< Isaiah 13 >

1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw:
KA wanana no Babulona, ka mea a Isaia, ke keiki a Amosa i ike ai.
2 Set up a banner on the bare mountain. Lift up your voice to them. Wave your 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 consecrated ones; I have also called my mighty men to carry out my anger, my proudly exulting ones.
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 is in the mountains, as of a great people; the noise of an uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together. The LORD of hosts is mustering the army for 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 uttermost part 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 Wail; for the day of the LORD is at hand. It will come as destruction from Shaddai.
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 all hands will be feeble, and everyone's heart will melt.
Nolaila, e lewa wale ilalo na lima a pau, A e maule hoi na naau a pau o kanaka:
8 They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman in labor. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will be faces of flame.
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 Look, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners 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 the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its 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 I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble 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 people more rare than fine gold, even a person than the pure gold 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 make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its 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 It will happen that like a hunted gazelle, and like sheep that no one gathers, they will each turn to their own people, and will each flee to their 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 Everyone who is found will be thrust through. Everyone who is captured will 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 infants also will be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be ransacked, and their wives raped.
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 Look, I will stir up the Medes against them, who will not value silver, and as for gold, they will 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 will dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eyes will 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 Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, will be like 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 will never be inhabited, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation. The Arabian will not pitch a tent there, neither will shepherds make their flocks lie down 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 animals of the desert will lie there, and their houses will be full of jackals. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will frolic 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 Wolves will cry in their fortresses, and jackals in the pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come, and her days will 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.
