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.
Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no more be called tender and 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 the millstones, and grind meal; remove thy veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
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.
Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen; I will take vengeance, and will let no man intercede.
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, 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 thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no more be called the mistress 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 wroth with My people, I profaned Mine inheritance, and gave them into thy hand; thou didst show them no mercy; upon the aged hast thou very heavily laid thy 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.
And thou saidst: 'For ever shall I be mistress'; so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the end thereof.
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,
Now therefore hear this, thou that art given to pleasures, that sittest securely, that sayest in thy heart: 'I am, and there is none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I 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.
But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come upon thee, for the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine enchantments.
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.
And thou hast been secure in thy wickedness, thou hast said: 'None seeth me'; thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thy heart. 'I am, and there is none else beside 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.
Yet shall evil came upon thee; thou shalt not know how to charm it away; and calamity shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it away; and ruin shall come upon thee suddenly, before thou knowest.
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.
Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
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.
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels; let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee.
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.
Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame; it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
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.
Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured; they that have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander every one to his quarter; there shall be none to save thee.
