< 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 visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he has seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, 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, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For YHWH has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up sons, And they transgressed 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 has known its owner, And a donkey the crib of its master, Israel has not known, My people have not understood.”
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.
Oh, sinning nation, a people heavy [with] iniquity, A seed of evildoers, sons—corrupters! They have forsaken YHWH, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have gone away backward.
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 struck anymore? You add apostasy! Every head has become diseased, and every heart [is] sick.
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 soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh striking! They have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with ointment.
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 land [is] a desolation, your cities burned with fire, Your ground—strangers are consuming it before you, And a desolation as 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.
And the daughter of Zion has been left, As a shelter in a vineyard, As a lodge in a place of cucumbers—as a city besieged.
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.
Unless YHWH of Hosts had left a remnant to us, Shortly—we had been as Sodom, We had been like to 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 YHWH, you rulers of Sodom, Give ear 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.
“Why the abundance of your sacrifices to Me?” says YHWH, “I have been satiated [with] burnt-offerings of rams, And fat of fatlings; And blood of bullocks, and lambs, And I have not desired male 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, Who has required this of your hand, 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.
Do not add to bring in a vain present, Incense—it [is] an abomination to Me, New moon, and Sabbath, calling of convocation! Do not render iniquity—and a restraint!
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.
My soul has hated your new moons and your set seasons, They have been on Me for a burden, I have been weary of bearing.
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.
And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide My eyes from you, Also when you increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands have been 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, make yourselves pure, Turn aside the evil of your doings, from before My eyes, Cease to do evil, learn to do good.
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.
Seek judgment, make the oppressed blessed, Judge the fatherless, strive [for] 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.
Now come, and we settle this,” says YHWH, “If your sins are as scarlet, they will be white as snow, If they are red as crimson, they will be as wool!
19 Ina e ae mai oukou e hoolohe, E ai no oukou i ka maikai o ka aina.
If you are willing, and have listened, The good of the land you consume,
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.
And if you refuse, and have rebelled, You are consumed [by] the sword,” For the mouth of YHWH has spoken.
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 has a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it [with] judgment, Righteousness lodges in it—now murderers.
22 Ua lilo kou kala i oka, Ua pai pu ia kou waina me ka wai.
Your silver has become dross, Your drink defiled 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] apostates, and companions of thieves, Everyone loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, They do not judge the fatherless, And the plea of the widow does not come to 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—a declaration of the Lord—YHWH of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: “Oh, I relieve Myself from 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.
And I turn back My hand on you, And I refine your dross as purity, And I turn aside all your tin,
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.
And I give back your judges as at the first, And your counselors as in the beginning, After this you are called, A city of righteousness—a faithful city.”
27 E hoolaia no o Ziona i ka hoopono ana, A me kona poe pio hoi i ka hoopololei.
Zion is redeemed in judgment, And her captivity in righteousness.
28 E luku pu ia ka poe kipi a me ka poe hewa, A e hoopauia auanei ka poe haalele ia Iehova.
And the destruction of transgressors and sinners [is] together, And those forsaking YHWH are consumed.
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 [men] are ashamed because of the oaks That you have desired, And you are confounded because of 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 are as an oak whose leaf is fading, And as 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.
And the strong has been for tow, And his work for a spark, And both of them have burned together, And there is none quenching!
