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 you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your 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 fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the water to boil. Make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your 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 you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, and the mountains quaked at your 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 from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits 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.
You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time. Shall we 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.
For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take 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.
There is no one who calls on your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means 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, LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your 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.
Don’t be furious, LORD. Don’t remember iniquity forever. Look and see, we beg you, we are all your people.
10 Ua lilo no kou mau kulanakauhale laa i waonahele, He waonahele o Ziona, He wahi neoneo o Ierusalema.
Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become 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 you is burnt with fire. All our pleasant places 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?
Will you hold yourself back for these things, LORD? Will you keep silent and punish us very severely?
