Isaia 3
1 A IA hoi, o Iehova, ka Haku o na kaua, E lawe ana ia i na kookoo a pau, Mai ko Ierusalema, a mai ka Iuda aku, I ke kookoo a pau ma ka ai, i ke kookoo a pau ma ka wai,
For behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will take away, from Jerusalem and from Judah, the powerful and the strong: all the strength from bread, and all the strength from water;
2 I ka mea ikaika, a me ke kanaka koa, I ka lunakanawai, a me ke kaula. I ka mea kilokilo, a me ka mea kahiko;
the strong man, and the man of war, the judge and the prophet, and the seer and the elder;
3 I ka lunakanalima, a me ke kanaka koikoi, I ke kakaolelo, a me ka mea ike i na hana, I ka mea no hoi i akamai i ka hoowalewale moo.
the leader over fifty and the honorable in appearance; and the counselor, and the wise among builders, and the skillful in mystical speech.
4 E haawi aku no hoi au, e noho na kamalii maluna o lakou, E noho alii no na keiki uuku maluna o lakou.
And I will provide children as their leaders, and the effeminate will rule over them.
5 E hookaumahaia na kanaka, kekahi e kekahi, A me ke kanaka hoi e kona hoa; A e hookiekie no ka mea opiopio maluna o ka mea kahiko, A me ka mea i hoowahawahaia maluna o ka mea hanohano.
And the people will rush, man against man, and each one against his neighbor. The child shall rebel against the elder, and the ignoble against the noble.
6 E lalau no ke kanaka i kona hoahanau o ka hale o kona makuakane, me ka olelo iho, Ea, he aahu no kou, e noho alii oe maluna o makou, Malalo hoi o kou lima keia pilikia.
For a man will apprehend his brother, from the household of his own father, saying: “The vestment is yours. Be our leader, but let this ruin be under your hand.”
7 Ia la la, e hookiekie no kela i kona leo, me ka olelo mai, Aole au e noho hooponopono maluna o oukou, No ka mea, aohe ai ma ko'u hale, aole hoi he mea aahu; Mai hoonoho ia'u i alii maluna o kanaka;
In that day, he will respond by saying: “I am not a healer, and there is no bread or vestment in my house. Do not choose to appoint me as a leader of the people.”
8 No ka mea, ua kulanalana o Ierusalema, ua haule hoi o Iuda; No ke ku e o ko lakou elelo a me ka lakou hana ia Iehova, E hoonaukiuki aku i kona mau maka hanohano.
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah has fallen, because their words and their plans are against the Lord, in order to provoke the eyes of his majesty.
9 O ka ike ana i ko lakou helehelena ka i hoike no lakou; Ke hai nei hoi lakou i ko lakou hewa e like me Sodoma, Aole lakou i hoole. Auwe ko lakou poe uhane! No ka mea, ua lawe mai lakou i ka hewa maluna o lakou iho.
The acknowledgement of their countenance is their response. For they have proclaimed their own sin, like Sodom; and they have not concealed it. Woe to their souls! For evils are being repaid to them.
10 E olelo aku oukou i na mea i pono, e pomaikai lakou, No ka mea, e ai no lakou i ka hua o ka lakou hana ana.
Tell the just man that it is well, for he shall eat from the fruit from his own plans.
11 Auwe hoi ka mea i hewa! e poino no ia; E haawiia'ku nana ka uku o kona mau lima.
Woe to the impious man immersed in evil! For retribution will be given to him from his own hands.
12 O ko'u poe kanaka, o na kamal i ko lakou poe luna alunu, O na wahine hoi ka i noho alii maluna o lakou. E kuu poe kanaka, he poe hoolalau kou poe alakai, A ke hoopau nei lakou i ko oukou mau alanui.
As for my people, their oppressors have despoiled them, and women have ruled over them. My people, who call you blessed, the same are deceiving you and disrupting the path of your steps.
13 Ke ku nei no o Iehova e hoakaka mai, Ua ku no ia iluna e hooponopono i na kanaka.
The Lord stands for judgment, and he stands to judge the people.
14 E hele mai ana no o Iehova e hoopai, I na lunakahiko o kona poe kanaka, a me ko lakou poe alii: Ua hoopau oukou i na pawaina; Aia hoi ma ko oukou hale ka waiwai kaili wale ia o ka poe hune.
The Lord will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and with their leaders. For you have been devouring the vineyard, and the plunder from the poor is in your house.
15 No ke aha la oukou e hookaumaha nei i ko'u poe kanaka? A e anai i na maka o ka poe hune? Wahi a ka Haku, o Iehova o na kaua.
Why do you wear down my people, and grind up the faces of the poor, says the Lord, the God of hosts?
16 Ua olelo mai no hoi o Iehova, No ka laua haakei o na kaikamahine o Ziona, A hele me ka oeoe o na a-i, A me ka makaleho hilahila ole; He hele hooioi ko lakou hele, A kanikani na kupee o ko lakou wawae:
And the Lord said: Because the daughters of Zion have been lifted up, and have walked with extended necks and winking eyes, because they have continued on, walking noisily and advancing with a pretentious stride,
17 E hooolohelohe no ka Haku i ka pikopoo o na kaikamahine o Ziona, E hoike no o Iehova i ko lakou wahi hilahila,
the Lord will make the heads of the daughters of Zion bald, and the Lord will strip them of the locks of their hair.
18 Ia la la, e lawe aku no ka Haku i ko lakou mea e nani ai, I na kupee wawae, A me na upena papale oho, A me na lei o ka a i;
In that day, the Lord will take away their decorative shoes,
19 I na gula pepeiao, a me na kupee lima, A me na pale kalukalu;
and the little moons and chains, and the necklaces and bracelets, and the hats,
20 I na papale hainaka, a me na kaula kupee wawae, I na kaei, a me na hue laau ala, A me na mea pale akua;
and the ornaments for their hair, and the anklets, and the touches of myrrh and little bottles of perfumes, and the earrings,
21 I na komolima, a me na gula ihu,
and the rings, and the jewels hanging on their foreheads,
22 I na aahu kuai nui, a me na holoku, I na kalukalu nui, a me na hipuu kala;
and the continual changes in appearance, and the short skirts, and the fine linens and embroidered cloths,
23 I na aniani nana, a me na palule, I na ribina lei o ke poo, A me na aahu nui.
and the mirrors, and scarves, and ribbons, and their sparse clothing.
24 Ma kahi i aala, e pilau ana no, Ma kahi kaei, he kaula, Ma ke oho owili e ohule ana no, Ma kahi o ka pa-u hanohano, he kaei inoino, Ma kahi maikai e paawela ana no.
And in place of a sweet fragrance, there will be stench. And in place of a belt, there will be a rope. And in place of stylish hair, there will be baldness. And in place of a blouse, there will be haircloth.
25 E haule no kou poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A me kou poe koa hoi ma ke kaua.
Likewise, your most handsome men will fall by the sword, and your strong men will fall in battle.
26 E uwe, a e u hoi kona mau pukapa, A e noho neoneo oia ma ka lepo.
And her gates will grieve and mourn. And she will sit on the ground, desolate.
