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; His aid doth 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 ye the gates, That the righteous nation may enter in, The nation that keepeth the truth.
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.
Him that is of a steadfast mind Thou wilt keep in continual peace, Because he trusteth in thee.
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 ye in Jehovah forever, For the Lord Jehovah is an everlasting rock.
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 hath brought down the inhabitants of the fortress; The lofty city he hath laid low; He hath laid her low even to the ground; He hath levelled her with 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 trampleth upon her, The feet of the poor, 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 upright is a smooth way; Thou, O most righteous, doth level the path of the upright!
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.
In the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited for thee; The desire of our souls is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
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.
My soul longeth for thee in the night, And my spirit within me seeketh thee in the morning; For when thy judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world 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.
Though favor be shown to the wicked, He will not learn righteousness; In the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, And have no regard to the majesty of Jehovah.
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.
Thy hand, O Jehovah, is lifted up, yet do they not see; But they shall see with shame thy zeal for thy people; Yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.
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.
Thou, O Jehovah, wilt give us peace; For all our works thou doest for 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 Jehovah, our God, other lords have had dominion over us besides thee; Only through thee do we call upon thy 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 shades, they shall not rise. For thou hast visited and destroyed them, And caused all the memory of them 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.
“Thou wilt enlarge the nation, O Jehovah! Thou wilt enlarge the nation; thou wilt glorify thyself; Thou wilt widely extend all the borders of the land.
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.
O Jehovah, in affliction they sought thee; They poured out their prayer, when thy chastisement was upon 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.
As a woman with child, when her delivery is near, Is in anguish, and crieth aloud in her pangs, So have we been, far from thy presence, O Jehovah!
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 anguish, Yet have, as it were, brought forth wind. To the land we bring no deliverance; Nor are the inhabitants of the land born.
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.
O might thy dead live again, Might the dead bodies of my people arise! Awake, and sing, ye that dwell in the dust! For thy dew is like the dew upon plants, And the earth shall bring forth her 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 into thy chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee; Hide thyself for a little moment, Until the indignation be overpast!
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, Jehovah cometh forth from his place, To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; And the earth shall disclose her blood, And shall no longer cover her slain.
