< Isaiah 58 >
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and declare unto my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
E KAHEA nui aku, mai uumi, E hookiekie i kou leo me he pu la, E hoike i ko'u poe kanaka i ko lakou hewa, A i ko ka hale o Iakoba i ko lakou hala.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that doeth righteousness, and hath not forsaken the ordinance of their God; they ask of me the ordinances of righteousness, they take delight in approaching to God:
Aka, imi no lakou ia'u i kela la i keia la, A olioli lakou i ka ike ana i ko'u mau aoao, Me he lahuikanaka la i hana i ka pono, A haalele ole i ke kanawai o ko lakou Akua. Ninau mai no lakou ia'u i ka hooponopono pololei ana, A olioli lakou i ka hookokoke ana i ke Akua.
3 — Wherefore have we fasted, and thou seest not; have afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find what pleaseth [you], and exact all your labours.
No ke aha la makou i hookeai ai, a ike ole mai oe, wahi a lakou? A hookaumaha makou i ko makou uhane, A ua hoomaopopo ole mai oe? Aia hoi, i ka la o ko oukou hookeai ana, Loaa no ia oukou ka lealea, Koi aku oukou i ka oukou hana a pau.
4 Behold, ye have fasted for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness; ye do not at present fast, to cause your voice to be heard on high.
Aia hoi, hookeai no oukou no ka paio, a me ka hakaka, I kuikui aku me ka lima hana ino: Aole hookeai oukou e like me ko keia la, I mea e loheia'i ko oukou leo maluna.
5 Is such the fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his soul, — that he should bow down his head as a bulrush, and spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? Wilt thou call this a fast, and a day acceptable to Jehovah?
O ka hookeai anei me ia ka'u i makemake ai? He la e hookaumaha ai ke kanaka i kona uhane? E hookulou hoi i kona poo ilalo, me he kaluha la? A haalii i ke kapa ino, a me ka lehu ahi? E kapa aku anei oe i keia, he hookeai, A he la oluolu no Iehova?
6 Is not this the fast which I have chosen: to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the yoke, and to send forth free the crushed, and that ye break every yoke?
Aole anei penei, ka hookeai a'u i makemake ai? O ka wehe i na mea paa o ka hookaumaha, E hookuu iho i na haawe kaumaha, A e kuu aku hoi e hele ka poe i hookaumahain, A i uhaki no hoi oukou i na auamo a pau?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring to thy house the needy wanderers; when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Aole anei, o ka haawi aku i kau berena no ka poe pololi, A i lawe mai hoi oe ma kou hale i ka poe hune i hana ino ia? Ia oe hoi e ike ai i ka mea ku kohana, i uhi oe ia ia? I huna ole hoi oe ia oe, i kou io iho?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the dawn, and thy health shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee, the glory of Jehovah shall be thy rearguard.
Alaila, e poha aku no kou malamalama, e like me ko ke kakahiaka, A e puka koke mai no kou ola; A e hele no kou pono ma kou alo, A o ka nani o Iehova auanei ka mea hele mahope ou.
9 Then shalt thou call, and Jehovah will answer; thou shalt cry, and he will say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger and the unjust speech,
Alaila, e hea aku no oe, a e olelo mai no o Iehova; A ina e uwe aku oe, e i mai no oia, Eia no wau. Ina e hoolei aku oe, mai ou aku, i ka auamo, A me ka o ana aku o ka manamana lima, a me ka olelo ana i ka lapuwale;
10 and thou proffer thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall thy light rise in the darkness, and thine obscurity be as midday;
Ina hu aku kou uhane i ka poe pololi, A hoomaona hoi oe i ka uhane o ka poe popilikia; Alaila, e puka mai no kou malamalama maloko o ka pouli, A e like auanei kou pouli me ke awakea:
11 and Jehovah will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and strengthen thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a water-spring, whose waters deceive not.
A na Iehova no e alakai mau loa ia oe, A nana no hoi e hoomaona ia oe maloko o na aina maloo, A nana no hoi e hooikaika i kou mau iwi; A e like auanei oe me ka mahinaai i hoomau maikai ia, E like hoi me ka waipuna i maloo ole na wai.
12 And they [that come] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations [that have remained] from generation to generation; and thou shalt be called, Repairer of the breaches, restorer of frequented paths.
O ka poe mai loko aku ou, na lakou no e hana hou i na wahi neoneo kahiko, A e kukulu hou hoi maluna o na kumu o na hanauna he nui loa; A e kapaia no hoi oe, Ka mea hana hou i kahi naha, Ka mea hoihoi mai i na alanui, i wahi e noho ai.
13 If thou turn back thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the sabbath a delight, the holy [day] of Jehovah, honourable; and thou honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [idle] words;
Ina e malama oe i kou wawae i ko'u la Sabati, Aole hoi e hana i kou lealea i ko'u la hoano; A kapa aku hoi i ka la Sabati, ho olioli, Ka mea hemolele o Iehova, a me ka nani; A hoomaikai hoi oe ia, me ka hana ole i kou mau aoao, Aole me ka imi i kou lealea iho, Aole hoi me ka olelo i kau mau olelo iho;
14 then shalt thou delight thyself in Jehovah, and I will cause thee to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
Alaila, e olioli no oe ia Iehova; A na'u no e hooholo ia oe ma na wahi kiekie o ka honua, A e hanai aku au ia oe i ka hooilina a Iakoba, a kou kupunakane; No ka mea, na ka waha o Iehova i olelo mai.
