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 said Jehovah, Thy Creator, O Jacob, and thy Fashioner, O Israel, Be not afraid, for I have redeemed thee, I have called on 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 into waters, I [am] with thee, And into floods, they do not overflow thee, When thou goest into fire, thou art not burnt, And a flame doth not burn against 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 — Jehovah thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour, I have appointed Egypt thine atonement, Cush and Seba in thy stead.
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 wast precious in Mine eyes, Thou wast honoured, and I have loved thee, And I appoint men in thy stead, And peoples instead of 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.
Be not afraid, for I [am] with thee, From the east I bring in thy seed, And from the west I gather thee.
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 am saying to the north, 'Give up,' And to the south, 'Restrain not.' Bring in My sons from afar, 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 who is called by My name, Even for My honour I have created him, 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.
He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who 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 have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declareth this, And former things causeth us to hear? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, '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, an affirmation of Jehovah, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that ye know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.
11 Owau, owau no o Iehova, Aole hoi mea hoola e ae, owau wale no.
I — I [am] Jehovah, And besides 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 — I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And ye [are] My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, 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?
Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who doth 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.
Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: 'For your sake I have sent to Babylon, And caused bars to descend — all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.
15 Owau no Iehova, ko oukou Mea Hemolele, Ka mea nana i hana ka Iseraela, o ko oukou Alii.
I [am] Jehovah, your Holy One, 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 said Jehovah, Who is giving in the sea a way, And in the strong waters a path.
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 is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: 'Together they lie down — they rise not, They have been extinguished, As flax they have been quenched.'
18 Mai hoomanao oukou i na mea mamua, Mai manao hoi i na mea kahiko.
Remember not former things, And ancient things consider not.
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.
Lo, I am doing a new thing, now it springeth up, Do ye not know it? Yea, I put in a wilderness a way, In a desolate place — floods.
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.
Honour me doth the beast of the field, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given in a wilderness waters, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people — 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 I have formed for Myself, My praise they recount.
22 Aka, aole oe i hea mai ia'u, e ka Iakoba, Ua uluhua oe ia'u, e ka Iseraela.
And Me thou hast not called, O Jacob, For thou hast been wearied of 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 in to Me, The lamb of thy burnt-offerings, And [with] thy sacrifices thou hast not honoured Me, I have not caused thee to serve with a present, 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 not bought for Me with money sweet cane, And [with] the fat of thy sacrifices hast not filled Me, Only — thou hast caused Me to serve 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 — I [am] He who is blotting out Thy transgressions for Mine own sake, And thy sins I do 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.
Cause me to remember — we are judged 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 interpreters 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 pollute princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
