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.
Listen to this! Some day there will be a righteous king, and his officials will help him to rule justly/fairly.
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 [of them] will be like [MET] a shelter from the wind and a (refuge/place to be protected) from the storm. They will be like [SIM] streams of water in the desert, like the shade under a huge rock in a very hot and dry land.
3 Aole e hoopiliia na maka o ka poe ike, A e hoolohe no na pepeiao o ka poe lohe.
When that happens, [those leaders will enable] people who have not understood [MET] [God’s truth] to understand it, and [they will enable] those who have not paid attention to [MET] [God’s truth] to pay attention to it.
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.
[Even] those who act very hastily will have good sense, and those who cannot speak well will speak fluently and clearly.
5 Aole e kapa hou ia ka mea lapuwale, he maikai nui, Aole hoi e iia ka mea alunu, he lokomaikai.
[At that time], people who are foolish/unwise will no longer be (admired/looked up to), and scoundrels will no longer 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.
Foolish people say things that are foolish, and they plan to do evil things. Their behavior is disgraceful, and they say things about Yahweh that are false. They do not give food to those who are hungry, and they do not give water to those who are thirsty.
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.
Scoundrels do things that are evil and that deceive people; they plan to do evil things; by telling lies [in court] they cause poor people to (have trouble/be convicted), even when what the poor [people] are requesting is fair/just.
8 Aka, o ka mea lokomaikai, imi no oia i ka lokomaikai, A ma ka lokomaikai oia e kupaa ai.
But honorable people plan to do honorable/good things, and they do the honorable/good things that they plan to do.
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.
You women [of Jerusalem] who think that you are very secure/safe and think that everything is going well, listen to [IDM] what I say!
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.
One year from now, you who now (are not worried about anything/think that everything is going well) will tremble, because there will be no grapes for you to harvest and no [other] crops to harvest.
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.
[So] tremble [now], you women who are not worried about anything! Take off your [fancy] clothes and put rough 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/Hit your breasts to show that you are grieving about [what will happen in] your fertile fields and to your fruitful grapevines,
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.
because [only] thorns and thistles will grow in your soil. Your houses where you had joyful parties and your city where you have been happy will be gone.
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 [king’s] palace will be empty; there will be no people in the city that [now] is very noisy. Wild donkeys will walk around and flocks of sheep will eat grass in the empty forts and watchtowers.
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.
[It will be like that] until God pours his Spirit out on us from heaven. [When that happens], the deserts will become fertile fields, and abundant crops will grow in those fertile fields.
16 Alaila, e noho no ka pono ma ka waonahele, A e hoomau no hoi ka maikai ma ka mahinaai hua nui.
People [PRS] will act/rule justly/fairly in those desert areas, and people will act/rule righteously in those fertile fields.
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 result of their acting righteously will be that there will be peace, the land will be tranquil/quiet, and people will be secure/safe 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.
My people will live in their homes peacefully, and safely, and calmly, in 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.
[Even if a severe] hailstorm knocks down [the trees in] the forest, and [all the buildings in] the city are blown down,
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.
Yahweh [will greatly] bless you; you will plant [seeds in fields] alongside the streams [and there will be abundant crops]. Your donkeys and cattle will easily find grass to eat.
