< Isaiah 54 >

1 Shout in triumph, O barren one, Who hadst not borne, —Break forth into shouts of triumph—and trill thy voice, Who hadst not travailed in birth, For, more, are the children of the Desolate Than the children of Her who had the husband, Saith Yahweh.
E OLI oe, e ka mea pa, ka mea i hanau ole hoi; E oli i ke oli, a e hauoli hoi, e ka mea kuakoko ole; No ka mea, ua nui aku na keiki a ka mea i neoneo, i na keiki a ka wahine i mareia, wahi a Iehova.
2 Enlarge the space of thy tent And the curtains of thy habitations, let them spread forth do not spare, —Lengthen thy cords, And thy tent-pins, make thou fast;
A hoakea i kahi o kou halelewa, E hoopalahalaha hoi lakou i na paku o kou wahi e noho ai; Mai aua, e hooloihi i kou mau kaula, E hoopaa loa hoi i kou mau makia;
3 For, on the right hand and on the left, shalt thou break forth, —And thy seed, shall of the nations, take possession, And forsaken cities, shall they cause to be inhabited.
No ka mea, e poha aku auanei oe, ma ka lima akau, a ma ka lima hema; A e ili mai ko na aina na kau poe mamo, A ia lakou no e hoonohoia na kulanakauhale neoneo.
4 Do not fear for thou shalt not turn pale, Neither feel disgraced for thou shalt not be put to the blush, —For, the shame of thy youth, shalt thou forget, And the reproach of thy widowhood, shalt thou remember no more;
Mai makau oe, no ka mea, aole oe e hilahila, Mai hoopalaimaka, no ka mea, aole oe hoohilahilaia; E hoopoina no hoi oe i ka hilahila o kou wa opiopio, Aole hoi e mauao hou i ka hoowahawahaia o kou noho wahine kane make ana.
5 For, thy husband, is, thy Maker, Yahweh of hosts, is his Name, —And, thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, The God of all the earth, shall he be called.
No ka mea, o ka mea nana oe i hana, oia kau kane, O Iehova o na kaua kona inoa; A o kou Hoolapanai, o ka Mea Hemolele ia o ka Iseraela; E kapaia no hoi oia, ke Akua o ka honua a pau.
6 For, like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, hath Yahweh called thee, —Even the wife of youthful days, in that thou wast rejected saith thy God.
No ka mea, ua hea aku o Iehova ia oe, E like me ka wahine i haaleleia, a kaumaha hoi ma ka naau, Ka wahine hoi i ka wa opiopio; No ka mea, e hooleia oia, wahi a ke Akua ou.
7 For a small moment, I forsook thee, —But, with abounding compassions, do I embrace thee:
No ka manawa uuku, ua haalele aku au ia oe; Aka, me ka lokomaikai he nui loa, e hoiliili au ia oe.
8 In an overflow of vexation, I hid my face for a moment, from thee, But, with lovingkindness age-abiding, have I had compassion on thee, —saith thy Redeemer Yahweh.
I ka hu ana o ka huhu, huna no wau i ko'u maka ia oe i kekahi minute; Aka, me ke aloha mau loa, e lokomaikai aku ai au ia oe, Wahi a Iehova, kou Hoolapanai.
9 For, the waters of Noah, is this unto me, —As to which I sware that the waters of Noah should not again pass over the earth, So have I sworn Not to be vexed with thee Nor to rebuke thee.
No ka mea, e like me na wai o Noa, pela no keia ia'u; Me au i hoohiki ai, aole e hoohalana hou na wai o Noa i ka honua, Pela no wau i hoohiki ai, aole au e huhu aku ia oe, Aole hoi au e paipai ikaika aku ia oe.
10 For, the mountains, may move away, And the hills, may be shaken, —But, my lovingkindness, from thee, shall not move away, And, my covenant of peace, shall not be shaken, saith he who hath compassion upon thee—Yahweh.
No ka mea, e lilo auanei na kuahiwi, A e hooneeneeia na mauna; Aka, aole e lilo aku ko'u lokomaikai, Aole hoi e hooneeneeia ka berita o ko'u malu, Wahi a Iehova, ka mea i aloha mai ia oe.
11 O thou humbled one storm-tossed, uncomforted, —Lo! I, am about to set in antimony, thy stones, And will found thee in sapphires;
E ka mea popilikia i hooalealeia, Aole hoi i alohaia! E hoonoho wau i kou mau pohaku maloko o ka pena, A e hookumu wau ia oe ma ua pohaku sapeiro.
12 And make rubies, thy battlements, And thy gates, sparkling stones, —And, all thy boundaries, stones of delight;
A hana no wau i kou mau puupuu kaua i pohaku paea, A me kou mau pukapa i pohaku ula, A me kou mau mokuna a pau i pohaku maikai.
13 And, all thy children, shall be the instructed of Yahweh, —And, great, shall be the prosperity of thy children.
E aoia no hoi kau mau keiki a pau e Iehova, A e nui loa auanei ka pomaikai o kau mau keiki.
14 In righteousness, shalt thou be established, —Be thou far from oppression—But indeed thou shalt not fear, And from crushing calamity—But indeed it shall not come nigh unto thee.
Ma ka pono no oe e hookumuia'i: E mamao aku oe i ka hookaumaha, No ka mea, aole oe e makau ana; A i ka weliweli hoi, no ka mea, aole ia e hookokoke mai ia oe.
15 Lo! they would, quarrel, with thee—not at all from me, —Whoso hath quarrelled with thee, over thee, shall fall.
Aia hoi, e hookipikipi no lakou, aole nae mamuli o ka'u olelo ana, O ka mea kipi aku ia oe, e haule no ia mamuli ou.
16 Lo! I, have created the smith, who bloweth up a fire of coals, And who bringeth forth an instrument for his work, —And, I, have created the waster to destroy:
Aia hoi, na'u no i hana i ka amara nana e puhi i ka lanahu i ke ahi, A hoopuka mai la oia i mea hana no kana hana; A na'u hoi i hana i ka mea make e make ai.
17 No instrument formed against thee, shall prosper, And every tongue that riseth against thee in judgment, shalt thou prove to be lawless, —This is the inheritance of the servants of Yahweh. And, their righteousness, is from me, Declareth Yahweh.
O na mea hoeha a pau i hanaia e ku e ia oe, aole lakou e lanakila, A o na elelo a pau e ala mai e ku e ia oe, nau no ia e hoahewa aku. Oia ka hooilina o na kanwa a Iehova, A na'u hoi ko lakou pono, wahi a Iehova.
