Isaiah 15
1 [I received] this message [from Yahweh] about the Moab [people-group]: In one night [two of your important cities], Ar and Kir, will be destroyed.
KA wanana no Moaba. A lukuia Ara-Moaba i ka po, ua anaiia; He oiaio, i ka po i lukuia'i o Kira-Moaba, Ua anai loa ia no.
2 The people of Dibon, [your capital city, ] will go to their temple to mourn/weep; they will go to [their shrines] on the hilltops to weep. They will wail because of [what happened to] Nebo and Medeba [towns in the south]; they will all shave the hair of their heads, and the men will cut off their beards [to show that they are grieving].
Pii aku no ia i ka heiau, ma Dibona hoi, Ma na wahi kiekie e uwe ai. E aoa no o Moaba, no Nebo a me Medeba; E ohule no ko lakou poo a pau, E pau no ka umiumi i ke kahiia.
3 In the streets people will wear rough sackcloth, and on their [flat] rooftops and in the [city] plazas everyone will wail, with tears streaming down their faces.
Ma kona alanui e kaei no lakou ia lakou iho i ke hapa ino: Maluna o kona mau hale, a ma kona wahi akea, E aoa no na mea a pau me ka waimaka e kahe ana.
4 [The people of] Heshbon [city] and Elealeh [towns in the north of Moab] will cry out; people as far away as Jahaz [town in the south] will hear them wailing. Therefore the soldiers of Moab will tremble and cry out and they will be very afraid [IDM].
E uwe hamama no o Hesebona a me Eleale; E loheia ko lakou leo ma Iahaza; No ka mea, e uwe aku no ka poe kaua o Moaba, E ehaeha no kona naau maloko ona.
5 I feel very sorry for [the people of] Moab; they will flee to Zoar and Eglath-Shelishiyah [towns in the far south]. They will cry as they walk up to Luhith [town]. All along the road to Horonaim [town] people will mourn because their country has been destroyed.
E uwe nui no ko'u naau no Moaba, O kona poe i pee, aia no ma Zoara, ma Egelaselesia: I ka pii ana i Luhita, pii lakou me ka uwe iho; Oiaio, ma ke ala o Horonaima lakou e uwe at ai no ka make.
6 The water in Nimrim [Valley] will have dried up. The grass there will be withered; the green plants will [all] be gone, and there will be nothing left that is green.
No ka mea, e mehameha auanei na wai o Nimerima, Ua maloo hoi ka mauu, ua pau ka launahele, aohe mea uliuli.
7 The people will pick up their possessions and carry them across Willows Brook.
Nolaila, ua laweia'ku ka waiwai i loaa ia ia, A me ka lakou ukana hoi, a i ke kahawai o na wilou.
8 Throughout the country of Moab, [people] will be crying; people as far away as Eglaim [in the south] and Beer-Elim [in the north] will hear them wailing.
Ua poai kona uwe ana i na mokuna o Moaba; Ua hiki kona aoa i Egelaima, a me kona kaniuhu i Beer-Elima.
9 The stream near Dimon will become red from the blood [of people who have been killed], but I will cause the people of Moab to experience even more [trouble]: Lions will attack those who [are trying to] escape from Moab and will [also] attack the people who remain in that country.
No ka mea, ua piha na wai o Dimona i ke koko: A e kau hou no wau maluna o Dimona, I na liona hoi maluna o ka poe i pakele o Moaba, A me ka poe o ka aina i koe.
