Zepania 2
1 E HOAO ia oukou iho, a e hoaoia hoi, e ka lahuikanaka hilahila ole;
Be you gathered and closely joined together, O unchastened nation;
2 Mamua o ka hiki ana mai o ka olelopaa, Mamua o ka hele ana o ka la e like me ka opala; Mamua mai o ke kau ana mai o ka inaina enaena o Iehova ia oukou; Mamua mai o ke kau ana mai o ka la o ko Iehova inaina ia oukou.
before you become as the flower that passes away, before the anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the wrath of the Lord come upon you.
3 E imi oukou ia Iehova, e ka poe akahai a pau o ka honua, Ka poe i hahai i kona makemake: E imi i ka pono, e imi i ke akahai; I maluhia ai paha oukou i ka la o ko Iehova inaina.
Seek you the Lord, all you meek of the earth; do judgment, and seek justice, and answer accordingly; that you may be hid in the day of the wrath of the Lord.
4 No ka mea, e haaleleia auanei o Gaza, E neoneo auanei hoi o Asekelona. E hookukeia auanei o Asedoda i ka wa awakea, A e hookahuliia o Ekerona.
For Gaza shall be utterly spoiled, and Ascalon shall be destroyed; and Azotus shall be cast forth at noon-day, and Accaron shall be rooted up.
5 Auwe ka poe e noho ana ma kahakai! O ka poe Kereti! ke ku e nei ka olelo a Iehova ia oukou. E Kanaana, ka aina o ko Pilisetia, E hoopau auanei au ia oe i koe ole kekahi kanaka.
Woe to them that dwell on the border of the sea, neighbors of the Cretans! the word of the Lord is against you, O Chanaan, land of the Philistines, and I will destroy you out of [your] dwelling-place.
6 A e lilo auanei ka aina kahakai i wahi no na hale kahuhipa, a me na pahipa.
And Crete shall be a pasture of flocks, and a fold of sheep.
7 A e lilo ua aina la no ke koena o ka ohana a Iuda; E ai auanei lakou iloko olaila: A i ke ahiahi, e moe lakou iloko o na hale o Asekelona; No ka mea, e ike mai auanei o Iehova ko lakou Akua ia lakou, A e hoihoi mai i ko lakou poe pio.
And the sea cost shall be for the remnant of the house of Juda; they shall pasture upon them in the houses of Ascalon; they shall rest in the evening because of the children of Juda; for the Lord their God has visited them, and he will turn away their captivity.
8 Ua lohe au i ka hoohewa ana mai a ka Moaba, A me ka olelo hoino ana a ka Amona, I ka mea a lakou i hoino ai i ko'u poe kanaka, A hookiekie ae la e ku e mai i ko lakou palena aina.
I have heard the revilings of Moab, and the insults of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reviled my people, and magnified themselves against my coasts.
9 Nolaila, ma kuu ola ana, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, O ke Akua no ka Iseraela, E like auanei o Moaba me Sodoma, a o ka Amona e like me Gomora, He nahelehele ooi, me na lua paakai, a me ka neoneo mau loa: Na ke koena o ko'u poe kanaka lakou e hao aku, A e lilo lakou no ke koena o ko'u poe kanaka.
Therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall be as Sodoma, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrha; and Damascus [shall be] left as a heap of the threshing floor, and desolate for ever: and the remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the remnant of my nations shall inherit them.
10 E hiki no ia mea ia lakou, no ko lakou hoohanohano ana, No ka olelo hoino ana a lakou i haanou ai, A me ka hookiekie ku e i ka poe kanaka o Iehova o na kaua.
This is their punishment in return for their haughtiness, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the Lord Almighty.
11 He mea hooweliweli auanei o Iehova ia lakou; No ka mea, e hoohoka auanei oia i na akua a pau o ka honua; A e hoomana aku ia ia ko na aina a pau o kanaka e, O kela mea keia mea ma kona wahi iho.
The Lord shall appear against them, and shall utterly destroy all the gods of the nations of the earth; and they shall worship him every one from his place, [even] all the islands of the nations.
12 Oukou no hoi, e ko Aitiopa, E houia auanei hoi oukou i kuu pahikaua.
You Ethiopians also are the slain of my sword.
13 E o aku hoi oia i kona lima e ku e i ke kukulu akau, A e luku aku ia Asuria; a e hooneoneo ia Nineva, A panoa e like me ka waoakua.
And he shall stretch forth his hand against the north and destroy the Assyrian, and make Nineve a dry wilderness, [even] as a desert.
14 E moe iho na ohana hipa iloko ona, A me na holoholona a pau o na aina: E moe no hoi ka pelikana, a me ke kipoda maluna o na kia pohaku ona: E hookani ko lakou leo ma na puka makani ona; He neoneo ma na paepae puka, no ka mea, e weheia auanei na papa kedera ona.
And flocks, and all the wild beasts of the land, and chameleons shall feed in the midst thereof: and hedgehogs shall lodge in the ceilings thereof; and wild beasts shall cry in the breaches thereof, and ravens in her porches, whereas her loftiness was [as] as cedar.
15 O keia ke kulanakauhale olioli i noho nanea, Ka mea i olelo iho iloko o kona naau, Owau wale no, aohe lua! Nani kona lilo ana i mea neoneo, kahi e moe ai na holoholona hihiu! O ka mea e maalo ana ae ia wahi, e kahaha ia me ka hooluliluli aku i kona lima.
