Isaia 66
1 PEIA ka Iehova e olelo mai nei, O ka lani no ko'u noho alii, a o ka honua hoi ko'u keehana wawae: Auhea ka hale a oukou e hana mai ai no'u? Auhea hoi ko'u wahi e hoomaha'i?
This is what the LORD says: “Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me? Or where will My place of repose be?
2 No ka mea, na ko'u lima no i hana ia mau mea a pau, A eia no hoi lakou a pau e noho la, wahi a Iehova; Aka, e nana aku au i keia, i ka mea i haahaa, a mihi hoi ma ka naau, A haalulu i ka'u olelo.
Has not My hand made all these things? And so they came into being,” declares the LORD. “This is the one I will esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, who trembles at My word.
3 O ka mea kalua i ka bipi, he pepehi kanaka ia, O ka mea mohai i ka hipa, hai no oia i ka a-i o ka ilio: O ka mohai makana, he koko puaa no ia; O ka mea kuni i ka mea ala, hoomaikai no oia i ke akuakii; Oia, ua koho lakou i ko lakou aoao iho, A olioli no ko lakou naau i ko lakou mea hoopailua.
Whoever slaughters an ox is like one who slays a man; whoever sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever presents a grain offering is like one who offers pig’s blood; whoever offers frankincense is like one who blesses an idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways and delighted in their abominations.
4 E koho no hoi au i ko lakou poino, A na'u hoi e hooili aku maluna o lakou, i ko lakou mea e weliweli ai; No ka mea, ia'u i hea aku ai, aohe mea i o mai, Ia'u i olelo aku ai, aole lakou i hoolohe: Aka, hana hewa no lakou imua o ko'u mau maka, A koho no hoi i ka mea a'u i makemake ole ai.
So I will choose their punishment and I will bring terror upon them, because I called and no one answered, I spoke and no one listened. But they did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”
5 E hoolohe oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, E ka poe haalulu i kana olelo; O ko oukou poe koahanau, ka poe i ukiuki mai ia oukou, Ka poe i kipaku aku ia oukou iwaho, no ko'u inoa, I ae la lakou, E hoonaniia o Iehova: A e ikeia no ia, i mea e hauoli ai oukou, Aka, e hilahila auanei lakou.
You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: “Your brothers who hate you and exclude you because of My name have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified that we may see your joy!’ But they will be put to shame.”
6 He leo no ka walaau, mai ke kulanakauhale mai. He leo mai ka luakini mai, ka leo o Iehova e hoopai ana i kona poe enemi.
Hear the uproar from the city; listen to the voice from the temple! It is the voice of the LORD, repaying His enemies what they deserve!
7 Mamua o kona kuakoko ana, hanau mai la oia, Mamua o ka hiki ana mai o kona nahu, Hanau mai la oia, he keikikane.
“Before she was in labor, she gave birth; before she was in pain, she delivered a boy.
8 Owai ka mea i lohe i ka mea o like me ia? Owai ka mea i ike i na mea o like me ia? E hoohanauia mai anei ka honua i ka la hookahi? E hanau anei ka lahuikanaka ma ka minute? No ka mea, ia Ziona i kuakoko mua ai, hanau mai la no kana mau keiki.
Who has heard of such as this? Who has seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be delivered in an instant? Yet as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children.
9 E hookokoke anei au i ka hanau, aole hoi e hoohanau mai? wahi a Iehova: E hoohanau anei au, alaila papani aku? wahi a ke Akua ou.
Shall I bring a baby to the point of birth and not deliver it?” says the LORD. “Or will I who deliver close the womb?” says your God.
10 E olioli pu no oukou me Ierusalema, A e hauoli pu no hoi me ia, e ka poe a pau i aloha aku ia ia: E olioli nui loa ia ia, e ka poe a pau i kanikau ia ia.
Be glad for Jerusalem and rejoice over her, all who love her. Rejoice greatly with her, all who mourn over her,
11 I omo oukou, a maona hoi ma ka puu waiu o kona hoomaha ana, I uwi aku oukou, a olioli i ka nui o kona nani.
so that you may nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you may drink deeply and delight yourselves in her glorious abundance.
12 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Aia hoi, e hohola aku no au i ka malu maluna ona, me he muliwai la, A i ka nani o ko na aina, e like me ka wai kahe e halana ana; Alaila, e omo no oukou, e kaikaiia hoi ma ka aoao, A e hiiia hoi ma na kuli.
For this is what the LORD says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flowing stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm, and bounced upon her knees.
13 E like me ka mea a kona makuwahine i hoomaha ai, Pela no wau e hoomaha aku ai ia oukou, A e hoomahaia oukou ma o Ierusalema la.
As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you, and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
14 A ike oukou ia, e olioli no ko oukou naau, A e ulu no ko oukou mau iwi, e like me ka laalaau: A e ikeia auanei ka lima o Iehova, maluna o kana poe kauwa, A me kona ukiuki maluna o kona poe enemi.
When you see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants, but His wrath will be shown to His enemies.
15 No ka mea, aia hoi, e hele mai no o Iehova me ke ahi, A me kona mau kaakaua, e like me ka puahiohio, E hoihoi mai i kona huhu me ka ukiuki, A me kona papa ana, me na lapalapa o ke ahi.
For behold, the LORD will come with fire— His chariots are like a whirlwind— to execute His anger with fury and His rebuke with flames of fire.
16 No ka mea, me ke ahi no, a me kana pahikaua, E hakaka'i o Iehova me na mea io a pau: A e nui loa auanei ka poe a Iehova e pepehi ai.
For by fire and by His sword, the LORD will execute judgment on all flesh, and many will be slain by the LORD.
17 O ka poe hoano ia lakou iho, a hoomaemae ia lakou iho ma na mahinaai, Mahope o kekahi mawaena, e ai ana i ka io o ka puaa, a me ka mea e hoopailua ai a me ka iole; E make pu no lakou, wahi a Iehova.
“Those who consecrate and purify themselves to enter the groves—to follow one in the center of those who eat the flesh of swine and vermin and rats—will perish together,” declares the LORD.
18 A e ike auanei au i ka lakou hana, a me ko lakou manao; No ka mea, e hoakoakoaia ko na aina a pau, a me ka poe olelo e, A e hele mai no lakou, a e ike i ko'u nani.
“And I, knowing their deeds and thoughts, am coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.
19 A e kau no wau i ka ouli no lakou, A o ka poe o lakou e pakele, e hoouna aku au ia lakou i na aina e, I Taresisa, i Pula, a i Luda, na mea i lena i ke kakaka; I Tubala hoi, a i Iavana, a i na aina loihi e aku, Ka poe i lohe ole i kuu kaulana, aole hoi i ike i ko'u nani; A na lakou no e hai i ko'u nani iwaena o ko na aina e.
I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud; to Tubal, Javan, and the islands far away who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. So they will proclaim My glory among the nations.
20 A e lawe mai no lakou i ko oukou poe hoahanau a pau, Mai loko mai o na aina a pau, i mohai no Iehova, Maluna o na lio, a maloko o na kaakaua, a ma na manele, A ma na hoki, a me na kamelo mama, a i ko'u mauna hoano i Ierusalema, wahi a Iehova; E like me na mamo a Iseraela i lawe mai ai i ka mohai maloko o ka ipu maemae, A i ka hale o Iehova.
And they will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the LORD on horses and chariots and wagons, on mules and camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD, “just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.”
21 A e lawe no wau, noloko o lakou, i mau kahuna, a i poe lawelawe, e like me na Levi, wahi a Iehova.
“And I will select some of them as priests and Levites,” says the LORD.
22 No ka mea, e like me na lani hou, a me ka houna hou a'u e hana'i, e mau lakou imua o'u, wahi a Iehova, Pela no e mau ai ka oukou poe keiki, a me ko oukou inoa.
“For just as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will endure before Me,” declares the LORD, “so your descendants and your name will endure.
23 A mai kekahi mahina hou, a i kekahi mahina hou, A mai kekahi sabati, a i kekahi sabati, E hele mai no na mea io a pau e hoomana imua o'u, wahi a Iehova.
From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come to worship before Me,” says the LORD.
24 A e puka aku no lakou iwaho, a e nana iho i na kupapau o na kanaka i kipi mai ia'u: No ka mea, aole e make ko lakou ilo, Aole e pio ko lakou ahi, A e lilo no lakou i mea hoopailua no na mea io a pau.
“As they go forth, they will see the corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me; for their worm will never die, their fire will never be quenched, and they will be a horror to all mankind.”
