Isaia 32
1 A IA hoi, ma ka pono no e malama aupuni ai ke alii nui, A ma ka pololei hoi e noho alii ai na'lii.
Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice.
2 E like auanei ke kanaka me kahi lulu o ka makani, Me ka mamalu hoi no ka ua; E like me na auwai ma kahi maloo, E like hoi me ka malu o ka pohaku nui ma ka aina maluhiluhi.
Each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry land, like the shadow of a great rock in an arid land.
3 Aole e hoopiliia na maka o ka poe ike, A e hoolohe no na pepeiao o ka poe lohe.
Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 E ike no hoi ka naau o ka poe noonoo ole i ke akamai, A o ke alelo o ka poe uuu, E makaukau no ia e olelo akaka mai.
The mind of the rash will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.
5 Aole e kapa hou ia ka mea lapuwale, he maikai nui, Aole hoi e iia ka mea alunu, he lokomaikai.
No longer will a fool be called noble, nor a scoundrel be respected.
6 No ka mea, e olelo no ke kanaka lapuwale i ka mea lapuwale, A e ohumu no kona naau i ka hewa, Ma ka aia kana hana ana, a olelo ino ku e ia Iehova, E hoonele i ka naau o ka poe pololi. A e hoopau i ka wai o ka mea makewai.
For a fool speaks foolishness; his mind plots iniquity. He practices ungodliness and speaks falsely about the LORD; he leaves the hungry empty and deprives the thirsty of drink.
7 He hewa na mea hana o ka mea alunu; Imi no oia i na manao hewa, E hookaumaha i ka poe poino i na olelo wahahee, I ka poe popilikia hoi e olelo ana ma ka pololei.
The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive; he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.
8 Aka, o ka mea lokomaikai, imi no oia i ka lokomaikai, A ma ka lokomaikai oia e kupaa ai.
But a noble man makes honorable plans; he stands up for worthy causes.
9 E na wahine e noho nanea ana, E ku mai iluna, e hoolohe hoi i ko'u leo; E na kaikamahine makau ole, e haliu pepeiao mai i ka'u olelo.
Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me. Give ear to my word, you overconfident daughters.
10 No ka makahiki a keu ko oukou haalulu ana, E na wahine makau ole; No ka mea, e pau auanei ka ohi hua waina ana, Aole e hiki mai ka hooiliili ai ana.
In a little more than a year you will tremble, O secure ones. For the grape harvest will fail and the fruit harvest will not arrive.
11 E haalulu oukou, e ka poe e noho nanea ana, E weliweli hoi oukou, ka poe makau ole; E wehe i ko oukou lole, a e ku kohana, a e kaei i na puhaka.
Shudder, you ladies of leisure; tremble, you daughters of complacency. Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists.
12 E nui auanei ka uwe ana no na waiu, A no na mahinaai maikai, a no ke kumuwaina hua nui.
Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines,
13 Ma ka aina o ko'u poe kanaka, E ulu mai no ke kakalaioa, a me ka laau ooi, Maluna hoi o na hale olioli a pau, Iloko o ke kulanakauhale e olioli ana.
and for the land of my people, overgrown with thorns and briers— even for every house of merriment in this city of revelry.
14 No ka mea, e haaleleia auanei na halealii, A e neoneo no hoi ke kulanakauhale o na kanaka lehulehu; O ka puu a me ka halekiai e lilo no i ana mau loa, I mea hoi e olioli ai na hoki hihiu, I wahi hoi e hanai ai i na holoholona;
For the palace will be forsaken, the busy city abandoned. The hill and the watchtower will become caves forever— the delight of wild donkeys and a pasture for flocks—
15 A nininiia ka Uhane mailuna mai maluna o kakou, A lilo ka waonahele i mahinaai hua nui, A manaoia hoi ka mahinaai hua nui, he ululaau.
until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high. Then the desert will be an orchard, and the orchard will seem like a forest.
16 Alaila, e noho no ka pono ma ka waonahele, A e hoomau no hoi ka maikai ma ka mahinaai hua nui.
Then justice will inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness will dwell in the fertile field.
17 E lilo no ka hana pono ana i mea e malu ai, A o ka hope o ka maikai, he kuapapanui mau loa, a me ka malu.
The work of righteousness will be peace; the service of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever.
18 E noho no ko'u poe kanaka ma na wahi kuapapanui, A ma na hale hoi i hoomaluia, A ma na wahi hoomaha o ka malu.
Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure places of rest.
19 Aka, e haule mai no ka hua hekili, I ke kuaia ilalo o ka ululaau; A i kahi haahaa e hoohaahaaia'i ke kulanakauhale.
But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink to the depths.
20 E pomaikai auanei oukou, ka poe lulu hua ma na wahi wai nui, Ma kahi i hoounaia'i ka bipi kaulua a me ka hoki.
Blessed are those who sow beside abundant waters, who let the ox and donkey range freely.
