Isaiah 18
1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which [is] beyond the rivers of Cush:
A UWE ka aina eheu kani, Ka mea ma kela aoao o na kahawai o Aitiopa:
2 That sendeth embassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, [saying], Go, ye swift messengers to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation measured by line and trodden down, whose land the rivers have laid waste.
Ka mea i hoouna i na elele ma ke kai, Ma na moku kome maluna o na wai. O hele, e na luna mama, I ka lahuikanaka ikaika, a koa hoi, I ka lahuikanaka weliweli, mai ka wa kahiko mai, I ka lahuikanaka mana i ka luku aku, A halanaia ko lakou aina e na muliwai.
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
E ka poe a pau e noho la ma ka honua, A me na mea a pau e noho ana ma ke ao nei, A hapaiia ka hae ma na mauna, e nana oukou, A kani ka pu, e hoolohe hoi.
4 For so the LORD said to me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling-place like a clear heat upon herbs, [and] like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
No ka mea, penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova ia'u, E hoomaha ana au, a me ka nana aku maloko o ko'u wahi e noho ai, E like me ka mehana olu maluna o na mea ulu, Me he ao hau la hoi i ka wa wela o ka hoiliili ai.
5 For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and take away [and] cut down the branches.
No ka mea, mamua o ka hoiliili ai ana, I ka mohala ana o ka pua, A lilo ka pua i huawaina oo, Alaila, e paipai oia i na lala i na pahi paipai, A e lawe aku no oia i na lala, e paipai aku no.
6 They shall be left together to the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
E waiho pu ia no lakou no na manu o na mauna, A no na holoholona o ka honua; E kau no na manu maluna olaila, a pau ke kau, E noho no malaila na holoholona a pau o ka aina, a pau ka hoilo.
7 In that time shall the present be brought to the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation measured by line and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
Ia manawa, e laweia mai na makana no Iehova o na kaua, He lahuikanaka ikaika, a koa hoi, He poe weliweli hoi, mai ka wa kakiko mai, He lahuikanaka mana i ka luku aku, Ua halanaia ko lakou aina e na muliwai, A i kahi o ka inoa o Iehova o na kaua, I ka mauna hoi o Ziona.
