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.
Yahweh said to me, “Take a large tablet and write on it, '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.
I will summon faithful witnesses to attest for me, 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.
I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Call his name 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 child knows to cry, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.”
5 Aka, olelo hou mai la o Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Yahweh spoke to me again,
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 refused the gentle waters of Shiloah, and is happy over Rezin and Remaliah'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.
therefore the Lord is about to bring up on them the waters of the River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels and overflow 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.
The River will sweep onward into Judah, flooding and passing on, until it reaches to your neck. Its outstretched wings will fill the breadth of your land, 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.
You peoples will be broken to pieces. Listen, all you distant countries: arm yourselves for war and be broken in pieces; arm yourselves and 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.
Form a plan, but it will not be carried out; issue the command, but it will not be carried out, 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,
Yahweh spoke to me, with his strong hand upon me, and warned 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 anything that this people calls conspiracy, you will not fear what they fear, and do not be terrified.
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.
It is Yahweh of hosts whom you will honor as holy; he is the one you must fear, and he is the one you must 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.
He will become a sanctuary; but he will be a stone of striking, and a rock of stumbling— for both the houses of Israel, and he will be a trap and a snare to the people 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.
Many will stumble over it and fall and be broken, and 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 my testimony, seal the official record, and give it to 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 Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob; I will 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.
See, I and the sons whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, who lives 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?
They will say to you, “Consult with the mediums and spiritists,” those who chirp and mutter incantations. But should a people not consult their God? Should they 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 say such things, it is because 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 pass through the land greatly distressed and hungry. When they are hungry, they will become angry and curse their king and their God, as they turn their faces upward.
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.
They will look at the earth and see distress, darkness, and oppressive gloom. They will be driven into a land of darkness.
