< Isaiah 17 >
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold Damascus shall cease to be a city, and shall be as a ruinous heap of stones.
KA wanana no Damaseko. Aia hoi! Ua hookiia o Damaseko, aole ia he kulanakauhale, E lilo no ia i puu opala.
2 The cities of Aroer shall be left for flocks, and they shall rest there, and there shall be none to make them afraid.
Ua haaleleia na kulanakauhale o Aroera; E lilo lakou no na ohana hipa, Malaila lakou e moe ai, aoho mea nana lakou e hoomakau.
3 And aid shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus: and the remnant of Syria shall be as the glory of the children of Israel: saith the Lord of hosts.
E hookiia auanei na wahi i paa i ka pa o Eperaima, A me ke aupuni o Damaseko, a me ke koena o Suria: E like me ka nani o na mamo a Iseraela, pela auanei lakou, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall grow lean.
A hiki aku ia la, e hoopauia ka nani o Iakoba, A e olala no hoi ke kelekele o kona io.
5 And it shall be as when one gathereth in the harvest that which remaineth, and his arm shall gather the ears of corn: and it shall be as he that seeketh ears in the vale of Raphaim.
A e like no hoi ia me ka mea okioki i ka hua palaoa, Na kona lima e okioki i na huhui palaoa; A e like no hoi ia me ka mea hoiliili i na huhui palaoa ma ke awawa o Repaima.
6 And the fruit thereof that shall be left upon it, shall be as one cluster of grapes, and as the shaking of the olive tree, two or three berries in the top of a bough, or four or five upon the top of the tree, saith the Lord the God of Israel.
E waihoia no kekahi koena ai nana, E like me na oliva i luluia, A koe elua, a ekolu paha hua ma na welau o na lala luna; Eha, a elima paha, ma na lala waho hua nui, Wahi a Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
7 In that day man shall bow down himself to his Maker, and his eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel.
Ia la la, e hilinai aku no ke kanaka ma ka mea nana i hana, E kau no kona mau maka maluna o ka mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
8 And he shall not look to the altars which his hands made: and he shall not have respect to the things that his fingers wrought, such as groves and temples.
Aole ia e hilinai aku ma na kuahu a kona mau lima i hana'i, Aole hoi e manao i na mea i hanaia e kona mau manamana lima, I na kii o Aseterota, a me na'kua kii.
9 In that day his strong cities shall be forsaken, as the ploughs, and the corn that were left before the face of the children of Israel, and thou shalt be desolate.
Ia la la, e like ana na kulanakauhale o kona pakaua, Me ka ululaau i haaleleia, Me na lala maluna i haaleleia no na mamo a Iseraela; E olohelohe ana no ia.
10 Because thou hast forgotten God thy saviour, and hast not remembered thy strong helper: therefore shalt thou plant good plants, and shalt sow strange seed.
No ka mea, ua hoopoina oe i ke Akua nana oe i hoopakele, Aole i hoomanao i ka Pohaku o kou ikaika; Nolaila oe e kanu ai i na mea kanu maikai, A e pohuli i na lala waina o ka malihini.
11 In the day of thy planting shall be the wild grape, and in the morning thy seed shall flourish: the harvest is taken away in the day of inheritance, and shall grieve thee much.
I ka la o kou kanu ana hoopaa no oe ia i ka pa, A i ke kakahiaka no oe i hooulu i kau hua; Aka, e laweia ka puu ai i ka la o ka loaa ana, Aole e ole ke kaumaha.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people, like the multitude of the roaring sea: and the tumult of crowds, like the noise of many waters.
Auwe ke kupikipikio o na lahuikanaka he nui; Ua like ko lakou kupikipikio ana, me ka halulu ana o na kai, Ka halulu o ko na aina: Halulu no lakou e like me ka halulu ana o na wai.
13 Nations shall make a noise like the noise of waters overflowing, but he shall rebuke him, and he shall flee far off: and he shall be carried away as the dust of the mountains before the wind, and as a whirlwind before a tempest.
Halulu ko na aina, e like me ka halulu ana o na wai he nui; Aka, e papa no oia ia lakou, A e pee no lakou i kahi loihi; E hahaiia no lakou, e like me ka opala o na kuahiwi imua o ka makani, E like hoi me ka lepo imua o ka puahiohio.
14 In the time of the evening, behold there shall be trouble: the morning shall come, and he shall not be: this is the portion of them that have wasted us, and the lot of them that spoiled us.
I ke ahiahi, aia hoi he weliweli, A mamua o ke kakahiaka, aole lakou. Oia ka hope o ka poe i hao i ka kakou, O ka poe hoi i lawe wale i ka kakou.
