< Isaiah 29 >

1 Alas for Ariel, Ariel, The city against which, David encamped, —Add ye a year to a year. Let the festivals, come round;
A UWE o Ariela, o Ariela, ke kulanakauhale, Kahi a Davida i noho ai! E hookui aku oukou i kekahi makahiki me kekahi makahiki; E hoomau hoi i ka ahaaina ana.
2 Yet will I bring Ariel into straits, —And she shall become a bewailing and wailing, Yea she shall become to me a veritable Hearth of God.
E hookaumaha aku no wau ia Ariela, A e nui auanei ka ehneha a me ke kaniuhu, A e like auanei ia ia'u me Ariela.
3 And I will encamp round about against thee, —And lay siege against thee with a fort, And raise against thee siege-works;
E hoomoana ku e aku au ia oe a puni, E hoopilikia aku au ia oe i na mea kaua, A e hana au i pakaua imua ou.
4 And thou shalt be brought low—Out of the earth, shalt thou speak, And out of the dust, shalt thou lower thine utterance, —And as one that hath a familiar spirit, Out of the earth, shall come thy voice, And out of the dust, thy speech shall chirp;
A e hoohaahaaia auanei oe, A e kamailio mai no oe, mailoko mai o ka honua, A mai ka lepo mai e hooliiliiia kau olelo ana; E like auanei kou leo me ko ka poe ninau kupapau mailoko mai o ka honua, E like no hoi kau olelo ana, me ka ioio ana, mai ka lepo mai.
5 Then shall be as fine dust the multitude of thy foreigners, —And as chaff that passeth away, the multitude of tyrants; And it shall come to pass, in a twinkling, Suddenly,
E like auanei ka lehulehu o kou poe malahini, Me na huna uuku o ka lepo, E like no hoi ka lehulehu o ka poe ikaika me ka opala lele, E hiki wawe ia, ma ke sekona.
6 From Yahweh of hosts, shalt thou be visited, With thunder, and with earthquake and a great noise, hurricane and storm and flame of fire devouring;
E hele hoohikilele mai o Iehova o na kaua ia oe, Me ka hekili a me ke olai, Me ka uwalaau nui, a me ka puahiohio, Me ka ino, a me ka lapalapa ahi e hoopau ana.
7 And it shall be like the dream of a night vision, With the multitude of all the nations who have been making war against Ariel, —Even with all who have been making war against her and her stronghold and who have been laying siege to her;
E like me ka moe uhane, i ka wa e hihio ai i ka po, Pela auanei ka lehulehu o na lahuikanaka a pau, I kaua aku ia Ariela. Ka poe hoi i kaua aku i kona pakaua, A hookaumaha aku ia ia.
8 Yea it shall be As when the hungry man dreameth and lo! he is eating, But he awaketh, and his soul, is empty, Or as when the thirsty man dreameth and lo! he is drinking, But he awaketh and lo! he is faint and his soul, is craving, So, shall it be with the multitude of all the nations, that have come forth to war against Mount Zion.
E like mo ka moe uhane ana o ka mea pololi, Aia hoi, ke ai la; aka i kona hikilele ana, Ua hakahaka kona naau; E like hoi me ka moe uhane ana o ka mea makewai, Aia hoi, ke inu la; aka i kona hikilele ana, Aia hoi, ua nawaliwali, a ua ikaika loa ka makemake o kona naau: Pela auanei ka lehulehu o na lahuikanaka a pau, E kaua ana i ka mauna o Ziona.
9 Stand ye stock still and stare, Besmear your eyes and be blind, —They are drunken but not with wine, They reel, but not with strong drink;
E pihoihoi oukou, e kahaha hoi, E olioli no, a e makapo, Ua ona lakou, aole nae i ka waina, Ke hikaka nei, aole nae i ka wai ona.
10 For Yahweh, hath poured out upon you, a spirit of deep sleep, Yea hath tightly shut your eyes—the prophets, —And, your heads—the seers, hath he covered,
Ua ninini mai o Iehova maluna o oukou i ka manao hiamoe loa, A ua hoopili hoi i ko oukou mau maka; Ua uhi no oia i na kahuna, a me ko oukou poe alii a me na kaula.
11 And so all vision hath become unto you as the words of a writing that is sealed, Which is delivered unto one acquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee read this, And he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed;
I like ka hoike ana a pau ia oukou Me na olelo o ka buke i hoopaaia i ka wepa, A i haawiia ia i ka mea ike i ka palapala, me ka olelo aku, E heluhelu i keia, ke noi aku nei au ia oe; A i mai kela, Aole hiki ia'u, no ka mea, ua paa i ka wepa.
12 And then the writing is delivered to one unacquainted with writing, saying, Pray thee read this, And he saith I am not acquainted with writing.
A haawiia ka buke i ka mea ike ole i ka palapala, me ka olelo aku, Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e heluhelu i keia; A i mai hoi oia, Aole au i ike i ka palapala.
13 Wherefore My Lord hath said, —Because this people, hath drawn near with their mouth, And with their lips, have honoured me, But their heart, have they moved far from me, And so their reverence of me hath become A commandment of men in which they have been schooled,
Nolaila i olelo mai ai ka Haku, No ka hookokoke ana mai o keia poe kanaka ia'u me ko lakou waha, A hoomaikai mai ia'u ma ko lakou lehelehe, A ua mamao aku ko lakou naau mai o'u aku nei, A mamuli o ke kauoha a kanaka lakou e ao ai i ka makau ia'u;
14 Therefore, behold me! again dealing wonderfully with this people, doing wonderfully a wonderful thing, —So shall perish, the wisdom of their wise men, And the intelligence of their intelligent men, shall vanish!
Nolaila au e hana aku ai i keia poe kanaka i ka mea kupanaha, I ka mea kupanaha a mana hoi; A e pau auanei ko akamai o ko lakou poe akamai, A e pee wale aku ka naauao o ka poe naauao.
15 Alas! for them who would fain have been too deep for Yahweh by giving secret counsel, —and therefore in the dark, have been their doings, and they have said Who can see us? and—Who can understand us?
Auwe ka poe imi e huna i ka ohumu ana mai o Iehova aku, A aia ma ka pouli ka lakou hana ana, A olelo mai no hoi lakou, Owai la ka mea nana mai ia makou? Owai la hoi ka mea ike mai ia makou?
16 Your perverseness! As if like clay, the potter could be reckoned; For shall, the thing made say of him that made it, he made me not? Or hath the thing fashioned ever said of him that fashioned it, He hath no understanding.
Auwe ko oukou lauwili! E manaoia anei ka lepo me ka mea nana i kawili: E olelo anei ka mea i hanaia i ka mea nana ia i hana, Aole ia i hana mai ia'u? E olelo anei ka mea i kapiliia i ka mea nana ia i kapili, Aole ia i ike?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, And Lebanon shall be turned, into garden land, —And garden land, for a forest, be reckoned?
Aole anei he manawa uuku e koe, A lilo o Lebanona i mahinaai hua nui? A lilo hoi ka mahinaai hua nui, i ululaau?
18 Therefore, in that day, shall the deaf hear the words of a book, —And out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see;
A ia la, e lohe no ka mea kuli i na huaolelo o ka buke, A mailoko mai o ka pouli, a mailoko mai o ka poeleele, E nana mai ai na maka o ka poe makapo.
19 And again shall the humbled in Yahweh, have joy, —And the needy of mankind in the Holy One of Israel, exult;
E hoomahuahua no ka poe hoohaahaa i ka olioli ia Iehova, A e hauoli hoi ka poe hune o na kanaka i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
20 For the tyrant, hath vanished, And the scoffer, is no more, Yea cut off are all who watch for iniquity: —
No ka mea, ua oki loa ka mea oolea, Ua pau hoi ka mea hoowahawaha, Ua lakuia ka poe a pau i makaala i ka hewa:
21 Who bring a man into condemnation with a rumour, And for him that decideth in the gate, lay a snare, —And have driven away, for a thing of nought, one who was righteous.
Ka poe i hoohewa mai i ke kanaka no ka olelo hookahi, A hoopahele hoi i ka mea hooponopono ma na pukapa, Aole hoi he kumu no ka lakou hana paewaewa ana i ka poe i pono.
22 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the house of Jacob, [even he saith it] who redeemed Abraham, —Not now, shall, Jacob turn pale, And, not now, shall their faces whiten;
Nolaila, no ka hale o Iakoba i olelo mai ai o Iehova, Ka mea i hoola ia Aberahama, Aole Iakoba o hilahila hou, Aole e nananakea hou kona maka.
23 For, when he seeth his children the work of my hands, in his midst, They will hallow my Name, —Yea they will hallow the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of Israel, will they regard with awe.
A i kona ike ana i kana mau keiki, i ka hana a kuu lima, E hoolaa no lakou i ko'u inoa iwaenakonu ona, E hoolaa no lakou i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iakoba, A e makau no hoi i ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
24 Then will they who erred in spirit comprehend, And the murmurers, accept instruction.
E naauao auanei ka poe i lalau ma ka naau, E ao no hoi ka poe ku e, a o loaa ia lakou ka ike.
