< Isaiah 51 >

1 Listen to me, you who follow what is just and who seek the Lord. Pay attention to the rock from which you have been hewn, and to the walls of the pit from which you have been dug.
E HOOLOHE mai oukou ia'u, e ka poe hahai i ka pono, Ka poe hoi e imi ana ia Iehova; E nana oukou ma ka pohaku, kahi a oukou i kalaiia'i, A i ka lua hoi maloko o ke ana, kahi a oukou kohiia'i.
2 Pay attention to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who bore you. For I called him alone, and I blessed him, and I multiplied him.
E nana hoi ma o Aberahama la, ko oukou kupuna, Ia Sara hoi i ka mea nana oukou i hanau; No ka mea, oia hookahi ka'u i hea aku ai, A hoopomaikai aku ia ia, a hoonui aku i kana.
3 Therefore, the Lord will console Zion, and he will console all its ruins. And he will turn her desert into a place of delights, and her wilderness into a garden of the Lord. Gladness and rejoicing will be found in her, thanksgiving and a voice of praise.
Pela no o Iehova e hoomaha mai ai ia Ziona, E hoomaha mai no i kona mau wahi neoneo a pau; A e hana no oia i kona waonahele, a like me Edena, A me kona waoakua e like me ka mahinaai a Iehova; Maloko olaila, e loaa no ka olioli a me ka hauoli, Ka hoolea ana, me ka leo o ke oli.
4 Pay attention to me, my people, and listen to me, my tribes. For a law will go forth from me, and my judgment will rest as a light for the nations.
E hoolohe mai ia'u, e ko'u poe kanaka, E haliu mai ka pepeiao ia u, e ka lahuikanaka o'u; No ka mea, e laha aku no ke kanawai, mai o'u aku nei, A e hoolilo no wau i ko'u pono, i malamalama no na kanaka.
5 My just one is near. My savior has gone forth. And my arms will judge the people. The islands will hope in me, and they will patiently wait for my arm.
Ua kokoke mai no ko'u pono, ua hele aku hoi ko'u ola, Na kuu lima no e hooponopono i kanaka; E kali no na mokupuni ia'u, a ma ko'u lima lakou e hilinai ai.
6 Lift up your eyes to heaven, and look down to the earth below. For the heavens will vanish like smoke, and the earth will be worn away like a garment, and its inhabitants will pass away in like manner. But my salvation will be forever, and my justice will not fail.
E alawa ae i ko oukou maka iluna a i ka lani, E nana hoi ma ka honua malalo; E holo aku auanei na lani, e like me ka uwahi, A e apulu no hoi ka honua, me he lole la, Pela no e make ai ka poe e noho ana maluna iho; Aka, e oia mau ana no ko'u ola, Aole hoi e pau ana ko'u pono.
7 Listen to me, you who know what is just, my people who have my law in their heart. Do not be afraid of disgrace among men, and do not dread their blasphemies.
E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e ka poe ike i ka pono, E na kanaka hoi i loaa ko'u kanawai ma ko lakou naau; Mai makau oukou i ka hoowahawaha o kanaka, Mai weliweli hoi i ka lakou olelo hoino ana.
8 For the worm will consume them like a garment, and the moth will devour them like wool. But my salvation will be forever, and my justice will be from generation to generation.
No ka mea, e ai no ka mu ia lakou, me he lole la, E ai no hoi ka huhu ia lakou e like me ka hulu hipa: Aka, e mau loa ana no ko'u pono, a i ke ao pau ole, A me ko'u ola hoi, mai keia hanauna, a ia hanauna aku.
9 Rise up, Rise up! Clothe yourself in strength, O arm of the Lord! Rise up as in the days of antiquity, as in generations long past. Have you not struck the arrogant one and wounded the dragon?
E ala, e ala, e aahu i ka ikaika, e ka lima o Iehova; E ala, e like me ia i na la mamua, I na hanauna kahiko loa aku hoi. Aole anei oe ka mea nana i okioki ia Rahaba? A hou iho no hoi i ka moonui?
10 Have not you dried up the sea, the waters of the great abyss, and turned the depths of the sea into a road, so that the delivered could cross over it?
Aole anei oe ka mea nana i hoomaloo i ke kai? I na wai hoi o ka hohonu nui? A hoolilo hoi i na wahi hohonu o ke kai, I alanui e hele ai ka poe i hoolapanaiia?
11 And now, those who have been redeemed by the Lord will return. And they will arrive in Zion, praising. And everlasting rejoicing will be upon their heads. They will take hold of gladness and rejoicing. Anguish and mourning will flee away.
E hoi mai no hoi ko Iehova poe i hoolapanaiia, E hele mai no lakou i Ziona me ke oli; He hauoli mau loa maluna o ko lakou mau poo: E loaa no ia lakou ka olioli, a me ka hauoli, A e hee loa aku no ke kaumaha, a me ke kaniuhu.
12 It is I, I myself, who will console you. Who are you that you would be afraid of a mortal man, and of a son of man, who will wither like the grass?
Owau, owau no ka mea nana oukou e hoomaha aku; Owai hoi oe, i makau aku ai oe i ke kanaka, i ka mea e make ana, A i ke keiki a ke kanaka hoi, i ka mea e lilo ana i mauu?
13 And have you forgotten the Lord, your Maker, who extended the heavens, and who founded the earth? And have you been in constant dread, all day long, at the face of his fury, of the one who afflicted you and who had prepared to destroy you? Where is the fury of the oppressor now?
A hoopoina hoi ia Iehova, i ka Mea nana oe i hana, A hohola ae la hoi i na lani, a hookumu i ka honua, A makau mau loa no hoi oe i na la a pau, No ka inaina o ka mea hooluhi, Ina paha ia e makaukau e luku iho? Auhea hoi ka inaina o ka mea hooluhi?
14 Advancing quickly, he will arrive to be revealed, and he will not kill unto utter destruction, nor will his bread fail.
Wikiwiki ae la ke pio kulou, i weheia'i oia, I ole ia o make maloko o ka lua, I pau ole hoi kana berena.
15 But I am the Lord, your God, who stirs up the sea, and who makes the waves swell. The Lord of hosts is my name.
Aka, owau no Iehova, kou Akua, Ka mea nana i hookupikipikio ke kai, A halulu mai la kona mau ale, O Iehova o na kaua kona inoa.
16 I have placed my words in your mouth, and I have protected you in the shadow of my hand, so that you might plant the heavens, and found the earth, and so that you might say to Zion, “You are my people.”
Ua hahao no wau i ko'u mau huaolelo iloko o kou waha, A ua uhi aku ia oe i ke aka o ko'u lima, Me ka makia aku i na lani, a me ka hookumu i ka honua, I olelo aku au ia Ziona, O oe no ko'u poe kanaka.
17 Lift up, Lift up! Arise, O Jerusalem! You drank, from the hand of the Lord, the cup of his wrath. You drank, even to the bottom of the cup of deep sleep. And you were given to drink, all the way to the dregs.
E ala e ala, e ku iluna, e Ierusalema, Ka mea i inu ma ka lima o Iehova, i ke kiaha o kona inaina; Ua inu no oe i ke kiaha bola e hikaka ai, Ua inu oe a moni loa hoi ilalo.
18 There is no one who can uphold her, out of all the sons whom she has conceived. And there is no one who would take her by the hand, out of all the sons whom she has raised.
Aole mea e alakai ia ia o na keikikane a pau ana i hanau ai; Aohe mea lalau i kona lima o na keikikane a pau ana i hanai ai a nui.
19 There are two things which have happened to you. Who will be saddened over you? There is devastation and destruction, and famine and sword. Who will console you?
Ua hiki mai keia mau mea elua maluna ou; Owai hoi ka mea minamina ia oe? O ka neoneo a me ka make, O ka wi a me ka pahikaua; Ma owai la hoi au e hoomaha aku ai ia oe?
20 Your sons have been cast out. They have slept at the head of all the roads, and they have been ensnared like a gazelle. They have been filled by the indignation of the Lord, by the rebuke of your God.
Ua maule kau mau keikikane, Ke kaa nei no ma na poo o na alanui a pau, E like me ka bipi hihiu maloko o ka upena; Ua hoopihaia lakou i ka inaina o Iehova, I ka paipai ana hoi o kou Akua.
21 Therefore, listen to this, O poor little ones, and you who have been inebriated, but not by wine.
Nolaila, e hoolohe mai oe i keia, e ka mea popilikia, A ona hoi, aole nae i ka waina:
22 Thus says your Sovereign, the Lord, and your God, who will fight on behalf of his people: Behold, I have taken the cup of deep sleep from your hand. You shall no longer drink from the bottom of the cup of my indignation.
Penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, kou Haku, O kou Akua hoi, nana e kokua i kona poe kanaka: Aia hoi, ua lawe au i ke kiaha e hikaka ai, mai kou lima aku, I ke kiaha bola hoi o ko'u inaina, Aole oe e inu hou.
23 And I will set it in the hand of those who have humiliated you, and who have said to your soul: “Bow down, so that we pass over.” And you placed your body on the ground, as a path for them to pass over.
Aka, e waiho aku au ia mea iloko o ka lima o ka poe hookaumaha ia oe, O ka poe i olelo ia oe, E moe ilalo, i hele aku makou maluna ae; A ua hoomoe oe i kou kua e like me ka lepo, Me he alanui la hoi, no ka poe i hele ae.
