1Give ear, ye islands, and hearken, ye people from afar. The Lord hath called me from the womb, from the bowels of my mother he hath been mindful of my name.
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.
2And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword: in the shadow of his hand he hath protected me, and hath made me as a chosen arrow: in his quiver he hath hidden me.
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,
3And he said to me: Thou art my servant Israel, for in thee will I glory.
3Ua olelo mai oia ia'u, O oe no ka'u kauwa, O Iseraela hoi oe, ka mea a'u e hoonaniia'i.
4And I said: I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength without cause and in vain: therefore my judgment is with the Lord, and my work 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 saith the Lord, that formed me from the womb to be his servant, that I may bring back Jacob unto him, and Israel will not be gathered together: and I am glorified in the eyes of the Lord, and my God is made 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.
6And he said: It is a small thing that thou shouldst be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to convert the dregs of Israel. Behold, I have given thee to be the light of the Gentiles, that thou mayst be my salvation even to the farthest part 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 saith the Lord the redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to the soul that is despised, to the nation that is abhorred, to the servant of rulers: Kings shall see, and princes shall rise up, and adore for the Lord’s sake, because he is faithful, and for the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee.
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.
8Thus saith the Lord: In an acceptable time I have heard thee, and in the day of salvation I have helped thee: and I have preserved thee, and given thee to be a covenant of the people, that thou mightest raise up the earth, and possess the inheritances that were destroyed:
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;
9That thou mightest say to them that are bound: Come forth: and to them that are in darkness: Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in every plain.
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 shall not hunger, nor thirst, neither shall the heat nor the sun strike them: for he that is merciful to them, shall be their shepherd, and at the fountains of waters he shall give them drink.
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.
11And I will make all my mountains a way, and my paths shall be exalted.
11E hoolilo ana no au i ko'u mau kuahiwi a pau, i alanui, A e hookiekieia hoi ko'u mau kuamoo.
12Behold these shall come from afar, and behold these from the north and from the sea, and these from the south country.
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.
13Give praise, O ye heavens, and rejoice, O earth, ye mountains, give praise with jubilation: because the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy on his poor 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.
14And Sion said: The Lord hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.
14Aka, ua olelo mai o Ziona, Ua haalele o Iehova ia'u, Ua hoopoina hoi ko'u Haku ia'u.
15Can a woman forget her infant, so as not to have pity on the son of her womb? and if she should forget, yet will not I forget thee.
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 graven thee in my hands: thy walls are always before my eyes.
16Aia hoi, ua kahakaha au ia oe ma na poho lima o'u; Ua mau loa no kou mau papohaku ma ko'u alo.
17Thy builders are come: they that destroy thee and make thee waste shall go out of thee.
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 thy eyes round about, and see all these are gathered together, they are come to thee: I live, saith the Lord, thou shalt be clothed with all these as with an ornament, and as a bride thou shalt put them about thee.
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 thy deserts, and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction shall now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be chased 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.
20The children of thy barrenness shall still say in thy ears: The place is too strait for me, make me room to dwell in.
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.
21And thou shalt-say in thy heart: Who hath begotten these? I was barren and brought not forth, led away, and captive: and who hath brought up these? I was destitute and alone: and these, where were they?
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?
22Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and will set up my standard to the people. And they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and carry thy daughters upon 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.
23And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and queens thy nurses: they shall worship thee with their face toward the earth, and they shall lick up the dust of thy feet. And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, for they shall not be confounded that wait for him.
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.
24Shall the prey be taken from the strong? or can that which was taken by the mighty be delivered?
24E kailiia'ku anei ka waiwai pio, mai ka poe ikaika aku? E hoopakeleia'nei ke pio i lawe pono ia?
25For thus saith the Lord: Yea verily, even the captivity shall be taken away from the strong: and that which was taken by the mighty, shall be delivered. But I will judge those that have judged thee, and thy children I will save.
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.
26And I will feed thy enemies with their own flesh: and they shall be made drunk with their own blood, as with new wine: and all flesh shall know, that I am the Lord that save thee, and thy 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.
