Isaia 31
1 A UWE ka poe iho ilalo i Aigupita no ke kokuaia mai. Ka poe i paulele i na lio, a hilinai ma na kaakaua, No ka nui o ia mau mea; A ma na hololio hoi, no ko lakou ikaika nui: Aole hoi e nana aku i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela, Aole imi aku ma o Iehova la!
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in their abundance of chariots and in their multitude of horsemen. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel; they do not seek the LORD.
2 He akamai no hoi oia, A e hoopuka mai no ia i ka hewa, Aole ia e kapae i kana mau olelo; Aka, e ala mai no oia iluna e ku e i ka hale o ka poe hana hewa, E ku e hoi i ka poe kokua i na mea hana hewa.
Yet He too is wise and brings disaster; He does not call back His words. He will rise up against the house of the wicked and against the allies of evildoers.
3 No ka mea, he poe kanaka wale no ko Aigupita, aohe akua; He io no ko lakou mau lio, aohe uhane; E hohola mai no o Iehova i kona lima, A e kulanalana auanei ka mea kokua, E hina no hoi ka mea e kokuaia, A e make pu no lakou a pau.
But the Egyptians are men, not God; their horses are flesh, not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, the helper will stumble, and the one he helps will fall; both will perish together.
4 No ka mea, penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova ia'u, E like me ka uwo ana o ka liona, A me ka liona hou hoi maluna o ka mea ana i pepehi ai, Ina i akoakoa na kahuhipa he nui loa, e ku e ia ia, Aole ia e makau i ko lakou leo, Aole hoi e kulou ilalo no ka lehulehu o lakou: Pela no o Iehova o na kaua e iho mai ai, E kaua mamuli o ka mauna o Ziona, Mamuli hoi o ko laila puu.
For this is what the LORD has said to me: “Like a lion roaring or a young lion over its prey— and though a band of shepherds is called out against it, it is not terrified by their shouting or subdued by their clamor— so the LORD of Hosts will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and its heights.
5 E like me na manu lele, pela no o Iehova o na kaua e malama mai ai ia Ierusalema; I kona malama ana, e hoopakele no oia ia wahi, I kona hele ana ae, e hoola mai no oia.
Like birds hovering overhead, so the LORD of Hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will shield it and deliver it; He will pass over it and preserve it.”
6 E huli oukou i ka mea a ua mamo a Iseraela i haalele ino ai:
Return to the One against whom you have so blatantly rebelled, O children of Israel.
7 No ka mea, i kela la, E kiola aku no ke kanaka i kona mau akuakii kala, A me kona mau akuakii gula, I na mea a ko oukou mau lima i hana hewa ai no oukou.
For on that day, every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold that your own hands have sinfully made.
8 A e haule no ko Asuria i ka pahikaua, aole nae i ko ke kanaka, E ai no ka pahikaua ia ia, aole nae o ko ke kanaka; E auhee no ia, mai ke alo aku o ka pahikaua, A e auhauia kona poe kanaka ui.
“Then Assyria will fall, but not by the sword of man; a sword will devour them, but not one made by mortals. They will flee before the sword, and their young men will be put to forced labor.
9 E hele aku no ia i kona pohaku, no ka makau. A e makau no kona poe alii no ka hae, Wahi a Iehova, ka mea nana ke ahi ma Ziona, A nana hoi ke kapuahi ma Ierusalema.
Their rock will pass away for fear, and their princes will panic at the sight of the battle standard,” declares the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
