Isaiah 16
1 Send a lamb [to] the ruler of the land, From Selah in the wilderness, To the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
E HOOKUPU oukou i keiki hipa na ke alii o ka aina, Mai Sela o ka waonahele mai, A i ka mauna o ke kaikamahine a Ziona.
2 And it has come to pass, As a wandering bird, cast out of a nest, Are daughters of Moab, [at] fords of Arnon.
E like me ka manu lele, i kipakuia mai kona punana aku, Pela auanei na kaikamahine o Moaba, Ma na ahua o Arenona.
3 Bring in counsel, do judgment, Make your shadow as night in the midst of noon, Hide outcasts, do not reveal the wanderer.
E kuka, e hana i ka mea i pono; E hoohalike i kou aka me ka po iwaena konu o ke ao; E huna i ka poe i kipakuia, Mai kumakaia i ka mea auwana.
4 My outcasts sojourn in you, O Moab, Be a secret hiding place for them, From the face of a destroyer, For the extortioner has ceased, Devastation has been finished, The tramplers are consumed out of the land.
E ae aku i kuu poe i kipakuia, e Moaba, e noho me oe, I puuhonua hoi oe no lakou, mai ke alo o ka mea luku; No ka mea, e pau auanei ka hookaumaha, A e oki loa hoi ka mea luku, A me ka mea hookaumaha, mai ka aina aku.
5 And the throne is established in kindness, And [One] has sat on it in truth, in the tent of David, Judging and seeking judgment, and hastening righteousness.
Alaila, ma ka pono e hoopaaia'i ka nohoalii, A e noho no kekahi maluna o ia me ka pono, ma ka hale hoi o Davida; He lunakanawai e imi ana i ka pololei, e hooponopono koke ana no hoi.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab—very proud, His pride, and his arrogance, and his wrath—his boastings [are] not right.
Ua lohe no kakou i ka haaheo o Moaba, ka hookiekie loa: A me kona haakei a me kona hookano a me kona huhu; Aole e holo kona wahahee ana.
7 Therefore Moab howls for Moab, all of it howls, It meditates for the grape-cakes of Kir-Hareseth, They are surely struck.
Nolaila e uwe ai o ko Moaba, No Moaba e uwe ai na mea a pau; E kaniuhu oukou no Kira Haresa, E kaumaha io no.
8 Because fields of Heshbon languish, The vine of Sibmah, Lords of nations beat her choice vines, They have come to Jazer, They have wandered in a wilderness, Her plants have spread themselves, They have passed over a sea.
No ka mea, ua mae wale na mahinaai o Hesebona, O ke kumuwaina hoi o Sibema; Ua uhai na haku o na aina i kona mau lala maikai, Hiki no lakou i Iazera, Auwana lakou ma ka waonahele: Palahalaha ae la kona mau lala, A hala i kela aoao o ke kai.
9 Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazer, The vine of Sibmah, I water you [with] my tear, O Heshbon and Elealeh, For—for your summer fruits, and for your harvest, The shouting has fallen.
Nolaila, me au i uwe ai no Iazera, Pela no wau e uwe ai no ke kumuwaina o Sibema; E hoopulu aku au ia oe i kuu waimaka, e Hesebona, a me Eleale; No ka mea, ua haule ka hooho kaua maluna o kou kau ai a me kou ohi ai ana.
10 And gladness and joy have been removed from the fruitful field, And they do not sing in vineyards, nor shout, The treader does not tread wine in the presses, I have caused shouting to cease.
Ua laweia'ku la ka lealea, a me ka hauoli, Mai ka mahinaai hua nui aku; Aole hooho ma na pawaina, aole hoi he hauoli: Aohe mea hahi waina ma na lua kaomi waina, Ua hooki loa aku au i ka hooho olioli ana.
11 Therefore my bowels sound as a harp for Moab, And my inward parts for Kir-Haresh.
Nolaila e kani ai ko'u opu no Moaba, Me he mea kani la, A me ko'u naau hoi, no Kira-Haresa.
12 And it has come to pass, when it has been seen, That Moab has been weary on the high place, And he has come to his sanctuary to pray, And is not able.
E hiki mai auanei, a e ikeia no, Ka luhi ana o ko Moaba maluna o na wahi kiekie, E hele no oia i kona wahi kapu e nonoi ai, Aole nae e loaa.
13 This [is] the word that YHWH has spoken to Moab from that time,
Oia ka olelo a Iehova i olelo ai no Moaba i ka wa mamua.
14 And now YHWH has spoken, saying, “In three years, as years of a hired worker, The glory of Moab is lightly esteemed, With all the great multitude, And the remnant [is] little, small, not mighty!”
Ke olelo nei o Iehova i keia wa, me ka i ana mai, Ekolu makahiki i koe, E like me na makahiki o ka mea i hoolimalimaia, E hoowahawahaia ka nani o Moaba, A me kona poe lehulehu loa; E uuku auanei ke koena, aole e nui.
