Isaiah 30
1 Yahweh says, “Terrible things will happen to you, my people who rebel against me. You make plans, but what you plan is not what I want. You have made an alliance [with the rulers of Egypt], but you did not ask my Spirit [if that was what you should do]. By doing that, you have increased the number of your sins.
A UWE na keiki kipi, wahi a Iehova, Ka poe i hooholo manao, aole nae ma o'u nei; Ka poe i ninini i na mohai ninini, aole nae ma ko'u uhane, I kui aku ai lakou i kekahi hewa mo kekahi hewa;
2 You went to Egypt [to ask their rulers for help], without asking for my advice. You have trusted in [the army of] the king of Egypt to protect you; you have [trusted in them] [like] people sit in the shade [to protect themselves from the sun] [MET].
Ka poe i hele ilalo i Aigupita, Aole nae i ninau ma kuu waha; A hooikaika lakou ia lakou iho ma ka ikaika o Parao, A hilinai aku ma ke aka o Aigupita.
3 [But] the result of your trusting in the king of Egypt is that you will be [disappointed and] disgraced; because of trusting in him, you will be humiliated.
E lilo no ka ikaika o Parao i mea e hilahila ai oukou, A me ka hilinai ana i ke aka o Aigupita, oia kekahi mea hilahila.
4 Officials/ambassadors [from Judah] have gone to Zoan and Hanes [cities in Egypt to make treaties],
No ka mea, aia ma Zoana kona poe alii, A hiki ae la kona poe luna i Hanesa.
5 but all those [who trust in the King of Egypt] will be humiliated, because that nation will not be able to help you; the treaty that you have made [requesting help from them] will be useless; instead, the result will be that you will be humiliated and disgraced [DOU].”
Hilahila no lakou a pau i ka lahuikanaka hiki ole ke kokua ia lakou, Aole alu pu, aole kokua, Aka, he mea hilahila, he mea hoi e hoowahawahaia'i.
6 [I received from Yahweh] this message about the animals in the southern part of Judah: That area is one where [people experience a lot of] troubles and difficulties, an area where there are male and female lions and various kinds of poisonous snakes. Caravans go through that area taking donkeys and camels loaded with valuable goods. [They are taking them] to Egypt to seek for protection [by the army of Egypt], [but] it will be useless.
Ua kaumaha na holoholona o ke kukulu hema, O na mea hali, no ka aina e kaniuhu ai, a e eha ai hoi, Ma kahi o ka liona wahine, a me ka liona kane, Ka moonihoawa, a me ka moolele; Lawe no lakou i ko lakou waiwai ma ke kua o na hoki opiopio, A me ko lakou ukana hoi, ma na puu o na kamelo, E lilo i na kanaka kokua ole ia lakou.
7 The promises made by [the king of] Egypt are worthless; therefore I call Egypt ‘the sea monster/dragon that does nothing’.
Ua lapuwale ko Aigupita, make hewa ko lakou hooikaika ana, Nolaila au i kapa aku ai ia ia, o Huhuahoopalaleha.
8 Yahweh told me to write on a scroll a message, in order that it would be a witness [to the people of Judah] that would endure forever.
O hele hoi, e palapala ia mea ma ka papa imua o lakou, A e kahakaha hoi ma ka buke, I mea no na la mahope, no na manawa, mau loa aku:
9 [It would remind them] that they are deceitful and always rebelling against Yahweh; they refuse to pay attention to what he tells/teaches them.
No ka mea, he poe kanaka kipi keia, He poe keiki wahahee, He poe kamalii hoolohe ole i ke kanawai o Iehova:
10 They tell the people who see/receive visions [from Yahweh], “Stop seeing visions!” They tell the prophets, “Do not reveal to us what is right! Tell us pleasant things; do not tell us visions about things that are true!
He poe olelo i na mea ike, Mai ike oukou; A i na kaula hoi, Mai wanana mai oukou ia makou i na mea pono, E hai mai ia makou i na mea oluolu, E wanana mai i na mea hoopunipuni:
11 Stop doing what you have been doing [DOU]; stop telling us what the Holy One of Israel [says to us]!”
E kapae ae iwaho o ke alanui, E huli ae mawaho o ke kuamoo, E hoihoi aku i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela, mai ko makou alo aku.
12 Therefore, this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “You have rejected my message, and you are relying on those who oppress and deceive others.
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela peneia, No ko oukou hoowahawaha ana i keia olelo, A ua hilinai aku i ka alunu, a me ke kekee, A ua hio ma ia mau mea;
13 Therefore, the result of your sin [of rejecting me] will be that you will [suddenly experience disasters]; what will happen to you will be like [SIM] a cracked wall that suddenly collapses [DOU].
No ia mea, e lilo ai keia hewa ia oukou, E like me kahi i naha o ka pa e hiolo ana, He wahi hio o ka pa kiekie, E hiolo hiki wawe, ma ke sekona no.
14 You will be smashed like a clay jar is smashed [when it is dropped], and it shatters completely, with the result that there is not one piece big enough to carry some coals from a stove or to carry a little bit of water from a well.”
E naha no ia e like me ka naha ana o ka ipulepo o na potera, E nahaha io no, aole ia e aloha mai; Maloko o na mea naha, aole e loaa kekahi apana, E lawe ai i ko ahi enaena, A e huki hoi i ka wai o ka luawai.
15 Yahweh, [our] God, the Holy One of Israel, [also] says this: “You will be rescued [from your enemies only] if you repent and trust [in what I will do for you]; you will be strong [only] if you quit worrying and trust in me. But you do not want [to do that].
No ka mea, penei i olelo mai ai ka Haku, O Iehova, ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela, Ma ka huli ana mai a me ka hoomaha oukou e ola'i; Ma ka noho malie, a ma ka hilinai mai, malaila ko oukou ikaika; Aole nae oukou i ae mai.
16 You said, ‘No, we will escape on horses [that the army of Egypt will give us]!’ So, you will [try to] flee. You said, ‘We will [escape from the army of Assyria] by riding on swift horses!’ [But] those who pursue you will [also ride] swiftly.
A olelo mai no oukou, Aole; Aka, e holo no makou maluna o na lio; Nolaila, e holo io no oukou; E holo makou maluna o na mea mama; Nolaila, e mama'i ka poe hahai ia oukou.
17 [As a result], 1,000 [of you] will flee when [only] one of them pursues you! When only five [of their soldiers] threaten [to kill you], [all of] will flee. [Only a few of] you will be left, like [SIM] a [single] flagpole on top of a mountain with one signal flag on the pole.”
E hee no kekahi tausani o oukou, No ka papa ana o ka mea hookahi; No ka papa ana o na mea elima e hee ai oukou; A waihoia oukou, e like me ke kia ma ka piko o ke kuahiwi, Me he hae la hoi maluna o ka puu.
18 [But] wants to be kind to you; he desires to show you that he is merciful. [Do not forget that] Yahweh is a God who acts justly; he is pleased with those who patiently trust in him.
Nolaila, e kakali no o Iehova, i lokomaikai oia ia oukou, Nolaila, e hiilaniia oia, ma ka hana maikai aku ia oukou: No ka mea, he Akua hooponopono o Iehova; Pomaikai ka poe a pau i hilinai aku ia ia.
19 You people who live in Jerusalem [DOU], [some day] you will not cry any more. Yahweh will be kind to you when you call out to him for help. He will answer/help you as soon as he hears you call.
No ka mea, e noho no na kanaka o Ziona ma Ierusalema; Aole loa hoi oukou e uwe hou aku; E lokomaikai loa aku oia i ka leo o kou kahea ana, A lohe oia, e ae mai no ia oe.
20 Although [now] Yahweh has caused you to [daily] experience [MET] great troubles and suffer much, [he], your teacher, will not hide himself from you. He [SYN] will teach you many things clearly.
Ua haawi mai no ka Haku ia oukou i ka berena o ka popilikia, A me ka wai o ke kaumaha, Aka, aole e lawe hou ia'ku kau poe kumuao, E ike aku no kou mau maka i na kumuao:
21 And you will hear him speak to you to guide you. [Right] behind you he will say, “This is the road on which you should walk; walk on this road!”
E lohe no kou mau pepeiao i ka olelo mahope ou, i ka i ana mai, Eia ke ala, e hele maloko olaila, Ina paha oukou e huli ma ka akau, A ina paha oukou e huli ma ka hema,
22 When that happens, you will destroy [all] your idols that are covered with silver or gold. You will throw them away like you throw away a filthy rag, and you will say to them, “We do not need you any more!”
E hoohaumia no hoi oukou i ke poi kala o ko oukou mau kii i kalaiia, A me ka wahi gula o kou mau kii hooheheeia; E kiola ana oukou ia, e like me ka welu pea, A e olelo ana no oe ia ia, Hele pela,
23 [If you do that], Yahweh will bless you by giving you good rain at the time that you plant your crops. You will have good harvests, and plenty of pasture with grass for your cattle to eat.
Alaila e haawi mai no oia i ka ua no kau hua, Ka mea au e kanu ai ma ka lepo; A me ka berena hoi no ka hua ana mai o ka lepo, A e momona no ia, a mahuahua ka maikai; E ai no kou mau holoholona ia la ma na kula palahalaha.
24 After the wind [blows away the chaff], the oxen and donkeys that [pull the plow to] plow your ground will have good grain to eat.
O na bipi kauo hoi, a me na hoki opiopio, Na mea i hana ma ka aina, E ai no lakou i ka ai i miko i ka paakai, Ka mea i peahiia i ka peahi a me ke kanana.
25 At that time, when [your enemies] have been slaughtered and their towers have (collapsed/been destroyed), there will be streams flowing down every hill and mountain [in Judah].
A maluna o na kuahiwi kiekie a pau, A maluna hoi o na puu kiekie a pau, E loaa no na kahawai, a me ka wai e kahe ana, I ka la o ka make nui, I ka haule ana o na halekiai.
26 The moon will seem to shine as brightly as the sun, and the sun will seem to shine seven times as brightly as previously. That is what it will be like when Yahweh causes [the suffering of] his people [to cease; it will be as though] [MET] he will be putting bandages on their wounds and healing them.
A e like auanei ka malamalama o ka mahina, Me ka malamalama o ka la, A e pahiku no ka malamalama o ka la, E like me ka malamalama o na la ekiku, I ka la e wahi ai o Iehova i ka eha o kona poe kanaka, A hoola hoi i ka eha o ko lakou hahauia.
27 [It is as though] we see Yahweh coming from far away; he is extremely angry, and there are thick clouds of smoke around him. By what he says [MTY] he shows that he is angry; what he says is like [SIM] a devastating/destructive fire.
Aia hoi, ke hele mai nei ka inoa o Iehova mai kahi loihi mai, Ua wela kona ukiuki, a nui loa ke a ana; Ua piha kona mau lehelehe i ka inaina, A ua like no kona elelo me ke ahi e hoopau ana.
28 His breath is like [SIM] a flood that covers [his enemies] up to their necks. He will separate [MET] the nations in order to destroy [some of them]; [it is as though] he will put hooks in their mouths and take them away.
Ua like kona hanu me ka waikahe e holo moku ana, E pii no ia a waenakonu o ka a-i, E kanana i na lahuikanaka i ko kanana o ka make; Aia ma na iwia o na kanaka he kaulawaha e alakai hewa ana.
29 But [his people] will sing joyfully like they sing during the nights when they celebrate a holy festival. They will be very joyful, like [SIM] [a large group of his people] are joyful when they go up to Zion Hill in Jerusalem, along with men playing flutes [when they are all going there to worship Yahweh]. He is [like] [MET] a huge rock under which [we] Israeli people [are safe].
He mele no ko oukou, E like me ko ka po i ka wa e malama ai i ka ahaaina; He olioli o ka naau, e like me ka mea hele mamuli o ka hokiokio, A hiki aku i ka mauna o Iehova, i ka pohaku hoi o ka Iseraela.
30 And Yahweh will enable [us] to hear him speaking powerfully/majestically. He will show us that he [SYN] is very powerful. [We] will see him [SYN] smash [his enemies]. Being very angry, he will descend with a big rainstorm and thunder and hail [to punish them].
O Iehova ka mea e loheia'i kona leo nani, E hoike aku no oia i ka iho ana o kona lima, Me ka ukiuki o ka inaina, A me ka lapalapa o ke ahi e hoopau ana, O ka ua nui, a me ka ino, a me ka huahekili.
31 [The soldiers of] Assyria will be terrified when they hear the voice of Yahweh and when he strikes them with his rod.
No ka mea, ma ka leo o Iehova, E moku loa auanei ko Asuria, Me ka laau e hahau no ia.
32 And while Yahweh strikes them to punish them, [his people] will [celebrate by] playing tambourines and harps. [It will be as though] Yahweh will lift up his powerful hand/arm and defeat the Assyrian army in battle.
Ma na wahi a pau e hiki aku ai ka laau hoopai, Ka mea a Iehova e kau ai maluna ona, O na pahu kani no kekahi, a me na mea kani; A e kaua no oia ia ia me ke kaua weliweli.
33 [The valley of] Topheth [outside Jerusalem] has been prepared for a long time; it is ready for the king [of Assyria]; the (funeral pyre/pile of wood) [for burning his body] is wide and high, and [it will be as though] Yahweh will light the fire with his breath, which will come out like a stream of burning sulfur.
No ka mea, ua hoomakaukau kahiko ia o Topeta, No ko alii hoi ia i hoomakaukauia'i; Ua hana oia ia wahi a hohonu, a ua nui hoi; He wahi ahi, a ua nui hoi ka wahie, Na ka hanu no o Iehova e hoa iho, E like me ka luaipele e kahe ana.
