Isaia 48
1 E HOOLOHE oukou i keia, e ko ka hale o Iakoba, Ka poe i kapaia ma ka inoa o ka Iseraela, Ka poe hoi i laha mai, mai na wai o Iuda mai; Ka poe hoohiki ma ka inoa o Iehova, Ka poe hookaulana i ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aole nae me ka oiaio, aole me ka pono.
Hear ye these things, O house of Jacob, you that are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Juda, you who swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in justice.
2 No ka mea, ua kapaia lakou mamulio ke kulanakauhale hoano, A hilinai lakou ma ke Akua o ka Iseraela, O Iehova o na kaua kona inoa.
For they are called of the holy city, and are established upon the God of Israel: the Lord of hosts is his name.
3 Ua hoike aku no wau i na mea kahiko, mai kinohi mai, Mai ko'u waha i puka aku ai lakou; A na'u i hoike aku ia mau mea, Hana hoohikilele au, a hiki io mai no lakou.
The former things of old I have declared, and they went forth out of my mouth, and I have made them to be heard: I did them suddenly and they came to pass.
4 No ka mea, ike mua no au, ua paakiki oe, A o kou a-i hoi, he olona hao, A o kou lae hoi, he keleawe.
For I knew that thou art stubborn, and thy neck is as an iron sinew, and thy forehead as brass.
5 Nolaila, hai aku au ia oe i kela mea i kinohi; Mamau o kona hiki ana mai, hoikeike aku au ia oe, O olelo auanei oe, Na kuu kii i hana i keia mau mea, Na kuu kiikalaiia, a na kuu kiihooheheeia lakou i kauoha aku.
I foretold thee of old, before they came to pass I told thee, lest thou shouldst say: My idols have done these things, and my graven and molten things have commanded them.
6 Ua lohe no oe, e nana hoi oe ia mea a pau; Aole anei oukou e hai aku? I keia manawa, ua hai aku au ia oe i mea hou, I na mea hoi i hunaia, na mea au i ike ole ai
See now all the things which thou hast heard: but have you declared them? I have shewn thee new things from that time, and things are kept which thou knowest not:
7 I keia manawa lakou i hanaia'i, aole mai kela wa mai, I ka la hoi au i lohe ole ai ia mau mea, O olelo auanei oe, Aia, ike no wau ia.
They are created now, and not of old: and before the day, when thou heardest them not, lest thou shouldst say: Behold I knew them.
8 Oia, aole oe i lohe, aole hoi oe i ike; Oia, mai ia manawa mai, aole i hoohakahakaia kou pepeiao; No ka mea, ike mua no wau e hana aua oe me ka hoopunipuni nui loa, A mai ka opu mai, ua kapaia hoi oe o Kipi.
Thou hast neither heard, nor known, neither was thy ear opened of old. For I know that transgressing thou wilt transgress, and I have called thee a transgressor from the womb.
9 No ko'u inoa no wau e hoopanee aku ai i ko'u iuaina, A no kuu nani, e hoomanawanui au ia oe, I mea e anai ole aku ai au ia oe.
For my name’s sake I will remove my wrath far off: and for my praise I will bridle thee, lest thou shouldst perish.
10 Aia hoi, ua hoohehee hoomaikai aku au ia oe, aole nae me ke kala; Ua hoao aku au ia oe ma ka umu o ka popilikia.
Behold I have refined thee, but not as silver, I have chosen thee in the furnace of poverty.
11 No'u iho, no'u iho no wau e hana aku ai ia; No ka mea, e hoohaumiaia anei ko'u? Aole au e haawi i ko'u nani ia hai.
For my own sake, for my own sake will I do it, that I may not be blasphemed: and I will not give my glory to another.
12 E hoolohe mai oe ia'u, e ka Iakoba, a me ka Iseraela hoi, ko'u mea i heaia; Owau no ia, owau ka mua, owau hoi ka hope.
Hearken to me, O Jacob, and thou Israel whom I call: I am he, I am the first, and I am the last.
13 Oia, na ko'u lima no i hookumu i ka honua, Na kuu lima akau no i hoopalahalaha i na lani, Hea aku no au ia lakou, a ku pu mai la no lakou.
My hand also hath founded the earth, and my right hand hath measured the heavens: I shall call them, and they shall stand together.
14 E akoakoa oukou a pau loa, a e hoolohe: Owai ka mea o lakou i hai i keia mau mea? O ka mea a Iehova i aloha aku ai, Nana no e hana kona makemake maluna o Babulona, A e kau no kona lima maluna o ko Kaledea.
Assemble yourselves together, all you, and hear: who among them hath declared these things? the Lord hath loved him, he will do his pleasure in Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
15 Owau hoi, ua olelo no owau, Oia, ua hea aku no au ia ia; A na'u hoi ia i lawe mai nei, A e hoopomaikai oia i kona hele ana.
I, even I have spoken and called him: I have brought him, and his way is made prosperous.
16 E hookokoke mai oukou ia'u, e hoolohe i keia; Mai kinohi mai, aole au i olelo malu, Mai kona wa i hanaia'i, malaila no au; Ano hoi, ua hoouna mai ia'u o Iehova, ka Haku, a me kona Uhane.
Come ye near unto me, and hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning: from the time before it was done, I was there, and now the Lord God hath sent me, and his spirit.
17 Penei hoi ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, a kou Hoolapanai, Ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela; Owau no Iehova, kou Akua, Ka mea ao aku ia oe i ka mea e pono ai, Ka mea alakai ia oe ma kahi e pono ai oe ke hele.
Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord thy God that teach thee profitable things, that govern thee in the way that thou walkest.
18 Ina i hoolohe mai oe i ka'u mau kauoha, Ina ua like kou malu me ka muliwai, A o kou pono hoi, me na aui o ka moana:
O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments: thy peace had been as a river, and thy justice as the waves of the sea,
19 Ina ua like kau poe mamo me ke one, A me na keiki o kou opu me kona iliili; Aole hoi e hookiia kona inoa, aole hoi e hookaia'ku imua o'u.
And thy seed had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof: his name should not have perished, nor have been destroyed from before my face.
20 O haele oukou mawaho o Babulona, E holo oukou, mai ko Kaledea aku, Me ka leo o ke oli, e hai aku, e hookaulana i keia, E hoolaha aku a i na kukulu o ka honua; E i aku, Ua hoolapanai o Iehova i ka Iakoba, kana kauwa.
Come forth out of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, declare it with the voice of joy: make this to be heard, and speak it out even to the ends of the earth. Say: The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
21 Ia lakou i hele ai ma na wahi maloo, aole lakou i make wai: Hookahe oia i ka wai, mai loko mai o ka pohaku no lakou; Wawahi no oia i ka pohaku, a huai mai la na wai.
They thirsted not in the desert, when he led them out: he brought forth water out of the rock for them, and he clove the rock, and the waters gushed out.
22 Aole malu no ka poe hewa, wahi a Iehova.
There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord.
