Isaia 25
1 E IEHOVA, o oe no ko'u Akua, E hapai aku no wau ia oe, E hoolea aku no wau i kou inoa; No ka mea, ua hana oe i na mea kupanaha; Mai ka wa kahiko mai kou manao, He paa a he oiaio.
O LORD, thou [art] my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful [things; thy] counsels of old [are] faithfulness [and] truth.
2 No ka mea, ua hana mai oe i ke kulanakauhale, he puu, I ke kulanakauhale i paa i ka pakaua, he puu opala; I ka halealii o na malihini, i ole ia he kulanakauhale; Aole hoi ia e hana hou ia, a i ka manawa pau ole.
For thou hast made of a city an heap; [of] a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Nolaila, e hoomana'i ka lahuikanaka ikaika ia oe, A e makau no hoi ia oe ke kulanakauhale o na lahuikanaka weliweli.
Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
4 No ka mea, ua noho oe i puuhonua no ka poe hune, I puuhonua hoi no ka mea poino maloko o kona pilikia, He puuhonua no ka ino, he malu hoi no ka wela, I ka wa e ikaika ai ka makani o ka poe hooweliweli e like me ka ino ma ka paia.
For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall.
5 E like me ka piao ana o ka aina maloo, Pela no oe e hoohaahaa'i i ka walaau o na kanaka e, E like me ka wela i pau i ke ao eleele, Pela no e hoopauia'i ke oli ana o ka poe ikaika.
Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; [even] the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6 Na Iehova o na kaua e hana maluna o keia mauna, I ahaaina mea ono, no na kanaka a pau, he aha inu waina kahiko, He mau mea maikai ono loa, he waina kahiko i hanaia a maikai.
And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 Maluna o keia mauna e lawe lilo ai oia i ka pale, I ka mea i uhi ai i ka maka o na lahuikanaka a pau, A me ka pale i uhi ai maluna o ko na aina a pau.
And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
8 E hoopau no hoi oia i ka make no ka manawa pau ole; A na ka Haku o Iehova, e holoi i ka waimaka, Mai na maka a pau aku; E lawe aku no hoi ia i ka hilahila o kona poe kanaka, Mai ka honua a pau aku; No ka mea, o Iehova ka i olelo mai.
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken [it].
9 Ia la la, e olelo no lakou, Aia hoi, o ko makou Akua keia; Ua kakali makou ia ia, a ua hoola mai oia ia makou; O Iehova no keia, ua kakali makou ia ia, E olioli no makou, a e hauoli hoi ma kona ola.
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this [is] our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this [is] the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10 No ka mea, ma keia mauna e hoomaha ai ka lima o Iehova, A e hahiia o Moaba malalo iho ona, E like me ka hahiia o ka mauu maloo ma ka puu opala.
For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11 E hohola aku no oia i kona mau lima mawaena konu o ia wahi, E like me ka mea auau, i halo aku i na lima e au: E hoohaahaa no ia i kona hookiekie, A me ka maalea o kona mau lima.
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth [his hands] to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12 E hoohiolo no oia i ka pakaua o kou pa kiekie, E hana no oia a haahaa, E hoohaahaa no ma ka honua, ilalo hoi ma ka lepo.
And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, [and] bring to the ground, [even] to the dust.
