Isaia 21
1 KA wanana no ka waonahele o ka moana. Like me ka holo ana o ka puahiohio ma ke kukulu hema, Pela no kona hele ana, mai ka waonahele mai, Mai ka aina weliweli mai hoi.
The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through, so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
2 He wanana weliweli ka i hoikeia mai ia'u; O ka mea e luku aku, e luku aku no ia, O ka mea i anai aku, e anai aku no ia. O pii, e Elama; e hoopuni aku, e Media: Ua hoopau wau i kona uwe ana a pau.
A grievous vision is declared unto me: the treacherous dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, Elam! besiege, Media! All the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
3 Nolaila i piha ai ko'u puhaka i ka eha, Ua loohia au i ke nahu kuakoko, E like me ke kuakoko o ka wahine hanau keiki; Kupaka au i kuu lohe ana, Makau no hoi au i kuu ike ana.
Therefore are my loins filled with pain; anguish hath taken hold upon me, as the anguish of a woman in travail: I am bowed down so as not to hear, I am dismayed so as not to see.
4 Ua kulanalana ko'u naau, Pihoihoi au i ka makau; Ua hoolilo oia i ka po o kuu olioli, I mea weliweli no'u.
My heart panteth, horror affrighteth me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into trembling unto me.
5 E hoomakaukau i ka papaaina, E kiai ka poe kiai, e ai, a inu hoi; E ala oukou, e na'lii, e kahinu i ka palekaua.
Prepare the table, appoint the watch; eat, drink: arise, ye princes, anoint the shield.
6 No ka mea, penei i olelo mai ai ka Haku ia'u, O hele, e hoonoho i ke kiai ma ka hale kiai, E hai mai oia i kona mea e ike ai.
For thus hath the Lord said unto me: Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
7 A ike iho la oia, he mau hololio kaua palua, He holo hoki, a he holo kamelo; Hooikaika loa iho la oia e hoolohe aku:
And he saw chariots, horsemen by pairs, a chariot with asses, a chariot with camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed.
8 A hea mai la hoi ia, me he liona la, E kuu haku, ua ku mau no wau ma ka halekiai i ke ao, Ua hoonohoia no hoi au ma kuu wahi kiai, i na po a pau:
And he cried [as] a lion, Lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights.
9 Aia hoi, hele mai kekahi mau hololio kaua, o na hololio papalua. Olelo mai la, i mai, Ua haule o Bahulona, ua haule; Ua hoohiolo oia i kona poe akua kii ilalo i ka honua.
— And behold, there cometh a chariot of men; horsemen by pairs. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
10 Auwe kuu mea i hahiia, ke keiki hoi o ko'u kahua hahi! O ka mea a'u i lohe ai, no Iehova o na kaua mai, Ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Oia ka'u e hai aku nei ia oukou.
O my threshing, and the corn of my floor! What I have heard of Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
11 Ka wanana no Duma. Hea mai no oia ia'u mai Seira mai, E ke kiai, heaha ko ka po? E ke kiai, heaha ko ka po?
The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
12 Hai mai ke kiai, Ke hiki mai la ke kakahiaka, a me ka po hoi! Ina makemake oukou e ninau, e ninau no; E hoi hou mai.
The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will inquire, inquire; return, come.
13 Ka wanana no Arabia. Ma ka ululaau o Arabia oukou e moe ai, E na huakaihele o Dedana!
The burden against Arabia. In the forest of Arabia shall ye lodge, [ye] caravans of Dedanites.
14 E ka poe noho ma ka aina o Tema, e lawe mai i ka wai, E halawai me ka poe makewai, Me ka berena e kakali ai i ka mea auwana.
Bring ye water to meet the thirsty! The inhabitants of the land of Tema come forth with their bread for him that fleeth.
15 Mai ka maka aku o ka pahikaua lakou e hee ai, Mai ke alo aku o na pahikaua i unuhiia, Mai ke alo aku o ke kakaka i lena, A mai ke alo aku o ke kaua ikaika.
For they flee from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
16 No ka mea, penei i olelo mai ai ka Haku ia'u, Hookahi makahiki e koe, e like me ka makahiki o ka paaua, E pau no ka nani a pau o Kedara.
For thus hath the Lord said unto me: Within a year, according to the years of a hired servant, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail;
17 O ke koena o ka poe i heluia o ka poe akamai i ka pana, O na koa hoi o Kedara, e emi no lakou: No ka mea, ua olelo mai no o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, shall be diminished: for Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath spoken.
