Isaia 28
1 A UWE ka lei hookiekie o na mea ona ma Eperaima, Ka pua mae wale o kona nani maikai, Ka mea ma ko poo o ka papu momona, O na mea i ona i ka waina!
Woe [to] the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim. And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory, That [is] on the head of the fat valley of the broken down of wine.
2 Aia hoi, ka mea ikaika, ka mea i hooikaikaia e ka Haku, Nana no e hoohiolo ia lakou ilalo i ka lepo me kona lima, E like me ka huahekili e haule ana, E like hoi me ka ino nui e make ai, A me ka wai kahe he nui e holo moku ana.
Behold, a mighty and strong one [is] to the Lord, As a storm of hail—a destructive shower, As an inundation of mighty waters overflowing, He cast down to the earth with the hand.
3 Malalo o na wawae e hahiia'i Na lei hookiekie o na mea ona ma Eperaima.
The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim is trodden down by feet,
4 Ka pua mae wale o kona nani maikai, Ka mea ma ke poo o ka papu momona, E like auanei ia me ka hua mua o ke kau, O ka mea nana aku a ike ia mea, Moni koke no ia i ka loaa ana i kona lima.
And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory That [is] on the head of the fat valley, Has been as its first-fruit before summer, That its beholder sees; He swallows it while it [is] yet in his hand.
5 A hiki aku i kela la, E lilo no o Iehova i lei alii maikai, A i papale alii nani, no ka poe i koe o kona poe kanaka,
In that day YHWH of Hosts is For a crown of beauty, and for a circlet of glory, To the remnant of His people.
6 A i uhane hooponopono maloko o ka poe hooponopono, A i ikaika hoi iloko o ka poe i hoohuli i ke kaua ana i ka pukapa.
And for a spirit of judgment To him who is sitting in the judgment, And for might [to] those turning back the battle to the gate.
7 Ua kunewanewa lakou nei, no ka waina, Ua hikaka lakou no ka inu awaawa, Ua kunewanewa ke kahunapule, a me ke kaula no ka inu awaawa, Ua oki loa lakou i ka waina, Ua hikaka lakou no ka inu awaawa, Ua kunewanewa lakou ma ka hihio, Ua kulanalana ko lakou hooponopono ana.
And even these have erred through wine, And have wandered through strong drink, Priest and prophet erred through strong drink, They have been swallowed up of the wine, They wandered because of the strong drink, They have erred in seeing, They have stumbled judicially.
8 No ka mea, ua paapu na papaaina a pau i ka luai, I ka paumaele hoi, aohe wahi kaawale.
For all tables have been full of vomit, Filth—without place!
9 Ia wai la ia e ao mai ai i ka ike? E hoike mai oia i ka naauao ia wai? I ka poe anei i ukuhiia i ka waiu? I ka poe anei i auaia i ka u?
By whom does He teach knowledge? And by whom does He cause to understand the report? The weaned from milk, the removed from breasts,
10 No ka mea, he rula maluna o ka rula, He rula maluna o ka rula; He loina maluna o ka loina, He loina maluna o ka loina; He uuku ma keia wahi. He uuku ma kela wahi.
For rule on rule, rule on rule, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there,
11 He oiaio no me ka lehelehe namu a me ka olelo o ka malihini, E olelo mai ai oia i keia poe kanaka.
For by scorned lip, and by another tongue, Does He speak to this people.
12 Ia ia i olelo aku ai ia lakou, Eia ka maha e hoomaha oukou i ka poe maloeloe, Eia ka hooluolu; aole nae lakou i hoolohe.
To whom He has said, “This [is] the rest, give rest to the weary, And this—the refreshing”: And they have not been willing to hear,
13 Nolaila i hiki ai ka olelo a Iehova ia lakou, He rula maluna o ka rula, He rula maluna o ka rula; He loina maluna o ka loina, He loina maluna o ka loina; He uuku ma keia wahi, He uuku ma kela wahi; I hele ai lakou a hina ihope, a lukuia, I hoopaheleia hoi, a paa.
And to whom a word of YHWH has been, Rule on rule, rule on rule, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there, So that they go and have stumbled backward, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
14 Nolaila, e hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e na kanaka hoowahawaha, Ka poe e noho alii ana maluna o keia poe kanaka ma Ierusalema.
Therefore, hear a word of YHWH, you men of scorning, Ruling this people that [is] in Jerusalem.
15 No ka mea, ua olelo oukou, Ua hana makou i berita me ka make, Ua hookuikahi makou me ko ka po; A hiki mai ka hahau ana a mahuahua, Aole ia e hiki mai io makou nei; No ia mea, ua hoolilo makou i ka wahahee i puuhonua no makou, Ua huna makou ia makou iho iloko o ka hoopunipuni. (Sheol h7585)
Because you have said: “We have made a covenant with death, And we have made a provision with Sheol, An overflowing scourge, when it passes over, Does not meet us, Though we have made a lie our refuge, And have been hidden in falsehood.” (Sheol h7585)
16 No ia mea, peneia ka olelo ana mai a ka Haku, a Iehova, Aia hoi, ke hoonoho nei au ma Ziona, He pohaku, he pohaku i hoaoia, He pohaku kihi, ua maikai, He poliaku kumu i hoonoho paa ia: O ka mea i hilinai aku ia ia, aole ia e hee.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, I am laying a foundation in Zion, A stone—a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a settled foundation, He who is believing does not make haste.
17 E hoopai pololei aku au ma ke kaula, A e hooponopono aku au ma ka hoailona kupono; A na ka huahekili e hoopau aku i ka puuhonua wahahee, A e halanaia i ka wai, kahi e pee aku ai.
And I have put judgment for a line, And righteousness for a plummet, And hail sweeps away the refuge of lies, And waters overflow the secret hiding place.
18 E hoopauia auanei ko oukou berita me ka make, Aole e kupaa ka oukou kuikahi ana me ka po; I ka wa e hiki mai ai ka hahau ana a mahuahua, E hahiia oukou ilalo e ia. (Sheol h7585)
And your covenant with death has been annulled, And your provision with Sheol does not stand, An overflowing scourge, when it passes over, Then you have been to it for a treading-place. (Sheol h7585)
19 I ka wa e puka mai ai ia, e hoopaa mai no ia ia oukou; He oiaio no e hiki mai ia i kela kakahiaka i keia kakahiaka, A i ke ao no hoi a me ka po; A e lilo no ka lohe wale i mea e makau ai.
From the fullness of its passing over it takes you, For it passes over morning by morning, By day and by night, And it has been only a trembling to consider the report.
20 No ka mea, ua pokole kahi moe, aole hiki ke hoomoe loa malaila; Ua ololi kahi kapa moe, aole hiki ke uhi ia ia iho.
For the bed has been shorter Than to stretch one’s self out in, And the covering has been narrower Than to wrap one’s self up in.
21 No ka mea, e like me ia ma ka mauna o Perazima, Pela no e ala mai ai o Iehova; E like me ia ma ke kahawai o Gibeona, Pela no ia e huhu mai ai, I hana'i oia i kana hana, i kana hana kupanaha hoi; I hoopaa hoi oia i kana hana, kana hana ano e.
For as YHWH rises [at] Mount Perazim, As He is troubled [at] the valley in Gibeon, To do His work—strange [is] His work, And to do His deed—strange [is] His deed.”
22 Ano hoi, mai hoowahawaha oukou, O hoopaa loa ia ko oukou mau kupee; No ka mea, ua lohe au i ka hoopau ana, i hooholoia, Na ka Haku na Iehova o na kaua, i ka aina a pau.
And now, do not show yourselves scorners, Lest your bands are strong, For a consumption, that is determined, I have heard, by the Lord, YHWH of Hosts, [Is] for all the land.
23 E haliu mai oukou, a e hoolohe i ko'u leo, E haliu mai oukou, a e hoolohe i ka'u olelo ana.
Give ear, and hear my voice, Attend, and hear my saying:
24 O ka mea hana me ka oopalau, E hana anei ia i na la a pau e kanu ai? E wawahi ana, a e kuikui ana ia i puupuu lepo o kona aina?
Does the plowman plow the whole day to sow? He opens and harrows his ground!
25 A hana aku oia i ka lepo a maniania, Aole anei ia i lulu iho i ke kumino eleele, A kanu no hoi i ke kumino? A lulu i ka hua palaoa maikai, A me ka bale, a me ka palaoa eleele, Ma kona wahi iho?
Has he not, if he has made its face level, Then scattered fitches, and sprinkles cumin, And has placed the principal wheat, And the appointed barley, And the rye [in] its own border?
26 Ao mai no kona Akua ia ia ma ka hooponopono, A hoike mai no hoi ia ia.
And his God instructs him for judgment, He directs him.
27 Aole i kuiia ke kumino eleele i ka mea kui, Aole i hookaaia ka mea kaa maluna o ke kumino; Aka, ua kuiia ke kumino eleele i ka laau, A me ke kumino hoi i ka laau kui.
For fitches are not threshed with a sharp-pointed thing, And the wheel of a cart turned around on cumin, For fitches are beaten out with a staff, And cumin with a rod.
28 Kuiia no ka palaoa a wali, No ka mea, aole makemake ia i ka hahi loihi ana, Aole hoi e hookaa aku i ke kaa o kona kaa, Aole hoi e hahi aku na lio ona ia mea.
Bread-[grain] is beaten small, For he does not severely thresh it forever, Nor has a wheel of his cart crushed [it], Nor do his hooves beat it small.
29 I puka mai no keia mai o Iehova o na kaua mai, Ka mea kupanaha ma ka noonoo ana, A nui loa no hoi kona ike.
Even this from YHWH of Hosts has gone out, He has made counsel wonderful, He has made wisdom great!
