Isaia 22
1 KA wanana no ke awawa o ka ikeana, Heaha kau i keia wa, I pii ai oukou a pau iluna o na kaupaku hale?
A message about the Valley of Vision (Jerusalem). What's happening? Why has everyone gone up onto the rooftops?
2 O oe ka mea i walaau no ka lako, Ke kulanakauhale wawa nui, Ke kulanakauhale olioli; O kou poe i lukuia, aole lakou i lakuia i ka pahikaua, Aole lakou i make i ka hoouka ana.
There are shouts and commotion all over the city with people celebrating. Your dead weren't killed by the sword or in battle.
3 Ua auhee pu aku no kou poe luna a pau, Ua pio lakou i ka poe pana; O ka poe a pau i loaa maloko ou, ua pio lakou, Ua hee no hoi, mai kahi loihi mai.
All your leaders ran away together; they were captured without resistance. All your people trying to escape were captured together, even though they had run a long way away.
4 Nolaila au i olelo ai, E huli ae oukou mai o'u aku nei, e uwe nui loa ana au: Mai hooikaika e hoomaha mai ia'u, No ka lukuia o ke kaikamahine o ko'u poe kanaka.
That's why I said, “Go away! Let me mourn in peace. Don't insist on comforting me as the daughter of my people is ruined.”
5 No ka mea, he la haunaele keia, A me ka hahi ana, a me ka pilikia, Na ka Haku, na Iehova o na kaua ma ke awawa o ka ikeana, Ua wawahiia ka pa, olo ae la ka pihe a kuahiwi.
For the Lord has a day of defeat, of panic and confusion in the Valley of Vision, a day of tearing down walls and crying for help to the mountains.
6 Ke amo nei o Elama i ke aapua, Me na kanaka iloko o ke kaakaua a me na hololio, A unuhi o Kira i ka palekaua.
The Elamites pick up their quivers full of arrows, and prepare their chariots and horsemen, while the people of Kir uncover their shields ready for battle.
7 E piha auanei i na kaakaua kou mau awawa i makemakeia, A e hoomakaukau na hololio e hoouka ma ka pukapa.
Your most productive valleys are now full of enemy chariots; and their cavalry are at your gates!
8 Wehe ae la oia i ka mea i uhi ai i ka Iuda, A ia la nana aku la oe ma ka hale kahikokaua o ka ululaau,
Judah's defenses have been stripped away and so at that time you went looking for weapons in the Palace of the Forest.
9 A ike no hoi oukou i na wahi naha o ke kulanakauhale o Davida, ua nui; A hoohui oukou i na wai o ka waipuna lalo,
You examined the breaks in the walls of the City of David and found there were many. You had water collect in the lower pool.
10 Ua helu oukou i na hale o Ierusalema, Ua wawahi oukou i na hale i mea e hoopaa ai i ka papohaku.
Your reviewed the number of houses in the city and demolished some to provide stone to repair the walls.
11 A hana no oukou i lokowai mawaena o na pa elua, No ka wai o ka waipuna kahiko; Aole oukou i nana aku ma ka Mea nana ia i hana. Aole oukou i manao aku i ka Mea nana ia i hooponopono i ka wa kahiko.
You built a reservoir inside the walls for the waters from the old pool, but you did not respect its Maker or think about the One who planned it long ago.
12 Ia la, hea mai no ka Haku, o Iehova o na kaua, E uwe, a e kumakena, I ka ohule ana, a me ke kaei kapa inoino.
At that time the Lord, the Lord Almighty, was calling you to weep and mourn, to shave your heads and wear sackcloth.
13 Aia hoi, he olioli, a me ka hauoli, E kalua ana i na bipi, e pepehi ana hoi i na hipa, E ai ana i ka io, e inu ana hoi i ka waina: E ai kakou, e inu hoi, no ka mea, apopo e make ana kakou.
Instead, you go on happily partying! You slaughter cattle and sheep so you can have your feasts, eating meat and drinking wine, saying, “Let's eat and drink, because we're going to die tomorrow!”
14 Na Iehova o na kaua i hoike mai maloko o ko'u mau pepeiao, Aole e kalaia keia hewa o oukou, a make oukou, Wahi a ka Haku, o Iehova o na kaua,
The Lord Almighty has made this clear to me: “I will not forgive this sin till your dying day, says the Lord, the Lord Almighty.”
15 Olelo mai ka Haku, o Iehova o na kaua, penei, O hele, a hiki aku oe i keia puuku ia Sebena i ka mea maluna o ka hale, a e olelo aku,
This is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, told me to do. “Go to Shebna, the palace manager, and give him this message:
16 Heaha kau ia nei, a owai hoi kou poe maanei, I kalai ai oe i hale kupapau nou maanei? Ua kalai no oia i hale kupapau nona ma kahi kiekie, Ua pao hoi oia i hale nona maloko o ka pohaku.
‘What are you doing here? Who do you think you are, cutting out a tomb for yourself high up on a hill, carving out for yourself a place to rest?
17 Aia hoi e kipaku no o Iehova ia oe, He kipaku ino loa ana, E oiaio no e uhi mai oia ia oe.
Watch out, you “great man”! The Lord is about to grab you and violently toss you aside.
18 E olokaa no oia ia oe me he mea poepoe la, E kaa aku ana i ka aina palahalaha ma na aoao; Malaila oe e make ai, A malaila e lilo ai kou mau kaakaua nani, i mea e hilahila ai ka hale o kou haku.
He's going to roll you up into a ball, and throw you far away into a vast country. You will die there, and that's where the chariots you were so proud of will remain. You're a disgrace to your lord's royal family.
19 E kipaku aku wau ia oe mai kou wahi aku, Mai kou wahi aku oia e kaili aku ai ia oe.
I will push you out of office, I will strip you of your position.
20 A hiki aku ia la, E hea aku wau i ka'u kauwa, ia Eliakima i ke keiki a Hilekia;
After that I will call for my servant, Eliakim, son of Hilkiah.
21 A e hoaahu aku wau ia ia i kou aahu, A e kaei aku wau ia ia me kou kaei, A e haawi aku wau i kou alii ana iloko o kona lima, A e lilo ia i makua no ka poe e noho la ma Ierusalema, A no ko ka hale o ka Iuda.
I will put your robe and place your sash around him, and I will give your authority to him. He will be a father to the people living in Jerusalem and Judah.
22 E kau no wau i ke ki o ka hale o Davida ma kona poohiwi, A nana no e wehe, aohe mea nana e pani, A nana no e pani, aohe mea nana e wehe.
I will give him the key to the house of David. What he opens, nobody can shut; what he shuts, nobody can open.
23 A e hoopaa aku au ia ia me he makia la ma kahi paa, A e lilo ia i nohoalii nani loa no ko ka hale o kona makua.
I will drive him like a nail hammered securely into a wall. He will bring honor to his family.
24 A e kau no lakou maluna ona i ka nani a pau o ka hale o kona makua; O na mamo, a me na pua, o na kiaha uuku a pau, Mai na kiaha bola maikai a pau, a i na kiaha lepo a pau.
The heavy burden of his father's family will hang on him—all the descendants and the inlaws—all the little containers, bowls and all kinds of jars.
25 A hiki aku ia la, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, E unuhiia ka makia i hoopaaia ma kahi paa, E kuaia ia ilalo a e hina hoi; A e hoopauia auanei ka mea i kauia maluna ona, No ka mea, ua olelo mai o Iehova.
So the time will come, declares the Lord Almighty, when the nail will come out of the wall, even though it was hammered in securely. It will break off and fall down, and everything hanging on it will fall down too. The Lord has spoken.
