< Isaia 63 >

1 O WAI keia e hele mai nei, mai Edoma mai? Me ka aahu i hooluuulaia, mai Bozera mai? O keia mea hoi i nani kona lole komo, E hele ana me ka manomano o kona ikaika? Owau, ka mea hai i ka pono, ka mea mana loa i ka hoola.
Who is this coming in from Edom With bright-red garments, from Bozrah? This made splendid in his raiment, Marching on in the greatness of his strength? I, speaking in righteousness, Mighty to save.
2 No ke aha la i ulaula ai kou lole komo, A like hoi kou lole komo, me ka mea hahi maloko o kahi kaomi waina?
Wherefore is there red, on thy raiment, —And thy garments as of one treading in a wine-trough?
3 Ua hahi no wau i kahi kaomi waina, owau wale, Aohe mea o na kanaka pu me au. E hehi no wau ia lakou i ko'u ukiuki, E hahahi no wau ia lakou i ko'u inaina. E kapipi no ko lakou koko i ko'u mau lole komo, A hoopalahea no wau i ko'u aahu a pau.
A winepress, have I trodden, alone, And of the peoples, there was no man with me. So I trod them down in mine anger, And trampled upon them, in mine indignation, —And their life-blood besprinkled my garments, And all mine apparel, I defiled;
4 No ka mea, aia no iloko o ko'u naau ka la o ka hoopai ana, Ua hiki mai hoi ka makahiki o ko'u poe hoolapanaiia.
For, a day of avenging, was in my heart, And the year of my redeemed, had come.
5 Nana aku la au, aohe mea nana e kokua; A haohao iho la au, no ka mea ole nana e koo: Nolaila, na ko'u lima no i hoola no'u iho, A o kuu inaina, oia ka i koo mai ia'u.
Therefore looked I around, and there was none to help, —And I was astonished that there was none to uphold, —So, mine own arm brought me salvation, And mine indignation, the same upheld me;
6 Ua hahi no au i na kanaka ilalo i kuu ukiuki, Ua haawi aku no au e ona lakou i ko'u inaina, A hoohaahaa au i ko lakou koko ilalo a ka honua.
Then trod I down peoples in mine anger, And make them drunk with mine indignation, And brought down to the earth their life-blood.
7 O ke aloha o Iehova ka'u o hoikeike aku ai, O na mea nani hoi o Iehova, E like me na mea a pau a Iehova i hana mai ai ia makou, A me ka lokomaikai nui i ko ka hale o Iseraela, Ka mea ana i hana mai ai, ma kona lokomaikai, A ma ka nui loa hoi o kona aloha.
The lovingkindness of Yahweh, will I recall the praises of Yahweh, According to all that Yahweh hath bestowed upon us, —Even the abundance of goodness to the house of Israel, Which he bestowed upon them—According to his compassions and According to the abundance of his lovingkindness.
8 No ka mea, olelo mai no oia, He oiaio, o ko'u poe kanaka lakou, he poe keiki wahahee ole; Nolaila oia i lilo ai i mea hoola no lakou.
Therefore he said—Surely my people, they are, Sons, they will not act falsely! So he became their saviour.
9 I ko lakou popilikia a pau, aole ia he enemi, Aka, na ka anela o kona alo lakou i hoola; A no kona aloha, a no kona lokomaikai, hoolapanai oia ia lakou; A hapai ae la oia, a kaikai aku la ia lakou, i na la a pau o ka wa kahiko.
In all their affliction, he, was afflicted And the messenger of his presence saved them, In his love and in his pity, he, redeemed them, —And then lifted them up and carried them all the days of the age-past time.
10 Aka, kipi no lakou, a hoeha aku la i kona Uhane Hemolele; Nolaila oia i huli ai i enemi no lakou, A kaua mai no hoi ia lakou.
But, they, rebelled, and grieved his Holy Spirit, —And so he turned against them as an enemy, he himself, fought against them.
11 Alaila, hoomanao iho la kona poe kanaka i na la kahiko ia Mose, Auhea ka mea nana lakou i lawe, mai loko mai o ke kai, Me ke kahu ohana hipa? Auhea hoi ka mea nana i waiho i kona Uhane Hemolele iwaenakonu ona?
Then were recalled the days of the age-past time Moses—his people: —Where is he that led them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put within him his Holy Spirit?
12 Ka mea i alakai ia lakou me ka lima akau o Mose, O ka lima no ia o kona nani, Ka mea i hookaawale i ka wai imua o ko lakou alo, I mea e hookaulana mau loa ia'i kona inoa?
That caused to go at the right hand of Moses his own majestic arm, —Cleaving the waters from before them, To make himself an age-abiding name:
13 E alakai ana ia lakou maloko o ka hohonu, E like me ka lio ma ka waoakua, I ole lakou e kulanalana?
Causing them to go through the roaring deeps, —Like a horse through the wilderness, That they should not stumble?
14 E like me ka bipi, i iho ilalo i kahawai, Pela no i hoomaha ai ka Uhane o Iehova ia ia; Pela hoi kau i alakai ai i kou poe kanaka, I mea e hana'i i inoa kaulana loa nou.
As a beast, into the valley, goeth down, The Spirit of Yahweh, causeth him to rest, So, didst thou lead thy people, To make thyself a majestic name!
15 E nana mai oe, mai ka lani mai, E ike mai hoi, mai kahi noho ai o kou pono, a me kou hanohano; Auhea kou manao nui ana, a me kou ikaika? Ke kani ana o kou opu, a me kou aloha ia'u? Ua uumiia anei ia?
Look thou down, out of the heavens and see, Out of the high abode of thy holiness and of thy majesty, —Where are thy jealousy, and thy mighty deeds? The resounding of thy yearning affection, and thy compassions towards me, are they restrained?
16 He oiaio no, o oe no ko makou Makua, Aole nae i ike mai o Aberahama ia makou, Aole hoomaopopo mai o Iseraela ia makou; O oe, o Iehova no ko makou Makua, a me ko makou Hoolapanai, Mai ka wa kahiko loa mai no kou inoa.
For, thou, art our father, Though, Abraham, knew us not, And Israel could not acknowledge us, —Thou, O Yahweh, art our father, Our Redeemer from the Age-past time, is thy name.
17 E Iehova, no ke aha la oe i hooauwana ia makou mai kou mau aoao aku? A ua hoopaakiki hoi i ko makou naau, i makau ole aku ai ia oe? E hoi mai oe, no kau mau kauwa, A no na ohana o kou hooilina.
Wherefore shouldst thou suffer us to wander O Yahweh, from thy ways? Wherefore shouldst thou let us harden our heart past revering thee? Return thou for the sake of Thy servants, The tribes thou thyself hast inherited.
18 Ua noho iki wale no kou poe kanaka laa, Ua hahi ko makou poe enemi maluna o kou wahi hoano.
For a short time only, did thy holy people hold possession, —Our adversaries, trod down thy sanctuary!
19 Mai ka wa kahiko mai makou; Aole noho alii oe maluna o lakou, Ka poe i kapa ole ia ma kou inoa.
We have become like those Over whom from age-past times, thou hast not ruled, Who have never been called by thy name!
