Esias 41
1 Hold a feast to me, you islands: for the princes shall renew [their] strength: let them draw near and speak together: then let them declare judgement.
E NOHO ekemu ole oukou, e na aina, imua o'u, E hoomahua aku na kanaka i ka ikaika: E hookokoke mai lakou, alaila e olelo mai lakou; E hookokoke pu kakou i ka hookolokolo ana.
2 Who raised up righteousness from the east, [and] called it to his feet, so that it should go? shall appoint [it] an adversary of Gentiles, and shall dismay kings, and bury their swords in the earth, and cast forth their bows and arrows as sticks?
Na wai i hoala mai i ka mea pono, mai ka hikina mai, A kauoha hoi ia ia e hele ma kona wawae? A haawi ae la ia i na lahuikanaka imua ona, A hoonoho ia ia maluna o na'lii? A haawi hoi ia lakou e like me ka lepo imua o kana pahikana, E like hoi me ka opala lele imua o kona kakaka?
3 And he shall pursue them; the way of his feet shall proceed in peace.
Alualu oia ia lakou, a maluhia hoi kona hele ana; Ma ke ala hoi i hahi ole ia mamua e kona mau wawae.
4 Who has wrought and done these things? he has called it who called it from the generations of old; I God, the first and to [all] futurity, I AM.
Nawai ia i hoomakaukau, a hana hoi, Me ka hea ae i na hanauna kanaka, mai kinohi mai? Owau no o Iehova, o ka mea mua, A o ka mea hope hoi, owau no ia.
5 The nations saw, and feared; the ends of the earth drew near, and came together,
Ike mai la na aina, a makau iho la, Weliweli no na kukulu o ka honua, Hookokoke mai lakou, a hele mai la.
6 every one judging for his neighbour and [that] to assist his brother: and one will say,
Kokua no kela mea keia mea i kona hoa, A olelo ae la i kona hoahanau, E ikaika oe.
7 The artificer has become strong, and the coppersmith that smites with the hammer, [and] forges also: sometimes he will say, It is a piece well joined: they have fastened them with nails; they will fix them, and they shall not be moved.
Pela i hooikaika'i ke kahuna kalai i ka mea hana gula, A me ka mea anaanai me ka hamare i ka mea kuihao ma ke kua, I ae la, Ua makaukau ia no ke kapili ana; A hoopaa no oia ia mea i ke kui, i ole ia e naueue.
8 But you, Israel, are my servant Jacob, and he whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraam, whom I have loved:
Aka, o oe, e Iseraela, ka'u kauwa, O Iakoba, ka mea a'u i wae ai, Ka pua a Aberahama, ko'u hoaaloha,
9 whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and from the high places of it I have called you, and said to you, You are my servant; I have chosen you, and I have not forsaken you.
Ka mea a'u i lalau aku ai, mai na kihi mai o ka honua nei, A hea aku no ia oe, mai kona mau kukulu mai, A i aku no hoi ia oe, O oe no ka'u kauwa, Ua wae aku no wau ia oe, aole au i haalele aku ia oe.
10 Fear not; for I am with you: wander not; for I am your God, who have strengthened you; and I have helped you, and have established you with my just right hand.
Mai makau oe, no ka mea, owau pu no me oe; Mai weliweli hoi, no ka mea, owau no kou Akua. Na'u no i hooikaika aku ia oe, A na'u hoi oe i kokua aku; Ua hookupaa aku au ia oe i ka lima akau o ko'u pono.
11 Behold, all your adversaries shall be ashamed and confounded; for they shall be as if they were not: and all your opponents shall perish.
Aia hoi e hilahila auanei, a e hoopalaimaka hoi ka poe a pau i inaina aku ia oe; E like auanei lakou me he mea ole la, A e make no hoi ka poe kanaka e hakaka me oe.
12 You shall seek them, and you shall not find the men who shall insolently rage against you: for they shall be as if they were not, and they that war against you shall not be.
E imi no oe ia lakou, aole loaa lakou ia oe, O na kanaka hoi e hakaka me oe; E like ana lakou me ka mea ole, me he mea ole loa hoi, O na kanaka hoi e kaua aku ia oe.
13 For I am your God, who holds your right hand, who says to you,
No ka mea, owau o Iehova, o kou Akua, ka mea i hoopaa i kou lima akau, Ka mea olelo aku ia oe, Mai makau; owau no kou mea nana e kokua.
14 Fear not, Jacob, [and you] Israel few in number; I have helped you, says your God, he that redeems you, O Israel.
Mai makau, e ka enuhe, e Iakoba e, O oukou no hoi, e na kanaka o ka Iseraela; Na'u no oe e kokua aku, wahi a Iehova, kou Hoolapanai, Ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela.
15 Behold, I have made you as new saw-shaped threshing wheels of a waggon; and you shall thresh the mountains, and beat the hills to powder, and make [them] as chaff:
Aia hoi, e hana no wau ia oe i mea kaapalaoa hou oioi, mea niho; A e hookaa no oe maluna o na kuahiwi, a e kui hoi ia lakou a wali, A e hoolilo no oe i na puu, i mea like me ka opala,
16 and you shall winnow [them], and the wind shall carry them away, and a tempest shall scatter them: but you shall rejoice in the holy ones of Israel.
E lulu ana no oe ia lakou, a na ka makani lakou e lawe aku, A na ka puahiohio e hoopuehu aku ia lakou; Aka, e olioli no oe ia Iehova, A e hauoli hoi i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
17 And the poor and the needy shall exult; for [when] they shall seek water, and there shall be none, [and] their tongue is parched with thirst, I the Lord God, I the God of Israel will hear, and will not forsake them:
Imi ka poe hune, a me ka poe nele, i ka wai, a loaa ole, Ua paapaa ko lakou alelo i ka makewai, Alaila, e hoolohe au, o Iehova, i ka lakou, Owau, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, aole au e haalele ia lakou.
18 but I will open rivers on the mountains, and fountains in the midst of plains: I will make the desert pools of water, and a thirsty land watercourses.
E wahi au i muliwai ma na puu, I wai puna hoi maloko o na awawa; E hoolilo au i ka waonahele i kiowai, A me ka aina maloo, i wahi e huai mai ai na wai.
19 I will plant in the dry land the cedar and box, the myrtle and cypress, and white poplar:
Ma ka waonahele, e haawi no au i ka laau kedera, I ka laau sitima hoi, a me ka hadasa, a me ka oliva; A na'u no e kanu, ma ka waoakua, i laau kaa, I tidara no hoi, a me ke teasura:
20 that they may see, and know, and perceive, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord has wrought these [works], and the Holy One of Israel has displayed [them].
I ike lakou, a hoomaopopo hoi, A noonoo, me ka ike lea pu, Na ka lima o Iehova i hana i keia, Na ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela ia i hoopaa.
21 Your judgement draws near, says the Lord God; your counsels have drawn near, says the King of Jacob.
E hoopii mai oukou i ko oukou mea hookolokolo, wahi a Iehova; E hoike mai i ko oukou mea e akaka ai, wahi a ke Alii o ka Iakoba.
22 Let them draw near, and declare to you what things shall come to pass; or tell [us] what things were of old, and we will apply [our] understanding, and we shall know what are the last and the future things:
E hookokoke mai lakou, a e hoike mai hoi ia kakou i na mea e hiki mai ana; I na mea kahiko hoi, e hai mai lakou ia mau mea, I noonoo kakou ia mau mea, a ike hoi i ko lakou hope; E hai mai hoi ia kakou i na mea e hiki mai ana.
23 tell us, declare you to us the things that are coming on at the last [time], and we shall know that you are gods: do good, and do evil, and we shall wonder, and see at the same time
A e hoomaopopo mai hoi i na mea o keia hope e hiki mai ana, Alaila e ike no makou, he mau akua no oukou: Oia e hana hoi i ka maikai, a i ka hewa paha, Alaila, makou e weliweli, a e ike pu no hoi.
24 whence you are, and whence is your works: they have chosen you an abomination out of the earth.
Aia hoi, no ka ole mai oukou, A me ka oukou hana hoi, noloko mai ia o ka ole; O ka mea makemake aku ia oukou he mea hoopailua ia.
25 But I have raised up him that [comes] from the north, and him that [comes] from the rising of the sun: they shall be called by my name: let the princes come, and as potter's clay, and as a potter treading clay, so shall you be trodden down.
Ua hoala aku au i kekahi, mai ka akau mai, a e hele io mai no ia; E kahea mai no oia i ko'u inoa, mai kahi e puka mai ai ka la; A e hele mai no oia maluna o na'lii e like me ka lepo, E like hoi me ko ka potera hahi ana i ka lepo kawili.
26 For who will declare the things from the beginning, that we may know also the former things, and we will say that they are true? there is no one that speaks beforehand, nor anyone that hears your words.
Nawai i hoike mai, mai kinohi mai, i ike kakou? I ka wa mamua hoi, i olelo kakou, Ua pololei? Aohe mea nana i hoike, he oiaio, aohe mea nana e hoakaka mai, He oiaio no, aohe mea i lohe i ka oukou mau olelo.
27 I will give dominion to Sion, and will comfort Jerusalem by the way.
Na'u ka mea mua e olelo ia Ziona, Aia hoi, e nana aku ia lakou; A na'u hoi e haawi aku ia Ierusalema i ka mea hai i ka olelo maikai.
28 For from amongst the nations, behold, [there was] no one; and of their idols there was none to declare [anything]: and if I should ask them, Whence are you? they could not answer me.
Aka, nana aku la au, aohe hoi kanaka, A iwaena hoi o ia poe, aohe kakaolelo, A i ko'u ninau ana ia lakou, aohe mea o lakou i olelo mai.
29 For [these] are your makers, [as you think], and they that cause you to err in vain.
Aia hoi, he mea ole lakou a pau, He mea ole hoi ka lakou hana; He makani, he lapuwale hoi ko lakou akuakii i hooheheeia.
