Isaia 44
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1E HOOLOHE mai oe ano, e Iakoba, ka'u kauwa, A me ka Iseraela, ka mea a'u i wae ai:
1And now hear, O Jacob, my servant, and Israel whom I have chosen.
2Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova, ka mea nana oe i hana, A hana ia oe ma ka opu, ka mea o kokua ana ia oe; Mai makau oe, e Iakoba, ka'u kauwa, A o oe hoi, e Iesuruna, ka mea a'u i wae ai.
2Thus saith the Lord that made and formed thee, thy helper from the womb: Fear not, O my servant Jacob, and thou most righteous whom I have chosen.
3No ka mea, e ninini aku au i ka wai maluna o ku mea i makewai, A me na waikahe maluna o na aina maloo: E ninini aku au i ko'u Uhane maluna o kau pua, A me ko'u hoopomaikai maluna o kau poe mamo.
3For I will pour out waters upon the thirsty ground, and streams upon the dry land: I will pour out my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thy stock.
4A ulu no lakou iwaena o ka mauu, E like me na wilou ma na wai kahe.
4And they shall spring up among the herbs, as willows beside the running waters.
5E olelo no kekahi, No Iehova au; A e kapaia kekahi ma ka inoa o Iakoba; A e kakau kekahi ma kona lima, No Iehova au, A hea aka ia ma ka inoa o ka Iseraela.
5One shall say: I am the Lord’s, and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob, and another shall subscribe with his hand, To the Lord, and surname himself by the name of Israel.
6Penei o Iehova i olelo mai ai, o ke alii hoi o ka Iseraela, A o kona Hoolapanai, o Iehova o na kaua; Owau no ka mea mua, owau no ka mea hope, Aohe Akua e ae, owau wale no.
6Thus saith the Lord the king of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts: I am the brat, and I am the last, and besides me there is no God.
7Owai hoi ka mea like me au nei, e kala aku, A hai mua, a hoonohonoho pono no'u, Mai ka wa mai o ko'u hoonoho ana i ka lahuikanaka kahiko? I na mea hoi e kokoke mai ana, a me na mea e hiki mai ana mahope, E hai mai lakou ia mau mea ia lakou.
7Who is like to me? let him call and declare: and let him set before me the order, since I appointed the ancient people: and the things to come, and that shall be hereafter, let them shew unto them.
8Mai makau oukou, mai hopohopo hoi; Aole anei au i hai aku ia oe, mai ia manawa mai, Aole anei au i hooikeike aku? O oukou no ko'u poe hoike. He Akua e anei kekahi, ke kaawale au? Aohe Pohaku, aohe mea a'u i ike ai.
8Fear ye not, neither be ye troubled, from that time I have made thee to hear, and have declared: you are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me, a maker, whom I have not known?
9O ka poe hana i ke kiikalaiia, ua lapuwale lakou a pau, Aole lakou e pomaikai ma ko lakou mea i manao nui ia. O lakou no ko lakou mau hoike iho; Aole lakou i nana, aole hoi i ike, i hilabila lakou,
9The makers of idols are all of them nothing, and their best beloved things shall not profit them. They are their witnesses, that they do not see, nor understand, that they may be ashamed.
10Owai ka mea i hana i akua, a hoohehee hoi i kiikalaiia, I ka mea ole hoi?
10Who hath formed a god, and made a graven thing that is profitable for nothing?
11Aia hoi, e hilahila auanei kona poe hoa a pau; A o ka poe paahana, no kanaka lakou; E akoakoa mai lakou a pau, e ku hoi iluna, E makau no lakou, a e hoopalaimaka pu.
11Behold, all the partakers thereof shall be confounded: for the makers are men: they shall all assemble together, they shall stand and fear, and shall be confounded together.
12Lalau aku no ka amara i ka mea hana, A hana oia maloko o ka lanahu, A hooponopono me na hamare, A hana oia ia mea me ka ikaika o kona lima; Pau kona ikaika no ka pololi, aole ikaika, Aole ia i inu i ka wai, a ua maloeloe.
12The smith hath wrought with his file, with coals, and with hammers he hath formed it, and hath wrought with the strength of his arm: he shall hunger and faint, he shall drink no water, and shall be weary.
13Huki ae la ke kamana i ke kaula a hailona iho la i ka alaea; A hana no hoi oia ia mea me na koikahi, A hailona no hoi i ka upa, A hana no hoi oia ia mea, e like me ke kii kanaka, Ma ko ke kanaka nani, i mea e noho mau ai iloko o ka hale.
13The carpenter hath stretched out his rule, he hath formed it with a plane: he hath made it with corners, and hath fashioned it round with the compass: and he hath made the image of a man as it were a beautiful man dwelling in a house.
14Kua no oia ilalo i na laau kedera nona, A lalau no oia i ke tireza, a me ka oka, A lawe iho la nona iho, noloko mai o na laau o ka ululaau; Kanu no oia i ka paina, a na ka ua no e hooulu.
14He hath cut down cedars, taken the holm, and the oak that stood among the trees of the forest: he hath planted the pine tree, which the rain hath nourished.
15A lilo no ia no ke kanaka e puhi ai, A lawe no oia ia, a hoomahanahana ia ia iho; Oia, hoa no oia i ke ahi, a pulehu i ka palaoa; Oia, hana no oia i akua, a hoomana aku la! Hana no oia ia mea, i kiikalaiia, a moe iho la imua ona!
15And it hath served men for fuel: he took thereof, and warmed himself: and he kindled it, and baked bread: but of the rest he made a god, and adored it: he made a graven thing, and bowed down before it.
16Puhi no oia i kauwahi ma ke ahi, A maluna o kauwahi, ai no oia i ka io, Ohinu no oia i ka mea ohinu, a ua maona hoi; Oia, hoomahanahana no oia ia ia iho, a olelo ae la, Ka! ua mahana au, ua ike au i ke ahi!
16Part of it he burnt with fire, and with part of it he dressed his meat: he boiled pottage, and was filled, and was warmed, and said: Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire.
17A i ke koena o ia mea, hana no oia i akua, i kona kiikalaiia hoi! A moe iho no imua ona, a hoomana aku la, A pule aku no ia ia la, me ka olelo aku, E hoopakele mai oe ia'u, no ka mea, o oe no ko'u akua.
17But the residue thereof he made a god, and a graven thing for himself: he boweth down before it, and adoreth it, and prayeth unto it, saying: Deliver me, for thou art my God.
18Aole lakou i ike, aole hoi i hoomaopopo; Ua hoopili oia i ko lakou mau maka, i ike ole lakou, A me ko lakou mau naau, i hoomaopopo ole lakou.
18They have not known, nor understood: for their eyes are covered that they may not see, and that they may not understand with their heart.
19Aole ia i noonoo ma kona naau, Aohe hoi ona ike, a me ka naauao e olelo ai, Ua puhi au i kauwahi maloko o ke ahi; Oia no, ua pulehu au i ka palaoa ma na lanahu ona, Ua ohinu au i ka io, a ua ai iho; A e hoolilo anei au i ke koena o ia mea, i mea hoopailua? A e kulou anei au i ka pauku laau?
19They do not consider in their mind, nor know, nor have the thought to say: I have burnt part of it in the fire, and I have baked bread upon the coals thereof: I have broiled flesh and have eaten, and of the residue thereof shall I make an idol? shall I fall down before the stock of a tree?
20Ai no oia i ka lehu; Alakai hewa ka naau walewale ia ia, Aole hiki ia ia ke hoopakele i kona uhane, aole hoi e olelo, Aole anei he wahahee ma ko'u lima akau?
20Part thereof is ashes: his foolish heart adoreth it, and he will not save his soul, nor say: Perhaps there is a lie in my right hand.
21E hoomanao i keia mau men, e ka Iakoba, a me ka Iseraela, No ka mea, o oe no ka'u kauwa; Na'u no oe i hana, o oe no ka'u kauwa; E ka Iseruela, aole oe e hoopoinaia e au.
21Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for thou art my servant. I have formed thee, thou art my servant, O Israel, forget me not.
22E hoopau no wau i kou hewa e like me ke ao eleele, A me kou hala hoi, me he ohu la; E hoi mai oe ia'u, no ka mea, ua hoolapanai aku au ia oe.
22I have blotted out thy iniquities as a cloud, and thy sins as a mist: return to me, for I have redeemed thee.
23E oli oukou, e na lani, no ka mea, na Iehova i hana; E hauoli hoi oukou, e na wahi haahaa o ka honua, E hookani i ke oli, e na mauna, E ka ululaau, a me na laau a pau maloko; No ka mea, ua hoolapanai o Iehova i ka Iakoba, Ua hoonani hoi ia ia iho ma o ka Iseraela la.
23Give praise, O ye heavens, for the Lord hath shewn mercy: shout with joy, ye ends of the earth: ye mountains, resound with praise, thou, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and Israel shall be glorified.
24Ke i mai nei o Iehova, kou Hoolapanai, Ka mea hoi nana oe i hana ma ka opu, Owau, o Iehova, ka mea nana i hana na mea a pau; Ka mea nana i hohola na lani, owau wale; A hoopalahalaha hoi i ka honua, owau wale no;
24Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, and thy maker, from the womb: I am the Lord, that make all things, that alone stretch out the heavens, that establish the earth, and there is none with me.
25Ka mea hookahuli i na ouli o ka poe wahahee, A hoohilahila hoi i ka poe kilokilo; Ka mea alakai hope i ka poe akamai, A hoolapuwale i ko lakou naauao:
25That make void the tokens of diviners, and make the soothsayers mad. That turn the wise backward, and that, make their knowledge foolish.
26Ka mea hookupaa i ka olelo a kana kauwa, A hooko hoi i ka manao ao o kona poe elele; Ka mea olelo ia Ierusalema, E noho hou ia oe, A i na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, E hana hou ia no oukou, A na'u no e hoala hou i kolaila mau wahi i hooneoneoia;
26That raise up the word of my servant and perform the counsel of my messengers, who say to Jerusalem: Thou shalt be inhabited: and to the cities of Juda: You shall be built, and I will raise up the wastes thereof.
27Ka mea i olelo i ka hohonu, E maloo oe, A e hoomaloo no wau i kou mau muliwai;
27Who say to the deep: Be thou desolate, and I will dry up thy rivers.
28Ka mea olelo no Kuro, Oia ka'u kahuhipa, Nana no e hana i ko'u makemake a pau; Ka mea i olelo ia Ierusalema, e hana hou ia no oe, A i ka luakini hoi, E hookumuia hoi oe.
28Who say to Cyrus: Thou art my shepherd, and thou shalt perform all my pleasure. Who say to Jerusalem: Thou shalt be built: and to the temple: Thy foundations shall be laid.
