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.
Bowed down hath Bel, stooping is Nebo, Their idols have been for the beast and for cattle, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to 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 have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And themselves into captivity have gone.
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.
Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are 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 to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, yea, I carry and 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 do ye liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
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,
— They are pouring out gold from a bag, And silver on the beam they weigh, They hire a refiner, and he maketh it a god, They fall down, yea, they bow themselves.
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 lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he standeth, from his place he moveth not, Yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not, From his adversity he saveth him not.
8 E hoomanao oukou i keia, a e hookanaka hoi; E hooeueu i ka manao, e ka poe hana hewa.
Remember this, and shew yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
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 former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, 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.
Declaring from the beginning the latter end, And from of old that which hath not been done, Saying, 'My counsel doth stand, And all My delight I do.'
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.
Calling from the east a ravenous bird, From a far land the man of My counsel, Yea, I have spoken, yea, I bring it in, I have formed [it], yea, I do it.
12 E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e na mea i paakiki ka naau, Ka poe mamao loa aku i ka pono.
Hearken unto Me, ye mighty in heart, 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 have brought near My righteousness, It is not far off, And My salvation — it doth not tarry, And I have given in Zion salvation, To Israel My glory!
