Joel 1
1 The worde of the Lord that came to Ioel the sonne of Pethuel.
O KA olelo a Iehova ia Ioela ke keiki a Petuela.
2 Heare ye this, O Elders, and hearken ye all inhabitantes of the land, whether such a thing hath bene in your dayes, or yet in the dayes of your fathers.
E hoolohe oukou i keia, e ka poe kahiko, E haliu mai ka pepeiao, e ka poe a pau o ka aina e noho ana; Ua hiki mai anei keia i ko oukou mau la, A i na la hoi o ko oukou mau makua?
3 Tell you your children of it, and let your children shew to their children, and their children to another generation.
E hai aku oukou i keia i ka oukou poe keiki, A o ka oukou mau keiki i ka lakou poe keiki, A o ka lakou mau keiki i ka hanauna mahope.
4 That which is left of ye palmer worme, hath the grashopper eaten, and the residue of ye grashopper hath the canker worme eaten, and the residue of the canker worme hath the caterpiller eaten.
O ka mea i koe i ka uhini hulu ole, ua pau ia i ka uhini: A o ka mea i koe i ka uhini, ua pau ia i ka uhini huluhulu, A o ka mea i koe i ka uhini huluhulu, ua pau ia i ka uhini hulu ole.
5 Awake ye drunkards, and weepe, and howle all ye drinkers of wine, because of the newe wine: for it shalbe pulled from your mouth.
E ala oukou, e na mea on a, a e uwe iho; E aoa hoi, e na mea inu waina a pau, no ka waina hou, No ka mea, ua laweia'ku ia mai ko oukou waha aku.
6 Yea, a nation commeth vpon my lande, mightie, and without nomber, whose teeth are like the teeth of a lyon, and he hath the iawes of a great lyon.
No ka mea, ua hele mai ka lahuikanaka maluna o ko'u aina, he ikaika, aole e pau i ka helu, O kona mau niho, he niho o ka liona; A o kona niho aoao, he niho o ka liona wahine.
7 He maketh my vine waste, and pilleth off the barke of my figge tree: he maketh it bare, and casteth it downe: ye branches therof are made white.
Ua luku aku ia i kuu kumuwaina, A ua hemo i ka ili o kuu laau fiku: Ua hemo i kona ili a pau, a ua hoolei aku ia mea; Ua keokeo kona mau lala.
8 Mourne like a virgine girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
E uwe iho e like me ka wahine mare i kaeiia i ke kapa inoino no ke kane o kona wa opiopio.
9 The meate offring, and the drinke offring is cut off from the House of the Lord: the Priests the Lords ministers mourne.
Ua okiia ka mohai makana, a me ka mohai inu mai ka hale o Iehova aku; Ua uwe na kahuna, na lawehana a Iehova.
10 The fielde is wasted: the lande mourneth: for the corne is destroyed: the new wine is dried vp, and the oyle is decayed.
Ua lukuia ka mahinaai, Ua uwe ka aina, No ka mea, ua lukuia ka ai, Ua maloo ka waina hou, ua emi iho ka aila.
11 Be ye ashamed, O husband men: howle, O ye vine dressers for the wheate, and for the barly, because the haruest of the fielde is perished.
E hilahila oukou, e na mahiai; E aoa oukou, e na mahiwaina, no ka huapalaoa, a no ka bale; No ka mea, ua nele ka ohi ai ana o ka mahinaai.
12 The vine is dried vp, and the figge tree is decayed: the pomegranate tree and the palme tree, and the apple tree, euen all the trees of the fielde are withered: surely the ioy is withered away from the sonnes of men.
Ua maloo ke kumuwaina, Ua mae ka laau fiku; Ua mae ka laau pomagerane, o ka laau pama, a me ka laau ohia, o na laau a pau o ke kula: No ka mea, ua pau ka olioli o na keiki a kanaka;
13 Girde your selues and lament, ye Priests: howle ye ministers of the altar: come, and lie all night in sackecloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meate offring, and the drinke offring is taken away from the house of your God.
E kaei ia oukou iho, a e kanikau, e na kahuna: E aoa oukou, e na lawehana o ke kuahu: E hele mai, e noho a ao ka po iloko o ke kapa inoino, e na lawehana a kuu Akua: No ka mea, ua hookiia ka mohai makana, a me ka mohai inu mai ka hale aku o ko oukou Akua.
14 Sanctifie you a fast: call a solemne assemblie: gather the Elders, and all the inhabitants of the land into the House of the Lord your God, and cry vnto the Lord,
E hoolaa i ka hookeai ana, E kahea aku i ka halawai, E hoakoakoa i ka poe kahiko, I na kanaka a pau o ka aina, ma ka hale o Iehova ko oukou Akua, A e hea aku ia Iehova.
15 Alas: for the day, for the day of the Lord is at hand, and it commeth as a destruction from the Almightie.
Auwe no ka la! No ka mea, ua kokoke mai ka la o Iehova, A me he make la e hiki mai ai ia mai ka Mea mana mai.
16 Is not the meate cut off before our eyes? and ioy, and gladnesse from the house of our God?
Aole anei i okiia ka ai imua o ko kakou maka? O ka olioli a me ka hauoli mai ka hale aku o ko kakou Akua?
17 The seede is rotten vnder their cloddes: the garners are destroyed: the barnes are broken downe, for the corne is withered.
Ua popopo na hua malalo iho o ko lakou lepo, Ua wawahiia na hale papaa, Ua hoohioloia na hale ai; No ka mea, ua maloo ka ai.
18 How did the beasts mourne! the herdes of cattel pine away, because they haue no pasture, and the flockes of sheepe are destroyed.
Nani ka u ana o na holoholona! Ua pilikia na kumu bipi, No ka mea, aohe ai na lakou; Ua hoopauia hoi na kumu hipa.
19 O Lord, to thee will I crie: for the fire hath deuoured the pastures of the wildernesse, and the flame hath burnt vp all the trees of the fielde.
E Iehova, ia oe no wau e kahea aku nei, No ka mea, ua ai ke ahi i ka uliuli o ka waonahele, Ua hoopau ka lapalapa ahi i na laau a pau o ke kula.
20 The beasts of the fielde cry also vnto thee: for the riuers of waters are dried vp, and the fire hath deuoured the pastures of the wildernes.
Ke auwe aku nei na holoholona o ke kula ia oe; No ka mea, ua maloo na wai o na kahawai, A ua pau i ke ahi ka uliuli o ka waonahele.
