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.
Lo, for righteousness doth a king reign, As to princes, for judgment they rule.
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 hath been as a hiding-place [from] wind, And as a secret hiding-place [from] inundation, As rivulets 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 not dazzled are the eyes of beholders, And the ears of hearers do 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 hastened Understandeth to know, And the tongue of stammerers hasteth 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 speaketh folly, And his heart doth iniquity, to do profanity, And to speak concerning Jehovah error, To empty the soul of the hungry, Yea, drink of the thirsty he causeth to lack.
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 hath counselled wicked devices, To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, Even when the needy speaketh justly.
8 Aka, o ka mea lokomaikai, imi no oia i ka lokomaikai, A ma ka lokomaikai oia e kupaa ai.
And the noble counselled noble things, And he for noble things riseth up.
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.
Days and a year ye are troubled, O confident ones, For consumed hath been harvest, The gathering cometh not.
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 ye women, ye easy ones, Be troubled, ye 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.
For breasts they are lamenting, 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 — brier goeth 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;
Surely the palace hath been left, The multitude of the city forsaken, Fort and watch-tower hath been for dens unto the age, A joy of wild asses — 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.
Till emptied out on us is the Spirit from on high, And a wilderness hath become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is reckoned.
16 Alaila, e noho no ka pono ma ka waonahele, A e hoomau no hoi ka maikai ma ka mahinaai hua nui.
And dwelt in the wilderness hath judgment, And righteousness in the fruitful field remaineth.
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 hath been peace, And a service of the righteousness — Keeping quiet and confidence unto the age.
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 dwelt hath My people in a peaceful habitation, And in stedfast tabernacles, 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 hath hailed in the going down of the forest, And in the valley is the city low.
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.
Happy [are] ye sowing by all waters, Sending forth the foot of the ox and the ass!
