Isaiah 64
1 “[Yahweh], I wish that you would tear open the sky and come down, and cause the mountains to shake in your presence.
I NA oe e wahi i na lani, a iho hoi ilalo, I hehee na mauna imua o kou alo,
2 [Be] like a fire that burns twigs and causes water to boil! [Come down] in order that your enemies will know who you are, and the [people of other] nations will tremble in your presence.
E like me ke ahi i hoa i ka laau liilii, A me ke ahi i hoolapalapa ai i ka wai, I mea e hookaulana'i i kou inoa iwaena o kou poe enemi, I haalulu hoi na lahuikanaka imua o kou alo!
3 You have done awesome things which we were not expecting you to do; the mountains shook when you came down [at Horeb Mountain].
Me kau i hana'i i na mea weliweli a makou i manao ole ai, No ka mea, iho mai no oe, i hehee na mauna imua o kou alo.
4 Since (long ago/the world began), no one [SYN] has [ever] seen or heard about a God like you; you help those who (depend on/trust in) you.
Mai ka wa kahiko loa mai, aole i lohe lakou, aole i komo i ka pepeiao, Aole hoi i ike aku ka maka i ke Akua e ae, ke kaawale oe, I hana pela i ka mea kakali ia ia.
5 You help those who joyfully do what is right, those who conduct their lives as you want them to. But [we did not do that]; we continued to sin, and so you became angry with us. We have been sinning for a long time, so only if we continually do what you want us to do will we be saved.
Ua kuikahi no oe me ka mea olioli i ka hana i ka pono, Ka mea e hoomanao ia oe ma kou mau aoao; Aia hoi, ua huhu mai no oe, no ka mea, ua hana hewa makou; Maloko o kela mau mea, ua oia mau no, A e hoolaia no hoi makou.
6 We have all become people who are not fit to worship you; all of the good things that we have done are only like [SIM] filthy/blood-stained rags. Because of our sins, we are like [SIM] leaves that dry up and are blown away by the wind.
Aka, ua like no makou a pau me ka mea haumia, Ua like hoi ko makou pono a pau me ke kapa pea; A mae wale no hoi makou a pau, e like me ka lau; A ua kaikai aku no ko makou hewa ia makou, e like me ka makani.
7 None [of our people] worships you, and no one is completely dedicated to [IDM] you. You have turned away from us. [It is as though] you have caused us to be forced to continue our sinful behavior.
Aohe mea i hea aku i kou inoa, A hoala ia ia iho e hooikaika aku ma ou la; No ka mea, ua huna oe i kou maka, mai o makou aku, A ua hoomaule hoi ia makou no ko makou mau hewa.
8 Yahweh, you are our father. We are [like] [MET] clay, and you created us, [like] [MET] a potter [creates pottery].
Ano la, o oe, e Iehova, ko makou Makua, O makou no ka lepo, o oe ko makou potera; A o makou no a pau ka hana a kou lima.
9 Yahweh, do not continue to be angry [with us]; do not keep thinking about [our] sins forever. Do not forget that we are all your people.
Mai ukiuki nui mai oe, e Iehova, Mai hoomanao mau loa hoi i ka hewa: Aia hoi, ke nonoi aku nei makou ia oe, e nana mai, O makou no a pau kou poe kanaka.
10 [All of] your towns [in Judah] have become like [MET] deserts; [even] Jerusalem has been destroyed.
Ua lilo no kou mau kulanakauhale laa i waonahele, He waonahele o Ziona, He wahi neoneo o Ierusalema.
11 Your glorious temple on Zion Hill, where our ancestors worshiped you, has been destroyed by fire. And all our [other] beautiful things have been ruined.
O ko makou hale laa, a nani hoi, Kahi a ko makou poe makua i hoonani ai ia oe, Ua pau ia i ke ahi; A ua anaiia hoi ko makou mau mea maikai a pau.
12 Yahweh, you see all those things, so we worry that you will refrain [from helping us], and that you will cause us to suffer much more.
E uumi anei oe ia oe no keia mau mea, e Iehova? E noho ekemu ole anei oe, a e hoopilikia loa mai ia makou?
