Isaia 18
1 A UWE ka aina eheu kani, Ka mea ma kela aoao o na kahawai o Aitiopa:
Woe to the land with spreading wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush,
2 Ka mea i hoouna i na elele ma ke kai, Ma na moku kome maluna o na wai. O hele, e na luna mama, I ka lahuikanaka ikaika, a koa hoi, I ka lahuikanaka weliweli, mai ka wa kahiko mai, I ka lahuikanaka mana i ka luku aku, A halanaia ko lakou aina e na muliwai.
That sendeth on the sea ambassadors, and in vessels of bulrushes messengers over the face of the waters. Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation pulled and torn, to a people terrible from their beginning and onward; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
3 E ka poe a pau e noho la ma ka honua, A me na mea a pau e noho ana ma ke ao nei, A hapaiia ka hae ma na mauna, e nana oukou, A kani ka pu, e hoolohe hoi.
All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, when the ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the cornet is blown, hear ye.
4 No ka mea, penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova ia'u, E hoomaha ana au, a me ka nana aku maloko o ko'u wahi e noho ai, E like me ka mehana olu maluna o na mea ulu, Me he ao hau la hoi i ka wa wela o ka hoiliili ai.
For so hath said the Lord unto me, I will take my rest, and I will look down on my dwelling-place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 No ka mea, mamua o ka hoiliili ai ana, I ka mohala ana o ka pua, A lilo ka pua i huawaina oo, Alaila, e paipai oia i na lala i na pahi paipai, A e lawe aku no oia i na lala, e paipai aku no.
For before the harvest, when the blossom is past, and the flower becometh a ripening grape, will he both cut off the tendrils with pruning-knives, and the sprigs will he remove and cut down.
6 E waiho pu ia no lakou no na manu o na mauna, A no na holoholona o ka honua; E kau no na manu maluna olaila, a pau ke kau, E noho no malaila na holoholona a pau o ka aina, a pau ka hoilo.
They shall be left together unto the birds of prey of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the birds of prey shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
7 Ia manawa, e laweia mai na makana no Iehova o na kaua, He lahuikanaka ikaika, a koa hoi, He poe weliweli hoi, mai ka wa kakiko mai, He lahuikanaka mana i ka luku aku, Ua halanaia ko lakou aina e na muliwai, A i kahi o ka inoa o Iehova o na kaua, I ka mauna hoi o Ziona.
At that time shall be brought as a present unto the Lord of hosts a people pulled and torn, and a people terrible from their beginning and onward; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion.
