Isaia 43
1 A NO, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, ka mea nana oe i hana, e Iakoba, Ka mea nana oe i hookumu, e Iseraela; Mai makau, no ka mea, ua hoola au ia oe; Ua hea aku au ia oe ma ka inoa; no'u no oe.
And now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, and called thee by thy name: thou art mine.
2 Ia oe e hele mawaena o na wai, owau pu no me oe; A maloko hoi o na muliwai, aole oe e halanaia ia lakou; Ia oe e hele ae maloko o ke ahi, aole oe e wela; Aole hoi e ai aku ka lapalapa ahi ia oe.
When thou shalt pass through the waters, I will be with thee, and the rivers shall not cover thee: when thou shalt walk in the fire, thou shalt not be burnt, and the flames shall not burn in thee:
3 No ka mea, owau no Iehova kou Akua, Ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela, kou mea e ola'i; Ua haawi au ia Aigupita, i panai nou, Ia Aitiopa, a me Seba hoi, i uku panai nou;
For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I have given Egypt for thy atonement, Ethiopia and Saba for thee.
4 No ka mea, ua makamae oe ma ko'u mau maka, Ua hoomaikaiia hoi oe, a ua aloha aku au ia oe; Nolaila au e panai aku ai i na kanaka nou, A e lilo no na lahuikanaka i panai no kou ola.
Since thou becamest honourable in my eyes, thou art glorious: I have loved thee, and I will give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5 Mai makau oe, no ka mea, owau pu no me oe; Na'u no e lawe mai i kau poe mamo, mai ka hikina mai, A e hoakoakoa no au i kau, mai ke komohana mai.
Fear not, for I am with thee: I will. bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west.
6 E olelo aku no au i ke kukulu akau, E haawi mai; A i ke kukulu hema hoi. Mai aua oe; E kai mai i ka'u mau keiki kane, mai kahi loihi mai, A me ka'u mau kaikamahine, mai na kihi o ka honua;
I will say to the north: Give up: and to the south: Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth.
7 O na mea hoi a pau i heaia ma ko'u inoa, A no ko'u nani i hana aku ai au ia lakou; Na'u no i hookumu, na'u hoi i hana.
And every one that calleth upon my name, I have created him for my glory, I have formed him, and made him.
8 E kai mai i ka poe kanaka makapo, he mau maka no nae ko lakou, A me na mea kuli hoi, he mau pepeiao no nae ko lakou.
Bring forth the people that are blind, and have eyes: that are deaf, and have ears.
9 E hoakoakoaia mai ko na aina a pau, E hoiliiliia mai hoi na lahuikanaka a pau; Owai ka mea o lakou e hiki ia ia ke hai i keia, A hoiko mai hoi i na mea kahiko? E kai mai lakou i ko lakou poe ike maka, i hoaponoia'i lakou: A o lakou kekahi e hoolohe mai, a olelo, Ua oiaio.
All the nations are assembled together, and the tribes are gathered: who among you can declare this, and shall make us hear the former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, let them be justified, and hear, and say: It is truth.
10 O oukou no ko'u poe ike maka, wahi a Iehova, O ka'u kauwa hoi ka mea a'u i wae ai, I ike mai oukou, a manaoio mai ia'u; A hoomaopopo hoi, owau no Ia, Mamua o'u, aohe akua i hanaia, Aole hoi auanei mahope o'u.
You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know, and believe me, and understand that I myself am. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there shall be none.
11 Owau, owau no o Iehova, Aole hoi mea hoola e ae, owau wale no.
I am, I am the Lord: and there is no saviour besides me.
12 Ua olelo aku no au, ua hoola aku hoi, A ua hoikeike aku hoi, i ka wa aole akua malihini iwaena o oukou: O oukou no ko'u poe ike maka, wahi a Iehova, Owau no ke Akua,
I have declared, and have saved. I have made it heard, and there was no strange one among you. You are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and I am God.
13 Mamua aku o ka manawa, owau no Ia; Aohe mea hiki ke hoopakele, mai ko'u lima aku; Hana no au, a owai la ka mea hiki ke hooki mai?
And from the beginning I am the same, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall turn it away?
14 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke oukou Hoolapanai, Ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela, penei; Ua hoouna aku au i Babulona no oukou, A ua kiola au ilalo i ko lakou poe auhee a pau, A me ko Kaledea, ka poe e olioli ana i na moku.
Thus saith the Lord your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their bars, and the Chaldeans glorying in their ships.
15 Owau no Iehova, ko oukou Mea Hemolele, Ka mea nana i hana ka Iseraela, o ko oukou Alii.
I am the Lord your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16 Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova, Ka mea nana i hana i alanui ma ke kai, I kuamoo hoi maloko o na wai nui;
Thus saith the Lord, who made a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters.
17 Ka mea i hoopuka mai i ke kaakaua, a me ka lio, I ka poe koa, a me ka mea ikaika; Moe pu no lakou ilalo, aole ala hou, Ua kinaiia lakou, ua pio hoi, e like me ka uiki.
Who brought forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the strong: they lay down to sleep together, and they shall not rise again: they are broken as flax, and are extinct.
18 Mai hoomanao oukou i na mea mamua, Mai manao hoi i na mea kahiko.
Remember not former things, and look not on things of old.
19 Aia hoi, e hana ana au i mea hou; I keia manawa no ia e puka mai ai; Aole anei oukou e ike mai? He oiaio no, e hana no wau i alanui ma ka waonahele, A i kahawai hoi ma ka waoakua.
Behold I do new things, and now they shall spring forth, verily you shall know them: I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 E hoomaikai mai no ia'u ka holoholona o ke kula, O na iliohae a me na keiki iana; No ka mea, ua haawi au i ka wai ma ka waonahele, A me na muliwai ma ka waoakua, I mea e hoohainu ai i ko'u poe kanaka, i ko'u poe hoi i waeia.
The beast of the field shall glorify me, the dragons and the ostriches: because I have given waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, to my chosen.
21 I keia poe kanaka no a'u i hana'i no'u iho; Na lakou no e hai aku i ko'u nani.
This people have I formed for myself, they shall shew forth my praise.
22 Aka, aole oe i hea mai ia'u, e ka Iakoba, Ua uluhua oe ia'u, e ka Iseraela.
But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob, neither hast thou laboured about me, O Israel.
23 Aole oe i lawe mai ia'u i ka hipa o kou mau mohaikuni; Aole hoi oe i hoomaikai mai ia'u i kau mau mohai. Aole au i hookaumaha aku ia oe i ka alana, Aole hoi au i hooluhiluhi aku ia oe ma na mea ala.
Thou hast not offered me the ram of thy holocaust, nor hast thou glorified me with thy victims: I have not caused thee to serve with oblations, nor wearied thee with incense.
24 Aole oe i kuai i oheala na'u, i ke kala, Aole hoi oe i hoomaona mai ia'u i ke kelekele o kau mau mohai; Aka, ua hookaumaha mai oe ia'u, i kou mau hewa, Ua hooluhiluhi mai oe ia'u i kou mau hala,
Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy victims. But thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thy iniquities.
25 Owau, owau no ka mea nana e holoi i kou mau hewa, no'u iho; Aole hoi au e hoomanao i kou mau hala.
I am, I am he that blot out thy iniquities for my own sake, and I will not remember thy sins.
26 E hooeueu mai oe i ko'u manao; E hooponopono pu kakou; E hai mai hoi oe, i hoaponoia mai ai oe.
Put me in remembrance, and let us plead together: tell if thou hast any thing to justify thyself.
27 Hewa no kou makuakane makamua, A ua kipi mai no hoi ia'u kau mau luna.
Thy brat father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28 A e hoohaumia aku au i na luna hoano, A e haawi aku au i ka Iakoba no ka poino, A me ka Iseraela no ka hoinoia.
And I have profaned the holy princes, I have given Jacob to slaughter, and Israel to reproach.
