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 this is what Yahweh says, he who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: “Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name, you are 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 you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire you will not be burned, and the flames will not destroy you.
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 Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
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 you are precious and special in my sight, I love you; therefore I will give people in exchange for you, and other peoples in exchange for your 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.
Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you 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, 'Hand them over;' and to the south, 'Do not hold any back;' Bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the remote regions 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.
everyone who is called by my name, whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.
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 out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes, and the deaf, even though they 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 gather together, and the peoples assemble. Who among them could have declared this and announced to us earlier events? Let them bring their witnesses to prove themselves right, let them listen and affirm, 'It is true.'
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,” declares Yahweh, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe in me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no god formed, and there will be none after me.
11 Owau, owau no o Iehova, Aole hoi mea hoola e ae, owau wale no.
I, I am Yahweh, and there is no savior but 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, saved, and proclaimed, and there is no other god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares Yahweh, “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?
From this day on I am he, and no one can rescue anyone from my hand. I act, and who can turn it back?”
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.
This is what Yahweh says, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake I send to Babylon and lead them all down as fugitives, turning the Babylonians' expressions of joy into songs of lamentation.
15 Owau no Iehova, ko oukou Mea Hemolele, Ka mea nana i hana ka Iseraela, o ko oukou Alii.
I am Yahweh, 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;
This is what Yahweh says (who opened a way through 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 led out the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty host. They fell down together; they will never rise again; they are extinguished, quenched like a burning wick.)
18 Mai hoomanao oukou i na mea mamua, Mai manao hoi i na mea kahiko.
“Do not think about these former things, nor consider the things of long ago.
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.
Look, I am about to do a new thing; now it begins to happen; do you not perceive it? I will make a road in the desert and streams of water in the wilderness.
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 wild animals of the field will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give water in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, for my chosen people to drink,
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 whom I formed for myself, that they might recount my praises.
22 Aka, aole oe i hea mai ia'u, e ka Iakoba, Ua uluhua oe ia'u, e ka Iseraela.
But you have not called on me, Jacob; you have become tired of me, 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.
You have not brought me any of your sheep as burnt offerings, or honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with grain offerings, nor wearied you with demands for 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,
You have bought me no sweet-smelling cane with money, neither have you poured out to me the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins, you have wearied me with your evil deeds.
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, yes, I, am he who blots out your offenses for my own sake; and I will not call to mind your sins any longer.
26 E hooeueu mai oe i ko'u manao; E hooponopono pu kakou; E hai mai hoi oe, i hoaponoia mai ai oe.
Remind me of what happened. Let us debate together; present your cause, that you may be proved innocent.
27 Hewa no kou makuakane makamua, A ua kipi mai no hoi ia'u kau mau luna.
Your first father sinned, and your leaders 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 will defile the holy officials; I will hand Jacob over to complete destruction, and Israel to abusive humiliation.”
