Isaiah 48
1 "Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness
E HOOLOHE oukou i keia, e ko ka hale o Iakoba, Ka poe i kapaia ma ka inoa o ka Iseraela, Ka poe hoi i laha mai, mai na wai o Iuda mai; Ka poe hoohiki ma ka inoa o Iehova, Ka poe hookaulana i ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aole nae me ka oiaio, aole me ka pono.
2 (for they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; the LORD of hosts is his name):
No ka mea, ua kapaia lakou mamulio ke kulanakauhale hoano, A hilinai lakou ma ke Akua o ka Iseraela, O Iehova o na kaua kona inoa.
3 I have declared the former things from of old; yes, they went forth out of my mouth, and I caused them to hear it. Suddenly I did them, and they happened.
Ua hoike aku no wau i na mea kahiko, mai kinohi mai, Mai ko'u waha i puka aku ai lakou; A na'u i hoike aku ia mau mea, Hana hoohikilele au, a hiki io mai no lakou.
4 Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;
No ka mea, ike mua no au, ua paakiki oe, A o kou a-i hoi, he olona hao, A o kou lae hoi, he keleawe.
5 therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, 'My idol has done them, and my engraved image, and my molten image, has commanded them.'
Nolaila, hai aku au ia oe i kela mea i kinohi; Mamau o kona hiki ana mai, hoikeike aku au ia oe, O olelo auanei oe, Na kuu kii i hana i keia mau mea, Na kuu kiikalaiia, a na kuu kiihooheheeia lakou i kauoha aku.
6 You have heard it; see all this; and you, will you not declare it? "I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.
Ua lohe no oe, e nana hoi oe ia mea a pau; Aole anei oukou e hai aku? I keia manawa, ua hai aku au ia oe i mea hou, I na mea hoi i hunaia, na mea au i ike ole ai
7 They are created now, and not from of old; and before this day you did not hear them; lest you should say, 'Look, I knew them.'
I keia manawa lakou i hanaia'i, aole mai kela wa mai, I ka la hoi au i lohe ole ai ia mau mea, O olelo auanei oe, Aia, ike no wau ia.
8 Yes, you did not hear; yes, you did not know; yes, from of old your ear was not opened: for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and was called a transgressor from the womb.
Oia, aole oe i lohe, aole hoi oe i ike; Oia, mai ia manawa mai, aole i hoohakahakaia kou pepeiao; No ka mea, ike mua no wau e hana aua oe me ka hoopunipuni nui loa, A mai ka opu mai, ua kapaia hoi oe o Kipi.
9 For my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I not cut you off.
No ko'u inoa no wau e hoopanee aku ai i ko'u iuaina, A no kuu nani, e hoomanawanui au ia oe, I mea e anai ole aku ai au ia oe.
10 Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
Aia hoi, ua hoohehee hoomaikai aku au ia oe, aole nae me ke kala; Ua hoao aku au ia oe ma ka umu o ka popilikia.
11 For my own sake, for my own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.
No'u iho, no'u iho no wau e hana aku ai ia; No ka mea, e hoohaumiaia anei ko'u? Aole au e haawi i ko'u nani ia hai.
12 "Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
E hoolohe mai oe ia'u, e ka Iakoba, a me ka Iseraela hoi, ko'u mea i heaia; Owau no ia, owau ka mua, owau hoi ka hope.
13 Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.
Oia, na ko'u lima no i hookumu i ka honua, Na kuu lima akau no i hoopalahalaha i na lani, Hea aku no au ia lakou, a ku pu mai la no lakou.
14 "Let all of them assemble and hear; who among them has declared these things? He whom the LORD loves shall perform his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
E akoakoa oukou a pau loa, a e hoolohe: Owai ka mea o lakou i hai i keia mau mea? O ka mea a Iehova i aloha aku ai, Nana no e hana kona makemake maluna o Babulona, A e kau no kona lima maluna o ko Kaledea.
15 I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him; I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Owau hoi, ua olelo no owau, Oia, ua hea aku no au ia ia; A na'u hoi ia i lawe mai nei, A e hoopomaikai oia i kona hele ana.
16 "Come near to me and hear this: "From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I." Now the LORD has sent me, with his Spirit.
E hookokoke mai oukou ia'u, e hoolohe i keia; Mai kinohi mai, aole au i olelo malu, Mai kona wa i hanaia'i, malaila no au; Ano hoi, ua hoouna mai ia'u o Iehova, ka Haku, a me kona Uhane.
17 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.
Penei hoi ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, a kou Hoolapanai, Ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela; Owau no Iehova, kou Akua, Ka mea ao aku ia oe i ka mea e pono ai, Ka mea alakai ia oe ma kahi e pono ai oe ke hele.
18 But would that you had listened to my commandments. Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
Ina i hoolohe mai oe i ka'u mau kauoha, Ina ua like kou malu me ka muliwai, A o kou pono hoi, me na aui o ka moana:
19 Your descendants would have been as the sand, and the offspring of your body like its grains; his name not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Ina ua like kau poe mamo me ke one, A me na keiki o kou opu me kona iliili; Aole hoi e hookiia kona inoa, aole hoi e hookaia'ku imua o'u.
20 Go forth from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare, tell this, send it out throughout the earth. Say, 'The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob.'
O haele oukou mawaho o Babulona, E holo oukou, mai ko Kaledea aku, Me ka leo o ke oli, e hai aku, e hookaulana i keia, E hoolaha aku a i na kukulu o ka honua; E i aku, Ua hoolapanai o Iehova i ka Iakoba, kana kauwa.
21 They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he split the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
Ia lakou i hele ai ma na wahi maloo, aole lakou i make wai: Hookahe oia i ka wai, mai loko mai o ka pohaku no lakou; Wawahi no oia i ka pohaku, a huai mai la na wai.
22 "There is no peace," says the LORD, "for the wicked."
Aole malu no ka poe hewa, wahi a Iehova.
