Isaia 8
1 I MAI la o Iehova ia'u, E lawe oe i ka papa palapala nui nou, a e kahakaha maluna olaila me ka peni kahakaha, no Mahera-sala-hasaba.
Then the LORD said to me, “Take a large scroll and write on it with an ordinary stylus: Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
2 Alaila, lawe iho la au i kekahi mau mea pono, i poe hoike, ia Uria hoi i ke kahuna, a me Zekaria ke keiki a Ieberekia.
And I will appoint for Myself trustworthy witnesses—Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”
3 A ua hookokoke au i ke kaula wahine, a ua hapai no ia, a ua hanau, he keikikane. I mai la o Iehova ia'u, E kapa aku i kona inoa, Mahera-sala-hasaba.
And I had relations with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. The LORD said to me, “Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
4 No ka mea, mamua o ka ike ana o ke keiki e hea aku, E ko'u makuakane, e ko'u makuwahine, e laweia'ku no ka waiwai o Damaseko, a me ka waiwaipio o Samaria, imus o ke alii o Asuria.
For before the boy knows how to cry ‘Father’ or ‘Mother,’ the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried off by the king of Assyria.”
5 Aka, olelo hou mai la o Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the LORD spoke to me further:
6 No ka hoowahawaha aua o keia poe kanaka i ka wai o Siloa e kahe malie ana, A hauoli hoi ma Rezina, a me ke keiki a Remalia;
“Because this people has rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah and rejoiced in Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
7 Nolaila, aia hoi! e lawe mai no ka Haku maluna o lakou, I na wai he ikaika a he nui, o ka muliwai, I ke alii hoi o Asuria, a me kona hanohano alii a pao, A e hu no ia mawaho o kona manowai a pau, A e kahe hoi maluna o koua mau kapa a pau.
the Lord will surely bring against them the mighty floodwaters of the Euphrates — the king of Assyria and all his pomp. It will overflow its channels and overrun its banks.
8 E hu no ia maluna o Iuda, a holo moku hoi, E pii no a hiki i ka a-i; A o ka hohola ana o kona mau eheu, O ka palahalaha ia o kou aina, e Imanuela.
It will pour into Judah, swirling and sweeping over it, reaching up to the neck; its spreading streams will cover your entire land, O Immanuel!
9 E hana ino oukou, e na kanaka, a e mokuahana hoi; E holohe mai, e na aina a pau o kahi loihi; E kaei oukou ia oukou iho, e mokuahana no; E kaei oukou ia oukou iho, e mokuahana no.
Huddle together, O peoples, and be shattered; pay attention, all you distant lands; prepare for battle, and be shattered; prepare for battle, and be shattered!
10 E ohumn pu oukou, a e hookahuliia ka ohuma ana, E kau oukou i ka olelo, aole nae ia e paa: No ka mea, o ke Akua pu me makou.
Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; state a proposal, but it will not happen. For God is with us.”
11 Olelo o Iehova ia'u peuei, ma ke koi ana mai o ka lima, A ao mai la oia ia'u aole e hele ma ka aoao o keia poe kanaka, i mai la,
For this is what the LORD has spoken to me with a strong hand, instructing me not to walk in the way of this people:
12 Mai olelo oukou. He kipi. Ma na wahi a pau i olelo ai keia poe kanaka. He kipi; Mai makau oukou i ko laku mea e makau ai, Mai hopohopo hoi oukou.
“Do not call conspiracy everything these people regard as conspiracy. Do not fear what they fear; do not live in dread.
13 O Iehova o na kaua, oia ka oukou e hoolaa ai, Oia hoi ka oukou e makau ai, a e hopohopo hoi oukou ia ia.
The LORD of Hosts is the One you shall regard as holy. Only He should be feared; only He should be dreaded.
14 A e lilo ia i puuhonua, I pohaku no hoi kekahi e kuia'i, A i puu no hoi e hina'i No na ohana elua o ka Iseraela, I pahele, a i upiki no ka poe e noho ana ma Ierusalema.
And He will be a sanctuary— but to both houses of Israel a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, to the dwellers of Jerusalem a trap and a snare.
15 He nui ko lakou poe e kuia'i, A me ka poe e bina ana, a eha, A me ka poe e boopaheleia, a paa hoi.
Many will stumble over these; they will fall and be broken; they will be ensnared and captured.”
16 E opeope i ka hoike ana, E hoopaa hoi i ka wanana, imua o ka'u poe haumana.
Bind up the testimony and seal the law among my disciples.
17 Aka, e kakali no au ia Iehova, Ka mea i huna i kona maka mai ka ohana a Iakoba aku, A ia ia no wau e hilinai ai.
I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob. I will put my trust in Him.
18 Eia hoi au, a me na keiki a Iehova i haawi mai ai na'u, I mau hoailona, a i mau ouli hoi maloko o ka Iseraels, Mai Iehova o na kaua mai, Ka mea e noho la ma ka mauna o Ziona.
Here am I, and the children the LORD has given me as signs and symbols in Israel from the LORD of Hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.
19 A olelo mai lakou ia oukou, E hele i ka poe ninau kupapau, a i na kupua hoi, I ka poe muki, a me ka mea namu liilii; Aole anei e hele na kanaka i ko lakou Akua? E hele anei i ka poe make no na mea e ola ana?
When men tell you to consult the spirits of the dead and the spiritists who whisper and mutter, shouldn’t a people consult their God instead? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?
20 Ma ke kanawai, a ma ka hoike ana hoi; Ina olelo ole lakou e like me ia olelo, Aole e puka mai ke ao maluna o lakou.
To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.
21 E kuewa wale lakou malaila, Me ke kaumaha a me ka pololi; A hiki i ka wa e pololi ai lakou, Ia lakou iho no lakou e huhu ai, Alaila, e olelo hoino no lakou, I ko lakou alii, a me ko lakou Akua, Alaila, e nana no iluna.
They will roam the land, dejected and hungry. When they are famished, they will become enraged; and looking upward, they will curse their king and their God.
22 E nana hoi lakou ma ka aina; Aia hoi! he popilikia, a me ka pouli, He pouli ino hoi; Ua kipakuia iloko o ka poeleele.
Then they will look to the earth and see only distress and darkness and the gloom of anguish. And they will be driven into utter darkness.
