< Isaiah 1 >

1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amos, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
KA wanana a Isaia, ke keiki a Amosa, ka mea ana i ike ai no ka Iuda, a no ka Ierusalema, i na la o Uzia, a me Iotama, a me Ahaza, a me Hezekia, o na'lii o ka Iuda.
2 Hear, [ye] heavens, and give ear, [thou] earth! for Jehovah hath spoken: I have nourished and brought up children; and they have rebelled against me.
E hoolohe, e na lani, e haliu mai hoi, e ka honua, No ka mea, o Iehova ka i olelo mai: Ua hanai au i na keiki, a ua malama hoi, Aka, ua kipi mai lakou ia'u.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; Israel doth not know, my people hath no intelligence.
Ua ike no ka bipi i kona haku, A o ka hoki hoi i kahi hanai o kona kahu: O ka Iseraela, aole ia i ike mai, Aole i malama ko'u poe kanaka.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that corrupt themselves! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have despised the Holy One of Israel; they are turned away backward.
Auwe ka lahuikanaka hewa! he poe kanaka kaumaha i ka hala, He hanauna hana ino, he poe hoohaumia: Ua haalele lakou ia Iehova, Ua hoowahawaha i ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela; Ua hoi ihope lakou.
5 Why should ye be smitten any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
Ma kahi hea oukou e hahau hou ia'i? A e kui hou aku anei oukou i ke kipi? Ua puni ke poo i ka mai, ua maule hoi ka naau a pau.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in him; wounds, and weals, and open sores: they have not been dressed, nor bound up, nor mollified with oil.
Mai ka poli wawae, a hiki i ke poo, Aohe wahi ola maloko olaila: He palapu me ka ali, a me ka eha hou, Aole i hoopiliia, aole i paa i ka wahi, Aole i hooluoluia i ka aila.
7 Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers eat it up in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Ua neoneo ko oukou aina, Ua puhiia ko oukou mau kulanakauhale i ke ahi: Ua pau ko oukou aina i na malihini ma ko oukou alo; Ua neoneo hoi, e like me kahi i anaiia e na malihini.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left, as a booth in a vineyard, as a night-lodge in a cucumber-garden, as a besieged city.
Ke waiho wale la no ke kaikamahine o Ziona, Me he hale kamala la ma ka pawaina, Me he hale pupupu la iloko o ka pakaukama; E like hoi me ke kulanakauhale i hoopilikiaia i ke kaua.
9 Unless Jehovah of hosts had left us a very small residue, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Ina aole o Iehova o na kaua i waiho mai i koena uuku no kakou, Ina ua like kakou me Sodoma, Ina ua like no me Gomora.
10 Hear the word of Jehovah, rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, people of Gomorrah!
E hoolohe i ka olelo a Iehova, e na lunakanawai o Sodoma. E haliu mai hoi i ke kanawai o ko kakou Akua, e na kanaka o Gomora.
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith Jehovah. I am sated with burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and in the blood of bullocks, and of lambs, and of he-goats I take no pleasure.
No ke aha ka oukou mohai nui ia'u? wahi a Iehova; Ua liliha au i na mohaikuni hipakane, A me ka momona o na mea i kupaluia; Aole o'u oluolu i ke koko o na bipi, a me na keikihipa, a me na kao.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this from your hand — to tread my courts?
Ia oukou e hele mai ai, e hoike imua o'u, Nawai i imi i keia ma ko oukou lima, e hahi ma ko'u pahale?
13 Bring no more vain oblations! Incense is an abomination unto me, — new moon and sabbath, the calling of convocations — wickedness and the solemn meeting I cannot bear.
Mai lawe hou mai i na mohai oiaio ole; O ka mea ala, ea, he mea hoopailua ia ia'u; O ka mahina hou, ka Sabati, a me ka aha i hoakoakoaia, Aole hiki ia'u ke hoomanawanui, He hewa no ia, o ia halawai ahaaina ana.
14 Your new moons and your set feasts my soul hateth: they are a burden to me; I am wearied of bearing [them].
Ua ukiuki ko'u naau i ko oukou mau mahina hou, a me ko oukou halawai ana; He mau mea kaumaha ia ia'u, Ua luhi au i ka halihali ana.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
Ia oukou e hohola mai ai i ko oukou mau lima, E huna no wau i ko'u mau maka ia oukou; A ia oukou e hoomahuahua i ka pule, aole au e hoolohe aku: No ka mea, ua piha ko oukou lima i ke koko.
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; — cease to do evil,
E holoi oukou, e hoomaemae hoi; E waiho aku i ka oukou hana hewa ana, mai ko'u alo aku; Ua oki ka hana hewa ana;
17 learn to do well: seek judgment, gladden the oppressed, do justice to the fatherless, plead for the widow.
E ao i ka hana maikai, E imi i ka hoopono, E alakai pololei i ka mea i hookaumahaia; E hoopono i na keiki makua ole, E kokua i ka wahinekanemake.
18 Come now, let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
E hele mai hoi, e kike kakou, wahi a Iehova: Ina paha i like ko oukou hewa me na kapa ula, E keokeo auanei ia me he hau la; Ina paha i ula loa e like me ka mea ulaula, E like auanei ia me he hulu hipa la.
19 If ye be willing and hearken, ye shall eat the good of the land;
Ina e ae mai oukou e hoolohe, E ai no oukou i ka maikai o ka aina.
20 but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
Aka, ina e hoole mai oukou, a e hoopaakiki, E pau auanei oukou i ka pahikaua; Na ka waha o Iehova i olelo mai.
21 How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness used to lodge in it, but now murderers.
Auwe, ua lilo ke kulanakauhale pono i wahine moekolohe! I kela wa, piha no i ka hoopono, A noho no ka maikai maloko; I keia wa hoi, he poe pepehi kanaka,
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine is mixed with water:
Ua lilo kou kala i oka, Ua pai pu ia kou waina me ka wai.
23 thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth presents, and hunteth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, and the cause of the widow cometh not unto them.
He poe hookekee kou poe alii, He poe hoa no na aihue; Ua makemake lakou a pau i ka waiwai kipe, Ua imi no i ka ukuia mai; Aole lakou i hoopono i na keiki makua ole, Aole hoi i hiki imua o lakou ka mea hooponoia o ka wahinekanemake.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah! I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies.
Nolaila, ke i mai nei ka Haku, o Iehova o na kaua, Ka mea mana hoi o ka Iseraela, Auwe! E hoomaha au ia'u iho i ko'u poe enemi, E hoopai aku au i ka poe i inaina mai ia'u.
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and will thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thine alloy;
E hoihoi aku au i ko'u lima maluna ou, E hoomaemae loa au i kou ino, E lawe aku hoi au i kou oka a pau.
26 and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning. Afterwards thou shalt be called, Town of righteousness, Faithful city.
E hoihoi hou no wau i kou mau lunakanawai, e like me ka wa i kinohi, A me kou poe kakaolelo, e like me ka wa kahiko; A mahope aku o keia, e kapaia oe, Ke kulanakauhale o ka pono, Ke kulanakauhale oiaio.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and they that return of her with righteousness.
E hoolaia no o Ziona i ka hoopono ana, A me kona poe pio hoi i ka hoopololei.
28 But the ruin of the transgressors and of the sinners [shall be] together; and they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
E luku pu ia ka poe kipi a me ka poe hewa, A e hoopauia auanei ka poe haalele ia Iehova.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths that ye have desired, and ye shall blush for the gardens that ye have chosen.
No ka mea, e hilahila auanei lakou i na laau oka a oukou I makemake ai, E hilahila no i na pakanu a oukou i koho ai.
30 For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
E like auanei oukou me ka laau oka i mae ka lau, E like hoi me ka pakanu wai ole.
31 And the strong shall be for tow, and his work a spark; and they shall both burn together, and there shall be none to quench [them].
E lilo no ka mea ikaika, i huna olona, A o kana hana hoi, i huna ahi, E wela pu no ia mau mea elua, Aohe mea nana e kinai.
