Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and godly men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
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 He entereth into peace, they rest in their beds, each one that walketh in his uprightness.
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 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.
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 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
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 Ye that inflame yourselves among the terebinths, under every leafy tree; that slay the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
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 Among the smooth stones of the valley is thy portion; they, they are thy lot; even to them hast thou poured a drink-offering, thou hast offered a meal-offering. Should I pacify Myself for these 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 Upon a high and lofty mountain hast thou set thy bed; thither also wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
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 And behind the doors and the posts hast thou set up thy symbol; for thou hast uncovered, and art gone up from Me, thou hast enlarged thy bed, and chosen thee of them whose bed thou lovedst, whose hand thou sawest.
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 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thine ambassadors far off, even down to the nether-world. (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 Thou wast wearied with the length of thy way; yet saidst thou not: 'There is no hope'; thou didst find a renewal of thy strength, therefore thou wast not affected.
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 And of whom hast thou been afraid and in fear, that thou wouldest fail? And as for Me, thou hast not remembered Me, nor laid it to thy heart. Have not I held My peace even of long time? Therefore thou fearest Me not.
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 I will declare thy righteousness; thy works also — they shall not profit thee.
E hai aku no au i kou pono, a me kau mau hana, Aole oe e pomaikai ia mau mea.
13 When thou criest, let them that thou hast gathered deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away, a breath shall bear them off; but he that taketh refuge in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain.
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 And He will say: cast ye up, cast ye up, clear the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of My people.
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 For thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
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 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit that enwrappeth itself is from Me, and the souls which I have made.
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 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth and smote him, I hid Me and was wroth; and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
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 his ways, and will heal him; I will lead him also, and requite with comforts him and his mourners.
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 Peace, peace, to him that is far off and to him that is near, saith the LORD that createth the fruit of the lips; and I will heal him.
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 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
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 There is no peace, saith my God concerning the wicked.
Aohe malu no ka poe hewa, wahi a ke Akua o'u.
