Isaiah 42
1 Look! Here is my servant, the one I support; my chosen one who pleases me. I have placed my Spirit on him, and he will show the nations what is right.
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 won't shout or cry out; he won't raise his voice in the street.
Aole ia e kahea, aole hoi e hoowalaau aku, Aole hana aku a loheia kona leo ma ke alanui.
3 He won't break a damaged reed; he won't snuff out a smoldering wick. He will faithfully make sure everyone is treated fairly.
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 He won't give up or become discouraged until he has made sure that justice is upheld throughout the world. Even lands overseas will look forward to his teachings.
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 This is what God the Lord says, the one who created the heavens and stretched them out, who made the earth and everything in it, who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who live there:
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 called you to demonstrate what's right, and I will hold your hand. I will take care of you, and give you as a sign of my agreement with the people and as 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 You will make the blind see, set free those who are locked up, and lead those who sit in darkness out from prison.
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 do not give my honor to anyone else; I do not give my praise to idols.
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 Notice that what I foretold has come true, as will the new things I'm saying to you now. I tell you what will happen before it does.”
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 Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing praise from everywhere on earth, you who sail on the sea and everything in it, you islands and everyone who lives in them.
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 people in the desert and its towns shout; let the people of the villages of Kedar cry out loud. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the mountaintops.
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 glorify the Lord and praise him in the islands.
E haawi aku lakou i ka hanohano no Iehova, E hoolaha hoi i kona nani ma na aina e.
13 Like a mighty warrior the Lord will march out, like a seasoned soldier he goes out with courage. He gives his war-cry, shouting as he battles and defeats his enemies.
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 didn't say anything for a long time, I kept quiet and restrained myself. But now like a woman giving birth, I will moan and gasp and pant.
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 dry up the mountains and the hills, and make all their greenery wither. I will turn rivers into islands and dry up the pools.
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 I will lead the blind along a road they don't know; I will guide them along paths they don't know. I will turn darkness into light before them, and smooth out the rough places. This is what I'm going to do for them; I won't let them down.
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 But those who trust in idols and say to images, ‘You are our gods!’ will be rejected in humiliation and shame.
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 Listen, you deaf people! Look and see, you blind people!
E hoolohe mai oukou, e na kuli, E nana hoi oukou, e ka poe makapo, i ike oukou.
19 Who is blind like my servant? Who is deaf like my messenger that I send? Who is as blind as the people of the agreement? Who is as blind as the servant of the Lord?
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 You've looked at many things but have not really seen; you've heard but never really listened.”
Ua ike no oe i na mea he nui, aole nae oe i malama; Ua hakahaka na pepeiao, aole nae oia i lohe.
21 Because the Lord does what is right he wanted to show how important and wonderful his instructions were.
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 people ended up robbed and raided, all of them trapped in holes or hidden in prisons. They have been stolen like loot, with no one to save them from being someone's prize, no one to say “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 of you is going to listen to this, or pay attention later on?
Owai ka mea o oukou e haliu mai i ka pepeiao i keia? A hoolohe, a malama hoi, no ka manawa mahope?
24 Who let Jacob be taken as loot; who let Israel be taken by robbers? Wasn't it the Lord who we sinned against? The people weren't willing to follow his ways, and they refused to obey his law.
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 So he poured out his furious anger on them, and the violence of war. Even though they were surrounded by flames, but they still didn't understand. The fire burned them up, but they still did not take the situation seriously.
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.
