Isaia 41
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1E NOHO ekemu ole oukou, e na aina, imua o'u, E hoomahua aku na kanaka i ka ikaika: E hookokoke mai lakou, alaila e olelo mai lakou; E hookokoke pu kakou i ka hookolokolo ana.
1“Be silent before Me, O islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come forward and testify; let us together draw near for judgment.
2Na wai i hoala mai i ka mea pono, mai ka hikina mai, A kauoha hoi ia ia e hele ma kona wawae? A haawi ae la ia i na lahuikanaka imua ona, A hoonoho ia ia maluna o na'lii? A haawi hoi ia lakou e like me ka lepo imua o kana pahikana, E like hoi me ka opala lele imua o kona kakaka?
2Who has aroused one from the east and called him to his feet in righteousness ? He hands nations over to him and subdues kings before him. He turns them to dust with his sword, to windblown chaff with his bow.
3Alualu oia ia lakou, a maluhia hoi kona hele ana; Ma ke ala hoi i hahi ole ia mamua e kona mau wawae.
3He pursues them, going on safely, hardly touching the path with his feet.
4Nawai ia i hoomakaukau, a hana hoi, Me ka hea ae i na hanauna kanaka, mai kinohi mai? Owau no o Iehova, o ka mea mua, A o ka mea hope hoi, owau no ia.
4Who has performed this and carried it out, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD—the first and the last— I am He.”
5Ike mai la na aina, a makau iho la, Weliweli no na kukulu o ka honua, Hookokoke mai lakou, a hele mai la.
5The islands see and fear; the ends of the earth tremble. They approach and come forward.
6Kokua no kela mea keia mea i kona hoa, A olelo ae la i kona hoahanau, E ikaika oe.
6Each one helps the other and says to his brother, “Be strong!”
7Pela i hooikaika'i ke kahuna kalai i ka mea hana gula, A me ka mea anaanai me ka hamare i ka mea kuihao ma ke kua, I ae la, Ua makaukau ia no ke kapili ana; A hoopaa no oia ia mea i ke kui, i ole ia e naueue.
7The craftsman encourages the goldsmith, and he who wields the hammer cheers him who strikes the anvil, saying of the welding, “It is good.” He nails it down so it will not be toppled.
8Aka, o oe, e Iseraela, ka'u kauwa, O Iakoba, ka mea a'u i wae ai, Ka pua a Aberahama, ko'u hoaaloha,
8“But you, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, descendant of Abraham My friend—
9Ka mea a'u i lalau aku ai, mai na kihi mai o ka honua nei, A hea aku no ia oe, mai kona mau kukulu mai, A i aku no hoi ia oe, O oe no ka'u kauwa, Ua wae aku no wau ia oe, aole au i haalele aku ia oe.
9I brought you from the ends of the earth and called you from its farthest corners. I said, ‘You are My servant.’ I have chosen and not rejected you.
10Mai makau oe, no ka mea, owau pu no me oe; Mai weliweli hoi, no ka mea, owau no kou Akua. Na'u no i hooikaika aku ia oe, A na'u hoi oe i kokua aku; Ua hookupaa aku au ia oe i ka lima akau o ko'u pono.
10Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My right hand of righteousness.
11Aia hoi e hilahila auanei, a e hoopalaimaka hoi ka poe a pau i inaina aku ia oe; E like auanei lakou me he mea ole la, A e make no hoi ka poe kanaka e hakaka me oe.
11Behold, all who rage against you will be ashamed and disgraced; those who contend with you will be reduced to nothing and will perish.
12E imi no oe ia lakou, aole loaa lakou ia oe, O na kanaka hoi e hakaka me oe; E like ana lakou me ka mea ole, me he mea ole loa hoi, O na kanaka hoi e kaua aku ia oe.
12You will seek them but will not find them. Those who wage war against you will come to nothing.
13No ka mea, owau o Iehova, o kou Akua, ka mea i hoopaa i kou lima akau, Ka mea olelo aku ia oe, Mai makau; owau no kou mea nana e kokua.
13For I am the LORD your God, who takes hold of your right hand and tells you: Do not fear, I will help you.
14Mai makau, e ka enuhe, e Iakoba e, O oukou no hoi, e na kanaka o ka Iseraela; Na'u no oe e kokua aku, wahi a Iehova, kou Hoolapanai, Ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela.
14Do not fear, O worm of Jacob, O few men of Israel. I will help you,” declares the LORD. “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15Aia hoi, e hana no wau ia oe i mea kaapalaoa hou oioi, mea niho; A e hookaa no oe maluna o na kuahiwi, a e kui hoi ia lakou a wali, A e hoolilo no oe i na puu, i mea like me ka opala,
15Behold, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff.
16E lulu ana no oe ia lakou, a na ka makani lakou e lawe aku, A na ka puahiohio e hoopuehu aku ia lakou; Aka, e olioli no oe ia Iehova, A e hauoli hoi i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
16You will winnow them, and a wind will carry them away; a gale will scatter them. But you will rejoice in the LORD; you will glory in the Holy One of Israel.
17Imi ka poe hune, a me ka poe nele, i ka wai, a loaa ole, Ua paapaa ko lakou alelo i ka makewai, Alaila, e hoolohe au, o Iehova, i ka lakou, Owau, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, aole au e haalele ia lakou.
17The poor and needy seek water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
18E wahi au i muliwai ma na puu, I wai puna hoi maloko o na awawa; E hoolilo au i ka waonahele i kiowai, A me ka aina maloo, i wahi e huai mai ai na wai.
18I will open rivers on the barren heights, and fountains in the middle of the valleys. I will turn the desert into a pool of water, and the dry land into flowing springs.
19Ma ka waonahele, e haawi no au i ka laau kedera, I ka laau sitima hoi, a me ka hadasa, a me ka oliva; A na'u no e kanu, ma ka waoakua, i laau kaa, I tidara no hoi, a me ke teasura:
19I will plant cedars in the wilderness, acacias, myrtles, and olive trees. I will set cypresses in the desert, elms and boxwood together,
20I ike lakou, a hoomaopopo hoi, A noonoo, me ka ike lea pu, Na ka lima o Iehova i hana i keia, Na ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela ia i hoopaa.
20so that all may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the LORD has done this and the Holy One of Israel has created it.”
21E hoopii mai oukou i ko oukou mea hookolokolo, wahi a Iehova; E hoike mai i ko oukou mea e akaka ai, wahi a ke Alii o ka Iakoba.
21“Present your case,” says the LORD. “Submit your arguments,” says the King of Jacob.
22E hookokoke mai lakou, a e hoike mai hoi ia kakou i na mea e hiki mai ana; I na mea kahiko hoi, e hai mai lakou ia mau mea, I noonoo kakou ia mau mea, a ike hoi i ko lakou hope; E hai mai hoi ia kakou i na mea e hiki mai ana.
22“Let them come and tell us what will happen. Tell the former things, so that we may reflect on them and know the outcome. Or announce to us what is coming.
23A e hoomaopopo mai hoi i na mea o keia hope e hiki mai ana, Alaila e ike no makou, he mau akua no oukou: Oia e hana hoi i ka maikai, a i ka hewa paha, Alaila, makou e weliweli, a e ike pu no hoi.
23Tell us the things that are to come, so that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do something good or evil, that we may look on together in dismay.
24Aia hoi, no ka ole mai oukou, A me ka oukou hana hoi, noloko mai ia o ka ole; O ka mea makemake aku ia oukou he mea hoopailua ia.
24Behold, you are nothing and your work is of no value. Anyone who chooses you is detestable.
25Ua hoala aku au i kekahi, mai ka akau mai, a e hele io mai no ia; E kahea mai no oia i ko'u inoa, mai kahi e puka mai ai ka la; A e hele mai no oia maluna o na'lii e like me ka lepo, E like hoi me ko ka potera hahi ana i ka lepo kawili.
25I have raised up one from the north, and he has come— one from the east who calls on My name. He will march over rulers as if they were mortar, like a potter who treads the clay.
26Nawai i hoike mai, mai kinohi mai, i ike kakou? I ka wa mamua hoi, i olelo kakou, Ua pololei? Aohe mea nana i hoike, he oiaio, aohe mea nana e hoakaka mai, He oiaio no, aohe mea i lohe i ka oukou mau olelo.
26Who has declared this from the beginning, so that we may know, and from times past, so that we may say: ‘He was right’? No one announced it, no one foretold it, no one heard your words.
27Na'u ka mea mua e olelo ia Ziona, Aia hoi, e nana aku ia lakou; A na'u hoi e haawi aku ia Ierusalema i ka mea hai i ka olelo maikai.
27I was the first to tell Zion: ‘Look, here they are!’ And I gave to Jerusalem a herald of good news.
28Aka, nana aku la au, aohe hoi kanaka, A iwaena hoi o ia poe, aohe kakaolelo, A i ko'u ninau ana ia lakou, aohe mea o lakou i olelo mai.
28When I look, there is no one; there is no counselor among them; when I ask them, they have nothing to say.
29Aia hoi, he mea ole lakou a pau, He mea ole hoi ka lakou hana; He makani, he lapuwale hoi ko lakou akuakii i hooheheeia.
29See, they are all a delusion; their works amount to nothing; their images are as empty as the wind.
