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.
A declaration about the desert by the sea. Like stormwinds sweeping through the Negev it comes passing through from the wilderness, 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 distressing vision has been given to me: the treacherous man deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up and attack, Elam; besiege, Media; I will stop all her groaning.
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 my loins are filled with pain; pains like the pains of a woman in labor have taken hold of me; I am bowed down by what I heard; I am disturbed by what I saw.
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 pounds; I shake with fear. Twilight was my desire, but it brought me 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.
They prepare the table, they spread rugs and eat and drink; arise, princes, anoint your shields with oil.
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 this is what the Lord said to me, “Go, post a watchman; he must report what he sees.
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:
When he sees a chariot, a pair of horsemen, riders on donkeys, and riders on camels, then he must pay attention and be very alert.”
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:
The watchman cries out, “Lord, on the watchtower I stand all day, every day, and at my post I stand all night long.”
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.
Here comes a chariot with a man and a pair of horsemen. He calls out, “Babylon has fallen, fallen, and all the carved figures of its gods are broken to 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.
My threshed and winnowed ones, children of my threshing floor! What I have heard from Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, I have declared to 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?
A declaration about Dumah. One calls to me from Seir, “Watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left 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 comes and also the night. If you want to ask, then ask; and come back again.”
13 Ka wanana no Arabia. Ma ka ululaau o Arabia oukou e moe ai, E na huakaihele o Dedana!
A declaration about Arabia. In the wilderness of Arabia you spend the night, you 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 water for the thirsty; inhabitants of the land of Tema, meet the fugitives with bread.
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 have fled from the sword, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the weight 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 this is what the Lord said to me, “Within a year, as a laborer hired for a year would see it, all the glory of Kedar will 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.
Only a few of the archers, the warriors of Kedar will remain,” for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken.
