Isaiah 62
1 Because I am very concerned about [the people of] Jerusalem [DOU], I will do something to help them. I will not stop praying for them until they are rescued/freed [from their oppressors], until that becomes as apparent to everyone as the dawn [every morning], until people can see it as clearly as [SIM] they see a torch shining brightly [at night].
NO Ziona, aole au e noho ekemu ole, A no Ierusalema, aole au e noho hoomaha, A puka aku la kona pono, e like me ka malamalama, A me kona ola, e like me ka lama e a ana.
2 [Some day] the [people of many] nations will know that Yahweh has rescued you, [his people]. Their kings will see that your city is [very] great/glorious. And Yahweh [MTY] will give your [city] a new name.
A e ike auanei ko na aina e i kou pono, A o na'lii a pau i kou nani; A e kapaia no hoi oe ma ka inoa hou, Ka mea a ka waha o Iehova e kapa ai.
3 [It will be as though] Yahweh will hold you up in his hands in order that everyone can see you. Under his authority [MTY], you will be [like] a glorious headband/turban worn by a king.
E lilo no oe i papale alii nani loa, ma ka lima o Iehova, A i lei alii maikai, ma ka lima o kou Akua.
4 Your [city] will never again be called “the deserted/abandoned city” and your country will never again be called “the desolate land”; it will be called “the land that Yahweh delights in”, and [it will also be called] “married to Yahweh”. It will be called that because Yahweh will be delighted with you, [and it will be as though] you are his bride [MET].
Aole oe e i hou ia, o Azuba; Aole hoi e kapa hou ia kou aina, o Semama; Aka, e kapaia no oe, o Hepeziba, A o kou aina hoi, o Beula; No ka mea, ua aloha mai o Iehova ia oe, A e mareia hoi kou aina.
5 You people will live in all the country of Judah like [SIM] a young man lives with his bride. And our God will be happy that you [belong to] him like [SIM] a bridegroom is happy that his bride [belongs to him].
No ka mea, e like me ka mare ana o ke kanaka opiopio i ka wahine puupaa, Pela no e mare ai kau mau keikikane ia oe. E like hoi me ka olioli ana o ke kanemare i ka wahine i mare hou ia, Pela no e olioli ai kou Akua ia oe.
6 [You people of] Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen on your walls; they will [LIT] earnestly pray to Yahweh day and night. You watchmen, you must not stop [praying] [and] reminding Yahweh [about what he has promised to do]!
Ua hoonoho wau i poe kiai, maluna o kou mau papohaku, e Ierusalema. A po ka la, a ao ka po, aole lakou e noho ekemu ole; O oukou hoi, ka poe hookaulana ia Iehova, Mai hoomaha oukou ia oukou iho;
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
Aole hoi e haawi ia ia i ka hoomaha, A hoala hou oia ia Ierusalema, A hoolilo ia ia i mea nani ma ka honua.
8 Yahweh has raised his right hand to solemnly promise [to the people of Jerusalem], “I will use my power [MTY] and never again allow your enemies to defeat you; [soldiers from other nations will never come again] to take away your grain and the wine that you worked hard [to produce].
Ua hoohiki no o Iehova ma kona lima akau, ma ka lima o kona ikaika hoi; He oiaio, aole au e haawi hou i kau palaoa i mea ai na kou poe enemi, Aole e inu na keiki a ka malihini i kou waina, Ka mea au i hooikaika ai.
9 You yourselves grew the grain, and you will be the ones who will praise [me], Yahweh, while you eat [the bread made from] that grain. Inside the courtyards of my temple you yourselves will drink the wine made from the grapes [that you harvested].”
Aka, o ka poe i hooiliili i ka ai, na lakou ia e ai, A e hoomaikai aku hoi ia Iehova; A o ka poe nana i houluulu i ka waina, Na lakou ia e inu ma ko'u mau pa hoano.
10 Go out through the [city] gates! Prepare the highway on which people [will return from other countries]! Cause the road to become smooth; clear off [all] the stones; set up signal flags to help the people-groups to see [where the road to Jerusalem is].
E hele ae, e hele ae, a iloko o na pukapa, E hoomakaukau i ke ala no na kanaka; E hoouka, e hoouka i ke kuamoo, E hoopau i na pohaku; E kau hoi i ka hae no na kanaka.
11 This is the message that Yahweh has sent to [the people of] every nation: “Tell the people of Israel, ‘The one who will rescue/save you is coming! Look! He will be bringing to you (your reward/what you deserve [for the good things that you have done]); those whom he is setting free will be going ahead of him.’”
Aia hoi, ua hoolaha aku o Iehova a i na kukulu o ka honua, E i aku oukou i ke kaikamahine o Ziona, Aia hoi, ke hele mai nei kou Ola; Aia hoi, me ia pu no kana uku mai, A o kana ukuhana hoi ma kona alo.
12 They will be called “Yahweh’s own people, the ones whom he rescued”. And Jerusalem will be known as the city that [Yahweh] loves, the city that is no [longer] abandoned.
A e kapa aku lakou ia poe, He poe kanaka hoano, Ka poe i hoolapanaiia e Iehova; A e kapaia no hoi oe, o Imiia, He kulanakauhale haalele ole ia.
