Isaia 42
1 A IA hoi ka'u kauwa, ka mea a'u i malama'i, O kuu mea i waeia, a ua olioli ko'u naau ia ia; E haawi aku no au i ko'u Uhane maluna ona; A nana no e hoolaha ae ka pono no na lahuikanaka.
Behold my servant, whom I will uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my spirit upon him, that he may bring forth justice to the nations.
2 Aole ia e kahea, aole hoi e hoowalaau aku, Aole hana aku a loheia kona leo ma ke alanui.
He shall not cry, nor call out aloud, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 Aole ia e uhai i ka ohe pepe, Aole hoi ia e kinai i ka uiki e pipi ana; A hoolaha aku oia i ka pono oiaio.
A cracked reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: unto truth shall he bring forth justice.
4 Aole ia e pio, aole hoi ia e uhaiia, A hookumu oia i ka pono ma ka honua nei: A e kakali no na mokupuni i kona kanawai.
He shall not become fatigued and not be faint, till he have established justice on earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.
5 Ke i mai nei ke Akua, o Iehova, penei, Ka mea nana i hana na lani, a hohola ae la ia lakou; Ka mea i hoopalahalaha ae i ka honua, a me kona mau mea ulu; Ka mea haawi i ka hanu no na kanaka maluna ona, A me ke ea hoi i ka poe e hele ana maluna ona:
Thus hath said God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and the things which come out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to those that walk thereon:
6 Owau, o Iehova, ua hea aku au ia oe i mea e pono ai, A na'u no e hoopaa aku i kou lima, a e malama no hoi au ia oe, A e haawi no wau ia oe i berita no na kanaka, I malamalama hoi no ko na aina e;
I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will lay hold on thy hand, and will keep thee, and appoint thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations;
7 E hookaakaa i na maka o ka poe makapo, E lawe mai hoi i ka poe pio, mailoko mai o kahi paa, A me ka poe e noho ana iloko o ka pouli, mailoko mai o ka halepaahao.
To open blind eyes, to bring out from the dungeon the prisoner, and out of the prison-house those that dwell in darkness.
8 Owau no Iehova, oia ko'u inoa; Aole au e haawi i ko'u nani ia hai, Aole hoi ko'u hanohano i na kiikalaiia.
I am the Everlasting One, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to any other, nor my praise to graven images.
9 Aia hoi, ua ko na mea i olelo kahiko ia, A ke hai aku nei au i na mea hou: Mamua o ko lakou hiki ana mai, ke hai aku nei au ia mau mea ia oukou.
The former things, behold, are come to pass; and new things do I announce; before they spring forth I let you hear of them.
10 E oli aku ia Iehova i ke oli hou, I kona nani hoi mai ka welau mai o ka honua: Ka poe iho ilalo ma ka moana, a me kona mea i piha'i, O na mokupuni, a me ko lakou poe e noho ana.
Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that filleth it; the isles, and their inhabitants.
11 E hookiekie no ka waonahele i kona leo, A me na kulanakauhale ona, O na kauhale kahi e noho ai o Kedara; E oli hoi ka poe e noho ana ma Sela, E hooho hoi ka poe ma ka piko o na kuahiwi.
Let resound with song the wilderness and its cities, the villages which Kedar inhabiteth: let the inhabitants of the rocks sing, let them shout forth from the top of the mountains.
12 E haawi aku lakou i ka hanohano no Iehova, E hoolaha hoi i kona nani ma na aina e.
Let them give glory unto the Lord, and in the islands declare his praise.
13 E puka aku no o Iehova iwaho, me he koa la, E hoa no oia i ka inaina, e like me ke kanaka kaua; E hea ikaika aku no ia, a e hooho hoi; E lanakila no oia maluna o kona poe enemi.
The Lord—as a mighty one will he go forth, like a man of war will he arouse his vengeance: he will shout, yea, raise the war-cry; against his enemies will he show his strength.
14 Ua noho ekemu ole au, mai kahiko loa mai; Ua noho malie au, ua uumi au i ka olelo: Aka, ano, e kahea aku no wau, e like me ka wahine hanau keiki; E luku aku no au, e hoopau pu no hoi.
I have a long time held my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: [now] like a travailing woman will I cry; I will destroy and devour [all] together.
15 E anai aku au i na kuahiwi, a me na puu, A e hoomaloo aku no au i ko lakou launahele a pau; E hoolilo wau i ko lakou muliwai i wahi maloo, A e hoomaloo no hoi au i ko lakou loko.
I will lay waste mountains and hills, and all their herbs will I dry up; and I will change the rivers into islands, and pools will I dry up.
16 A e kai aku no au i ka poe makapo, ma ke ala a lakou i ike ole ai: E alakai no au ia lakou ma na kuamoo a lakou i ike ole ai; E hoolilo au i ka pouli i malamalama imua o lakou, A me na ala kekee i pololei. E hana no wau i keia mau mea no lakou, Aole hoi au e haalele ia lakou.
And I will cause the blind to walk on a way that they have not known; on paths that they have not known will I lead them: I will change darkness before them into light, and crooked places into plains. These are the things which I will do, and not leave them [unfulfilled].
17 E hoopalaimaka, a e hilahila loa hoi ka poe a pau i hilinai i na kiikalaiia, Ka poe i olelo i na kii i hooheheeia, O oukou no ko makou mau akua.
They shall be turned back, they shall be ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to molten idols, Ye are our gods.
18 E hoolohe mai oukou, e na kuli, E nana hoi oukou, e ka poe makapo, i ike oukou.
Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look up, that ye may see.
19 Owai ka mea makapo, ke ole ka'u kauwa, A kuli hoi, e like me ko'u elele a'u i hoouna aku ai? Owai ka mea makapo, e like me ka mea haipule, Ka mea makapo hoi, e like me ke kauwa a Iehova?
Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger whom I send? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the servant of the Lord?
20 Ua ike no oe i na mea he nui, aole nae oe i malama; Ua hakahaka na pepeiao, aole nae oia i lohe.
Thou seest many things, but observest not; the ears are open, but he heareth not.
21 Ua lealea no o Iehova no kona pono iho, E hoohanohano no oia i kona kanawai, a e hoonani hoi oia ia mea.
The Lord willed [to do this] for the sake of his righteousness; [therefore] he magnifieth the law, and maketh it honorable.
22 Aka, ua powaia keia poe kanaka, a ua haoia; Ua hoopaheleia lakou a pau maloko o na lua, Ua hunaia hoi maloko o na halepaahao; Ua lilo lakou i pio, aohe mea nana lakou e hoopakele; He mea i haoia, aohe mea i olelo mai, E hoihoi aku.
But it is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them ensnared in holes, and in prison-houses are they hidden: they are become for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
23 Owai ka mea o oukou e haliu mai i ka pepeiao i keia? A hoolohe, a malama hoi, no ka manawa mahope?
Who among you will give ear to this? will hearken and listen, for the time to come?
24 Nawai i haawi ia Iakoba i pio, A i ka Iseraela hoi no ka poe powa? Aole anei na Iehova, ka mea a kakou i hana ino aku ai? No ka mea, aole lakou i hele i kona mau alanui, Aole lakou i hoolohe i kona kanawai.
Who gave up Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to plunderers? was it not the Lord? he it is against whom we have sinned; for they would not walk in his ways, neither did they hearken unto his law.
25 Nolaila ia i ninini aku ai maluna ona, i ka wela o kona inaina, A me ka ikaika o ke kaua; A ua hoa oia ia ia i ke ahi a puni, aole nae ia i ike; Wela no oia i ke ahi, aole i manao i kona naau.
Therefore hath he poured out over him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it blazed all round about him, yet he regarded it not; and it burnt on him, yet he laid it not to heart.
