< Isaiah 55 >
1 “Behold, every thirsty one, Come to the waters, And he who has no money, Come, buy and eat, Indeed, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.
E A! na mea a pau e makewai, E hele mai oukou i na wai, A o ka mea kala ole, e hele mai hoi oukou, e kuai no, a e ai iho; Oia, e hele mai, e kuai i ka waina, a me ka waiu, me ke kala ole, a me ke kumu ole.
2 Why do you weigh money for that which is not bread? And your labor for that which is not for satiety? Listen diligently to Me, and eat good, And your soul delights itself in fatness.
No ke aha la oukou i kaupaona aku ai i ka oukou kala i ka mea, aole ia he berena? A i ko oukou waiwai hoi, i ka mea hoomaona ole mai? E hoolohe pono mai oukou ia'u, a e ai hoi i ka mea i maikai io, A e olioli hoi ko oukou uhane ma ka momona.
3 Incline your ear, and come to Me, Hear, and your soul lives, And I make a perpetual covenant for you, The kind blessings of David that are steadfast.
E haliu mai i ko oukou pepeiao, a e hele mai ia'u; A hoolohe mai, a e ola no ko oukou uhane; A e hana no au me oukou i berita mau loa, I ka lokomaikai oiaio hoi o Davida.
4 Behold, I have given him [as] a witness to peoples, A leader and commander to peoples.
Aia hoi, ua haawi aku au ia ia i mea hoike no na kanaka, I alakai hoi, a i luna no na lahuikanaka.
5 Behold, a nation you do not know, you call, And a nation who does not know you runs to you, For the sake of your God YHWH, And for the Holy One of Israel, Because He has beautified you.”
Aia hoi, e kahea aku no oe i ka lahuikanaka au i ike ole ai; A o ka lahuikanaka i ike ole ia oe, e holo aku no lakou iou la, No Iehova, kou Akua, a no ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela; No ka mea, ua hoonani mai oia ia oe.
6 Seek YHWH while He may be found, Call Him while He is near,
E imi oukou ia Iehova, oiai oia ma kahi e loaa'i, E hea aku ia ia, oiai oia ma kahi kokoke.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returns to YHWH, And He pities him, And to our God, For He multiplies to pardon.
E haalele ke kanaka hewa i kona aoao, A me ke kanaka lawehala, i kona mau manao; A e hoi mai hoi oia io Iehova la, a e lokomaikai no oia ia ia, A i ko kakou Akua hoi, no ka mea, e kala nui loa auanei oia.
8 “For My thoughts [are] not your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways,” A declaration of YHWH,
No ka mea, o ko'u mau manao, aole ia o ko oukou mau manao, A o ko oukou mau aoao, aole ia o ko'u mau aoao, wahi a Iehova.
9 “For [as] high [as] the heavens have been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your thoughts.
No ka mea, e like me ke kiekie o na lani maluna o ka honua, Pela no ke kiekie o ko'u mau aoao maluna o ko oukou mau aoao, A me ko'u mau manao, maluna o ko oukou mau manao.
10 For as the shower comes down, And the snow from the heavens, And does not return there, But has watered the earth, And has caused it to yield, and to spring up, And has given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,
No ka mea, e like me ka ua, a me ka hau i iho mai, mai na lani mai, Aole hoi e hoi hou ilaila, aka, e hoomau mai no i ka honua, A hoohua iho la ia ia, e hoomuo no hoi, I haawi mai ia i ka hua na ka mea lulu hua, A i berena hoi na ka mea ai;
11 So is My word that goes out of My mouth, It does not return to Me empty, But has done that which I desired, And prosperously effected that [for] which I sent it.
Pela auanei ka'u olelo, ka mea i puka aku, mai ko'u waha aku, Aole ia e hoi nele mai ia'u; Aka, e hana no ia i ka mea a'u e makemake ai, A e hooko io ia i ka mea a'u e hoouna aku ai ia ia.
12 For you go forth with joy, And you are brought in with peace, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you [with] singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand.
No ka mea, e puka aku auanei oukou me ka olioli, A e alakaiia'ku oukou me ka malu: E hookani i ke oli na kuahiwi, a me na mauna imua o oukou, A e paipailima hoi na laau a pau o ke kula.
13 Instead of the thorn comes up fir, Instead of the brier comes up myrtle, And it has been to YHWH for a name, For a perpetual sign—it is not cut off!”
Ma kahi o ke kakalaioa e ulu mai auanei ka laau kaa, A ma kahi o ka laau ooi, ka hadasa hoi; A e lilo ia i mea kaulana no Iehova, I ouli mau loa no hoi e hooki ole ia'i.
