Isaia 9
1 I ka wa i hoowahawahaia'i ka aina o Zebuluna, a me ka aina o Napetali, A mahope iho, hoonani oia i kahi maikai, Ma kela aoao o Ioredane, o Galilaia no na kanaka e.
In the earlier time, the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali were lifted up. But in the later time, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, the Galilee of the Gentiles, was weighed down.
2 O na kanaka i hele ma ka pouli, E ike auanei lakou i ka malamalama nui; O ka poe i noho ma ka aina o ke aka o ka make, E alohi mai auanei ka malamalama maluna o lakou.
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. A light has risen for the inhabitants of the region of the shadow of death.
3 Ua hoonui oe i ka lahuikanaka, Ua hoomahuahua oe i ko lakou olioli; Ke olioli nei lakou imua ou, E like me ka olioli ana i ka hooiliili ai ana, E like hoi me ka hauoli ana o ka poe puunauwe i ka waiwai pio.
You have increased the nation, but you have not increased the rejoicing. They will rejoice before you, like those who rejoice at the harvest, like the victorious exulting after capturing the prey, when they divide the spoils.
4 No ka mea, o kona auamo kaumaha, O ka laau i hahau i kona kua, A me ke kookoo o ka mea hookaumaha ia ia, Ua haki oe ia mau mea me ia i ka la o Midiana.
For you have prevailed over the yoke of their burden, and over the rod of their shoulder, and over the scepter of their oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5 No ka mea, o na palewawae a pau o ka mea i kahikoia i ka palewawae e wawalo ana, A me na aahu i opeope pu ia me ke koko, E lilo no ia mau mea i mea e puhiia, I wahie hoi no ke ahi.
For every violent plunder with a tumult, and every garment mixed with blood, will be burned up and will become fuel for the fire.
6 No ka mea, ua hanauia mai, he keiki no kakou, No kakou i haawiia mai ai, he keikikane, Maluna o kona poohiwi ke aupuni; A e kapaia kona inoa, o Kupaianaha, O Kakaolelo, o Keakuamana, O Kamakuamauloa, o Kealiiokamalu.
For unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given. And leadership is placed upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called: wonderful Counselor, mighty God, father of the future age, Prince of Peace.
7 Aole e pau ka mahuahua ana o kona aupuni, a me ka malu; Ma ka nohoalii o Davida ia, A ma kona aupuni no hoi, E hoala hou ia mea, a e hookupaa ia ia, Me ka hooponopono, a me ka maikai, Mai keia wa aku, a i ke ao pau ole. Na ka ikaika o Iehova o na kaua e hana i keia.
His reign will be increased, and there will be no end to his peace. He will sit upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to confirm and strengthen it, in judgment and justice, from now even unto eternity. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall accomplish this.
8 Ka olelo a ka Haku i hoouna aku ai no Iakoba, A haule hoi ia maluna o ka Iseraela.
The Lord sent a word to Jacob, and it fell upon Israel.
9 E ike auanei na kanaka a pau o Eperaima, A me ka poe noho ma Samaria, Ka poe i olelo me ka hookiekie, a me ka hookano o ka naau,
And all the people of Ephraim will know it. And the inhabitants of Samaria will say it, in the arrogance and haughtiness of their heart:
10 Ua hiolo na pohaka lepo, A na makou e kukulu, he pohaka i kalaiia; Ua kuaia ilalo na laau sukomorea, A na makou no e kanu i na laau kedera.
“The bricks have fallen, but we will build with squared stones. They have cut down the sycamores, but we will replace them with cedars.”
11 Na Iehova no e hoala mai i na enemi o Rezina, e ku e ia ia, E paipai oia i kona poe enemi:
And the Lord will raise up the enemies of Rezin over him, and he will turn his adversaries into a tumult:
12 O na Suria ma ka hikina, a ma ke komohana hoi o na Pilisetia, A e hoopaa no i ka Iseraela me ka waha hamama: Aole nae i huli aka kona huhu no keia mau mea a pau, Ke o mai nei no oia i kona lima i keia manawa.
the Syrians from the east and the Philistines from the west. And they will devour Israel with their whole mouth. After all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
13 Aole nae i hoi hou na kanaka, I ka mea nana lakou i hahau, Aole lakou i imi ia Iehova o na kaua.
And the people did not return to the One who struck them, and they did not seek the Lord of hosts.
14 Nolaila e oki ai o Iehova, mai ka Iseraela aku, I ke poo, a me ka huelo, I ka lala pama, a me ke naku, ma ka la hookahi.
And so, the Lord will disperse, away from Israel, the head and the tail, he who bows down and he who refrains, in one day.
15 O ka lunakahiko a me ka mea koikoi, oia ke poo, O ke kaula i ao mai i ka wahahee, oia ka huelo.
The long-lived and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
16 O na alakai o keia poe kanaka, he poe alakai hewa lakou; A o ka poe i alakai hewa ia, e lukuia no lakou.
And those who deceitfully praise this people, and those who are praised, will be thrown down violently.
17 Nolaila, aole olioli ka Haku maluna o ko lakou poe ui. Aole hoi ia e aloha i na keiki makua ole o lakou, A me ko lakou wahinekanemake; No ka mea, ua haumia lakou a pau, a ua hewa, Olelo no na waha a pau ma ka lapawale. Aole nae i hali aku kona huhu no keia maa mea a pau, Aka, ke o mai nei no kona lima i keia manawa.
For this reason, the Lord will not rejoice over their youths. And he will not take pity on their orphans and widows. For each one is a hypocrite, and each one is wicked, and every mouth has spoken foolishness. After all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
18 No ka mea, e a ana ka hewa e like me ke ahi, E hoopaa no ia i ka nahele ooi, a me ka laau kalakala, A e a no hoi ia maloko o ka ululaau paapu; A e punohn iluna, he punohu u wahi.
For impiety has been kindled like a fire: it will devour brier and thorn, and it will burn in the dense forest, and it will be interwoven with the ascending smoke.
19 Ua hoaia ka aina, no ka ukiuki o Iehova o na kaua, A ua lilo hoi na kanaka i wahie no ke ahi; Aohe kanaka i aloha i kona hoa.
The earth has been shaken by the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and the people will become like fuel for the fire. A man will not spare his own brother.
20 E ai no ia ma ka lima akau, a e pololi nae, E ai no hoi ia ma ka lima hema, aole nae e maona; E ai no ke kanaka i ka io o kona lima iho.
And he will turn toward the right, and he will be hungry. And he will eat toward the left, and he will not be satisfied. Each one will eat the flesh of his own arm: Manasseh Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh, and together they will be against Judah.
21 O Manase ia Eperaima, a o Eperaima hoi ia Manase, A e hui no hoi laua e ku e ia Iuda; Aole nae i huli aku kona huhu no keia mau mea a pau, Aka, ke o mai nei no kona lima i keia manawa.
After all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
