< Isaia 35 >
1 E OLIOLI auanei ka waonahele, a me kahi maloo no ia mau mea; E hauoli hoi ka waoakua, a e pua mai hoi, e like me ka lilia.
The wilderness and the parched land shall be glad, And the desert rejoice and blossom as the rose;
2 E pua nui no ia, a e hauoli hoi me ka olioli, a me ka hauoli; E haawiia'ku ka nani o Lebanona ia ia, A me ka maikai o Karemela, a me Sarona; E ike auanei lakou i ka nani o Iehova, A me ka hanohano o ko kakou Akua.
It shall blossom abundantly, and exult with joy and singing; The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it; The beauty of Carmel and Sharon; They shall behold the glory of Jehovah, The majesty of our God;
3 E hooikaika oukou i na lima nawaliwali, A e hookupaa i na kuli kulanalana.
Strengthen ye the weak hands, And confirm the tottering knees!
4 E olelo aku oukou i ka poe makau o ka naau, I nui ka ikaika, mai makau oukou; Aia hoi ko oukou Akua! E hele mai no ia e hoopai, o ke Akua hoi me ka hoouku; E hele mai no oia, a e hoola ia oukou.
Say ye to the faint-hearted, “Be ye strong; fear ye not; Behold your God! Vengeance cometh, the retribution of God; He will come and save you!”
5 Alaila, e hookaakaaia na maka o ka poe makapo, A e hoohakahakaia na pepeiao o ka poe kuli.
Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, And the ears of the deaf be unstopped.
6 Alaila, e lelele no ka oopa me he dia la, A e oli hoi ke alelo o ka leo paa: No ka mea, e puka mai no ka wai ma ka waonahele, A me na muliwai hoi ma ka waoakua.
Then shall the lame leap like the hart, And the tongue of the dumb shall sing; For in the wilderness shall waters break forth, And streams in the desert.
7 E lilo no ka lepo olinolino i waiauau, A me kahi maloo, i waipuna; Ma ka hale o ka ilio hihiu, kahi ana i moe ai, He wahi ia no ka ohe, a me ke kome.
The glowing sands shall become a pool, And the thirsty ground springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where they lie, Shall be a place for reeds and rushes.
8 A malaila no ke kuamoo, he alanui hoi, A e kapaia no ia, Ke alanui o ka pono. Aole hele malaila ka mea haumia; E hele pu no oia me lakou ma ke ala, Aole lalau ka poe naaupo malaila.
And a path shall be there, and a highway, And it shall be called the holy way; No unclean person shall pass over it; it shall be for them alone; He that therein goeth in this way, though a fool, shall not err therein.
9 Aole liona ma ia wahi, Aole pii aku malaila kekahi holoholona hae, Aole e loaa ia ma ia wahi; Aka, malaila no e hele ai ka poe i hoolapanaiia.
No lion shall be there, Nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon; It shall not be found there; But the redeemed shall walk there.
10 A e hoi mai no ko Iehova poe i kuai hoolaia, E hele mai no lakou i Ziona me ke oli, A me ka hauoli mau maluna o ko lakou mau poo; E loaa no ia lakou ka olioli, a me ka hauoli, A e auhee aku no ke kaumaha, a me ke kaniuhu.
Yea, the ransomed of Jehovah shall return; They shall come to Zion with songs: Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
