Isaia 48
1 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.
Hear these [words], you house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of Juda, who swear by the name of the Lord God of Israel, making mention [of it, but] not with truth, nor with righteousness;
2 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.
maintaining also the name of the holy city, and staying themselves on the God of Israel: the Lord of hosts is his name. The former things I have already declared;
3 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.
and they that have proceeded out of my mouth, and it became well known; I wrought suddenly, and [the events] came to pass.
4 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.
I know that you are stubborn, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your forehead brazen.
5 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.
And I told you of old what [should be] before it came upon you; I made it known to you, lest you should say, [My] idols have done [it] for me; and should say, [My] graven and molten images have commanded me.
6 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
You have heard all this, but you have not known: yet I have made known to you the new things from henceforth, which are coming to pass, and you said not,
7 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.
Now they come to pass, and not formerly: and you heard not of them in former days: say not you, Yes, I know them.
8 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.
You have neither known, nor understood, neither from the beginning have I opened your ears: for I knew that you would surely deal treacherously, and would be called a transgressor even from the womb.
9 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.
For mine own sake will I show you my wrath, and will bring before you my glorious acts, that I may not utterly destroy you.
10 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.
Behold, I have sold you, [but] not for silver; but I have rescued you from the furnace of affliction.
11 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.
For mine own sake I will do [this] for you, because my name is profaned; and I will not give my glory to another.
12 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.
Hear me, O Jacob, and Israel whom I call; I am the first, and I endure for ever.
13 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.
My hand also has founded the earth, and my right hand has fixed the sky: I will call them, and they shall stand together.
14 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.
And all shall be gathered, and shall hear: who has told them these things? Out of love to you I have fulfilled your desire on Babylon, to abolish the seed of the Chaldeans.
15 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.
I have spoken, I have called, I have brought him, and made his way prosperous.
16 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.
Draw near to me, and hear you these words; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning: when it took place, there was I, and now the Lord, [even] the Lord, and his Spirit, has sent me.
17 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.
Thus says the Lord that delivered you, the Holy One of Israel; I am your God, I have shown you how you should find the way wherein you should walk.
18 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:
And if you had listened to my commandments, [then] would your peace have been like a river, and your righteousness as a wave of the sea.
19 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.
Your seed also would have been as the sand, and the offspring of your belly as the dust of the ground: neither now shall you by any means be utterly destroyed, neither shall your name perish before me.
20 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.
Go forth of Babylon, you that flee from the Chaldeans: utter aloud a voice of joy, and let this be made known, proclaim it to the end of the earth; say you, The Lord has delivered his servant Jacob.
21 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.
And if they shall thirst, he shall lead them through the desert; he shall bring forth water to them out of the rock: the rock shall be cloven, and the water shall flow forth, and my people shall drink.
22 Aole malu no ka poe hewa, wahi a Iehova.
There is no joy, says the Lord, to the ungodly.
