Isaia 27
1 I KELA la, me kona pahikaua kaumaha, a nui, a ikaika, E hoopai mai ai o Iehova i leviatana, i ka nahesa lele hoi, I leviatana, i nahesa kekee hoi, A e pepehi no oia i ka moo nui maloko o ke kai.
At that time the Lord will take his sharp, large, and strong sword, and punish Leviathan, the slithering serpent, and Leviathan, the coiled serpent, and he will kill the sea dragon.
2 I kela la, e hookani oukou no ka pawaina.
At that time, sing about a beautiful vineyard.
3 Owau, o Iehova, ke malama aku nei au ia, E hoomau aku au ia ia i ka wai i na manawa a pau. O hoeha mai kekahi ia ia i ka po, a i ke ao paha, E kiai aku no wau ia ia.
I, the Lord, take care of it, watering it often. I guard it night and day so that nobody can damage it.
4 Aohe huhu iloko o'u, Owai ka mea nana e hoonoho i ke kakalaioa, a me ka puakala, E ku e mai ia'u ma ke kaua ana? E hele ku e no wau ia lakou, E puhi no wau ia lakou pu.
I'm not angry anymore. If there are thorns and brambles I would go and fight them, burning them all up,
5 Ina e pili mai oia i ko'u ikaika, A hana mai ia'u ma ka mea e malu ai, E malu io no oia ia'u.
Otherwise they should come to me for protection. They should make their peace with me, yes, make their peace with me.
6 E hookumu no oia i ka poe i laha mai, mai o Iakoba mai, E hoomaka no ka Iseraela, a e mohala hoi, A e hoopiha no ia i keia ao i ka hua.
In the future the descendants of Jacob will be like a tree taking root. Israel will flower and send out shoots, and fill the whole world with fruit!
7 Ua hahau mai anei oia ia ia, E like me kona hahau ana mai i ka poe i hahau aku ia ia? Ua pepehiia anei oia, e like me ka pepehiia o ka poe i pepehi aku ia ia?
Has the Lord hit Israel as he hit those that attacked them? Were they killed like their killers were killed?
8 I kou kipaku ana, e hahau liilii ana no oe ia ia; Ke hoopuehu nae no oia ia ia me ka makani ikaika, i ka la o ka makani mai ka hikina mai.
You dealt with them by sending them into exile, by banishing them. He drove them away with his powerful force, like when the east wind blows.
9 Penei hoi e kalaia'i ka hewa o Iakoba, A he hua no keia a pau e kala'i i ka hala; I kona hoolilo ana i na pohaku a pau o ke kuahu, E like me na pohaku puna i ulupaia, I ala ole mai hoi na kii o Aseterota, a me na'kua kii.
Through this experience Jacob's guilt will be forgiven. The removal of their sins will come to fruition when they take all the pagan altar stones and crush them to pieces like chalk—no Asherah poles or altars of incense will be left standing.
10 Aka, e neoneo auanei ke kulanakauhale i paa i ka pakaua, A lilo hoi i hale haaleleia, a waihoia no hoi e like me ka waonahele. Malaila no e ai ai ka bipi, Malaila no hoi ia e moe ai, A e ai no ia i kolaila muo hou.
The fortified city will be abandoned, its houses as empty and lonely as a desert. Cattle will graze and rest there, stripping bare the branches of its trees.
11 A maloo kona mau lala, alaila, e uhaiia no lakou; E hele mai no na wahine, a e puhi ia mau mea i ke ahi. No ka mea, he lahuikanaka noonoo ole ia; Nolaila, o ka mea nana ia i hana, aole ia e aloha mai ia ia, A o ka mea nana ia i kukulu, aole ia e hana lokomaikai mai ia ia.
Their dry branches are broken off and used by women to make fires. This is a people that doesn't have any sense, so their Maker won't feel sorry for them, and their Creator won't help them.
12 A hiki aku ia la, E uhai o Iehova, mai ka wai o kahawai mai, A hiki aku i ka muliwai o Aigupita, A e hoiliili pakahi ia oukou, E na mamo a Iseraela.
At that time the Lord will thresh the grain harvested from the Euphrates River to the Wadi of Egypt, and you Israelites will be gathered up one by one.
13 A hiki aku ia la, E puhiia ka pu nui, A e hele mai ka poe aneane make ma ka aina o Asuria, A o ka poe i puenuia ma ka aina o Aigupita, A e hoomana lakou ia Iehova, Ma ka mauna hoano ma Ierusalema.
At that time a loud trumpet will sound, and those who were dying in Assyria will return along with those exiled in Egypt. They will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
