Joel 1
1 The Lord’s message that came to Joel, son of Pethuel.
O KA olelo a Iehova ia Ioela ke keiki a Petuela.
2 Hear this, elders, pay attention, all inhabitants of the land. Has anything like this happened in your days, or in the days of your ancestors?
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?
3 Recount it to your children; let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the generation that follows.
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.
4 That which the cutting locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten, that which the swarming locust has left, the hopping locust has eaten, and that which the hopping locust has left, the destroying locust has eaten.
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.
5 Awake, drunkards, and weep, and wail, all drinkers of wine; the new wine is cut off from your mouth.
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.
6 For a nation has come up on my land, powerful, and numberless; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and its jaw-teeth are like those of a lioness.
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.
7 It has laid waste my vines, and barked my fig tree; it has peeled and cast it away, bleached are the branches.
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.
8 Wail as a bride, clad in sack-cloth, for the husband of her youth.
E uwe iho e like me ka wahine mare i kaeiia i ke kapa inoino no ke kane o kona wa opiopio.
9 Cut off are the cereal and drink-offerings from the house of the Lord; in mourning are the priests, who minister at the Lord’s altar.
Ua okiia ka mohai makana, a me ka mohai inu mai ka hale o Iehova aku; Ua uwe na kahuna, na lawehana a Iehova.
10 The fields are blasted, the land is in mourning, for ruined is the corn, the new wine fails and the oil is dried up.
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.
11 Be dismayed, farmers; wail, vine-dressers. For the wheat and the barley; for the harvest is lost from the fields.
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.
12 The vine fails to bear fruit, and the fig tree is drooping; the pomegranate, palm, and apple, all the trees of the field are dried up. The people’s joy withers.
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;
13 Put on sackcloth, and beat your breasts, priests; wail, ministers of the altar; come, lie all night in sack-cloth, ministers of God; for cereal-offering and drink-offering are cut off from the house of your God.
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.
14 Sanctify a fast, summon an assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, cry to the Lord:
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.
15 Alas for the day! Near at hand is the day of the Lord, and as destruction from the Almighty it comes.
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.
16 Is not food cut off from before us, gladness and joy from the house of our God?
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?
17 The grains shrivel under their hoes, the storehouses are desolate, the barns broken down, for the corn is withered.
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.
18 How the herds of cattle bellow in distress, for they have no pasture! The flocks of sheep are forlorn.
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.
19 To you, the Lord, I cry. For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and flame has scorched all the trees of the field.
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.
20 The wild animals also look up to you longingly, for the water-courses are dried up, and fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
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.
