Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth [it] to heart: and merciful men [are] taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].
MAKE no ke kanaka pono, aohe nae kanaka i hoomanao ia mea; Ua laweia'ku la na kanaka lokomaikai, Aole nae kanaka i noonoo, Ua laweia'ku ka mea i pono, mai ke alo aku o ka hewa.
2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, [each one] walking [in] his uprightness.
E hele aku no oia me ka malu, E hoomaha lakou ma ko lakou wahi moe, O ka mea hoi i hele ma kona pololei.
3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
E hookokoke mai oukou ianei, e na keiki a ke kilo wahine, Na keiki hoi a ke kane moe kolohe, a me ka wahine hookamakama.
4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, [and] draw out the tongue? [are] ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
Ia wai oukou e olioli ewaewa ai? A hoohamama oukou i ka waha iawai? A hooloihi ae i ke alelo? Aole anei oukou he poe keiki na ka poe hewa? A he hanauna hoi na ka wahahee?
5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
A ua wela hoi i na'kuakii malalo o na laau uliuli a pau, A ua luku aku hoi i na keiki ma na awawa, A malalo hoi ma na ana o na pohaku?
6 Among the smooth [stones] of the stream [is] thy portion; they, they [are] thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
Aia no kou kuleana, ma na pohaku olohelohe o ke awawa, O lakou, o lakou no kou lihi. Oia, ua ninini aku oe i ka mohaiinu no lakou; Ua kaumaha aku no hoi i ka mohai ai. E olioli anei au i keia mau mea?
7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
Maluna o ka mauna kiekie, malaila no oe i kaikai ai i kou wahi moe, Malaila no oe i pii aku ai, e kaumaha aku i ka mohai.
8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered [thyself to another] than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest [it].
Mahope o na puka, a me na lapauwila, Ua kukulu oe i kou mea e hoomanao ai; No ka mea, ua hoike aku oe ia oe iho i ka mea e, aole ia'u, A ua pii aku hoi, a ua hoakea oe i kou wahi moe, A ua hana oe i mea ike nou me lakou; Makemake no oe i ko lakou wahi moe, ua hoomakaukau oe i wahi nona.
9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase [thyself even] unto hell. (Sheol h7585)
Hele aku no oe i ke alii me ka aila ala, A ua hoomahuahua oe i kou mau mea manoi, A ua hoouna aku oe i kou poe elele i kahi loihi, A ua hoopoho no oe ia oe iho, a lilo i ka po. (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; [yet] saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
I ka loihi o kou hele ana, ua maloeloe oe, Aole nae oe i olelo, ua make hewa; Ua loaa ia oe ke ola ana o kou lima, Nolaila, aole oe i paupauaho.
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid [it] to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
Ua hopohopo oe ia wai, a makau hoi, I wahahee ai oe, aole hoi i hoomanao mai ia'u, Aole hoi i aloha mai ma kou naau? Aole anei au i noho ekemu ole, mai ka wa kahiko loa mai, A makau ole hoi oe ia'u?
12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
E hai aku no au i kou pono, a me kau mau hana, Aole oe e pomaikai ia mau mea.
13 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take [them: ] but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
Ia oe e kahea aku ai, na kou poe oe e hoopakele; E kaikai aku no ka makani ia lakou a pau; Na ka onini lakou e lawe aku; Aka, o ka mea hilinai mai ia'u, nana no e noho i ka aina, A e ili mai no ko'u mauna hoano ia ia.
14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
Olelo iho la ia, E hoouka i ke ala, e hoouka i ke ala. E koomakaukau i ke kuamoo, E kaikai aku i na mea e hina'i, mai ke ala aku o ko'u poe kanaka.
15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a ka Mea i hapaiia, Ka Mea i hookiekie hoi, e noho ana ma ke ao pau ole, O Hemolele kona inoa; E noho no au ma kahi kiekie, a hemolele hoi, Me ka mea hoi i mihi, a haahaa hoi ka uhane, E hoomaha i ka uhane o ka mea haahaa, A e hoomaha hoi i ka naau o ka poe mihi.
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls [which] I have made.
No ka mea, aole au e paio mau loa, Aole hoi au e huhu aku i na manawa a pau; O maule imua o'u ka naau, A me na uhane a'u i hana'i.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
No ka hewa o kona alunu i huhu aku ai au, a hahau aku la ia ia; Huna no wau i ko'u maka, a huhu aku no; Aka, hele no oia ma ke kolohe, ma ka aoao no o kona naau.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
Ua ike no au i kona mau aoao, a e hoola aku no au ia ia; A e alakai no hoi au ia ia, A e hoihoi aku i ka maha ia ia, a i kona poe kumakena no hoi.
19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to [him that is] far off, and to [him that is] near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
Na'u no e hana i ka hua o na lehelehe; Ua malu, ua malu ka mea mamao aku, a me ka mea kokoke mai, Wahi a Iehova, a na'u no ia e hoola aku.
20 But the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
Ua like ka poe hewa me ke kai kupikipikio, A hiki ole ke lana malie, a ua hooleilei na wai ona i ka wai eka, a me ka lepo.
21 [There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
Aohe malu no ka poe hewa, wahi a ke Akua o'u.
