< Isaia 64 >
1 I NA oe e wahi i na lani, a iho hoi ilalo, I hehee na mauna imua o kou alo,
OH that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
2 E like me ke ahi i hoa i ka laau liilii, A me ke ahi i hoolapalapa ai i ka wai, I mea e hookaulana'i i kou inoa iwaena o kou poe enemi, I haalulu hoi na lahuikanaka imua o kou alo!
As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
3 Me kau i hana'i i na mea weliweli a makou i manao ole ai, No ka mea, iho mai no oe, i hehee na mauna imua o kou alo.
When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
4 Mai ka wa kahiko loa mai, aole i lohe lakou, aole i komo i ka pepeiao, Aole hoi i ike aku ka maka i ke Akua e ae, ke kaawale oe, I hana pela i ka mea kakali ia ia.
For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
5 Ua kuikahi no oe me ka mea olioli i ka hana i ka pono, Ka mea e hoomanao ia oe ma kou mau aoao; Aia hoi, ua huhu mai no oe, no ka mea, ua hana hewa makou; Maloko o kela mau mea, ua oia mau no, A e hoolaia no hoi makou.
Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 Aka, ua like no makou a pau me ka mea haumia, Ua like hoi ko makou pono a pau me ke kapa pea; A mae wale no hoi makou a pau, e like me ka lau; A ua kaikai aku no ko makou hewa ia makou, e like me ka makani.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7 Aohe mea i hea aku i kou inoa, A hoala ia ia iho e hooikaika aku ma ou la; No ka mea, ua huna oe i kou maka, mai o makou aku, A ua hoomaule hoi ia makou no ko makou mau hewa.
And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 Ano la, o oe, e Iehova, ko makou Makua, O makou no ka lepo, o oe ko makou potera; A o makou no a pau ka hana a kou lima.
But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
9 Mai ukiuki nui mai oe, e Iehova, Mai hoomanao mau loa hoi i ka hewa: Aia hoi, ke nonoi aku nei makou ia oe, e nana mai, O makou no a pau kou poe kanaka.
Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
10 Ua lilo no kou mau kulanakauhale laa i waonahele, He waonahele o Ziona, He wahi neoneo o Ierusalema.
Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 O ko makou hale laa, a nani hoi, Kahi a ko makou poe makua i hoonani ai ia oe, Ua pau ia i ke ahi; A ua anaiia hoi ko makou mau mea maikai a pau.
Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
12 E uumi anei oe ia oe no keia mau mea, e Iehova? E noho ekemu ole anei oe, a e hoopilikia loa mai ia makou?
Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O Lord? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
