Isaiah 42
1 See my servant, whom I am supporting, my loved one, in whom I take delight: I have put my spirit on him; he will give the knowledge of the true God to the nations.
A IA hoi ka'u kauwa, ka mea a'u i malama'i, O kuu mea i waeia, a ua olioli ko'u naau ia ia; E haawi aku no au i ko'u Uhane maluna ona; A nana no e hoolaha ae ka pono no na lahuikanaka.
2 He will make no cry, his voice will not be loud: his words will not come to men's ears in the streets.
Aole ia e kahea, aole hoi e hoowalaau aku, Aole hana aku a loheia kona leo ma ke alanui.
3 He will not let a crushed stem be quite broken, and he will not let a feebly burning light be put out: he will go on sending out the true word to the peoples.
Aole ia e uhai i ka ohe pepe, Aole hoi ia e kinai i ka uiki e pipi ana; A hoolaha aku oia i ka pono oiaio.
4 His light will not be put out, and he will not be crushed, till he has given the knowledge of the true God to the earth, and the sea-lands will be waiting for his teaching.
Aole ia e pio, aole hoi ia e uhaiia, A hookumu oia i ka pono ma ka honua nei: A e kakali no na mokupuni i kona kanawai.
5 God the Lord, even he who made the heavens, measuring them out on high; stretching out the earth, and giving its produce; he who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who go about on it, says:
Ke i mai nei ke Akua, o Iehova, penei, Ka mea nana i hana na lani, a hohola ae la ia lakou; Ka mea i hoopalahalaha ae i ka honua, a me kona mau mea ulu; Ka mea haawi i ka hanu no na kanaka maluna ona, A me ke ea hoi i ka poe e hele ana maluna ona:
6 I the Lord have made you the vessel of my purpose, I have taken you by the hand, and kept you safe, and I have given you to be an agreement to the people, and a light to the nations:
Owau, o Iehova, ua hea aku au ia oe i mea e pono ai, A na'u no e hoopaa aku i kou lima, a e malama no hoi au ia oe, A e haawi no wau ia oe i berita no na kanaka, I malamalama hoi no ko na aina e;
7 To give eyes to the blind, to make free the prisoners from the prison, to let out those who are shut up in the dark.
E hookaakaa i na maka o ka poe makapo, E lawe mai hoi i ka poe pio, mailoko mai o kahi paa, A me ka poe e noho ana iloko o ka pouli, mailoko mai o ka halepaahao.
8 I am the Lord; that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, or my praise to pictured images.
Owau no Iehova, oia ko'u inoa; Aole au e haawi i ko'u nani ia hai, Aole hoi ko'u hanohano i na kiikalaiia.
9 See, the things said before have come about, and now I give word of new things: before they come I give you news of them.
Aia hoi, ua ko na mea i olelo kahiko ia, A ke hai aku nei au i na mea hou: Mamua o ko lakou hiki ana mai, ke hai aku nei au ia mau mea ia oukou.
10 Make a new song to the Lord, and let his praise be sounded from the end of the earth; you who go down to the sea, and everything in it, the sea-lands and their people.
E oli aku ia Iehova i ke oli hou, I kona nani hoi mai ka welau mai o ka honua: Ka poe iho ilalo ma ka moana, a me kona mea i piha'i, O na mokupuni, a me ko lakou poe e noho ana.
11 Let the waste land and its flocks be glad, the tent-circles of Kedar; let the people of the rock give a glad cry, from the top of the mountains let them make a sound of joy.
E hookiekie no ka waonahele i kona leo, A me na kulanakauhale ona, O na kauhale kahi e noho ai o Kedara; E oli hoi ka poe e noho ana ma Sela, E hooho hoi ka poe ma ka piko o na kuahiwi.
12 Let them give glory to the Lord, sounding his praise in the sea-lands.
E haawi aku lakou i ka hanohano no Iehova, E hoolaha hoi i kona nani ma na aina e.
13 The Lord will go out as a man of war, he will be moved to wrath like a fighting-man: his voice will be strong, he will give a loud cry; he will go against his attackers like a man of war.
E puka aku no o Iehova iwaho, me he koa la, E hoa no oia i ka inaina, e like me ke kanaka kaua; E hea ikaika aku no ia, a e hooho hoi; E lanakila no oia maluna o kona poe enemi.
14 I have long been quiet, I have kept myself in and done nothing: now I will make sounds of pain like a woman in childbirth, breathing hard and quickly.
Ua noho ekemu ole au, mai kahiko loa mai; Ua noho malie au, ua uumi au i ka olelo: Aka, ano, e kahea aku no wau, e like me ka wahine hanau keiki; E luku aku no au, e hoopau pu no hoi.
15 I will make waste mountains and hills, drying up all their plants; and I will make rivers dry, and pools dry land.
E anai aku au i na kuahiwi, a me na puu, A e hoomaloo aku no au i ko lakou launahele a pau; E hoolilo wau i ko lakou muliwai i wahi maloo, A e hoomaloo no hoi au i ko lakou loko.
16 And I will take the blind by a way of which they had no knowledge, guiding them by roads strange to them: I will make the dark places light before them, and the rough places level. These things will I do and will not give them up.
A e kai aku no au i ka poe makapo, ma ke ala a lakou i ike ole ai: E alakai no au ia lakou ma na kuamoo a lakou i ike ole ai; E hoolilo au i ka pouli i malamalama imua o lakou, A me na ala kekee i pololei. E hana no wau i keia mau mea no lakou, Aole hoi au e haalele ia lakou.
17 They will be turned back and be greatly shamed who put their hope in pictured images, who say to metal images, You are our gods.
E hoopalaimaka, a e hilahila loa hoi ka poe a pau i hilinai i na kiikalaiia, Ka poe i olelo i na kii i hooheheeia, O oukou no ko makou mau akua.
18 Give ear, you whose ears are shut; and let your eyes be open, you blind, so that you may see.
E hoolohe mai oukou, e na kuli, E nana hoi oukou, e ka poe makapo, i ike oukou.
19 Who is blind, but my servant? who has his ears stopped, but he whom I send? who is blind as my true one, or who has his ears shut like the Lord's servant?
Owai ka mea makapo, ke ole ka'u kauwa, A kuli hoi, e like me ko'u elele a'u i hoouna aku ai? Owai ka mea makapo, e like me ka mea haipule, Ka mea makapo hoi, e like me ke kauwa a Iehova?
20 Seeing much, but keeping nothing in mind; his ears are open, but there is no hearing.
Ua ike no oe i na mea he nui, aole nae oe i malama; Ua hakahaka na pepeiao, aole nae oia i lohe.
21 It was the Lord's pleasure, because of his righteousness, to make the teaching great and give it honour.
Ua lealea no o Iehova no kona pono iho, E hoohanohano no oia i kona kanawai, a e hoonani hoi oia ia mea.
22 But this is a people whose property has been taken away from them by force; they are all taken in holes, and shut up in prisons: they are made prisoners, and no one makes them free; they are taken by force and no one says, Give them back.
Aka, ua powaia keia poe kanaka, a ua haoia; Ua hoopaheleia lakou a pau maloko o na lua, Ua hunaia hoi maloko o na halepaahao; Ua lilo lakou i pio, aohe mea nana lakou e hoopakele; He mea i haoia, aohe mea i olelo mai, E hoihoi aku.
23 Who is there among you who will give ear to this? who will give attention to it for the time to come?
Owai ka mea o oukou e haliu mai i ka pepeiao i keia? A hoolohe, a malama hoi, no ka manawa mahope?
24 Who gave up Jacob to those who took away his goods, and Israel to his attackers? Did not the Lord? he against whom they did wrong, and in whose ways they would not go, turning away from his teaching.
Nawai i haawi ia Iakoba i pio, A i ka Iseraela hoi no ka poe powa? Aole anei na Iehova, ka mea a kakou i hana ino aku ai? No ka mea, aole lakou i hele i kona mau alanui, Aole lakou i hoolohe i kona kanawai.
25 For this reason he let loose on him the heat of his wrath, and his strength was like a flame; and it put fire round about him, but he did not see it; he was burned, but did not take it to heart.
Nolaila ia i ninini aku ai maluna ona, i ka wela o kona inaina, A me ka ikaika o ke kaua; A ua hoa oia ia ia i ke ahi a puni, aole nae ia i ike; Wela no oia i ke ahi, aole i manao i kona naau.
