Isaia 17
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1KA wanana no Damaseko. Aia hoi! Ua hookiia o Damaseko, aole ia he kulanakauhale, E lilo no ia i puu opala.
1This is the burden against Damascus: “Behold, Damascus is no longer a city; it has become a heap of ruins.
2Ua haaleleia na kulanakauhale o Aroera; E lilo lakou no na ohana hipa, Malaila lakou e moe ai, aoho mea nana lakou e hoomakau.
2The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they will be left to the flocks, which will lie down with no one to fear.
3E hookiia auanei na wahi i paa i ka pa o Eperaima, A me ke aupuni o Damaseko, a me ke koena o Suria: E like me ka nani o na mamo a Iseraela, pela auanei lakou, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
3The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the sovereignty from Damascus. The remnant of Aram will be like the splendor of the Israelites,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
4A hiki aku ia la, e hoopauia ka nani o Iakoba, A e olala no hoi ke kelekele o kona io.
4“In that day the splendor of Jacob will fade, and the fat of his body will waste away,
5A e like no hoi ia me ka mea okioki i ka hua palaoa, Na kona lima e okioki i na huhui palaoa; A e like no hoi ia me ka mea hoiliili i na huhui palaoa ma ke awawa o Repaima.
5as the reaper gathers the standing grain and harvests the ears with his arm, as one gleans heads of grain in the Valley of Rephaim.
6E waihoia no kekahi koena ai nana, E like me na oliva i luluia, A koe elua, a ekolu paha hua ma na welau o na lala luna; Eha, a elima paha, ma na lala waho hua nui, Wahi a Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
6Yet gleanings will remain, like an olive tree that has been beaten— two or three berries atop the tree, four or five on its fruitful branches,” declares the LORD, the God of Israel.
7Ia la la, e hilinai aku no ke kanaka ma ka mea nana i hana, E kau no kona mau maka maluna o ka mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
7In that day men will look to their Maker and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
8Aole ia e hilinai aku ma na kuahu a kona mau lima i hana'i, Aole hoi e manao i na mea i hanaia e kona mau manamana lima, I na kii o Aseterota, a me na'kua kii.
8They will not look to the altars they have fashioned with their hands or to the Asherahs and incense altars they have made with their fingers.
9Ia la la, e like ana na kulanakauhale o kona pakaua, Me ka ululaau i haaleleia, Me na lala maluna i haaleleia no na mamo a Iseraela; E olohelohe ana no ia.
9In that day their strong cities will be like forsaken thickets and summits, abandoned to the Israelites and to utter desolation.
10No ka mea, ua hoopoina oe i ke Akua nana oe i hoopakele, Aole i hoomanao i ka Pohaku o kou ikaika; Nolaila oe e kanu ai i na mea kanu maikai, A e pohuli i na lala waina o ka malihini.
10For you have forgotten the God of your salvation and failed to remember the Rock of your refuge. Therefore, though you cultivate delightful plots and set out cuttings from exotic vines—
11I ka la o kou kanu ana hoopaa no oe ia i ka pa, A i ke kakahiaka no oe i hooulu i kau hua; Aka, e laweia ka puu ai i ka la o ka loaa ana, Aole e ole ke kaumaha.
11though on the day you plant you make them grow, and on that morning you help your seed sprout— yet the harvest will vanish on the day of disease and incurable pain.
12Auwe ke kupikipikio o na lahuikanaka he nui; Ua like ko lakou kupikipikio ana, me ka halulu ana o na kai, Ka halulu o ko na aina: Halulu no lakou e like me ka halulu ana o na wai.
12Alas, the tumult of many peoples; they rage like the roaring seas and clamoring nations; they rumble like the crashing of mighty waters.
13Halulu ko na aina, e like me ka halulu ana o na wai he nui; Aka, e papa no oia ia lakou, A e pee no lakou i kahi loihi; E hahaiia no lakou, e like me ka opala o na kuahiwi imua o ka makani, E like hoi me ka lepo imua o ka puahiohio.
13The nations rage like the rush of many waters. He rebukes them, and they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills, like tumbleweeds before a gale.
14I ke ahiahi, aia hoi he weliweli, A mamua o ke kakahiaka, aole lakou. Oia ka hope o ka poe i hao i ka kakou, O ka poe hoi i lawe wale i ka kakou.
14In the evening, there is sudden terror! Before morning, they are no more! This is the portion of those who loot us and the lot of those who plunder us.
