< 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.
For, behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall govern with judgement.
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.
And a man shall hide his words, and be hidden, as from rushing water, and shall appear in Sion as a rushing river, glorious in a thirsty land.
3 Aole e hoopiliia na maka o ka poe ike, A e hoolohe no na pepeiao o ka poe lohe.
And they shall no more trust in men, but they shall incline their ears to hear.
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.
And the heart of the weak ones shall attend to hear, and the stammering tongues shall soon learn to speak peace.
5 Aole e kapa hou ia ka mea lapuwale, he maikai nui, Aole hoi e iia ka mea alunu, he lokomaikai.
And they shall no more at all tell a fool to rule, and your servants shall no more at all say, Be silent.
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 the fool shall speak foolish words, and his heart shall meditate vanities, and to perform lawless deeds and to speak error against the Lord, to scatter hungry souls, and he will cause the thirsty souls to be empty.
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.
For the counsel of the wicked will devise iniquity, to destroy the poor with unjust words, and ruin the cause of the poor in judgement.
8 Aka, o ka mea lokomaikai, imi no oia i ka lokomaikai, A ma ka lokomaikai oia e kupaa ai.
But the godly have devised wise [measures], and this counsel shall stand.
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.
Rise up, you rich women, and hear my voice; you confident daughters, listen to my words.
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.
Remember for a full year in pain, yet with hope: the vintage has been cut off; it has ceased, it shall by no means come again.
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.
Be amazed, be pained, you confident ones: strip you, bare yourselves, gird your loins;
12 E nui auanei ka uwe ana no na waiu, A no na mahinaai maikai, a no ke kumuwaina hua nui.
and beat your breasts, because of the pleasant field, and the fruit of the vine.
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.
[As for] the land of my people, the thorn and grass shall come upon [it], and joy shall be removed from every house.
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;
[As for] the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, [and] the pleasant houses: and the villages shall be caves for ever, the joy of wild asses, shepherds' pastures;
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 shall come upon you from on high, and Chermel shall be desert, and Chermel shall be counted for 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 judgement shall abide in the wilderness, and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel.
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.
And the works of righteousness shall be peace; and righteousness shall ensure rest, and [the righteous] shall be confident for ever.
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.
And his people shall inhabit a city of peace, and dwell in [it] in confidence, and they shall rest with wealth.
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.
And if the hail should come down, it shall not come upon you; and they that dwell in the forests shall be in confidence, as those in the plain country.
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 they that sow by every water, where the ox and ass tread.
