Isaia 65
1 U A haliu au i ka ka poe nonoi ole mai ia'u, Ua loaa no wau i ka poe imi ole ia'u: I ko ka aina i hea ole ia ma ko'u inoa, ua olelo no au, E nana mai ia'u, e nana mai ia'u.
I let myself be consulted by people who weren't even asking me questions; I let myself be found by people who weren't even looking for me. To a nation that wasn't even calling for me, I said, “I'm here, I'm here!”
2 A po ka la, ua hohola aku au i ko'u mau lima i ka poe kanaka kipi, I ka poe i hele ma ka aoao pono ole, mamuli o ko lakou manao iho.
I spread out my hands all day long, pleading with a stubborn people who follow bad ways, doing whatever they choose.
3 He poe kanaka hoonaukiuki mau loa mai ia'u ma ko'u alo, He poe mohai aku ma na mahinaai, A kuni hoi i ka mea ala, maluna o na pohaku lepo:
These people are always making me angry, because they present sacrifices to idols in their sacred gardens, and offer incense on pagan altars made of brick.
4 He poe noho iwaena o na ilina, A moe hoi ma na wahi i hoonaloia, He poe ai i ka io puaa, a me ka supa o na mea haumia, maloko o ko lakou kiaha:
They spend the night among the graves and in caves, eating pork and cooking other unclean meats.
5 He poe olelo, E hookaawale oe ia oe ihe, mai hoopili mai ia'u, No ka mea, ua oi aku ko'u pono i kou. He uwahi no keia poe ma kuu ihu, He ahi no o a ana, a po ka la.
They tell others, “Keep your distance! Don't come close to me as I'm too holy to be touched by you!” These people are like smoke in my nostrils, a stink burning all day long!
6 Aia hoi, ua palapalaia imua o ko'u alo; Aole au e noho ekema ole, e uku aku no wau, E uku aku no wau, maloko o ko lakou poli,
Look—it's all written down right in front of me! I'm not going to keep quiet. I'm going to pay them back by throwing their punishment into their laps.
7 I ko oukou mau hewa, a me na hewa o ko oukou poe makua pu, wahi a Iehova, I ka poe i kuni i ka mea ala, maluna o na mauna, A olelo hoino mai ia'u, maluna o na puu; Nolaila, e ana aku au i ka lakou hana kahiko, maloko o ko lakou poli.
I'm going to pay you back for both your own sins and the sins of your forefathers, says the Lord, because they burned incense on the mountains and ridiculed me on the hills. I'm going to measure into their laps full payment for what they've done.
8 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E like me ka waina hou i loaa maloko o ka huhuiwaina, A olelo kekahi, Mai kiola ia, no ka mea, maloko ona ka mea e pomaikai ai, Pela no wau e hana'i no ka'u poe kauwa, I ole ai au e luku ia lakou a pau.
This is what the Lord says: It's like when there's a bit of juice left in a bunch of grapes and people say, “Don't get rid of it all; there's still some good in it,” I'll do the same for my servants—I won't destroy them all.
9 A e hoopuka no wau i ka hua, mailoko mai o Iakoba, A mai loko mai hoi o Iuda, i hooilina no ko'u mau kuahiwi, Na ko'u poe i waeia e komo ia, A na ka'u poe kauwa e noho malaila.
I will make sure Jacob has descendants, and people from Judah who can take ownership of my mountain. My chosen ones, my servants, will own the land and live there.
10 A e lilo no o Sarona i pa no na hipa, A o ke kahawai o Akora i wahi moe no na bipi, No ko'u poe kanaka i imi mai ai ia'u.
Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to rest, for my people who follow me.
11 Aka, o oukou ka poe haalele ia Iehova, A hoopoina hoi i ko'u mauna hoano, Ka poe hoomakaukau i ka papaaina no Gada, A hoomakaukau hoi i ka waina ala no Meni.
But those of you who desert the Lord and forget about my holy mountain, who prepare feasts for the god of good luck, who fill jugs of mixed wine for the god of destiny,
12 O oukou ka'u e helu aku ai no ka pahikaua, A e kulou oukou a pau i ka make; No ka mea, ia'u i hea aku ai, aole oukou i o mai, Ia'u i olelo ai, aole oukou i hoolohe; Aka, hana hewa no oukou imua o ko'u mau maka, A koho oukou i ka mea a'u i makemake ole ai.
I will make sure your destiny is to be killed by the sword. All of you will bow down to be slaughtered, because I called out to you but you didn't answer; I spoke to you, but you didn't listen. Instead you did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
13 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ka Haku, Aia hoi, e ai no ka'u poe kauwa, aka, e pololi ana oukou; Aia hoi, e inu no ka'u poe kauwa, aka, e makewai ana oukou; Aia hoi, e olioli no ka'u poe kauwa, aka, e hilahila ana oukou:
So this is what the Lord says, My servants will eat, but you will go hungry. My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty. My servants will celebrate, but you will feel ashamed.
14 Aia hoi, e oli no ka'u poe kauwa no ka hauoli o ka naau, Aka, e uwe ana oukou no ke kaumaha o ka naau, A e aoa ana no hoi no ka nahaehae ana o ka uhane.
Listen! My servants will shout because they're so happy inside, but you will cry out in deepest pain, howling because your spirit is broken.
15 A e hooili aku oukou no ko'u poe i waeia i ko oukou inoa i mea e poino ai; No ka mea, e pepehi mai no o Iehova, ka Haku, ia oe, A e kapa iho i kana poe kauwa ma ka inoa e.
Your name will only be used as a curse by my chosen ones, for the Lord God will kill you and give his servants another name.
16 O ka mea hoopomaikai ia ia iho ma ka honua, E hoopomaikai oia ia ia ma ke Akua oiaio; A o ka mea hoohiki ma ka honua, E hoohiki oia ma ke Akua oiaio; No ka mea, ua poinaia na kaumaha kahiko, A no ka mea hoi, ua hunaia lakou mai ko'u mau maka aku.
Whoever asks a blessing or takes an oath in the land will do so by the one true God, for I have forgotten the troubles of the past—I don't look on them anymore.
17 No ka mea, aia hoi, e hana ana au i lani hou, a i honua hou, Aole hoi e hoomanao hou ia ua mau mea kahiko la, Aole no e komo iloko o ka manao.
Look! I'm going to create new heavens and a new earth. The former things won't be remembered—they won't cross anyone's mind!
18 E olioli hoi oukou, a e hauoli mau loa i kela mea a'u e hana'i; No ka mea, aia hoi, e hana ana au ia Ierusalema i mea e olioli ai, A i kona poe kanaka hoi, i mea e hauoli ai.
Be glad, and be happy forever and ever in what I'm going to create, for I will make Jerusalem a delightful place, and its people a real joy.
19 A e olioli no wau ia Ierusalema, A e hauoli hoi i ko'u poe kanaka: Aole e lohe hou ia maloko ona, ka leo o ka uwe ana, A me ka leo o ke kumakena.
I will be so happy over Jerusalem; I will celebrate among my people. The sound of weeping and cries for help won't ever be heard there again.
20 Aole e loaa hou malaila ke keiki hoopiha ole i na la, Aohe hoi kanaka elemakule i hoopiha ole i kona mau la: No ka mea, e make no ke keiki, hookahi haneri makahiki, Aka, o ka mea i hana hewa, hookahi haneri ona mau makahiki, E poino ana ia.
No babies will die after just a few days, and no adults will die without having lived a long life. Those who reach a hundred will be thought of as just a child, and anyone who doesn't reach a hundred will be seen as being under a curse.
21 E kukulu hale no lakou, a e noho iloko, A e kanu no lakou i na pawaina, A e ai no hoi i ka hua o lakou.
They will build houses and live in them; they will eat the fruit of the vineyards they themselves planted.
22 Aole lakou e kukulu, a na hai e noho, Aole lakou e kanu, a na hai e ai; No ka mea, e like me na la o ka laau, Pela no na la o ko'u poe kanaka, A e noho no ko'u poe i waeia ma ka hana a ko lakou lima.
No longer will they build houses for others to live in; no longer will they plant for others to eat. For my people will live as long as trees do; my chosen ones will live long enough to enjoy all they've worked for.
23 Aole e make hewa ka lakou hana ana, Aole hoi lakou e hanau no ka make; No ka mea, o lakou ka hua a ka poe pomaikai ia Iehova, A me ka lakou poe keiki pu me lakou.
They won't work for nothing, and they won't have children destined for disaster. For they are people living under the blessing of the Lord, and their children will be too.
24 Eia hoi, mamua o ko lakou hea ana, e ae aku no wau; A ia lakou e olelo ana, e hoolohe no au.
I will reply even before they ask me. While they are still speaking, I will answer them!
25 E ai pu no ka iliohae me ke keikihipa, A e ai no ka liona i ka mauu maloo e like me ka bipi; A o ka lepo auanei ka ai a ka nahesa. Aohe mea hana ino, aohe mea pepehi ma ko'u mauna hoano a pau, wahi a Iehova.
The wolf and the lamb will eat together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. The snakes will eat dust. Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
