< Isaia 55 >
1 E A! na mea a pau e makewai, E hele mai oukou i na wai, A o ka mea kala ole, e hele mai hoi oukou, e kuai no, a e ai iho; Oia, e hele mai, e kuai i ka waina, a me ka waiu, me ke kala ole, a me ke kumu ole.
“Come, everyone who is thirsty, come to the water, and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
2 No ke aha la oukou i kaupaona aku ai i ka oukou kala i ka mea, aole ia he berena? A i ko oukou waiwai hoi, i ka mea hoomaona ole mai? E hoolohe pono mai oukou ia'u, a e ai hoi i ka mea i maikai io, A e olioli hoi ko oukou uhane ma ka momona.
Why do you weigh out silver for what is not bread, and why do you labor for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in fatness.
3 E haliu mai i ko oukou pepeiao, a e hele mai ia'u; A hoolohe mai, a e ola no ko oukou uhane; A e hana no au me oukou i berita mau loa, I ka lokomaikai oiaio hoi o Davida.
Turn your ears and come to me! Listen, that you may live! I will make an everlasting covenant with you—my reliable, faithful love that I promised to David.
4 Aia hoi, ua haawi aku au ia ia i mea hoike no na kanaka, I alakai hoi, a i luna no na lahuikanaka.
Look, I have placed him as a witness to the nations, as a leader and commander to the peoples.
5 Aia hoi, e kahea aku no oe i ka lahuikanaka au i ike ole ai; A o ka lahuikanaka i ike ole ia oe, e holo aku no lakou iou la, No Iehova, kou Akua, a no ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela; No ka mea, ua hoonani mai oia ia oe.
Look, you will call to a nation that you did not know; and a nation that did not know you will run to you because of Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, who has glorified you.”
6 E imi oukou ia Iehova, oiai oia ma kahi e loaa'i, E hea aku ia ia, oiai oia ma kahi kokoke.
Seek Yahweh while he may be found; call on him while he is nearby.
7 E haalele ke kanaka hewa i kona aoao, A me ke kanaka lawehala, i kona mau manao; A e hoi mai hoi oia io Iehova la, a e lokomaikai no oia ia ia, A i ko kakou Akua hoi, no ka mea, e kala nui loa auanei oia.
Let the wicked leave his path, and the man of sin his thoughts. Let him return to Yahweh, and he will pity him, and to our God, who will abundantly forgive him.
8 No ka mea, o ko'u mau manao, aole ia o ko oukou mau manao, A o ko oukou mau aoao, aole ia o ko'u mau aoao, wahi a Iehova.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways—this is Yahweh's declaration—
9 No ka mea, e like me ke kiekie o na lani maluna o ka honua, Pela no ke kiekie o ko'u mau aoao maluna o ko oukou mau aoao, A me ko'u mau manao, maluna o ko oukou mau manao.
for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 No ka mea, e like me ka ua, a me ka hau i iho mai, mai na lani mai, Aole hoi e hoi hou ilaila, aka, e hoomau mai no i ka honua, A hoohua iho la ia ia, e hoomuo no hoi, I haawi mai ia i ka hua na ka mea lulu hua, A i berena hoi na ka mea ai;
For as the rain and snow come down from heaven and do not return there unless they saturate the earth and make it produce and sprout and give seed to the farmer who sows and bread to the eater,
11 Pela auanei ka'u olelo, ka mea i puka aku, mai ko'u waha aku, Aole ia e hoi nele mai ia'u; Aka, e hana no ia i ka mea a'u e makemake ai, A e hooko io ia i ka mea a'u e hoouna aku ai ia ia.
so also my word will be that goes from my mouth—it will not return to me empty, but it will achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
12 No ka mea, e puka aku auanei oukou me ka olioli, A e alakaiia'ku oukou me ka malu: E hookani i ke oli na kuahiwi, a me na mauna imua o oukou, A e paipailima hoi na laau a pau o ke kula.
For you will go out in joy and be led along peacefully; the mountains and the hills will break out in joyful shouts before you, and all the trees of the fields will clap their hands.
13 Ma kahi o ke kakalaioa e ulu mai auanei ka laau kaa, A ma kahi o ka laau ooi, ka hadasa hoi; A e lilo ia i mea kaulana no Iehova, I ouli mau loa no hoi e hooki ole ia'i.
Instead of the thornbushes, the cypress will grow; and instead of the brier, the myrtle tree will grow, and it will be for Yahweh, for his name, as an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.”
