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.
Drink this first. Act quickly, O land of Zabulon, land of Nephthalim, and the rest [inhabiting] the sea-coast, and [the land] beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
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.
O people walking in darkness, behold a great light: you that dwell in the region [and] shadow of death, a light shall shine upon you.
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.
The multitude of the people which you have brought down in your joy, they shall even rejoice before you as they that rejoice in harvest, and as they that divide the spoil.
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.
Because the yoke that was laid upon them has been taken away, and the rod that was on their neck: for he has broken the rod of the exactors, as in the day of Madiam.
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 they shall compensate for every garment that has been acquired by deceit, and [all] raiment with restitution; and they shall be willing, [even] if they were burnt with 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 a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him.
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 government shall be great, and of his peace there is no end: [it shall be] upon the throne of David, and [upon] his kingdom, to establish it, and to support [it] with judgment and with righteousness, from henceforth and forever. The seal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.
8 Ka olelo a ka Haku i hoouna aku ai no Iakoba, A haule hoi ia maluna o ka Iseraela.
The Lord has sent death upon Jacob, and it has come 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, and they that lived in Samaria shall know, who say in their pride and lofty 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 are fallen down, but come, let us hew stones, and cut down sycamores and cedars, and let us build for ourselves a tower.
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 God shall dash down them that rise up against him on mount Sion, and shall scatter his enemies;
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.
[even] Syria from the rising of the sun, and the Greeks from the setting of the sun, who devour Israel with open mouth. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but still [his] hand is exalted.
13 Aole nae i hoi hou na kanaka, I ka mea nana lakou i hahau, Aole lakou i imi ia Iehova o na kaua.
But the people turned not until they were struck, and they sought not the Lord.
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.
So the Lord took away from Israel the head and tail, great and small, 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 old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, 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 they that pronounce this people blessed shall mislead them; and they mislead them that they may devour them.
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.
Therefore the Lord shall not take pleasure in their young men, neither shall he have pity on their orphans or on their widows: for they are all transgressors and wicked, and every mouth speaks unjustly. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
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.
And iniquity shall burn as fire, and shall be devoured by fire as dry grass: and it shall burn in the thickets of the wood, and shall devour all that is round about the hills.
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 whole earth is set on fire because of the fierce anger of the Lord, and the people shall be as men burnt by fire: no man shall pity his 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.
But [one] shall turn aside to the right hand, for he shall be hungry; and shall eat on the left, and a man shall by no means be satisfied with eating the flesh of his own arm.
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.
For Manasses shall eat [the flesh] of Ephraim, and Ephraim [the flesh] of Manasses; for they shall besiege Juda together. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
