Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness
E HOOLOHE oukou i keia, e ko ka hale o Iakoba, Ka poe i kapaia ma ka inoa o ka Iseraela, Ka poe hoi i laha mai, mai na wai o Iuda mai; Ka poe hoohiki ma ka inoa o Iehova, Ka poe hookaulana i ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aole nae me ka oiaio, aole me ka pono.
2 (for they call themselves of the holy city, and steady themselves upon the God of Israel, Jehovah of hosts is his name):
No ka mea, ua kapaia lakou mamulio ke kulanakauhale hoano, A hilinai lakou ma ke Akua o ka Iseraela, O Iehova o na kaua kona inoa.
3 I have declared the former things from of old. Yea, they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them. Suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
Ua hoike aku no wau i na mea kahiko, mai kinohi mai, Mai ko'u waha i puka aku ai lakou; A na'u i hoike aku ia mau mea, Hana hoohikilele au, a hiki io mai no lakou.
4 Because I knew that thou are obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass,
No ka mea, ike mua no au, ua paakiki oe, A o kou a-i hoi, he olona hao, A o kou lae hoi, he keleawe.
5 therefore I have declared it to thee from of old. Before it came to pass I showed it to thee, lest thou should say, My idol has done them. And my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
Nolaila, hai aku au ia oe i kela mea i kinohi; Mamau o kona hiki ana mai, hoikeike aku au ia oe, O olelo auanei oe, Na kuu kii i hana i keia mau mea, Na kuu kiikalaiia, a na kuu kiihooheheeia lakou i kauoha aku.
6 Thou have heard it, behold all this, and ye, will ye not declare it? I have shown thee new things from this time, even hidden things, which thou have not known.
Ua lohe no oe, e nana hoi oe ia mea a pau; Aole anei oukou e hai aku? I keia manawa, ua hai aku au ia oe i mea hou, I na mea hoi i hunaia, na mea au i ike ole ai
7 They are created now, and not from of old. And thou have not heard them before this day, lest thou should say, Behold, I knew them.
I keia manawa lakou i hanaia'i, aole mai kela wa mai, I ka la hoi au i lohe ole ai ia mau mea, O olelo auanei oe, Aia, ike no wau ia.
8 Yea, thou heard not. Yea, thou knew not. Yea, from of old thine ear was not opened. For I knew that thou dealt very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
Oia, aole oe i lohe, aole hoi oe i ike; Oia, mai ia manawa mai, aole i hoohakahakaia kou pepeiao; No ka mea, ike mua no wau e hana aua oe me ka hoopunipuni nui loa, A mai ka opu mai, ua kapaia hoi oe o Kipi.
9 For my name's sake I will defer my anger, and for my praise I will refrain for thee, that I not cut thee off.
No ko'u inoa no wau e hoopanee aku ai i ko'u iuaina, A no kuu nani, e hoomanawanui au ia oe, I mea e anai ole aku ai au ia oe.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver. I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
Aia hoi, ua hoohehee hoomaikai aku au ia oe, aole nae me ke kala; Ua hoao aku au ia oe ma ka umu o ka popilikia.
11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I will do it. For how should my name be profaned? And I will not give my glory to another.
No'u iho, no'u iho no wau e hana aku ai ia; No ka mea, e hoohaumiaia anei ko'u? Aole au e haawi i ko'u nani ia hai.
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I also am the last.
E hoolohe mai oe ia'u, e ka Iakoba, a me ka Iseraela hoi, ko'u mea i heaia; Owau no ia, owau ka mua, owau hoi ka hope.
13 Yea, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens. When I call to them, they stand up together.
Oia, na ko'u lima no i hookumu i ka honua, Na kuu lima akau no i hoopalahalaha i na lani, Hea aku no au ia lakou, a ku pu mai la no lakou.
14 Assemble yourselves, all ye, and hear: Who among them has declared these things? He whom Jehovah loves shall perform his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm, the Chaldeans.
E akoakoa oukou a pau loa, a e hoolohe: Owai ka mea o lakou i hai i keia mau mea? O ka mea a Iehova i aloha aku ai, Nana no e hana kona makemake maluna o Babulona, A e kau no kona lima maluna o ko Kaledea.
15 I, even I, have spoken, yea, I have called him. I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Owau hoi, ua olelo no owau, Oia, ua hea aku no au ia ia; A na'u hoi ia i lawe mai nei, A e hoopomaikai oia i kona hele ana.
16 Come ye near to me, hear ye this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret. From the time that it was, there I am. And now the lord Jehovah and his Spirit has sent me.
E hookokoke mai oukou ia'u, e hoolohe i keia; Mai kinohi mai, aole au i olelo malu, Mai kona wa i hanaia'i, malaila no au; Ano hoi, ua hoouna mai ia'u o Iehova, ka Haku, a me kona Uhane.
17 Thus says Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah thy God, who teaches thee to profit, who leads thee by the way that thou should go.
Penei hoi ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, a kou Hoolapanai, Ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela; Owau no Iehova, kou Akua, Ka mea ao aku ia oe i ka mea e pono ai, Ka mea alakai ia oe ma kahi e pono ai oe ke hele.
18 Oh that thou had hearkened to my commandments! Then thy peace would have been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.
Ina i hoolohe mai oe i ka'u mau kauoha, Ina ua like kou malu me ka muliwai, A o kou pono hoi, me na aui o ka moana:
19 Thy seed also would have been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the grains of it. His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Ina ua like kau poe mamo me ke one, A me na keiki o kou opu me kona iliili; Aole hoi e hookiia kona inoa, aole hoi e hookaia'ku imua o'u.
20 Go ye forth from Babylon. Flee ye from the Chaldeans. With a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth. Say ye, Jehovah has redeemed his servant Jacob.
O haele oukou mawaho o Babulona, E holo oukou, mai ko Kaledea aku, Me ka leo o ke oli, e hai aku, e hookaulana i keia, E hoolaha aku a i na kukulu o ka honua; E i aku, Ua hoolapanai o Iehova i ka Iakoba, kana kauwa.
21 And they did not thirst when he led them through the deserts. He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He also split the rock, and the waters gushed out.
Ia lakou i hele ai ma na wahi maloo, aole lakou i make wai: Hookahe oia i ka wai, mai loko mai o ka pohaku no lakou; Wawahi no oia i ka pohaku, a huai mai la na wai.
22 There is no peace, says Jehovah, to the wicked.
Aole malu no ka poe hewa, wahi a Iehova.
