< Isaiah 13 >

1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
KA wanana no Babulona, ka mea a Isaia, ke keiki a Amosa i ike ai.
2 Lift you up a banner on the high mountain, exalt the voice to them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
E kau i ka hae ma ka mauna olohelohe, E hookiekie i ka leo io lakou la, e peahi ka lima, I komo lakou maloko o na pukapa o na'lii.
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for my anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
Ua kauoha aku au i ko'u poe i hookaawaleia no ke kaua, A no ka ukiuki, ua hea aku au i ko'u poe koa, Kuu poe olioli me ka hookiekie.
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts musters the host of the battle.
Ka hooho ka a ka poe nui muluna o na mauna, E like me ko ka lahuikanaka nui; Ka hooho o ka hui ana o na aupuni, A me na aina i hoakoakoaia. O Iehova o na kaua, e hoolalelale ana ia i ke kaua no ka hoouka.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
Hele mai no lakou, mai ka aina mamao aku, A mai ka welau mai o ka lani; O Iehova, a me na mea hoopai o kona ukiuki, E anai i ka aina a pau.
6 Howl you; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
E aoa oukou, no ka mea, ua kokoke mai ka la o Iehova; E hiki mai no ia, e like me ka puahiohio, mai ka Mea Mana mai.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt:
Nolaila, e lewa wale ilalo na lima a pau, A e maule hoi na naau a pau o kanaka:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travails: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
E makau ananet lakou; E loohia lakou i ka eha nui, a me ka nahu kuakoko, E nui loa auanei ko lakou eha, e like me ke kuakoko o ka wahine hanau keiki; E haka pono no kekahi i kekahi me ka makau, E like ana ko lakou maka me ka lapalapa ahi.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
Aia hoi! ka la o Iehova, ke hele mai la, He weliweli loa no ka ukiuki, a me ka inaina nui, E hoolilo i ka aina i auakua, A e anai aku i ka poe hewa.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
O na hoku o ka lani a me na huihui ona, Aole lakou e haawi mai i ka malamalama; E poeleele no ka la i kona hele ana, Aole hoi e hoomalamalama mai ka mahina.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
A e hoopai aku au i ka hewa maluna o ka aina, A i ko lakou hala hoi maluna o ka poe lawehala. E hooki no wau i ka manao kiekie o ka poe hookano, A e hoohaahaa hoi au i ka manao haakei o ka poe hookaumaha.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
E hana aku au, a e uuku na kanaka, he nui ke gula, He uuku kanaka, he nui na gula o Opira.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
No ka mea, e hoonaueue au i na lani, A e kulanalana ka honua mai kona wahi aku, No ka inaina o Iehova o na kaua, Ke hiki aku ka la o kona ukiuki wela.
14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man takes up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
E like ana hoi ia me ka dia i hahaiia, Me na hipa hoi, aohe mea nana lakou e hoiliili. E huli no kela mea keia mea i kona poe kanaka iho, E holo no kela mea keia mea i kona aina iho.
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined to them shall fall by the sword.
E houia na mea a pau i loaa; A o ka poe a pau i huiia'ku, e haule lakou i ka pahikaua.
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
A e ulupaia ka la kou keiki imua o ko lakou mau maka; E haoia ko lakou hale, A e moe wale ia ka lakou mau wahine.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
Aia hoi! e hoala no wau i ko Media e ku e ia lakou, I ka poe i manao ole i ke kala; A o ke gula hoi, aole lakou makemake ia mea.
18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.
Na ko lakou kakaka e kulai i na kanaka ui, Aole lakou e aloha i ka hua o ka opu; Aole e menemene ko lakou maka i na keiki uuku.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
O Babulona, ka mea nani o na aupuni, Ka mea e hanohano ai, a e kaena ai hoi o Kaledea, E like auanei ia me Sodoma a me Gomora, Na mea a ke Akua i hookahuli ai.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
E kanaka ole ana ia mai ia wa aku, Aole e noho hou ia, mai ia hanauna, a ia hanauna aku; Aole e kukulu hou ka Arabia i kona halelewa malaila, A malaila hoi, aole e hoomoe hou na kahuhipa i ka lakou hipa.
21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
Malaila no e moe ai na holoholona o ka waonahele; A e piha no hoi ko lakou hale i na aoa; E noho no malaila ka iana, A e haa wale na kao hihiu malaila.
22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
E hae no na iliohae ma ko lakou halealii, A me na ilio hihiu ma ko lakou mau halelewa. Ua kokoke mai no kona manawa, Aole hoi e hooloihiia kona mau la.
