Isaiah 14
1 [But] Yahweh will act mercifully toward the Israeli people; he will choose [the people of] Israel [to be his people again], and he will allow them to [return here and] live in their own land again. Then people from [many] other countries will come here and unite with the Israeli people.
A LAILA, e aloha mai no o Iehova i ka Iakoba, E olioli hou no ia i ka Iseraela, A e hoomaha ia lakou ma ko lakou aina iho; A e hui pu ia na malihini me lakou, A e hoopili lakou i ko ka hale o Iakoba.
2 People of other nations will help them to return to their [own] land, and those who come from other countries will (work for/become the servants of) the Israeli people. Those who captured people of Israel will be captured by Israeli soldiers, and the people of Israel will rule over the people who [previously] oppressed them.
E lawe na lahuikanaka ia lakou, A e hoihoi ia lakou i ko lakou wahi iho; A e noho no lakou mamuli o ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, I kauwakane, a i kauwawahine, ma ka aina o Iehova; A e lawe pio lakou i ka poe i hoopio ai ia lakou, A e noho alii lakou maluna o ka poe nana lakou i hookaumaha.
3 Some day Yahweh will free you [Israeli people] from suffering and trouble and from being afraid, and from being cruelly treated as slaves [MTY].
A i ka la e hoomaha mai ai o Iehova ia oe, Mai kou pilikia, a me kou poino, A mai ka hana kaumaha i kauia maluna ou,
4 When that happens, you will make fun of the King of Babylon by saying this: “You treated us cruelly, but that has ended! Your insolently causing others to suffer is finished!
Alaila oe e haku ai i keia mele no ke alii o Babulona, I ka i ana iho, Nani ka pau ana o ka mea nana i hookaumaha, Ka pau ana hoi o ka mea auhau i ke gula!
5 You evil ruler, Yahweh will get rid of your power, and you will oppress people no longer!
Ua uhaki o Iehova i ke kookoo o ka poo hewa, I ke kookoo alii hoi o ka poe hookaumaha.
6 You attacked people many times because you were very angry with them, and you subdued/conquered [other] nations by causing them to suffer endlessly.
O ka mea i hahau i na kanaka me ka huhu, He hahau ana me ka hoomaha ole; Hahi no oia maluna o ko na aina me ka ukiuki, He hoomaau hooki ole.
7 [But soon] everything will be quiet and peaceful on the earth. Everyone [PRS] will sing [again]!
A ua malu ka honua a pau, na maha no; Hookani olioli lakou.
8 [It will be as though] even the trees in the forests will joyfully sing this song, the cyprus/pine [trees] and the cedar [trees] in Lebanon will sing it: ‘You (have been overthrown/are no longer a ruler), and now no one comes to get rid of us [MET].’
Hoaikola no hoi na laau kaa maluna ou, A me na kedera o Lebanona, i ae la, Mai kou wa i moe ai ilalo, Aohe mea e pii mai e kua ia makou.
9 The dead people are [PRS] are eagerly waiting for you to come to the place where they are. The spirits of the world leaders will be delighted to welcome you; those who were kings of many nations [before they died] will stand up [to welcome you]. (Sheol h7585)
Ua pihoihoi ka po malalo ia oe, E halawai me oe i kou hiki ana aku. Nou no ia i hoea mai ai i na mea lapu, I na mea mana hoi a pau o ka honua: Hooku ae la hoi ia iluna, i na'lii a pau o na aina, mai ko lakou nohoalii mai. (Sheol h7585)
10 They will all shout to you [together], ‘Now you are as weak as we are!’
A olelo mai no lakou a pau ia oe, i ka i ana, Ua lilo anei oe i nawaliwali, e like me makou? Ua hoohalikeia anei oe me makou?
11 You were very proud and powerful, [but all] that ended when you died, along with the sounds of harps [being played in your palace]. [Now in your grave] maggots will be under you [like a sheet] [MET], and worms will cover you [like a blanket] [MET]. (Sheol h7585)
Ua hoopohoia kou hanohano ilalo i ka po, A me ke kani ana o kou mau lira; O kahi moe malalo ou he ilo ia, A uhi mai no hoi ka ilo ia oe, (Sheol h7585)
12 You have [disappeared from the earth like] [MET] a star which has fallen from the sky; you [were very well-known] [like] [MET] the morning star [which is seen by everyone]; you destroyed [many] nations, but now you have been destroyed.
Auwe kou haule ana mai ka lani mai, E ka Hokuloa, ke keiki a ke kakahiaka! Ua kuaia oe ilalo i ka honua, O oe, ka mea i hooauhee i ko na aina.
13 You [proudly] said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven, to my throne above God’s stars. I will rule on the mountain where [the gods] gather together, far in the north.
Aka, ua olelo no oe iloko o kou naau, E pii aku no wau i ka lani, E hookiekie no wau i ko'u nohoalii, Maluna o na hoku o ke Akua; E noho no wau ma ka mauna o ka halawai ana, Ma na aina loihi aku o ke kukulu akau.
14 I will ascend above the clouds and become like the highest/greatest god!’
E pii aku no wau maluna o kahi kiekie o na ao, E like ana au me ka Mea kiekie loa.
15 [But you were not able to do that]; instead, you were carried down to your grave, and you went to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Ua hoohaahaaia ka oe, ilalo o ka po, A i kahi hohonu hoi o ka lun! (Sheol h7585)
16 The [other dead] people there stare at you; they wonder what happened to you. [They say], ‘Is this the man who caused the earth to shake and caused the [people in many] kingdoms to tremble?
O ka poe ike aku ia oe, e haka pono aku no lakou ia oe, E makaikai aku no ia oe, a e olelo iho, O keia anei ke kanaka nana i hoonaueue ka honua? A hooluliluli hoi na aupuni?
17 Is this the man who [tried to] cause the world to become a desert, who conquered its cities and did not allow the people whom he captured to return to their homes?’
Nana i hoolilo ka honua nei, i waonahele, A anai hoi i kona poe kulanakauhale? Ka mea i kuu ole i kona mea pio, e hoi hou i ko lakou wahi?
18 All the kings of the earth [who have died] were greatly honored when they were buried,
O na'lii a pau o na aina, maloko o ka nani lakou a pau e moe nei, O kela mea keia mea ma kona wahi iho.
19 but your [corpse will] not be buried; it will be thrown away like [SIM] a worthless branch [of a tree]. Your corpse will be under a heap of other corpses of soldiers that were killed by [their enemies’] swords, and [their corpses] were not buried; you will be with those who have gone down to the stony ground in a big pit.
Ua hooleiia'ku ka oe mawaho o kou lua, Me he oha la i hoopailuaia, Me he aahu la o ka poe i pepehiia, Ka poe hoi i houia i ka pahikaua, Me he kupapau la i hahiia.
20 Your [corpse] will not be buried because you have destroyed your nation and have caused your people to be killed. The descendants of wicked people [like you] will never be honored again.
Aole oe e huipuia me lakou ma ke kanu ana, No ka mea, ua hooki loa oe i kou aina iho, Ua luku no oe i kou poe kanaka; Aole e hea hou ia ka hanauna o ka poe hewa a i ke ao pau ole,
21 [People will say], ‘Slaughter this man’s children because of the sins that their ancestors committed! Do not allow them to become rulers and conquer [all the nations in] the world, and fill the world with the cities [that they rule]!’”
E hoomakaukau oukou i ka make no kana mau keiki, No ka hewa o na makua o lakou; I ole lakou e ku mai, a komo i ka aina, I hoopiha ole hoi lakou i ka aina i na kulanakauhale.
22 [This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “I [myself] will cause Babylon to be conquered. I will get rid of Babylon and its people and their descendants.
Na'u no e ala'e iluna e ku e ia lakou, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua; E hooki loa no wau i ka inoa o Babulona, A me ke koena, a me na keiki, a me na mamo, Wahi a Iehova.
23 I will cause Babylon to be a place where owls live, a place full of swamps; I will get rid of it completely [as though] [MET] I were sweeping it with a broom. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.”
E hooili aku au ia wahi no ke kipoda, A e lilo hoi ia i kiowai; A e kahili aku au ia me ke kahili o ka make, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
24 The Commander of the armies of angels has [also] solemnly promised this: “The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].
Ua hoohiki mai o Iehova o na kaua, i mai la, Me ka'u i manao ai, pela io no ia: O ka'u i noonoo ai, oia ke kupaa.
25 [When the army of] Assyria is in my land [of Israel], I will crush them. [It will be as though] I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be the slaves [MET] of the people of Assyria; [it will be as though] [MET] I will take away the burdens that are on their shoulders.
E lukuia auanei ko Asuria ma kuu aina, E hahi no wau ia ia maluna o ko'u kuahiwi; E laweia kana auamo mai o lakou aku, E haule hoi kona mea kaumaha mai luna mai o ko lakou poohiwi.
26 I have a plan for everyone on the earth, a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.
Oia ka manao i manaoia'i no ka honua a pau; Oia ka lima i oia mai maluna ona lahuikanaka a pau.
27 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have spoken, and no one can [RHQ] change my mind. When I raise my fist [to strike Assyria], no one [RHQ] will be able to stop me [from doing that].”
No ka mea, ua paa ka manao o Iehova o na kaua, Owai la hoi ka mea hiki ke hoole? Ua oia mai kona lima, Owai la ka mea e hoihoi aku ia?
28 I received this message [from Yahweh] during the year that King Ahaz died:
I ka makahiki i make ai o ke alii, o Ahaza, keia wanana.
29 You people of Philistia, do not rejoice that the enemy army [MET] that attacked you has been defeated and that their king is dead. He was [as dangerous as] [MET] a snake, but there will be another king, who will be more [dangerous] than a cobra; he will be [like] [MET] a quick-moving poisonous snake.
Mai olioli oe, e Pelisetia a pau, No ka hakiia o ka laau i hahau ia oe; No ka mea, mai ke aa o ka nahesa e laha mai ai ka moo pepeiaohao, A o kana hua hoi, he moo lele.
30 Those of my people who are very poor will take care of their flocks of sheep, and the needy people will lie down safely, but I will cause you people [of Philistia] who are still alive [DOU] to die from famine.
E ai no ka poe hune loa, A e moe no ilalo ka poe ehaeha me ka maluhia; Aka, e hooki loa au i kou aa i ka wi, A e luku aku oia i kou poe i koe.
31 [So], you people of Philistia, wail at the gates of your cities! You should be extremely afraid, because [a very powerful army] will come from the north [to attack you]; [their chariots will stir up the dust like] [MET] a cloud of smoke. Each of their soldiers is ready to fight.
E aoa, e ka pukapa, e uwe aku, e ke kulanakauhale, Ua maule oe, e Pilisetia a pau. No ka mea, ke punohu mai nei ka uwahi mai ka akau mai, Aohe mea helelei o kona poe kaua.
32 If messengers [from Philistia] come to us [Israeli people], this is what we must [RHQ] tell them: “Yahweh has established Jerusalem, [not Philistia], and his people who are oppressed will be safe inside [the walls of] Jerusalem.”
Pehea la e olelo aku ai i na elele o ka aina? Ua hookumu o Iehova ia Ziona, E loaa auanei ka puuhonua no kona poe kanaka poino.
