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 Lord, the Eternal of hosts, doth remove from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, every stay of bread, and every stay of 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 hero, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
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 captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the skilful artificer, and the eloquent orator.
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 set up boys as their princes, and children shall 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 so shall the people press man against man, and one against the other: the boy shall demean himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.
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.
When a man will seize hold on his brother in the house of his father, [saying, ] Thou hast a garment, thou shalt be our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy 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;
He will swear on that day, saying, I will not be a chief; and in my house is neither bread nor clothing; you shall not appoint me a ruler 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 sunk to decay, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to incense the eyes of his glory.
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 boldness of their face testifieth against them; and like Sodom they tell openly their sin, they conceal it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have prepared evil unto themselves.
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.
Say ye to the righteous, that he hath done well; for the fruit of their doings shall they eat.
11 Auwe hoi ka mea i hewa! e poino no ia; E haawiia'ku nana ka uku o kona mau lima.
Woe unto the wicked who doeth evil; for the recompense of his hands shall be bestowed on him.
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.
My people! their oppressors are children, and women rule over them. O my people! thy leaders cause thee to err, and the direction of thy paths they corrupt.
13 Ke ku nei no o Iehova e hoakaka mai, Ua ku no ia iluna e hooponopono i na kanaka.
The Lord is stepped forth to plead, and standeth up 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 ancients of his people, and their princes; but ye—ye have eaten up the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
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.
What mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind down the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the Eternal 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, Forasmuch as the daughters of Zion are proud, and walk with stretched forth necks and casting about their eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
17 E hooolohelohe no ka Haku i ka pikopoo o na kaikamahine o Ziona, E hoike no o Iehova i ko lakou wahi hilahila,
Therefore will the Lord smite with leprosy the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will lay open their nakedness.
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;
On that day will the Lord take away the beauty of their tinkling shoe-buckles, and the hair-nets, and the crescent-shaped ornaments,
19 I na gula pepeiao, a me na kupee lima, A me na pale kalukalu;
The drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
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;
The bonnets, and the foot-chains, and the head-bands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
21 I na komolima, a me na gula ihu,
The finger-rings, and nose-jewels,
22 I na aahu kuai nui, a me na holoku, I na kalukalu nui, a me na hipuu kala;
The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the pockets.
23 I na aniani nana, a me na palule, I na ribina lei o ke poo, A me na aahu nui.
The mirrors, and the chemisettes, and the turbans, and the long vails.
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 it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be corruption; and instead of a girdle a rope; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a wide garment a girding of sackcloth, a mark of burning instead of beauty.
25 E haule no kou poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A me kou poe koa hoi ma ke kaua.
Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty ones in the war.
26 E uwe, a e u hoi kona mau pukapa, A e noho neoneo oia ma ka lepo.
And then shall her gates lament and mourn; and stript of all shall she sit upon the ground.
