Ioela 3
1 NO ka mea, aia hoi, i kela mau la, a i kela manawa, I ka wa e hoi hou mai ai au i ka pio ana o ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema,
At that time when this happens, when I bring back the exiles to Judah and Jerusalem,
2 E hoakoakoa hoi au i na lahuikanaka a pau, A e lawe mai la lakou ilalo i ke awawa o Iehosapata, A e hookolokolo au me lakou no kuu poe kanaka, A no kuu hooilina, no ka Iseraela, Ka poe a lakou i hoopuehu aku ai iwaena o na lahuikanaka, A i puunaue hoi i kuu aina.
I will gather together all the nations in the valley of Jehoshaphat and I will judge them there over my people Israel, my inheritance, whom they have scattered among the nations, and have divided up my land.
3 A ua hailona lakou no kuu poe kanaka; Ua haawi lakou i keikikane no ka wahine moe kolohe, A kuai aku i kaikamahine no ka waina, i inu ai lakou.
They cast lots for my people; they traded boys in payment for prostitutes and girls to buy wine to drink.
4 A heaha hoi ka oukou ia'u, e Turo, a me Zidona? A me na palena a pau o Pilisetia? E hoihoi mai anei oukou i ka uku ia'u? Ina e hoihoi mai oukou i ka uku ia'u, Owau no kekahi e hoihoi koke loa aku i ko oukou uku maluna o ko oukou poo.
Also, what have you got to do with me, Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you trying to get back at me? If you are trying to pay me back, I will quickly pay you back what you deserve for what you've done.
5 No ka mea, ua lawe aku oukou i kuu kala, a me kuu gula, A ua hali aku oukou i kuu mau mea makamae iloko o ko oukou mau luakini.
You stole my silver and my gold and my best treasures, and you put them in your temples.
6 A o na keiki a Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema ka oukou i kuai aku i ka poe Helene, I hali loihi aku ia lakou mai ko lakou palena aku.
You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks so they could be sent far away from their land.
7 Aia hoi, e hoala mai au ia lakou mai kahi a oukou i kuai aku ai ia lakou, A e hoihoi aku au i ko oukou uku maluna o ko oukou poo;
But watch out! I will get them moving from the places you sold them to, and bring them back, and I will pay you back what you deserve for what you've done.
8 A e kuai aku au i ka oukou poe kaikamahine, A i ka oukou poe keikikane i ka lima o na keiki a Iuda, A o lakou hoi e kuai aku ia lakou la i na Seba, I ka lahuikanaka mamao aku; No ka mea, oia ka Iehova i olelo mai.
I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, a distant nation. I the Lord have spoken.
9 E hai aku oukou i keia iwaena o na lahuikanaka; E hoomakaukau oukou no ke kaua, E hoala mai i ka poe ikaika, E hookokoke mai na kanaka kaua a pau; E pii mai lakou:
Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war! Call up the mighty warriors! Let all the soldiers get ready and advance!
10 E kui oukou i ko oukou mau oopalau i pahikaua, A i ka oukou mau pahi paipai i mau ihe; A e olelo iho ka mea nawaliwali, Ua ikaika wau.
Hammer your plough blades and turn them into swords. Turn your pruning hooks into spears. Even the weak should say ‘I am a strong fighter!’
11 E akoakoa oukou, e hele mai, e na lahuikanaka a pau, E hoakoakoaia oukou a puni; Ilaila hoi oe, e Iehova, e huiho ilalo i kou poe ikaika.
Hurry up and come, all nations from everywhere, and gather there. Bring down your warriors, Lord!
12 E hoalaia na lahuikanaka, A e pii mai i ke awawa o Iehosapata; No ka mea, malaila wau e noho iho ai, e hooponopono i na lahuikanaka a pau e puni ana.
Let the nations get ready, let them come to the valley of Jehoshaphat for there I will sit in judgment on all the nations.
13 E hookomo oukou i ka pahikakiwi, No ka mea, ua oo ka ai; E hele mai oukou, e iho ilalo; No ka mea, ua piha ke kaomi waina, ua piha a hu iwaho na waihona waina; No ka mea, ua nui ko lakou hewa.
Start swinging the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come and tread the grapes for the winepress is full and the vats are overflowing because their wickedness has become so great.
14 Nui ka poe, he nui ka poe ma ke awawa o ka hoopai ana: No ka mea, ua kokoke ka la o Iehova ma ke awawa o ka hoopai ana:
Huge mobs are in the valley of the Lord's verdict. For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of his verdict.
15 E pouli ka la a me ka mahina, A e hoonalowale na hoku i ko lakou malamalama.
The sun and moon will become dark, and the stars will stop shining.
16 E uwo mai o Iehova mai Ziona mai, A e hoopuka mai i kona leo mai Ierusalema mai; A e haalulu ka lani a me ka honua: A o Iehova ka puuhonua no kona poe kanaka, A me kahi paa no na mamo a Iseraela.
The Lord will roar from Zion, shouting in a loud voice from Jerusalem, shaking the heavens and the earth. But the Lord will shelter his people, protecting the people of Israel.
17 Pela e ike ai oukou, owau no o Iehova ko oukou Akua, E noho ana ma Ziona, kuu mauna hoano: A e lilo o Ierusalema i hemolele, Aole e hele hou na malihini mawaena ona.
Then you will know that I, the Lord your God, dwell in Zion, my holy mountain, and Jerusalem will be a holy place forever, and no foreigners will ever march through her again.
18 A i kela la e hookulu na mauna i ka waina hou, A e hookahe mai na puu i ka waiu, A e kahe ka wai ma na kahawai a pau o Iuda, A e puapuai mai ka waipuna mai ka hale o Iehova mai, A e kahe aku ka wai ma ke awawa o Sitima.
At that time new wine will pour down the mountains, and the hills will flow with milk, and all the riverbeds of Judah will run with water. A spring will flow out of the Temple and will water the valley of Shittim.
19 A e lilo o Aigupita i neoneo, A o Edoma i waonahele neoneo, no ka hana ino ia o na mamo a Iuda, No ka mea, ua hookahe lakou i ke koko hala ole iloko o ko lakou aina.
But Egypt will become desolate, and Edom a desert wasteland, because of the violence they did against Judah, for in their land they shed innocent blood.
20 Aka, e noho mau loa ana o ka Iuda, A o ko Ierusalema ia hanauna aku, ia hanauna aku.
Judah will be lived in forever, and Jerusalem for all generations.
21 No ka mea, e huikala aku au i ko lakou koko, a'u i huikala ole aku ai: A e noho ana o Iehova ma Ziona.
Will I pardon and leave unpunished the shedding of innocent blood? The Lord lives in Zion!”
