Isaiah 25
1 O YHWH, You [are] my God, I exalt You, I confess Your Name, For You have done a wonderful thing, Counsels of old, steadfastness, O steadfast One.
E IEHOVA, o oe no ko'u Akua, E hapai aku no wau ia oe, E hoolea aku no wau i kou inoa; No ka mea, ua hana oe i na mea kupanaha; Mai ka wa kahiko mai kou manao, He paa a he oiaio.
2 For You made of a city a heap, Of a fortified city a ruin, A high place of strangers from [being] a city, It is not built for all time.
No ka mea, ua hana mai oe i ke kulanakauhale, he puu, I ke kulanakauhale i paa i ka pakaua, he puu opala; I ka halealii o na malihini, i ole ia he kulanakauhale; Aole hoi ia e hana hou ia, a i ka manawa pau ole.
3 Therefore a strong people honors You, A city of the terrible nations fears You.
Nolaila, e hoomana'i ka lahuikanaka ikaika ia oe, A e makau no hoi ia oe ke kulanakauhale o na lahuikanaka weliweli.
4 For You have been a stronghold for the poor, A stronghold for the needy in his distress, A refuge from storm, a shadow from heat, When the spirit of the terrible [is] as a storm—a wall.
No ka mea, ua noho oe i puuhonua no ka poe hune, I puuhonua hoi no ka mea poino maloko o kona pilikia, He puuhonua no ka ino, he malu hoi no ka wela, I ka wa e ikaika ai ka makani o ka poe hooweliweli e like me ka ino ma ka paia.
5 As heat in a dry place, You humble the noise of strangers, [As] heat with the shadow of a thick cloud, The singing of the terrible is humbled.
E like me ka piao ana o ka aina maloo, Pela no oe e hoohaahaa'i i ka walaau o na kanaka e, E like me ka wela i pau i ke ao eleele, Pela no e hoopauia'i ke oli ana o ka poe ikaika.
6 And YHWH of Hosts has made, For all the peoples in this mountain, A banquet of fat things, A banquet of preserved things, Fat things full of marrow, Preserved things—refined.
Na Iehova o na kaua e hana maluna o keia mauna, I ahaaina mea ono, no na kanaka a pau, he aha inu waina kahiko, He mau mea maikai ono loa, he waina kahiko i hanaia a maikai.
7 And He has swallowed up in this mountain The face of the wrapping that is wrapped over all the peoples, And of the covering that is spread over all the nations.
Maluna o keia mauna e lawe lilo ai oia i ka pale, I ka mea i uhi ai i ka maka o na lahuikanaka a pau, A me ka pale i uhi ai maluna o ko na aina a pau.
8 He has swallowed up death in victory, And Lord YHWH has wiped [the] tear from off all faces, And He turns aside the reproach of His people from off all the earth, For YHWH has spoken.
E hoopau no hoi oia i ka make no ka manawa pau ole; A na ka Haku o Iehova, e holoi i ka waimaka, Mai na maka a pau aku; E lawe aku no hoi ia i ka hilahila o kona poe kanaka, Mai ka honua a pau aku; No ka mea, o Iehova ka i olelo mai.
9 And [one] has said in that day, “Behold, this [is] our God, We waited for Him, and He saves us, This [is] YHWH, we have waited for Him, We are glad and rejoice in His salvation!”
Ia la la, e olelo no lakou, Aia hoi, o ko makou Akua keia; Ua kakali makou ia ia, a ua hoola mai oia ia makou; O Iehova no keia, ua kakali makou ia ia, E olioli no makou, a e hauoli hoi ma kona ola.
10 For the hand of YHWH rests on this mountain, And Moab is trodden down under Him, As straw is trodden down on a dunghill.
No ka mea, ma keia mauna e hoomaha ai ka lima o Iehova, A e hahiia o Moaba malalo iho ona, E like me ka hahiia o ka mauu maloo ma ka puu opala.
11 And He spread out His hands in its midst, As the swimmer spreads out to swim; And He has humbled his excellence With the machinations of his hands.
E hohola aku no oia i kona mau lima mawaena konu o ia wahi, E like me ka mea auau, i halo aku i na lima e au: E hoohaahaa no ia i kona hookiekie, A me ka maalea o kona mau lima.
12 And the fortress of the high place of your walls He has bowed down—He has made low, He has caused [it] to come to the earth—to dust.
E hoohiolo no oia i ka pakaua o kou pa kiekie, E hana no oia a haahaa, E hoohaahaa no ma ka honua, ilalo hoi ma ka lepo.
