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!
Tragedy is coming to those who appeal to Egypt for help, depending on their horses and trusting in all their chariots and charioteers! They don't look to the Holy One of Israel for help; they don't ask the Lord for advice.
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's also wise! He will bring disaster and won't withdraw his orders. He will take action against this wicked nation and the evil people who help them.
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.
The Egyptians are only human beings—they're not God! Their horses are only physical, not spiritual. When the Lord lifts up his hand to attack, those who came to help will stumble, and those who are helped will fall. They will all die 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.
This is what the Lord told me: It's like a young lion growling as it stands over its prey. Even though a lot of shepherds come to protest, it's not frightened off by their shouting or intimidated by all their noise. In the same way the Lord Almighty will come down to fight on Mount Zion.
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 that hover above, so the Lord Almighty will take care of Jerusalem. He will protect it and save it; he will pass over it and rescue it.
6 E huli oukou i ka mea a ua mamo a Iseraela i haalele ino ai:
Come back, Israelites, to the one you so blatantly rebelled against.
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 at that time every one of you will throw away all the idols of silver and gold made by your own sinful hands.
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.
The Assyrians will be killed by the sword of one who is not a man. They will destroyed by the sword of one who is not mortal. They will run away at the sight of the sword, and the young Assyrian men will be taken away as slave laborers.
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 be scared to death, and their officers will be terrified and in panic at the sight of the battle flag, declares the Lord, who has his fire in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
