Isaia 42
1 A IA hoi ka'u kauwa, ka mea a'u i malama'i, O kuu mea i waeia, a ua olioli ko'u naau ia ia; E haawi aku no au i ko'u Uhane maluna ona; A nana no e hoolaha ae ka pono no na lahuikanaka.
Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 Aole ia e kahea, aole hoi e hoowalaau aku, Aole hana aku a loheia kona leo ma ke alanui.
He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad.
3 Aole ia e uhai i ka ohe pepe, Aole hoi ia e kinai i ka uiki e pipi ana; A hoolaha aku oia i ka pono oiaio.
The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 Aole ia e pio, aole hoi ia e uhaiia, A hookumu oia i ka pono ma ka honua nei: A e kakali no na mokupuni i kona kanawai.
He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law.
5 Ke i mai nei ke Akua, o Iehova, penei, Ka mea nana i hana na lani, a hohola ae la ia lakou; Ka mea i hoopalahalaha ae i ka honua, a me kona mau mea ulu; Ka mea haawi i ka hanu no na kanaka maluna ona, A me ke ea hoi i ka poe e hele ana maluna ona:
Thus saith the Lord God that created the heavens, and stretched them out: that established the earth, and the things that spring out of it: that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon.
6 Owau, o Iehova, ua hea aku au ia oe i mea e pono ai, A na'u no e hoopaa aku i kou lima, a e malama no hoi au ia oe, A e haawi no wau ia oe i berita no na kanaka, I malamalama hoi no ko na aina e;
I the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thee by the hand, and preserved thee. And I have given thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles:
7 E hookaakaa i na maka o ka poe makapo, E lawe mai hoi i ka poe pio, mailoko mai o kahi paa, A me ka poe e noho ana iloko o ka pouli, mailoko mai o ka halepaahao.
That thou mightest open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 Owau no Iehova, oia ko'u inoa; Aole au e haawi i ko'u nani ia hai, Aole hoi ko'u hanohano i na kiikalaiia.
I the Lord, this is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
9 Aia hoi, ua ko na mea i olelo kahiko ia, A ke hai aku nei au i na mea hou: Mamua o ko lakou hiki ana mai, ke hai aku nei au ia mau mea ia oukou.
The things that were first, behold they are come: and new things do I declare: before they spring forth, I will make you head them.
10 E oli aku ia Iehova i ke oli hou, I kona nani hoi mai ka welau mai o ka honua: Ka poe iho ilalo ma ka moana, a me kona mea i piha'i, O na mokupuni, a me ko lakou poe e noho ana.
Sing ye to the Lora a new song, his praise is from the ends of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and all that are therein: ye islands, and ye inhabitants of them.
11 E hookiekie no ka waonahele i kona leo, A me na kulanakauhale ona, O na kauhale kahi e noho ai o Kedara; E oli hoi ka poe e noho ana ma Sela, E hooho hoi ka poe ma ka piko o na kuahiwi.
Let the desert and the cities thereof be exalted: Cedar shall dwell in houses: ye inhabitants of Petra, give praise, they shall cry from the top of the mountains.
12 E haawi aku lakou i ka hanohano no Iehova, E hoolaha hoi i kona nani ma na aina e.
They shall give glory to the Lord, and shall declare his praise in the islands.
13 E puka aku no o Iehova iwaho, me he koa la, E hoa no oia i ka inaina, e like me ke kanaka kaua; E hea ikaika aku no ia, a e hooho hoi; E lanakila no oia maluna o kona poe enemi.
The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war shall he stir up zeal: he shall shout and cry: he shall prevail against his enemies.
14 Ua noho ekemu ole au, mai kahiko loa mai; Ua noho malie au, ua uumi au i ka olelo: Aka, ano, e kahea aku no wau, e like me ka wahine hanau keiki; E luku aku no au, e hoopau pu no hoi.
I have always held my peace, I have I kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once.
15 E anai aku au i na kuahiwi, a me na puu, A e hoomaloo aku no au i ko lakou launahele a pau; E hoolilo wau i ko lakou muliwai i wahi maloo, A e hoomaloo no hoi au i ko lakou loko.
I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and will make all their grass to wither: and I will turn rivers into islands, and will dry up the standing pools.
16 A e kai aku no au i ka poe makapo, ma ke ala a lakou i ike ole ai: E alakai no au ia lakou ma na kuamoo a lakou i ike ole ai; E hoolilo au i ka pouli i malamalama imua o lakou, A me na ala kekee i pololei. E hana no wau i keia mau mea no lakou, Aole hoi au e haalele ia lakou.
And I will lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken them.
17 E hoopalaimaka, a e hilahila loa hoi ka poe a pau i hilinai i na kiikalaiia, Ka poe i olelo i na kii i hooheheeia, O oukou no ko makou mau akua.
They are turned back: let them be greatly confounded, that trust in a graven thing, that say to a molten thing: You are our god.
18 E hoolohe mai oukou, e na kuli, E nana hoi oukou, e ka poe makapo, i ike oukou.
Hear, ye deaf, and, ye blind, behold that you may see.
19 Owai ka mea makapo, ke ole ka'u kauwa, A kuli hoi, e like me ko'u elele a'u i hoouna aku ai? Owai ka mea makapo, e like me ka mea haipule, Ka mea makapo hoi, e like me ke kauwa a Iehova?
Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, but he to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, but he that is sold? or who is blind, but the servant of the Lord?
20 Ua ike no oe i na mea he nui, aole nae oe i malama; Ua hakahaka na pepeiao, aole nae oia i lohe.
Thou that seest many things, wilt thou not observe them? thou that hast ears open, wilt thou not hear?
21 Ua lealea no o Iehova no kona pono iho, E hoohanohano no oia i kona kanawai, a e hoonani hoi oia ia mea.
And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and exalt it.
22 Aka, ua powaia keia poe kanaka, a ua haoia; Ua hoopaheleia lakou a pau maloko o na lua, Ua hunaia hoi maloko o na halepaahao; Ua lilo lakou i pio, aohe mea nana lakou e hoopakele; He mea i haoia, aohe mea i olelo mai, E hoihoi aku.
But this is a people that is robbed and wasted: they are all the snare of young men, and they are hid in the houses of prisons: they are made a prey, and there is none to deliver them: a spoil, and there is none that saith: Restore.
23 Owai ka mea o oukou e haliu mai i ka pepeiao i keia? A hoolohe, a malama hoi, no ka manawa mahope?
Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will attend and hearken for times to come?
24 Nawai i haawi ia Iakoba i pio, A i ka Iseraela hoi no ka poe powa? Aole anei na Iehova, ka mea a kakou i hana ino aku ai? No ka mea, aole lakou i hele i kona mau alanui, Aole lakou i hoolohe i kona kanawai.
Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to robbers? hath not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, and they have not hearkened to his law.
25 Nolaila ia i ninini aku ai maluna ona, i ka wela o kona inaina, A me ka ikaika o ke kaua; A ua hoa oia ia ia i ke ahi a puni, aole nae ia i ike; Wela no oia i ke ahi, aole i manao i kona naau.
And he hath poured out upon him the indignation of his fury, and a strong battle, and hath burnt him round about, and he knew not: and set him on fire, and he understood not.
