ka honua, I kuu wa e hoihoi mai ai i ko oukou pio ana, imua o ko oukou mau maka, wahi a Iehova.
