Isaiah 41
1 Keep silent towards Me, O isles, And the peoples pass on [to] power, They come nigh, then they speak, 'Together — to judgment we draw near.'
E NOHO ekemu ole oukou, e na aina, imua o'u, E hoomahua aku na kanaka i ka ikaika: E hookokoke mai lakou, alaila e olelo mai lakou; E hookokoke pu kakou i ka hookolokolo ana.
2 Who stirred up from the east a righteous one? He calleth him to His foot, He giveth before him nations, And kings He causeth him to rule, He giveth [them] as dust [to] his sword, As driven stubble [to] his bow.
Na wai i hoala mai i ka mea pono, mai ka hikina mai, A kauoha hoi ia ia e hele ma kona wawae? A haawi ae la ia i na lahuikanaka imua ona, A hoonoho ia ia maluna o na'lii? A haawi hoi ia lakou e like me ka lepo imua o kana pahikana, E like hoi me ka opala lele imua o kona kakaka?
3 He pursueth them, he passeth over in safety A path with his feet he entereth not.
Alualu oia ia lakou, a maluhia hoi kona hele ana; Ma ke ala hoi i hahi ole ia mamua e kona mau wawae.
4 Who hath wrought and done, Calling the generations from the first? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last I [am] He.
Nawai ia i hoomakaukau, a hana hoi, Me ka hea ae i na hanauna kanaka, mai kinohi mai? Owau no o Iehova, o ka mea mua, A o ka mea hope hoi, owau no ia.
5 Seen have isles and fear, ends of the earth tremble, They have drawn near, yea, they come.
Ike mai la na aina, a makau iho la, Weliweli no na kukulu o ka honua, Hookokoke mai lakou, a hele mai la.
6 Each his neighbour they help, And to his brother he saith, 'Be strong.'
Kokua no kela mea keia mea i kona hoa, A olelo ae la i kona hoahanau, E ikaika oe.
7 And strengthen doth an artisan the refiner, A smoother [with] a hammer, Him who is beating [on] an anvil, Saying, 'For joining it [is] good,' And he strengtheneth it with nails, it is not moved!
Pela i hooikaika'i ke kahuna kalai i ka mea hana gula, A me ka mea anaanai me ka hamare i ka mea kuihao ma ke kua, I ae la, Ua makaukau ia no ke kapili ana; A hoopaa no oia ia mea i ke kui, i ole ia e naueue.
8 — And thou, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, Seed of Abraham, My lover,
Aka, o oe, e Iseraela, ka'u kauwa, O Iakoba, ka mea a'u i wae ai, Ka pua a Aberahama, ko'u hoaaloha,
9 Whom I have taken hold of, from the ends of the earth, And from its near places I have called thee, And I say to thee, My servant Thou [art], I have chosen thee, and not rejected thee.
Ka mea a'u i lalau aku ai, mai na kihi mai o ka honua nei, A hea aku no ia oe, mai kona mau kukulu mai, A i aku no hoi ia oe, O oe no ka'u kauwa, Ua wae aku no wau ia oe, aole au i haalele aku ia oe.
10 Be not afraid, for with thee I [am], Look not around, for I [am] thy God, I have strengthened thee, Yea, I have helped thee, yea, I upheld thee, With the right hand of My righteousness.
Mai makau oe, no ka mea, owau pu no me oe; Mai weliweli hoi, no ka mea, owau no kou Akua. Na'u no i hooikaika aku ia oe, A na'u hoi oe i kokua aku; Ua hookupaa aku au ia oe i ka lima akau o ko'u pono.
11 Lo, all those displeased with thee, They are ashamed and blush, They are as nothing, yea, perish Do the men who strive with thee.
Aia hoi e hilahila auanei, a e hoopalaimaka hoi ka poe a pau i inaina aku ia oe; E like auanei lakou me he mea ole la, A e make no hoi ka poe kanaka e hakaka me oe.
12 Thou seekest them, and findest them not, The men who debate with thee, They are as nothing, yea, as nothing, The men who war with thee.
E imi no oe ia lakou, aole loaa lakou ia oe, O na kanaka hoi e hakaka me oe; E like ana lakou me ka mea ole, me he mea ole loa hoi, O na kanaka hoi e kaua aku ia oe.
13 For I, Jehovah thy God, Am strengthening thy right hand, He who is saying to thee, 'Fear not, I have helped thee.'
No ka mea, owau o Iehova, o kou Akua, ka mea i hoopaa i kou lima akau, Ka mea olelo aku ia oe, Mai makau; owau no kou mea nana e kokua.
14 Fear not, O worm Jacob, ye men of Israel, I helped thee, an affirmation of Jehovah, Even thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Mai makau, e ka enuhe, e Iakoba e, O oukou no hoi, e na kanaka o ka Iseraela; Na'u no oe e kokua aku, wahi a Iehova, kou Hoolapanai, Ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela.
15 Lo, I have set thee for a new sharp threshing instrument, Possessing teeth, thou threshest mountains, And beatest small, and hills as chaff thou makest.
Aia hoi, e hana no wau ia oe i mea kaapalaoa hou oioi, mea niho; A e hookaa no oe maluna o na kuahiwi, a e kui hoi ia lakou a wali, A e hoolilo no oe i na puu, i mea like me ka opala,
16 Thou winnowest them, and a wind lifteth them up, And a whirlwind scattereth them, And thou — thou rejoicest in Jehovah, In the Holy One of Israel dost boast thyself.
E lulu ana no oe ia lakou, a na ka makani lakou e lawe aku, A na ka puahiohio e hoopuehu aku ia lakou; Aka, e olioli no oe ia Iehova, A e hauoli hoi i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
17 The poor and the needy are seeking water, And there is none, Their tongue with thirst hath failed, I, Jehovah do answer them, The God of Israel — I forsake them not.
Imi ka poe hune, a me ka poe nele, i ka wai, a loaa ole, Ua paapaa ko lakou alelo i ka makewai, Alaila, e hoolohe au, o Iehova, i ka lakou, Owau, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, aole au e haalele ia lakou.
18 I open on high places rivers, And in midst of valleys fountains, I make a wilderness become a pond of water, And a dry land become springs of water.
E wahi au i muliwai ma na puu, I wai puna hoi maloko o na awawa; E hoolilo au i ka waonahele i kiowai, A me ka aina maloo, i wahi e huai mai ai na wai.
19 I give in a wilderness the cedar, Shittah, and myrtle, and oil-tree, I set in a desert the fir-pine and box-wood together.
Ma ka waonahele, e haawi no au i ka laau kedera, I ka laau sitima hoi, a me ka hadasa, a me ka oliva; A na'u no e kanu, ma ka waoakua, i laau kaa, I tidara no hoi, a me ke teasura:
20 So that they see, and know, And regard, and act wisely together, For the hand of Jehovah hath done this, And the Holy One of Israel hath prepared it.
I ike lakou, a hoomaopopo hoi, A noonoo, me ka ike lea pu, Na ka lima o Iehova i hana i keia, Na ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela ia i hoopaa.
21 Bring near your cause, saith Jehovah, Bring nigh your mighty ones, saith the king of Jacob.
E hoopii mai oukou i ko oukou mea hookolokolo, wahi a Iehova; E hoike mai i ko oukou mea e akaka ai, wahi a ke Alii o ka Iakoba.
22 They bring nigh, and declare to us that which doth happen, The first things — what they [are] declare ye, And we set our heart, and know their latter end, Or the coming things cause us to hear.
E hookokoke mai lakou, a e hoike mai hoi ia kakou i na mea e hiki mai ana; I na mea kahiko hoi, e hai mai lakou ia mau mea, I noonoo kakou ia mau mea, a ike hoi i ko lakou hope; E hai mai hoi ia kakou i na mea e hiki mai ana.
23 Declare the things that are coming hereafter, And we know that ye [are] gods, Yea, ye may do good or do evil, And we look around and see [it] together.
A e hoomaopopo mai hoi i na mea o keia hope e hiki mai ana, Alaila e ike no makou, he mau akua no oukou: Oia e hana hoi i ka maikai, a i ka hewa paha, Alaila, makou e weliweli, a e ike pu no hoi.
24 Lo, ye [are] of nothing, and your work of nought, An abomination — it fixeth on you.
Aia hoi, no ka ole mai oukou, A me ka oukou hana hoi, noloko mai ia o ka ole; O ka mea makemake aku ia oukou he mea hoopailua ia.
25 I have stirred up [one] from the north, And he cometh, From the rising of the sun he calleth in My name, And he cometh in [on] prefects as [on] clay, And as a potter treadeth down mire.
Ua hoala aku au i kekahi, mai ka akau mai, a e hele io mai no ia; E kahea mai no oia i ko'u inoa, mai kahi e puka mai ai ka la; A e hele mai no oia maluna o na'lii e like me ka lepo, E like hoi me ko ka potera hahi ana i ka lepo kawili.
26 Who hath declared from the first, and we know? And beforetime, and we say, 'Righteous?' yea, there is none declaring, Yea, there is none proclaiming, Yea, there is none hearing your sayings.
Nawai i hoike mai, mai kinohi mai, i ike kakou? I ka wa mamua hoi, i olelo kakou, Ua pololei? Aohe mea nana i hoike, he oiaio, aohe mea nana e hoakaka mai, He oiaio no, aohe mea i lohe i ka oukou mau olelo.
27 First to Zion, Behold, behold them, And to Jerusalem one proclaiming tidings I give,
Na'u ka mea mua e olelo ia Ziona, Aia hoi, e nana aku ia lakou; A na'u hoi e haawi aku ia Ierusalema i ka mea hai i ka olelo maikai.
28 And I see that there is no man, Yea, of these that there is no counsellor, And I ask them, and they return word:
Aka, nana aku la au, aohe hoi kanaka, A iwaena hoi o ia poe, aohe kakaolelo, A i ko'u ninau ana ia lakou, aohe mea o lakou i olelo mai.
29 'Lo, all of them [are] vanity, Nought [are] their works, Wind and emptiness their molten images!'
Aia hoi, he mea ole lakou a pau, He mea ole hoi ka lakou hana; He makani, he lapuwale hoi ko lakou akuakii i hooheheeia.
