< Isaiah 25 >
1 Lord, you are my God. I will honor you and praise who you are, because you have done wonderful things that you planned long ago. You are faithful and trustworthy!
E IEHOVA, o oe no ko'u Akua, E hapai aku no wau ia oe, E hoolea aku no wau i kou inoa; No ka mea, ua hana oe i na mea kupanaha; Mai ka wa kahiko mai kou manao, He paa a he oiaio.
2 You have turned the city into a pile of rubble; the fortified town is now a ruin; the foreigner palace is gone. It is no longer a city and it will never be rebuilt.
No ka mea, ua hana mai oe i ke kulanakauhale, he puu, I ke kulanakauhale i paa i ka pakaua, he puu opala; I ka halealii o na malihini, i ole ia he kulanakauhale; Aole hoi ia e hana hou ia, a i ka manawa pau ole.
3 Because of this powerful nations will honor you; cities of brutal nations will be in awe of you.
Nolaila, e hoomana'i ka lahuikanaka ikaika ia oe, A e makau no hoi ia oe ke kulanakauhale o na lahuikanaka weliweli.
4 But you have protected the poor and needy when they were in trouble, you shielded them from storms and shaded them from the heat. For the actions of brutal people are like rain beating against a wall,
No ka mea, ua noho oe i puuhonua no ka poe hune, I puuhonua hoi no ka mea poino maloko o kona pilikia, He puuhonua no ka ino, he malu hoi no ka wela, I ka wa e ikaika ai ka makani o ka poe hooweliweli e like me ka ino ma ka paia.
5 like heat in a desert. You end the noisy uprising of foreigners. In the same way that a cloud's shadow cools down the heat of the day, so the song sung by brutal people is silenced.
E like me ka piao ana o ka aina maloo, Pela no oe e hoohaahaa'i i ka walaau o na kanaka e, E like me ka wela i pau i ke ao eleele, Pela no e hoopauia'i ke oli ana o ka poe ikaika.
6 On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast for all nations, a lavish feast of aged wines, rich food, and the best meat.
Na Iehova o na kaua e hana maluna o keia mauna, I ahaaina mea ono, no na kanaka a pau, he aha inu waina kahiko, He mau mea maikai ono loa, he waina kahiko i hanaia a maikai.
7 On this mountain he will destroy the veil that covers all the nations, the sheet that is over everyone.
Maluna o keia mauna e lawe lilo ai oia i ka pale, I ka mea i uhi ai i ka maka o na lahuikanaka a pau, A me ka pale i uhi ai maluna o ko na aina a pau.
8 He will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away all tears, and everywhere he will take away the humiliation suffered by his people. The Lord has spoken.
E hoopau no hoi oia i ka make no ka manawa pau ole; A na ka Haku o Iehova, e holoi i ka waimaka, Mai na maka a pau aku; E lawe aku no hoi ia i ka hilahila o kona poe kanaka, Mai ka honua a pau aku; No ka mea, o Iehova ka i olelo mai.
9 At that time his people will say, “Look! This is our God; we have trusted in him and he has saved us! This is the Lord we have been looking for. Now we can be happy and celebrate the salvation he brings!”
Ia la la, e olelo no lakou, Aia hoi, o ko makou Akua keia; Ua kakali makou ia ia, a ua hoola mai oia ia makou; O Iehova no keia, ua kakali makou ia ia, E olioli no makou, a e hauoli hoi ma kona ola.
10 The Lord's hand of protection will be on this mountain. But the Moabites will be trampled underfoot like straw into the water of a manure pit.
No ka mea, ma keia mauna e hoomaha ai ka lima o Iehova, A e hahiia o Moaba malalo iho ona, E like me ka hahiia o ka mauu maloo ma ka puu opala.
11 They will reach out their hands to try and save themselves, like swimmers using their hands to swim, but their pride will be humbled however much they thrash about.
E hohola aku no oia i kona mau lima mawaena konu o ia wahi, E like me ka mea auau, i halo aku i na lima e au: E hoohaahaa no ia i kona hookiekie, A me ka maalea o kona mau lima.
12 Moab, he will demolish your fortress with the high walls, bringing it down to the ground, into the dust.
E hoohiolo no oia i ka pakaua o kou pa kiekie, E hana no oia a haahaa, E hoohaahaa no ma ka honua, ilalo hoi ma ka lepo.
