Esias 58
1 Cry aloud, and spare not; lift up your voice as with a trumpet, and declare to my people their sins, and to the house of Jacob their iniquities.
“Tangi kalanga, ʻoua ʻe taʻofi, hiki hake ho leʻo ʻo hangē ko e meʻalea, pea fakahā ki hoku kakai ʻenau angahala, pea ki he fale ʻo Sēkope ʻenau ngaahi hia.
2 They seek me day by day, and desire to know my ways, as a people that had done righteousness, and had not forsaken the judgement of their God: they now ask of me righteous judgement, and desire to draw near to God,
Ka ʻoku nau kumi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē kiate au, pea fiefia ʻi he ʻilo ki hoku ngaahi hala, ʻo hangē ko e puleʻanga naʻe fai māʻoniʻoni, pea taʻeliʻaki ʻae tuʻutuʻuni ʻa honau ʻOtua: ʻoku nau kole kiate au ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe angatonu; ʻoku nau fiefia ʻi he ʻunuʻunu atu ki he ʻOtua.
3 saying, Why have we fasted, and you regard not? [why] have we afflicted our souls, and you did not know it? Nay, in the days of your fasts you find your pleasures, and all them that are under your power you wound.
ʻOku nau pehē, ‘Ko e hā kuo mau ʻaukai, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻafioʻi? Ko e hā kuo mau fakamamahi ai homau laumālie, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokangaʻi?’ “Vakai ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hoʻomou ʻaukai ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻae fiemālie, pea pule ke fai hoʻomou ngāue kotoa pē.
4 If you fast for quarrels and strifes, and strike the lowly with [your] fists, therefore do you fast to me as [you do] this day, so that your voice may be heard in crying?
Vakai, ʻoku mou ʻaukai ke fakakikihi mo alea lalahi, pea ke tā ʻaki ʻae nima ʻoe angahala: ʻe ʻikai te mou ʻaukai ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho ni, ke ngaohi ke ongo homou leʻo ki ʻolunga.
5 I have not chosen this fast, nor [such] a day for a man to afflict his soul; neither though you should bend down your neck as a ring, and spread under you sackcloth and ashes, neither thus shall you call a fast acceptable.
ʻOku pehē koā ʻae ʻaukai kuo u fili? Ko e ʻaho ke fakamamahi ʻe he tangata hono laumālie? Ko e meʻa ia ke mapelu ki lalo hono ʻulu ʻo hangē ko e kaho, pea ke fofola ʻae tauangaʻa mo e efuefu ki lalo ʻiate ia? Te ke ui ʻae meʻa ni ko e ʻaukai, pea ko e ʻaho fakatuʻotuʻamelie kia Sihova?
6 I have not chosen such a fast, says the Lord; but do you loose every burden of iniquity, do you untie the knots of hard bargains, set the bruised free, and cancel every unjust account.
“ʻIkai ko eni ʻae ʻaukai kuo u fili? Ke vete ʻae ngaahi noʻo ʻoe angahala, ke vete ʻae ngaahi kavenga mamafa, pea ke tukuange ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ke motumotuhi ʻae ngaahi haʻamonga kotoa pē?
7 Break your bread to the hungry, and lead the unsheltered poor to your house: if you see one naked, clothe [him], and you shall not disregard the relations of your own seed.
ʻIkai ko e meʻa ke tufaki hoʻo mā ki he fiekaia, pea ke ʻomi ʻae masiva kuo lī kituʻa ki ho fale? ʻOka ke ka mamata ki he telefua, ke fakakofu ia; pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū koe mei ho sino ʻoʻou?
8 Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall speedily spring forth: and your righteousness shall go before you, and the glory of God shall compass you.
Ka pehē ʻe toki ulo atu hoʻo maama ʻo hangē ko e pongipongi, pea ʻe tupu vave hoʻo moʻui lelei: pea ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻi ho ʻao ʻa hoʻo māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻe muimui ʻiate koe ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova.
9 Then shall you cry, and God shall listen to you; while you are yet speaking he will say, Behold, I am here. If you remove from you the band, and the stretching forth of the hands, and murmuring speech;
Pea te ke toki ui pea ʻe tali ʻe Sihova; te ke kalanga, pea te ne pehē, ‘Ko au eni.’ “Kapau te ke toʻo mei ho ʻao ʻae haʻamonga, ʻae tuhutuhu ʻoe nima, mo e lea taʻeʻaonga.
10 and [if] you give bread to the hungry from your heart, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light spring up in darkness, and your darkness [shall be] as noon-day:
Pea kapau te ke tangaki ho laumālie ki he fiekaia, pea fafanga ʻae laumālie ʻoku mamahi; pea ʻe toki ʻalu hake ho maama ʻi he fakapoʻuli, pea tatau ʻae fakapoʻuli mo e hoʻatāmālie:
11 and your God shall be with you continually, and you shall be satisfied according as your soul desires; and your bones shall be made fat, and shall be as a well-watered garden, and as a fountain [from] which the water has not failed.
Pea ʻe fakahinohino koe ʻe Sihova maʻuaipē, pea ʻe fakainu ho laumālie ʻoka ʻikai ha vai, pea ʻe fakamālohi ho ngaahi hui: pea te ke hangē ko e ngoue ʻoku fakaviviku, pea hangē ko e matavai moʻui, ʻoku tupu maʻuaipē hono vai.
12 And your old waste desert [places] shall be built up, and your foundations shall last through all generations; and you shall be called a repairer of breaches, and you shall cause your paths between to be in peace.
Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻiate koe te nau toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu lala: te ke fokotuʻu hake ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe ngaahi toʻutangata lahi; pea ʻe ui koe, ko e fakalelei ʻoe potu ʻā kuo maumau, mo e toe fakapapa ʻoe hala ke ʻalu ai ʻae kakai.
13 If you turn away your foot from the sabbath, so as not to do your pleasure on the holy days, and shall call the sabbaths delightful, holy to God; [if] you shall not lift up your foot to work, nor speak a word in anger out of your mouth,
“Kapau te ke taʻofi ho vaʻe ʻi he ʻaho tapu, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ki ho loto ʻi hoku ʻaho māʻoniʻoni; pea ke ui ʻae ʻaho tapu ko e fakafiefia, ko e ʻaho māʻoniʻoni ʻo Sihova, ko e ongoongolelei; pea fakaʻapaʻapa ki ai, ʻo taʻefai ki ho ngaahi hala, ʻo taʻefai ki ho loto, pea taʻeleaʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaʻau:
14 then shall you trust on the Lord; and he shall bring you up to the good places of the land, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.
Pehē, te ke toki fiefia koe ʻia Sihova; pea te u ngaohi koe ke ke heka ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo māmani, pea te u fafanga ʻaki koe ʻae tofiʻa ʻo Sēkope ko hoʻo tamai:” he kuo folofola pehē ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova.
