1I will stand at my watch and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
1MALUNA o ko'u wahi kiai ke ku nei au, A maluna o kahi paa ke hoonoho ia'u iho, A e nana ae au e ike ai i ka mea ana e olelo mai ai no'u, A i ka mea a'u o pane aku ai no kuu hoakaka ana.
2The LORD answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.
2Olelo mai o Iehova ia'u, i mai la, E kakau oe i ka mea i ikeia, A e kakau hoi ia ma na papa pohaku, I hiki ka mea heluhelu e hoholo.
3For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay.
3No ka mea, o ka mea i ikea no ka manawa maopopo ia; A ke lalelale nei i ka hope, aole ia e hoopunipuni; Ina e hookauluaia oia, e kali oe ia ia. No ka mea, e hiki io mai no ia, aohe ia e hookaulua.
4Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.
4Aia hoi, o ka mea hookiekie, aole pono kona naau iloko ona; Aka, o ka mea pono, e hoolaia oia ma kona manaoio.
5Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous: an arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol; he is like death and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations and heaps to himself all peoples.
5A he oiaio, o ka waina, ua hoopunipuni ia; O ke kanaka haaheo, aole ia i noho malie, Ua hoakea oia i kona makemake, e like me ka luakupapau, A ua like oia me ka make, aole ia e ana: Hoakoakoa oia nona iho i na lahuikanaka a pau, A ua houluulu nona iho i na kanaka a pau.
6Won’t all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?’
6Aole anei e hapai o keia poe a pau i mele nona, A i wahi olelo hoino nona, a e i aku, Auwe ka mea e hoomahuahua i ka waiwai, aohe nona! Pehea ka loihi! o ka mea e hoonui ana maluna ona i ka aie!
7Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?
7Aole anei e ku koke mai ka poe e nahu mai ia oe, A e ala mai ka poe e hookaumaha ia oe? A e lilo oe i pio no lakou.
8Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.
8No ka mea, ua hoopio oe i na lahuikanaka he nui, O ke koena a pau o na kanaka e hoopio lakou ia oe, No ke koko o kanaka, a no ka hana ino i ka aina, I ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe a pau e noho ana iloko ona.
9Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!
9Auwe ka mea kuko i ka waiwai pono ole no kona hale, I hookiekie ai oia i kona punana iluna, I hoopakele ai ia ia iho mai ka mana o ka hewa mai!
10You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
10Ua kuka oe i ka mea hilahila no kou hale, Ma ka hooki ana i na kanaka he nui, Ua hana hewa aku hoi oe i kou uhane.
11For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.
11No ka mea, e kahea mai ka pohaku mai ka paia mai, A o ke kaola laau e pane mai no ia.
12Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
12Auwe ka mea kukulu i ke kulanakauhale me ke koko, O ka mea hookumu i ke kulanakauhale me ka hewa!
13Behold, isn’t it from the LORD of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
13Aia hoi, na Iehova o na kaua anei keia, e hooluhi na kanaka iloko o ke ahi, A e hookaumaha ia lakou iho no ka mea ole?
14For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD’s glory, as the waters cover the sea.
14No ka mea, e hoopihaia ka honua i ka ike i ka nani o Iehova, E like me na wai i hoopiha ai i na moana.
15“Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies!
15Auwe ka mea hoohainu i kona hoalauna, A e ninini i kou mea e wela ai ia ia, i ona oia, i nana aku ai oe i ko lakou olohelohe!
16You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink and be exposed! The cup of the LORD’s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
16E hoopihaia oe i ka hilahila no ka nani, E inu hoi oe, a e hoike i kuu okipoepoe ole: O ke kiaha o ka lima akau o Iehova e hiki mai no ia ia oe, A o ka luai hilahila e uhi mai i kou nani.
17For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals will terrify you, because of men’s blood and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.
17No ka mea, o ka hana ino ia Lebanona e uhi mai ia oe, Me ka luku o na holoholona, i hooweliweli ia lakou, No ke koko o kanaka, a no ka hana ino i ka aina, I ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe a pau e noho ana iloko ona.
18“What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?
18Heaha ka pono o ke kii, i ka manawa i kalaiia oia e ka mea nana ia i hana? A o ke kii hooheheeia, a me ka mea ao i ka wahahee? A o ka mea nana i hana i kona kii, ua hilinai ia maluna ona, ma ka hana ana i akua lapuwale?
19Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all within it.
19Auwe ka mea olelo i ka laau, E ala mai! A i ka pohaku leo ole, E ku iluna! Oia ke ao mai! Aia hoi, ua uhiia oia i ke gula a me ke kala, Aka, aohe hanu iki iloko ona.
20But the LORD is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”
20Aia no o Iehova iloko o kona luakini hoano; E hamau imua ona, e ka honua a pau.
