Isaiah 46
1 Bel is bent down, Nebo is falling; their images are on the beasts and on the cattle: the things which you took about have become a weight to the tired beast.
KE kukuli nei o Bela, ke kulou nei o Nebo, Aia hoi ko lakou akuakii maluna o na holoholona a me na mea laka; Ua kaumaha loa ko oukou mea lawe, He ukana kaumaha i ka mea i maloeloe.
2 They are bent down, they are falling together: they were not able to keep their images safe, but they themselves have been taken prisoner.
Kulou no lakou, a kukuli pu no hoi ilalo; Aole hiki ia lakou ke hookuu i ka ukana, Ua hele no lakou iloko o ke pio ana.
3 Give ear to me, O family of Jacob, and all the rest of the people of Israel, who have been supported by me from their birth, and have been my care from their earliest days:
E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e ko ka hale o Iakoba, A me ke koena a pau o ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, Ka poe i laweia e au mai ka opu mai, A kaikaiia hoi mai ka hanau ana mai.
4 Even when you are old I will be the same, and when you are grey-haired I will take care of you: I will still be responsible for what I made; yes, I will take you and keep you safe.
A hiki i kou wa elemakule, owau no ia, A i ka wa e poohina'i, na'u no oe e lawe. Ua hana no owau, a na'a hoi e halihali; Na'u no e lawe, a na'u hoi e hoopakele.
5 Who in your eyes is my equal? or what comparison will you make with me?
Me wai oukou e hoohalike ai ia'u, a me ka hoopili ia'u? Me wai hoi maua e like ai?
6 As for those who take gold out of a bag, and put silver in the scales, they give payment to a gold-worker, to make it into a god; they go down on their faces and give it worship.
Ninini aku lakou i ke gula mawaho o ka eke, A kaupaona hoi i ke kala ma ka mea kaulike, A hoolimalima hoi i ka mea hana gula, A hana iho la oia ia mea, i akuakii; Kulou no lakou, a moe hoomana aku la,
7 They put him on their backs, and take him up, and put him in his fixed place, from which he may not be moved; if a man gives a cry for help to him, he is unable to give an answer, or get him out of his trouble.
Kaikai no lakou ia ia ma ka poohiwi, Lawe lakou ia ia, a hooku ia ia ma kona wahi, a ku no ia; Aole ia e neenee, mai kona wahi ae: Oia, kahea aku kekahi ia ia, aole nae ia e ekemu mai, Aole hoi e hoopakele ia ia i kona popilikia.
8 Keep this in mind and be shamed; let it come back to your memory, you sinners.
E hoomanao oukou i keia, a e hookanaka hoi; E hooeueu i ka manao, e ka poe hana hewa.
9 Let the things which are past come to your memory: for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like me;
E hoomanao i na mea kahiko o kela wa mamua; No ka mea, owau no ke Akua, aohe mea e ae, Owau no ke Akua, aohe mea like me au,
10 Making clear from the first what is to come, and from past times the things which have not so far come about; saying, My purpose is fixed, and I will do all my pleasure;
E hai ana i ka hope, mai kinohi mai, E hai ana hoi, mai kahiko loa mai, i na mea i hana ole ia, Me ka olelo iho, E kupaa ana ko'u manao, A e hana no hoi au i ko'u makemake a pau.
11 Sending for a bird of strong flight from the east, the man of my purpose from a far country; I have said it, and I will give effect to it; the thing designed by me will certainly be done.
Hea aku no wau i ka manu huhu, mai ka hikina mai, I ke kanaka hoi a'u i manao ai, mai ka aina mamao aku; Oia, ua olelo no wau, a na'u hoi ia e hana; Ua manao no wau, a e hana io no hoi au ia.
12 Give ear to me, you feeble-hearted, who have no faith in my righteousness:
E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e na mea i paakiki ka naau, Ka poe mamao loa aku i ka pono.
13 My righteousness is near, it is not far off; salvation will come quickly; and I will make Zion free, and give Israel my glory.
Ke lawe aku nei au i ko'u pono a kokoke, Aole ia e mamao aku, aole hoi e hookaulua iho ko'u hoola: E haawi aku no au i ke ola ma Ziona, me ka Iseraela, ko'u mea e nani ai.
