Isaia 59
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1A IA hoi, aole i pokole ka lima o Iehova, I mea e ole ai ia e hoola; Aole hoi i kaumaha kona pepeiao, I mea e ole ai ia e hoolohe;
1Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear.
2Aka, ua kaupale no ko oukou mau hewa mawaena o oukou, a me ko oukou Akua, A ua huna ko oukou mau hala i kona maka, mai o oukou aku, I ole oia e hoolohe mai.
2But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.
3No ka mea, ua paumaele ko oukou mau lima i ke koko, A me ko oukou manamana lima i ka hewa; Ua olelo no ko oukou mau lehelehe i ka wahahee, A ua olelo ko oukou alelo i ka hewa.
3For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters injustice.
4Aohe mea i hea aku ma ka pono, Aohe mea hooponopono ma ka oiaio. Hilinai no lakou ma ka lapuwale, a olelo no hoi i ka wahahee; Hapai no lakou, he kolohe, a hanau mai hoi, he hewa.
4No one calls for justice; no one pleads his case honestly. They rely on empty pleas; they tell lies; they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
5Hoomoe no lakou i na hua o na moopepeiaohao, A ulana lakou i ka punawelewele o ka lanalana: O ka mea ai i ka lakou hua, make no ia, A i ka wa i hoopepeia'i ia, puka mai no he moonihoawa.
5They hatch the eggs of vipers and weave a spider’s web. Whoever eats their eggs will die; crack one open, and a viper is hatched.
6Aole e lilo ana ko lakou punawelewele i aahu, Aole hoi lakou e uhi ia lakou iho i ka lakou hana. O ka lakou mau hana, he mau hana ia no ka hewa, Aia ma ko lakou lima ka hana hookaumaha.
6Their cobwebs cannot be made into clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their deeds are sinful deeds, and acts of violence are in their hands.
7Holo no ko lakou wawae i ka hewa, A hoowikiwiki lakou i ka hookahe koko hala ole; O ko lakou mau kuka, he mau kuka no ka hewa; Aia no ka luku, a me ka make ma ko lakou kuamoo.
7Their feet run to evil; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful thoughts; ruin and destruction lie in their wake.
8Aole lakou ike i ka aoao o ka malu, Aole hoi ho pono ma ko lakou hele ana; Ua hana lakou i ala kekee no lakou; O ka mea hele malaila, aole ia e ike i ka malu.
8The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their tracks. They have turned them into crooked paths; no one who treads on them will know peace.
9Nolaila, ua loihi ka pono mai o makou aku, Aole hahai ka hooponopono ia makou a loaa; Kakali no makou i ka malamalama, aia hoi, he pouli; A i ke alohilohi hoi, aka, ke hele nei makou ma ka poeleele.
9Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We hope for light, but there is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10Ke kolo nei makou e hana i ka pa, me he makapo la, Ke kolo nei no makou, me he mea maka ole la, Kulanalana makou i ke awakea, e like me ka po; Me he poe make la, maloko o na wahi momona.
10Like the blind, we feel our way along the wall, groping like those without eyes. We stumble at midday as in the twilight; among the vigorous we are like the dead.
11Uwo no makou a pau, e like me na bea, A kaniuhu nui no hoi, e like me na manu nunu. Kakali no makou i ka hoopono, aole hoi, A i ke ola hoi, a ua mamao aku ia mai o makou aku.
11We all growl like bears and moan like doves. We hope for justice, but find none, for salvation, but it is far from us.
12No ka mea, ua hoonuia ko makou hewa imua ou, A o ko makou hewa ka mea hoike ku e ia makou; No ka mea, me makou no ko makou hewa, A ua ike hoi makou i ko makou hala;
12For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us. Our transgressions are indeed with us, and we know our iniquities:
13I ke kipi ana, a i ka hoole ana ia Iehova, I ka huli ana hoi, mai ka hahai ana i ko makou Akua, E kamailio ana i ka alunu, a me ka hoi hope, E manao ana a e hai ana hoi, mai loko aku o ka naau i na olelo wahahee.
13rebelling and denying the LORD, turning away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering lies from the heart.
14A ua hoohuli hope ia ka hoopono, Ua ku mamao aku ka pono: No ka mea, ua hina ka oiaio ma ke alanui, Aole hoi e hiki i ka pololei ke komo mai.
14So justice is turned away, and righteousness stands at a distance. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter.
15Oia, ua nele i ka oiaio; A o ka mea haalele i ka hewa, ua hoopioia; Ike mai no o Iehova, a huhu mai la ia, no ka mea, aohe pono.
15Truth is missing, and whoever turns from evil becomes prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice.
16Ike iho la ia, aohe kanaka, A haohao mai la ia, no ka mea, aohe mea nana e uwao: Nolaila, no kona lima no i hoola mai nona iho, Na kona pono hoi i hookupaa ia ia.
16He saw that there was no man; He was amazed that there was no one to intercede. So His own arm brought salvation, and His own righteousness sustained Him.
17No ka mea, hookomo ia i ka pono me he paleumauma la, A me ka mahiole o ke ola ma kona poo; A hookomo no hoi oia i ka lole o ka hoopai ana, i aahu nona, A aahuia oia i ka manao ikaika, me he holoku la.
17He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on His head; He put on garments of vengeance and wrapped Himself in a cloak of zeal.
18E like me na hana, pela no oia e hoouku ai, O ka inaina i ka poe ku e ia ia; E hoopai no oia i kona poe enemi; E hoouku no oia i ko na aina e.
18So He will repay according to their deeds: fury to His enemies, retribution to His foes, and recompense to the islands.
19A e makau no lakou i ka inoa o Iehova, mai ke komohana mai, A i kona nani hoi, mai ka puka ana a ka la mai; I ka wa e komo mai ai ia e like me ke kahawai haiki, Na ka Uhane o Iehova e kau ana i ka hae ku e.
19So shall they fear the name of the LORD where the sun sets, and His glory where it rises. For He will come like a raging flood, driven by the breath of the LORD.
20A e hele mai no ka Hoolapanai i Ziona, A i ka poe no hoi i huli, mai ka hewa mai, mawaena o ka Iakoba, wahi a Iehova.
20“The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,” declares the LORD.
21Owau hoi, eia ka'u berita me lakou, wahi a Iehova; O kuu Uhane, ka mea maluna ou, A me ka'u mau olelo, a'u i waiho ai iloko o kou waha, Aole e haalele ia mau mea i kou waha, Aole hoi i ka waha o kau mau keiki, Aole hoi i ka waha o na keiki a kau mau keiki, Mai keia wa aku, a i ke ao pau ole, Wahi a Iehova.
21“As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit will not depart from you, and My words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth or from the mouths of your children and grandchildren, from now on and forevermore,” says the LORD.
