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 doom of the desert by the sea. As tempests in the south blow with fury; so doth it come 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 hard vision hath been told unto me; the traitor dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. “Go up, O 'Elam; besiege, O Media;” all sighing have I caused 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; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I am too much cramped to hear; I am too much dismayed 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 wandereth astray, dread affrighteth me: the evening of my pleasure hath he turned unto me into terror.
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, put on the candlesticks, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and 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 said unto me the Lord, Go, set the watchman, what he seeth let him tell.
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 will see chariots, horsemen in couples, riders on asses, riders on camels; and he shall listen 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 calleth [like] a lion, Upon the watchtower, O Lord, do I stand continually in the daytime, and on my ward am I set all the 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, here cometh a chariot with men, horsemen in couples, and he commenceth and saith, Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods hath he shivered 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 down-trodden [people, ] and the son of my threshingfloor: that which I have heard from the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have I told 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 doom of Dumah. Unto me one calleth out of Se'ir, 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 desire, desire ye; return, come again.
13 Ka wanana no Arabia. Ma ka ululaau o Arabia oukou e moe ai, E na huakaihele o Dedana!
The doom upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye caravans of Dedanim.
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.
Toward him that is thirsty they bring water; the inhabitants of the land of Thema meet with suitable bread the fugitive.
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.
Because from the swords are they fled, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the pressure 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 said the Lord unto me, Within yet one year, like the years of a hired laborer, shall all the glory of Kedar be at an end:
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 bows of the mighty men of the children of Kedar shall be small; for the Lord the God of Israel hath spoken it.
