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, saith Jehovah, Who form plans, and not from me, And make covenants without my spirit, That they may add 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.
Who go down into Egypt, Without inquiring at my mouth, To seek refuge in Pharaoh's protection, And to trust in the shadow of 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.
The protection of Pharaoh shall be your shame; Your trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 No ka mea, aia ma Zoana kona poe alii, A hiki ae la kona poe luna i Hanesa.
For their princes are at Zoan, Their ambassadors have arrived at 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.
But they are all ashamed of a people that do not profit them; That are no help and no profit, But only a shame and a 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.
The loaded beasts go southward. Through a land of anguish and distress, Whence come forth the lioness, and the fierce lion, The viper, and the flying fiery serpent; On the shoulders of young asses they carry their wealth, And on the bunches of camels their treasures, To a people that will not profit them!
7 Ua lapuwale ko Aigupita, make hewa ko lakou hooikaika ana, Nolaila au i kapa aku ai ia ia, o Huhuahoopalaleha.
Vain and empty is the help of Egypt; Wherefore I call her, The Blusterer that sitteth 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 this on a tablet before them; Note it down upon a book, That it may remain for future times, A testimony forever!
9 No ka mea, he poe kanaka kipi keia, He poe keiki wahahee, He poe kamalii hoolohe ole i ke kanawai o Iehova:
For this is a rebellious people, false children; Children who will not hear the law of Jehovah;
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:
Who say to the seers, “See not!” And to the prophets, “Prophesy not right things; Speak to us smooth things, Prophesy falsehood!
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.
Turn aside from the way, Depart from the path, Remove from our sight 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;
Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Since ye despise this word, And trust in oppression and perverseness, And lean thereon,
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.
Therefore shall this iniquity be to you Like a breach ready to give way, That swelleth out in a high wall, Whose fall cometh 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 is broken like a potter's vessel, Which is dashed in pieces and not spared, So that among its fragments not a sherd is found to take up fire from the hearth, Or to dip water from the 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 thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: By a return and by rest shall ye be saved; In quietness and confidence is your strength;
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.
But ye would not. Ye said, “No! we will bound along upon horses”; Truly ye shall bound along in flight. “We will ride upon swift coursers”; But they shall be swift that pursue 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.
A thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one, And ten thousand at the rebuke of five, Till what remains of you shall be as a beacon on the top of a mountain, As a banner upon 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.
And yet will Jehovah wait to be gracious to you, And yet will he arise to have mercy upon you; For Jehovah is a righteous God; Happy are all they 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.
For, O people of Zion, that dwellest in Jerusalem, Thou shalt not always weep! He will be very gracious to thee at the voice of thy cry; No sooner shall he hear it, than he will answer thee.
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:
Though Jehovah hath given thee the bread of distress, and the water of affliction, Yet shall thy teachers be hidden from thee no more; But thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
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 thine ears shall hear a voice behind thee, Saying, “This is the way, walk ye in it!” When ye turn aside to the right hand, or to the left.
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,
Ye shall treat as defiled the silver coverings of your graven images, And the golden clothing of your molten images, Ye shall cast them away as an unclean thing; Away! shall ye say to them.
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 will he give rain for thy seed, With which thou shalt sow the ground, And the bread-corn, the produce of the land, shall be rich and nourishing; Then shall thy cattle feed in large 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 also, and the young asses, that till the ground, Shall eat well-seasoned provender, Which hath been winnowed with the shovel and the fan.
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 on every lofty mountain, And on every high hill, Shall be brooks and streams of water, In the day of the 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.
Then shall the light of the moon be as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, [[As the light of seven days, ]] When Jehovah bindeth up the bruises of his people, And healeth the wound which they have received.
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 Jehovah cometh from afar, His anger burneth, and violent is the flame, His lips are full of indignation, And his tongue like a devouring 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 an overflowing torrent, That reacheth even to the neck; He will toss the nation with the winnowing-fan of destruction; He will put a bridle upon the jaws of the people, that shall 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.
But ye shall then sing as in the night of a solemn festival; Your heart shall be glad, like his who marcheth with the sound of the pipe To the mountain of Jehovah, 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.
Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, And the blow of his arm to be seen, With furious anger, and flames of devouring fire; With flood, and 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 by the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be beaten down; He will smite him with the rod.
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 as often as the appointed rod shall strike, Which Jehovah shall lay heavily upon him, It shall be accompanied with tabrets and harps; And with fierce battles will he fight against him.
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 long hath the burning place been prepared; Yea, for the king hath it been made ready; The pile is made deep and broad; There is fire and wood in abundance; The breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, kindle it.
