Isaiah 59
1 Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
A IA hoi, aole i pokole ka lima o Iehova, I mea e ole ai ia e hoola; Aole hoi i kaumaha kona pepeiao, I mea e ole ai ia e hoolohe;
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
Aka, ua kaupale no ko oukou mau hewa mawaena o oukou, a me ko oukou Akua, A ua huna ko oukou mau hala i kona maka, mai o oukou aku, I ole oia e hoolohe mai.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perverseness.
No ka mea, ua paumaele ko oukou mau lima i ke koko, A me ko oukou manamana lima i ka hewa; Ua olelo no ko oukou mau lehelehe i ka wahahee, A ua olelo ko oukou alelo i ka hewa.
4 None calls for justice, nor any pleads for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Aohe mea i hea aku ma ka pono, Aohe mea hooponopono ma ka oiaio. Hilinai no lakou ma ka lapuwale, a olelo no hoi i ka wahahee; Hapai no lakou, he kolohe, a hanau mai hoi, he hewa.
5 They hatch cockatrice’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eats of their eggs dies, and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
Hoomoe no lakou i na hua o na moopepeiaohao, A ulana lakou i ka punawelewele o ka lanalana: O ka mea ai i ka lakou hua, make no ia, A i ka wa i hoopepeia'i ia, puka mai no he moonihoawa.
6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
Aole e lilo ana ko lakou punawelewele i aahu, Aole hoi lakou e uhi ia lakou iho i ka lakou hana. O ka lakou mau hana, he mau hana ia no ka hewa, Aia ma ko lakou lima ka hana hookaumaha.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
Holo no ko lakou wawae i ka hewa, A hoowikiwiki lakou i ka hookahe koko hala ole; O ko lakou mau kuka, he mau kuka no ka hewa; Aia no ka luku, a me ka make ma ko lakou kuamoo.
8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whoever goes therein shall not know peace.
Aole lakou ike i ka aoao o ka malu, Aole hoi ho pono ma ko lakou hele ana; Ua hana lakou i ala kekee no lakou; O ka mea hele malaila, aole ia e ike i ka malu.
9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither does justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
Nolaila, ua loihi ka pono mai o makou aku, Aole hahai ka hooponopono ia makou a loaa; Kakali no makou i ka malamalama, aia hoi, he pouli; A i ke alohilohi hoi, aka, ke hele nei makou ma ka poeleele.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
Ke kolo nei makou e hana i ka pa, me he makapo la, Ke kolo nei no makou, me he mea maka ole la, Kulanalana makou i ke awakea, e like me ka po; Me he poe make la, maloko o na wahi momona.
11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
Uwo no makou a pau, e like me na bea, A kaniuhu nui no hoi, e like me na manu nunu. Kakali no makou i ka hoopono, aole hoi, A i ke ola hoi, a ua mamao aku ia mai o makou aku.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
No ka mea, ua hoonuia ko makou hewa imua ou, A o ko makou hewa ka mea hoike ku e ia makou; No ka mea, me makou no ko makou hewa, A ua ike hoi makou i ko makou hala;
13 In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
I ke kipi ana, a i ka hoole ana ia Iehova, I ka huli ana hoi, mai ka hahai ana i ko makou Akua, E kamailio ana i ka alunu, a me ka hoi hope, E manao ana a e hai ana hoi, mai loko aku o ka naau i na olelo wahahee.
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
A ua hoohuli hope ia ka hoopono, Ua ku mamao aku ka pono: No ka mea, ua hina ka oiaio ma ke alanui, Aole hoi e hiki i ka pololei ke komo mai.
15 Yes, truth fails; and he that departs from evil makes himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
Oia, ua nele i ka oiaio; A o ka mea haalele i ka hewa, ua hoopioia; Ike mai no o Iehova, a huhu mai la ia, no ka mea, aohe pono.
16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
Ike iho la ia, aohe kanaka, A haohao mai la ia, no ka mea, aohe mea nana e uwao: Nolaila, no kona lima no i hoola mai nona iho, Na kona pono hoi i hookupaa ia ia.
17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation on his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
No ka mea, hookomo ia i ka pono me he paleumauma la, A me ka mahiole o ke ola ma kona poo; A hookomo no hoi oia i ka lole o ka hoopai ana, i aahu nona, A aahuia oia i ka manao ikaika, me he holoku la.
18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.
E like me na hana, pela no oia e hoouku ai, O ka inaina i ka poe ku e ia ia; E hoopai no oia i kona poe enemi; E hoouku no oia i ko na aina e.
19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
A e makau no lakou i ka inoa o Iehova, mai ke komohana mai, A i kona nani hoi, mai ka puka ana a ka la mai; I ka wa e komo mai ai ia e like me ke kahawai haiki, Na ka Uhane o Iehova e kau ana i ka hae ku e.
20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to them that turn from transgression in Jacob, says the LORD.
A e hele mai no ka Hoolapanai i Ziona, A i ka poe no hoi i huli, mai ka hewa mai, mawaena o ka Iakoba, wahi a Iehova.
21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, says the LORD; My spirit that is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed’s seed, says the LORD, from now on and for ever.
Owau hoi, eia ka'u berita me lakou, wahi a Iehova; O kuu Uhane, ka mea maluna ou, A me ka'u mau olelo, a'u i waiho ai iloko o kou waha, Aole e haalele ia mau mea i kou waha, Aole hoi i ka waha o kau mau keiki, Aole hoi i ka waha o na keiki a kau mau keiki, Mai keia wa aku, a i ke ao pau ole, Wahi a Iehova.
