Isaiah 18
1 Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
A UWE ka aina eheu kani, Ka mea ma kela aoao o na kahawai o Aitiopa:
2 that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus on the waters, saying, “Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide!”
Ka mea i hoouna i na elele ma ke kai, Ma na moku kome maluna o na wai. O hele, e na luna mama, I ka lahuikanaka ikaika, a koa hoi, I ka lahuikanaka weliweli, mai ka wa kahiko mai, I ka lahuikanaka mana i ka luku aku, A halanaia ko lakou aina e na muliwai.
3 All you inhabitants of the world, and you dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, look! When the trumpet is blown, listen!
E ka poe a pau e noho la ma ka honua, A me na mea a pau e noho ana ma ke ao nei, A hapaiia ka hae ma na mauna, e nana oukou, A kani ka pu, e hoolohe hoi.
4 For Yahweh said to me, “I will be still, and I will see in my dwelling place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
No ka mea, penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova ia'u, E hoomaha ana au, a me ka nana aku maloko o ko'u wahi e noho ai, E like me ka mehana olu maluna o na mea ulu, Me he ao hau la hoi i ka wa wela o ka hoiliili ai.
5 For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
No ka mea, mamua o ka hoiliili ai ana, I ka mohala ana o ka pua, A lilo ka pua i huawaina oo, Alaila, e paipai oia i na lala i na pahi paipai, A e lawe aku no oia i na lala, e paipai aku no.
6 They will be left together for the ravenous birds of the mountains, and for the animals of the earth. The ravenous birds will eat them in the summer, and all the animals of the earth will eat them in the winter.
E waiho pu ia no lakou no na manu o na mauna, A no na holoholona o ka honua; E kau no na manu maluna olaila, a pau ke kau, E noho no malaila na holoholona a pau o ka aina, a pau ka hoilo.
7 In that time, a present will be brought to Yahweh of Armies from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of Armies, Mount Zion.
Ia manawa, e laweia mai na makana no Iehova o na kaua, He lahuikanaka ikaika, a koa hoi, He poe weliweli hoi, mai ka wa kakiko mai, He lahuikanaka mana i ka luku aku, Ua halanaia ko lakou aina e na muliwai, A i kahi o ka inoa o Iehova o na kaua, I ka mauna hoi o Ziona.
