Isaiah 57
1 Righteous people [sometimes] die [when they are still young], and no one is concerned about it. Godly people [sometimes] die because of disasters, and no one understands why. They are taken away in order that they will not endure more calamities,
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 and now they have peace. They [continually] lived righteously, and [now] they rest [peacefully] in their graves.
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 [Yahweh says, ] “But you who practice sorcery, come here! You who worship idols [MET], [listen to me]!
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 Do you realize [RHQ] whom you are ridiculing, and whom you are insulting? Do you realize [RHQ] to whom you are sticking out your tongues? [You are insulting me, Yahweh]! You are [RHQ] always rebelling against me and always lying.
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 You are eager to have sex under every [big] green tree where you worship your gods. You kill your children as sacrifices [to your idols] in the dry riverbeds, and [also] offer them [as sacrifices to your idols] in the rocky caves.
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 [You take big] smooth stones from the riverbeds and worship them as your gods. You pour out [wine] to be an offering to them, and you bring grain [to burn for] an offering to them. Do you think that I should not punish you for doing all those things?
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 You have sex [EUP] [with cult prostitutes] on every hill and mountain, and you go there to offer sacrifices [to your gods].
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 You have put (fetishes/pagan symbols) behind your doors and doorposts, and you have deserted me. You have taken off your clothes [EUP] and climbed into your bed and invited more [of your lovers] to come to bed with you. You have paid them to have sex with you, and you have fondled their sexual organs.
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 You have given [fragrant] oil and lots of perfume to your god Molech, and you sent messengers to distant countries [to find other gods to worship]; you [even tried to] send [messengers] to the place of the dead [to search for new gods]. (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 You became weary because of doing all those things, but you never said, ‘It is useless [for us to do that].’ You found new strength for worshiping idols, so you continued to do that [LIT].
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 Was it because you were afraid [of those idols more than you were afraid of me] that you lied [about what you were doing], and you do not even think about [DOU, RHQ] me? Was it because I did not punish you for a long time that you are not afraid of me [RHQ]?
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 You [think that] [IRO] the things that you have done are right, but I will tell the truth. It will not help you to do any of those things.
E hai aku no au i kou pono, a me kau mau hana, Aole oe e pomaikai ia mau mea.
13 When you cry out [for help] to your collection of idols, they will not rescue you. The wind will blow them away [DOU]. But those who trust in me will live in the land [of Israel], and [they will worship me on Zion], my sacred hill.”
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 Yahweh will say, “Prepare [yourselves to receive] me, [like] [MET] people build and prepare a road [for a king to come on]. Get rid of [the things that are causing you to sin] [like] [MET] people remove from a road (obstacles/things that cause people to stumble).
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 Because this is what [I], Yahweh, who am holy and greatly honored and who live forever, say: I live in the highest heaven, where [everything] is holy, but I also am with those who are humble and who are sorry for the sinful things that they have done. I will greatly encourage [DOU] those who have repented.
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 I will not accuse [people] forever; I will not always be angry [with them], because [if I did that], people would become weak/discouraged; all the people whom I created and caused to live would die.
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 I was angry [with my people] because they sinned by wanting the things that others had. So because I was angry, I punished them and turned away from them, but they continued sinning.
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 the evil things that they continually do, but I will restore them and lead them. I will encourage/comfort them. And to those who are mourning,
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 will enable them to sing songs to praise me. I will restore [all my people], those who live near [Jerusalem] and those who live far away, and I will cause things to go well for them.
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 Wicked [people do not have peace in their inner beings]; they are like [SIM] a sea [whose waves are] always churning up mud,
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 and [I], Yahweh, say that things will never (go well/be peaceful) for those who are evil.”
Aohe malu no ka poe hewa, wahi a ke Akua o'u.
