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 reigns for righteousness, As for princes, they rule for judgment.
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 each has been as a hiding place [from] wind, And as a secret hiding place [from] inundation, As streams of waters in a dry place, As a shadow of a heavy rock in a weary land.
3 Aole e hoopiliia na maka o ka poe ike, A e hoolohe no na pepeiao o ka poe lohe.
And the eyes of beholders are not dazzled, And the ears of hearers attend.
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 those hurried understands to know, And the tongue of stammerers hurries to speak clearly.
5 Aole e kapa hou ia ka mea lapuwale, he maikai nui, Aole hoi e iia ka mea alunu, he lokomaikai.
A fool is no more called “noble,” And to a miser it is not said, “rich”;
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 folly, And his heart does iniquity, to do profanity, And to speak error concerning YHWH, To empty the soul of the hungry, Indeed, he causes the thirsty to lack [their] 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.
And the miser—his instruments [are] evil, He has counseled wicked schemes, To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, Even when the needy speaks justly.
8 Aka, o ka mea lokomaikai, imi no oia i ka lokomaikai, A ma ka lokomaikai oia e kupaa ai.
And the noble counseled noble things, And he rises up for noble things.
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.
Women, easy ones, rise, hear my voice, Daughters, confident ones, give ear [to] my saying,
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 days and a year You are troubled, O confident ones, For harvest has been consumed, The gathering does not come.
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.
Tremble, you women, you easy ones, Be troubled, you confident ones, Strip and make bare, with a girdle on the loins,
12 E nui auanei ka uwe ana no na waiu, A no na mahinaai maikai, a no ke kumuwaina hua nui.
They are lamenting for breasts, For fields of desire, for the fruitful 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.
Over the ground of my people thorn [and] brier go up, Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting city,
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;
The palace has been left, The multitude of the city forsaken, Fort and watchtower have been for dens for all time, A joy of wild donkeys—a pasture of herds;
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 emptied out on us from on high, And a wilderness has become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is reckoned 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.
And judgment has dwelt in the wilderness, And righteousness remains in the fruitful 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.
And a work of the righteousness has been peace, And a service of the righteousness—Keeping quiet and confidence for all time.
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 My people have dwelt in a peaceful habitation, And in steadfast dwelling places, And in quiet resting places.
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 it has hailed in the going down of the forest, And the city is low in the valley.
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] you sowing by all waters, Sending forth the foot of the ox and the donkey!
