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 that go down to Egypt for help; and depend for support on horses, and trust on chariots, because they are many; and on horsemen, because they are very strong; but who turn not unto the Holy One of Israel, and seek not 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 also is wise, and bringeth evil, and taketh not back his words; and riseth up against the house of evil-doers, and against the help of those that work injustice.
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, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit; and the Lord will stretch out his hand, and there shall stumble the helper, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall 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 thus hath said the Lord unto me, Just as the lion or the young lion growleth over his prey, against whom is called forth the company of shepherds, of whose voice he is not afraid, and is not depressed because of their multitude: thus will the Lord come down, to fight on mount Zion and on its hill.
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.
As fluttering birds, so will the Lord of hosts shield Jerusalem; shielding and delivering; sparing and preserving.
6 E huli oukou i ka mea a ua mamo a Iseraela i haalele ino ai:
Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
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 shall every man despise his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.
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 shall Asshur fall by the sword of one who is not a man; and the sword of one who is not a son of earth shall devour him; and he shall flee him from the sword, and his young men shall become tributary.
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.
And his stronghold shall pass away for fear, and his princes shall be terrified because of the ensign, saith the Lord, who hath a fire in Zion, and a furnace in Jerusalem.
