Isaia 33
1 A UWE oe ka mea anai aku, Aole hoi oe i anaiia mai; Ka mea hao wale aku, aole nae lakou i hao mai ia oe! A pau kau anai ana aku, alaila e anaiia mai oe; A pau kou hao ana aku, alaila lakou e hao mai ai ia oe.
Woe to you, O destroyer never destroyed, O traitor never betrayed! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed. When you have finished betraying, you will be betrayed.
2 E Iehova, e maliu mai oe ia makou, Ua kakali makou ia oe, E lilo no oe i mea kokua ia lakou i kakahiaka, I mea hoi e ola'i makou i ka manawa popilikia.
O LORD, be gracious to us! We wait for You. Be our strength every morning and our salvation in time of trouble.
3 I ka leo o ka lehulehu, hee aku la na kanaka, Ia oe i ala'i iluna, hoopuehuia'ku la na lahuikanaka.
The peoples flee the thunder of Your voice; the nations scatter when You rise.
4 E hoiliiliia no ko oukou waiwai pio, Me ko ka enuhe hoiliiliia; A e like me ka holo ana o na uhini io ia nei, Pela no ia e holo ai maluna ona,
Your spoil, O nations, is gathered as by locusts; like a swarm of locusts men sweep over it.
5 Ua hapaiia o Iehova, no ka mea, maluna no oia e noho ana; Ua hoopiha no oia ia Ziona i ka pono a me ka maikai.
The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 E lilo ana ke akamai a me ka ike, I kumu paa o kou manawa, i mea kokua ikaika hoi; O ka makau ia Iehova, oia kona waiwai malama.
He will be the sure foundation for your times, a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is Zion’s treasure.
7 Aia, e uwe ana ko lakou poe ikaika mawaho; E uwe walania no hoi na luna imi malu.
Behold, their valiant ones cry aloud in the streets; the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
8 Ua haaleleia na alanui, Ua oki ka mea hele; Ua uhai oia i ka berita, Ua hoowahawaha oia i na kulanakauhale; Aole ia i manao i ke kanaka.
The highways are deserted; travel has ceased. The treaty has been broken, the witnesses are despised, and human life is disregarded.
9 Ua uwe ka aina, ua kanikau hoi; Ua hilahila o Lebanona, ua mae wale; Ua like o Sarona me ka waonahele; Lulu iho o Basana, a me Karemela i na lau.
The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is ashamed and decayed. Sharon is like a desert; Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
10 Ano, e ku no owau iluna, wahi a Iehova, Ano, e hapaiia no wau, Ano la wau e hookiekieia.
“Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.
11 E hapai auanei oukou, i mauu maloo, E hanau mai no hoi oukou, i opala. Na ko oukou hanu no e hoopau ia oukou iho me he ahi la.
You conceive chaff; you give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will consume you.
12 E like auanei ua lahuikanaka me ke kahu ana i ka puna: E puhiia no i ke ahi, e like me na kakalaioa i okiia.
The peoples will be burned to ashes, like thorns cut down and set ablaze.
13 E ka poe ma kahi mamao aku, E hoolohe mai oukou i ka'u hana ana; A me ka poe e kokoke mai hoi, E hoomaopopo oukou i ko'u mana.
You who are far off, hear what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
14 Ua makau ka poe hewa ma Ziona, Ua loohia ka poe aia i ka haalulu. Owai la ka mea o kakou e hiki ke noho me ke ahi e hoopau ana? Owai la ka mea o kakou e hiki ke noho me ka wela mau loa?
The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling grips the ungodly: “Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting flames?”
15 O ka mea hele ma ka pono, a olelo hoi ma ka pololei; O ka mea hoowahawaha i ka waiwai o ka hookaumaha ana, O ka mea lulu mawaho aku o kona lima i ka waiwai i loaa ma ke kipe ana; O ka mea pani i kona mau pepeiao o lohe i ke koko, O ka mea hoopili i kona mau maka, i ike ole ia i ka hewa;
He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, who refuses gain from extortion, whose hand never takes a bribe, who stops his ears against murderous plots and shuts his eyes tightly against evil—
16 Oia ka mea e noho ana ma kahi kiekie; O na pa pohaka kona puuhonua: E haawiia no ka ai nana, a e mau ana hoi kona wai inu.
he will dwell on the heights; the mountain fortress will be his refuge; his food will be provided and his water assured.
17 E ike aku no kou mau maka i ke alii i kona nani; E ike no hoi lakou i ka aina ma kahi loihi aku.
Your eyes will see the King in His beauty and behold a land that stretches afar.
18 E hoomanao ana no kou naau i ka makau i hala. Auhea ke kakauolelo? auhea hoi ka lunakaupaona? Auhea ka mea helu i na halekiai?
Your mind will ponder the former terror: “Where is he who tallies? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?”
19 Aole oe e ike hou aku i ka lahuikanaka ikaika, I ka lahuikanaka olelo ike ole ia, ma ka lohe ana, I ke alelo namu hoi au i hoomaopopo ole ai.
You will no longer see the insolent, a people whose speech is unintelligible, who stammer in a language you cannot understand.
20 E ike auanei oe ia Ziona, I ke kulanakauhale o ka kakou ahaaina ana; E ike auanei kou mau maka ia Ierusalema. He wahi noho i hoomaluia, He halelewa hoi, aole e lawe hou ia'ku; Aole e unuhiia kona mau makia a i ka manawa pau ole, Aole hoi e moku kekahi o kona mau kaula.
Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander; its tent pegs will not be pulled up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
21 Malaila io no ka nani o Iehova no kakou, He wahi muliwai nui, a akea ma na aoao a pau, Aole moku holo maloko olaila me ka hoe, Aole moku nui e holo ae a kela aoao.
But there the Majestic One, our LORD, will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals, where no galley with oars will row, and no majestic vessel will pass.
22 No ka mea, o Iehova no ko kakou lunakanawai, O Iehova ka mea kau i ke kanawai maluna o kakou, O Iehova ko kakou alii; Oia ka mea e hoola mai ai ia kakou.
For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King. It is He who will save us.
23 Ua weheia kou mau kaula, Aole hiki ia lakou ke hoopaa i ka papakukia, Aole hoi e hiki ke kau i ka hae; Alaila puunaueia ka waiwai pio nui; E hiki no i ka poe oopa ke hopu iho i ka waiwai pio.
Your ropes are slack; they cannot secure the mast or spread the sail. Then an abundance of spoils will be divided, and even the lame will carry off plunder.
24 Aole e olelo ka mea e noho ana, Ua mai au; O na kanaka E noho ana maloko, Ua kalaia ko lakou hewa.
And no resident of Zion will say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell there will be forgiven of iniquity.
