Isaia 40
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1E HOOMAHA aku, e hoomaha aku oukou i ko'u poe kanaka, Wahi a ke Akua o oukou.
1Be comforted, be comforted, my people, saith your God.
2E olelo hoomaha aku i ko Ierusalema, E kahea aku hoi ia ia, ua pau kona kaua ana, Ua kalaia hoi kona hala; No ka mea, ma ka lima o Iehova, Ua loaa papalua ia ia no na hewa ona a pau.
2Speak ye to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her: for her evil is come to an end, her iniquity is forgiven: she hath received of the hand of the Lord double for all her sins.
3Ka leo o ka mea e kala ana, ma ka waonahele, E hoomakaukau oukou i alanui no Iehova, E hoopololei hoi ma ka waoakua, I kuamoo no ko kakou Akua.
3The voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the wilderness the paths of our God.
4E hoopihaia'na na awawa a pau, A e hoohaahaaia'na na mauna a pau, a me na puu; E lilo no ka mea kekee i pololei, A me kahi puupuu i laumania.
4Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough ways plain.
5E hoikeia mai no ka nani o Iehova, A e ike pu aku no na kanaka a pau; No ka mea, na ka waha o Iehova i olelo mai.
5And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh together shall see, that the mouth of the Lord hath spoken.
6I mai la ka leo, E kala aku. I aku la ia, Heaha ka'u o kala'i? He mauu no na kanaka a pau, Ua like hoi kona nani a pau me ka pua o ke kula;
6The voice of one, saying: Cry. And I said: What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the glory thereof as the flower of the held.
7Mimino ka mauu, a mae wale ka pua, Ke pa mai ka makani o Iehova maluna ona; He oiaio no, he mauu keia poe kanaka.
7The grass is withered, and the dower is fallen, because the spirit of the Lord hath blown upon it. Indeed the people is grass:
8Mimino ka mauu, a mae wale ka pua; Aka, o ka olelo a ko kakou Akua, e kupaa mau loa no ia.
8The grass is withered, and the flower is fallen: but the word of our Lord endureth for ever.
9E ka mea hai i ka olelo maikai no Ziona, E pii aku oe iluna o ka mauna kiekie; E ka mea hai i ka olelo maikai no Ierusalema, E hookiekie oe i kou leo me ka ikaika; E hookiekie hoi, mai makau; E olelo ae i na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, Aia hoi ko oukou Akua!
9Get thee up upon a high mountain, thou that bringest good tidings to Sion: lift up thy voice with strength, thou that bringest good tidings to Jerusalem: lift it up, fear not. Say to the cities of Juda: Behold your God:
10Aia hoi, e hele mai ana ka Haku, o Iehova me ka ikaika, Na kona lima no e malama ia; Aia hoi, me ia pu no kana uku mai, A o kana ukuhuna hoi ma kona alo.
10Behold the Lord God shall come with strength, and his arm shall rule: Behold his reward is with him and his work is before him.
11E hanai no oia i kana ohana me he kahuhipa la; E hoiliili no hoi i na keikihipa i kona lima, A hiipoi hoi ia lakou ma kona poli, A alakai i ka poe hanai waiu.
11He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather together the lambs with his arm, and shall take them up in his bosom, and he himself shall carry them that are with young.
12Owai ka mea i ana i na wai maloko o ka poho o kona lima? A ana aku hoi i na lani ma ke kikoo, A ana no hoi i ka lepo o ka honua iloko o ka mea ana, A kaupaona i na kuahiwi ma na mea kaupaona, A me na mauna hoi maloko o na paonakaulike?
12Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and weighed the heavens with his palm? who hath poised with three fingers the bulk of the earth, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13Owai ka mea i alakai i ka Uhane o Iehova, A noho i kakaolelo nona, a ao aku ia ia?
13Who hath forwarded the spirit of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor, and hath taught him?
14Me wai la oia i kukakuka pu ai? Nawai hoi i ao aku ia ia, A kuhikuhi hoi ia ia i ke ia ala o ka pono, A hoike aku ia ia i ke ala o ka naauao?
14With whom hath he consulted, and who hath instructed him, and taught him the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and shewed him the way of understanding?
15Aia hoi, ua like na lahuikanaka, me ke kulu hookahi o ka bakeke, A ua manaoia hoi o like me ka huna lepo uuku maloko o na mea kaulike; Kaikai oia i na aina me he mea uuku la.
15Behold the Gentiles are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the smallest grain of a balance: behold the islands are as a little dust.
16Aole i nui o Lebanona i mea puhi, Aole hoi i nui kolaila holoholona, i mea mohaikuni.
16And Libanus shall not be enough to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
17Me he mea ole la na lahuikanaka a pau imua ona, A ua manaoia lakou e ia ua uuku iho i ka ole, He mea lapuwale loa hoi.
17All nations are before him as if they had no being at all, and are counted to him as nothing, and vanity.
18Me wai oukou e hoohalike ai i ke Akua? Heaha ka mea like, e hoohalike ai oukou me ia?
18To whom then have you likened God? or what image will you make for him?
19O ka mea hana, hoohehee no oia i akuakii, A o ka mea hana gula, hohola ae la oia i ke gula maluna o ia mea, A hana hoi i na kaula kala.
19Hath the workman cast a graven statue? or hath the goldsmith formed it with gold, or the silversmith with plates of silver?
20A o ka mea loaa ole ka mohai no ka hune, Wae no oia i wahi laau popo ole; A imi aku la i kahuna akamai i ka hana, Nana e hoomakaukau i akuakii kalaiia naueue ole.
20He hath chosen strong wood, and that will not rot: the skillful workman seeketh how he may set up an idol that may not be moved.
21Aole anei oukou i ike, aole hoi i lohe? Aole anei i haiia mai ia oukou mai kinohi mai? Aole anei oukou i hoomaopopo, mai ka hookumu ana o ka honua?
21Do you not know? hath it not been heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have you not understood the foundations of the earth?
22Oia no ke noho ma ka poai o ka honua, A ua like hoi kolaila poe e noho ana me na uhini; Nana no e hoopalahalaha aku na lani me he paku la, A hohola no hoi lakou me he hale lole la, kahi e noho ai.
22It is he that sitteth upon the globe of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as locusts: he that stretcheth out the heavens as nothing, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.
23Oia ke hoolilo i na'lii i mea ole, A me na lunakanawai o ka honua, me he mea lapuwale la.
23He that bringeth the searchers of secrets to nothing, that hath made the judges of the earth as vanity.
24He oiaio, aole lakou e kanuia, Ho oiaio, aole lakou e luluia, He oiaio, aole e paa ka lakou kumu maloko o ka honua; A e puhi mai Oia maluna o lakou, a e mae wale lakou, A e lawe no ka puahiohio ia lakou me he opala la.
24And surely their stock was neither planted, nor sown, nor rooted in the earth: suddenly he hath blown upon them, and they are withered, and a whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
25Me wai la hoi oukou e hoohalike ai ia'u? A e like au me wai? wahi a ka Mea Hemolele.
25And to whom have ye likened me, or made me equal, saith the Holy One?
26E alawa ae i ko oukou mau maka iluna, E nana hoi i ka Mea nana i hana i kela mau mea, Alakai aku no oia i ko lakou lehulehu a pau ma ka helu ana. Hea aku no oia ia lakou a pau ma ka iuoa, No ka nui loa o kona mana, a me ka mana loa o kona ikaika; Aohe mea o lakou i nalowale.
26Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these things: who bringeth out their host by number, and calleth them all by their names: by the greatness of his might, and strength, and power, not one of them was missing.
27No ke aha la oe e olelo ai, o Iakoba, A kamailio iho, e ka Iseraela, Ua hunaia ko'u ala, mai o Iehova aku, Ua hoaloia ko'u hoaponoia mai ko'u Akua aku?
27Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel: My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28Aole anei oe i ike, aole anei oe i lohe? O ke Akua mau loa o Iehova, O ka mea nana i hana i na kukulu o ka honua; Aole ia e maule, aole hoi e luhi; Aohe mea e hiki ke hoomaopopo i kona ike.
28Knowest thou not, or hast thou not heard? the Lord is the everlasting God, who hath created the ends of the earth: he shall not faint, nor labour, neither is there any searching out of his wisdom.
29Nana no i haawi i ka ikaika i ka mea i maule; A o ka mea ikaika ole, hoomahuahua no ia i ka ikaika.
29It is he that giveth strength to the weary, and increaseth force and might to them that are not.
30E maule auanei ka poe ui, a e maloeloe hoi, E kulanalana loa no na kanaka hou:
30Youths shall faint, and labour, and young men shall fall by infirmity.
31Aka, o ka poe hilinai aku ia Iehova, e ulu hou no ko lakou ikaika; E pii eheu aku no lakou iluna, e liko me na aito; E holo no lakou, aole hoi e maloeloe, E hele mua no lakou, aole hoi e maule.
31But they that hope in the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall take wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
