Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
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 are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
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 fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, says the LORD of hosts.
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 it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
A hiki aku ia la, e hoopauia ka nani o Iakoba, A e olala no hoi ke kelekele o kona io.
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathers the corn, and reaps the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathers ears 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 gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, says 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 look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect 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 he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the 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 his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left 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 you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not been mindful of the rock of your strength, therefore shall you plant pleasant plants, and shall set it with strange slips:
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 shall you make your plant to grow, and in the morning shall you make your seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
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 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty 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 nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
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 behold at evening trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
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.
