Isaiah 49
1 Listen, O isles, unto me, and hearken, ye peoples, from far: the LORD hath called me from the womb, from the bowels of my mother hath He made mention of my name;
E HALIU mai oukou ia'u, e na aina e, E hoolohe hoi oukou, e na lahuikanaka, ma kahi mamao aku; Hea mai o Iehova ia'u mai ka opu mai, Mai ka opu mai hoi o ko'u makuwahine, ua hoike oia i ko'u inoa.
2 And He hath made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of His hand hath He hid me; and He hath made me a polished shaft, in His quiver hath He concealed me;
Ua hana oia i ko'u waha a like me ka pahikaua oi, Ua huna mai oia ia'u ma ke aka o kona lima, Ua hana mai oia ia'u, a like me ka pua i anaiia, Ua huna mai oia ia'u iloko o kona aapua,
3 And He said unto me: 'Thou art My servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.'
Ua olelo mai oia ia'u, O oe no ka'u kauwa, O Iseraela hoi oe, ka mea a'u e hoonaniia'i.
4 But I said: 'I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought and vanity; yet surely my right is with the LORD, and my recompense with my God.'
Alaila, i iho la au, Ua hooikaika makehewa au, No ka ole, a no ka lapuwale au i hoopau ai i ko'u ikaika; Me Iehova nae ko'u aponoia. Me ko'u Akua hoi ka'u hana ana.
5 And now saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, and that Israel be gathered unto Him — for I am honourable in the eyes of the LORD, and my God is become my strength —
Ano ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, Ka mea i hana mai ia'u i kauwa nana, mai ka opu mai, I mea hoi e hoihoi mai i ka Iakoba ia ia, Ina e hoakoakoa ole ia ka Iseraela, E nani io no nae au ma na maka o Iehova, O ko'u Akua hoi oia ko'u ikaika.
6 Yea, He saith: 'It is too light a thing that thou shouldest be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the offspring of Israel; I will also give thee for a light of the nations, that My salvation may be unto the end of the earth.'
I mai la ia, He mea uuku ia e lilo oe i kauwa na'u, E hooku mai i na ohana o ka Iakoba, A e hoihoi i ka poe i malamaia o ka Iseraela; E haawi no hoi au ia oe i malamalama no ko na aina e, I lilo oe i mea hoola aku no'u, ma na kukulu o ka honua,
7 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to him who is despised of men, to him who is abhorred of nations, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, princes, and they shall prostrate themselves; because of the LORD that is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee.
Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, Ka Hoolapanai o ka Iseraela, kona mea Hemolele hoi, I ka mea i hoowahawahaia e na kanaka, I ka mea a ka lahuikanaka i hoopailua ai, I ke kauwa hoi na ka poe e noho alii ana, E ike aku na'lii a e ku iluna, E kulou aku no hoi na luna, No Iehova, ka mea oiaio, ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela, Nana no e makemake aku ia oe.
8 Thus saith the LORD: In an acceptable time have I answered thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, I ka manawa aloha, ua hoolohe aku au ia oe, A i ka la hoola, ua kokua aku no au ia oe; A na'u hoi e malama aku ia oe, A e haawi no hoi ia oe i berita no na kanaka, I mea e paa ai ka aina, e hooili aku no hoi i na hooilina neoneo;
9 Saying to the prisoners: 'Go forth'; to them that are in darkness: 'Show yourselves'; they shall feed in the ways, and in all high hills shall be their pasture;
I olelo no hoi oe i ka poe i paa, E hele iwaho, A i ka poe ma ka pouli, E hoike ia oukou iho. E ai no lakou ma na alanui, A ma na puu a pau ka lakou ai.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst, neither shall the heat nor sun smite them; for He that hath compassion on them will lead them, even by the springs of water will He guide them.
Aole lakou e pololi, aole e makewai; Aole e hahau mai ka wela, a me ka la ia lakou; No ka mea, o ka mea aloha ia lakou, nana lakou e alakai, E alakai aku no oia ia lakou i na waipuna.
11 And I will make all My mountains a way, and My highways shall be raised on high.
E hoolilo ana no au i ko'u mau kuahiwi a pau, i alanui, A e hookiekieia hoi ko'u mau kuamoo.
12 Behold, these shall come from far; and, lo, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim.
Aia hoi, e hele mai no keia poe, ma kahi loihi mai; Aia hoi, o keia poe, mai ke kukulu akau, a mai ke komohana mai; A o keia poe hoi, mai ka aina o Sinima mai.
13 Sing, O heavens, and be joyful, O earth, and break forth into singing, O mountains; for the LORD hath comforted His people, and hath compassion upon His afflicted.
E oli oukou, e na lani, e hauoli hoi, e ka honua; E hookani i ke oli, e na mauna; No ka mea, ua hoomaha mai o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, A e aloha mai no hoi ia i kona poe i hoopilikiaia.
14 But Zion said: 'The LORD hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.'
Aka, ua olelo mai o Ziona, Ua haalele o Iehova ia'u, Ua hoopoina hoi ko'u Haku ia'u.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee.
E hiki anei i ka wahine ke hoopoina i kana keiki aiwaiu, I ole ia e aloha aku i ke keiki a kona opu? Oia, e hiki no ia lakou ke hoopoina. Aka, aole au e hoopoina ia oe.
16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands; thy walls are continually before Me.
Aia hoi, ua kahakaha au ia oe ma na poho lima o'u; Ua mau loa no kou mau papohaku ma ko'u alo.
17 Thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth from thee.
E hiki wawe no kau mau keiki; O ka poe nana oe i pepehi, A me ka poe i hooneoneo ia oe, e puka aku no lakou mawaho ou.
18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a bride.
E alawa ae oe i kou mau maka mao, a mao, e nana hoi; Akoakoa mai lakou a pau, a hele mai iou la. Me au e ola nei, wahi a Iehova, E aahu io no oe ia lakou a pau me he kahiko la, A e kakoo hoi ia lakou, e like me ka wahine mare.
19 For thy waste and thy desolate places and thy land that hath been destroyed — surely now shalt thou be too strait for the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.
No ka mea, o kou mau wahi mehameha, a neoneo, A me ka aina o kou luku ana, E pilikia ana no ia, no ka nui o ka poe e noho ana; A e loihi lilo aku no hoi ka poe i ale ia oe.
20 The children of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears: 'The place is too strait for me; give place to me that I may dwell.'
O na keiki o kou pa ana, e olelo no lakou ma kou mau pepeiao, Ua pilikia au i keia wahi, E haawi mai ia'u i wahi e noho ai au.
21 Then shalt thou say in thy heart: 'Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? And who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?'
Alaila, e olelo iho no oe ma kou naau, Nawai i hoohanau mai i keia poe na'u? Nele au i ka'u mau keiki, a mehameha, He pio no. e kuewa aku ana; Nawai i hoonui mai i keia poe? Aia hoi, ua waiho wale ia au, mahea hoi lakou nei?
22 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and set up Mine ensign to the peoples, and they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ka Haku penei, Aia hoi, e hapai no wau i ko'u lima no ko na aina e, A e kau no wau i ko'u hae no na lahuikanaka; A e lawe mai no lakou i kau poe keikikane ma ka poli, A e kaikaiia kau mau kaikamahine, ma na poohiwi.
23 And kings shall be thy foster-fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers; they shall bow down to thee with their face to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD, for they shall not be ashamed that wait for Me.
A e lilo na'lii i poe makuakane hanai nou, A o na wahine alii a lakou, i poe makuwahine hanai nou; A e kulou ilalo i ka honua ko lakou maka imua ou, A e palu iho lakou i ka lepo o kou mau wawae; A e ike auanei oe, owau no Iehova; No ka mea, o ka poe e kali ia'u, aole lakou e hilahila.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of the victorious be delivered?
E kailiia'ku anei ka waiwai pio, mai ka poe ikaika aku? E hoopakeleia'nei ke pio i lawe pono ia?
25 But thus saith the LORD: Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; and I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
Aka, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E kailiia'ku no na pio o ka poe ikaika, A e hoopakeleia ka waiwai i pio, mai ka poe hooweliweli mai; No ka mea, e paio aku au i ka mea i paio pu me oe, A e hoola no wau i kau poe keiki.
26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine; and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
O ka poe hooluhi aku ia oe, E hanai aku au ia lakou i ko lakou io iho, A e ona auanei lakou i ko lakou koko iho, e like me ka waina hou; A e ike no na mea io a pau, owau no Iehova, O kou Ola, a me kou Hoolapanai, Ka Mea mana hoi o ka Iakoba.
