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.
Behold, Jehovah emptieth and draineth the land; Yea, he turneth it upside down, and scattereth 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.
As with the people, so is it with the priest; As with the servant, so with the master; As with the maid, so with the mistress; As with the buyer, so with the seller; As with the borrower, so with the lender; As with the usurer, so with the giver of usury.
3 E hooneoneo loa ia ka aina, e anai loa ia'ku no, No ka mea, na Iehova i olelo mai ia olelo.
The land is utterly emptied and utterly plundered; For Jehovah hath spoken this word.
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 land mourneth, and withereth; The world languisheth, and withereth; The nobles of the people of the land do languish.
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 land was polluted under its inhabitants, Because they transgressed the law, they violated the statutes, They broke the everlasting covenant.
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.
Therefore a curse devoured the land; Its inhabitants suffered for their guilt; Therefore are the inhabitants of the land consumed with heat, And few of the men are left.
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 mourneth; The vine languisheth; All that were of a joyful heart do sigh;
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 mirth of tabrets ceaseth; The noise of them that rejoice is at an end; The joy of the harp ceaseth.
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.
No more do they drink wine with the song; Strong drink is bitter to them that use it.
10 Ua wawahiia ke kulanakauhale neoneo; Ua paniia na hale a pau, aohe mea komo iloko.
The city of desolation is broken down; Every house is closed, so that none can enter.
11 He hooho no ka waina ma na alanui, Ua nalowale ka lealea a pau, Ua oki hoi ka olioli ana o ka aina.
There is a cry for wine in the streets; All gladness is departed; The mirth of the land is gone;
12 E waiho ana no ke kulanakauhale me ka neoneo, Ua kani no ka wawahi ana o ka pukapa.
Desolation is left in the city, And the gate is smitten into ruins.
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.
Yea, thus shall it be in the land, in the midst of the people, As when the olive-tree has been shaken; As the gleaning, when the vintage is ended.
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 shall lift up their voice, and sing; Yea, for the majesty of Jehovah they shall shout from the sea.
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.
Wherefore praise ye Jehovah in the East, The name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea!
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.
From the end of the earth we hear songs: “Glory to the righteous!” But I cry, Alas, my wretchedness, my wretchedness! woe is me! The plunderers plunder; the plunderers seize the spoil.
17 E ka mea e noho la ma ka aina, Aia maluna ou ka makau, a me ka lua, a me ka upiki.
The terror, the pit, and the snare Are upon thee, O inhabitant of the land!
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.
Whoso fleeth from the terror shall fall into the pit, And whoso escapeth from the pit, He shall be taken in the snare; For the floodgates of heaven are opened, And the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 Ua hoonaueue ino ia ka aina, Ua hoohelelei loa ia ka aina, Ua haalulu loa hoi ka aina.
The earth is utterly broken down; The earth is shattered in pieces; The earth is violently moved from her place.
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 reeleth like a drunkard, It moveth to and fro like a hammock; For her iniquity lieth heavy upon her, And she shall fall and rise no more.
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.
In that day will Jehovah punish the host of the high ones that are on high, And the kings of the earth upon 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 shall be thrown together bound into the pit, And shall be shut up in the prison, But after many days shall they be visited.
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 shall be confounded and the sun ashamed, When Jehovah of hosts shall reign in mount Zion and Jerusalem, And his glory shall be before his ancients.
