Isaiah 22
1 [I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Jerusalem, about the valley where [Yahweh showed me] this vision. Why is everyone foolishly running up to their [flat] rooftops?
KA wanana no ke awawa o ka ikeana, Heaha kau i keia wa, I pii ai oukou a pau iluna o na kaupaku hale?
2 Everyone in the city [seems to] be shouting. [There are a lot of] corpses [in the city], [but they] were not killed by [their enemies’] swords. They did not die in battles; [instead, they died from diseases and hunger].
O oe ka mea i walaau no ka lako, Ke kulanakauhale wawa nui, Ke kulanakauhale olioli; O kou poe i lukuia, aole lakou i lakuia i ka pahikaua, Aole lakou i make i ka hoouka ana.
3 All the leaders of the city fled. [But then] they were captured because they did not have bows [and arrows to defend themselves]. Your [soldiers tried to] flee while the enemy [army] was still far away, but they also were captured.
Ua auhee pu aku no kou poe luna a pau, Ua pio lakou i ka poe pana; O ka poe a pau i loaa maloko ou, ua pio lakou, Ua hee no hoi, mai kahi loihi mai.
4 That is why I said, “Allow me to cry alone; do not try to comfort me [about my people being slaughtered].”
Nolaila au i olelo ai, E huli ae oukou mai o'u aku nei, e uwe nui loa ana au: Mai hooikaika e hoomaha mai ia'u, No ka lukuia o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka.
5 The Commander of the armies of angels has [chosen] a time when there will be a great uproar, [soldiers] marching, and people being terrified in the valley [where I received this] vision. [It will be a time when our city] walls will be battered down and [the people’s] cries [for help] will be heard in the mountains.
No ka mea, he la haunaele keia, A me ka hahi ana, a me ka pilikia, Na ka Haku, na Iehova o na kaua ma ke awawa o ka ikeana, Ua wawahiia ka pa, olo ae la ka pihe a kuahiwi.
6 The armies from Elam and Kir [in Media] will attack, driving chariots and carrying shields.
Ke amo nei o Elama i ke aapua, Me na kanaka iloko o ke kaakaua a me na hololio, A unuhi o Kira i ka palekaua.
7 Our beautiful valleys will be filled with [our enemies’] chariots and the men who drive the chariots will stand outside [our city] gates.
E piha auanei i na kaakaua kou mau awawa i makemakeia, A e hoomakaukau na hololio e hoouka ma ka pukapa.
8 The walls that protect [the cities in] Judah will fall down. You [people of Jerusalem] will run to get the weapons [that are stored in the building called] “the Hall of the Forest”.
Wehe ae la oia i ka mea i uhi ai i ka Iuda, A ia la nana aku la oe ma ka hale kahikokaua o ka ululaau,
9 You will see that there are many breaks/holes in the walls of Jerusalem. You will store water in the lower pool [in the city].
A ike no hoi oukou i na wahi naha o ke kulanakauhale o Davida, ua nui; A hoohui oukou i na wai o ka waipuna lalo,
10 You will inspect the houses in Jerusalem, and [some of] them you will tear down to use the stones to repair the [city] wall.
Ua helu oukou i na hale o Ierusalema, Ua wawahi oukou i na hale i mea e hoopaa ai i ka papohaku.
11 Between the walls [of the city] you will build a reservoir to [store] water from the old pool. But you will never request help from the one who made the city; you have never depended on Yahweh, who planned this city long ago.
A hana no oukou i lokowai mawaena o na pa elua, No ka wai o ka waipuna kahiko; Aole oukou i nana aku ma ka Mea nana ia i hana. Aole oukou i manao aku i ka Mea nana ia i hooponopono i ka wa kahiko.
12 The Commander of the armies of angels told you to weep and mourn; he told you to shave your heads and to wear rough sackcloth to show that you were sorry for the sins that you had committed.
Ia la, hea mai no ka Haku, o Iehova o na kaua, E uwe, a e kumakena, I ka ohule ana, a me ke kaei kapa inoino.
13 But instead of doing that, you were happy and celebrating; you slaughtered cattle and sheep, [in order to cook their] meat and eat it and drink wine. You said, “Let’s eat and drink [all that we want to], because [it is possible that] we will die tomorrow!”
Aia hoi, he olioli, a me ka hauoli, E kalua ana i na bipi, e pepehi ana hoi i na hipa, E ai ana i ka io, e inu ana hoi i ka waina: E ai kakou, e inu hoi, no ka mea, apopo e make ana kakou.
14 [So] the Commander of the armies of angels revealed this to me: “I will never forgive my people for sinning like this!”
Na Iehova o na kaua i hoike mai maloko o ko'u mau pepeiao, Aole e kalaia keia hewa o oukou, a make oukou, Wahi a ka Haku, o Iehova o na kaua,
15 The Commander of the armies of angels said this [to me]: “Go to Shebna, the official who supervises the workers in the palace, and give this message to him:
Olelo mai ka Haku, o Iehova o na kaua, penei, O hele, a hiki aku oe i keia puuku ia Sebena i ka mea maluna o ka hale, a e olelo aku,
16 '[Who do you think you are?] Who gave you the authority to build a beautiful tomb where you will be buried, chiseling it out of the rocky cliff high above this valley?
Heaha kau ia nei, a owai hoi kou poe maanei, I kalai ai oe i hale kupapau nou maanei? Ua kalai no oia i hale kupapau nona ma kahi kiekie, Ua pao hoi oia i hale nona maloko o ka pohaku.
17 You [think that you are] [IRO] a great man, but Yahweh is about to hurl you away. [It will be as though] he will seize you,
Aia hoi e kipaku no o Iehova ia oe, He kipaku ino loa ana, E oiaio no e uhi mai oia ia oe.
18 and roll/crumple you into a ball and throw you away into a large distant land. You will die [and be buried] there, and your beautiful chariots will stay there [in the hands of your enemies]. And [because of what happens to you], your master, [the king], will be [very] ashamed/disgraced.
E olokaa no oia ia oe me he mea poepoe la, E kaa aku ana i ka aina palahalaha ma na aoao; Malaila oe e make ai, A malaila e lilo ai kou mau kaakaua nani, i mea e hilahila ai ka hale o kou haku.
19 Yahweh will force you to quit working in the palace; you will be demoted from your important position.
E kipaku aku wau ia oe mai kou wahi aku, Mai kou wahi aku oia e kaili aku ai ia oe.
20 Then I will summon Hilkiah’s son Eliakim, who has served serve me [well], to replace you.
A hiki aku ia la, E hea aku wau i ka'u kauwa, ia Eliakima i ke keiki a Hilekia;
21 I will allow him to wear your robe, and to fasten your sash around him, and I will give to him the authority that you had. He will be like [MET] a father to the people of Jerusalem and [all the other] towns in Judah.
A e hoaahu aku wau ia ia i kou aahu, A e kaei aku wau ia ia me kou kaei, A e haawi aku wau i kou alii ana iloko o kona lima, A e lilo ia i makua no ka poe e noho la ma Ierusalema, A no ko ka hale o ka Iuda.
22 I will give to him authority [MTY] over [what happens in] the palace where King David [lived]; when he decides something [MET], no one will be able to oppose it; when he refuses to do something, no one will be able to force him to do it.
E kau no wau i ke ki o ka hale o Davida ma kona poohiwi, A nana no e wehe, aohe mea nana e pani, A nana no e pani, aohe mea nana e wehe.
23 I will cause his family to be greatly respected, because I will put him firmly in his position [as supervisor of the workers in the palace], like [SIM] a nail that is firmly hammered into a wall.
A e hoopaa aku au ia ia me he makia la ma kahi paa, A e lilo ia i nohoalii nani loa no ko ka hale o kona makua.
24 Others will enable him to have much responsibility, with the result that all the members of his family, even the most insignificant ones, will be honored.'”
A e kau no lakou maluna ona i ka nani a pau o ka hale o kona makua; O na mamo, a me na pua, o na kiaha uuku a pau, Mai na kiaha bola maikai a pau, a i na kiaha lepo a pau.
25 [But] the Commander of the armies of angels also says, “[Shebna is like] [MET] a peg that is firmly fastened to the wall. But there will be a time when I will [remove him from his position]; he will lose his power/influence, and everything that he promoted [MET] will fail. [That will surely happen] because [I], Yahweh, have said it.”
A hiki aku ia la, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, E unuhiia ka makia i hoopaaia ma kahi paa, E kuaia ia ilalo a e hina hoi; A e hoopauia auanei ka mea i kauia maluna ona, No ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova.
