Isaiah 57
1 The righteous man perishes, and no man lays it to heart. And merciful men are taken away; none considering that the righteous man is taken away from the evil.
MAKE no ke kanaka pono, aohe nae kanaka i hoomanao ia mea; Ua laweia'ku la na kanaka lokomaikai, Aole nae kanaka i noonoo, Ua laweia'ku ka mea i pono, mai ke alo aku o ka hewa.
2 He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
E hele aku no oia me ka malu, E hoomaha lakou ma ko lakou wahi moe, O ka mea hoi i hele ma kona pololei.
3 But draw near here, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.
E hookokoke mai oukou ianei, e na keiki a ke kilo wahine, Na keiki hoi a ke kane moe kolohe, a me ka wahine hookamakama.
4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves, against whom ye make a wide mouth, and put out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
Ia wai oukou e olioli ewaewa ai? A hoohamama oukou i ka waha iawai? A hooloihi ae i ke alelo? Aole anei oukou he poe keiki na ka poe hewa? A he hanauna hoi na ka wahahee?
5 ye who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree, who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
A ua wela hoi i na'kuakii malalo o na laau uliuli a pau, A ua luku aku hoi i na keiki ma na awawa, A malalo hoi ma na ana o na pohaku?
6 Among the smooth stones of the valley is thy portion. They, they are thy lot, even to them thou have poured a drink offering; thou have offered an oblation. Shall I be appeased for these things?
Aia no kou kuleana, ma na pohaku olohelohe o ke awawa, O lakou, o lakou no kou lihi. Oia, ua ninini aku oe i ka mohaiinu no lakou; Ua kaumaha aku no hoi i ka mohai ai. E olioli anei au i keia mau mea?
7 Upon a high and lofty mountain thou have set thy bed. Thou also went up there to offer sacrifice.
Maluna o ka mauna kiekie, malaila no oe i kaikai ai i kou wahi moe, Malaila no oe i pii aku ai, e kaumaha aku i ka mohai.
8 And behind the doors and the posts thou have set up thy memorial. For thou have uncovered thyself to another than me, and have gone up. Thou have enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them. Thou loved their bed where thou saw it.
Mahope o na puka, a me na lapauwila, Ua kukulu oe i kou mea e hoomanao ai; No ka mea, ua hoike aku oe ia oe iho i ka mea e, aole ia'u, A ua pii aku hoi, a ua hoakea oe i kou wahi moe, A ua hana oe i mea ike nou me lakou; Makemake no oe i ko lakou wahi moe, ua hoomakaukau oe i wahi nona.
9 And thou went to the king with oil, and increased thy perfumes, and sent thine ambassadors far off, and debased thyself even to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Hele aku no oe i ke alii me ka aila ala, A ua hoomahuahua oe i kou mau mea manoi, A ua hoouna aku oe i kou poe elele i kahi loihi, A ua hoopoho no oe ia oe iho, a lilo i ka po. (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou were wearied with the length of thy way, yet thou did not say, It is in vain. Thou found a quickening of thy strength, therefore thou were not faint.
I ka loihi o kou hele ana, ua maloeloe oe, Aole nae oe i olelo, ua make hewa; Ua loaa ia oe ke ola ana o kou lima, Nolaila, aole oe i paupauaho.
11 And of whom have thou been afraid and in fear, that thou lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? Have I not held my peace even of long time, and thou do not fear me?
Ua hopohopo oe ia wai, a makau hoi, I wahahee ai oe, aole hoi i hoomanao mai ia'u, Aole hoi i aloha mai ma kou naau? Aole anei au i noho ekemu ole, mai ka wa kahiko loa mai, A makau ole hoi oe ia'u?
12 I will declare thy righteousness. And as for thy works, they shall not profit thee.
E hai aku no au i kou pono, a me kau mau hana, Aole oe e pomaikai ia mau mea.
13 When thou cry, let those whom thou have gathered deliver thee. But the wind shall take them; a breath shall carry them all away. But he who takes refuge in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
Ia oe e kahea aku ai, na kou poe oe e hoopakele; E kaikai aku no ka makani ia lakou a pau; Na ka onini lakou e lawe aku; Aka, o ka mea hilinai mai ia'u, nana no e noho i ka aina, A e ili mai no ko'u mauna hoano ia ia.
14 And he will say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way. Take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.
Olelo iho la ia, E hoouka i ke ala, e hoouka i ke ala. E koomakaukau i ke kuamoo, E kaikai aku i na mea e hina'i, mai ke ala aku o ko'u poe kanaka.
15 For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, also with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a ka Mea i hapaiia, Ka Mea i hookiekie hoi, e noho ana ma ke ao pau ole, O Hemolele kona inoa; E noho no au ma kahi kiekie, a hemolele hoi, Me ka mea hoi i mihi, a haahaa hoi ka uhane, E hoomaha i ka uhane o ka mea haahaa, A e hoomaha hoi i ka naau o ka poe mihi.
16 For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry, for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls that I have made.
No ka mea, aole au e paio mau loa, Aole hoi au e huhu aku i na manawa a pau; O maule imua o'u ka naau, A me na uhane a'u i hana'i.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and smote him. I hid my face and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
No ka hewa o kona alunu i huhu aku ai au, a hahau aku la ia ia; Huna no wau i ko'u maka, a huhu aku no; Aka, hele no oia ma ke kolohe, ma ka aoao no o kona naau.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
Ua ike no au i kona mau aoao, a e hoola aku no au ia ia; A e alakai no hoi au ia ia, A e hoihoi aku i ka maha ia ia, a i kona poe kumakena no hoi.
19 I create the fruit of the lips. Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near, says Jehovah, and I will heal him.
Na'u no e hana i ka hua o na lehelehe; Ua malu, ua malu ka mea mamao aku, a me ka mea kokoke mai, Wahi a Iehova, a na'u no ia e hoola aku.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
Ua like ka poe hewa me ke kai kupikipikio, A hiki ole ke lana malie, a ua hooleilei na wai ona i ka wai eka, a me ka lepo.
21 There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.
Aohe malu no ka poe hewa, wahi a ke Akua o'u.
