Isaiah 46
1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavily loaded; they were a burden to the weary beast.
KE kukuli nei o Bela, ke kulou nei o Nebo, Aia hoi ko lakou akuakii maluna o na holoholona a me na mea laka; Ua kaumaha loa ko oukou mea lawe, He ukana kaumaha i ka mea i maloeloe.
2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves have gone into captivity.
Kulou no lakou, a kukuli pu no hoi ilalo; Aole hiki ia lakou ke hookuu i ka ukana, Ua hele no lakou iloko o ke pio ana.
3 Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are borne by me from birth, who are carried from the womb:
E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e ko ka hale o Iakoba, A me ke koena a pau o ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, Ka poe i laweia e au mai ka opu mai, A kaikaiia hoi mai ka hanau ana mai.
4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to gray hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
A hiki i kou wa elemakule, owau no ia, A i ka wa e poohina'i, na'u no oe e lawe. Ua hana no owau, a na'a hoi e halihali; Na'u no e lawe, a na'u hoi e hoopakele.
5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
Me wai oukou e hoohalike ai ia'u, a me ka hoopili ia'u? Me wai hoi maua e like ai?
6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
Ninini aku lakou i ke gula mawaho o ka eke, A kaupaona hoi i ke kala ma ka mea kaulike, A hoolimalima hoi i ka mea hana gula, A hana iho la oia ia mea, i akuakii; Kulou no lakou, a moe hoomana aku la,
7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not move: yea, one shall cry to him, yet he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
Kaikai no lakou ia ia ma ka poohiwi, Lawe lakou ia ia, a hooku ia ia ma kona wahi, a ku no ia; Aole ia e neenee, mai kona wahi ae: Oia, kahea aku kekahi ia ia, aole nae ia e ekemu mai, Aole hoi e hoopakele ia ia i kona popilikia.
8 Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
E hoomanao oukou i keia, a e hookanaka hoi; E hooeueu i ka manao, e ka poe hana hewa.
9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
E hoomanao i na mea kahiko o kela wa mamua; No ka mea, owau no ke Akua, aohe mea e ae, Owau no ke Akua, aohe mea like me au,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
E hai ana i ka hope, mai kinohi mai, E hai ana hoi, mai kahiko loa mai, i na mea i hana ole ia, Me ka olelo iho, E kupaa ana ko'u manao, A e hana no hoi au i ko'u makemake a pau.
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also perform it.
Hea aku no wau i ka manu huhu, mai ka hikina mai, I ke kanaka hoi a'u i manao ai, mai ka aina mamao aku; Oia, ua olelo no wau, a na'u hoi ia e hana; Ua manao no wau, a e hana io no hoi au ia.
12 Hearken to me, ye stubborn in heart, that are far from righteousness:
E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e na mea i paakiki ka naau, Ka poe mamao loa aku i ka pono.
13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not delay: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
Ke lawe aku nei au i ko'u pono a kokoke, Aole ia e mamao aku, aole hoi e hookaulua iho ko'u hoola: E haawi aku no au i ke ola ma Ziona, me ka Iseraela, ko'u mea e nani ai.
