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 going down to Egypt for help, And [who] lean on horses, And trust on chariots, because [they are] many, And on horsemen, because [they are] very strong, And have not looked on the Holy One of Israel, And have not sought YHWH.
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.
And He [is] also wise, and brings in evil, And He has not turned aside His words, And He has risen against a house of evildoers, And against the help of workers of iniquity.
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.
And the Egyptians [are men], and not God, And their horses [are] flesh, and not spirit, And YHWH stretches out His hand, And the helper has stumbled, And the helped one has fallen, And together all of them are consumed.
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 said YHWH to me: “As the lion and the young lion growl over his prey, Against whom a multitude of shepherds is called, He is not frightened from their voice, And he is not humbled from their noise; So YHWH of Hosts comes down To war on Mount Zion, and on her height.
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 birds flying, so does YHWH of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.”
6 E huli oukou i ka mea a ua mamo a Iseraela i haalele ino ai:
Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened apostasy.
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 in that day each despises His idols of silver, and his idols of gold, That your hands made to you—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.
And Asshur has fallen by sword, not of the high, Indeed, a sword—not of the low, consumes him, And he has fled for himself from the face of a sword, And his young men 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 he passes on [to] his rock from fear, And his princes have been frightened by the ensign—a declaration of YHWH, Who has a light in Zion, And who has a furnace in Jerusalem!
