< Isaiah 5 >

1 Let me sing of my well-beloved, a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard in a very 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 digged it, and cleared it of stones, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a vat therein; and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and 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, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt 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 could have been done more 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 come, I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down the fence thereof, and it shall be trodden down;
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 lay it waste: it shall not be pruned nor hoed, but there shall come up briers and thorns; I will also 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 the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of His delight; and He looked for justice, but behold violence; for righteousness, but 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 join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell 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 said the LORD of hosts: of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, 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 For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of a homer 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 rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame 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 the harp and the psaltery, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts; but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither have they considered 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 gone into captivity, for want of knowledge; and their honourable men are famished, 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 the nether-world hath enlarged her desire, and opened her mouth without measure; and down goeth their glory, and their tumult, and their uproar, and he that rejoiceth among them. (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 man is bowed down, and man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled;
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 is exalted through justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified through 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 Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers 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 it were with a cart rope,
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 That say: 'Let Him make speed, let Him hasten 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 that call evil good, and good evil; that change darkness into light, and light into darkness; that change bitter into sweet, and sweet into 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 prudent 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 unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle 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 That justify the wicked for a reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
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 the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and as the chaff is consumed in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, and contemned 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 the LORD kindled against His people, and He hath stretched forth His hand against them, and hath smitten them, and the hills did tremble, and their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this His anger is not turned away, but 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 an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly;
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 shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be 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 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels 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 shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions, yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be 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 unto the land, behold darkness and distress, and the light is darkened in the skies 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!
