Isaiah 26
1 In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city. He appoints salvation for walls and ramparts.
A HIKI aku ia la, e oliia no keia oli ana, Ma ka aina o ka Iuda; He kulanakauhale paa ko makou; O ke ola no kana e hoonoho ai, i pa, i pakaua no hoi.
2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
E wehe i na pukapa, i komo iloko ka lahuikanaka pono, Ka poe hoi i malama i ka oiaio.
3 You will keep him in peace, in peace whose thoughts are fixed on you, because he trusts in you.
Ka mea i kupaa ka manao, E malama ana oe ia ia me ka malu loa, No ka mea, ua hilinai aku oia ia oe.
4 Trust in the LORD forever; for in YAH, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
E hilinai aku oukou ia Iehova a i ka manawa pau ole; No ka mea, ma ka Haku, ma o IEHOVA la ka hoomalu, a i ka manawa pau ole.
5 For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low to the ground. He casts it to the dust.
No ka mea, ua hoohaahaa oia i ka poe i noho ma kahi kiekie; Ua hoohaahaa oia i ke kulanakauhale kiekie, Ua hoohaahaa oia ia ia ma ka honua, Ua hoopili oia ia wahi ilalo i ka lepo.
6 The feet of the poor tramples it down, the footsteps of the needy."
E hahi ana no ka wawae maluna ona, O na wawae o ka poe i hune, a me na kapuwai o ka poe i nele.
7 The way of the righteous is level. O Just One, you make the path of the righteous smooth.
O ka aoao o ka poe i pono, ua pololei ia. O oe ka mea pololei e hoopololei i ke ala o ka poe pono.
8 Yes, in the path of your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
Ma ke ala o kou mau kanawai, e Iehova, Ua hilinai aku makou ia oe, O ka makemake o ko makou naau, i kou inoa ia a me ka hoomanao aku ia oe.
9 With my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, my spirit within me will seek you early, for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
Me ko'u naau au i makemake aku ai ia oe i ka po; He oiaio, ua imi aku au ia oe i kakahiaka me ko'u uhane iloko o'u; No ka mea, i ka wa e hooponopono ai oe ma ka honua, E ao no na kanaka o keia ao i ka pono.
10 Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD's majesty.
E lokomaikaiia ka poe hewa, Aole nae ia e ao i ka pono; Ma ka aina o ka pololei, e hana kekee no ia, Aole hoi e manao aku i ka nani o Iehova.
11 LORD, your hand is lifted up, yet they do not see; they see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
Ua hapaiia kou lima, e Iehova, Aole nae lakou i nana; E ike no nae lakou me ka hilahila, I kou aloha nui i na kanaka ou, E oiaio no, e ai no ke ahi i kou poe enemi.
12 LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us.
E Iehova, e haawi mai ana no oe i ka malu no makou; No ka mea, ua hana no oe i ka makou hana a pau no makou.
13 LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but by you only will we make mention of your name.
E Iehova, ko makou Akua, Ua noho mai na haku e, i alii maluna o makou, aole oe; Aka, ia oe wale no a me kou inoa makou e hookaulana aku ai.
14 The dead shall not live, and the departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
Ua make ia poe, aole lakou e ola; Ua nawaliwali lakou, aole lakou e ku hou mai: Nolaila oe i hoopai mai, a luku mai ia lakou, A ua hooki loa oe i ka manao ana ia lakou.
15 You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation. You are glorified. You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
Ua hoomahuahua oe i ka lahuikanaka, e Iehova, Ua hoomahuahua oe i ka lahuikanaka, ua hoonaniia oe; Ua hoopalahalaha ae oe i na mokuna a pau o ka aina.
16 LORD, in trouble they sought you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
E Iehova, maloko o ke kaumaha, ua imi aku lakou ia oe, I ka wa i hookaumaha ai oe ia lakou, nonoi ikaika loa aku lakou.
17 Like as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, LORD.
E like me ka wahine hapai, a kokoke mai kona manawa e hanau ai, Ua nui kona eha, a uwe iho oia no ke kuakoko ana; Pela no makou imua ou, e Iehova.
18 We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
Ua hapai no makou, ua nahu kuakoko, Ua hanau hoi makou, he mea me he makani la; Aole i hanaia ka mea e ola'i ma ka aina, Aole hoi i haule na kanaka o keia ao.
19 Your dead shall live; my dead bodies shall rise. Awake and shout for joy, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of the dawn, and the earth shall bring forth the departed spirits.
E ola auanei kou poe i make, O ko'u poe i make, e ala mai no lakou: E ala mai, e oli oukou, e ka poe e noho ana ma ka lepo, No ka mea, o kou hau, o ka hau ia maluna o na mea ulu, E hoolei aku no ka aina i ka poe i make.
20 Come, my people, enter into your chambers, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
E hele mai, e ko'u poe kanaka, E komo oukou iloko o ko oukou keena malu, E pani hoi i ko oukou puka mahope o oukou; E huna ia oe iho no ka manawa uuku, A hala aku ka inaina.
21 For, look, the LORD comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
No ka mea, aia hoi, o Iehova, ke puka mai la, mai kona wahi mai, E hoopai i ka hewa o na kanaka maluna o ka honua; A e hoike aku no ka honua i ke koko iloko ona, Aole e uhi hou i kona poe i pepehiia,
