< Isaia 52 >
1 E ALA, e ala, e aahu i kou ikaika, e Ziona; E komo i kou mau lole nani, e Ierusalema, Ke kulanakauhale laa; No ka mea, ma keia wa aku, aole e hele hou iloko ou, ka mea i okipoepoe ole ia, a me ka haumia.
Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, thou holy city; for no more shall enter into thee henceforth the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2 E lulu oe ia oe iho no ka lepo, E ku iluna, a e noho ilalo, e Ierusalema; E wehe oe i na mea paa o kau a-i, e ke kaikamahine pio o Ziona.
Shake thyself free from the dust, arise, sit down, O Jerusalem: loosen thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive, daughter of Zion.
3 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Ua kuai make hewa aku oukou ia oukou iho; A e hoolapauaiia oukou, aole nae i ke kala.
For thus hath said the Lord, For naught were you sold, and without silver shall ye be redeemed.
4 No ka mea, ke i mai nei o Iehova, ka Haku, penei, I kinohi, iho no ko'u poe kanaka ilalo i Aigupita, e noho iki malaila, A hookaumaha kumu ole ko Asuria ia lakou.
For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Into Egypt went my people down aforetimes, to sojourn there, and Asshur hath oppressed it without cause.
5 Heaha hoi ka'u ianei i keia wa, wahi a Iehova, I lawe make hewa ia'ku ko'u poe kanaka? E aoa auanei ko lakou poe luna, wahi a Iehova; Ua hoowahawaha mau ia ko'u inoa i na la a pau.
And now what have I here, saith the Lord, since my people hath been taken away for naught? its rulers vaunt aloud, saith the Lord, and continually, all the day, is my name blasphemed.
6 Nolaila, e ike auanei ko'u poe kanaka i ko'u inoa; Nolaila hoi, e ike no lakou i kela la, Owau no ka mea nana e olelo; aia hoi, owau no.
Therefore shall my people know my name, therefore on that day, that I am he that speaketh it: here am I.
7 Nani wale hoi ma na mauna, na wawae o ka mea hai i ka euanelio, Ka mea hoolaha i ka malu, Ka mea hai i ka euanelio maikai, Ka mea hoikeike i ke ola, Ka mea olelo ia Ziona, Ke malama aupuni nei kou Akua!
How beautiful are upon the mountains the feet of the messenger of good tidings, that publisheth peace, that announceth tidings of happiness, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth.
8 O kou poe kiai, hookiekie lakou i ka leo, Hookani pu no ka leo o lakou; No ka mea, e ike auanei lakou, he maka no, he maka, Ke hoihoi mai o Iehova ia Ziona.
The voice of thy watchmen, —they raise their voice, together shall they shout; for eye to eye shall they see, when the Lord returneth unto Zion.
9 E hookani olioli oukou, e olioli pu, E na wahi neoneo o Ierusalema; No ka mea, ua hoomaha mai o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, Ua hoolapanai oia ia Ierusalema.
Break forth [in song], shout together, ye ruins of Jerusalem; the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Ua hoike o Iehova i kona lima hemolele imua o na maka o na lahuikanaka a pau; A e ike auanei na kukulu a pau o ka honua i ka hoola ana o ko kakou Akua.
The Lord hath made bare his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
11 E hele oukou mawaho, e hele oukou mawaho, e puka aku mawaho olaila, Mai pa aku i ka mea haumia; E puka aku mai loko aku ona; E hoohuikala oukou ia oukou, e ka poe halihali i na ipu o Iehova.
Depart ye, depart ye, go out from there, touch no unclean thing; go ye out from the midst of it; cleanse yourselves, ye bearers of the vessels of the Lord.
12 No ka mea, aole oukou e puka aku me ka holo, Aole hoi oukou e hele me ke auhee; No ka mea, e hele no o Iehova imua o oukou, A o ke Akua o ka Iseraela auanei ka mea hele mahope o oukou.
Not in haste shall ye go out, and not in flight shall ye go; for before you goeth the Lord, and your rereward is the God of Israel.
13 Aia hoi e pomaikai ana ka'u kauwa, E hapaiia no hoi ia, a e hookiekieia, A e kiekie loa auanei oia.
Behold, my servant shall be prosperous, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be placed very high.
14 Nui no ka poe i haohao ia oe, No ka mea, ua oi aku ka mainoino o kona helehelena mamua o ko ke kanaka, A me kona hiona hoi mamna o ko na keiki a kanaka.
Just as many were astonished at thee, so greatly was his countenance marred more than any [other] man's, and his form more than [that of] the sons of men, —
15 Pela no oia e pipi ai i na lahuikanaka, he nui loa; E hoopaa na'lii i ko lakou waha imua ona; No ka mea, e ike auanei lakou i ka mea i hai ole ia ia lakou, A e noonoo pono lakou i ka mea a lakou i lohe ole ai.
Thus will he cause many nations to jump up in [astonishment]; at him will kings shut their mouth; for what had not been told unto them shall they see, and what they had never heard shall they understand.
