Isaia 13
1 KA wanana no Babulona, ka mea a Isaia, ke keiki a Amosa i ike ai.
This is the message Isaiah, son of Amoz, received about Babylon.
2 E kau i ka hae ma ka mauna olohelohe, E hookiekie i ka leo io lakou la, e peahi ka lima, I komo lakou maloko o na pukapa o na'lii.
Set up a banner on a bare hilltop; shout out to them; wave your hand to encourage them to enter the palaces of princes.
3 Ua kauoha aku au i ko'u poe i hookaawaleia no ke kaua, A no ka ukiuki, ua hea aku au i ko'u poe koa, Kuu poe olioli me ka hookiekie.
I have ordered the ones I have chosen to attack; I have called my warriors to execute my furious judgment and to celebrate my triumph.
4 Ka hooho ka a ka poe nui muluna o na mauna, E like me ko ka lahuikanaka nui; Ka hooho o ka hui ana o na aupuni, A me na aina i hoakoakoaia. O Iehova o na kaua, e hoolalelale ana ia i ke kaua no ka hoouka.
A noise comes from the mountains, sounding like that of a huge crowd! It's the roaring sound from the kingdoms, from nations gathering together! The Lord Almighty is calling up an army for war.
5 Hele mai no lakou, mai ka aina mamao aku, A mai ka welau mai o ka lani; O Iehova, a me na mea hoopai o kona ukiuki, E anai i ka aina a pau.
They are coming from distant lands, from beyond the far horizons—the Lord and the weapons of his fury—coming to destroy the whole country.
6 E aoa oukou, no ka mea, ua kokoke mai ka la o Iehova; E hiki mai no ia, e like me ka puahiohio, mai ka Mea Mana mai.
Howl in fear, for the day of the Lord is approaching—the time when the Almighty destroys.
7 Nolaila, e lewa wale ilalo na lima a pau, A e maule hoi na naau a pau o kanaka:
Everyone's hands will fall limp, and everyone will lose their minds in panic.
8 E makau ananet lakou; E loohia lakou i ka eha nui, a me ka nahu kuakoko, E nui loa auanei ko lakou eha, e like me ke kuakoko o ka wahine hanau keiki; E haka pono no kekahi i kekahi me ka makau, E like ana ko lakou maka me ka lapalapa ahi.
They will be terrified; pain and anguish will seize them; they will suffer like a woman giving birth. They will look in shock at each other, their faces burning in fear.
9 Aia hoi! ka la o Iehova, ke hele mai la, He weliweli loa no ka ukiuki, a me ka inaina nui, E hoolilo i ka aina i auakua, A e anai aku i ka poe hewa.
Look! The day of the Lord is coming—cruel, with fury and fierce anger—to devastate the land and to wipe out its sinners.
10 O na hoku o ka lani a me na huihui ona, Aole lakou e haawi mai i ka malamalama; E poeleele no ka la i kona hele ana, Aole hoi e hoomalamalama mai ka mahina.
The stars in the constellations of heaven above will not shine. When the sun rises it will stay dark. The moon will give no light.
11 A e hoopai aku au i ka hewa maluna o ka aina, A i ko lakou hala hoi maluna o ka poe lawehala. E hooki no wau i ka manao kiekie o ka poe hookano, A e hoohaahaa hoi au i ka manao haakei o ka poe hookaumaha.
I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their sin, says the Lord. I will put an end to the conceit of the arrogant, and I will humiliate tyrants and their pride.
12 E hana aku au, a e uuku na kanaka, he nui ke gula, He uuku kanaka, he nui na gula o Opira.
I will make people scarcer than pure gold, rarer than the gold of Ophir.
13 No ka mea, e hoonaueue au i na lani, A e kulanalana ka honua mai kona wahi aku, No ka inaina o Iehova o na kaua, Ke hiki aku ka la o kona ukiuki wela.
So I will shake the heavens and make the earth jump out of its place because of the fury of the Lord Almighty, at the time when his anger burns.
14 E like ana hoi ia me ka dia i hahaiia, Me na hipa hoi, aohe mea nana lakou e hoiliili. E huli no kela mea keia mea i kona poe kanaka iho, E holo no kela mea keia mea i kona aina iho.
Like a gazelle being hunted, or like sheep without a shepherd, the Babylonians will return to their own people, they will run away to their own land.
15 E houia na mea a pau i loaa; A o ka poe a pau i huiia'ku, e haule lakou i ka pahikaua.
Anyone who is captured will be stabbed to death; anyone who is caught will be killed by the sword.
16 A e ulupaia ka la kou keiki imua o ko lakou mau maka; E haoia ko lakou hale, A e moe wale ia ka lakou mau wahine.
Their little children will be dashed to pieces as they watch, their houses will be looted, and their wives will be raped.
17 Aia hoi! e hoala no wau i ko Media e ku e ia lakou, I ka poe i manao ole i ke kala; A o ke gula hoi, aole lakou makemake ia mea.
I'm going to get the Medes to attack them, people who don't care about silver or gold.
18 Na ko lakou kakaka e kulai i na kanaka ui, Aole lakou e aloha i ka hua o ka opu; Aole e menemene ko lakou maka i na keiki uuku.
Their bows will slaughter their young men; they will show no mercy to babies; they will have no pity on children.
19 O Babulona, ka mea nani o na aupuni, Ka mea e hanohano ai, a e kaena ai hoi o Kaledea, E like auanei ia me Sodoma a me Gomora, Na mea a ke Akua i hookahuli ai.
Babylon, the most marvelous city of any kingdom, the greatest pride of the Babylonian people, will be demolished by God like Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 E kanaka ole ana ia mai ia wa aku, Aole e noho hou ia, mai ia hanauna, a ia hanauna aku; Aole e kukulu hou ka Arabia i kona halelewa malaila, A malaila hoi, aole e hoomoe hou na kahuhipa i ka lakou hipa.
No one will ever live in Babylon again. It will be deserted—no desert nomad will set up a tent there, no shepherd will bring a flock to rest there.
21 Malaila no e moe ai na holoholona o ka waonahele; A e piha no hoi ko lakou hale i na aoa; E noho no malaila ka iana, A e haa wale na kao hihiu malaila.
Only desert animals will make their homes there, and the ruined houses will be inhabited by wild dogs. Owls will live there, and wild goats will leap around.
22 E hae no na iliohae ma ko lakou halealii, A me na ilio hihiu ma ko lakou mau halelewa. Ua kokoke mai no kona manawa, Aole hoi e hooloihiia kona mau la.
Hyenas will howl in her fortresses and jackals in her lavish palaces. Babylon's time is coming soon—they will not last much longer.
