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.
Keep silence before mee, O ylands, and let the people renue their strength: let the come neere, and let them speake: let vs come together into iudgement.
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?
Who raised vp iustice from the East, and called him to his foote? and gaue the nations before him, and subdued the Kings? he gaue them as dust to his sword, and as scattered stubble vnto his bowe.
3 Alualu oia ia lakou, a maluhia hoi kona hele ana; Ma ke ala hoi i hahi ole ia mamua e kona mau wawae.
He pursued them, and passed safely by the way that he had not gone with his feete.
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.
Who hath wrought and done it? he that calleth the generations from the beginning. I the Lord am the first, and with the last I am ye same.
5 Ike mai la na aina, a makau iho la, Weliweli no na kukulu o ka honua, Hookokoke mai lakou, a hele mai la.
The yles sawe it, and did feare, and the ends of the earth were abashed, drew neere, and came.
6 Kokua no kela mea keia mea i kona hoa, A olelo ae la i kona hoahanau, E ikaika oe.
Euery man helped his neighbour, and saide to his brother, Be strong.
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.
So the workeman comforted the founder, and he that smote with ye hammer, him that smote by course, saying, It is ready for the sodering, and he fastened it with nayles that it shoulde not be mooued.
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,
But thou, Israel, art my seruant, and thou Iaakob, whom I haue chosen, the seede of Abraham my friend.
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.
For I haue taken thee from the endes of the earth, and called thee before the chiefe thereof, and saide vnto thee, Thou art my seruant: I haue chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
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.
Feare thou not, for I am with thee: be not afraide, for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee, and helpe thee, and will susteine thee with the right hand of my iustice.
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.
Beholde, all they that prouoke thee, shalbe ashamed, and confounded: they shalbe as nothing, and they that striue with thee, shall perish.
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.
Thou shalt seeke them and shalt not finde them: to wit, the men of thy strife, for they shall be as nothing, and the men that warre against thee, as a thing of nought.
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.
For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying vnto thee, Feare not, I wil helpe thee.
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.
Feare not, thou worme, Iaakob, and ye men of Israel: I wil helpe thee, sayth the Lord and thy redeemer the holy one of Israel.
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,
Behold, I wil make thee a roller, and a newe threshing instrument hauing teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountaines, and bring them to pouder, and shalt make the hilles as chaffe.
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.
Thou shalt fanne them, and the winde shall carie them away, and the whirlewinde shall scatter them: and thou shalt reioyce in the Lord, and shalt glory in the holy one of Israel.
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.
When the poore and the needy seeke water, and there is none (their tongue faileth for thirst: I the Lord will heare them: I the God of Israel will not forsake them)
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.
I will open riuers in the toppes of the hils, and fountaines in the middes of the valleis: I will make the wildernesse as a poole of water, and the waste land as springs of water.
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:
I will set in the wildernesse the cedar, the shittah tree, and the mirre tree, and the pine tree, and I will set in the wildernesse the firre tree, the elme and the boxe tree together.
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.
Therefore let them see and knowe, and let them consider and vnderstande together that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the holy one of Israel hath created it.
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.
Stand to your cause, saith the Lord: bring forth your strong reasons, saith ye King of Iaakob.
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.
Let them bring foorth, and let them tell vs what shall come: let them shew the former things what they be, that wee may consider them, and knowe the latter ende of them: either declare vs things for to come.
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.
Shewe the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods: yea, doe good or doe euill, that we may declare it, and beholde it together.
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.
Beholde, ye are of no value, and your making is of naught: man hath chosen an abomination by them.
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.
I haue raised vp from the North, and he shall come: from the East sunne shall he cal vpon my Name, and shall come vpon princes as vpon clay, and as the potter treadeth myre vnder the foote.
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.
Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may knowe? or before time, that we may say, He is righteous? Surely there is none that sheweth: surely there is none that declareth: surely there is none that heareth your wordes.
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.
I am the first, that saieth to Zion, Beholde, beholde them: and I will giue to Ierusalem one that shall bring good tidings.
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.
But when I behelde, there was none, and when I inquired of them, there was no counsellor, and when I demaunded of them, they answered not a woorde.
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.
Beholde, they are all vanitie: their worke is of nothing, their images are wind and confusion.
