Isaia 54
1 E OLI oe, e ka mea pa, ka mea i hanau ole hoi; E oli i ke oli, a e hauoli hoi, e ka mea kuakoko ole; No ka mea, ua nui aku na keiki a ka mea i neoneo, i na keiki a ka wahine i mareia, wahi a Iehova.
“Sing, barren, you who did not give birth! Break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,” says the LORD.
2 A hoakea i kahi o kou halelewa, E hoopalahalaha hoi lakou i na paku o kou wahi e noho ai; Mai aua, e hooloihi i kou mau kaula, E hoopaa loa hoi i kou mau makia;
“Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations; do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
3 No ka mea, e poha aku auanei oe, ma ka lima akau, a ma ka lima hema; A e ili mai ko na aina na kau poe mamo, A ia lakou no e hoonohoia na kulanakauhale neoneo.
For you will spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring will possess the nations and settle in desolate cities.
4 Mai makau oe, no ka mea, aole oe e hilahila, Mai hoopalaimaka, no ka mea, aole oe hoohilahilaia; E hoopoina no hoi oe i ka hilahila o kou wa opiopio, Aole hoi e mauao hou i ka hoowahawahaia o kou noho wahine kane make ana.
“Do not be afraid, for you will not be ashamed. Do not be confounded, for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth. You will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more.
5 No ka mea, o ka mea nana oe i hana, oia kau kane, O Iehova o na kaua kona inoa; A o kou Hoolapanai, o ka Mea Hemolele ia o ka Iseraela; E kapaia no hoi oia, ke Akua o ka honua a pau.
For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of Armies is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth.
6 No ka mea, ua hea aku o Iehova ia oe, E like me ka wahine i haaleleia, a kaumaha hoi ma ka naau, Ka wahine hoi i ka wa opiopio; No ka mea, e hooleia oia, wahi a ke Akua ou.
For the LORD has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.
7 No ka manawa uuku, ua haalele aku au ia oe; Aka, me ka lokomaikai he nui loa, e hoiliili au ia oe.
“For a small moment I have forsaken you, but I will gather you with great mercies.
8 I ka hu ana o ka huhu, huna no wau i ko'u maka ia oe i kekahi minute; Aka, me ke aloha mau loa, e lokomaikai aku ai au ia oe, Wahi a Iehova, kou Hoolapanai.
In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.
9 No ka mea, e like me na wai o Noa, pela no keia ia'u; Me au i hoohiki ai, aole e hoohalana hou na wai o Noa i ka honua, Pela no wau i hoohiki ai, aole au e huhu aku ia oe, Aole hoi au e paipai ikaika aku ia oe.
“For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
10 No ka mea, e lilo auanei na kuahiwi, A e hooneeneeia na mauna; Aka, aole e lilo aku ko'u lokomaikai, Aole hoi e hooneeneeia ka berita o ko'u malu, Wahi a Iehova, ka mea i aloha mai ia oe.
For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness will not depart from you, and my covenant of peace will not be removed,” says the LORD who has mercy on you.
11 E ka mea popilikia i hooalealeia, Aole hoi i alohaia! E hoonoho wau i kou mau pohaku maloko o ka pena, A e hookumu wau ia oe ma ua pohaku sapeiro.
“You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 A hana no wau i kou mau puupuu kaua i pohaku paea, A me kou mau pukapa i pohaku ula, A me kou mau mokuna a pau i pohaku maikai.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
13 E aoia no hoi kau mau keiki a pau e Iehova, A e nui loa auanei ka pomaikai o kau mau keiki.
All your children will be taught by the LORD, and your children’s peace will be great.
14 Ma ka pono no oe e hookumuia'i: E mamao aku oe i ka hookaumaha, No ka mea, aole oe e makau ana; A i ka weliweli hoi, no ka mea, aole ia e hookokoke mai ia oe.
You will be established in righteousness. You will be far from oppression, for you will not be afraid, and far from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Aia hoi, e hookipikipi no lakou, aole nae mamuli o ka'u olelo ana, O ka mea kipi aku ia oe, e haule no ia mamuli ou.
Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.
16 Aia hoi, na'u no i hana i ka amara nana e puhi i ka lanahu i ke ahi, A hoopuka mai la oia i mea hana no kana hana; A na'u hoi i hana i ka mea make e make ai.
“Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame, and forges a weapon for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.
17 O na mea hoeha a pau i hanaia e ku e ia oe, aole lakou e lanakila, A o na elelo a pau e ala mai e ku e ia oe, nau no ia e hoahewa aku. Oia ka hooilina o na kanwa a Iehova, A na'u hoi ko lakou pono, wahi a Iehova.
No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the LORD’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says the LORD.
