< 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 from Edom? With dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is honourable in his clothing, Travelling in the abundance of his power?' — '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] thy clothing red? And thy garments as treading in a wine fat?'
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 wine-press I have trodden by myself, And of the peoples there is no one with me, And I tread them in mine anger, And I trample them in my fury, Sprinkled is their strength on my garments, And all my clothing I have polluted.
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 the day of vengeance [is] in my heart, And the year of my redeemed hath 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.
And I look attentively, and there is none helping, And I am astonished that there is none supporting, And give salvation to me doth mine own arm. And my wrath — it hath supported 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.
And I tread down peoples in mine anger, And I make them drunk in my fury, And I bring down to earth their strength.
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 kind acts of Jehovah I make mention of, The praises of Jehovah, According to all that Jehovah hath done for us, And the abundance of the goodness to the house of Israel, That He hath done for them, According to His mercies, And according to the abundance of His kind acts.
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.
And He saith, Only My people they [are], Sons — they lie not, and He is to them for a 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 distress [He is] no adversary, And the messenger of His presence saved them, In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, And He doth lift them up, And beareth them all the days of old.
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.
And they have rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, And He turneth to them for an enemy, He Himself hath 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?
And He remembereth the days of old, Moses — his people. Where [is] He who is bringing them up from the sea, The shepherd of his flock? Where [is] He who is putting in its midst 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?
Leading by the right hand of Moses, the arm of His glory, Cleaving waters from before them, To make to Himself a name age-during.
13 E alakai ana ia lakou maloko o ka hohonu, E like me ka lio ma ka waoakua, I ole lakou e kulanalana?
Leading them through the depths, As a horse in a plain they stumble not.
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 a valley goeth down, The Spirit of Jehovah causeth him to rest, So hast Thou led Thy people, To make to Thyself a glorious 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 attentively from the heavens, And see from Thy holy and beauteous habitation, Where [is] Thy zeal and Thy might? The multitude of Thy bowels and Thy mercies Towards me have refrained themselves.
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, For Abraham hath not known us, And Israel doth not acknowledge us, Thou, O Jehovah, [art] our Father, Our redeemer from the age, [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.
Why causest Thou us to wander, O Jehovah, from Thy ways? Thou hardenest our heart from Thy fear, Turn back for Thy servants' sake, The tribes of Thine inheritance.
18 Ua noho iki wale no kou poe kanaka laa, Ua hahi ko makou poe enemi maluna o kou wahi hoano.
For a little while did Thy holy people possess, Our adversaries have trodden 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 been from of old, Thou hast not ruled over them, Not called is Thy name upon them!
