Isaia 26
1 A HIKI aku ia la, e oliia no keia oli ana, Ma ka aina o ka Iuda; He kulanakauhale paa ko makou; O ke ola no kana e hoonoho ai, i pa, i pakaua no hoi.
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2 E wehe i na pukapa, i komo iloko ka lahuikanaka pono, Ka poe hoi i malama i ka oiaio.
Open you the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3 Ka mea i kupaa ka manao, E malama ana oe ia ia me ka malu loa, No ka mea, ua hilinai aku oia ia oe.
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.
4 E hilinai aku oukou ia Iehova a i ka manawa pau ole; No ka mea, ma ka Haku, ma o IEHOVA la ka hoomalu, a i ka manawa pau ole.
Trust you in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
5 No ka mea, ua hoohaahaa oia i ka poe i noho ma kahi kiekie; Ua hoohaahaa oia i ke kulanakauhale kiekie, Ua hoohaahaa oia ia ia ma ka honua, Ua hoopili oia ia wahi ilalo i ka lepo.
For he brings down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he lays it low; he lays it low, even to the ground; he brings it even to the dust.
6 E hahi ana no ka wawae maluna ona, O na wawae o ka poe i hune, a me na kapuwai o ka poe i nele.
The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7 O ka aoao o ka poe i pono, ua pololei ia. O oe ka mea pololei e hoopololei i ke ala o ka poe pono.
The way of the just is uprightness: you, most upright, do weigh the path of the just.
8 Ma ke ala o kou mau kanawai, e Iehova, Ua hilinai aku makou ia oe, O ka makemake o ko makou naau, i kou inoa ia a me ka hoomanao aku ia oe.
Yes, in the way of your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you; the desire of our soul is to your name, and to the remembrance of you.
9 Me ko'u naau au i makemake aku ai ia oe i ka po; He oiaio, ua imi aku au ia oe i kakahiaka me ko'u uhane iloko o'u; No ka mea, i ka wa e hooponopono ai oe ma ka honua, E ao no na kanaka o keia ao i ka pono.
With my soul have I desired you in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you early: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10 E lokomaikaiia ka poe hewa, Aole nae ia e ao i ka pono; Ma ka aina o ka pololei, e hana kekee no ia, Aole hoi e manao aku i ka nani o Iehova.
Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
11 Ua hapaiia kou lima, e Iehova, Aole nae lakou i nana; E ike no nae lakou me ka hilahila, I kou aloha nui i na kanaka ou, E oiaio no, e ai no ke ahi i kou poe enemi.
LORD, when your hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yes, the fire of your enemies shall devour them.
12 E Iehova, e haawi mai ana no oe i ka malu no makou; No ka mea, ua hana no oe i ka makou hana a pau no makou.
LORD, you will ordain peace for us: for you also have worked all our works in us.
13 E Iehova, ko makou Akua, Ua noho mai na haku e, i alii maluna o makou, aole oe; Aka, ia oe wale no a me kou inoa makou e hookaulana aku ai.
O LORD our God, other lords beside you have had dominion over us: but by you only will we make mention of your name.
14 Ua make ia poe, aole lakou e ola; Ua nawaliwali lakou, aole lakou e ku hou mai: Nolaila oe i hoopai mai, a luku mai ia lakou, A ua hooki loa oe i ka manao ana ia lakou.
They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
15 Ua hoomahuahua oe i ka lahuikanaka, e Iehova, Ua hoomahuahua oe i ka lahuikanaka, ua hoonaniia oe; Ua hoopalahalaha ae oe i na mokuna a pau o ka aina.
You have increased the nation, O LORD, you have increased the nation: you are glorified: you had removed it far to all the ends of the earth.
16 E Iehova, maloko o ke kaumaha, ua imi aku lakou ia oe, I ka wa i hookaumaha ai oe ia lakou, nonoi ikaika loa aku lakou.
LORD, in trouble have they visited you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
17 E like me ka wahine hapai, a kokoke mai kona manawa e hanau ai, Ua nui kona eha, a uwe iho oia no ke kuakoko ana; Pela no makou imua ou, e Iehova.
Like as a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in your sight, O LORD.
18 Ua hapai no makou, ua nahu kuakoko, Ua hanau hoi makou, he mea me he makani la; Aole i hanaia ka mea e ola'i ma ka aina, Aole hoi i haule na kanaka o keia ao.
We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 E ola auanei kou poe i make, O ko'u poe i make, e ala mai no lakou: E ala mai, e oli oukou, e ka poe e noho ana ma ka lepo, No ka mea, o kou hau, o ka hau ia maluna o na mea ulu, E hoolei aku no ka aina i ka poe i make.
Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, you that dwell in dust: for your dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 E hele mai, e ko'u poe kanaka, E komo oukou iloko o ko oukou keena malu, E pani hoi i ko oukou puka mahope o oukou; E huna ia oe iho no ka manawa uuku, A hala aku ka inaina.
Come, my people, enter you into your chambers, and shut your doors about you: hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be over.
21 No ka mea, aia hoi, o Iehova, ke puka mai la, mai kona wahi mai, E hoopai i ka hewa o na kanaka maluna o ka honua; A e hoike aku no ka honua i ke koko iloko ona, Aole e uhi hou i kona poe i pepehiia,
For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
