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;
Tragedy is coming to my defiant children, declares the Lord. You make plans that don't come from me; you make alliances against my wishes, adding sin to 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.
You go to Egypt without asking me, looking to Pharaoh for protection, hoping to find safety hiding behind Egypt.
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 the protection of Pharaoh will be an embarrassment to you; hiding behind Egypt will only bring you humiliation.
4 No ka mea, aia ma Zoana kona poe alii, A hiki ae la kona poe luna i Hanesa.
Even though he has officials at Zoan and his messengers reach 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.
the Egyptians will offend everyone because they are useless—they're no help and good for nothing, except for causing shame and bringing disgrace.
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.
A message about the animals of the Negev. The messengers travel through a harsh and hostile land where lions and lionesses live, vipers and vicious snakes too. Their donkeys are burdened down with valuable gifts, their camels are loaded with treasure, to give to a worthless people that can't help.
7 Ua lapuwale ko Aigupita, make hewa ko lakou hooikaika ana, Nolaila au i kapa aku ai ia ia, o Huhuahoopalaleha.
Egypt's support is an empty breath of wind. That's why I call her Pride Sitting Down.
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:
Now go and write all this down on a tablet and on a scroll so that it will last 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:
For they are a rebellious people, deceitful children, who refuse to listen to the Lord's instructions.
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 tell people who see visions, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Don't give us prophecies about doing right—just tell us pleasant things and give us fake prophecies.
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.
Stop telling us straight; go a different direction! We don't want to hear any more about 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;
So this is how the Holy One of Israel replies, Since you have rejected this message, and since you trust in oppression and believe in dishonesty,
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.
your punishment will suddenly fall on you, like a high wall that bulges out and collapses 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.
You will be smashed like a clay pot, broken into such tiny pieces that there won't be a big enough piece to pick up coals from a hearth or a little bit of water from a well.
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.
This is what the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, said, If you repent and patiently trust in me, you would be saved; you would be strong if you had such calm confidence. But you refused to do it.
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.
You replied, “No! We'll escape on horseback! We'll get away on fast horses!” But the fast ones will be the ones chasing you!
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.
Just one of them will chase after a thousand of you. Just five of them will make you all run away. All that will be left of you will look like a flag fluttering on the top of a mountain, a banner waving 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.
So the Lord waits, wanting to be kind to you, ready to act to show you mercy, for the Lord is a God who does what is right. All who wait for him are blessed.
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.
People of Zion, you who live in Jerusalem, you won't have to weep any more. When you cry for help he will be kind to you. He will answer you immediately he hears 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:
Even though the Lord will give you the bread of hardship to eat and the water of suffering to drink, your teacher will no longer hide himself from you—you will see him with your own eyes.
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,
When you walk to the right or to the left, you will hear this command coming from behind you: “This is the way to follow.”
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,
You will defile your silver-coated idols coated with silver and your gold-covered images. You will throw them away like a dirty cloth used for periods, and say to them, “out of here!”
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.
He will send rain when you sow, and the land will produce great harvests. At that time your cattle will feed in rich 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 help cultivate the earth will eat good greens and grain, spread with fork and shovel.
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.
At that time when your enemies are killed and the fortresses fall, streams of water will flow down every mountain and hill.
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 moon will shine as bright as the sun, and the sun will shine seven times brighter, like having seven days light in one. This is the way it will be when the Lord bandages the injuries of his people and heals the wounds he caused them.
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.
Look how the Lord arrives from far away, burning with anger and accompanied by thick clouds of smoke! What he says shows his anger—it's like a fire that burns everything up.
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 rushes out like a flood that comes up to the neck. He shakes the nations in a sieve that destroys them; he puts bridles in the mouths of the different peoples to lead them away.
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.
But you will have a song to sing like you do on the night of a holy festival. You will celebrate in happiness like those who play pipes as they go 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.
The Lord will shout so everyone hears him he will reveal his great power. He will hit out in his anger and fury, with a fire that burns everything up, and with torrential rain, storm, and hail.
31 No ka mea, ma ka leo o Iehova, E moku loa auanei ko Asuria, Me ka laau e hahau no ia.
At the Lord's command the Assyrians will be shattered, knocked down by 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.
Every time the Lord hits them with his rod of punishment it will be accompanied by the music of tambourines and harps as he fights them, swinging into them in battle.
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.
The place of burning has been prepared a long time ago, ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, and has plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the Lord, like a flood of burning sulfur, sets it on fire.
