Isaiah 24
1 Some day, Yahweh is going to destroy everything on the earth. He will devastate it and cause it to become a desert and scatter its people.
A IA hoi, e hooneoneo ana o Iehova i ka aina, E anai ana oia ia ia; E hookahuli no oia ia ia, a e hoopuehu i kona poe e noho ana.
2 He will scatter everyone— priests and common people, servants and their masters, maids and their mistresses, buyers and sellers, lenders and borrowers, people who owe money and people who are owed money.
E hiki mai auanei keia, E like me kanaka, pela no ke kahuna; E like me ka kauwa kane, pela no kona haku kane; E like me ke kauwa wahine, pela no kona haku wahine; E like me ka mea kuai mai, pela no ka mea kuai aku; E like me ka mea noi, pela no ka mea haawi; E like me ka mea loaa ka ukuhoopanee, Pela no ka mea haawi i ka ukuhoopanee.
3 Nothing that is worth anything will be left on earth; everything valuable will be destroyed. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it.
E hooneoneo loa ia ka aina, e anai loa ia'ku no, No ka mea, na Iehova i olelo mai ia olelo.
4 [Everything on] the earth will dry up and die [DOU]; its important people will become weak and unimportant.
Ke kanikau nei ka aina, ua mae wale, Ua nawaliwali ka honua, ua mimino loa; Ua nawaliwali ka poe haaheo o ka aina.
5 The earth has become unacceptable to Yahweh because the people who live on it have disobeyed his laws; they have rejected the agreement that he intended to last forever.
Ua hoohaumiaia ka aina malalo o ka poe i noho; No ka mea, ua ae lakou maluna o na kanawai, Ua hoololi i na olelopaa, Ua uhai lakou i ka berita mau loa.
6 Therefore, [Yahweh] will curse the earth; the people who live on it must be punished because of the sins that they have committed. They will be destroyed by fire, and [only a] few people will remain [alive].
Nolaila i pau ai ka aina i ka hooinoia, A ua hoopaiia ka poe e noho ana maluna ona; Nolaila e pau ai na kanaka o ka aina me he ahi la, Uuku hoi na kanaka e koe iho.
7 The grapevines will wither, and there will be no [grapes to make] wine. All [the people] who were previously happy will then groan and mourn.
Ke waiho wale la no ka waina hou, Ua mae wale na kumu waina, O ka poe a pau i olioli ka naau, ua kaniuhu.
8 People will no longer play cheerful songs with tambourines, people will no longer play joyfully on their harps, and people will no longer shout noisily [during their celebrations].
Ua oki ke kanikani olioli o na pahukani, Ua pau hoi ka olioli o ka poe olioli ana, Ua oki pu no hoi ke kanikani olioli o ka lira.
9 People will no longer sing while they drink wine, and [all] their alcoholic drinks will taste bitter.
Aole lakou e inu hou i ka waina me ke oli; A e lilo ka wai ona i mea awaawa i ka poe nana e inu.
10 [Towns and] cities will be desolate; every house will be locked to prevent thieves from entering.
Ua wawahiia ke kulanakauhale neoneo; Ua paniia na hale a pau, aohe mea komo iloko.
11 [Mobs] will gather in the streets, wanting wine; no one on the earth will be happy [DOU] any more.
He hooho no ka waina ma na alanui, Ua nalowale ka lealea a pau, Ua oki hoi ka olioli ana o ka aina.
12 Cities will be ruined and [all] their gates will be battered/broken into pieces.
E waiho ana no ke kulanakauhale me ka neoneo, Ua kani no ka wawahi ana o ka pukapa.
13 It will be like that all over the earth: [there will only be a few people still alive], like what happens when [workers] beat all the olives off a tree [and there are only a few left], [or] when they harvest the grapes and there are only a few left [on the vines].
Pela no auanei mawaenakonu o ka aina, Mawaena hoi o na kanaka, E like me ka laau oliva i luluia, E like hoi me ka hooiliili hope ana, I ka wa i pau ai ka hua waina i ka ohiia.
14 But [those who are left alive] will sing joyfully; people [in nations] to the west [of Israel] will declare that Yahweh is very great;
Aka, e hookiekie no keia poe i ko lakou leo iluna, A e olioli aku, E hauoli lakou i ka nani o Iehova mai ke kai mai.
15 people in nations to the east [of Israel will also] praise Yahweh [MTY]; in countries across the sea, people will praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].
Nolaila, e hoomana oukou ia Iehova, ma ka hikina, I ka inoa hoi o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ma na moku puni o ke kai.
16 We will hear [people] in the most distant places on the earth singing praise to [Yahweh], the [truly] righteous one. But [now], I am [SYN] very sad. Weep for me, [because] I have become thin and weak. Terrible things are happening! Treacherous [people still] betray/deceive others everywhere [DOU].
Ua lohe kakou i ke oli ana, mai ke kihi o ka honua mai, He nani ka poe i pono! I aku la no hoi au, Kuu make e, kuu make e! Auwe hoi au! Ke luku nei ka poe luku, O ka poe luku, ke luku nei, he luku ino.
17 You people all over the earth, you will be terrified, and you will fall into deep pits and traps/snares.
E ka mea e noho la ma ka aina, Aia maluna ou ka makau, a me ka lua, a me ka upiki.
18 Those who [try to] flee because they are terrified will fall into [deep] pits, and those who climb out of the pits will be caught by traps/snares. The sky will split open and torrents [SIM] [of rain will fall]; the foundations of the earth will shake.
O ka mea e holo, mai ka uwalaau o ka makau aku. E haule no ia ilalo i ka lua; A o ka mea e pii mai, mai loko mai o ka lua, E paa no ia iloko o ka upiki; No ka mea, ua hamama na puka wai o kulanihakoi, A ua naueue hoi na kumu o ka honua.
19 The earth will split apart and be shattered; it will shake violently.
Ua hoonaueue ino ia ka aina, Ua hoohelelei loa ia ka aina, Ua haalulu loa hoi ka aina.
20 [It will be as though] the earth will stagger like [SIM] a drunk; it will shake like [SIM] a hut [shakes in a windstorm]. It will collapse and not [be able to] rise again, [because] the guilt of the people who rebel [against Yahweh] is very great.
Ua hikaka loa no ka aina, e like me ka mea i ona, Ua luliluli e like me ka moe lewa; Ua kaumaha no hoi kona hewa maluna ona, A hina no hoi ia, aole ala hou mai.
21 At that time, Yahweh will punish the [wicked] powerful beings in the skies and the wicked kings on the earth.
A hiki aku ia la, E hoopai no o Iehova ma kahi kiekie i ka hewa o ka poe kiekie, A maluna o ka honua i ka hewa o na'lii o ka honua.
22 They will [all] be gathered together and thrown into a dungeon/pit. They will be shut/locked in that dungeon/pit, and later they will be punished.
A e hoakoakoa pu ia lakou e like me ka poe paahao, no ka halepaahao; A e hoopaa loa ia lakou maloko o ka halepaahao; A mahope o na la he nui, e hoopaiia no lakou.
23 At that time the light of the moon and the sun will be lessened; [it will be as though] they are ashamed [in the presence of] Yahweh, because he, the Commander of the armies of angels, will rule gloriously (on Zion Hill/in Jerusalem), in the presence of the leaders [of his people].
E hilahila no ka mahina, a e hilahila pu no me ka la; No ka mea, na Iehova o na kaua e noho alii, Maluna o ka mauna o Ziona, a ma Ierusalema, A ma ke alo o kona poe kahiko oia e hooleaia'i.
