Isaiah 5
1 I will sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard: My well-beloved had a vineyard upon a fruitful 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 And he dug it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine; and he built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein; and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes.
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, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, 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 was there yet to do to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? —
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 And now, let me tell you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden under foot;
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 and I will make it a waste — it shall not be pruned nor cultivated, but there shall come up briars and thorns; and I will command the clouds that they rain no rain upon 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 Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of his delight: and he looked for justice, and behold, blood-shedding; for righteousness, and behold, a cry.
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 unto them that add house to house, that join field to field, until there is no more room, and that ye dwell yourselves alone in the midst of 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 In mine ears Jehovah of hosts [hath said], Many houses shall assuredly become a desolation, great and excellent ones, without inhabitant.
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 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield an ephah.
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 unto them that, rising early in the morning, run after strong drink; that linger till twilight, [till] wine inflameth them!
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 And harp and lyre, tambour and flute, and wine are in their banquets; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, nor do they see the operation 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 are led away captive from lack of knowledge, and their nobility die of famine, and their multitude 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 doth Sheol enlarge its desire, and open its mouth without measure; and her splendour shall descend [into it], and her multitude, and her tumult, and [all] that is joyful within her. (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 And the mean man shall be bowed down, and the great man brought low, and the eyes of the lofty shall be brought low;
E kulou no ilalo ke kanaka uuku, E hoohaahaaia ke kanaka nui, A e hoohaahaaia na maka o ka poe haaheo;
16 and Jehovah of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God hallowed 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 And the lambs shall feed as on their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
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 unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as 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 who say, Let him hasten, let him speed his work, that we may see [it]; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, 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 unto them who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for 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 unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and intelligent in their own esteem!
Auwe ka poe i akamai i ko lakou mau maka iho, A naauao hoi i ko lakou manao iho!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty for drinking wine, and men valiant to mix strong drink;
Auwe ka poe ikaika i ka inu waina, A me na kanaka ikaika i ke kawili i wai awaawa e inu ai:
23 who justify the wicked for a bribe, and turn away the righteousness of the righteous from them!
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 devoureth the stubble, and dry grass sinketh down in the flame, their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; for they have rejected the law of Jehovah 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 is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath stretched out his hand against them and hath smitten them; and the mountains trembled, and their carcases are become as dung in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.
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 And he will lift up a banner to the nations afar off, and will hiss for one from the end of the earth; and behold, it will come rapidly [and] lightly.
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 among them is weary, none stumbleth; they slumber not, nor sleep; none hath the girdle of his loins loosed, nor the thong of his sandals 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 sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are reckoned as the flint, and their wheels as 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 a lioness, they roar as the young lions; yea, they growl, and snatch the prey, and carry it away safe, and there is none to deliver;
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 and they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if one look upon the earth, behold darkness [and] distress, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
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!
