Isaiah 55
1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters! Even ye that have no money, come ye, buy and eat! Yea, 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 Wherefore do ye spend your money for that which is not bread, And your substance for that which doth not satisfy? Listen attentively to me; so shall ye eat that which is good, And your soul shall delight itself with delicacies.
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 shall live! And I will make with you an everlasting covenant; I will give you the sure mercies of David.
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 gave him for a commander to the nations; For a prince, and a lawgiver to the nations.
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, the nation which thou knowest not thou shalt call; And the nation which knew not thee shall run to thee, For the sake of Jehovah, thy God, And of the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee.
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 ye Jehovah, while he may be found; Call upon 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 unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him, And to our God, for he will abundantly 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, Neither are your ways my ways, saith Jehovah.
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 the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways higher than your ways, And my thoughts than 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 rain and the snow descend from heaven, And return not thither, But water the earth, and make it bear and put forth its increase, That it may give 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 shall my word be, that goeth forth from my mouth; It shall not return to me void; But it shall bring to pass that which is my pleasure, And it shall accomplish that for which I send 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 ye shall go out with joy And be led forth with peace; The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
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 shall grow up the cypress-tree, And instead of the bramble shall grow up the myrtle-tree, And it shall be to Jehovah for a name; For an everlasting memorial, that shall not pass away.
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.
