< Isaiah 45 >

1 Yahweh says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armor, to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
PENEI o Iehova i olelo mai ai no kona mea i poniia, No Kuro, nona ka lima akau a'u i hooikaika ai, E hoopio i na lahuikanaka imua ona; A e kala no hoi au i ko na puhaka o na'lii, I hamama na puka imua ona, Aole hoi e paniia na pukapa.
2 “I will go before you and make the rough places smooth. I will break the doors of bronze in pieces and cut apart the bars of iron.
E hele no wau imua ou, a e hoolaumania i na wahi apuupuu, E wawahi no au i na pani puka keleawe, A e uhaki ia'u na kaola hao.
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who calls you by your name, even the God of Israel.
E haawi aku no au ia oe i ka waiwai o ka pouli, A me ka ukana i hunaia ma kahi nalowale, I ike ai oe, owau no Iehova, ka mea i hea aku ia oe ma ka inoa, Ke Akua hoi o ka Iseraela.
4 For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name. I have given you a title, though you have not known me.
No ka'u kauwa, no Iakoba, No ka Iseraela hoi, ka mea a'u i wae ai, Ua hea aku no au ia oe; Ma kou inoa ua hea aku au ia oe, Aole nae oe i ike mai ia'u.
5 I am Yahweh, and there is no one else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me,
Owau no Iehova, aohe mea e ae, Aohe Akua e ae, ke kaawale au; Na'u no e kaei aku ia oe, aole nae oe i ike mai ia'u;
6 that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no one besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
I ike lakou, mai ka puka ana a ka la mai, A mai ke komohana mai hoi, Aohe mea e ae, ke kaawale au; Owau no o Iehova, aohe mea e ae.
7 I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
Ka mea nana i hana ka malamalama, A nana hoi i hana ka pouli, Nana i hana ka pomaikai, Nana hoi i hana ka poino, Owau no Iehova, ka mea nana e hana keia mau mea a pau.
8 Rain, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, Yahweh, have created it.
E hoonakulukulu oukou, e na lani, mai luna mai, E hanini hoi na aouli i ka pono; E hamama hoi ka honua, a e hua mai i ke ola, E ulu pu mai no me ka pono; Na'u, na Iehova ia i hana.
9 Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands’?
Auwe ke kanaka paio aku i kona mea nana ia i hana? Na mea lepo me na mea lepo o ka honua! E olelo anei ka lepokiaha, i ka mea nana ia e hooponopono, Heaha kau e hana nei? A o ka mea au i hana'i, Aole ona lima?
10 Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’”
Auwe ka mea olelo i ka makuakane, Heaha kau e hoohanau ai? A i ka makuwahine hoi, Ua hanau oe i ke aha?
11 Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker says: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela, penei, O ka Mea hoi nana ia i hana, E ninau mai oukou ia'u i na mea e hiki mai ana no ka'u mau keiki, A e kauoha mai oukou ia'u ma ka hana a kuu mau lima.
12 I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens. I have commanded all their army.
Na'u no i hana ka honua nei, A hana no hoi au i na kanaka maluna iho; Na kuu mau lima no i hohola aku i na lani, A na'u hoi i kauoha aku i ko lakou lehulehu a pau.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says Yahweh of Armies.
Ua hoala no au ia ia, no ka pono, Na'u no e hoopololei i kona mau aoao, Nana no e hana i ko'u kulanakauhale, A nana no e hookuu aku i ko'u poe pio; Aole no ka uku, a me ka waiwai kipe, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
14 Yahweh says: “The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you, and they will be yours. They will go after you. They shall come over in chains. They will bow down to you. They will make supplication to you: ‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else. There is no other god.
Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, E hele mai no ianei, iou la, Ka waiwai o Aigupita, a me ka mea kuai o Aitiopa, A me ko Seba, ka poe kanaka nunui, a e lilo lakou nou. E hahai no lakou ia oe; me ka paa ana i na kaula hao lakou e hele mai ai, A e moe no lakou ilalo imua ou, E nonoi aku no lakou ia oe, me ka olelo iho, He oiaio no, me oe no ke Akua, aohe Akua e ae.
15 Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.’”
He oiaio no, o ke Akua no oe nana i huna ia oe iho, E ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ka mea e ola'i.
16 They will be disappointed, yes, confounded, all of them. Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
Ua hilahila, a ua hoopalaimaka lakou a pau; Holo pu no iloko o ka hilahila, ka poe hana akuakii.
17 Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
E hoolaia no o ka Iseraela maloko o Iehova, me ke ola mau loa; Aole oukou e hilahila, aole hoi e hoopalaimaka, ia ao aku, ia ao aku.
18 For Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited says: “I am Yahweh. There is no other.
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, Ka mea nana i hana na lani; Oia ke Akua, ka mea nana i hana ka honua, a kukulu hoi, Ka mea nana ia i hoopaa, aole hoi ia i hana makehewa ia mea, Hana no oia ia i wahi e nohoia'i; Owau no Iehova, aohe mea e ae,
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
Aole au i olelo ma kahi malu, ma kahi pouli o ka honua; Aole au i olelo aku i na pua a Iakoba, E imi makehewa oukou ia'u. Owau o Iehova, ka mea e olelo ana ma ka pono, Ka mea e hai. aku ana i na mea pololei.
20 “Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image, and pray to a god that can’t save.
E hoakoakoa oukou, a hele mai, E houluulu pu oukou, e ka poe i pakele o na aina. He poe ike ole ka poe kukulu i ka laau o ko lakou akua kalaiia, A pule aku i ke akua hiki ole ke hoola.
21 Declare and present it. Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has shown this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Haven’t I, Yahweh? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior. There is no one besides me.
E hai aku, e lawe mai hoi ia lakou; Oia, e kukakuka pa lakou. Nawai i hai i keia, mai kahiko mai, A hoikeike hoi ia, mai kela wa mai? Aole anei owau. o Iehova? Aole hoi he Akua e ae, ke Kaawale au; O ke Akua pono, ka mea e ola'i, aohe mea e ae.
22 “Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
E haliu mai oukou ia'u a e hoolaia no oukou, E na kukulu o ka honua; No ka mea, owau no ke Akua, aohe mea e ae.
23 I have sworn by myself. The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.
Ua hoohiki au ia'u iho, Ua puka aku hoi ka olelo, mai ko'u waha aku ma ka pono, Aole ia i hoi hou, no ka mea, la'u no e kukuli ai na kuli a pau, a e hoohiki no hoi na elelo a pau.
24 They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.’” Even to him will men come. All those who raged against him will be disappointed.
He oiaio, e olelo mai ia'u, maloko o Iehova na mea pono, a me ka ikaika, Ia ia no lakou e hele mai ai; A e hilahila auanei ka poe a pau i inaina aku ia ia.
25 All the offspring of Israel will be justified in Yahweh, and will rejoice!
Maloko o Iehova e hoaponoia'i na pua a pau o ka Iseraela, A malaila hoi e hoonani ai.
