Isaia 50
1 KE ninau mai nei o Iehova penei, Auhea ka palapala hoohemo na ko oukou makuwahine? Ka mea a'u i hoohemo ai? Ua kuai lilo aku au ia oukou no wai o ka poe a'u i aie ai? Aia hoi, ua kuai lilo aku oukou ia oukou iho no ko oukou hewa, A no ko oukou hala, ua hoohemoia ko oukou makuwahine.
Adonai says, “Where is the bill of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away? or to which of my creditors have I sold you? Behold, you were sold for your depravities (moral evils), and your mother was put away for your rebellious breaches of relationships.
2 Ia'u i hele mai ai, heaha ka mea i kanaka ole ai? A ia'u i hea aku ai, aohe mea nana i o mai? Ua hoopokole loa ia anei ko'u lima, i ole au e hoola aku? Aole anei o'u mana e hoopakele ai? Aia hoi, i kuu papa ana, hoomaloo no wau i ke kai, A hoolilo no wau i na muliwai, i waonahele; Pilau mai la ko lakou ia, no ka mea, aohe wai, e make hoi, no ka makewai.
Why, when I came, was there no one? when I called, why was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can’t redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
3 Hoaahu no au i na lani i ka pouli, A kau aku au i ke kapa makena, i uhi no lakou.
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.”
4 Ua haawi mai o Iehova ka Haku i ke alelo o ka poe akamai na'u, I ike au i ka hooikaika aku i ka mea luhi me ka olelo, Hoala mai no oia i kela kakahiaka i keia kakahiaka, Hoala mai no oia i ko'u pepeiao, e lohe, e like me ka mea i aoia.
'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh] has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to sh'ma ·hear obey· as those who are taught.
5 Ua hoohakahaka o Iehova, ka Haku, i ko'u pepeiao, Aole hoi au i kipi aku, aole au i hoi hope.
'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh] has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious. I have not turned back.
6 Haawi no au i ko'u kua i ka poe hahau, A me ko'u mau papalina i ka poe i uhuki lauoho: Aole au i huna i ko'u maka, mai ka hilahila, a me ke kuha ana.
I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I didn’t hide my face from insult and spitting.
7 Na Iehova, ka Haku e kokua mai ia'u, Nolaila, aole au e hoopalaimaka; Nolaila hoi au i kau ai i ko'u maka, me he pohaku paea la, A ua ike no au, aole au e hilahila ana.
For 'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh] will help me. Therefore I have not been confounded. Therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed.
8 Ua kokoke mai no ka mea nana au e hoapono; Owai hoi ka mea hakaka me au? E ku pu aku maua: Owai ko'u hoapaio? E hookokoke mai oia ia'u.
He who declares me righteous me is near. Who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together. Who is my mishpat · adversary·? Let him come near to me.
9 Aia hoi e kokua mai no o Iehova ka Haku ia'u; Owai hoi ka mea nana e hoahewa mai ia'u? Aia hoi, e lilo no lakou a pau i mea kahiko, me he lole la, E ai no ka mu ia lakou.
Behold, 'Adonay Adonai [Lord Yahweh] will help me! Who is he who will condemn me as guilty? Behold, they will all grow old like a garment. The moths will eat them up.
10 Owai la ka mea iwaena o oukou i makau aku ia Iehova, E hoolohe ana hoi i ka leo o kana kauwa, Ka mea e hele ana ma ka pouli, aole ona malamalama? E hilinai aku oia ma ka inoa o Iehova, A e hoomaha hoi ma kona Akua.
Who among you fears Adonai, and sh'ma ·hears obeys· the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in Adonai’s name, and rely on his God.
11 Aia hoi, o oukou a pau, ka poe hoa i ke ahi, Ka poe i kakoo ia oukou iho i na lamaku; E hele oukou ma ka malamalama o ko oukou ahi, A me na lamaku a oukou i kuni ai. E loaa no keia ia oukou ma kuu lima, E moe ana no oukou ilalo iloko o ka eha.
Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who adorn yourselves with torches around yourselves; walk in the flame of your fire, and among the torches that you have kindled. You will have this from my hand: You will lie down in sorrow.
