Ioela 1
1 O KA olelo a Iehova ia Ioela ke keiki a Petuela.
This is the word of the LORD that came to Joel son of Pethuel:
2 E hoolohe oukou i keia, e ka poe kahiko, E haliu mai ka pepeiao, e ka poe a pau o ka aina e noho ana; Ua hiki mai anei keia i ko oukou mau la, A i na la hoi o ko oukou mau makua?
Hear this, O elders; and give ear, all who dwell in the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days of your fathers?
3 E hai aku oukou i keia i ka oukou poe keiki, A o ka oukou mau keiki i ka lakou poe keiki, A o ka lakou mau keiki i ka hanauna mahope.
Tell it to your children; let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation.
4 O ka mea i koe i ka uhini hulu ole, ua pau ia i ka uhini: A o ka mea i koe i ka uhini, ua pau ia i ka uhini huluhulu, A o ka mea i koe i ka uhini huluhulu, ua pau ia i ka uhini hulu ole.
What the devouring locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; what the swarming locust has left, the young locust has eaten; and what the young locust has left, the destroying locust has eaten.
5 E ala oukou, e na mea on a, a e uwe iho; E aoa hoi, e na mea inu waina a pau, no ka waina hou, No ka mea, ua laweia'ku ia mai ko oukou waha aku.
Wake up, you drunkards, and weep; wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it has been cut off from your mouth.
6 No ka mea, ua hele mai ka lahuikanaka maluna o ko'u aina, he ikaika, aole e pau i ka helu, O kona mau niho, he niho o ka liona; A o kona niho aoao, he niho o ka liona wahine.
For a nation has invaded My land, powerful and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and its fangs are the fangs of a lioness.
7 Ua luku aku ia i kuu kumuwaina, A ua hemo i ka ili o kuu laau fiku: Ua hemo i kona ili a pau, a ua hoolei aku ia mea; Ua keokeo kona mau lala.
It has laid waste My grapevine and splintered My fig tree. It has stripped off the bark and thrown it away; the branches have turned white.
8 E uwe iho e like me ka wahine mare i kaeiia i ke kapa inoino no ke kane o kona wa opiopio.
Wail like a virgin dressed in sackcloth, grieving for the husband of her youth.
9 Ua okiia ka mohai makana, a me ka mohai inu mai ka hale o Iehova aku; Ua uwe na kahuna, na lawehana a Iehova.
Grain and drink offerings have been cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests are in mourning, those who minister before the LORD.
10 Ua lukuia ka mahinaai, Ua uwe ka aina, No ka mea, ua lukuia ka ai, Ua maloo ka waina hou, ua emi iho ka aila.
The field is ruined; the land mourns. For the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, and the oil fails.
11 E hilahila oukou, e na mahiai; E aoa oukou, e na mahiwaina, no ka huapalaoa, a no ka bale; No ka mea, ua nele ka ohi ai ana o ka mahinaai.
Be dismayed, O farmers, wail, O vinedressers, over the wheat and barley, because the harvest of the field has perished.
12 Ua maloo ke kumuwaina, Ua mae ka laau fiku; Ua mae ka laau pomagerane, o ka laau pama, a me ka laau ohia, o na laau a pau o ke kula: No ka mea, ua pau ka olioli o na keiki a kanaka;
The grapevine is dried up, and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, palm, and apple— all the trees of the orchard—are withered. Surely the joy of mankind has dried up.
13 E kaei ia oukou iho, a e kanikau, e na kahuna: E aoa oukou, e na lawehana o ke kuahu: E hele mai, e noho a ao ka po iloko o ke kapa inoino, e na lawehana a kuu Akua: No ka mea, ua hookiia ka mohai makana, a me ka mohai inu mai ka hale aku o ko oukou Akua.
Put on sackcloth and lament, O priests; wail, O ministers of the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God, because the grain and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God.
14 E hoolaa i ka hookeai ana, E kahea aku i ka halawai, E hoakoakoa i ka poe kahiko, I na kanaka a pau o ka aina, ma ka hale o Iehova ko oukou Akua, A e hea aku ia Iehova.
Consecrate a fast; proclaim a solemn assembly! Gather the elders and all the residents of the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.
15 Auwe no ka la! No ka mea, ua kokoke mai ka la o Iehova, A me he make la e hiki mai ai ia mai ka Mea mana mai.
Alas for the day! For the Day of the LORD is near, and it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
16 Aole anei i okiia ka ai imua o ko kakou maka? O ka olioli a me ka hauoli mai ka hale aku o ko kakou Akua?
Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes— joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 Ua popopo na hua malalo iho o ko lakou lepo, Ua wawahiia na hale papaa, Ua hoohioloia na hale ai; No ka mea, ua maloo ka ai.
The seeds lie shriveled beneath the clods; the storehouses are in ruins; the granaries are broken down, for the grain has withered away.
18 Nani ka u ana o na holoholona! Ua pilikia na kumu bipi, No ka mea, aohe ai na lakou; Ua hoopauia hoi na kumu hipa.
How the cattle groan! The herds wander in confusion because they have no pasture. Even the flocks of sheep are suffering.
19 E Iehova, ia oe no wau e kahea aku nei, No ka mea, ua ai ke ahi i ka uliuli o ka waonahele, Ua hoopau ka lapalapa ahi i na laau a pau o ke kula.
To You, O LORD, I call, for fire has consumed the open pastures and flames have scorched all the trees of the field.
20 Ke auwe aku nei na holoholona o ke kula ia oe; No ka mea, ua maloo na wai o na kahawai, A ua pau i ke ahi ka uliuli o ka waonahele.
Even the beasts of the field pant for You, for the streams of water have dried up, and fire has consumed the open pastures.
