Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine!
1A UWE ka lei hookiekie o na mea ona ma Eperaima, Ka pua mae wale o kona nani maikai, Ka mea ma ko poo o ka papu momona, O na mea i ona i ka waina!
2Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong. Like a storm of hail, a destroying storm, and like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast them down to the earth with his hand.
2Aia hoi, ka mea ikaika, ka mea i hooikaikaia e ka Haku, Nana no e hoohiolo ia lakou ilalo i ka lepo me kona lima, E like me ka huahekili e haule ana, E like hoi me ka ino nui e make ai, A me ka wai kahe he nui e holo moku ana.
3The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden under foot.
3Malalo o na wawae e hahiia'i Na lei hookiekie o na mea ona ma Eperaima.
4The fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer, which someone picks and eats as soon as he sees it.
4Ka pua mae wale o kona nani maikai, Ka mea ma ke poo o ka papu momona, E like auanei ia me ka hua mua o ke kau, O ka mea nana aku a ike ia mea, Moni koke no ia i ka loaa ana i kona lima.
5In that day, the LORD of Armies will become a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the residue of his people,
5A hiki aku i kela la, E lilo no o Iehova i lei alii maikai, A i papale alii nani, no ka poe i koe o kona poe kanaka,
6and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
6A i uhane hooponopono maloko o ka poe hooponopono, A i ikaika hoi iloko o ka poe i hoohuli i ke kaua ana i ka pukapa.
7They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in vision. They stumble in judgment.
7Ua kunewanewa lakou nei, no ka waina, Ua hikaka lakou no ka inu awaawa, Ua kunewanewa ke kahunapule, a me ke kaula no ka inu awaawa, Ua oki loa lakou i ka waina, Ua hikaka lakou no ka inu awaawa, Ua kunewanewa lakou ma ka hihio, Ua kulanalana ko lakou hooponopono ana.
8For all tables are completely full of filthy vomit and filthiness.
8No ka mea, ua paapu na papaaina a pau i ka luai, I ka paumaele hoi, aohe wahi kaawale.
9Whom will he teach knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?
9Ia wai la ia e ao mai ai i ka ike? E hoike mai oia i ka naauao ia wai? I ka poe anei i ukuhiia i ka waiu? I ka poe anei i auaia i ka u?
10For it is precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little.
10No ka mea, he rula maluna o ka rula, He rula maluna o ka rula; He loina maluna o ka loina, He loina maluna o ka loina; He uuku ma keia wahi. He uuku ma kela wahi.
11But he will speak to this nation with stammering lips and in another language,
11He oiaio no me ka lehelehe namu a me ka olelo o ka malihini, E olelo mai ai oia i keia poe kanaka.
12to whom he said, “This is the resting place. Give rest to the weary,” and “This is the refreshing;” yet they would not hear.
12Ia ia i olelo aku ai ia lakou, Eia ka maha e hoomaha oukou i ka poe maloeloe, Eia ka hooluolu; aole nae lakou i hoolohe.
13Therefore the LORD’s word will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken.
13Nolaila i hiki ai ka olelo a Iehova ia lakou, He rula maluna o ka rula, He rula maluna o ka rula; He loina maluna o ka loina, He loina maluna o ka loina; He uuku ma keia wahi, He uuku ma kela wahi; I hele ai lakou a hina ihope, a lukuia, I hoopaheleia hoi, a paa.
14Therefore hear the LORD’s word, you scoffers, that rule this people in Jerusalem:
14Nolaila, e hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e na kanaka hoowahawaha, Ka poe e noho alii ana maluna o keia poe kanaka ma Ierusalema.
15“Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and we are in agreement with Sheol. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won’t come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.’”
15No ka mea, ua olelo oukou, Ua hana makou i berita me ka make, Ua hookuikahi makou me ko ka po; A hiki mai ka hahau ana a mahuahua, Aole ia e hiki mai io makou nei; No ia mea, ua hoolilo makou i ka wahahee i puuhonua no makou, Ua huna makou ia makou iho iloko o ka hoopunipuni.
16Therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.
16No ia mea, peneia ka olelo ana mai a ka Haku, a Iehova, Aia hoi, ke hoonoho nei au ma Ziona, He pohaku, he pohaku i hoaoia, He pohaku kihi, ua maikai, He poliaku kumu i hoonoho paa ia: O ka mea i hilinai aku ia ia, aole ia e hee.
17I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.
17E hoopai pololei aku au ma ke kaula, A e hooponopono aku au ma ka hoailona kupono; A na ka huahekili e hoopau aku i ka puuhonua wahahee, A e halanaia i ka wai, kahi e pee aku ai.
18Your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it.
18E hoopauia auanei ko oukou berita me ka make, Aole e kupaa ka oukou kuikahi ana me ka po; I ka wa e hiki mai ai ka hahau ana a mahuahua, E hahiia oukou ilalo e ia.
19As often as it passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be nothing but terror to understand the message.”
19I ka wa e puka mai ai ia, e hoopaa mai no ia ia oukou; He oiaio no e hiki mai ia i kela kakahiaka i keia kakahiaka, A i ke ao no hoi a me ka po; A e lilo no ka lohe wale i mea e makau ai.
20For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.
20No ka mea, ua pokole kahi moe, aole hiki ke hoomoe loa malaila; Ua ololi kahi kapa moe, aole hiki ke uhi ia ia iho.
21For the LORD will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring to pass his act, his extraordinary act.
21No ka mea, e like me ia ma ka mauna o Perazima, Pela no e ala mai ai o Iehova; E like me ia ma ke kahawai o Gibeona, Pela no ia e huhu mai ai, I hana'i oia i kana hana, i kana hana kupanaha hoi; I hoopaa hoi oia i kana hana, kana hana ano e.
22Now therefore don’t be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, GOD of Armies, on the whole earth.
22Ano hoi, mai hoowahawaha oukou, O hoopaa loa ia ko oukou mau kupee; No ka mea, ua lohe au i ka hoopau ana, i hooholoia, Na ka Haku na Iehova o na kaua, i ka aina a pau.
23Give ear, and hear my voice! Listen, and hear my speech!
23E haliu mai oukou, a e hoolohe i ko'u leo, E haliu mai oukou, a e hoolohe i ka'u olelo ana.
24Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he keep turning the soil and breaking the clods?
24O ka mea hana me ka oopalau, E hana anei ia i na la a pau e kanu ai? E wawahi ana, a e kuikui ana ia i puupuu lepo o kona aina?
25When he has leveled its surface, doesn’t he plant the dill, and scatter the cumin seed, and put in the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in its place?
25A hana aku oia i ka lepo a maniania, Aole anei ia i lulu iho i ke kumino eleele, A kanu no hoi i ke kumino? A lulu i ka hua palaoa maikai, A me ka bale, a me ka palaoa eleele, Ma kona wahi iho?
26For his God instructs him in right judgment and teaches him.
26Ao mai no kona Akua ia ia ma ka hooponopono, A hoike mai no hoi ia ia.
27For the dill isn’t threshed with a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod.
27Aole i kuiia ke kumino eleele i ka mea kui, Aole i hookaaia ka mea kaa maluna o ke kumino; Aka, ua kuiia ke kumino eleele i ka laau, A me ke kumino hoi i ka laau kui.
28Bread flour must be ground; so he will not always be threshing it. Although he drives the wheel of his threshing cart over it, his horses don’t grind it.
28Kuiia no ka palaoa a wali, No ka mea, aole makemake ia i ka hahi loihi ana, Aole hoi e hookaa aku i ke kaa o kona kaa, Aole hoi e hahi aku na lio ona ia mea.
29This also comes out from the LORD of Armies, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
29I puka mai no keia mai o Iehova o na kaua mai, Ka mea kupanaha ma ka noonoo ana, A nui loa no hoi kona ike.
