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?
The oracle on the valley of vision, —What aileth thee, then, That thou art wholly gone up to the house-tops?
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.
With tumults, art thou filled, thou citadel in commotion! city exultant! Thy slain, are Not the slain, of the sword, Nor the dead 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 thy ruler, having fled, together, by the bow, are taken captive: All found in thee have been taken captive, together, Far away, have they fled.
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.
For this cause, I said—Look away from me, Bitterly, will I weep, —Do not press to comfort me, For the ruin of the daughter of my people.
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 a day of confusion and downtreading and perplexity, pertaineth to My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, in the valley of vision, an undermining of walls, and a crying for help to the mountain.
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.
Yea, Elam, beareth the quiver, With trains of men, [and] horsemen, —And, Kir, hath uncovered the shield.
7 E piha auanei i na kaakaua kou mau awawa i makemakeia, A e hoomakaukau na hololio e hoouka ma ka pukapa.
And it hath come to pass that the choice of thy vales, are full of chariots; Yea, the horsemen, have set themselves, in array, at the gate.
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,
Then removed he the veil of Judah, —Yea thou didst peer on that day, into the armoury of the forest-house;
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,
And the breaches in the city of David, ye beheld for they were many, —So ye gathered together the waters of 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.
And the houses of Jerusalem, ye counted, —And brake down the houses, to fortify the wall;
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.
And a reservoir, ye made between the two walls, for the waters of the ancient pool, —And had no regard unto him that made it, Nor unto him that formed it long ago, had ye respect.
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.
And, when My Lord Yahweh of hosts called in that day, —for weeping, and for lamentation, and for shaving bare and for girding with 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.
Then lo! joy and rejoicing, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine, —Let us eat and drink, For to-morrow, we may die!
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,
Therefore did Yahweh reveal himself in mine ears. Surely there shall be no propitiatory-covering put over this iniquity for you until ye die, Saith My Lord Yahweh of hosts.
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,
Thus, said My Lord Yahweh, of hosts, Come go in unto this steward, Unto Shebna, who is over the house:
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 doest thou here? And whom hast thou here? That thou hast hewn for thyself here a sepulchre, —As one hewing on high his sepulchre, Cutting out in the cliff a habitation for himself?
17 Aia hoi e kipaku no o Iehova ia oe, He kipaku ino loa ana, E oiaio no e uhi mai oia ia oe.
Lo! Yahweh, is about to hurl thee, with a hurl, O mighty man, —And roll thee with a roll;
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 will, toss, thee, with a toss, like a ball, into a country wide on both hands, —There, shalt thou die, And there shall thy glorious chariots be the contempt of the house of thy lord.
19 E kipaku aku wau ia oe mai kou wahi aku, Mai kou wahi aku oia e kaili aku ai ia oe.
Thus will I thrust thee out from thine office, —And from thy station, shall one tear thee down.
20 A hiki aku ia la, E hea aku wau i ka'u kauwa, ia Eliakima i ke keiki a Hilekia;
And it shall come to pass in that day, That I will call for my servant, for 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.
And will clothe him with thy tunic And with thy girdle, will I gird him, And thine authority, will I deliver into his hand, —So shall he become a father To the inhabitant of Jerusalem and To the house of 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.
And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, —And he shall open and none shall shut, And shut and none shall 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.
And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, —And he shall become a throne of glory, to the house of his father;
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.
And they shall hang upon him all the weight of his father’s house—The offshoots and the side-twigs—All the small vessels, Both the cups and all the jugs
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.
In that day, —Declareth Yahweh of hosts Shall the peg, give way, that was fastened in a sure place, —Yea it shall be cut off and fall And the burden that was upon it shall perish, For, Yahweh, hath spoken!
