Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Listen to Me, O islands; pay attention, O distant peoples: The LORD called Me from the womb; from the body of My mother He named Me.
1E HALIU mai oukou ia'u, e na aina e, E hoolohe hoi oukou, e na lahuikanaka, ma kahi mamao aku; Hea mai o Iehova ia'u mai ka opu mai, Mai ka opu mai hoi o ko'u makuwahine, ua hoike oia i ko'u inoa.
2He made My mouth like a sharp sword; He hid Me in the shadow of His hand. He made Me like a polished arrow; He hid Me in His quiver.
2Ua hana oia i ko'u waha a like me ka pahikaua oi, Ua huna mai oia ia'u ma ke aka o kona lima, Ua hana mai oia ia'u, a like me ka pua i anaiia, Ua huna mai oia ia'u iloko o kona aapua,
3He said to Me, “You are My Servant, Israel, in whom I will display My glory.”
3Ua olelo mai oia ia'u, O oe no ka'u kauwa, O Iseraela hoi oe, ka mea a'u e hoonaniia'i.
4But I said, “I have labored in vain, I have spent My strength in futility and vanity; yet My vindication is with the LORD, and My reward is with My God.”
4Alaila, i iho la au, Ua hooikaika makehewa au, No ka ole, a no ka lapuwale au i hoopau ai i ko'u ikaika; Me Iehova nae ko'u aponoia. Me ko'u Akua hoi ka'u hana ana.
5And now says the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, that Israel might be gathered to Him— for I am honored in the sight of the LORD, and My God is My strength—
5Ano ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, Ka mea i hana mai ia'u i kauwa nana, mai ka opu mai, I mea hoi e hoihoi mai i ka Iakoba ia ia, Ina e hoakoakoa ole ia ka Iseraela, E nani io no nae au ma na maka o Iehova, O ko'u Akua hoi oia ko'u ikaika.
6He says: “It is not enough for You to be My Servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the protected ones of Israel. I will also make You a light for the nations, to bring My salvation to the ends of the earth.”
6I mai la ia, He mea uuku ia e lilo oe i kauwa na'u, E hooku mai i na ohana o ka Iakoba, A e hoihoi i ka poe i malamaia o ka Iseraela; E haawi no hoi au ia oe i malamalama no ko na aina e, I lilo oe i mea hoola aku no'u, ma na kukulu o ka honua,
7Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, to Him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the Servant of rulers: “Kings will see You and rise, and princes will bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen You.”
7Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, Ka Hoolapanai o ka Iseraela, kona mea Hemolele hoi, I ka mea i hoowahawahaia e na kanaka, I ka mea a ka lahuikanaka i hoopailua ai, I ke kauwa hoi na ka poe e noho alii ana, E ike aku na'lii a e ku iluna, E kulou aku no hoi na luna, No Iehova, ka mea oiaio, ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela, Nana no e makemake aku ia oe.
8This is what the LORD says: “In the time of favor I will answer You, and in the day of salvation I will help You; I will keep You and appoint You to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land, to apportion its desolate inheritances,
8Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, I ka manawa aloha, ua hoolohe aku au ia oe, A i ka la hoola, ua kokua aku no au ia oe; A na'u hoi e malama aku ia oe, A e haawi no hoi ia oe i berita no na kanaka, I mea e paa ai ka aina, e hooili aku no hoi i na hooilina neoneo;
9to say to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’ and to those in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’ They will feed along the pathways, and find pasture on every barren hill.
9I olelo no hoi oe i ka poe i paa, E hele iwaho, A i ka poe ma ka pouli, E hoike ia oukou iho. E ai no lakou ma na alanui, A ma na puu a pau ka lakou ai.
10They will not hunger or thirst, nor will scorching heat or sun beat down on them. For He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.
10Aole lakou e pololi, aole e makewai; Aole e hahau mai ka wela, a me ka la ia lakou; No ka mea, o ka mea aloha ia lakou, nana lakou e alakai, E alakai aku no oia ia lakou i na waipuna.
11I will turn all My mountains into roads, and My highways will be raised up.
11E hoolilo ana no au i ko'u mau kuahiwi a pau, i alanui, A e hookiekieia hoi ko'u mau kuamoo.
12Behold, they will come from far away, from the north and from the west, and from the land of Aswan.”
12Aia hoi, e hele mai no keia poe, ma kahi loihi mai; Aia hoi, o keia poe, mai ke kukulu akau, a mai ke komohana mai; A o keia poe hoi, mai ka aina o Sinima mai.
13Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; break forth in song, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted His people, and He will have compassion on His afflicted ones.
13E oli oukou, e na lani, e hauoli hoi, e ka honua; E hookani i ke oli, e na mauna; No ka mea, ua hoomaha mai o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, A e aloha mai no hoi ia i kona poe i hoopilikiaia.
14But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me; the Lord has forgotten me!”
14Aka, ua olelo mai o Ziona, Ua haalele o Iehova ia'u, Ua hoopoina hoi ko'u Haku ia'u.
15“Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the son of her womb? Even if she could forget, I will not forget you!
15E hiki anei i ka wahine ke hoopoina i kana keiki aiwaiu, I ole ia e aloha aku i ke keiki a kona opu? Oia, e hiki no ia lakou ke hoopoina. Aka, aole au e hoopoina ia oe.
16Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever before Me.
16Aia hoi, ua kahakaha au ia oe ma na poho lima o'u; Ua mau loa no kou mau papohaku ma ko'u alo.
17Your builders hasten back; your destroyers and wreckers depart from you.
17E hiki wawe no kau mau keiki; O ka poe nana oe i pepehi, A me ka poe i hooneoneo ia oe, e puka aku no lakou mawaho ou.
18Lift up your eyes and look around. They all gather together; they come to you. As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “you will wear them all as jewelry and put them on like a bride.
18E alawa ae oe i kou mau maka mao, a mao, e nana hoi; Akoakoa mai lakou a pau, a hele mai iou la. Me au e ola nei, wahi a Iehova, E aahu io no oe ia lakou a pau me he kahiko la, A e kakoo hoi ia lakou, e like me ka wahine mare.
19For your ruined and desolate places and your ravaged land will now indeed be too small for your people, and those who devoured you will be far away.
19No ka mea, o kou mau wahi mehameha, a neoneo, A me ka aina o kou luku ana, E pilikia ana no ia, no ka nui o ka poe e noho ana; A e loihi lilo aku no hoi ka poe i ale ia oe.
20Yet the children of your bereavement will say in your hearing, ‘This place is too small for us; make room for us to live here.’
20O na keiki o kou pa ana, e olelo no lakou ma kou mau pepeiao, Ua pilikia au i keia wahi, E haawi mai ia'u i wahi e noho ai au.
21Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who has begotten these for me? I was bereaved and barren; I was exiled and rejected. So who has reared them? Look, I was left all alone, so where did they come from?’”
21Alaila, e olelo iho no oe ma kou naau, Nawai i hoohanau mai i keia poe na'u? Nele au i ka'u mau keiki, a mehameha, He pio no. e kuewa aku ana; Nawai i hoonui mai i keia poe? Aia hoi, ua waiho wale ia au, mahea hoi lakou nei?
22This is what the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and raise My banner to the peoples. They will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders.
22Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ka Haku penei, Aia hoi, e hapai no wau i ko'u lima no ko na aina e, A e kau no wau i ko'u hae no na lahuikanaka; A e lawe mai no lakou i kau poe keikikane ma ka poli, A e kaikaiia kau mau kaikamahine, ma na poohiwi.
23Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow to you facedown and lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in Me will never be put to shame.”
23A e lilo na'lii i poe makuakane hanai nou, A o na wahine alii a lakou, i poe makuwahine hanai nou; A e kulou ilalo i ka honua ko lakou maka imua ou, A e palu iho lakou i ka lepo o kou mau wawae; A e ike auanei oe, owau no Iehova; No ka mea, o ka poe e kali ia'u, aole lakou e hilahila.
24Can the plunder be snatched from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?
24E kailiia'ku anei ka waiwai pio, mai ka poe ikaika aku? E hoopakeleia'nei ke pio i lawe pono ia?
25Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Even the captives of the mighty will be taken away, and the plunder of the tyrant will be retrieved; I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.
25Aka, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E kailiia'ku no na pio o ka poe ikaika, A e hoopakeleia ka waiwai i pio, mai ka poe hooweliweli mai; No ka mea, e paio aku au i ka mea i paio pu me oe, A e hoola no wau i kau poe keiki.
26I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
26O ka poe hooluhi aku ia oe, E hanai aku au ia lakou i ko lakou io iho, A e ona auanei lakou i ko lakou koko iho, e like me ka waina hou; A e ike no na mea io a pau, owau no Iehova, O kou Ola, a me kou Hoolapanai, Ka Mea mana hoi o ka Iakoba.
