Ioela 3

1 NO ka mea, aia hoi, i kela mau la, a i kela manawa, I ka wa e hoi hou mai ai au i ka pio ana o ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema,

For, behold, in those days and at that time, when I shall have turned the captivity of Juda and Jerusalem,

2 E hoakoakoa hoi au i na lahuikanaka a pau, A e lawe mai la lakou ilalo i ke awawa o Iehosapata, A e hookolokolo au me lakou no kuu poe kanaka, A no kuu hooilina, no ka Iseraela, Ka poe a lakou i hoopuehu aku ai iwaena o na lahuikanaka, A i puunaue hoi i kuu aina.

I will also gather all the Gentiles, and bring them down to the valley of Josaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and my heritage Israel, who have been dispersed among the Gentiles; and [these Gentiles] have divided my land,

3 A ua hailona lakou no kuu poe kanaka; Ua haawi lakou i keikikane no ka wahine moe kolohe, A kuai aku i kaikamahine no ka waina, i inu ai lakou.

and cast lots over my people, and have given [their] boys to harlots, and sold [their] girls for wine, and have drunk.

4 A heaha hoi ka oukou ia'u, e Turo, a me Zidona? A me na palena a pau o Pilisetia? E hoihoi mai anei oukou i ka uku ia'u? Ina e hoihoi mai oukou i ka uku ia'u, Owau no kekahi e hoihoi koke loa aku i ko oukou uku maluna o ko oukou poo.

And what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all Galilee of the Gentiles? do ye render me a recompense? or do ye bear malice against me? quickly and speedily will I return your recompense on your own heads:

5 No ka mea, ua lawe aku oukou i kuu kala, a me kuu gula, A ua hali aku oukou i kuu mau mea makamae iloko o ko oukou mau luakini.

because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and ye have brought my choice ornaments into your temples;

6 A o na keiki a Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema ka oukou i kuai aku i ka poe Helene, I hali loihi aku ia lakou mai ko lakou palena aku.

and ye have sold the children of Juda and the children of Jerusalem to the children of the Greeks, that ye might expel them from their coasts.

7 Aia hoi, e hoala mai au ia lakou mai kahi a oukou i kuai aku ai ia lakou, A e hoihoi aku au i ko oukou uku maluna o ko oukou poo;

Therefore, behold, I [will] raise them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and I will return your recompense on your own heads.

8 A e kuai aku au i ka oukou poe kaikamahine, A i ka oukou poe keikikane i ka lima o na keiki a Iuda, A o lakou hoi e kuai aku ia lakou la i na Seba, I ka lahuikanaka mamao aku; No ka mea, oia ka Iehova i olelo mai.

And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Juda, and they shall sell them into captivity to a far distant nation: for the Lord has spoken [it].

9 E hai aku oukou i keia iwaena o na lahuikanaka; E hoomakaukau oukou no ke kaua, E hoala mai i ka poe ikaika, E hookokoke mai na kanaka kaua a pau; E pii mai lakou:

Proclaim these things among the Gentiles; declare war, arouse the warriors, draw near and go up, all ye men of war.

10 E kui oukou i ko oukou mau oopalau i pahikaua, A i ka oukou mau pahi paipai i mau ihe; A e olelo iho ka mea nawaliwali, Ua ikaika wau.

Beat your ploughshares into swords, and your sickles into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

11 E akoakoa oukou, e hele mai, e na lahuikanaka a pau, E hoakoakoaia oukou a puni; Ilaila hoi oe, e Iehova, e huiho ilalo i kou poe ikaika.

Gather yourselves together, and go in, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves there; let the timid become a warrior.

12 E hoalaia na lahuikanaka, A e pii mai i ke awawa o Iehosapata; No ka mea, malaila wau e noho iho ai, e hooponopono i na lahuikanaka a pau e puni ana.

Let them be aroused, let all the nations go up to the valley of Josaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the Gentiles round about.

13 E hookomo oukou i ka pahikakiwi, No ka mea, ua oo ka ai; E hele mai oukou, e iho ilalo; No ka mea, ua piha ke kaomi waina, ua piha a hu iwaho na waihona waina; No ka mea, ua nui ko lakou hewa.

Bring forth the sickles, for the vintage is come: go in, tread [the grapes], for the press is full: cause the vats to overflow; for their wickedness is multiplied.

14 Nui ka poe, he nui ka poe ma ke awawa o ka hoopai ana: No ka mea, ua kokoke ka la o Iehova ma ke awawa o ka hoopai ana:

Noises have resounded in the valley of judgment: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of judgment.

15 E pouli ka la a me ka mahina, A e hoonalowale na hoku i ko lakou malamalama.

The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.

16 E uwo mai o Iehova mai Ziona mai, A e hoopuka mai i kona leo mai Ierusalema mai; A e haalulu ka lani a me ka honua: A o Iehova ka puuhonua no kona poe kanaka, A me kahi paa no na mamo a Iseraela.

And the Lord shall cry out of Sion, and shall utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heaven and the earth shall be shaken, but the Lord shall spare his people, and shall strengthen the children of Israel.

17 Pela e ike ai oukou, owau no o Iehova ko oukou Akua, E noho ana ma Ziona, kuu mauna hoano: A e lilo o Ierusalema i hemolele, Aole e hele hou na malihini mawaena ona.

And ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, who dwell in Sion my holy mountain: and Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall not pass through her anymore.

18 A i kela la e hookulu na mauna i ka waina hou, A e hookahe mai na puu i ka waiu, A e kahe ka wai ma na kahawai a pau o Iuda, A e puapuai mai ka waipuna mai ka hale o Iehova mai, A e kahe aku ka wai ma ke awawa o Sitima.

And it shall come to pass in that day [that] the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the fountains of Juda shall flow with water, and a fountain shall go forth of the house of the Lord, and water the valley of flags.

19 A e lilo o Aigupita i neoneo, A o Edoma i waonahele neoneo, no ka hana ino ia o na mamo a Iuda, No ka mea, ua hookahe lakou i ke koko hala ole iloko o ko lakou aina.

Egypt shall be a desolation, and Idumea shall be a desolate plain, because of the wrongs of the children of Juda, because they have shed righteous blood in their land.

20 Aka, e noho mau loa ana o ka Iuda, A o ko Ierusalema ia hanauna aku, ia hanauna aku.

But Judea shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem to all generations.

21 No ka mea, e huikala aku au i ko lakou koko, a'u i huikala ole aku ai: A e noho ana o Iehova ma Ziona.

And I will make inquisition for their blood, and will by no means leave it unavenged: and the Lord shall dwell in Sion.
