< Isaia 41 >
1 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 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 Alualu oia ia lakou, a maluhia hoi kona hele ana; Ma ke ala hoi i hahi ole ia mamua e kona mau wawae.
4 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 Ike mai la na aina, a makau iho la, Weliweli no na kukulu o ka honua, Hookokoke mai lakou, a hele mai la.
6 Kokua no kela mea keia mea i kona hoa, A olelo ae la i kona hoahanau, E ikaika oe.
7 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
