Isaiah 16
1 Send forth, O Lord, the lamb, the ruler of the earth, from Petra of the desert, to the mount of the daughter of Sion.
E HOOKUPU oukou i keiki hipa na ke alii o ka aina, Mai Sela o ka waonahele mai, A i ka mauna o ke kaikamahine a Ziona.
2 And it shall come to pass, that as a bird fleeing away, and as young ones flying out of the nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be in the passage of Arnon.
E like me ka manu lele, i kipakuia mai kona punana aku, Pela auanei na kaikamahine o Moaba, Ma na ahua o Arenona.
3 Take counsel, gather a council: make thy shadow as the night in the midday: hide them that flee, and betray not them that wander about.
E kuka, e hana i ka mea i pono; E hoohalike i kou aka me ka po iwaena konu o ke ao; E huna i ka poe i kipakuia, Mai kumakaia i ka mea auwana.
4 My fugitives shall dwell with thee: O Moab, be thou a covert to them from the face of the destroyer: for the dust is at an end, the wretch is consumed: he hath failed, that trod the earth under foot.
E ae aku i kuu poe i kipakuia, e Moaba, e noho me oe, I puuhonua hoi oe no lakou, mai ke alo o ka mea luku; No ka mea, e pau auanei ka hookaumaha, A e oki loa hoi ka mea luku, A me ka mea hookaumaha, mai ka aina aku.
5 And a throne shall be prepared in mercy, and one shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking judgment and quickly rendering that which is just.
Alaila, ma ka pono e hoopaaia'i ka nohoalii, A e noho no kekahi maluna o ia me ka pono, ma ka hale hoi o Davida; He lunakanawai e imi ana i ka pololei, e hooponopono koke ana no hoi.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab, he is exceeding proud: his pride and his arrogancy, and his indignation is more than his strength.
Ua lohe no kakou i ka haaheo o Moaba, ka hookiekie loa: A me kona haakei a me kona hookano a me kona huhu; Aole e holo kona wahahee ana.
7 Therefore shall Moab howl to Moab, every one shall howl: to them that rejoice upon the brick walls, tell ye their stripes.
Nolaila e uwe ai o ko Moaba, No Moaba e uwe ai na mea a pau; E kaniuhu oukou no Kira Haresa, E kaumaha io no.
8 For the suburbs of Hesebon are desolate, and the lords of the nations have destroyed the vineyard of Sabama: the branches thereof have reached even to Jazer: they have wandered in the wilderness, the branches thereof are left, they are gone over the sea.
No ka mea, ua mae wale na mahinaai o Hesebona, O ke kumuwaina hoi o Sibema; Ua uhai na haku o na aina i kona mau lala maikai, Hiki no lakou i Iazera, Auwana lakou ma ka waonahele: Palahalaha ae la kona mau lala, A hala i kela aoao o ke kai.
9 Therefore I will lament with the weeping of Jazer the vineyard of Sabama: I will water thee with my tears, O Hesebon, and Eleale: for the voice of the treaders hath rushed in upon thy vintage, and upon thy harvest.
Nolaila, me au i uwe ai no Iazera, Pela no wau e uwe ai no ke kumuwaina o Sibema; E hoopulu aku au ia oe i kuu waimaka, e Hesebona, a me Eleale; No ka mea, ua haule ka hooho kaua maluna o kou kau ai a me kou ohi ai ana.
10 And gladness and joy shall be taken away from Carmel, and there shall be no rejoicing nor shouting in the vineyards. He shall not tread out wine in the press that was wont to tread it out: the voice of the treaders I have taken away.
Ua laweia'ku la ka lealea, a me ka hauoli, Mai ka mahinaai hua nui aku; Aole hooho ma na pawaina, aole hoi he hauoli: Aohe mea hahi waina ma na lua kaomi waina, Ua hooki loa aku au i ka hooho olioli ana.
11 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for the brick wall.
Nolaila e kani ai ko'u opu no Moaba, Me he mea kani la, A me ko'u naau hoi, no Kira-Haresa.
12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is wearied on his high places, that he shall go in to his sanctuaries to pray, and shall not prevail.
E hiki mai auanei, a e ikeia no, Ka luhi ana o ko Moaba maluna o na wahi kiekie, E hele no oia i kona wahi kapu e nonoi ai, Aole nae e loaa.
13 This is the word, that the Lord spoke to Moab from that time:
Oia ka olelo a Iehova i olelo ai no Moaba i ka wa mamua.
14 And now the Lord hath spoken, saying: In three years, as the years of a hireling, the glory of Moab shall be taken away for all the multitude of the people, and it shall be left small and feeble, not many.
Ke olelo nei o Iehova i keia wa, me ka i ana mai, Ekolu makahiki i koe, E like me na makahiki o ka mea i hoolimalimaia, E hoowahawahaia ka nani o Moaba, A me kona poe lehulehu loa; E uuku auanei ke koena, aole e nui.
