Esias 21
1 THE VISION OF THE DESERT. As though a whirlwind should pass through the desert, coming from a desert, [even] from such a land,
KA wanana no ka waonahele o ka moana. Like me ka holo ana o ka puahiohio ma ke kukulu hema, Pela no kona hele ana, mai ka waonahele mai, Mai ka aina weliweli mai hoi.
2 [so] a fearful and a grievous vision was declared to me: he that is treacherous deals treacherously, the transgressor transgresses. The Elamites are upon me, and the ambassadors of the Persians come against me: now will I groan and comfort myself.
He wanana weliweli ka i hoikeia mai ia'u; O ka mea e luku aku, e luku aku no ia, O ka mea i anai aku, e anai aku no ia. O pii, e Elama; e hoopuni aku, e Media: Ua hoopau wau i kona uwe ana a pau.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with feebleness, and pangs have seized me as a travailing woman: I dealt wrongfully that I might not hear; I hasted that I might not see.
Nolaila i piha ai ko'u puhaka i ka eha, Ua loohia au i ke nahu kuakoko, E like me ke kuakoko o ka wahine hanau keiki; Kupaka au i kuu lohe ana, Makau no hoi au i kuu ike ana.
4 My heart wanders, and transgression overwhelms me; my soul is occupied with fear.
Ua kulanalana ko'u naau, Pihoihoi au i ka makau; Ua hoolilo oia i ka po o kuu olioli, I mea weliweli no'u.
5 Prepare the table, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and prepare [your] shields.
E hoomakaukau i ka papaaina, E kiai ka poe kiai, e ai, a inu hoi; E ala oukou, e na'lii, e kahinu i ka palekaua.
6 For thus said the Lord to me, Go and station a watchman for yourself, and declare whatever you shall see.
No ka mea, penei i olelo mai ai ka Haku ia'u, O hele, e hoonoho i ke kiai ma ka hale kiai, E hai mai oia i kona mea e ike ai.
7 And I saw two mounted horsemen, and a rider on an ass, and a rider on a camel.
A ike iho la oia, he mau hololio kaua palua, He holo hoki, a he holo kamelo; Hooikaika loa iho la oia e hoolohe aku:
8 Listen with great attention, and call you Urias to the watch-tower: the Lord has spoken. I stood continually during the day, and I stood in the camp all night:
A hea mai la hoi ia, me he liona la, E kuu haku, ua ku mau no wau ma ka halekiai i ke ao, Ua hoonohoia no hoi au ma kuu wahi kiai, i na po a pau:
9 and, behold, he comes riding in a chariot and pair: and he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all her images and her idols have been crushed to the ground.
Aia hoi, hele mai kekahi mau hololio kaua, o na hololio papalua. Olelo mai la, i mai, Ua haule o Bahulona, ua haule; Ua hoohiolo oia i kona poe akua kii ilalo i ka honua.
10 Hear, you that are left, and you that are in pain, hear what things I have heard of the Lord of hosts [which] the God of Israel has declared to us. THE VISION OF IDUMEA.
Auwe kuu mea i hahiia, ke keiki hoi o ko'u kahua hahi! O ka mea a'u i lohe ai, no Iehova o na kaua mai, Ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Oia ka'u e hai aku nei ia oukou.
11 Call to me out of Seir; guard you the bulwarks.
Ka wanana no Duma. Hea mai no oia ia'u mai Seira mai, E ke kiai, heaha ko ka po? E ke kiai, heaha ko ka po?
12 I watch in the morning and the night: if you would enquire, enquire, and dwell by me.
Hai mai ke kiai, Ke hiki mai la ke kakahiaka, a me ka po hoi! Ina makemake oukou e ninau, e ninau no; E hoi hou mai.
13 You may lodge in the forest in the evening, or in the way of Daedan.
Ka wanana no Arabia. Ma ka ululaau o Arabia oukou e moe ai, E na huakaihele o Dedana!
14 You that dwell in the country of Thaeman, bring water to meet him that is thirsty;
E ka poe noho ma ka aina o Tema, e lawe mai i ka wai, E halawai me ka poe makewai, Me ka berena e kakali ai i ka mea auwana.
15 meet the fugitives with bread, because of the multitude of the slain, and because of the multitude of them that lose their way, and because of the multitude of swords, and because of the multitude of bent bows, and because of the multitude of them that have fallen in war.
Mai ka maka aku o ka pahikaua lakou e hee ai, Mai ke alo aku o na pahikaua i unuhiia, Mai ke alo aku o ke kakaka i lena, A mai ke alo aku o ke kaua ikaika.
16 For thus said the Lord to me, Yet a year, as the year of an hireling, [and] the glory of the sons of Kedar shall fail:
No ka mea, penei i olelo mai ai ka Haku ia'u, Hookahi makahiki e koe, e like me ka makahiki o ka paaua, E pau no ka nani a pau o Kedara.
17 and the remnant of the strong bows of the sons of Kedar shall be small: for the Lord God of Israel has spoken [it].
O ke koena o ka poe i heluia o ka poe akamai i ka pana, O na koa hoi o Kedara, e emi no lakou: No ka mea, ua olelo mai no o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
