< 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 Set ye up an ensign upon the bare mountain, lift up the voice unto them, wave 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 consecrated ones, yea, I have called my mighty men for mine anger, even 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 in the mountains, like as of a great people! the noise of a tumult of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! the LORD of hosts mustereth the host 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 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
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 feeble, and every heart of man 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 dismayed; pangs and sorrows shall take hold [of them]; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall 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 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to 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 arrogancy 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 rare than fine gold, even a man 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 to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken 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 come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to 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 taken 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 infants also shall be dashed in 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 And [their] bows shall dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye 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 Chaldeans’ pride, 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 dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall shepherds make their flocks to 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 beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and ostriches 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 wolves shall cry in their castles, and jackals in the 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.
