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 Yahweh says, “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where then is the house you will build for me? Where is the place where I may 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.
My hand has made all these things; that is how these things came to be—this is Yahweh's declaration. This is the man of whom I approve, the broken and contrite in spirit, and 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.
He who slaughters an ox also murders a man; he who sacrifices a lamb also breaks a dog's neck; he who offers a grain offering offers swine's blood; he who offers a memorial of incense also blesses wickedness. They have chosen their own ways, and they take pleasure 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.
In the same way I will choose their own punishment; I will bring on them what they fear, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, no one listened. They did what was evil in my sight, and chose to do what displeases me.”
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.
Hear the word of Yahweh, you who tremble at his word, “Your brothers who hate and exclude you for my name's sake have said, 'May Yahweh be glorified, then we will 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.
A sound of battle tumult comes from the city, a sound from the temple, the sound of Yahweh paying back his enemies.
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 goes into labor, she gives birth; before pain is upon her, she gave birth to a son.
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 a thing? Who has seen such things? Will a land be born in one day? Can a nation be established in one moment? Yet as soon as Zion goes into labor, she gives 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.
Do I bring a baby to the birth opening and not permit the child to be born?—asks Yahweh. Or do I bring a child to moment of delivery and then hold it back?—asks 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.
Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice with her, all you who mourned 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.
For you will nurse and be satisfied; with her breasts you will be comforted; for you will drink them to the full and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
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 Yahweh says, “I am about to spread prosperity over her like a river, and the riches of the nations like an overflowing stream. You will nurse at her side, be carried in her arms, and be dandled 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.
As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you, and 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.
You will see this, and your heart will rejoice, and your bones will sprout like the tender grass. The hand of Yahweh will be made known to his servants, but he will show his anger against 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 look, Yahweh is coming with fire, and his chariots are coming like the windstorm to bring the heat of his anger 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 Yahweh executes judgment on mankind by fire and with his sword. Those killed by Yahweh will be many.
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.
They consecrate themselves and make themselves pure, so they may enter the gardens, following the one in the middle of those who eat the flesh of pig and abominable things like mice. “They will come to an end—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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.
For I know their deeds and their thoughts. The time is coming when I will gather all nations and languages. They will come and will 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 set a mighty sign among them. Then I will send survivors from them to the nations: To Tarshish, Put, and Lud, archers who draw their bows, to Tubal, Javan, and to the distant coastlands where they have not heard about me nor seen my glory. 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.
They will bring back all your brothers out of all the nations, as an offering to Yahweh. They will come on horses, and in chariots, in wagons, on mules, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem—says Yahweh. For the people of Israel will bring a grain offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yahweh.
21 A e lawe no wau, noloko o lakou, i mau kahuna, a i poe lawelawe, e like me na Levi, wahi a Iehova.
Some of these I will even choose as priests and Levites—says Yahweh.
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 that I will make will remain before me—this is Yahweh's declaration—so your descendants will remain, and your name will remain.
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 month to the next, and from one Sabbath to the next, all people will come to bow down to me—says Yahweh.
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 the men who have rebelled against me, for the worms that eat them will not die, and the fire that consumes them will not be quenched; and it will be an abhorrence to all flesh.”
