Isaiah 24
1 Lo, Jehovah is emptying the land, And is making it waste, And hath overturned [it on] its face, And hath scattered its inhabitants.
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 And it hath been — as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maid-servant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
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 Utterly emptied is the land, and utterly spoiled, For Jehovah hath spoken this word:
E hooneoneo loa ia ka aina, e anai loa ia'ku no, No ka mea, na Iehova i olelo mai ia olelo.
4 Mourned, faded hath the land, Languished, faded hath the world, Languished have they — the high place of the people of the land.
Ke kanikau nei ka aina, ua mae wale, Ua nawaliwali ka honua, ua mimino loa; Ua nawaliwali ka poe haaheo o ka aina.
5 And the land hath been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a covenant age-during.
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 a curse hath consumed the land, And the inhabitants in it are become desolate, Therefore consumed have been inhabitants of the land, And few men have been left.
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 Mourned hath the new wine, languished the vine, Sighed have all the joyful of heart.
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 Ceased hath the joy of tabrets, Ceased hath the noise of exulting ones, Ceased hath the joy of a harp.
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 With a song they drink not wine, Bitter is strong drink to those drinking it.
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 It was broken down — a city of emptiness, Shut hath been every house from entrance.
Ua wawahiia ke kulanakauhale neoneo; Ua paniia na hale a pau, aohe mea komo iloko.
11 A cry over the wine [is] in out-places, Darkened hath been all joy, Removed hath been the joy of the land.
He hooho no ka waina ma na alanui, Ua nalowale ka lealea a pau, Ua oki hoi ka olioli ana o ka aina.
12 Left in the city [is] desolation, And [with] wasting is the gate smitten.
E waiho ana no ke kulanakauhale me ka neoneo, Ua kani no ka wawahi ana o ka pukapa.
13 When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the compassing of the olive, As gleanings when harvest hath been finished,
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 They — they lift up their voice, They sing of the excellency of Jehovah, They have cried aloud from the sea.
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 Therefore in prosperity honour ye Jehovah, In isles of the sea, the name of Jehovah, God of Israel.
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 From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, 'Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.' Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Yea, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
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 Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [Are] on thee, O inhabitant of the land.
E ka mea e noho la ma ka aina, Aia maluna ou ka makau, a me ka lua, a me ka upiki.
18 And it hath come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear Doth fall into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the gin, For windows on high have been opened, And shaken are foundations of the land.
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 Utterly broken down hath been the land, Utterly broken hath been the land, Utterly moved hath been the land.
Ua hoonaueue ino ia ka aina, Ua hoohelelei loa ia ka aina, Ua haalulu loa hoi ka aina.
20 Stagger greatly doth the land as a drunkard, And it hath been moved as a lodge, And heavy on it hath been its transgression, And it hath fallen, and addeth not to rise.
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 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah layeth a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the land on the land.
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 And they have been gathered — A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And shut up they have been in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
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 And confounded hath been the moon, And ashamed hath been the sun, For reigned hath Jehovah of Hosts In mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And over-against His elders — honour!
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.
