< Isaiah 48 >

1 Hear all of you this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
E HOOLOHE oukou i keia, e ko ka hale o Iakoba, Ka poe i kapaia ma ka inoa o ka Iseraela, Ka poe hoi i laha mai, mai na wai o Iuda mai; Ka poe hoohiki ma ka inoa o Iehova, Ka poe hookaulana i ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aole nae me ka oiaio, aole me ka pono.
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
No ka mea, ua kapaia lakou mamulio ke kulanakauhale hoano, A hilinai lakou ma ke Akua o ka Iseraela, O Iehova o na kaua kona inoa.
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
Ua hoike aku no wau i na mea kahiko, mai kinohi mai, Mai ko'u waha i puka aku ai lakou; A na'u i hoike aku ia mau mea, Hana hoohikilele au, a hiki io mai no lakou.
4 Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow brass;
No ka mea, ike mua no au, ua paakiki oe, A o kou a-i hoi, he olona hao, A o kou lae hoi, he keleawe.
5 I have even from the beginning declared it to you; before it came to pass I showed it you: lest you should say, Mine idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
Nolaila, hai aku au ia oe i kela mea i kinohi; Mamau o kona hiki ana mai, hoikeike aku au ia oe, O olelo auanei oe, Na kuu kii i hana i keia mau mea, Na kuu kiikalaiia, a na kuu kiihooheheeia lakou i kauoha aku.
6 You have heard, see all this; and will not all of you declare it? I have showed you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.
Ua lohe no oe, e nana hoi oe ia mea a pau; Aole anei oukou e hai aku? I keia manawa, ua hai aku au ia oe i mea hou, I na mea hoi i hunaia, na mea au i ike ole ai
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when you heard them not; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.
I keia manawa lakou i hanaia'i, aole mai kela wa mai, I ka la hoi au i lohe ole ai ia mau mea, O olelo auanei oe, Aia, ike no wau ia.
8 Yea, you heard not; yea, you knew not; yea, from that time that your ear was not opened: for I knew that you would deal very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
Oia, aole oe i lohe, aole hoi oe i ike; Oia, mai ia manawa mai, aole i hoohakahakaia kou pepeiao; No ka mea, ike mua no wau e hana aua oe me ka hoopunipuni nui loa, A mai ka opu mai, ua kapaia hoi oe o Kipi.
9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I cut you not off.
No ko'u inoa no wau e hoopanee aku ai i ko'u iuaina, A no kuu nani, e hoomanawanui au ia oe, I mea e anai ole aku ai au ia oe.
10 Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
Aia hoi, ua hoohehee hoomaikai aku au ia oe, aole nae me ke kala; Ua hoao aku au ia oe ma ka umu o ka popilikia.
11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
No'u iho, no'u iho no wau e hana aku ai ia; No ka mea, e hoohaumiaia anei ko'u? Aole au e haawi i ko'u nani ia hai.
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
E hoolohe mai oe ia'u, e ka Iakoba, a me ka Iseraela hoi, ko'u mea i heaia; Owau no ia, owau ka mua, owau hoi ka hope.
13 Mine hand also has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
Oia, na ko'u lima no i hookumu i ka honua, Na kuu lima akau no i hoopalahalaha i na lani, Hea aku no au ia lakou, a ku pu mai la no lakou.
14 All you, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them has declared these things? The LORD has loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
E akoakoa oukou a pau loa, a e hoolohe: Owai ka mea o lakou i hai i keia mau mea? O ka mea a Iehova i aloha aku ai, Nana no e hana kona makemake maluna o Babulona, A e kau no kona lima maluna o ko Kaledea.
15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Owau hoi, ua olelo no owau, Oia, ua hea aku no au ia ia; A na'u hoi ia i lawe mai nei, A e hoopomaikai oia i kona hele ana.
16 Come all of you near unto me, hear all of you this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, has sent me.
E hookokoke mai oukou ia'u, e hoolohe i keia; Mai kinohi mai, aole au i olelo malu, Mai kona wa i hanaia'i, malaila no au; Ano hoi, ua hoouna mai ia'u o Iehova, ka Haku, a me kona Uhane.
17 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD your God which teaches you to profit, which leads you by the way that you should go.
Penei hoi ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, a kou Hoolapanai, Ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela; Owau no Iehova, kou Akua, Ka mea ao aku ia oe i ka mea e pono ai, Ka mea alakai ia oe ma kahi e pono ai oe ke hele.
18 O that you had hearkened to my commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
Ina i hoolohe mai oe i ka'u mau kauoha, Ina ua like kou malu me ka muliwai, A o kou pono hoi, me na aui o ka moana:
19 Your seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of your bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Ina ua like kau poe mamo me ke one, A me na keiki o kou opu me kona iliili; Aole hoi e hookiia kona inoa, aole hoi e hookaia'ku imua o'u.
20 Go all of you out of Babylon, flee all of you from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare all of you, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say all of you, The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob.
O haele oukou mawaho o Babulona, E holo oukou, mai ko Kaledea aku, Me ka leo o ke oli, e hai aku, e hookaulana i keia, E hoolaha aku a i na kukulu o ka honua; E i aku, Ua hoolapanai o Iehova i ka Iakoba, kana kauwa.
21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
Ia lakou i hele ai ma na wahi maloo, aole lakou i make wai: Hookahe oia i ka wai, mai loko mai o ka pohaku no lakou; Wawahi no oia i ka pohaku, a huai mai la na wai.
22 There is no peace, says the LORD, unto the wicked.
Aole malu no ka poe hewa, wahi a Iehova.
