< Isaia 49 >

1 E HALIU mai oukou ia'u, e na aina e, E hoolohe hoi oukou, e na lahuikanaka, ma kahi mamao aku; Hea mai o Iehova ia'u mai ka opu mai, Mai ka opu mai hoi o ko'u makuwahine, ua hoike oia i ko'u inoa.
Hearken to me, ye islands; and attend, ye Gentiles; after a long time it shall come to pass, saith the Lord: from my mother's womb he has called my name:
2 Ua hana oia i ko'u waha a like me ka pahikaua oi, Ua huna mai oia ia'u ma ke aka o kona lima, Ua hana mai oia ia'u, a like me ka pua i anaiia, Ua huna mai oia ia'u iloko o kona aapua,
and he has made my mouth as a sharp sword, and he has hid me under the shadow of his hand; he has made me as a choice shaft, and he has hid me in his quiver;
3 Ua olelo mai oia ia'u, O oe no ka'u kauwa, O Iseraela hoi oe, ka mea a'u e hoonaniia'i.
and said to me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, and in thee I will be glorified.
4 Alaila, i iho la au, Ua hooikaika makehewa au, No ka ole, a no ka lapuwale au i hoopau ai i ko'u ikaika; Me Iehova nae ko'u aponoia. Me ko'u Akua hoi ka'u hana ana.
Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have given my strength for vanity and for nothing: therefore is my judgment with the Lord, and my labour before my God.
5 Ano ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, Ka mea i hana mai ia'u i kauwa nana, mai ka opu mai, I mea hoi e hoihoi mai i ka Iakoba ia ia, Ina e hoakoakoa ole ia ka Iseraela, E nani io no nae au ma na maka o Iehova, O ko'u Akua hoi oia ko'u ikaika.
And now, thus saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his own servant, to gather Jacob to him and Israel. I shall be gathered and glorified before the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.
6 I mai la ia, He mea uuku ia e lilo oe i kauwa na'u, E hooku mai i na ohana o ka Iakoba, A e hoihoi i ka poe i malamaia o ka Iseraela; E haawi no hoi au ia oe i malamalama no ko na aina e, I lilo oe i mea hoola aku no'u, ma na kukulu o ka honua,
And he said to me, [It is] a great thing for thee to be called my servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob, and to recover the dispersion of Israel: behold, I have given thee for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end of the earth.
7 Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, Ka Hoolapanai o ka Iseraela, kona mea Hemolele hoi, I ka mea i hoowahawahaia e na kanaka, I ka mea a ka lahuikanaka i hoopailua ai, I ke kauwa hoi na ka poe e noho alii ana, E ike aku na'lii a e ku iluna, E kulou aku no hoi na luna, No Iehova, ka mea oiaio, ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela, Nana no e makemake aku ia oe.
Thus saith the Lord that delivered thee, the God of Israel, Sanctify him that despises his life, him that is abhorred by the nations that are the servants of princes: kings shall behold him, and princes shall arise, and shall worship him, for the Lord's sake: for the Holy One of Israel is faithful, and I have chosen thee.
8 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, I ka manawa aloha, ua hoolohe aku au ia oe, A i ka la hoola, ua kokua aku no au ia oe; A na'u hoi e malama aku ia oe, A e haawi no hoi ia oe i berita no na kanaka, I mea e paa ai ka aina, e hooili aku no hoi i na hooilina neoneo;
Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I succored thee: and I have formed thee, and given thee for a covenant of the nations, to establish the earth, and to cause to inherit the desert heritages:
9 I olelo no hoi oe i ka poe i paa, E hele iwaho, A i ka poe ma ka pouli, E hoike ia oukou iho. E ai no lakou ma na alanui, A ma na puu a pau ka lakou ai.
saying to them that are in bonds, Go forth; and [bidding] them that are in darkness shew themselves. They shall be fed in all the ways, and in all the paths [shall be] their pasture.
10 Aole lakou e pololi, aole e makewai; Aole e hahau mai ka wela, a me ka la ia lakou; No ka mea, o ka mea aloha ia lakou, nana lakou e alakai, E alakai aku no oia ia lakou i na waipuna.
They shall not hunger, neither shall they thirst; neither shall the heat nor the sun smite them; but he that has mercy on them shall comfort [them], and by fountains of waters shall he lead them.
11 E hoolilo ana no au i ko'u mau kuahiwi a pau, i alanui, A e hookiekieia hoi ko'u mau kuamoo.
And I will make every mountain a way, and every path a pasture to them.
12 Aia hoi, e hele mai no keia poe, ma kahi loihi mai; Aia hoi, o keia poe, mai ke kukulu akau, a mai ke komohana mai; A o keia poe hoi, mai ka aina o Sinima mai.
Behold, these shall come from far: [and] these from the north and the west, and others from the land of the Persians.
13 E oli oukou, e na lani, e hauoli hoi, e ka honua; E hookani i ke oli, e na mauna; No ka mea, ua hoomaha mai o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, A e aloha mai no hoi ia i kona poe i hoopilikiaia.
Rejoice, ye heavens; and let the earth be glad: let the mountains break forth [with] joy; for the Lard has had mercy on his people, and has comforted the lowly ones of his people.
14 Aka, ua olelo mai o Ziona, Ua haalele o Iehova ia'u, Ua hoopoina hoi ko'u Haku ia'u.
But Sion said, The Lord has forsaken me, and, The Lord has forgotten me.
15 E hiki anei i ka wahine ke hoopoina i kana keiki aiwaiu, I ole ia e aloha aku i ke keiki a kona opu? Oia, e hiki no ia lakou ke hoopoina. Aka, aole au e hoopoina ia oe.
Will a woman forget her child, so as not to have compassion upon the offspring of her womb? but if a woman should even forget these, yet I will not forget thee, saith the Lord.
16 Aia hoi, ua kahakaha au ia oe ma na poho lima o'u; Ua mau loa no kou mau papohaku ma ko'u alo.
Behold, I have painted thy walls on my hands, and thou art continually before me.
17 E hiki wawe no kau mau keiki; O ka poe nana oe i pepehi, A me ka poe i hooneoneo ia oe, e puka aku no lakou mawaho ou.
And thou shalt soon be built by those by whom thou were destroyed, and they that made thee desolate shall go forth of thee.
18 E alawa ae oe i kou mau maka mao, a mao, e nana hoi; Akoakoa mai lakou a pau, a hele mai iou la. Me au e ola nei, wahi a Iehova, E aahu io no oe ia lakou a pau me he kahiko la, A e kakoo hoi ia lakou, e like me ka wahine mare.
Lift up thine eyes round about, and look on them all; behold, they are gathered together, and are come to thee. [As] I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt clothe thyself with them all as with an ornament, and put them on as a bride her attire.
19 No ka mea, o kou mau wahi mehameha, a neoneo, A me ka aina o kou luku ana, E pilikia ana no ia, no ka nui o ka poe e noho ana; A e loihi lilo aku no hoi ka poe i ale ia oe.
For thy desert and marred and ruined [places] shall now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that devoured thee shall be removed far from thee.
20 O na keiki o kou pa ana, e olelo no lakou ma kou mau pepeiao, Ua pilikia au i keia wahi, E haawi mai ia'u i wahi e noho ai au.
For thy sons whom thou hast lost shall say in thine ears, The place [is too] narrow for me: make room for me that I may dwell.
21 Alaila, e olelo iho no oe ma kou naau, Nawai i hoohanau mai i keia poe na'u? Nele au i ka'u mau keiki, a mehameha, He pio no. e kuewa aku ana; Nawai i hoonui mai i keia poe? Aia hoi, ua waiho wale ia au, mahea hoi lakou nei?
And thou shalt say in thine heart, Who has begotten me these? whereas I [was] childless, and a widow; but who has brought up these for me? and I was left alone; but whence came these to me?
22 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ka Haku penei, Aia hoi, e hapai no wau i ko'u lima no ko na aina e, A e kau no wau i ko'u hae no na lahuikanaka; A e lawe mai no lakou i kau poe keikikane ma ka poli, A e kaikaiia kau mau kaikamahine, ma na poohiwi.
Thus saith the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lift up mine hand to the nations, and I will lift up my signal to the islands: and they shall bring thy sons in [their] bosom, and shall bear thy daughters on [their] shoulders.
23 A e lilo na'lii i poe makuakane hanai nou, A o na wahine alii a lakou, i poe makuwahine hanai nou; A e kulou ilalo i ka honua ko lakou maka imua ou, A e palu iho lakou i ka lepo o kou mau wawae; A e ike auanei oe, owau no Iehova; No ka mea, o ka poe e kali ia'u, aole lakou e hilahila.
And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their princesses thy nurses, they shall bow down to thee on the face of the earth, and shall lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and they that wait on me shall not be ashamed.
24 E kailiia'ku anei ka waiwai pio, mai ka poe ikaika aku? E hoopakeleia'nei ke pio i lawe pono ia?
Will any one take spoils from a giant? and if one should take [a man] captive unjustly, shall he be delivered?
25 Aka, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E kailiia'ku no na pio o ka poe ikaika, A e hoopakeleia ka waiwai i pio, mai ka poe hooweliweli mai; No ka mea, e paio aku au i ka mea i paio pu me oe, A e hoola no wau i kau poe keiki.
For thus saith the Lord, If one should take a giant captive, he shall take spoils, and he who takes [them] from a mighty [man] shall be delivered: for I will plead thy cause, and I will deliver thy children.
26 O ka poe hooluhi aku ia oe, E hanai aku au ia lakou i ko lakou io iho, A e ona auanei lakou i ko lakou koko iho, e like me ka waina hou; A e ike no na mea io a pau, owau no Iehova, O kou Ola, a me kou Hoolapanai, Ka Mea mana hoi o ka Iakoba.
And they that afflicted thee shall eat their own flesh; and they shall drink their own blood as new wine, and shall be drunken: and all flesh shall perceive that I am the Lord that delivers thee, and that upholds the strength of Jacob.
