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.
This is the vision that Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem in the reigns 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.
Heavens, listen! Earth, pay attention! For the Lord has spoken! I brought up children, I cared for them, 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.
An ox knows its owner, and a donkey knows its feeding trough; but my people don't know me, they don't understand me.
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.
What a sinful nation—a people carrying such a load of guilt, an evil generation, corrupt children! They have abandoned the Lord. They have despised Israel's Holy One. They have become strangers. They have gone backwards.
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.
Are you wanting to be punished? Are you going to continue to rebel? The whole of your head is damaged, and your heart is totally giving out.
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.
You're injured from head to toe, bruised and sore, with open wounds that haven't been cleaned or bandaged or treated with olive 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 has been devastated, your towns burned down, your fields stripped bare by foreigners right in front of you, as they turn it all into a wasteland.
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 shack in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a city under attack.
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 the Lord Almighty hadn't let a few of us survive, we would have become like Sodom and 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.
Listen to what the Lord has to say, you rulers of Sodom! Pay attention to the instructions 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 use are all your many sacrifices to me? asks the Lord. I am sick and tired of your burnt offerings of rams and the fat of sacrificial animals. I don't delight in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats!
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 in worship, who asked you to proudly tramp around 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.
Don't bring me any more meaningless offerings; your incense is offensive to me. Your new moon festivals and Sabbath observations and your calling of special religious meetings—I can't stand them because they're evil, as are your solemn 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 detest your new moon and yearly festivals with my whole being! They've become just a burden to me—I can't bear them anymore!
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.
When you hold up your hands to me in prayer, I'll look away. Even though you pray many prayers, I won't pay attention to them, because 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 yourselves and clean yourselves up. Get rid of your sins—I don't want to see them! Stop doing 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; strive for justice, condemn those who oppress others; support the rights of orphans, take up cases to defend widows.
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 on, let's argue this out, says the Lord. Even though your sins are like scarlet, they will become white like snow. Even though they are red like crimson, they will become like wool.
19 Ina e ae mai oukou e hoolohe, E ai no oukou i ka maikai o ka aina.
If you really want this, and if you do as you're told, then you yourselves will eat the best things that the land produces.
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 are defiant, and if you are rebellious, you'll be killed by the sword. This is what the Lord has declared!
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,
The city that used to be faithful has turned into a prostitute! Once she operated on principles of justice and followed what was right, but now only murderers live there.
22 Ua lilo kou kala i oka, Ua pai pu ia kou waina me ka wai.
Your silver has become worthless waste; you wine has been watered down.
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 leaders are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and want to get kickbacks. They don't defend the rights of orphans, and refuse to take cases to help widows.
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.
So this is what the Lord says, the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel: Ha! I will take satisfaction in punishing my enemies, by paying back those who hate me!
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 against you. I will refine you in a furnace, removing all impurities.
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 give you good leaders as you used to have before, wise counselors as you had in the beginning. After that you will once again be called the City of Integrity, the Faithful City.
27 E hoolaia no o Ziona i ka hoopono ana, A me kona poe pio hoi i ka hoopololei.
Zion will be rescued by justice, those who repent by doing right.
28 E luku pu ia ka poe kipi a me ka poe hewa, A e hoopauia auanei ka poe haalele ia Iehova.
But rebels and sinners will be destroyed together, and those who abandon the Lord will die.
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.
You will be ashamed about how you enjoyed your pagan worship among the oak trees; you will be embarrassed because you chose the pleasure gardens of idols.
30 E like auanei oukou me ka laau oka i mae ka lau, E like hoi me ka pakanu wai ole.
As a result you will become like an oak whose leaves have withered, a dried-out 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.
Your strong people will become like tinder, and their work will become like a spark. They will burn together, and nobody will be able to put out the flames.
