Isaiah 58

1 Crye aloude, spare not: lift vp thy voyce like a trumpet, and shewe my people their transgression, and to the house of Iaakob, their sinnes.

“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 Yet they seeke me dayly, and will knowe my wayes, euen as a nation that did righteously, and had not forsaken the statutes of their God: they aske of me the ordinances of iustice: they wil drawe neere vnto God, saying,

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 Wherefore haue we fasted, and thou seest it not? we haue punished our selues, and thou regardest it not. Beholde, in the day of your fast you will seeke your will, and require all your dettes.

‌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 Beholde, ye fast to strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickednesse: ye shall not fast as ye doe to day, to make your voyce to be heard aboue.

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 Is it such a fast that I haue chosen, that a man should afflict his soule for a day, and to bowe downe his head, as a bull rush, and to lie downe in sackecloth and ashes? wilt thou call this a fasting, or an acceptable day to the Lord?

‌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 Is not this the fasting, that I haue chosen, to loose the bandes of wickednes, to take off the heauie burdens, and to let the oppressed goe free, and that ye breake euery yoke?

“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 Is it not to deale thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poore that wander, vnto thine house? when thou seest the naked, that thou couer him, and hide not thy selfe from thine owne flesh?

‌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 thy light breake foorth as the morning, and thine health shall grow speedily: thy righteousnes shall goe before thee, and the glorie of the Lord shall embrace thee.

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 shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answere: thou shalt cry and hee shall say, Here I am: if thou take away from the mids of thee the yoke, the putting foorth of the finger, and wicked speaking:

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 If thou powre out thy soule to the hungrie, and refresh the troubled soule: then shall thy light spring out in the darkenes, and thy darkenes shalbe as the noone 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 the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfie thy soule in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watred garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters faile not.

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 they shalbe of thee, that shall builde the olde waste places: thou shalt rayse vp the foundations for many generations, and thou shalt be called the repairer of the breach and the restorer of the pathes to dwell in.

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 thou turne away thy foote from the Sabbath, from doing thy will on mine holy day, and call the Sabbath a delite, to consecrate it, as glorious to the Lord, and shalt honour him, not doing thine owne wayes, nor seeking thine owne will, nor speaking a vaine word,

“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 shalt thou delite in the Lord, and I wil cause thee to mount vpon the hie places of the earth, and feede thee with the heritage of Iaakob thy father: for the mouth of ye Lord hath spoken it.

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.
