< Isaiah 44 >

1 Yet nowe heare, O Iaakob my seruant, and Israel, whom I haue chosen.
E HOOLOHE mai oe ano, e Iakoba, ka'u kauwa, A me ka Iseraela, ka mea a'u i wae ai:
2 Thus sayeth the Lord, that made thee, and formed thee from the wombe: he wil helpe thee. Feare not, O Iaakob, my seruaunt, and thou righteous, whome I haue chosen.
Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova, ka mea nana oe i hana, A hana ia oe ma ka opu, ka mea o kokua ana ia oe; Mai makau oe, e Iakoba, ka'u kauwa, A o oe hoi, e Iesuruna, ka mea a'u i wae ai.
3 For I will powre water vpon the thirstie, and floods vpon the drie grounde: I will powre my Spirit vpon thy seede, and my blessing vpon thy buddes.
No ka mea, e ninini aku au i ka wai maluna o ku mea i makewai, A me na waikahe maluna o na aina maloo: E ninini aku au i ko'u Uhane maluna o kau pua, A me ko'u hoopomaikai maluna o kau poe mamo.
4 And they shall grow as among the grasse, and as the willowes by the riuers of waters.
A ulu no lakou iwaena o ka mauu, E like me na wilou ma na wai kahe.
5 One shall say, I am the Lordes: another shalbe called by the name of Iaakob: and another shall subscribe with his hand vnto the Lord, and name himselfe by the name of Israel.
E olelo no kekahi, No Iehova au; A e kapaia kekahi ma ka inoa o Iakoba; A e kakau kekahi ma kona lima, No Iehova au, A hea aka ia ma ka inoa o ka Iseraela.
6 Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel and his redeemer, the Lord of hostes, I am the first, and I am the last, and without me is there no God.
Penei o Iehova i olelo mai ai, o ke alii hoi o ka Iseraela, A o kona Hoolapanai, o Iehova o na kaua; Owau no ka mea mua, owau no ka mea hope, Aohe Akua e ae, owau wale no.
7 And who is like me, that shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order before me, since I appointed the ancient people? and what is at hand, and what things are to come? let them shewe vnto them.
Owai hoi ka mea like me au nei, e kala aku, A hai mua, a hoonohonoho pono no'u, Mai ka wa mai o ko'u hoonoho ana i ka lahuikanaka kahiko? I na mea hoi e kokoke mai ana, a me na mea e hiki mai ana mahope, E hai mai lakou ia mau mea ia lakou.
8 Feare ye not, neither be afraide: haue not I tolde thee of olde, and haue declared it? you are euen my witnesses, whether there be a God beside me, and that there is no God that I knowe not.
Mai makau oukou, mai hopohopo hoi; Aole anei au i hai aku ia oe, mai ia manawa mai, Aole anei au i hooikeike aku? O oukou no ko'u poe hoike. He Akua e anei kekahi, ke kaawale au? Aohe Pohaku, aohe mea a'u i ike ai.
9 All they that make an image, are vanitie, and their delectable things shall nothing profite: and they are their owne witnesses, that they see not nor know: therefore they shalbe confounded.
O ka poe hana i ke kiikalaiia, ua lapuwale lakou a pau, Aole lakou e pomaikai ma ko lakou mea i manao nui ia. O lakou no ko lakou mau hoike iho; Aole lakou i nana, aole hoi i ike, i hilabila lakou,
10 Who hath made a god, or molten an image, that is profitable for nothing?
Owai ka mea i hana i akua, a hoohehee hoi i kiikalaiia, I ka mea ole hoi?
11 Beholde, all that are of the fellowship thereof, shall be confounded: for the workemen themselues are men: let them all be gathered together, and stand vp, yet they shall feare, and be confounded together.
Aia hoi, e hilahila auanei kona poe hoa a pau; A o ka poe paahana, no kanaka lakou; E akoakoa mai lakou a pau, e ku hoi iluna, E makau no lakou, a e hoopalaimaka pu.
12 The smith taketh an instrument, and worketh in the coles, and facioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his armes: yea, he is an hungred, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
Lalau aku no ka amara i ka mea hana, A hana oia maloko o ka lanahu, A hooponopono me na hamare, A hana oia ia mea me ka ikaika o kona lima; Pau kona ikaika no ka pololi, aole ikaika, Aole ia i inu i ka wai, a ua maloeloe.
13 The carpenter stretcheth out a line: he facioneth it with a red thread, he planeth it, and he purtreyeth it with the compasse, and maketh it after the figure of a man, and according to the beautie of a man that it may remaine in an house.
Huki ae la ke kamana i ke kaula a hailona iho la i ka alaea; A hana no hoi oia ia mea me na koikahi, A hailona no hoi i ka upa, A hana no hoi oia ia mea, e like me ke kii kanaka, Ma ko ke kanaka nani, i mea e noho mau ai iloko o ka hale.
14 He will hewe him downe cedars, and take the pine tree and the oke, and taketh courage among the trees of the forest: he planteth a firre tree, and the raine doeth nourish it.
Kua no oia ilalo i na laau kedera nona, A lalau no oia i ke tireza, a me ka oka, A lawe iho la nona iho, noloko mai o na laau o ka ululaau; Kanu no oia i ka paina, a na ka ua no e hooulu.
15 And man burneth thereof: for he will take thereof and warme himselfe: he also kindleth it and baketh bread, yet he maketh a god, and worshippeth it: he maketh it an idole and boweth vnto it.
A lilo no ia no ke kanaka e puhi ai, A lawe no oia ia, a hoomahanahana ia ia iho; Oia, hoa no oia i ke ahi, a pulehu i ka palaoa; Oia, hana no oia i akua, a hoomana aku la! Hana no oia ia mea, i kiikalaiia, a moe iho la imua ona!
16 He burneth the halfe thereof euen in the fire, and vpon the halfe thereof he eateth flesh: he rosteth the roste and is satisfied: also he warmeth himselfe and sayth, Aha, I am warme, I haue bene at the fire.
Puhi no oia i kauwahi ma ke ahi, A maluna o kauwahi, ai no oia i ka io, Ohinu no oia i ka mea ohinu, a ua maona hoi; Oia, hoomahanahana no oia ia ia iho, a olelo ae la, Ka! ua mahana au, ua ike au i ke ahi!
17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, euen his idole: he boweth vnto it, and worshippeth and prayeth vnto it, and sayeth, Deliuer me: for thou art my god.
A i ke koena o ia mea, hana no oia i akua, i kona kiikalaiia hoi! A moe iho no imua ona, a hoomana aku la, A pule aku no ia ia la, me ka olelo aku, E hoopakele mai oe ia'u, no ka mea, o oe no ko'u akua.
18 They haue not knowen, nor vnderstand: for God hath shut their eyes that they cannot see, and their heartes, that they cannot vnderstand.
Aole lakou i ike, aole hoi i hoomaopopo; Ua hoopili oia i ko lakou mau maka, i ike ole lakou, A me ko lakou mau naau, i hoomaopopo ole lakou.
19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor vnderstanding to say, I haue burnt halfe of it, euen in the fire, and haue baked bread also vpon the coles thereof: I haue rosted flesh, and eaten it, and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I bowe to the stocke of a tree?
Aole ia i noonoo ma kona naau, Aohe hoi ona ike, a me ka naauao e olelo ai, Ua puhi au i kauwahi maloko o ke ahi; Oia no, ua pulehu au i ka palaoa ma na lanahu ona, Ua ohinu au i ka io, a ua ai iho; A e hoolilo anei au i ke koena o ia mea, i mea hoopailua? A e kulou anei au i ka pauku laau?
20 He feedeth of ashes: a seduced heart hath deceiued him, that he cannot deliuer his soule, nor say, Is there not a lye in my right hand?
Ai no oia i ka lehu; Alakai hewa ka naau walewale ia ia, Aole hiki ia ia ke hoopakele i kona uhane, aole hoi e olelo, Aole anei he wahahee ma ko'u lima akau?
21 Remember these (O Iaakob and Israel) for thou art my seruant: I haue formed thee: thou art my seruant: O Israel forget me not.
E hoomanao i keia mau men, e ka Iakoba, a me ka Iseraela, No ka mea, o oe no ka'u kauwa; Na'u no oe i hana, o oe no ka'u kauwa; E ka Iseruela, aole oe e hoopoinaia e au.
22 I haue put away thy transgressions like a cloude, and thy sinnes, as a mist: turne vnto me, for I haue redeemed thee.
E hoopau no wau i kou hewa e like me ke ao eleele, A me kou hala hoi, me he ohu la; E hoi mai oe ia'u, no ka mea, ua hoolapanai aku au ia oe.
23 Reioyce, ye heauens: for the Lord hath done it: shoute, ye lower partes of the earth: brast foorth into prayses, ye mountaines, O forest and euery tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Iaakob and will be glorified in Israel.
E oli oukou, e na lani, no ka mea, na Iehova i hana; E hauoli hoi oukou, e na wahi haahaa o ka honua, E hookani i ke oli, e na mauna, E ka ululaau, a me na laau a pau maloko; No ka mea, ua hoolapanai o Iehova i ka Iakoba, Ua hoonani hoi ia ia iho ma o ka Iseraela la.
24 Thus sayeth the Lord thy redeemer and he that formed thee from the wombe, I am the Lord, that made all things, that spred out the heauens alone, and stretched out the earth by my selfe.
Ke i mai nei o Iehova, kou Hoolapanai, Ka mea hoi nana oe i hana ma ka opu, Owau, o Iehova, ka mea nana i hana na mea a pau; Ka mea nana i hohola na lani, owau wale; A hoopalahalaha hoi i ka honua, owau wale no;
25 I destroy the tokens of ye southsayers, and make them that coniecture, fooles, and turne the wise men backwarde, and make their knowledge foolishnesse.
Ka mea hookahuli i na ouli o ka poe wahahee, A hoohilahila hoi i ka poe kilokilo; Ka mea alakai hope i ka poe akamai, A hoolapuwale i ko lakou naauao:
26 He confirmeth the worde of his seruant and performeth the counsell of his messengers, saying to Ierusalem, Thou shalt bee inhabited: and to the cities of Iudah, Yee shall be built vp, and I will repayre the decayed places thereof.
Ka mea hookupaa i ka olelo a kana kauwa, A hooko hoi i ka manao ao o kona poe elele; Ka mea olelo ia Ierusalema, E noho hou ia oe, A i na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, E hana hou ia no oukou, A na'u no e hoala hou i kolaila mau wahi i hooneoneoia;
27 He saith to the deepe, Be drye and I will drye vp thy floods.
Ka mea i olelo i ka hohonu, E maloo oe, A e hoomaloo no wau i kou mau muliwai;
28 He saith to Cyrus, Thou art my shepheard: and he shall performe all my desire: saying also to Ierusalem, Thou shalt be built: and to the Temple, Thy foundation shall be surely layed.
Ka mea olelo no Kuro, Oia ka'u kahuhipa, Nana no e hana i ko'u makemake a pau; Ka mea i olelo ia Ierusalema, e hana hou ia no oe, A i ka luakini hoi, E hookumuia hoi oe.
