< Ezekiel 26 >

1 Almost twelve [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
EIA kekahi, i ka makahiki umikumamakahi, i ka la mua o ia malama, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 “You human, [the people of] Tyre [city] shouted joyfully and said about Jerusalem, ‘[Jerusalem, ] the city from which many traders/merchants went to many nations, is now destroyed. And now people from all over the world will come to us to buy and sell things. Because Jerusalem has now been ruined, we will prosper!’
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, no ka olelo ku e ana o Turo ia Ierusalema, Aia la, ua nahaha oia, ka mea i noho he mau puka no na kanaka; ua huli mai ia ia'u; e hoolakoia au, ua hooneoneoia ia:
3 Therefore, this is what [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am now the enemy of [you people of] Tyre. I will [the armies of] many nations to come and attack your [city], like the waves of the sea beat against the shores.
Nolaila, ke olelo nei Iehova ka Haku, Eia hoi, e ku e au ia oe, e Turo, a e kono au i na lahuikanaka he nui e pii ku e ia oe, e like me ke kai e hoopii ai i kona mau ale.
4 Their soldiers will destroy the walls around Tyre and tear down its towers. Tyre will become a place where people from many nations steal valuable things, [and then the city will be completely destroyed]. Then they will scrape away the rubble and cause the city to become a bare rock.
A e wawahi lakou i na pa o Turo, a e hoohiolo i kona mau halekiai: a e kope hoi au i kona lepo mai ona aku, a e hoolilo au ia ia e like me ka pohaku olohelohe.
5 Out in the sea, Tyre will become an island where men spread [their fishing] nets to dry them. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have predicted it.
E lilo ia i wahi e hohola ai i na upena, iwaenakonu o ke kai, no ka mea, na'u no ia i olelo, wahi a Iehova, a e lilo ia i waiwai pio no ko na aina.
6 The people in small villages on the coast near Tyre will be killed [their enemies’] swords. Then people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’
A o kona mau kaikamahine, na mea ma ka aina, e pepehiia lakou i ka pahikaua; a e ike lakou owau no Iehova.
7 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [is going to happen]: ‘From the north, I am going to bring the most powerful king [in the world], King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, [with his army] to attack Tyre. They will bring horses and chariots, and men who ride the horses [and men who drive the chariots]; it will be a huge army.
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, penei; Eia hoi, e alakai ana au ia Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, ke alii o na'lii, e ku e ia Turo, mai ke kukulu akau mai, me na lio, a me na kaa, a me na hoohololio, a me na anaina, a me na kanaka he nui wale.
8 [In the battles in the small villages] on the coast, their soldiers will kill [many] people with their swords. [Then] they will set up devices to batter the wall around the city of Tyre, and they will build a dirt ramp up to the top of the wall, and they will all hold up shields [to protect themselves from arrows being shot from the ground].
E pepehi oia me ka pahikaua i kou mau kaikamahine ma ka aina; a e hana oia i ka halekaua ku e ia oe, a e hana hoi oia i puu ku e ia oe, a kaikai i ka palekaua ku e ia oe.
9 The king will direct the soldiers who operate the (rams/things) to batter the walls, and who will use their iron bars to tear down the towers in the wall.
A e hoonoho ku e oia i na mea kaua i kou mau pa, a e wawahi i kou mau halekiai me kona mau koi.
10 The king will have a huge number of horses, [the stamping of their hooves will result in] the city being covered with dust. [It will be as though] the walls will tremble because of the noise made by the horses, the [supply] wagons, and the chariots when they enter the city where the walls have been broken down.
No ka nui o kona mau lio, e uhi mai ko lakou lepo maluna ou; i ke kamumu ana o na hoohololio, a me na huila, a me na kaa, e haalulu ai kou mau pa, i kona komo ana'e iloko o kou mau ipuka, e like me ke komo ana o na kanaka i ke kulanakauhale i wahiia.
11 The horses will trample all of the [of the city] with their hooves. The soldiers will kill the people with their swords; and they will cause your strong pillars to (collapse/fall to the ground).
Me na maiuu o kona mau lio e hahi oia i kou mau alanui a pau, a e luku oia i kou poe kanaka me ka pahikaua, a e haule iho na kia o kou ikaika ilalo i ka lepo.
12 They will take away all the people’s valuable possessions and steal the things that the merchants sell. They will tear down the walls of the houses and destroy their fine houses. Then they will throw into the sea the stones [from the walls] of those houses and the timber and the rubble.
A e hao aku lakou i kou waiwai nui, a e kaili aku hoi i kou waiwai kalepa; a e wawahi iho lakou i kou mau pa ilalo, a e hookai hoi i kou mau hale makemakeia; a e waiho iho lakou i kou laau, a me kou mau pohaku, a me kou lepo iwaena konu o ka wai.
13 No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
A e hooki au i ka leo o kau mau mele; aole hoi e lohe hou ia ke kani ana o kou mau kinora.
14 The enemy soldiers will cause the city to become a bare rock and [only] a place where men spread [their fishing] nets. And the city will never be rebuilt. [Those things will surely happen] because [I], Yahweh the Lord, have [that they will happen].’
A e hoolilo au ia oe e like me ka pohaku olohelohe; e lilo oe i wahi e hohola ai i ua upena, aole e kukulu hou ia'ku oe; no ka mea, na'u na Iehova i olelo, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
15 This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say about [the people of] Tyre: ‘When the wounded [people in Tyre] groan and many people are slaughtered and the city is destroyed, [it will surely be as though] [RHQ] the areas along the coast will tremble.
Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei, ia Turo, Aole anei e haalulu na mokupuni i ke halulu ana o kou hiolo ana, i ka wa e auwe ai ka poe eha, a he lukuia hoi iwaenakonu ou.
16 Then all the kings [in the cities] along the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and their embroidered clothes. They will be terrified, and they will sit on the ground, trembling. They will be appalled because of what has happened to the city of Tyre.
Alaila, e iho iho na'lii a pau o ke kai mai luna mai o ko lakou mau nohoalii, a e waiho ae i ko lakou aahu alii, a e wehe ae i ko lakou mau kapa onionio: e aahu lakou i ka haalulu, e noho iho lakou ma ka honua, a e weliweli i kela minute, keia minute, a e pilihua ia oe.
17 Then they will sing a sad song about the city, and they will sing this: “The famous city [APO], in which many [who sailed on] the seas lived, is now destroyed! The people of that city had great power [because they had many ships that sailed] on the seas; they caused all the people who lived near them to be terrified.
A e hoomaka lakou i ke kanikau nou, a e olelo aku ia oe, Ua luku e ia oe, e ka mea i nohoia e na holokai, ke kulanakauhale kaulana i paa maloko o ke kai, oia a me kona poe noho, na mea i hana e weliweli ai ka poe a pau i noho ilaila!
18 Now on the day when that city is destroyed, [it is as though the people in] the areas along the coast tremble and the [the people on the] islands in the sea are terrified because of that city being ruined.”’
Ano hoi e haalulu na mokupuni i kou la e hiolo ai; oia, e weliweli na moku iloko o ke kai i kou lilo ana aku.
19 This is also what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘When I cause the city [of Tyre] to become desolate/empty, like [other] cities in which people no [longer] live, and when I cause the huge waves of the sea to cover it,
No ka mea, ke i inai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aia hoolilo au ia oe i neoneo, e like me na kulanakauhale i noho ole ia, i ko'u hoopii ana'e i ka hohonu maluna ou, a e uhi ae na wai nui maluna ou;
20 then I will bring the people of that city down to be with those who have gone down to where the dead people are, people who lived long ago. I will cause them to remain in the place below the earth that is like old/ancient ruins, with those who have gone down to that pit [previously], and they will never return to the earth, to where people are alive.
I ko'u hooiho ana ia oe ilalo me ka poe e iho i ka lua, me na kanaka o ka wa kahiko, a e hoonoho ia oe ma kahi haahaa o ka honua, ma na wahi neoneo kahiko no, me ka poe i iho ilalo i ka lua, i ole oe e nohoia; a e hoonoho aku au i ka nani ma ka aina o ka poe e ola ana.
21 I will cause them to die in a horrible way (OR, people will be very afraid because of what happens to that city), and that will be the end of (them/their lives). People will search for that city but it will no longer exist. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, declare [will happen].’”
E hoolilo au ia oe i mea e weliweli ai, a, e ole aku no oe: a ina e imiia'ku oe, aole loa oe e loaa hou, a mau loa aku, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
