< Isaiah 23 >

1 The Burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, For it hath been destroyed, Without house, without entrance, From the land of Chittim it was revealed to them.
KA wanana no Turo. E aoa oukou, e na moku o Taresisa, No ka mea, ua anaiia oia, aohe hale, aole wahi e komo ai; Ua haiia mai ia lakou, mai ka aina o Kitima mai.
2 Be silent, ye inhabitants of the isle, Trader of Zidon, passing the sea, they filled thee.
E noho malie, e ka poe noho ma kahakai; Holo ae la ka mea kalepa o Zidona, mai kela aoao ae o ke kai, a hoopiha no ia ia oe.
3 And in many waters [is] the seed of Sihor, The harvest of the brook [is] her increase, And she is a mart of nations.
O ka hua o ka Nile, i ulu ma na wai nui, A me ka ai o ka muliwai, oia kona waiwai; A lilo ia i wahi kuai no na aina.
4 Be ashamed, O Zidon; for the sea spake, The strength of the sea, saying: 'I have not been pained, nor have I brought forth, Nor have I nourished young men, [nor] brought up virgins.'
E hilahila oe, e Zidona, No ka mea, ua olelo mai ko kai, o kahi paa hoi o ke kai, I mai, Aole au i kuakoko, aole au i hanau keiki, Aole au i hanai i kanaka ui, Aole hoi au i malama i na wahine puupaa.
5 As [at] the report of Egypt they are pained, So [at] the report of Tyre.
A hiki aku ka lohe i Aigupita, E nahu hookina lakou, no ka lohe ana ia Turo.
6 Pass over to Tarshish, howl, ye inhabitants of the isle,
E hele ae oukou i Taresisa, E aoa oukou, e ka poe noho ma kahakai.
7 Is this your exulting one? From the days of old [is] her antiquity, Carry her do her own feet afar off to sojourn.
O keia anei ko oukou wahi i hauoli ai, Ka mea i hookumuia i ka wa kahiko loa? Na kona wawae e lawe aku ia ia i kahi loihi e noho ai.
8 Who hath counselled this against Tyre, The crowning one, whose traders [are] princes, Her merchants the honoured of earth?'
Owai ka mea i manao mua i keia ia Turo, I ka mea i hoalii aku ia hai? He poe alii no kona poe kalepa, A o kona poe kuai, he poe koikoi no o ka aina.
9 Jehovah of Hosts hath counselled it, To pollute the excellency of all beauty, To make light all the honoured of earth.
Ua manao mai o Iehova o na kaua ia mea, I hoohaumia oia i ka hanohano o na mea nani a pau, A e hoohaahaa hoi i na mea koikoi a pau o ka honua.
10 Pass through thy land as a brook, Daughter of Tarshish, there is no more a girdle.
E hele oe maluna o kou aina e like me ka wai kahe, E ke kaikamahine o Taresisa, aole kaei i koe.
11 His hand He hath stretched out over the sea, He hath caused kingdoms to tremble, Jehovah hath charged concerning the merchant one, To destroy her strong places.
O aku no oia i kona lima maluna o ke kai, Hoonaueue no oia i na aupuni: Ua kauoha mai o Iehova no Poinike, E hooki loa aku i kona mau pakaua.
12 And He saith, 'Thou dost not add any more to exult, O oppressed one, virgin daughter of Zidon, To Chittim arise, pass over, Even there — there is no rest for thee.'
A ua olelo mai ia, Aole oe e hooho lanakila hou, E ka wahine puupaa i pue wale ia, ke kaikamahine a Zidona; E ku iluna, e hele i kela aoao, i Kitima; Aole nae e loaa ia oe ka maha malaila.
13 Lo, the land of the Chaldeans — this people was not, Asshur founded it for the Ziim, They raised its watch-towers, They lifted up her palaces, — He hath appointed her for a ruin!
Aia hoi ko ka aina o Kaledea; He mea ole keia poe kanaka, A hookumu ko Asuria ia wahi no ka poe i noho ma ka waonahele; Na lakou i kukulu i kolaila mau halekiai, A hana no hoi i kolaila mau halealii; A nana i hoohiolo i na kauhale.
14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, For your strength hath been destroyed.
E aoa oukou, e na moku o Taresisa, No ka mea, ua hoohioloia kou pakaua,
15 And it hath come to pass, in that day, That forgotten is Tyre seventy years, According to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years there is to Tyre as the song of the harlot.
A hiki aku i kela la, E hoopoinaia no o Turo i na makahiki he kanahiku, E like me na makahiki o ke alii hookahi: A pau na makahiki he kanahiku, Alaila, e olioli no o Turo me ka ka wahine hookamakama.
16 Take a harp, go round the city, O forgotten harlot, play well, Multiply song that thou mayest be remembered.
E lawe oe i ka lira, e poai i ke kulanakauhale, E ka wahine hookamakama i hoopoinaia: E hookanikani maikai, e hoonui i ka olioli, I hoomanao hou ia'i oe.
17 And it hath come to pass, At the end of seventy years Jehovah inspecteth Tyre, And she hath repented of her gift, That she committed fornication With all kingdoms of the earth on the face of the ground.
A hiki i ka pau ana o na makahiki he kanahiku, Alaila e nana mai no o Iehova ia Turo, A e hoi hou no ia i kana hana e waiwai ai, A e moe kolohe no oia me ko na aupuni a pau o keia ao, Maluna o ka honua nei.
18 And her merchandise and her gift have been holy to Jehovah, Not treasured up nor stored, For to those sitting before Jehovah is her merchandise, To eat to satiety, and for a lasting covering!
Aka, o kona waiwai loaa, a me kona uku, E laa no ia no Iehova, Aole ia e hoahuia, aole e malamaia ma kahi e; No ka mea, o kona waiwai kuai, no ka poe ia e noho ana imua o Iehova, I mea e ai ai a maona, a i mea aahu nani.
