Isaiah 18
1 Ho, land shadowed [with] wings, That [is] beyond the rivers of Cush,
A UWE ka aina eheu kani, Ka mea ma kela aoao o na kahawai o Aitiopa:
2 That is sending by sea ambassadors, Even with implements of reed on the face of the waters, — Go, ye light messengers, Unto a nation drawn out and peeled, Unto a people fearful from its beginning and onwards, A nation meeting out by line, and treading down, Whose land floods have spoiled.
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 ye dwellers of earth, At the lifting up of an ensign on hills ye look, And at the blowing of a trumpet ye hear.
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 thus said Jehovah unto me, 'I rest, and I look on My settled place, As a clear heat on an herb. As a thick 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 harvest, when the flower is perfect, And the blossom is producing unripe fruit, Then hath [one] cut the sprigs with pruning hooks, And the branches he hath turned aside, cut down.
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 are left together to the ravenous fowl of the mountains, And to the beast of the earth, And summered on them hath the ravenous fowl, And every beast of the earth wintereth on 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 At that time brought is a present to Jehovah of Hosts, A nation drawn out and peeled. Even of a people fearful from the beginning hitherto, A nation meting out by line, and treading down, Whose land floods have spoiled, Unto the place of the name of Jehovah of Hosts — 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.
