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.
[I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”
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?
[I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”
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.
[He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.
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.
I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].
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.
I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.
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.
Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on the ground.”
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.
I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.
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.
Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.
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.
When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].
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 we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.
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 we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?
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?
Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?
13 E alakai ana ia lakou maloko o ka hohonu, E like me ka lio ma ka waoakua, I ole lakou e kulanalana?
Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.
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.
They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”
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?
[Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.
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.
You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.
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.
Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.
18 Ua noho iki wale no kou poe kanaka laa, Ua hahi ko makou poe enemi maluna o kou wahi hoano.
We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.
19 Mai ka wa kahiko mai makou; Aole noho alii oe maluna o lakou, Ka poe i kapa ole ia ma kou inoa.
Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
