Isaiah 44
1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
E HOOLOHE mai oe ano, e Iakoba, ka'u kauwa, A me ka Iseraela, ka mea a'u i wae ai:
2 Thus says the LORD that made you, and formed you from the womb, which will help you; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and you, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
Penei 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.
3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon your seed, and my blessing upon your offspring:
No 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.
4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
A ulu no lakou iwaena o ka mauu, E like me na wilou ma na wai kahe.
5 One shall say, I am the LORD's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.
E 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.
6 Thus says the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Penei 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.
7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show unto them.
Owai 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.
8 Fear all of you not, neither be afraid: have not I told you from that time, and have declared it? all of you are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Mai 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.
9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
O 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,
10 Who has formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
Owai ka mea i hana i akua, a hoohehee hoi i kiikalaiia, I ka mea ole hoi?
11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
Aia 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.
12 The smith with the tongs both works in the coals, and fashions it with hammers, and works it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength fails: he drinks no water, and is faint.
Lalau 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.
13 The carpenter stretches out his rule; he marks it out with a line; he fits it with planes, and he marks it out with the compass, and makes it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
Huki 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.
14 He hews him down cedars, and takes the cypress and the oak, which he strengthens for himself among the trees of the forest: he plants an ash, and the rain does nourish it.
Kua 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.
15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindles it, and bakes bread; yea, he makes a god, and worships it; he makes it a graven image, and falls down thereto.
A 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!
16 He burns part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eats flesh; he roasts roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warms himself, and says, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
Puhi 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!
17 And the residue thereof he makes a god, even his graven image: he falls down unto it, and worships it, and prays unto it, and says, Deliver me; for you are my god.
A 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.
18 They have not known nor understood: for he has shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
Aole 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.
19 And none considers in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
Aole 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?
20 He feeds on ashes: a deceived heart has turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
Ai 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?
21 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for you are my servant: I have formed you; you are my servant: O Israel, you shall not be forgotten of me.
E 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.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed you.
E 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.
23 Sing, O all of you heavens; for the LORD has done it: shout, all of you lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, all of you mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
E 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.
24 Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, and he that formed you from the womb, I am the LORD that makes all things; that stretches forth the heavens alone; that spreads abroad the earth by myself;
Ke 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;
25 That frustrates the tokens of the liars, and makes diviners mad; that turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolish;
Ka 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:
26 That confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers; that says to Jerusalem, You shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, All of you shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:
Ka 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;
27 That says to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up your rivers:
Ka mea i olelo i ka hohonu, E maloo oe, A e hoomaloo no wau i kou mau muliwai;
28 That says of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, You shall be built; and to the temple, Your foundation shall be laid.
Ka 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.
