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 the earth is where I place my feet. So where will this house be that you're going to build for me? Where will I lie down to rest?
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.
I made everything; that's how it all came into existence, says the Lord. Those I look favorably on are humble and repentant, and they tremble when I speak.
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.
When someone sacrifices a bull it's like human sacrifice, and when someone sacrifices a lamb, it's like breaking the neck of a dog. When they present a grain offering it's like presenting pig's blood, and when they burn incense it's like worshiping an idol. Since they have chosen to act like this and to love such disgusting things,
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.
I will also choose to punish them severely and to terrify them, because I called out to them but no one answered; I spoke to them, but no one listened. Instead they did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
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.
Listen to what the Lord has to say, those of you who tremble when he speaks. This is what some of your people who hate you and throw you out have said, “Let the Lord be glorified, so we can see how happy you are!” but it's them who are going to be humiliated.
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 all the shouting from the city! Hear all the noise from the Temple! It's the sound of the Lord giving his enemies back 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.
She gave birth before she went into labor, she delivered a boy before the pains came.
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 ever heard of anything like this? Who has seen this kind of thing before? Can a country be delivered in a day, can a nation be born in a moment? Yet as soon as Zion went into 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.
Would I bring a baby to the point of birth and then not deliver it? the Lord asks. Would I who deliver the baby stop it from being born? the Lord asks again.
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.
Celebrate with Jerusalem and be happy for her, everyone who loves her; celebrate with her and sing for joy, everyone who mourns 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.
Like a baby you can nurse at her breasts that bring comfort, drinking deeply and being satisfied by all she has to give.
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.
This is what the Lord says: Watch! I'm going to give her peace and prosperity like a flowing river, the wealth of nations like an overflowing stream. You will nurse and be carried on her hip and played with on 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.
Like a mother comforting her child, I will comfort you. You will be comforted in 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 this happening, you'll be happy deep inside, and you'll prosper like growing grass. The Lord's power will be recognized as blessing his servants and cursing 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.
Look! The Lord is coming surrounded by fire, his chariots whirling like the wind, to express his anger with fury, to give his reprimand in 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.
The Lord will execute judgment on everyone by fire and by his sword. There will be many killed 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 dedicate themselves and make themselves pure in order to enter the sacred gardens, to worship the idol placed in the center, and to eat pork and vermin and rats and other disgusting things—they will all die together, says 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.
I know what they're doing and what they're thinking. I will soon come to gather all nations and peoples of different languages. 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 give them a sign, and I will send some who survive to the nations. They will go to Tarshish, to the Libyans and Lydians (who are famous as archers), to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant lands that haven't heard about me or seen my glory. They will announce 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.
They will bring back all your people from every nations to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord. They will come on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels, says the Lord. They will bring them in the same way the Israelites bring their grain offerings to the Lord's Temple using vessels that are ceremonially clean.
21 A e lawe no wau, noloko o lakou, i mau kahuna, a i poe lawelawe, e like me na Levi, wahi a Iehova.
I will choose 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.
As the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will last forever, so your descendants and your reputation will also last forever, says the Lord.
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.
Everyone will come and worship me, from one New Moon to the next, and from one Sabbath to the next, 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.
They will go out and see the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me. The worms that eat them won't die, the fire that burns them won't go out, and everyone who sees them will be horrified.
