< Isaia 3 >

1 A IA hoi, o Iehova, ka Haku o na kaua, E lawe ana ia i na kookoo a pau, Mai ko Ierusalema, a mai ka Iuda aku, I ke kookoo a pau ma ka ai, i ke kookoo a pau ma ka wai,
For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, every stay of bread, and every stay of water;
2 I ka mea ikaika, a me ke kanaka koa, I ka lunakanawai, a me ke kaula. I ka mea kilokilo, a me ka mea kahiko;
The mighty man, and the man of war; the judge, and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder;
3 I ka lunakanalima, a me ke kanaka koikoi, I ke kakaolelo, a me ka mea ike i na hana, I ka mea no hoi i akamai i ka hoowalewale moo.
The captain of fifty, and the man of rank, and the counsellor, and the cunning charmer, and the skilful enchanter.
4 E haawi aku no hoi au, e noho na kamalii maluna o lakou, E noho alii no na keiki uuku maluna o lakou.
And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
5 E hookaumahaia na kanaka, kekahi e kekahi, A me ke kanaka hoi e kona hoa; A e hookiekie no ka mea opiopio maluna o ka mea kahiko, A me ka mea i hoowahawahaia maluna o ka mea hanohano.
And the people shall oppress one another, every man his fellow, and every man his neighbour; the child shall behave insolently against the aged, and the base against the honourable,
6 E lalau no ke kanaka i kona hoahanau o ka hale o kona makuakane, me ka olelo iho, Ea, he aahu no kou, e noho alii oe maluna o makou, Malalo hoi o kou lima keia pilikia.
For a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father: 'Thou hast a mantle, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.'
7 Ia la la, e hookiekie no kela i kona leo, me ka olelo mai, Aole au e noho hooponopono maluna o oukou, No ka mea, aohe ai ma ko'u hale, aole hoi he mea aahu; Mai hoonoho ia'u i alii maluna o kanaka;
In that day shall he swear, saying: 'I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor a mantle; ye shall not make me ruler of a people.'
8 No ka mea, ua kulanalana o Ierusalema, ua haule hoi o Iuda; No ke ku e o ko lakou elelo a me ka lakou hana ia Iehova, E hoonaukiuki aku i kona mau maka hanohano.
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of His glory.
9 O ka ike ana i ko lakou helehelena ka i hoike no lakou; Ke hai nei hoi lakou i ko lakou hewa e like me Sodoma, Aole lakou i hoole. Auwe ko lakou poe uhane! No ka mea, ua lawe mai lakou i ka hewa maluna o lakou iho.
The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have wrought evil unto themselves.
10 E olelo aku oukou i na mea i pono, e pomaikai lakou, No ka mea, e ai no lakou i ka hua o ka lakou hana ana.
Say ye of the righteous, that it shall be well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Auwe hoi ka mea i hewa! e poino no ia; E haawiia'ku nana ka uku o kona mau lima.
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him; for the work of his hands shall be done to him.
12 O ko'u poe kanaka, o na kamal i ko lakou poe luna alunu, O na wahine hoi ka i noho alii maluna o lakou. E kuu poe kanaka, he poe hoolalau kou poe alakai, A ke hoopau nei lakou i ko oukou mau alanui.
As for My people, a babe is their master, and women rule over them. O My people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13 Ke ku nei no o Iehova e hoakaka mai, Ua ku no ia iluna e hooponopono i na kanaka.
The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the peoples.
14 E hele mai ana no o Iehova e hoopai, I na lunakahiko o kona poe kanaka, a me ko lakou poe alii: Ua hoopau oukou i na pawaina; Aia hoi ma ko oukou hale ka waiwai kaili wale ia o ka poe hune.
The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of His people, and the princes thereof: 'It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses;
15 No ke aha la oukou e hookaumaha nei i ko'u poe kanaka? A e anai i na maka o ka poe hune? Wahi a ka Haku, o Iehova o na kaua.
What mean ye that ye crush My people, and grind the face of the poor?' saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts.
16 Ua olelo mai no hoi o Iehova, No ka laua haakei o na kaikamahine o Ziona, A hele me ka oeoe o na a-i, A me ka makaleho hilahila ole; He hele hooioi ko lakou hele, A kanikani na kupee o ko lakou wawae:
Moreover the LORD said: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet;
17 E hooolohelohe no ka Haku i ka pikopoo o na kaikamahine o Ziona, E hoike no o Iehova i ko lakou wahi hilahila,
Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will lay bare their secret parts.
18 Ia la la, e lawe aku no ka Haku i ko lakou mea e nani ai, I na kupee wawae, A me na upena papale oho, A me na lei o ka a i;
In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their anklets, and the fillets, and the crescents;
19 I na gula pepeiao, a me na kupee lima, A me na pale kalukalu;
the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils;
20 I na papale hainaka, a me na kaula kupee wawae, I na kaei, a me na hue laau ala, A me na mea pale akua;
the headtires, and the armlets, and the sashes, and the corselets, and the amulets;
21 I na komolima, a me na gula ihu,
the rings, and the nose-jewels;
22 I na aahu kuai nui, a me na holoku, I na kalukalu nui, a me na hipuu kala;
the aprons, and the mantelets, and the cloaks, and the girdles;
23 I na aniani nana, a me na palule, I na ribina lei o ke poo, A me na aahu nui.
and the gauze robes, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the mantles.
24 Ma kahi i aala, e pilau ana no, Ma kahi kaei, he kaula, Ma ke oho owili e ohule ana no, Ma kahi o ka pa-u hanohano, he kaei inoino, Ma kahi maikai e paawela ana no.
And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle rags; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; branding instead of beauty.
25 E haule no kou poe kanaka i ka pahikaua, A me kou poe koa hoi ma ke kaua.
Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
26 E uwe, a e u hoi kona mau pukapa, A e noho neoneo oia ma ka lepo.
And her gates shall lament and mourn; and utterly bereft she shall sit upon the ground.
