< 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.
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, I have 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 passest through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon 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 as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba 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 art precious in My sight, and honourable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men for thee, and peoples 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 far, and My daughters from the end 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.
Every one that is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory, I have formed him, yea, I have 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.
The blind people that have eyes shall be brought forth, and the deaf that 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 gathered together, and the peoples are assembled; who among them can declare this, and announce to us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; and let them 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.
Ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He; before Me there was no God formed, neither shall any be after Me.
11 Owau, owau no o Iehova, Aole hoi mea hoola e ae, owau wale no.
I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no saviour.
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 I have saved, and I have announced, and there was no strange god among you; therefore ye 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?
Yea, since the day was I am He, and there is none that can deliver out of My hand; I will work, and who can reverse it?
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 have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their shouting.
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 maketh 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 bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power — they lie down together, they shall not rise, they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick:
18 Mai hoomanao oukou i na mea mamua, Mai manao hoi i na mea kahiko.
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the 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 will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even 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 beasts of the field shall honour Me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, Mine elect;
21 I keia poe kanaka no a'u i hana'i no'u iho; Na lakou no e hai aku i ko'u nani.
The people which I formed for Myself, that they might tell of My praise.
22 Aka, aole oe i hea mai ia'u, e ka Iakoba, Ua uluhua oe ia'u, e ka Iseraela.
Yet thou hast not called upon Me, O Jacob, neither hast thou wearied thyself 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 brought Me the small cattle of thy burnt-offerings; neither hast thou honoured Me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with a meal-offering, nor wearied thee with frankincense.
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 satisfied Me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast burdened Me with thy sins, thou hast wearied Me with thine 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, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake; and thy sins I will not remember.
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, let us plead together; declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
27 Hewa no kou makuakane makamua, A ua kipi mai no hoi ia'u kau mau luna.
Thy first father sinned, and thine intercessors 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.
Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and I have given Jacob to condemnation, and Israel to reviling.
