Isaiah 5
1 I will sing for my beloved a song of his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.
E MELE aku au no kuu hiwahiwa, I ke mele o kuu hiwahiwa no kona pawaina. He pawaina ko kuu hiwahiwa, Aia ma ka puu hua nui.
2 He dug it up and cleared the stones and planted the finest vines. He built a watchtower in the middle and dug out a winepress as well. He waited for the vineyard to yield good grapes, but the fruit it produced was sour!
Kohi iho la ia a puni i na makalua, A hoolei aku la i na pohaku ona, A malaila ia i kanu ai i kumu waina maikai, A kukulu no hoi i hale kiai maloko, A kalai iho la i lua kaomi waina malaila; A kakali iho la no ka hua ana mai i huawaina, Aka, hua mai la ia i ka haakea.
3 “And now, O dwellers of Jerusalem and men of Judah, I exhort you to judge between Me and My vineyard.
Ano hoi, e ka poe e noho ana ma Ierusalema, A me na kanaka o ka Iuda, E hooponopono oukou iwaena o'u, a me ko'u pawaina.
4 What more could I have done for My vineyard than I already did for it? Why, when I expected sweet grapes, did it bring forth sour fruit?
Heaha ka mea hou e hiki ia'u ke hana no ko'u pawaina, I hana ole ia e au iloko ona? Ia'u i kakali ai no ka hua ana mai i na huawaina, No ke aha la ia i hua mai ai i ka haakea?
5 Now I will tell you what I am about to do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be consumed; I will tear down its wall, and it will be trampled.
Ano hoi, e hai aku no wau ia oukou, I ko'u mea e hana'i i ko'u pawaina. E wawahi au i kona pa e ulu ana, a e pau no ia i ka aiia; E hoohiolo no hoi au i kona pa pohaku, a e pau no ia i ka hahiia:
6 I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and thorns and briers will grow up. I will command the clouds that rain shall not fall on it.”
E anai loa no wau ia wahi; Aole ia e paipaiia, aole hoi e olaolaoia: Aka, e ulu no ke kakalaioa malaila, a me ka laaukalakala; A na'u no e kauoha aku i na ao, I ua ole mai lakou i ka ua maluna ona.
7 For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of His delight. He looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard a cry of distress.
No ka mea, o ka pawaina o Iehova o na kaua, Oia ka ohana o ka Iseraela, O na kanaka hoi o ka Iuda kana mea kanu i olioli ai. Kakali iho la oia i ka hoopono, aia ka! he hookahe koko ana, Kakali no i ka maikai, aia ka! He nwe ana.
8 Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field until no place is left and you live alone in the land.
Auwe ka poe i hoopili i kekahi hale i kekahi hale, A me ka poe i hui i kekahi mahinaai i kekahi mahinaai, A koe ole kahi kaawale, I noho o oukou wale no iwaena konu o ka aina!
9 I heard the LORD of Hosts declare: “Surely many houses will become desolate, great mansions left unoccupied.
Ma kuu pepeiao i hai mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, He oiaio no, e lilo ana na hale he nui loa i neoneo, A kanaka ole hoi na hale nui, a maikai.
10 For ten acres of vineyard will yield but a bath of wine, and a homer of seed only an ephah of grain.”
E hua mai ana na eka pawaina he umi, i hookahi bata: A o ka omera hua e hua mai ia i hookahi epa.
11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning in pursuit of strong drink, who linger into the evening, to be inflamed by wine.
Auwe ka poe e ala ana i kakahiaka nui, e inu i ka mea awaawa, A kakali hoi a malehulehu, i wela ai lakou i ka waina!
12 At their feasts are the lyre and harp, tambourines and flutes and wine. They disregard the actions of the LORD and fail to see the work of His hands.
O ka mea kani, a me ka lira, O ka pahu kani, a me ka hokiokio, O ka waina kekahi ma ka lakou ahaaina: Aole o lakou manao i ka hana a Iehova; A o ka hana hoi a kona mau lima, aole lakou i ike.
13 Therefore My people will go into exile for their lack of understanding; their dignitaries are starving and their masses are parched with thirst.
Nolaila, hele pio aku la ko'u poe kanaka, no ka ike ole; A make no ko lakou poe hanohano i ka pololi, A maloo ko lakou lehulehu i ka makewai.
14 Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat and opens wide its enormous jaws, and down go Zion’s nobles and masses, her revelers and carousers! (Sheol h7585)
Nolaila i hoomahuahua ai ka po i kona makemake, A i hamama nui loa hoi i kona waha; E poho no ilalo kona nani, a me kona hooho ana, A me kona lehulehu, a me ka hauoli iloko ona. (Sheol h7585)
15 So mankind will be brought low, and each man humbled; the arrogant will lower their eyes.
E kulou no ilalo ke kanaka uuku, E hoohaahaaia ke kanaka nui, A e hoohaahaaia na maka o ka poe haaheo;
16 But the LORD of Hosts will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.
E hapai nui ia o Iehova o na kaua no ka hoopono, A e hoanoia ke Akua, ka Mea Hemolele, no ka pololei.
17 Lambs will graze as in their own pastures, and strangers will feed in the ruins of the wealthy.
E ai no na keikihipa malaila, e like me ko lakou kula iho, A o hoopau no na malihini i na mea i koe o ka poe waiwai.
18 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of deceit and pull sin along with cart ropes,
Auwe ka poe kauo i ka poino maluna o lakou iho, me na kaula o ka hewa, A me ka hewa hoi, me he kaula la o ke kaa;
19 to those who say, “Let Him hurry and hasten His work so that we may see it! Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel come so that we may know it!”
Ka poe i olelo, E hana wikiwiki oia i kana hana, I ike makou: E neenee hoi a hookoia mai ka manao paa o ka Mea hemolele o ka Iseraela, I hoomaopopo makou!
20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.
Auwe ka poe kapa aku i ka hewa, he maikai; A i ka maikai hoi, he hewa; Ka poe i hoolilo i ka pouli, i malamalama, A i ka malamalama hoi, i pouli; A kapa i ka mea awaawa, he ono, A i ka mea ono hoi, he awaawa!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.
Auwe ka poe i akamai i ko lakou mau maka iho, A naauao hoi i ko lakou manao iho!
22 Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine and champions in mixing beer,
Auwe ka poe ikaika i ka inu waina, A me na kanaka ikaika i ke kawili i wai awaawa e inu ai:
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe and deprive the innocent of justice.
Ka poe i hoapono aku i ka mea hewa no ke kipeia, A kaili aku i ka hoapono o ka mea i pono, mai ona aku la!
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes the straw, and as dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will decay and their blossoms will blow away like dust; for they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hosts and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Nolaila, e like me ka ai ana o ka lapalapa ahi i ka opala, A me ka pau ana o ka mauu i puhiia i ke ahi, Pela e lilo ai ko lakou kumu i ka popopo, A e lele hoi iluna ko lakou pua, e like me ka huna lepo: No ka mea; ua haalele lakou i ke kanawai o Iehova o na kaua, Ua hoowahawaha hoi i ka olelo a ka Mea hemolele o ka Iseraela.
25 Therefore the anger of the LORD burns against His people; His hand is raised against them to strike them down. The mountains quake, and the corpses lay like refuse in the streets. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
Nolaila i hoaaia'i ka inaina o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, A ua o aku no oia i kona lima e ku e ia lakou, A ua hahau no oia ia lakou, a e haalulu na mauna: A e like auanei ko lakou kupapau me ka opala ma na alanui: Aole nae i huli aku kona huhu no keia mau mea a pau, Aka, ke o mai nei no kona lima i keia manawa.
26 He lifts a banner for the distant nations and whistles for those at the ends of the earth. Behold—how speedily and swiftly they come!
E kau no nae oia i ka hae, no na aina ma kahi loihi, A pio aku no oia ia lakou ma na welau o ka honua; Aia hoi! me ka wikiwiki loa lakou e hele mai ai.
27 None of them grows weary or stumbles; no one slumbers or sleeps. No belt is loose and no sandal strap is broken.
Aohe mea o lakou e maloeloe, aohe mea kulanalana; Aohe mea i luluhi na maka, aohe mea hiamoe; Aohe mea i wehe i ke kaei o kona puhaka, Aole e moku ke kaula o kona kamaa.
28 Their arrows are sharpened, and all their bows are strung. The hooves of their horses are like flint; their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.
Ua hookalaia ko lakou pua, Ua lena ko lakou kakaka a pau; Ua like na maiuu o ko lakou lio, me ka pohaku, A me ko lakou kaa, me ka puahiohio.
29 Their roaring is like that of a lion; they roar like young lions. They growl and seize their prey; they carry it away from deliverance.
E like auanei ko lakou uwo ana me ko ka liona, E uwo no lakou e like me na liona hou; E nunulu lakou, a hopu aku i ka mea pio, A e lawe aku, aohe mea e pakele ai.
30 In that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. If one looks over the land, he will see darkness and distress; even the light will be obscured by clouds.
Ia la la, e halulu ku e no oia ia lakou, E like me ka halulu ana o ke kai; Alaila, e nana lakou ma ka aina, Aia hoi, he pouli ino! Ua lilo ka malamalama i pouli, no na ao eleele ona!
