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.
Thus, saith Yahweh—Where then is the scroll of your mother’s divorce, whom I have put away? Or, which of my creditors, is it to whom I have sold you? Lo! for your iniquities, have ye been sold, And for your transgressions, hath your mother been put away.
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.
Wherefore, When I came in, was there no one? When I called, was there none to answer? Is mine own hand, really shortened, that it cannot redeem? Or is there not, in me, strength to deliver? Lo! by my rebuke, I dry up the sea I make rivers a desert, Their fish Stinketh, for want of water, Yea dieth, 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 gloom, And, of sackcloth, make I 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.
My Lord Yahweh, hath given unto me the tongue of the instructed, That I should know how to succour the fainting, with discourse, —He kept wakening—morning by morning. He kept wakening mine ear, to hearken as do the instructed;
5 Ua hoohakahaka o Iehova, ka Haku, i ko'u pepeiao, Aole hoi au i kipi aku, aole au i hoi hope.
My Lord, Yahweh, opened mine ear, And, I, was not rebellious, —Away, turned I not:
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.
My back, gave I to smiters, and My cheeks, to them who pulled out the beard, —My face, hid I not 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.
Because, My Lord, Yahweh, would help me, Therefore was I not deterred by insult, —Therefore did I set my face like flint, And I knew that I should not be put to shame.
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.
At hand, is one who can justify me. Who will contend with me? let, us stand forth together, —Who can accuse me? let him draw 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.
Lo! My Lord, Yahweh, will help me, Who is he that shall prove me lawless? Lo! they all, as a garment, shall fall to pieces, the moth shall consume them.
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, revereth Yahweh, Hearkening unto the voice of his Servant, —That hath walked in dark places And hath had no gleam of light? Let him trust in the name of Yahweh, And lean upon 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.
Lo! all ye that kindle a fire, That gird yourselves with fiery darts, —Walk ye in the blaze of your own fire. And in the fiery darts ye have kindled, At my hand, hath this befallen you, In sorrow, shall ye lie down.
