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.
And the Lord said to me: Take thee a great book, and write in it with a man’s pen. Take sway the spoils with speed, quickly take the prey.
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 took unto me faithful witnesses, Urias the priest, and Zacharias the son of Barachias.
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 went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. And the Lord said to me: Call his name, Hasten to take away the spoils: Make haste to take away the prey.
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 child know to call his father and his mother, the strength of Damascus, and the spoils of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of the Assyrians.
5 Aka, olelo hou mai la o Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the Lord spoke to me again, saying:
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;
Forasmuch as this people hath cast away the waters of Siloe, that go with silence, and hath rather taken Basin, and the son of Romelia:
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.
Therefore behold the Lord will bring upon them the waters of the river strong and many, the king of the Assyrians, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and shall overflow all his 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.
And shall pass through Juda, overflowing, and going over shall reach even to the neck. And the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Emmanuel.
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.
Gather yourselves together, O ye people, and be overcome, and give ear, all ye lands afar off: strengthen yourselves, and be overcome, gird yourselves, and be overcome.
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.
Take counsel together, and it shall be defeated: speak a word, and it shall not be done: because 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 thus saith the Lord to me: As he hath taught me, with a strong arm, that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:
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.
Say ye not: A conspiracy: for all that this people speaketh, is a conspiracy: neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
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.
Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself: and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
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 shall be a sanctification to you. But for a stone or stumbling, and for a rock of offence to the two houses of Israel, for a snare and a ruin to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
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.
And very many of them shall stumble and fall, and shall be broken in pieces, and shall be snared, and taken.
16 E opeope i ka hoike ana, E hoopaa hoi i ka wanana, imua o ka'u poe haumana.
Bind up the testimony, 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.
And I will wait for the Lord, who hath hid his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for 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.
Behold I and my children, whom the Lord hath given me for a sign, and for a wonder in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Sion.
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?
And when they shall say to you: Seek of pythons, and of diviners, who mutter in their enchantments: should not the people seek of their God, for the living of the dead?
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 rather, and to the testimony. And if they speak not according to this word, they shall not have the morning light.
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.
And they shall pass by it, they shall fall, and be hungry: and when they shall be hungry, they will be angry, and curse their king, and their God, and look upwards.
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.
And they shall look to the earth, and behold trouble and darkness, weakness and distress, and a mist following them, and they cannot fly away from their distress.
