< 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,
For lo, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of 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.
Then I have gathered all the nations, And caused them to go down unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, And I have been judged with them there, Concerning My people and Mine inheritance — Israel, Whom they scattered among nations, And My land they have apportioned.
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.
And for My people they do cast a lot, And they give the young man for an harlot, And the young woman have sold for wine, That they may 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.
And also, what [are] ye to Me, O Tyre and Zidon, And all circuits of Philistia? Recompence are ye rendering unto Me? And if ye are giving recompence to Me, Swiftly, hastily, I turn back your recompence on your head.
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.
In that My silver and My gold ye took, And My desirable things that are good, Ye have brought in to 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.
And sons of Judah, and sons of Jerusalem, Ye have sold to the sons of Javan, To put them far off from their border.
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;
Lo, I am stirring them up out of the place Whither ye have sold them, And I have turned back your recompence on your head,
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.
And have sold your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they have sold them to Shabeans, Unto a nation far off, for Jehovah hath 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 ye this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come nigh, come up, let all the men of war.
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.
Beat your ploughshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, 'I [am] mighty.'
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.
Haste, and come in, all ye nations round, And be gathered together, Thither cause to come down, O Jehovah, Thy mighty ones.
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.
Wake and come up let the nations unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.
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.
Send ye forth a sickle, For ripened hath harvest, Come in, come down, for filled hath been the press, Overflowed hath wine-presses, For great [is] their wickedness.
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:
Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the valley of decision, For near [is] the day of Jehovah in the valley of decision.
15 E pouli ka la a me ka mahina, A e hoonalowale na hoku i ko lakou malamalama.
Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their 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.
And Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And shaken have the heavens and earth, And Jehovah [is] a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to sons 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.
And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem hath been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it 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.
And it hath come to pass, in that day, Drop down do the mountains juice, And the hills do flow [with] milk, And all streams of Judah do go [with] water, And a fountain from the house of Jehovah goeth forth, And hath watered 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.
Egypt a desolation becometh, And Edom a desolation, a wilderness, becometh, For violence [to] sons of Judah, Whose innocent blood they shed in their land.
20 Aka, e noho mau loa ana o ka Iuda, A o ko Ierusalema ia hanauna aku, ia hanauna aku.
And Judah to the age doth dwell, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.
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.
And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And Jehovah is dwelling in Zion!
