Isaia 46
1 KE kukuli nei o Bela, ke kulou nei o Nebo, Aia hoi ko lakou akuakii maluna o na holoholona a me na mea laka; Ua kaumaha loa ko oukou mea lawe, He ukana kaumaha i ka mea i maloeloe.
Bel bows down. Nebo stoops. Their idols are carried by animals, and on the livestock. The things that you carried around are heavy loads, a burden for the weary.
2 Kulou no lakou, a kukuli pu no hoi ilalo; Aole hiki ia lakou ke hookuu i ka ukana, Ua hele no lakou iloko o ke pio ana.
They stoop and they bow down together. They could not deliver the burden, but they have gone into captivity.
3 E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e ko ka hale o Iakoba, A me ke koena a pau o ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, Ka poe i laweia e au mai ka opu mai, A kaikaiia hoi mai ka hanau ana mai.
“Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been carried from their birth, that have been carried from the womb.
4 A hiki i kou wa elemakule, owau no ia, A i ka wa e poohina'i, na'u no oe e lawe. Ua hana no owau, a na'a hoi e halihali; Na'u no e lawe, a na'u hoi e hoopakele.
Even to old age I am he, and even to grey hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
5 Me wai oukou e hoohalike ai ia'u, a me ka hoopili ia'u? Me wai hoi maua e like ai?
“To whom will you compare me, and consider my equal, and compare me, as if we were the same?
6 Ninini aku lakou i ke gula mawaho o ka eke, A kaupaona hoi i ke kala ma ka mea kaulike, A hoolimalima hoi i ka mea hana gula, A hana iho la oia ia mea, i akuakii; Kulou no lakou, a moe hoomana aku la,
Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down— yes, they worship.
7 Kaikai no lakou ia ia ma ka poohiwi, Lawe lakou ia ia, a hooku ia ia ma kona wahi, a ku no ia; Aole ia e neenee, mai kona wahi ae: Oia, kahea aku kekahi ia ia, aole nae ia e ekemu mai, Aole hoi e hoopakele ia ia i kona popilikia.
They bear it on their shoulder. They carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands there. It cannot move from its place. Yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer. It cannot save him out of his trouble.
8 E hoomanao oukou i keia, a e hookanaka hoi; E hooeueu i ka manao, e ka poe hana hewa.
“Remember this, and show yourselves men. Bring it to mind again, you transgressors.
9 E hoomanao i na mea kahiko o kela wa mamua; No ka mea, owau no ke Akua, aohe mea e ae, Owau no ke Akua, aohe mea like me au,
Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other. I am God, and there is none like me.
10 E hai ana i ka hope, mai kinohi mai, E hai ana hoi, mai kahiko loa mai, i na mea i hana ole ia, Me ka olelo iho, E kupaa ana ko'u manao, A e hana no hoi au i ko'u makemake a pau.
I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.
11 Hea aku no wau i ka manu huhu, mai ka hikina mai, I ke kanaka hoi a'u i manao ai, mai ka aina mamao aku; Oia, ua olelo no wau, a na'u hoi ia e hana; Ua manao no wau, a e hana io no hoi au ia.
I call a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yes, I have spoken. I will also bring it to pass. I have planned. I will also do it.
12 E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e na mea i paakiki ka naau, Ka poe mamao loa aku i ka pono.
Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness!
13 Ke lawe aku nei au i ko'u pono a kokoke, Aole ia e mamao aku, aole hoi e hookaulua iho ko'u hoola: E haawi aku no au i ke ola ma Ziona, me ka Iseraela, ko'u mea e nani ai.
I bring my righteousness near. It is not far off, and my salvation will not wait. I will grant salvation to Zion, my glory to Israel.
