< Isaiah 9 >

1 For is there no gloom to her that was stedfast? Now the former hath lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but the latter hath dealt a more grievous blow by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in the district of the nations.
I ka wa i hoowahawahaia'i ka aina o Zebuluna, a me ka aina o Napetali, A mahope iho, hoonani oia i kahi maikai, Ma kela aoao o Ioredane, o Galilaia no na kanaka e.
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
O na kanaka i hele ma ka pouli, E ike auanei lakou i ka malamalama nui; O ka poe i noho ma ka aina o ke aka o ka make, E alohi mai auanei ka malamalama maluna o lakou.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast increased their joy; they joy before Thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
Ua hoonui oe i ka lahuikanaka, Ua hoomahuahua oe i ko lakou olioli; Ke olioli nei lakou imua ou, E like me ka olioli ana i ka hooiliili ai ana, E like hoi me ka hauoli ana o ka poe puunauwe i ka waiwai pio.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, Thou hast broken as in the day of Midian.
No ka mea, o kona auamo kaumaha, O ka laau i hahau i kona kua, A me ke kookoo o ka mea hookaumaha ia ia, Ua haki oe ia mau mea me ia i ka la o Midiana.
5 For every boot stamped with fierceness, and every cloak rolled in blood, shall even be for burning, for fuel of fire.
No ka mea, o na palewawae a pau o ka mea i kahikoia i ka palewawae e wawalo ana, A me na aahu i opeope pu ia me ke koko, E lilo no ia mau mea i mea e puhiia, I wahie hoi no ke ahi.
6 For a child is born unto us, a son is given unto us; and the government is upon his shoulder; and his name is called Pele-joez-el-gibbor-Abi-ad-sar-shalom;
No ka mea, ua hanauia mai, he keiki no kakou, No kakou i haawiia mai ai, he keikikane, Maluna o kona poohiwi ke aupuni; A e kapaia kona inoa, o Kupaianaha, O Kakaolelo, o Keakuamana, O Kamakuamauloa, o Kealiiokamalu.
7 That the government may be increased, and of peace there be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it through justice and through righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts doth perform this.
Aole e pau ka mahuahua ana o kona aupuni, a me ka malu; Ma ka nohoalii o Davida ia, A ma kona aupuni no hoi, E hoala hou ia mea, a e hookupaa ia ia, Me ka hooponopono, a me ka maikai, Mai keia wa aku, a i ke ao pau ole. Na ka ikaika o Iehova o na kaua e hana i keia.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
Ka olelo a ka Haku i hoouna aku ai no Iakoba, A haule hoi ia maluna o ka Iseraela.
9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in arrogancy of heart:
E ike auanei na kanaka a pau o Eperaima, A me ka poe noho ma Samaria, Ka poe i olelo me ka hookiekie, a me ka hookano o ka naau,
10 'The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but cedars will we put in their place.'
Ua hiolo na pohaka lepo, A na makou e kukulu, he pohaka i kalaiia; Ua kuaia ilalo na laau sukomorea, A na makou no e kanu i na laau kedera.
11 Therefore the LORD doth set upon high the adversaries of Rezin against him, and spur his enemies;
Na Iehova no e hoala mai i na enemi o Rezina, e ku e ia ia, E paipai oia i kona poe enemi:
12 The Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west; and they devour Israel with open mouth. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
O na Suria ma ka hikina, a ma ke komohana hoi o na Pilisetia, A e hoopaa no i ka Iseraela me ka waha hamama: Aole nae i huli aka kona huhu no keia mau mea a pau, Ke o mai nei no oia i kona lima i keia manawa.
13 Yet the people turneth not unto Him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
Aole nae i hoi hou na kanaka, I ka mea nana lakou i hahau, Aole lakou i imi ia Iehova o na kaua.
14 Therefore the LORD doth cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.
Nolaila e oki ai o Iehova, mai ka Iseraela aku, I ke poo, a me ka huelo, I ka lala pama, a me ke naku, ma ka la hookahi.
15 The elder and the man of rank, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
O ka lunakahiko a me ka mea koikoi, oia ke poo, O ke kaula i ao mai i ka wahahee, oia ka huelo.
16 For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
O na alakai o keia poe kanaka, he poe alakai hewa lakou; A o ka poe i alakai hewa ia, e lukuia no lakou.
17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall He have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is ungodly and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh wantonness. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Nolaila, aole olioli ka Haku maluna o ko lakou poe ui. Aole hoi ia e aloha i na keiki makua ole o lakou, A me ko lakou wahinekanemake; No ka mea, ua haumia lakou a pau, a ua hewa, Olelo no na waha a pau ma ka lapawale. Aole nae i hali aku kona huhu no keia maa mea a pau, Aka, ke o mai nei no kona lima i keia manawa.
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in thick clouds of smoke.
No ka mea, e a ana ka hewa e like me ke ahi, E hoopaa no ia i ka nahele ooi, a me ka laau kalakala, A e a no hoi ia maloko o ka ululaau paapu; A e punohn iluna, he punohu u wahi.
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land burnt up; the people also are as the fuel of fire; no man spareth his brother.
Ua hoaia ka aina, no ka ukiuki o Iehova o na kaua, A ua lilo hoi na kanaka i wahie no ke ahi; Aohe kanaka i aloha i kona hoa.
20 And one snatcheth on the right hand, and is hungry; and he eateth on the left hand, and is not satisfied; they eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
E ai no ia ma ka lima akau, a e pololi nae, E ai no hoi ia ma ka lima hema, aole nae e maona; E ai no ke kanaka i ka io o kona lima iho.
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together are against Judah. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
O Manase ia Eperaima, a o Eperaima hoi ia Manase, A e hui no hoi laua e ku e ia Iuda; Aole nae i huli aku kona huhu no keia mau mea a pau, Aka, ke o mai nei no kona lima i keia manawa.
