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 them that go down to Egypt for help, And put their trust in horses, And confide in chariots, because they are many, And in horsemen, because their number is great, But look not to the Holy One of Israel, And resort not to Jehovah.
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; He will bring evil, and not take back his words; He will arise against the house of the evil-doers, And against the help of them that do 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.
The Egyptians are men, and not God, And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When Jehovah shall stretch forth his hand, Then shall the helper fall, and the helped be overthrown; And they shall all 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 Jehovah said to me: As when the lion and the young lion growl over their prey, And a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, By their noise he is not terrified, Nor by their tumult disheartened; So shall Jehovah of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and her 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 birds hover over their young, So shall Jehovah of hosts defend Jerusalem; He will defend and deliver, spare and save.
6 E huli oukou i ka mea a ua mamo a Iseraela i haalele ino ai:
Turn, O ye children of Israel, To him from whom ye have so deeply revolted! For in that day shall every one cast away his idols of
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.
silver and his idols of gold, Which your hands have made for 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.
The Assyrian shall fall by a sword not of man, Yea, a sword not of mortal shall devour him; He shall flee before the sword, And his young warriors shall be slaves.
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.
Through fear shall he pass beyond his stronghold, And his princes shall be afraid of the standard. Thus saith Jehovah, who hath his fire in Zion, And his furnace in Jerusalem.
