< Isaiah 17 >

1 The burden of Damascus. Beholde, Damascus is taken away from being a citie, for it shall be a ruinous heape.
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 forsaken: they shall be for the flockes: for they shall lye there, and none shall make them afraide.
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 The munition also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdome from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
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 in that day the glorie of Iaakob shall be impouerished, and the fatnes of his flesh shalbe made leane.
A hiki aku ia la, e hoopauia ka nani o Iakoba, A e olala no hoi ke kelekele o kona io.
5 And it shalbe as when the haruest man gathereth the corne, and reapeth the eares with his arme, and he shall be as he that gathereth the eares in the valley of Rephaim.
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 Yet a gathering of grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an oliue tree, two or three beries are in the top of the vpmost boughes, and foure or fiue in the hie branches of the fruite thereof, sayeth the Lord 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 At that day shall a man looke to his maker, and his eyes shall looke 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 hee shall not looke to the altars, the workes of his owne hands, neither shall he looke to those thinges, which his owne fingers haue made, as groues and images.
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 shall the cities of their strength be as the forsaking of boughes and branches, which they did forsake, because of the children of Israel, and there shall be desolation.
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 the God of thy saluation, and hast not remembred the God of thy strength, therefore shalt thou set pleasant plantes, and shalt graffe strange vine branches:
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 shalt thou make thy plant to growe, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seede to florish: but the haruest shall be gone in the day of possession, and there shalbe desperate sorrowe.
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 Ah, the multitude of many people, they shall make a sounde like the noyse of the sea: for the noyse of the people shall make a sounde like the noyse of mightie 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 The people shall make a sounde like the noise of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee farre off, and shalbe chased as the chaffe of the mountaines before the winde, and as a rolling thing before the whirlewinde.
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 And loe, in the euening there is trouble: but afore the morning it is gone. This is the portion of them that spoyle vs, and the lot of them that robbe vs.
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.
