Isaia 45
1 PENEI o Iehova i olelo mai ai no kona mea i poniia, No Kuro, nona ka lima akau a'u i hooikaika ai, E hoopio i na lahuikanaka imua ona; A e kala no hoi au i ko na puhaka o na'lii, I hamama na puka imua ona, Aole hoi e paniia na pukapa.
Cyrus is the one whom Yahweh has appointed [to be the emperor of Persia] and to whom he will give great power [IDM]; Yahweh will enable him to defeat other nations and to take away the power of their kings. He will cause gates of cities to be opened, and no one will ever be able to shut them.
2 E hele no wau imua ou, a e hoolaumania i na wahi apuupuu, E wawahi no au i na pani puka keleawe, A e uhaki ia'u na kaola hao.
This is what Yahweh says to him: “Cyrus, I will go ahead of you and level the mountains. I will smash down bronze gates and cut through iron bars.
3 E haawi aku no au ia oe i ka waiwai o ka pouli, A me ka ukana i hunaia ma kahi nalowale, I ike ai oe, owau no Iehova, ka mea i hea aku ia oe ma ka inoa, Ke Akua hoi o ka Iseraela.
I will give you treasures [that people have hidden] in dark secret places [DOU]. I will do that in order that you will know that I am Yahweh, the God to whom the Israelis belong, the God who calls you by your name.
4 No ka'u kauwa, no Iakoba, No ka Iseraela hoi, ka mea a'u i wae ai, Ua hea aku no au ia oe; Ma kou inoa ua hea aku au ia oe, Aole nae oe i ike mai ia'u.
I have summoned you, calling out your name, for the sake of [the people of] Israel [DOU] whom I have chosen, who serve me. Even though you do not know me, I will give you a title which has great honor.
5 Owau no Iehova, aohe mea e ae, Aohe Akua e ae, ke kaawale au; Na'u no e kaei aku ia oe, aole nae oe i ike mai ia'u;
I am Yahweh, and there is no other God [DOU]. Even though you do not know me, I will give you power
6 I ike lakou, mai ka puka ana a ka la mai, A mai ke komohana mai hoi, Aohe mea e ae, ke kaawale au; Owau no o Iehova, aohe mea e ae.
in order that everyone in the world, from the east to the west, will know that there is no other [God]. I am Yahweh, and there is no other [God].
7 Ka mea nana i hana ka malamalama, A nana hoi i hana ka pouli, Nana i hana ka pomaikai, Nana hoi i hana ka poino, Owau no Iehova, ka mea nana e hana keia mau mea a pau.
I created the light and the darkness. I cause there to be peace and I cause there to be disasters. I, Yahweh, do all those things.”
8 E hoonakulukulu oukou, e na lani, mai luna mai, E hanini hoi na aouli i ka pono; E hamama hoi ka honua, a e hua mai i ke ola, E ulu pu mai no me ka pono; Na'u, na Iehova ia i hana.
[And Yahweh also says, “I want my] rescue [of my people] [MET] to fall from the sky like rain. Just like the earth opens wide to accept rain, I will rescue/save my people and cause them to be treated justly. I, Yahweh, am the one who will cause both of those things to happen.
9 Auwe ke kanaka paio aku i kona mea nana ia i hana? Na mea lepo me na mea lepo o ka honua! E olelo anei ka lepokiaha, i ka mea nana ia e hooponopono, Heaha kau e hana nei? A o ka mea au i hana'i, Aole ona lima?
Terrible things will happen to those who argue with me, the one who created them. [They are like] [MET] a clay pot and [I am like] the one who made it; so they certainly cannot [RHQ] criticize me. A lump of clay certainly cannot [RHQ] argue with the one who shapes it [to form a pot], saying, ‘Why are you making me like this?’ The pot cannot say ‘[You have no skill, because] what you made has no handles!’
10 Auwe ka mea olelo i ka makuakane, Heaha kau e hoohanau ai? A i ka makuwahine hoi, Ua hanau oe i ke aha?
And it would be terrible if an unborn baby would say to its father, ‘Why are you [RHQ] causing me to be born?’ or if it said to its mother, ‘The result of your labor pains will be useless?’”
11 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela, penei, O ka Mea hoi nana ia i hana, E ninau mai oukou ia'u i na mea e hiki mai ana no ka'u mau keiki, A e kauoha mai oukou ia'u ma ka hana a kuu mau lima.
Yahweh, the Holy One of the Israeli people, the one who created Israel, says this to them: “(Why do you ask questions about [what I do for you], my children?/You should not ask questions about [what I do for you], my children.) [RHQ] (Why do you tell me about the work that I should do?/You should not tell me about the work that I should do.) [RHQ]
12 Na'u no i hana ka honua nei, A hana no hoi au i na kanaka maluna iho; Na kuu mau lima no i hohola aku i na lani, A na'u hoi i kauoha aku i ko lakou lehulehu a pau.
I am the one who created the earth and created people to live on it. I stretched out the sky with my hands, and I put the stars in their places.
13 Ua hoala no au ia ia, no ka pono, Na'u no e hoopololei i kona mau aoao, Nana no e hana i ko'u kulanakauhale, A nana no e hookuu aku i ko'u poe pio; Aole no ka uku, a me ka waiwai kipe, Wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
And I will appoint Cyrus to do things that are right/just, and I will enable him to do all those things easily [MET]. His [workers] will rebuild my city, and he will free my people who have been (exiled/forced to leave their country). And he will do it without my rewarding/paying him! [Those things will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.
14 Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, E hele mai no ianei, iou la, Ka waiwai o Aigupita, a me ka mea kuai o Aitiopa, A me ko Seba, ka poe kanaka nunui, a e lilo lakou nou. E hahai no lakou ia oe; me ka paa ana i na kaula hao lakou e hele mai ai, A e moe no lakou ilalo imua ou, E nonoi aku no lakou ia oe, me ka olelo iho, He oiaio no, me oe no ke Akua, aohe Akua e ae.
And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say [to you, my people]: ‘You will rule the people of Egypt and Ethiopia, and the tall people of Seba [in Arabia] will become your slaves. They will come to you bringing all the things that they sell, and it will all be yours. [As prisoners], they will have chains on their arms as they follow you. They will prostrate themselves in front of you and say, “God is with/helping you and he is the only God; there is no other God.” '”
15 He oiaio no, o ke Akua no oe nana i huna ia oe iho, E ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ka mea e ola'i.
God, although we cannot see you, you are the one to whom [we] Israeli people belong, the one who saves us.
16 Ua hilahila, a ua hoopalaimaka lakou a pau; Holo pu no iloko o ka hilahila, ka poe hana akuakii.
All those who make idols will be humiliated. They will all be disgraced together.
17 E hoolaia no o ka Iseraela maloko o Iehova, me ke ola mau loa; Aole oukou e hilahila, aole hoi e hoopalaimaka, ia ao aku, ia ao aku.
But you, Yahweh, will rescue [us, your] Israeli people, and we will be free forever. Never again will we again be humiliated and disgraced.
18 No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova, Ka mea nana i hana na lani; Oia ke Akua, ka mea nana i hana ka honua, a kukulu hoi, Ka mea nana ia i hoopaa, aole hoi ia i hana makehewa ia mea, Hana no oia ia i wahi e nohoia'i; Owau no Iehova, aohe mea e ae,
Yahweh is God; he is the one who created the sky and created and formed the earth. He did not want it to remain with nothing living on it; he wanted people to live on it. [He says], “I am Yahweh; there is no other [God].
19 Aole au i olelo ma kahi malu, ma kahi pouli o ka honua; Aole au i olelo aku i na pua a Iakoba, E imi makehewa oukou ia'u. Owau o Iehova, ka mea e olelo ana ma ka pono, Ka mea e hai. aku ana i na mea pololei.
[What I proclaimed], I did not speak secretly or [hide what I was saying by speaking] in a dark place. When I spoke to the descendants of Jacob, I did not tell them ‘It will be useless for you to (seek for/pray to) me!’ I, Yahweh, speak [only] what is true and what is right.
20 E hoakoakoa oukou, a hele mai, E houluulu pu oukou, e ka poe i pakele o na aina. He poe ike ole ka poe kukulu i ka laau o ko lakou akua kalaiia, A pule aku i ke akua hiki ole ke hoola.
You people who are still alive after experiencing great disasters, should come and gather together [and listen to this]: The people who carry around their wooden idols and pray to them are foolish, because those idols cannot rescue them!
21 E hai aku, e lawe mai hoi ia lakou; Oia, e kukakuka pa lakou. Nawai i hai i keia, mai kahiko mai, A hoikeike hoi ia, mai kela wa mai? Aole anei owau. o Iehova? Aole hoi he Akua e ae, ke Kaawale au; O ke Akua pono, ka mea e ola'i, aohe mea e ae.
Talk among yourselves, and decide what you will say to prove that [your praying to idols is good]. [And when you do that, I will ask you], ‘Who predicted long ago [what has now happened]? Did any idol tell you [that those things would happen] [RHQ]?’ No, it was [RHQ] only I, Yahweh, who told you, because I am the only God; there is no other God. I am a God who acts righteously and saves people; there is no other one [who does these things].
22 E haliu mai oukou ia'u a e hoolaia no oukou, E na kukulu o ka honua; No ka mea, owau no ke Akua, aohe mea e ae.
Everyone in the world should ask me to save them, because I am the only God who can do that; there is no other one.
23 Ua hoohiki au ia'u iho, Ua puka aku hoi ka olelo, mai ko'u waha aku ma ka pono, Aole ia i hoi hou, no ka mea, la'u no e kukuli ai na kuli a pau, a e hoohiki no hoi na elelo a pau.
I have solemnly declared, using my own name; I [SYN] have spoken what is true, and I will never change what I have said: [Some day], everyone [SYN] will bow in front of me, and they will all solemnly promise to be loyal to me.
24 He oiaio, e olelo mai ia'u, maloko o Iehova na mea pono, a me ka ikaika, Ia ia no lakou e hele mai ai; A e hilahila auanei ka poe a pau i inaina aku ia ia.
They will declare, ‘Yahweh is the one who enables us to live righteously and to be strong.’” And all those who have been angry at him will come to him, and they will be ashamed [for having been angry with him].
25 Maloko o Iehova e hoaponoia'i na pua a pau o ka Iseraela, A malaila hoi e hoonani ai.
Yahweh is the only one who will enable [us] Israeli people in the future to defeat our enemies, [and then] we will boast about what he [has done for us].
