Isaia 28
1 A 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!
Woe to the crowne of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim: for his glorious beautie shall be a fading flowre, which is vpon the head of the valley of them that be fat, and are ouercome with wine.
2 Aia 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.
Beholde, the Lord hath a mightie and strong hoste, like a tempest of haile, and a whirlewinde that ouerthroweth, like a tempest of mightie waters that ouerflowe, which throwe to the ground mightily.
3 Malalo o na wawae e hahiia'i Na lei hookiekie o na mea ona ma Eperaima.
They shall be troden vnder foote, euen the crowne and the pride of the drunkards of Ephraim.
4 Ka 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.
For his glorious beautie shall be a fading floure, which is vpon the head of the valley of them that be fatte, and as the hastie fruite afore sommer, which when hee that looketh vpon it, seeth it, while it is in his hand, he eateth it.
5 A 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,
In that day shall the Lord of hostes be for a crowne of glory, and for a diademe of beautie vnto the residue of his people:
6 A 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.
And for a spirite of iudgement to him that sitteth in iudgement, and for strength vnto them that turne away the battell to the gate.
7 Ua 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.
But they haue erred because of wine, and are out of the way by strong drinke: the priest and the prophet haue erred by strong drinke: they are swallowed vp with wine: they haue gone astraye through strong drinke: they faile in vision: they stumble in iudgement.
8 No ka mea, ua paapu na papaaina a pau i ka luai, I ka paumaele hoi, aohe wahi kaawale.
For all their tables are full of filthy vomiting: no place is cleane.
9 Ia 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?
Whome shall he teache knowledge? and whome shall he make to vnderstand the thinges that hee heareth? them that are weyned from the milke, and drawen from the breastes.
10 No 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.
For precept must be vpon precept, precept vpon precept, line vnto line, line vnto line, there a litle, and there a litle.
11 He oiaio no me ka lehelehe namu a me ka olelo o ka malihini, E olelo mai ai oia i keia poe kanaka.
For with a stammering tongue and with a strange language shall he speake vnto this people.
12 Ia 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.
Vnto whome hee saide, This is the rest: giue rest to him that is weary: and this is the refreshing, but they would not heare.
13 Nolaila 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.
Therefore shall the worde of the Lord be vnto them precept vpon precept, precept vpon precept, line vnto line, line vnto line, there a litle and there a litle, that they may goe, and fall backward, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
14 Nolaila, 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.
Wherefore, heare the worde of the Lord, ye scornefull men that rule this people, which is at Ierusalem.
15 No 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. (Sheol h7585)
Because ye haue said, We haue made a couenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement: though a scourge runne ouer, and passe through, it shall not come at vs: for we haue made falshood our refuge, and vnder vanitie are we hid, (Sheol h7585)
16 No 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.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will laye in Zion a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation. Hee that beleeueth, shall not make haste.
17 E 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.
Iudgement also will I laye to the rule, and righteousnesse to the balance, and the haile shall sweepe away the vaine confidence, and the waters shall ouerflowe the secret place.
18 E 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. (Sheol h7585)
And your couenant with death shalbe disanulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand: when a scourge shall runne ouer and passe through, then shall ye be trode downe by it. (Sheol h7585)
19 I 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.
When it passeth ouer, it shall take you away: for it shall passe through euery morning in the day, and in the night, and there shalbe onely feare to make you to vnderstand the hearing.
20 No ka mea, ua pokole kahi moe, aole hiki ke hoomoe loa malaila; Ua ololi kahi kapa moe, aole hiki ke uhi ia ia iho.
For the bed is streight that it can not suffice, and the couering narowe that one can not wrappe himselfe.
21 No 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.
For the Lord shall stand as in mount Perazim: hee shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his worke, his strage worke, and bring to passe his acte, his strange acte.
22 Ano 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.
Nowe therefore be no mockers, least your bondes increase: for I haue heard of the Lord of hostes a consumption, euen determined vpon the whole earth.
23 E haliu mai oukou, a e hoolohe i ko'u leo, E haliu mai oukou, a e hoolohe i ka'u olelo ana.
Hearken ye, and heare my voyce: hearken ye, and heare my speach.
24 O 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?
Doeth the plowe man plowe all the day, to sowe? doeth he open, and breake the clots of his ground?
25 A 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?
When he hath made it plaine, wil he not then sowe the fitches, and sowe cummin, and cast in wheat by measure, and the appointed barly and rye in their place?
26 Ao mai no kona Akua ia ia ma ka hooponopono, A hoike mai no hoi ia ia.
For his God doeth instruct him to haue discretion, and doeth teach him.
27 Aole 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.
For fitches shall not be threshed with a threshing instrument, neither shall a cart wheele be turned about vpon the cummin: but ye fitches are beaten out with a staffe, and cummin with a rod.
28 Kuiia 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.
Bread corne when it is threshed, hee doeth not alway thresh it, neither doeth the wheele of his cart still make a noyse, neither will he breake it with the teeth thereof.
29 I 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.
This also commeth from the Lord of hostes, which is wonderfull in counsell, and excellent in workes.
