< Isaiah 51 >

1 "Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Jehovah: look to the rock you were cut from, and to the hold of the pit you were dug from.
E HOOLOHE mai oukou ia'u, e ka poe hahai i ka pono, Ka poe hoi e imi ana ia Iehova; E nana oukou ma ka pohaku, kahi a oukou i kalaiia'i, A i ka lua hoi maloko o ke ana, kahi a oukou kohiia'i.
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
E nana hoi ma o Aberahama la, ko oukou kupuna, Ia Sara hoi i ka mea nana oukou i hanau; No ka mea, oia hookahi ka'u i hea aku ai, A hoopomaikai aku ia ia, a hoonui aku i kana.
3 For Jehovah has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah; joy and gladness shall be found in it, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Pela no o Iehova e hoomaha mai ai ia Ziona, E hoomaha mai no i kona mau wahi neoneo a pau; A e hana no oia i kona waonahele, a like me Edena, A me kona waoakua e like me ka mahinaai a Iehova; Maloko olaila, e loaa no ka olioli a me ka hauoli, Ka hoolea ana, me ka leo o ke oli.
4 "Attend to me, my people; and give ear to me, my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
E hoolohe mai ia'u, e ko'u poe kanaka, E haliu mai ka pepeiao ia u, e ka lahuikanaka o'u; No ka mea, e laha aku no ke kanawai, mai o'u aku nei, A e hoolilo no wau i ko'u pono, i malamalama no na kanaka.
5 My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples; the islands shall wait for me, and on my arm shall they trust.
Ua kokoke mai no ko'u pono, ua hele aku hoi ko'u ola, Na kuu lima no e hooponopono i kanaka; E kali no na mokupuni ia'u, a ma ko'u lima lakou e hilinai ai.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and those who dwell in it shall die in the same way: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
E alawa ae i ko oukou maka iluna a i ka lani, E nana hoi ma ka honua malalo; E holo aku auanei na lani, e like me ka uwahi, A e apulu no hoi ka honua, me he lole la, Pela no e make ai ka poe e noho ana maluna iho; Aka, e oia mau ana no ko'u ola, Aole hoi e pau ana ko'u pono.
7 "Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; do not fear the reproach of men, neither be dismayed at their insults.
E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e ka poe ike i ka pono, E na kanaka hoi i loaa ko'u kanawai ma ko lakou naau; Mai makau oukou i ka hoowahawaha o kanaka, Mai weliweli hoi i ka lakou olelo hoino ana.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations."
No ka mea, e ai no ka mu ia lakou, me he lole la, E ai no hoi ka huhu ia lakou e like me ka hulu hipa: Aka, e mau loa ana no ko'u pono, a i ke ao pau ole, A me ko'u ola hoi, mai keia hanauna, a ia hanauna aku.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn't it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
E ala, e ala, e aahu i ka ikaika, e ka lima o Iehova; E ala, e like me ia i na la mamua, I na hanauna kahiko loa aku hoi. Aole anei oe ka mea nana i okioki ia Rahaba? A hou iho no hoi i ka moonui?
10 Isn't it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
Aole anei oe ka mea nana i hoomaloo i ke kai? I na wai hoi o ka hohonu nui? A hoolilo hoi i na wahi hohonu o ke kai, I alanui e hele ai ka poe i hoolapanaiia?
11 The ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
E hoi mai no hoi ko Iehova poe i hoolapanaiia, E hele mai no lakou i Ziona me ke oli; He hauoli mau loa maluna o ko lakou mau poo: E loaa no ia lakou ka olioli, a me ka hauoli, A e hee loa aku no ke kaumaha, a me ke kaniuhu.
12 "I, even I, am he who comforts you: who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass;
Owau, owau no ka mea nana oukou e hoomaha aku; Owai hoi oe, i makau aku ai oe i ke kanaka, i ka mea e make ana, A i ke keiki a ke kanaka hoi, i ka mea e lilo ana i mauu?
13 and have forgotten Jehovah your Maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
A hoopoina hoi ia Iehova, i ka Mea nana oe i hana, A hohola ae la hoi i na lani, a hookumu i ka honua, A makau mau loa no hoi oe i na la a pau, No ka inaina o ka mea hooluhi, Ina paha ia e makaukau e luku iho? Auhea hoi ka inaina o ka mea hooluhi?
14 The captive exile shall speedily be freed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
Wikiwiki ae la ke pio kulou, i weheia'i oia, I ole ia o make maloko o ka lua, I pau ole hoi kana berena.
15 For I am Jehovah your God, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
Aka, owau no Iehova, kou Akua, Ka mea nana i hookupikipikio ke kai, A halulu mai la kona mau ale, O Iehova o na kaua kona inoa.
16 I have put my words in your mouth, and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, 'You are my people.'"
Ua hahao no wau i ko'u mau huaolelo iloko o kou waha, A ua uhi aku ia oe i ke aka o ko'u lima, Me ka makia aku i na lani, a me ka hookumu i ka honua, I olelo aku au ia Ziona, O oe no ko'u poe kanaka.
17 Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, that have drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath; you have drunk from the bowl, of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
E ala e ala, e ku iluna, e Ierusalema, Ka mea i inu ma ka lima o Iehova, i ke kiaha o kona inaina; Ua inu no oe i ke kiaha bola e hikaka ai, Ua inu oe a moni loa hoi ilalo.
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; neither is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons who she has brought up.
Aole mea e alakai ia ia o na keikikane a pau ana i hanau ai; Aohe mea lalau i kona lima o na keikikane a pau ana i hanai ai a nui.
19 These two things have happened to you. Who will grieve for you? Desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. Who will console you?
Ua hiki mai keia mau mea elua maluna ou; Owai hoi ka mea minamina ia oe? O ka neoneo a me ka make, O ka wi a me ka pahikaua; Ma owai la hoi au e hoomaha aku ai ia oe?
20 Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of your God.
Ua maule kau mau keikikane, Ke kaa nei no ma na poo o na alanui a pau, E like me ka bipi hihiu maloko o ka upena; Ua hoopihaia lakou i ka inaina o Iehova, I ka paipai ana hoi o kou Akua.
21 Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunk, but not with wine:
Nolaila, e hoolohe mai oe i keia, e ka mea popilikia, A ona hoi, aole nae i ka waina:
22 Thus says your Lord Jehovah, your God who pleads the cause of his people, "Look, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; you shall no more drink it again:
Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, kou Haku, O kou Akua hoi, nana e kokua i kona poe kanaka: Aia hoi, ua lawe au i ke kiaha e hikaka ai, mai kou lima aku, I ke kiaha bola hoi o ko'u inaina, Aole oe e inu hou.
23 and I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, 'Bow down, that we may walk over you;' and you have laid your back as the ground, and as the street, to those who walk over."
Aka, e waiho aku au ia mea iloko o ka lima o ka poe hookaumaha ia oe, O ka poe i olelo ia oe, E moe ilalo, i hele aku makou maluna ae; A ua hoomoe oe i kou kua e like me ka lepo, Me he alanui la hoi, no ka poe i hele ae.
