< Isaiah 1 >

1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and 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, heavens, and listen, earth; for YHWH has 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 knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib; but Israel doesn't know, my people do not understand.
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 loaded with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly. They have forsaken YHWH. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged and 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 you be beaten more, that you 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 to the head there is no soundness in it: wounds, welts, and open sores. They haven't been closed, neither bandaged, neither soothed 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. Strangers devour your land 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 The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard, like a hut in a field of cucumbers, like 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 YHWH of hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have been as Sodom, and we would have been like 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 YHWH, you rulers of Sodom. Listen to the law of our God, you 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 "What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?," says YHWH. "I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed animals. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.
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 you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to trample 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 offerings. Incense is an abomination to me; new moons, Sabbaths, and convocations: I can't bear with evil assemblies.
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 My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to me. I am weary 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 When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you 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 yourselves, make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my 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 justice. Relieve the oppressed. Judge 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, and let us reason together," says YHWH: "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are 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 you are willing and obedient, you 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 you refuse and rebel, the sword shall devour you; for the mouth of YHWH has spoken it."
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 the faithful city has become a prostitute. She was full of justice; righteousness lodged in her, 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 Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.
Ua lilo kou kala i oka, Ua pai pu ia kou waina me ka wai.
23 Your rulers are rebellious, companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe, chasing after payoffs. They do not judge the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to 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 YHWH of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, says: "Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries, and avenge myself of my 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 against you, and I will purge away your dross, and I will take away all your slag.
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 I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called 'The city of righteousness, a faithful town.'
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 justice, and her converts with righteousness.
E hoolaia no o Ziona i ka hoopono ana, A me kona poe pio hoi i ka hoopololei.
28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake YHWH 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 oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you 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 you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
E like auanei oukou me ka laau oka i mae ka lau, E like hoi me ka pakanu wai ole.
31 The strong will be like tinder, and his work like a spark. They will both burn together, and no one will 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.
