Isaia 10
1 A UWE ka poe kau i na kanawai hewa, A me ka poe kakauolelo, i kakau i na mea kekee;
Woe to those who make unfair laws, and who, when writing, write injustice:
2 I kipaku i ka poe kaumaha, mai ka hooponoia'ku, A kaili aku hoi i ka pono o ko'u poe kanaka poino, I pio ia lakou na wahinekanemake, A hao wale hoi i na keiki makua ole!
in order to oppress the poor in judgment, and to do violence to the case of the humble of my people, in order that widows may be their prey, and that they might plunder the orphan.
3 Pehea la oukou e hana'i i ka la o ka hoopui ana, Ke hiki mai ka make mai kahi loihi mai? Ia wai oukou e holo ai no ke kokuaia mai? Mahea oukou e waiho ai i ko oukou waiwai?
What will you do on the day of visitation and calamity which is approaching from afar? To whom will you flee for assistance? And where will you leave behind your own glory,
4 I haaleleia e au, e kulou no lakou malalo me na mea pio, A e hina hoi malalo me na mea i lukuia. Aole nae i huli aku kona huhu no keia mau mea a pau, Aka, ke o mai nei no kona lima i keia manawa.
so that you may not be bowed down under the chains, and fall with the slain? Concerning all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
5 Auwe ko Asuria! ka laau hahau o kuu ukiuki, A o ua laau hahau la, aia no ia ma ko lakou lima, Oia hoi kuu inaina.
Woe to Assur! He is the rod and the staff of my fury, and my indignation is in their hands.
6 E hoouna aku au ia ia, e ku e i ka lahuikanaka aia, E kauoha aku no wau ia ia, E ku e i ka poe kanaka a'u i huhu ai; E hao aku i ka waiwaipio, a e lawe aku hoi i ka mea i paa; A e hahi ia lakou ilalo, e like me ka lepo o ke alanui.
I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will order him against the people of my fury, so that he may take away the plunder, and tear apart the prey, and place it to be trampled like the mud of the streets.
7 Aole pela kona manao, Aole i noonoo kona naau pela; O ka luku no ka mea iloko o kona naau, A e anai aku i na aina he nui loa.
But he will not consider it to be so, and his heart will not suppose it to be this way. Instead, his heart will be set to crush and to exterminate more than a few nations.
8 I mai la ia, aole anei he poe alii nui ko'u poe alii?
For he will say:
9 Aole anei i like o Kaleno me Karekemisa? A o Hamata hoi me Arepada? A o Samaria me Damaseko?
“Are not my princes like many kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish, and Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 E like me ka loaa i kuu lima na aupuni o na'kua kii, Ua oi aku ko lakou akua kii mamua o ko Ierusalema, A mamua hoi o ko Samaria;
In the same manner as my hand reached the kingdoms of the idol, so also will it reach their false images, those of Jerusalem and of Samaria.
11 Me au i hana aku ai ia Samaria a me kona poe akua kii, Aole anei au e hana pela ia Ierusalema a me kona mau akua?
Should I not do to Jerusalem and her false images, just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
12 A hiki aku i ka wa, e hooki ai ka Haku i kana hana a pau, Maluna o ka mauna o Ziona, a me Ierusalema, Alaila wau e hoopai aku ai i ka hua o ka naau kiekie o ke alii o Asuria, A me ka hookano ana o kona maka hookiekie.
And this shall be: when the Lord will have completed each of his works on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will act against the fruit of the exalted heart of king Assur, and against the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
13 No ka mea, ua olelo mai ia, Ua hana au i keia, i ka ikaika o ko'u lima iho, A i kuu akamai hoi, no ka mea, ua maalea au. Na'u no i hooneenee i na mokuna o na aina, A ua hao aku au i ko lakou waiwai, A e like hoi me ke kanaka koa, ua hoohaahaa wau i ka poe e noho ana.
For he has said: “I have acted with the strength of my own hand, and I have understood with my own wisdom, and I have removed the limits of the people, and I have plundered their leaders, and, like one with power, I have pulled down those residing on high.
14 Me he punana la i loaa'i i kuu lima ka waiwai o na lakuikanaka; A e like me ka hoiliili ana o na hua manu i haaleleia, Pela no wau i hoiliili ai i ko na aina a pau; Aohe mea i upoi ka eheu, Aohe mea i hamama ka waha a ioio.
And my hand has reached to the strength of the people, as to a nest. And, just as the eggs which have been left behind are gathered, so have I gathered the entire earth. And there was no one who moved a wing, or opened a mouth, or uttered a snarl.”
15 E hookiekie anei ke koilipi maluna o ka mea nana e kalai me ia? E haanui anei ka pahiolo maluna o ka mea nana ia e oloolo? Me he laau la i wiliwili i kona mea nana e hapai, E like me ke kookoo hoi i hoala ia ia iho me he mea laau ole la.
Should the axe glorify itself over him who wields it? Or can the saw exalt itself over him who pulls it? How can a rod lift itself up against him who wields it, or a staff exalt itself, though it is only wood?
16 Nolaila e hoouna mai ai ka Haku, ka Haku o na kaua, I ka wiwi maluna o kona poe puipui; A malalo iho o kona nani e puhi ai oia i ka mea aa, E like me ke aa ana o ke ahi.
Because of this, the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, will send leanness among his fat ones. And under the influence of his glory, a burning ardor will rage, like a consuming fire.
17 E lilo no ka malamalama o Iseraela i ahi, A o kona Mea Hemolele hoi i lapalapa ahi; A e puhi no ia, a e hoopau ma ka la hookahi, I kona nahele ooi, a me kona laau kalakala.
And the light of Israel will be like a fire, and the Holy One of Israel will be like a flame. And his thorns and briers will be set ablaze and devoured, in one day.
18 E hoopau loa no ia i ka nani o kona ululaau, A me ka mahinaai hua nui, mai ka uhane a ke kino; A e like auanei ia me ka mea mai hokii loa.
And the glory of his forest and of his beautiful hill will be consumed, from the soul even to the flesh. And he will flee away in terror.
19 E uuku ana no ke koena o kona ululaau, E hiki no i ke keiki uuku ke palapala ia lakou.
And what remains of the trees of his forest will be so few, and so easily numbered, that even a child could write them down.
20 A hiki aku i kela la, O ke koena o ka Iseraela, O ka poe hoi i pakele o ka ohana a Iakoba, Aole lakou e hilinai hou maluna o ka mea nana lakou i pepehi; Aka, e hilinai io no maluna o Iehova, A maluna hoi o ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
And this shall be in that day: those not added to the remnant of Israel, and those who escape of the house of Jacob, will not lean upon him who strikes them. Instead, they will lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 He koena no ke hoi mai, he koena no Iakoba, I ke Akua mana loa.
The remnant of Jacob, again I say the remnant, will be converted to the mighty God.
22 Ina paha i like kou poe kanaka o Iseraela, Me ke one o ke kai, He koena wale no o lakou ke hoi mai; Ua holo ka olelo no ka hoopau ana, E hiki wawe mai ia, me ka pololei hoi.
For though your people, O Israel, will be like the sand of the sea, yet only a remnant of them will be converted. The consummation, having been shortened, will be inundated with justice.
23 He oiaio no, ua holo ka olelo no ka hoopau ana, A na ka Haku no, na Iehova o na kaua e hana mai, Mawaena konu o ka aina a pau.
For the Lord, the God of hosts, will accomplish an abbreviation and a consummation, in the midst of all the earth.
24 Nolaila i olelo mai ai ka Haku, o Iehova o na kaua, peneia, E ko'u poe kanaka e noho la ma Ziona, Mai makau oukou i ko Asuria; E hahau mai no lakou me ka laau hahau, A e hapai no hoi i ke kookoo maluna ou, E like me ka hana ana o Aigupita.
For this reason, the Lord, the God of hosts, says this: “My people, who inhabit Zion: do not be afraid of Assur. He will strike you with his rod, and he will lift up his staff over you, on the way of Egypt.
25 Aka, he wahi manawa uuku no e koe, Alaila, e kaa no kuu inaina, a me ko'u ukiuki hoi. Ma ke anaiia'ku o lakou.
But after a little while and a brief time, my indignation will be consumed, and my fury will turn to their wickedness.”
26 Na Iehova o na kaua e hapai i laau hahau maluna o lakou, E like me ka hahau ana i ko Midiana ma ka pohaka o Oreba: A me ka laau ana i hapai ai maluna o ke kai, E hapai no oia ia e like me kana hana ana i ko Aigupita.
And the Lord of hosts will raise up a scourge over him, like the scourge of Midian at the rock of Oreb, and he will raise up his rod over the sea, and he will lift it up against the way of Egypt.
27 A hiki mai ia la, E laweia'ka kona mea kanmaha, mai koa poohiwi ako, A me kona auamo maluna ako o kou a-i, E hakiia auanei imua o ka mea puipui
And this shall be in that day: his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke will be taken away from your neck, and the yoke will decay at the appearance of the oil.
28 Ua hele mai ia i Aiata, ua hala loa aku i Migerona, Ua waiho no i kana ukana ma Mikemasa:
He will approach Aiath; he will cross into Migron; he will entrust his vessels to Michmash.
29 Ua hele mai lakou ma keia aoao o ke ahua; Aia ma Geba ko lakou wahi moe i ka po: Ua makau ko Rama; ua holo ko Gibea Saula.
They have passed through in haste; Geba is our seat; Ramah was stupefied; Gibeah of Saul fled.
30 E hookiekie i koa leo, e ke kaikamahine a Galima; E hoolohe oe, e Laisa; Auwe Anatota poino!
Neigh with your voice, daughter of Gallim; pay attention, Laishah, impoverished woman of Anathoth.
31 Ua holo o Mademena: Ua hee ka poe i noho ma Gebima.
Madmenah has moved away; be strengthened, you inhabitants of Gebim.
32 Hookahi no la e koe o kona noho ana ma Noba, A e lulu ia i kona lima e ku e i ka mauna o ke kaikamahine o Ziona, I ka puu hoi o Ierusalema.
It is still daylight, so stand at Nob. He will shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Aia hoi, na ka Haku, na Iehova o na kaua, E okioki i na lala me ka weliweli, A e kuaia ilalo na mea kiekie loa, A e hoohaahaaia na mea hookano.
Behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will crush the little bottle of wine with terror, and the exalted in stature will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
34 E kuaia ilalo me ka hao i na ululaau paapu, A e haule hoi o Lebanona imua o ka mea mana.
And the dense forest will be overturned with iron. And Lebanon, with its exalted ones, will fall.
