Isaia 30
1 A UWE na keiki kipi, wahi a Iehova, Ka poe i hooholo manao, aole nae ma o'u nei; Ka poe i ninini i na mohai ninini, aole nae ma ko'u uhane, I kui aku ai lakou i kekahi hewa mo kekahi hewa;
“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.
2 Ka poe i hele ilalo i Aigupita, Aole nae i ninau ma kuu waha; A hooikaika lakou ia lakou iho ma ka ikaika o Parao, A hilinai aku ma ke aka o Aigupita.
They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade.
3 E lilo no ka ikaika o Parao i mea e hilahila ai oukou, A me ka hilinai ana i ke aka o Aigupita, oia kekahi mea hilahila.
But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace.
4 No ka mea, aia ma Zoana kona poe alii, A hiki ae la kona poe luna i Hanesa.
For though their princes are at Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,
5 Hilahila no lakou a pau i ka lahuikanaka hiki ole ke kokua ia lakou, Aole alu pu, aole kokua, Aka, he mea hilahila, he mea hoi e hoowahawahaia'i.
everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They cannot be of help; they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.”
6 Ua kaumaha na holoholona o ke kukulu hema, O na mea hali, no ka aina e kaniuhu ai, a e eha ai hoi, Ma kahi o ka liona wahine, a me ka liona kane, Ka moonihoawa, a me ka moolele; Lawe no lakou i ko lakou waiwai ma ke kua o na hoki opiopio, A me ko lakou ukana hoi, ma na puu o na kamelo, E lilo i na kanaka kokua ole ia lakou.
This is the burden against the beasts of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lioness and lion, of viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them.
7 Ua lapuwale ko Aigupita, make hewa ko lakou hooikaika ana, Nolaila au i kapa aku ai ia ia, o Huhuahoopalaleha.
Egypt’s help is futile and empty; therefore I have called her Rahab Who Sits Still.
8 O hele hoi, e palapala ia mea ma ka papa imua o lakou, A e kahakaha hoi ma ka buke, I mea no na la mahope, no na manawa, mau loa aku:
Go now, write it on a tablet in their presence and inscribe it on a scroll; it will be for the days to come, a witness forever and ever.
9 No ka mea, he poe kanaka kipi keia, He poe keiki wahahee, He poe kamalii hoolohe ole i ke kanawai o Iehova:
These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.
10 He poe olelo i na mea ike, Mai ike oukou; A i na kaula hoi, Mai wanana mai oukou ia makou i na mea pono, E hai mai ia makou i na mea oluolu, E wanana mai i na mea hoopunipuni:
They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.
11 E kapae ae iwaho o ke alanui, E huli ae mawaho o ke kuamoo, E hoihoi aku i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela, mai ko makou alo aku.
Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”
12 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela peneia, No ko oukou hoowahawaha ana i keia olelo, A ua hilinai aku i ka alunu, a me ke kekee, A ua hio ma ia mau mea;
Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “Because you have rejected this message, trusting in oppression and relying on deceit,
13 No ia mea, e lilo ai keia hewa ia oukou, E like me kahi i naha o ka pa e hiolo ana, He wahi hio o ka pa kiekie, E hiolo hiki wawe, ma ke sekona no.
this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse will come suddenly— in an instant!
14 E naha no ia e like me ka naha ana o ka ipulepo o na potera, E nahaha io no, aole ia e aloha mai; Maloko o na mea naha, aole e loaa kekahi apana, E lawe ai i ko ahi enaena, A e huki hoi i ka wai o ka luawai.
It will break in pieces like a potter’s jar, shattered so that no fragment can be found. Not a shard will be found in the dust large enough to scoop the coals from a hearth or to skim the water from a cistern.”
15 No ka mea, penei i olelo mai ai ka Haku, O Iehova, ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela, Ma ka huli ana mai a me ka hoomaha oukou e ola'i; Ma ka noho malie, a ma ka hilinai mai, malaila ko oukou ikaika; Aole nae oukou i ae mai.
For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence— but you were not willing.”
16 A olelo mai no oukou, Aole; Aka, e holo no makou maluna o na lio; Nolaila, e holo io no oukou; E holo makou maluna o na mea mama; Nolaila, e mama'i ka poe hahai ia oukou.
“No,” you say, “we will flee on horses.” Therefore you will flee! “We will ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.
17 E hee no kekahi tausani o oukou, No ka papa ana o ka mea hookahi; No ka papa ana o na mea elima e hee ai oukou; A waihoia oukou, e like me ke kia ma ka piko o ke kuahiwi, Me he hae la hoi maluna o ka puu.
A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee, until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.
18 Nolaila, e kakali no o Iehova, i lokomaikai oia ia oukou, Nolaila, e hiilaniia oia, ma ka hana maikai aku ia oukou: No ka mea, he Akua hooponopono o Iehova; Pomaikai ka poe a pau i hilinai aku ia ia.
Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.
19 No ka mea, e noho no na kanaka o Ziona ma Ierusalema; Aole loa hoi oukou e uwe hou aku; E lokomaikai loa aku oia i ka leo o kou kahea ana, A lohe oia, e ae mai no ia oe.
O people in Zion who dwell in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious when you cry for help; when He hears, He will answer you.
20 Ua haawi mai no ka Haku ia oukou i ka berena o ka popilikia, A me ka wai o ke kaumaha, Aka, aole e lawe hou ia'ku kau poe kumuao, E ike aku no kou mau maka i na kumuao:
The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.
21 E lohe no kou mau pepeiao i ka olelo mahope ou, i ka i ana mai, Eia ke ala, e hele maloko olaila, Ina paha oukou e huli ma ka akau, A ina paha oukou e huli ma ka hema,
And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”
22 E hoohaumia no hoi oukou i ke poi kala o ko oukou mau kii i kalaiia, A me ka wahi gula o kou mau kii hooheheeia; E kiola ana oukou ia, e like me ka welu pea, A e olelo ana no oe ia ia, Hele pela,
So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!”
23 Alaila e haawi mai no oia i ka ua no kau hua, Ka mea au e kanu ai ma ka lepo; A me ka berena hoi no ka hua ana mai o ka lepo, A e momona no ia, a mahuahua ka maikai; E ai no kou mau holoholona ia la ma na kula palahalaha.
Then He will send rain for the seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food that comes from your land will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures.
24 O na bipi kauo hoi, a me na hoki opiopio, Na mea i hana ma ka aina, E ai no lakou i ka ai i miko i ka paakai, Ka mea i peahiia i ka peahi a me ke kanana.
The oxen and donkeys that work the ground will eat salted fodder, winnowed with shovel and pitchfork.
25 A maluna o na kuahiwi kiekie a pau, A maluna hoi o na puu kiekie a pau, E loaa no na kahawai, a me ka wai e kahe ana, I ka la o ka make nui, I ka haule ana o na halekiai.
And from every high mountain and every raised hill, streams of water will flow in the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 A e like auanei ka malamalama o ka mahina, Me ka malamalama o ka la, A e pahiku no ka malamalama o ka la, E like me ka malamalama o na la ekiku, I ka la e wahi ai o Iehova i ka eha o kona poe kanaka, A hoola hoi i ka eha o ko lakou hahauia.
The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.
27 Aia hoi, ke hele mai nei ka inoa o Iehova mai kahi loihi mai, Ua wela kona ukiuki, a nui loa ke a ana; Ua piha kona mau lehelehe i ka inaina, A ua like no kona elelo me ke ahi e hoopau ana.
Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and His tongue is like a consuming fire.
28 Ua like kona hanu me ka waikahe e holo moku ana, E pii no ia a waenakonu o ka a-i, E kanana i na lahuikanaka i ko kanana o ka make; Aia ma na iwia o na kanaka he kaulawaha e alakai hewa ana.
His breath is like a rushing torrent that rises to the neck. He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction; He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them astray.
29 He mele no ko oukou, E like me ko ka po i ka wa e malama ai i ka ahaaina; He olioli o ka naau, e like me ka mea hele mamuli o ka hokiokio, A hiki aku i ka mauna o Iehova, i ka pohaku hoi o ka Iseraela.
You will sing as on the night of a holy festival, and your heart will rejoice like one who walks to the music of a flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
30 O Iehova ka mea e loheia'i kona leo nani, E hoike aku no oia i ka iho ana o kona lima, Me ka ukiuki o ka inaina, A me ka lapalapa o ke ahi e hoopau ana, O ka ua nui, a me ka ino, a me ka huahekili.
And the LORD will cause His majestic voice to be heard and His mighty arm to be revealed, striking in angry wrath with a flame of consuming fire, and with cloudburst, storm, and hailstones.
31 No ka mea, ma ka leo o Iehova, E moku loa auanei ko Asuria, Me ka laau e hahau no ia.
For Assyria will be shattered at the voice of the LORD; He will strike them with His scepter.
32 Ma na wahi a pau e hiki aku ai ka laau hoopai, Ka mea a Iehova e kau ai maluna ona, O na pahu kani no kekahi, a me na mea kani; A e kaua no oia ia ia me ke kaua weliweli.
And with every stroke of the rod of punishment that the LORD brings down on them, the tambourines and lyres will sound as He battles with weapons brandished.
33 No ka mea, ua hoomakaukau kahiko ia o Topeta, No ko alii hoi ia i hoomakaukauia'i; Ua hana oia ia wahi a hohonu, a ua nui hoi; He wahi ahi, a ua nui hoi ka wahie, Na ka hanu no o Iehova e hoa iho, E like me ka luaipele e kahe ana.
For Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, with plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze.
