< Isaiah 51 >

1 Give ear to me, you that follow that which is just, and you that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you are dug out.
E HOOLOHE mai oukou ia'u, e ka poe hahai i ka pono, Ka poe hoi e imi ana ia Iehova; E nana oukou ma ka pohaku, kahi a oukou i kalaiia'i, A i ka lua hoi maloko o ke ana, kahi a oukou kohiia'i.
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and to Sara that bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and multiplied him.
E nana hoi ma o Aberahama la, ko oukou kupuna, Ia Sara hoi i ka mea nana oukou i hanau; No ka mea, oia hookahi ka'u i hea aku ai, A hoopomaikai aku ia ia, a hoonui aku i kana.
3 The Lord therefore will comfort Sion, and will comfort all the ruins thereof: and he will make her desert as a place of pleasure, and her wilderness as the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of praise.
Pela no o Iehova e hoomaha mai ai ia Ziona, E hoomaha mai no i kona mau wahi neoneo a pau; A e hana no oia i kona waonahele, a like me Edena, A me kona waoakua e like me ka mahinaai a Iehova; Maloko olaila, e loaa no ka olioli a me ka hauoli, Ka hoolea ana, me ka leo o ke oli.
4 Hearken unto me, O my people, and give ear to me, O my tribes: for a law shall go forth from me, and my judgment shall rest to be a light of the nations.
E hoolohe mai ia'u, e ko'u poe kanaka, E haliu mai ka pepeiao ia u, e ka lahuikanaka o'u; No ka mea, e laha aku no ke kanawai, mai o'u aku nei, A e hoolilo no wau i ko'u pono, i malamalama no na kanaka.
5 My just one is near at hand, my saviour is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people: the islands shall look for me, and shall patiently wait for my arm.
Ua kokoke mai no ko'u pono, ua hele aku hoi ko'u ola, Na kuu lima no e hooponopono i kanaka; E kali no na mokupuni ia'u, a ma ko'u lima lakou e hilinai ai.
6 Lift up your eyes to heaven, and look down to the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish like smoke, and the earth shall be worn away like a garment, and the inhabitants thereof shall perish in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my justice shall not fail.
E alawa ae i ko oukou maka iluna a i ka lani, E nana hoi ma ka honua malalo; E holo aku auanei na lani, e like me ka uwahi, A e apulu no hoi ka honua, me he lole la, Pela no e make ai ka poe e noho ana maluna iho; Aka, e oia mau ana no ko'u ola, Aole hoi e pau ana ko'u pono.
7 Hearken to me, you that know what is just, my people who have my law in your heart: fear ye not the reproach of men, and be not afraid of their blasphemies.
E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e ka poe ike i ka pono, E na kanaka hoi i loaa ko'u kanawai ma ko lakou naau; Mai makau oukou i ka hoowahawaha o kanaka, Mai weliweli hoi i ka lakou olelo hoino ana.
8 For the worm shall eat them up as a garment: and the moth shall consume them as wool: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my justice from generation to generation,
No ka mea, e ai no ka mu ia lakou, me he lole la, E ai no hoi ka huhu ia lakou e like me ka hulu hipa: Aka, e mau loa ana no ko'u pono, a i ke ao pau ole, A me ko'u ola hoi, mai keia hanauna, a ia hanauna aku.
9 Arise, arise, put on strength, O thou arm of the Lord, arise as in the days of old, in the ancient generations. Hast not thou struck the proud one, and wounded the dragon?
E ala, e ala, e aahu i ka ikaika, e ka lima o Iehova; E ala, e like me ia i na la mamua, I na hanauna kahiko loa aku hoi. Aole anei oe ka mea nana i okioki ia Rahaba? A hou iho no hoi i ka moonui?
10 Hast not thou dried up the sea, the water of the mighty deep, who madest the depth of the sea a way, that the delivered might pass over?
Aole anei oe ka mea nana i hoomaloo i ke kai? I na wai hoi o ka hohonu nui? A hoolilo hoi i na wahi hohonu o ke kai, I alanui e hele ai ka poe i hoolapanaiia?
11 And now they that are redeemed by the Lord, shall return, and shall come into Sion singing praises, and joy everlasting shall be upon their heads, they shall obtain joy and gladness, sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
E hoi mai no hoi ko Iehova poe i hoolapanaiia, E hele mai no lakou i Ziona me ke oli; He hauoli mau loa maluna o ko lakou mau poo: E loaa no ia lakou ka olioli, a me ka hauoli, A e hee loa aku no ke kaumaha, a me ke kaniuhu.
12 I, I myself will comfort you: who art thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of a mortal man, and of the son of man, who shall wither away like grass?
Owau, owau no ka mea nana oukou e hoomaha aku; Owai hoi oe, i makau aku ai oe i ke kanaka, i ka mea e make ana, A i ke keiki a ke kanaka hoi, i ka mea e lilo ana i mauu?
13 And thou hast forgotten the Lord thy maker, who stretched out the heavens, and founded the earth: and thee hast been afraid continually all the day at the presence of his fury who afflicted thee, and had prepared himself to destroy thee: where is now the fury of the oppressor?
A hoopoina hoi ia Iehova, i ka Mea nana oe i hana, A hohola ae la hoi i na lani, a hookumu i ka honua, A makau mau loa no hoi oe i na la a pau, No ka inaina o ka mea hooluhi, Ina paha ia e makaukau e luku iho? Auhea hoi ka inaina o ka mea hooluhi?
14 He shall quickly come that is going to open unto you, and he shall not kill unto utter destruction, neither shall his bread fail.
Wikiwiki ae la ke pio kulou, i weheia'i oia, I ole ia o make maloko o ka lua, I pau ole hoi kana berena.
15 But I am the Lord thy God, who trouble the sea, and the waves thereof swell: the Lord of hosts is my name.
Aka, owau no Iehova, kou Akua, Ka mea nana i hookupikipikio ke kai, A halulu mai la kona mau ale, O Iehova o na kaua kona inoa.
16 I have put my words in thy mouth, and have protected thee in the shadow of my hand, that thou mightest plant the heavens, and found the earth: and mightest say to Sion: Thou art my people.
Ua hahao no wau i ko'u mau huaolelo iloko o kou waha, A ua uhi aku ia oe i ke aka o ko'u lima, Me ka makia aku i na lani, a me ka hookumu i ka honua, I olelo aku au ia Ziona, O oe no ko'u poe kanaka.
17 Arise, arise, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his wrath; thou hast drunk even to the bottom of the cup of dead sleep, and thou hast drunk even to the dregs.
E ala e ala, e ku iluna, e Ierusalema, Ka mea i inu ma ka lima o Iehova, i ke kiaha o kona inaina; Ua inu no oe i ke kiaha bola e hikaka ai, Ua inu oe a moni loa hoi ilalo.
18 There is none that can uphold her among all the children that she hath brought forth: and there is none that taketh her by the hand among all the children that she hath brought up.
Aole mea e alakai ia ia o na keikikane a pau ana i hanau ai; Aohe mea lalau i kona lima o na keikikane a pau ana i hanai ai a nui.
19 There are two things that have happened to thee: who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword, who shall comfort thee?
Ua hiki mai keia mau mea elua maluna ou; Owai hoi ka mea minamina ia oe? O ka neoneo a me ka make, O ka wi a me ka pahikaua; Ma owai la hoi au e hoomaha aku ai ia oe?
20 Thy children are cast forth, they have slept at the head of all the ways, as the wild ox that is snared: full of the indignation of the Lord, of the rebuke of thy God.
Ua maule kau mau keikikane, Ke kaa nei no ma na poo o na alanui a pau, E like me ka bipi hihiu maloko o ka upena; Ua hoopihaia lakou i ka inaina o Iehova, I ka paipai ana hoi o kou Akua.
21 Therefore hear this, thou poor little one, and thou that art drunk but no with wine.
Nolaila, e hoolohe mai oe i keia, e ka mea popilikia, A ona hoi, aole nae i ka waina:
22 Thus saith thy Sovereign the Lord and thy God, who will fight for his people: Behold I have taken out of thy hand the cup of dead sleep, the dregs of the cup of my indignation, thou shalt not drink it again any more.
Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, kou Haku, O kou Akua hoi, nana e kokua i kona poe kanaka: Aia hoi, ua lawe au i ke kiaha e hikaka ai, mai kou lima aku, I ke kiaha bola hoi o ko'u inaina, Aole oe e inu hou.
23 And I will put it in the hand of them that have oppressed thee, and have said to thy soul: Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as a way to them that went over.
Aka, e waiho aku au ia mea iloko o ka lima o ka poe hookaumaha ia oe, O ka poe i olelo ia oe, E moe ilalo, i hele aku makou maluna ae; A ua hoomoe oe i kou kua e like me ka lepo, Me he alanui la hoi, no ka poe i hele ae.
