< Isaiah 56 >
1 Thus saith the Lord, Keepe iudgement and doe iustice: for my saluation is at hand to come, and my righteousnes to be reueiled.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Tauhi ʻae fakamaau, pea fai māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku ofi ʻae haʻu ʻa ʻeku fakamoʻui, pea mo e fakahā ʻo ʻeku māʻoniʻoni.
2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the sonne of man which layeth holde on it: hee that keepeth the Sabbath and polluteth it not, and keepeth his hand from doing any euill.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku fai ʻae meʻa ni, pea mo e foha ʻoe tangata ʻoku puke ki ai; ʻaia ʻoku tauhi ʻae ʻaho tapu taʻefakaʻuli ia, pea ʻoku taʻofi hono nima mei he fai kovi kotoa pē.”
3 And let not the sonne of the stranger, which is ioyned to the Lord, speake and say, The Lord hath surely separate me from his people: neither let the Eunuch say, Beholde, I am a drye tree.
Ke ʻoua foki naʻa lea ʻae foha ʻoe muli, ʻaia kuo ne fakahoko ia kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Kuo vaheʻi ʻaupito au ʻe Sihova mei hono kakai:” pea ʻoua naʻa pehē ʻe he ʻiunoke, “Vakai, ko e ʻakau mōmoa au.”
4 For thus saith the Lord vnto the Eunuches, that keepe my Sabbaths, and chuse the thing that pleaseth me, and take holde of my couenant,
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ki ho ngaahi ʻiunoke ʻoku tauhi ʻeku ngaahi Sāpate, pea ʻoku fili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ou fiemālie ai, pea puke ki heʻeku fuakava.
5 Euen vnto them wil I giue in mine House and within my walles, a place and a name better then of the sonnes and of the daughters: I will giue them an euerlasting name, that shall not be put out.
ʻIo, te u foaki kiate kinautolu ʻi hoku fale pea ʻi hoku lotoʻā ha potu, pea mo ha hingoa lelei lahi ʻi he ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine: te u foaki kiate kinautolu ha hingoa taʻengata, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai ʻauha.
6 Also the strangers that cleaue vnto the Lord, to serue him, and to loue the Name of the Lord, and to be his seruants: euery one that keepeth the Sabbath, and polluteth it not and imbraceth my couenant,
Pea mo e ngaahi foha ʻoe muli, ʻoku fakahoko ʻakinautolu kia Sihova, ke tauhi ia, pea ke ʻofa ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, ke hoko ko ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki, ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tauhi ʻae ʻaho tapu kae ʻikai fakaʻuli ia, pea ʻoku puke maʻu ki heʻeku fuakava;
7 Them wil I bring also to mine holy mountaine, and make them ioyfull in mine House of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted vpon mine altar: for mine House shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
ʻIo, ko kinautolu te u ʻomi ki hoku moʻunga tapu, pea te u fakafiefiaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi hoku falelotu: ʻe maʻu ʻi hoku feilaulauʻanga ʻa ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau; koeʻuhi ʻe ui hoku fale ko e falelotu ki he kakai fulipē.”
8 The Lord God sayth, which gathereth the scattered of Israel, Yet wil I gather to them those that are to be gathered to them.
ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku tānaki ʻae kau liʻaki ʻo ʻIsileli, “Ka te u toe tānaki mo ha niʻihi kiate ia fakataha mo kinautolu kuo u tānaki kiate ia.”
9 All ye beastes of the fielde, come to deuoure, euen all ye beastes of the forest.
Mou haʻu ke keina, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae fanga manu ʻoe ngoue, ʻio, ʻakimoutolu ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao.
10 Their watchmen are all blinde: they haue no knowledge: they are all dumme dogs: they can not barke: they lie and sleepe and delite in sleeping.
ʻOku kui hono kau tangata leʻo: ʻoku vale kotoa pē, ko e fanga kulī noa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa kalou; ʻoku mohe, pea tokoto hifo, ʻo manako ki he mohe.
11 And these griedy dogs can neuer haue ynough: and these shepheards cannot vnderstand: for they all looke to their owne way, euery one for his aduantage, and for his owne purpose.
ʻIo, ko e fanga kulī ʻuakai, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito mākona, pea ko e kau tauhi taʻeʻilo ʻakinautolu: ʻoku nau vakai kotoa pē ki honau hala taki taha, ke maʻu meʻa mei hono potu.
12 Come, I wil bring wine, and we wil fill our selues with strong drinke, and to morowe shalbe as this day, and much more abundant.
ʻOku nau pehē, “Haʻu ʻakimoutolu te u ʻomi ʻae uaine, pea te tau inu ke tau fonu ʻi he inu mālohi; pea ʻe tatau ʻae ʻapongipongi mo e ʻaho ni, pea ʻe lahi hake ia.”
