< Isaiah 7 >

1 And it cometh to pass in the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, gone up hath Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, to Jerusalem, to battle against it, and he is not able to fight against it.
I KE kau ia Ahaza, ke keiki a Iotama, ke keiki a Uzia, ke alii o ka Iuda, hele mai o Rezina, ke alii o Suria, a me Peka, ke keiki a Remalia, ke alii o ka Iseraela, e ku e ia Ierusalema, kaua mai, aole nae i hiki ia lakou ke lanakila maluna o ia wahi.
2 And it is declared to the house of David, saying, 'Aram hath been led towards Ephraim,' And his heart and the heart of his people is moved, like the moving of trees of a forest by the presence of wind.
A haiia mai la i ko ka hale o Davida, i ka i ana mai, Ke hoomoana nei ko Suria maloko o ko Eperaima. Alaila, haalulu ka naau o ke alii, a me ka naau o kona poo kanaka, o like me ka haalulu ana o na laau o ka ululaau imua o ka makani.
3 And Jehovah saith unto Isaiah, 'Go forth, I pray thee, to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-Jashub thy son, unto the end of the conduit of the upper pool, unto the highway of the fuller's field,
I mai la o Iehova ia Isaia, O hele, ano, e halawai me Ahaza, o oe, a me Seariasuba, kau keiki, ma ka welau o ka auwai o ka waipuna luna, ma ke ala e hiki aku ai ke kula holoi lole;
4 and thou hast said unto him: 'Take heed, and be quiet, fear not, And let not thy heart be timid, Because of these two tails of smoking brands, For the fierceness of the anger of Rezin and Aram, And the son of Remaliah.
A e i aku oe ia ia, E ao oe, e noho malie; Mai makau hoi, mai maule kou naau, No na welowelo alua o keia mau momoku ahi, O ka huhu o Rezina, a me ko Suria, a me ko keiki a Remalia.
5 Because that Aram counselled against thee evil, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying:
No ka imi hala o ko Suria ia oe, A me Eperaima, a me ke keiki a Remalia, i ka i ana ae,
6 We go up into Judah, and we vex it, And we rend it unto ourselves, And we cause a king to reign in its midst — The son of Tabeal.
E pii ku e kakou i ka Iuda, e hoopilikia aku hoi, A e mahele ia wahi no kakou, A e hoonoho i ke keiki a Tabeala, i alii maloko ona.
7 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: It doth not stand, nor shall it be!
Ke i mai nei ka Haku, o Iehova penei, Aole e ku keia, aole ia e hanaia.
8 For the head of Aram [is] Damascus, And the head of Damascus [is] Rezin, And within sixty and five years Is Ephraim broken from [being] a people.
O ke poo o Suria, o Damaseko ia, A o ke poo o Damaseko, o Rezina no; He kanaonokumamalima makahiki i koe, Alaila, kahuli o Eperaima, a lilo i aupuni ole.
9 And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, And the head of Samaria [is] the son of Remaliah. If ye do not give credence, Surely ye are not stedfast.'
O Samaria no ke poo o Eperaima, A o ke poo hoi o Samaria, oia ke keiki a Remalia. I ole oukou e manaoio i keia, aole oukou e malu.
10 And Jehovah addeth to speak unto Ahaz, saying:
Olelo hou mai o Iehova ia Ahaza, i mai la,
11 'Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God, Make deep the request, or make [it] high upwards.' (Sheol h7585)
E nonoi oe i hoailona nou, mai Iehova, mai kou Akua mai; E nonoi ma ka hohonu, a ma kahi kiekie paha. (Sheol h7585)
12 And Ahaz saith, 'I do not ask nor try Jehovah.'
I aku la o Ahaza, Aole au e nonoi, Aole hoi au e aa aku ia Iehova.
13 And he saith, 'Hear, I pray you, O house of David, Is it a little thing for you to weary men, That ye weary also my God?
Alaila, i mai la ia, E hoolohe oukou, e ka ohana a Davida, He mea uuku anei ia oukou ke hoopaupauaho i kanaka? E hoopaupauaho pu anei oukou i ko'u Akua?
14 Therefore the Lord Himself giveth to you a sign, Lo, the Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath called his name Immanuel,
Nolaila, na ka Haku ponoi no e haawi mai ia oukou i hoailona; Aia hoi! e hapai ana no kekahi wahine puupaa, A e hanau mai hoi ia i keiki, A e kapa aku no oia i kona inoa, o IMANUELA.
15 Butter and honey he doth eat, When he knoweth to refuse evil, and to fix on good.
O ka waiu paa a me ka mele kana e ai ai, A ike oia i ka hoole i ka hewa, a e koho hoi i ka pono.
16 For before the youth doth know To refuse evil, and to fix on good, Forsaken is the land thou art vexed with, because of her two kings.
No ka mea, mamua o ka ike ana o ke keiki e hoole i ka hewa, A e koho hoi i ka pono, E neoneo e no ka aina o ua mau alii la elua au e makau nei.
17 Jehovah bringeth on thee, and on thy people, And on the house of thy father, Days that have not come, Even from the day of the turning aside of Ephraim from Judah, By the king of Asshur.
Na Iehova no e hoopuka mai maluna ou, A maluna hoi o kou poe kanaka, A maluna o ka hale o kou makuakane, I na la i hiki ole mai ai mamua, Mai ka wa mai o ko Eperaima haalele ana i ka Iuda; I ke alii no Asuria.
18 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah doth hiss for a fly that [is] in the extremity of the brooks of Egypt, And for a bee that [is] in the land of Asshur.
A hiki aku i kela la, Na Iehova no e pio aku i ka nalo, E noho ana ma na welau o na muliwai o Aigupita, A i ka nalo-hope-eha, ma ka aina o Asuria;
19 And they have come, and rested all of them in the desolate valleys, And in holes of the rocks, and on all the thorns, And on all the commendable things.
A e hele mai hoi lakou, a e kau mai lakou a pau, Ma na kahawai olohelohe, a ma na lua o na pohaku, A ma ka nahele ooi a pau, A ma na kula holoholona a pau.
20 In that day doth the Lord shave, By a razor that is hired beyond the river, By the king of Asshur, The head, and the hair of the feet, Yea, also the beard it consumeth.
Ia la la, na ka Haku no e kahi, me ka pahi-kahi i hoolimalimaia, ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, Me ke alii hoi o Asuria, I ke poo, a me ke oho o na kapuwai; A e kahiia no hoi ka umiumi.
21 And it hath come to pass, in that day, A man keepeth alive a heifer of the herd, And two of the flock,
A hiki aku i kela la, E hanai no ke kanaka i ka bipi ohi, a me na hipa elua;
22 And it hath come to pass, From the abundance of the yielding of milk he eateth butter, For butter and honey doth every one eat Who is left in the heart of the land.
A no ka nui loa mai o ka waiu, E ai no ia i ka waiupaa; E ai io no i ka waiupaa a me ka meli, O ka poe a pau i koe ma ka aina.
23 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Every place where there are a thousand vines, At a thousand silverlings, Is for briers and for thorns.
A hiki aku i kela la, O kahi a pau i ulu ai na kumuwaina, he tausani, I kuaiia no na hapalua he tausani, E paapu ia wahi i ka nahele ooi, a me ka laau kalakala.
24 With arrows and with bow he cometh thither, Because all the land is brier and thorn.
Me na pua a me na kakaka lakou e hele ai ilaila, No ka mea, e nahelehele ana no ka aina a pau, I ka laau kalakala a me ka nahele ooi.
25 And all the hills that with a mattock are kept in order, Thither cometh not the fear of brier and thorn, And it hath been for the sending forth of ox, And for the treading of sheep!'
Ma na mauna a pau i olaolaoia i ka oo, Aohe mea hele ilaila, No ka makau i ka laau kalakala, a me ka nahele ooi: He wahi ia e hoouna aku ai i ka bipi, He wahi hoi e hahi ai na hipa.
