< Isaia 7 >
1 I KE kau ia Ahaza, ke keiki a Iotama, ke keiki a Uzia, ke alii o ka Iuda, hele mai o Rezina, ke alii o Suria, a me Peka, ke keiki a Remalia, ke alii o ka Iseraela, e ku e ia Ierusalema, kaua mai, aole nae i hiki ia lakou ke lanakila maluna o ia wahi.
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2 A haiia mai la i ko ka hale o Davida, i ka i ana mai, Ke hoomoana nei ko Suria maloko o ko Eperaima. Alaila, haalulu ka naau o ke alii, a me ka naau o kona poo kanaka, o like me ka haalulu ana o na laau o ka ululaau imua o ka makani.
And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
3 I mai la o Iehova ia Isaia, O hele, ano, e halawai me Ahaza, o oe, a me Seariasuba, kau keiki, ma ka welau o ka auwai o ka waipuna luna, ma ke ala e hiki aku ai ke kula holoi lole;
Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field;
4 A e i aku oe ia ia, E ao oe, e noho malie; Mai makau hoi, mai maule kou naau, No na welowelo alua o keia mau momoku ahi, O ka huhu o Rezina, a me ko Suria, a me ko keiki a Remalia.
And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 No ka imi hala o ko Suria ia oe, A me Eperaima, a me ke keiki a Remalia, i ka i ana ae,
Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
6 E pii ku e kakou i ka Iuda, e hoopilikia aku hoi, A e mahele ia wahi no kakou, A e hoonoho i ke keiki a Tabeala, i alii maloko ona.
Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, [even] the son of Tabeal:
7 Ke i mai nei ka Haku, o Iehova penei, Aole e ku keia, aole ia e hanaia.
Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
8 O ke poo o Suria, o Damaseko ia, A o ke poo o Damaseko, o Rezina no; He kanaonokumamalima makahiki i koe, Alaila, kahuli o Eperaima, a lilo i aupuni ole.
For the head of Syria [is] Damascus, and the head of Damascus [is] Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
9 O Samaria no ke poo o Eperaima, A o ke poo hoi o Samaria, oia ke keiki a Remalia. I ole oukou e manaoio i keia, aole oukou e malu.
And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, and the head of Samaria [is] Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
10 Olelo hou mai o Iehova ia Ahaza, i mai la,
Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
11 E nonoi oe i hoailona nou, mai Iehova, mai kou Akua mai; E nonoi ma ka hohonu, a ma kahi kiekie paha. (Sheol )
Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. (Sheol )
12 I aku la o Ahaza, Aole au e nonoi, Aole hoi au e aa aku ia Iehova.
But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
13 Alaila, i mai la ia, E hoolohe oukou, e ka ohana a Davida, He mea uuku anei ia oukou ke hoopaupauaho i kanaka? E hoopaupauaho pu anei oukou i ko'u Akua?
And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; [Is it] a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
14 Nolaila, na ka Haku ponoi no e haawi mai ia oukou i hoailona; Aia hoi! e hapai ana no kekahi wahine puupaa, A e hanau mai hoi ia i keiki, A e kapa aku no oia i kona inoa, o IMANUELA.
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15 O ka waiu paa a me ka mele kana e ai ai, A ike oia i ka hoole i ka hewa, a e koho hoi i ka pono.
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
16 No ka mea, mamua o ka ike ana o ke keiki e hoole i ka hewa, A e koho hoi i ka pono, E neoneo e no ka aina o ua mau alii la elua au e makau nei.
For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
17 Na Iehova no e hoopuka mai maluna ou, A maluna hoi o kou poe kanaka, A maluna o ka hale o kou makuakane, I na la i hiki ole mai ai mamua, Mai ka wa mai o ko Eperaima haalele ana i ka Iuda; I ke alii no Asuria.
The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; [even] the king of Assyria.
18 A hiki aku i kela la, Na Iehova no e pio aku i ka nalo, E noho ana ma na welau o na muliwai o Aigupita, A i ka nalo-hope-eha, ma ka aina o Asuria;
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall hiss for the fly that [is] in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that [is] in the land of Assyria.
19 A e hele mai hoi lakou, a e kau mai lakou a pau, Ma na kahawai olohelohe, a ma na lua o na pohaku, A ma ka nahele ooi a pau, A ma na kula holoholona a pau.
And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.
20 Ia la la, na ka Haku no e kahi, me ka pahi-kahi i hoolimalimaia, ma kela aoao o ka muliwai, Me ke alii hoi o Asuria, I ke poo, a me ke oho o na kapuwai; A e kahiia no hoi ka umiumi.
In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, [namely], by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
21 A hiki aku i kela la, E hanai no ke kanaka i ka bipi ohi, a me na hipa elua;
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
22 A no ka nui loa mai o ka waiu, E ai no ia i ka waiupaa; E ai io no i ka waiupaa a me ka meli, O ka poe a pau i koe ma ka aina.
And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk [that] they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
23 A hiki aku i kela la, O kahi a pau i ulu ai na kumuwaina, he tausani, I kuaiia no na hapalua he tausani, E paapu ia wahi i ka nahele ooi, a me ka laau kalakala.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall [even] be for briers and thorns.
24 Me na pua a me na kakaka lakou e hele ai ilaila, No ka mea, e nahelehele ana no ka aina a pau, I ka laau kalakala a me ka nahele ooi.
With arrows and with bows shall [men] come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
25 Ma na mauna a pau i olaolaoia i ka oo, Aohe mea hele ilaila, No ka makau i ka laau kalakala, a me ka nahele ooi: He wahi ia e hoouna aku ai i ka bipi, He wahi hoi e hahi ai na hipa.
And [on] all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
