Isaiah 49
1 Listen, O isles, to me; and listen, you people, from far; The LORD has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has 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 has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand has he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver has he hid 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 said to me, You are my servant, O 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 Then I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work 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, says the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be 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 And he said, It is a light thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles, that you may be my salvation to 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 says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose you.
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 says the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day of salvation have I helped you: and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, 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 That you may say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
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 has mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall 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 exalted.
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, see, 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 has comforted his people, and will have mercy on 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 has forsaken me, and my Lord has 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? yes, they may forget, yet will I not forget you.
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 you on the palms of my hands; your 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 Your children shall make haste; your destroyers and they that made you waste shall go forth of you.
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 your eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live, says the LORD, you shall surely clothe you with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on you, as a bride does.
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 your waste and your desolate places, and the land of your destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed you 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 which you shall have, after you have lost the other, shall say again in your 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 shall you say in your heart, Who has begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?
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 says the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried on 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 your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet; and you shall 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 lawful captive 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 says the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contends with you, and I will save your 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 you 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 your Savior and your 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.
