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 unto me, Take thyself a large table, and write on it with distinct letters, Lemaher-shalal-chash-bas.
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 was to summon for myself trustworthy witnesses, Uriyah the priest, and Zecharyahu the son of Yeberechyahu.
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 came near unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the Lord to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-chash-bas.
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 yet the boy shall know to call, My father, and my mother, the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.
5 Aka, olelo hou mai la o Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the Lord continued to speak unto 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 despiseth the waters of Shiloach that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remalyahu's son:
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.
Yea therefore behold, the Lord bringeth up over them the strong and many waters of the river, —the king of Assyria, and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and step over 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 he shall penetrate into Judah, overflow and flood over, even to the neck shall he reach; and his outstretched wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O 'Immanu-el.
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.
Associate yourselves, O ye people, yet shall ye be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of the far portions of the earth: gird yourselves, yet shall ye be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, yet shall ye be broken in pieces.
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, yet shall it come to naught; speak the word, and it shall not stand firm; for with us is God.
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 said the Lord to me with the strength of prophecy, and warned me not to 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.
Call ye not a conspiracy all that this people may call a conspiracy, and what it feareth shall ye not fear, and be not terrified [thereat].
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, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your terror.
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 for a sanctuary; but also for a stone of stumbling and for a rock to fall over unto both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare 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 many shall stumble over them, and fall, and be broken, and snared, and be caught.
16 E opeope i ka hoike ana, E hoopaa hoi i ka wanana, imua o ka'u poe haumana.
Bind up the testimony, seal up 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, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope 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 the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for tokens in Israel, from the Lord of hosts who dwelleth 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?
And when they shall say unto you, “Inquire of those that have familiar spirits, and of the wizards, that whisper, and that mutter:” should not a people inquire of their God? [should we then] in behalf of the living [inquire] 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.
[Hold] to the law and to the testimony: if they are not to speak according to this word, in which there is no 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 the [people] shall pass through [the land], hard oppressed and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they will become enraged, and curse their king and their god, and turn toward on high [for aid].
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 will look unto the earth; and behold there are trouble and darkness, dimness of oppression, and they shall be scattered into obscurity.
