Isaia 43

1 A NO, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, ka mea nana oe i hana, e Iakoba, Ka mea nana oe i hookumu, e Iseraela; Mai makau, no ka mea, ua hoola au ia oe; Ua hea aku au ia oe ma ka inoa; no'u no oe.

And now thus saith the Lord God that made thee, O Jacob, and formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee [by] thy name; thou art mine.

2 Ia oe e hele mawaena o na wai, owau pu no me oe; A maloko hoi o na muliwai, aole oe e halanaia ia lakou; Ia oe e hele ae maloko o ke ahi, aole oe e wela; Aole hoi e ai aku ka lapalapa ahi ia oe.

And if thou pass through water, I am with thee; and the rivers shall not overflow thee: and if thou go through fire, thou shalt not be burned; the flame shall not burn thee.

3 No ka mea, owau no Iehova kou Akua, Ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela, kou mea e ola'i; Ua haawi au ia Aigupita, i panai nou, Ia Aitiopa, a me Seba hoi, i uku panai nou;

For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, that saves thee: I have made Egypt and Ethiopia thy ransom, and [given] Soene for thee.

4 No ka mea, ua makamae oe ma ko'u mau maka, Ua hoomaikaiia hoi oe, a ua aloha aku au ia oe; Nolaila au e panai aku ai i na kanaka nou, A e lilo no na lahuikanaka i panai no kou ola.

Since thou becamest precious in my sight, thou hast become glorious, and I have loved thee: and I will give men for thee, and princes for thy life.

5 Mai makau oe, no ka mea, owau pu no me oe; Na'u no e lawe mai i kau poe mamo, mai ka hikina mai, A e hoakoakoa no au i kau, mai ke komohana mai.

Fear not; for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and will gather thee from the west.

6 E olelo aku no au i ke kukulu akau, E haawi mai; A i ke kukulu hema hoi. Mai aua oe; E kai mai i ka'u mau keiki kane, mai kahi loihi mai, A me ka'u mau kaikamahine, mai na kihi o ka honua;

I will say to the north, Bring; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from the [land] afar off, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

7 O na mea hoi a pau i heaia ma ko'u inoa, A no ko'u nani i hana aku ai au ia lakou; Na'u no i hookumu, na'u hoi i hana.

[even] all who are called by my name: for I have prepared him for my glory, and I have formed him, and have made him:

8 E kai mai i ka poe kanaka makapo, he mau maka no nae ko lakou, A me na mea kuli hoi, he mau pepeiao no nae ko lakou.

and I have brought forth the blind people; for [their] eyes are alike blind, and they that have ears are deaf.

9 E hoakoakoaia mai ko na aina a pau, E hoiliiliia mai hoi na lahuikanaka a pau; Owai ka mea o lakou e hiki ia ia ke hai i keia, A hoiko mai hoi i na mea kahiko? E kai mai lakou i ko lakou poe ike maka, i hoaponoia'i lakou: A o lakou kekahi e hoolohe mai, a olelo, Ua oiaio.

All the nations are gathered together, and princes shall be gathered out of them: who will declare these things? or who will declare to you things from the beginning? let them bring forth their witnesses, and be justified; and let them hear, and declare the truth.

10 O oukou no ko'u poe ike maka, wahi a Iehova, O ka'u kauwa hoi ka mea a'u i wae ai, I ike mai oukou, a manaoio mai ia'u; A hoomaopopo hoi, owau no Ia, Mamua o'u, aohe akua i hanaia, Aole hoi auanei mahope o'u.

Be ye my witnesses, and I [too am] a witness, saith the Lord God, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know, and believe, and understand that I am [he]: before me there was no other God, and after me there shall be none.

11 Owau, owau no o Iehova, Aole hoi mea hoola e ae, owau wale no.

I am God; and beside me there is no Saviour.

12 Ua olelo aku no au, ua hoola aku hoi, A ua hoikeike aku hoi, i ka wa aole akua malihini iwaena o oukou: O oukou no ko'u poe ike maka, wahi a Iehova, Owau no ke Akua,

I have declared, and have saved; I have reproached, and there was no strange [god] among you: ye are my witnesses, and I am the Lord God,

13 Mamua aku o ka manawa, owau no Ia; Aohe mea hiki ke hoopakele, mai ko'u lima aku; Hana no au, a owai la ka mea hiki ke hooki mai?

even from the beginning; and there is none that can deliver out of my hands: I will work, and who shall turn it back?

14 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke oukou Hoolapanai, Ka Mea Hemolele hoi o ka Iseraela, penei; Ua hoouna aku au i Babulona no oukou, A ua kiola au ilalo i ko lakou poe auhee a pau, A me ko Kaledea, ka poe e olioli ana i na moku.

Thus saith the Lord God that redeems you, the Holy One of Israel; for your sakes I will send to Babylon, and I will stir up all that flee, and the Chaldeans shall be bound in ships.

15 Owau no Iehova, ko oukou Mea Hemolele, Ka mea nana i hana ka Iseraela, o ko oukou Alii.

I am the Lord God, your Holy One, who have appointed for Israel your king.

16 Penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova, Ka mea nana i hana i alanui ma ke kai, I kuamoo hoi maloko o na wai nui;

Thus saith the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty water;

17 Ka mea i hoopuka mai i ke kaakaua, a me ka lio, I ka poe koa, a me ka mea ikaika; Moe pu no lakou ilalo, aole ala hou, Ua kinaiia lakou, ua pio hoi, e like me ka uiki.

who brought forth chariots and horse, and a mighty multitude: but they have lain down, and shall not rise: they are extinct, as quenched flax.

18 Mai hoomanao oukou i na mea mamua, Mai manao hoi i na mea kahiko.

Remember ye not the former things, and consider not the ancient things.

19 Aia hoi, e hana ana au i mea hou; I keia manawa no ia e puka mai ai; Aole anei oukou e ike mai? He oiaio no, e hana no wau i alanui ma ka waonahele, A i kahawai hoi ma ka waoakua.

Behold, I [will] do new things, which shall presently spring forth, and ye shall know them: and I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land.

20 E hoomaikai mai no ia'u ka holoholona o ke kula, O na iliohae a me na keiki iana; No ka mea, ua haawi au i ka wai ma ka waonahele, A me na muliwai ma ka waoakua, I mea e hoohainu ai i ko'u poe kanaka, i ko'u poe hoi i waeia.

the beasts of the field shall bless me, the owls and young ostriches; for I have given water in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land, to give drink to my chosen race,

21 I keia poe kanaka no a'u i hana'i no'u iho; Na lakou no e hai aku i ko'u nani.

my people whom I have preserved to tell forth my praises.

22 Aka, aole oe i hea mai ia'u, e ka Iakoba, Ua uluhua oe ia'u, e ka Iseraela.

I have not now called thee, O Jacob; neither have I made thee weary, O Israel.

23 Aole oe i lawe mai ia'u i ka hipa o kou mau mohaikuni; Aole hoi oe i hoomaikai mai ia'u i kau mau mohai. Aole au i hookaumaha aku ia oe i ka alana, Aole hoi au i hooluhiluhi aku ia oe ma na mea ala.

Thou hast not brought me the sheep of thy whole-burnt-offering; neither hast thou glorified me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with sacrifices, neither have I wearied thee with frankincense.

24 Aole oe i kuai i oheala na'u, i ke kala, Aole hoi oe i hoomaona mai ia'u i ke kelekele o kau mau mohai; Aka, ua hookaumaha mai oe ia'u, i kou mau hewa, Ua hooluhiluhi mai oe ia'u i kou mau hala,

Neither hast thou purchased for me victims for silver, neither have I desired the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou didst stand before me in thy sins, and in thine iniquities.

25 Owau, owau no ka mea nana e holoi i kou mau hewa, no'u iho; Aole hoi au e hoomanao i kou mau hala.

I, [even] I, am he that blots out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and thy sins; and I will not remember [them].

26 E hooeueu mai oe i ko'u manao; E hooponopono pu kakou; E hai mai hoi oe, i hoaponoia mai ai oe.

But do thou remember, and let us plead [together]: do thou first confess thy transgressions, that thou mayest be justified.

27 Hewa no kou makuakane makamua, A ua kipi mai no hoi ia'u kau mau luna.

Your fathers first, and your princes have transgressed against me.

28 A e hoohaumia aku au i na luna hoano, A e haawi aku au i ka Iakoba no ka poino, A me ka Iseraela no ka hoinoia.

And the princes have defiled my sanctuaries: so I gave Jacob [to enemies] to destroy, and Israel to reproach.
