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, you barren woman, you who have not given birth; break into joyful singing and cry aloud, you who have never been in birth labor. For the children of the desolate one are more than the children of the married woman,” says Yahweh.
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;
“Make your tent larger and spread your tent curtains farther out, unsparingly; lengthen your ropes 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 to the right hand and to the left, and your descendants will conquer nations and resettle 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 fear for you will not be ashamed, nor be discouraged for you will not be disgraced; you will forget the shame of your youth and the disgrace of your abandonment.
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; Yahweh of hosts is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is 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 Yahweh has called you back as a wife abandoned and grieved in spirit, like a woman married young and rejected,” 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 short time I abandoned you, but with great compassion I will gather you.
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 a flood of anger I hid my face from you momentarily; but with everlasting covenant faithfulness I will have mercy on you— says Yahweh, the one who rescues you.
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: as I swore that the waters of Noah would never again pass over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you or 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.
Though the mountains may fall and the hills be shaken, yet my steadfast love will not turn away from you, nor will my covenant of peace be shaken— says Yahweh, 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.
Afflicted one, storm-driven and uncomforted one, look, I will set your pavement in turquoise, 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 and your gates of sparkling stones, and your outer wall of beautiful stones.
13 E aoia no hoi kau mau keiki a pau e Iehova, A e nui loa auanei ka pomaikai o kau mau keiki.
Then all your children will be taught by Yahweh; and the peace of your children 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.
In righteousness you will be established, and you will be far from oppression, for you will not fear; and from terror, for it will not come near to 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.
Look, if anyone stirs up trouble, it will not be from me; anyone who stirs up trouble with you will fall in defeat.
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.
See, I have created the craftsman, who blows the burning coals and forges weapons as 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 succeed; and you will condemn everyone who accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their vindication from me—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
