Isaiah 3
1 For behold the sovereign the Lord of hosts shall take away from Jerusalem, and from Juda the valiant and the strong, the whole strength of bread, and the whole strength of water.
A IA hoi, o Iehova, ka Haku o na kaua, E lawe ana ia i na kookoo a pau, Mai ko Ierusalema, a mai ka Iuda aku, I ke kookoo a pau ma ka ai, i ke kookoo a pau ma ka wai,
2 The strong man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the cunning man, and the ancient.
I ka mea ikaika, a me ke kanaka koa, I ka lunakanawai, a me ke kaula. I ka mea kilokilo, a me ka mea kahiko;
3 The captain over fifty, and the honourable in countenance, and the counsellor, and the architect, and the skillful in eloquent speech.
I ka lunakanalima, a me ke kanaka koikoi, I ke kakaolelo, a me ka mea ike i na hana, I ka mea no hoi i akamai i ka hoowalewale moo.
4 And I will give children to be their princes, and the effeminate shall rule over them.
E haawi aku no hoi au, e noho na kamalii maluna o lakou, E noho alii no na keiki uuku maluna o lakou.
5 And the people shall rush one upon another, and every man against his neighbour: the child shall make it tumult against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
E hookaumahaia na kanaka, kekahi e kekahi, A me ke kanaka hoi e kona hoa; A e hookiekie no ka mea opiopio maluna o ka mea kahiko, A me ka mea i hoowahawahaia maluna o ka mea hanohano.
6 For a man shall take hold or his brother, one of the house of his father, saying: Thou hast a garment, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.
E lalau no ke kanaka i kona hoahanau o ka hale o kona makuakane, me ka olelo iho, Ea, he aahu no kou, e noho alii oe maluna o makou, Malalo hoi o kou lima keia pilikia.
7 In that day he shall answer, saying: I am no healer, and in my house there is no bread, nor clothing: make me not ruler of the people.
Ia la la, e hookiekie no kela i kona leo, me ka olelo mai, Aole au e noho hooponopono maluna o oukou, No ka mea, aohe ai ma ko'u hale, aole hoi he mea aahu; Mai hoonoho ia'u i alii maluna o kanaka;
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Juda is fallen: because their tongue, and their devices are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his majesty.
No ka mea, ua kulanalana o Ierusalema, ua haule hoi o Iuda; No ke ku e o ko lakou elelo a me ka lakou hana ia Iehova, E hoonaukiuki aku i kona mau maka hanohano.
9 The shew of their countenance hath answered them: and they have proclaimed abroad their sin as Sodom, and they have not hid it: woe to their souls, for evils are rendered to them.
O ka ike ana i ko lakou helehelena ka i hoike no lakou; Ke hai nei hoi lakou i ko lakou hewa e like me Sodoma, Aole lakou i hoole. Auwe ko lakou poe uhane! No ka mea, ua lawe mai lakou i ka hewa maluna o lakou iho.
10 Say to the just man that it is well, for he shall eat the fruit of his doings.
E olelo aku oukou i na mea i pono, e pomaikai lakou, No ka mea, e ai no lakou i ka hua o ka lakou hana ana.
11 Woe to the wicked unto evil: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
Auwe hoi ka mea i hewa! e poino no ia; E haawiia'ku nana ka uku o kona mau lima.
12 As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them. O my people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps.
O ko'u poe kanaka, o na kamal i ko lakou poe luna alunu, O na wahine hoi ka i noho alii maluna o lakou. E kuu poe kanaka, he poe hoolalau kou poe alakai, A ke hoopau nei lakou i ko oukou mau alanui.
13 The Lord standeth up to judge, and he standeth to judge the people.
Ke ku nei no o Iehova e hoakaka mai, Ua ku no ia iluna e hooponopono i na kanaka.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and its princes: for you have devoured the vineyard, and the spoil of the poor is in your house.
E hele mai ana no o Iehova e hoopai, I na lunakahiko o kona poe kanaka, a me ko lakou poe alii: Ua hoopau oukou i na pawaina; Aia hoi ma ko oukou hale ka waiwai kaili wale ia o ka poe hune.
15 Why do you consume my people, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the God of hosts.
No ke aha la oukou e hookaumaha nei i ko'u poe kanaka? A e anai i na maka o ka poe hune? Wahi a ka Haku, o Iehova o na kaua.
16 And the Lord said: Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with stretched out necks, and wanton glances of their eyes, and made a noise as they walked with their feet and moved in a set pace:
Ua olelo mai no hoi o Iehova, No ka laua haakei o na kaikamahine o Ziona, A hele me ka oeoe o na a-i, A me ka makaleho hilahila ole; He hele hooioi ko lakou hele, A kanikani na kupee o ko lakou wawae:
17 The Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Sion, and the Lord will discover their hair.
E hooolohelohe no ka Haku i ka pikopoo o na kaikamahine o Ziona, E hoike no o Iehova i ko lakou wahi hilahila,
18 In that day the Lord will take away the ornaments of shoes, and little moons,
Ia la la, e lawe aku no ka Haku i ko lakou mea e nani ai, I na kupee wawae, A me na upena papale oho, A me na lei o ka a i;
19 And chains and necklaces, and bracelets, and bonnets,
I na gula pepeiao, a me na kupee lima, A me na pale kalukalu;
20 And bodkins, and ornaments of the legs, and tablets, and sweet balls, and earrings,
I na papale hainaka, a me na kaula kupee wawae, I na kaei, a me na hue laau ala, A me na mea pale akua;
21 And rings, and jewels hanging on the forehead,
I na komolima, a me na gula ihu,
22 And changes of apparel, and short cloaks, and fine linen, and crisping pins,
I na aahu kuai nui, a me na holoku, I na kalukalu nui, a me na hipuu kala;
23 And looking-glasses, and lawns, and headbands, and fine veils.
I na aniani nana, a me na palule, I na ribina lei o ke poo, A me na aahu nui.
24 And instead of a sweet smell there shall be stench, and instead of a girdle, a cord, and instead of curled hair, baldness, and instead of a stomacher, haircloth.
Ma kahi i aala, e pilau ana no, Ma kahi kaei, he kaula, Ma ke oho owili e ohule ana no, Ma kahi o ka pa-u hanohano, he kaei inoino, Ma kahi maikai e paawela ana no.
25 Thy fairest men also shall fall by the sword, and thy valiant ones in battle.
E haule no kou poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A me kou poe koa hoi ma ke kaua.
26 And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall sit desolate on the ground.
E uwe, a e u hoi kona mau pukapa, A e noho neoneo oia ma ka lepo.
