Isaia 1
1 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.
The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 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.
Hear, heavens, and give ear, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children, but they have rebelled against me.
3 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.
The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's feeding trough, but Israel does not know, Israel does not understand.”
4 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.
Woe! Nation, sinners, a people weighed down with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who act corruptly! They have abandoned Yahweh, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they have estranged themselves from him.
5 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.
Why are you still being beaten? Why do you rebel more and more? The whole head is sick, the whole heart is weak.
6 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.
From the sole of the foot to the head there is no part unharmed; only wounds, and bruises, and fresh open wounds; they have not been closed, cleansed, bandaged, nor treated with oil.
7 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.
Your country is ruined; your cities are burned; your fields—in your presence, strangers are destroying them— abandoned devastation, overthrown by strangers.
8 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.
The daughter of Zion is left like a hut in a vineyard, like a shed in a garden of cucumbers, like a besieged city.
9 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.
If Yahweh of hosts had not left for us a small remnant, we would have been like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.
10 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.
Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah:
11 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.
“What is the multitude of your sacrifices to me?” says Yahweh. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fatted beasts; and in the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats I do not delight.
12 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?
When you come to appear before me, who has required this of you, to trample my courts?
13 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.
Bring no more meaningless offerings; incense is an abomination to me; your new moon and Sabbath assemblies—I cannot tolerate these wicked assemblies.
14 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.
I hate your new moons and your appointed feasts; they are a burden to me; I am tired of enduring them.
15 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.
So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even though you offer many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.
16 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;
Wash, cleanse yourselves; remove the evil of your deeds from my sight; stop being evil;
17 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.
learn to do good; seek justice, make straight the oppression, give justice to the fatherless, defend the widow.”
18 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.
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says Yahweh; “though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white like snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool.
19 Ina e ae mai oukou e hoolohe, E ai no oukou i ka maikai o ka aina.
If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land,
20 Aka, ina e hoole mai oukou, a e hoopaakiki, E pau auanei oukou i ka pahikaua; Na ka waha o Iehova i olelo mai.
but if you refuse and rebel, the sword will devour you,” for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.
21 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,
How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She who was full of justice—she was full of righteousness, but now she is full of murderers.
22 Ua lilo kou kala i oka, Ua pai pu ia kou waina me ka wai.
Your silver has become impure, your wine mixed with water.
23 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.
Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes and runs after payoffs. They do not defend the fatherless, nor does the widow's legal plea come before them.
24 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.
Therefore this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: “Woe to them! I will take vengeance against my adversaries, and avenge myself against my enemies;
25 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.
I will turn my hand against you, refine away your dross as with lye, and take away all your dross.
26 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.
I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning; after that you will be called the city of righteousness, a faithful town.”
27 E hoolaia no o Ziona i ka hoopono ana, A me kona poe pio hoi i ka hoopololei.
Zion will be redeemed by justice, and her repentant ones by righteousness.
28 E luku pu ia ka poe kipi a me ka poe hewa, A e hoopauia auanei ka poe haalele ia Iehova.
Rebels and sinners will be crushed together, and those who abandon Yahweh will be done away with.
29 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.
“For you will be ashamed of the sacred oak trees that you desired, and you will be embarrassed by the gardens that you have chosen.
30 E like auanei oukou me ka laau oka i mae ka lau, E like hoi me ka pakanu wai ole.
For you will be like an oak whose leaf fades, and like a garden that has no water.
31 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.
The strong man will be like tinder, and his work like a spark; they will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”
