Isaia 47
1 E IHO ilalo, a e noho ma ka lepo, e ke kaikamahine puupaa o Babulona, E noho ma ka honua, aoho noho alii, e ke kaikamahine o Kaledea; No ka mea, aole oe e hea hou ia he puloku, a palupalu.
“Go down and sit in the dust, O Virgin Daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, O Daughter of Chaldea! For you will no longer be called tender or delicate.
2 E lawe i ka mea kaapalaoa, a e kaa hoi i ka palaoa, E wehe i kou pale maka, e waiho aku ka huakapu, E wehe i ka uha, a e hele ae i kela aoao o na muliwai.
Take millstones and grind flour; remove your veil; strip off your skirt, bare your thigh, and wade through the streams.
3 E weheia auanei kou hena, a e ikeia hoi kou wahi hilahila; E hoopai io no wau, aole e pakele kekahi kanaka ia'u.
Your nakedness will be uncovered and your shame will be exposed. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one.”
4 O ko kakou Hoolapanai, o Iehova o na kaua kona inoa, O ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela.
Our Redeemer—the LORD of Hosts is His name— is the Holy One of Israel.
5 E noho ekemu ole oe, a e hele aku hoi, a iloko o ka pouli, E ke kaikamahine o ko Kaledea; No ka mea, aole oe e kapa hou ia. He haku wahine o na aupuni.
“Sit in silence and go into darkness, O Daughter of Chaldea. For you will no longer be called the queen of kingdoms.
6 Ukiuki aku la au i ko'u poe kanaka, Ua hoohaumia au i ko'u poe hooilina, Ua haawi hoi au ia lakou iloko o kou lima; Aole oe i hoike aku i ke aloha ia lakou, Ua hookaumaha oe i kau auamo maluna o ka mea elemakule.
I was angry with My people; I profaned My heritage, and I placed them under your control. You showed them no mercy; even on the elderly you laid a most heavy yoke.
7 Ua olelo no oe, E mau loa no ko'u noho haku wahine ana; Aole hoi oe i manao i keia mau mea ma kou naau, Aole i noonoo i kona hope.
You said, ‘I will be queen forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.
8 Nolaila, e hoolohe mai oe i keia, e ka mea olioli, Ka mea e noho makau ole ana; Ka mea olelo ma kou naau, Owau ana no, aohe mea e ae, ke kaawale au; Aole au e noho wahine kanemake ana, Aole hoi au e ike i ka lilo keiki ana,
So now hear this, O lover of luxury who sits securely, who says to herself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a widow or know the loss of children.’
9 Aka, e kau hoohikilele mai no keia mau mea elua maluna ou, ma ka la hookahi, O ka lilo keiki ana, a me ka wahinekanemake ana: E kau loa mai no ia mau mea maluna ou ma ka oiaio maoli, No ka nui o kou kilokilo ana, a no ka nui loa o kou hoopiopio ana.
These two things will overtake you in a moment, in a single day: loss of children, and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.
10 Ua hilinai no hoi oe ma kou hewa; A ua olelo no oe, Aohe mea ike mai ia'u. O kou akamai, a me kou ike, ua hookahuli ia ia oe; A ua olelo no oe maloko o kou naau, Owau ana no, aohe mea e ae, ke kaawale au.
You were secure in your wickedness; you said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray; you told yourself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
11 Nolaila, e hiki mai no ka hewa maluna ou, Aole oe e ike i kahi e hiki mai ai; E haule mai no ka popilikia maluna ou, Aole hiki ia oe ke kala aku ia. E hele hoohikilele mai no ka make maluna ou, Aole oe e ike aku.
But disaster will come upon you; you will not know how to charm it away. A calamity will befall you that you will be unable to ward off. Devastation will happen to you suddenly and unexpectedly.
12 E ku mai hoi oe me kou hoopiopio ana, A me kou kilokilo ana, he nui loa, Me ka mea au i hooikaika'i, mai kou wa opiopio mai; Ina paha e hiki ia oe ke hoopomaikaiia, Ina paha e ku lanakila oe.
So take your stand with your spells and with your many sorceries, with which you have wearied yourself from your youth. Perhaps you will succeed; perhaps you will inspire terror!
13 Ua luhi no oe i ka nui loa o kou kukakuka ana: E ku mai ano na kilolani, a me na kilokilohoku, a me na mea haiouli ma ka malama, A e hoola hoi ia oe, mai ka mea e hiki mai ana maluna ou.
You are wearied by your many counselors; let them come forward now and save you— your astrologers who observe the stars, who monthly predict your fate.
14 Aia hoi, e like auanei lakou me ka opala, Na ke ahi no lakou e hoopau; Aole lakou e hoopakele ia lakou iho, mai ka mana o ka lapalapa ahi; Aole e koe ana ka lanahu ahi i mea e mahaua'i, Aole ahi e koe, i noho kekahi imua o ia.
Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There will be no coals to warm them or fire to sit beside.
15 Pela auanei ia oe, ka poe au i hana pu ai, Kou poe kalepa hoi, mai kou wa opiopio mai: E auwana no kela mea keia mea i kona aoao iho, Aohe mea e hoola ia oe.
This is what they are to you— those with whom you have labored and traded from youth— each one strays in his own direction; not one of them can save you.
