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.
“Hey! Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters! Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat! Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
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 spend money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which doesn’t satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in richness.
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 ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul will live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of 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.
Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, 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.
Behold, you shall call a nation that you don’t know; and a nation that didn’t know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he 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 the LORD while he may be found. Call on him while he is near.
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 forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, to our God, for he will freely pardon.
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, and your ways are not my ways,” says the LORD.
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 comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives seed to the sower 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 is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
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 shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace. The mountains and the hills will break out before you into singing; 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 thorn the cypress tree will come up; and instead of the brier the myrtle tree will come up. It will make a name for the LORD, for an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.”
