< Esias 46 >
1 Bel has fallen, Nabo is broken to pieces, their graven images are gone to the wild beasts and the cattle: you take them packed up as a burden to the weary, exhausted, hungry, and [at the same time] helpless man;
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 who will not be able to save themselves from war, but they themselves are led [away] captive.
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 Hear me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of Israel, who are borne [by me] from the womb, and taught [by me] from infancy, [even] to old age:
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 I am [he]; and until you shall have grown old, I am [he]: I bear you, I have made, and I will relieve, I will take up and save you.
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 To whom have you compared me? see, consider, you that go astray.
Me wai oukou e hoohalike ai ia'u, a me ka hoopili ia'u? Me wai hoi maua e like ai?
6 They that furnish gold out of a purse, and silver by weight, will weigh it in a scale, and they hire a goldsmith and make idols, and bow down, and worship them.
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 bear it upon the shoulder, and go; and if they put it upon its place, it remains, it can’t move: and whoever shall cry to it, it can’t hear; it can’t save him from 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 Remember you these things, and groan: repent, you that have gone astray, return in your heart;
E hoomanao oukou i keia, a e hookanaka hoi; E hooeueu i ka manao, e ka poe hana hewa.
9 and remember the former things [that were] of old: for I am God, and there is none other beside 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 telling beforehand the latter events before they come to pass, and they are accomplished together: and I said, all my counsel shall stand, and I will do all things that I have planned:
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 calling a bird from the east, and from a land afar off, for the things which I have planned: I have spoken, and brought [him]; I have created and made [him]; I have brought him, and prospered his way.
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 Listen to me, you senseless ones, that are far from righteousness:
E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e na mea i paakiki ka naau, Ka poe mamao loa aku i ka pono.
13 I have brought near my righteousness, and I will not be slow with the salvation that is from me: I have given salvation in Sion to Israel for 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.
