Isaia 24
1 A IA hoi, e hooneoneo ana o Iehova i ka aina, E anai ana oia ia ia; E hookahuli no oia ia ia, a e hoopuehu i kona poe e noho ana.
Watch out! The Lord is going to destroy the earth, to make it totally devastated. He's going to rip up the surface of the earth and scatter its inhabitants.
2 E hiki mai auanei keia, E like me kanaka, pela no ke kahuna; E like me ka kauwa kane, pela no kona haku kane; E like me ke kauwa wahine, pela no kona haku wahine; E like me ka mea kuai mai, pela no ka mea kuai aku; E like me ka mea noi, pela no ka mea haawi; E like me ka mea loaa ka ukuhoopanee, Pela no ka mea haawi i ka ukuhoopanee.
It will happen the same for everybody—whether people or priests, servants or their masters, maids or their mistresses, buyers or sellers, lenders or borrowers, creditors or debtors.
3 E hooneoneo loa ia ka aina, e anai loa ia'ku no, No ka mea, na Iehova i olelo mai ia olelo.
The earth will be completely laid waste and looted. This is what the Lord has said.
4 Ke kanikau nei ka aina, ua mae wale, Ua nawaliwali ka honua, ua mimino loa; Ua nawaliwali ka poe haaheo o ka aina.
The earth dries up and withers away; the world shrivels up and withers away, the high and mighty people shrivel up along with the earth.
5 Ua hoohaumiaia ka aina malalo o ka poe i noho; No ka mea, ua ae lakou maluna o na kanawai, Ua hoololi i na olelopaa, Ua uhai lakou i ka berita mau loa.
The earth is polluted by its people; they have flouted God's laws, violated his regulations, and broken the eternal agreement with him.
6 Nolaila i pau ai ka aina i ka hooinoia, A ua hoopaiia ka poe e noho ana maluna ona; Nolaila e pau ai na kanaka o ka aina me he ahi la, Uuku hoi na kanaka e koe iho.
That is why a curse is destroying the earth. The people suffer because of their guilt. The inhabitants of the earth are burned up and only a few survive.
7 Ke waiho wale la no ka waina hou, Ua mae wale na kumu waina, O ka poe a pau i olioli ka naau, ua kaniuhu.
The new wine dries up, and the vine withers. All the people celebrating groan.
8 Ua oki ke kanikani olioli o na pahukani, Ua pau hoi ka olioli o ka poe olioli ana, Ua oki pu no hoi ke kanikani olioli o ka lira.
The happy sound of tambourines is over; the noise of the party-goers has stopped; the delightful harp music has finished,
9 Aole lakou e inu hou i ka waina me ke oli; A e lilo ka wai ona i mea awaawa i ka poe nana e inu.
People don't sing any more as they drink wine, and the beer tastes bitter.
10 Ua wawahiia ke kulanakauhale neoneo; Ua paniia na hale a pau, aohe mea komo iloko.
The chaotic city is falling apart; every house is barred shut to keep others out.
11 He hooho no ka waina ma na alanui, Ua nalowale ka lealea a pau, Ua oki hoi ka olioli ana o ka aina.
Crowds on the street are shouting, demanding to have wine. Joy turns into darkness. There's no happiness left on earth.
12 E waiho ana no ke kulanakauhale me ka neoneo, Ua kani no ka wawahi ana o ka pukapa.
The city is in a horrible state of ruin; its gates have been broken down.
13 Pela no auanei mawaenakonu o ka aina, Mawaena hoi o na kanaka, E like me ka laau oliva i luluia, E like hoi me ka hooiliili hope ana, I ka wa i pau ai ka hua waina i ka ohiia.
This is the way it's going to be all throughout the earth among the nations—only a few olives are left after the tree is shaken, only a few grapes are left to be gleaned after the harvest.
14 Aka, e hookiekie no keia poe i ko lakou leo iluna, A e olioli aku, E hauoli lakou i ka nani o Iehova mai ke kai mai.
These survivors shout aloud and sing for joy. From the west they praise the Lord's majesty.
15 Nolaila, e hoomana oukou ia Iehova, ma ka hikina, I ka inoa hoi o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ma na moku puni o ke kai.
From the east they glorify the Lord; from the sea shores they praise the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
16 Ua lohe kakou i ke oli ana, mai ke kihi o ka honua mai, He nani ka poe i pono! I aku la no hoi au, Kuu make e, kuu make e! Auwe hoi au! Ke luku nei ka poe luku, O ka poe luku, ke luku nei, he luku ino.
We hear songs coming from the ends of the earth, singing, “Glory to the God who does right.” But I'm miserable, miserable. Pity me! Deceitful people go on betraying, again and again.
17 E ka mea e noho la ma ka aina, Aia maluna ou ka makau, a me ka lua, a me ka upiki.
Terrors and pit-traps and snares are waiting for you, people of the earth.
18 O ka mea e holo, mai ka uwalaau o ka makau aku. E haule no ia ilalo i ka lua; A o ka mea e pii mai, mai loko mai o ka lua, E paa no ia iloko o ka upiki; No ka mea, ua hamama na puka wai o kulanihakoi, A ua naueue hoi na kumu o ka honua.
Those who run away in terror will fall into a pit-trap, and those who escape from the pit-trap will be caught in a snare. Heaven's windows are opened; earth's foundations shake.
19 Ua hoonaueue ino ia ka aina, Ua hoohelelei loa ia ka aina, Ua haalulu loa hoi ka aina.
The earth is completely broken up; the earth is ripped apart, the earth is violently shaken.
20 Ua hikaka loa no ka aina, e like me ka mea i ona, Ua luliluli e like me ka moe lewa; Ua kaumaha no hoi kona hewa maluna ona, A hina no hoi ia, aole ala hou mai.
The earth staggers to and fro like a drunk, and sways this way and that like a shelter. The guilt of its rebelliousness weighs heavily on it, and it collapses—it won't rise again.
21 A hiki aku ia la, E hoopai no o Iehova ma kahi kiekie i ka hewa o ka poe kiekie, A maluna o ka honua i ka hewa o na'lii o ka honua.
At that time the Lord will punish all the high heavenly beings and the kings of the earth.
22 A e hoakoakoa pu ia lakou e like me ka poe paahao, no ka halepaahao; A e hoopaa loa ia lakou maloko o ka halepaahao; A mahope o na la he nui, e hoopaiia no lakou.
They will be brought together, prisoners in a pit. They will be imprisoned, and eventually they will be punished.
23 E hilahila no ka mahina, a e hilahila pu no me ka la; No ka mea, na Iehova o na kaua e noho alii, Maluna o ka mauna o Ziona, a ma Ierusalema, A ma ke alo o kona poe kahiko oia e hooleaia'i.
The moon will be embarrassed and the sun will be ashamed, for the Lord Almighty will reign in glory on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem in the presence of its leaders.
