Isaiah 58
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
Kia rahi te karanga, kaua e kaiponuhia, kia rite ki te tetere te nui o tou reo, whakaaturia ki taku iwi to ratou poka ke, o ratou hara ki te whare o Hakopa.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
He rapu ano ia ta ratou i ahau i tenei ra, i tenei ra, e ahuareka ana hoki ki te mohio ki aku ara: me te mea he iwi e mahi ana i te tika, a kihai i whakarere i te whakaritenga a tona Atua, e ui ana ratou ki ahau ki nga whakaritenga o te tika, e a huareka ana ki te awhi ki te Atua.
3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
Ko ta ratou ki, he aha matou i nohopuku ai, a kahore koe e titiro mai? he aha matou i whakapouri ai i o matou wairua, te mohio mai koe? Nana, i te ra e nohopuku ai koutou e kitea ana e koutou te ahuareka mo koutou ano; e akiakina ana hoki e kouto u a koutou whakamauiui katoa.
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
Nana, ko ta koutou nohopuku, hei mea totohe, hei mea ngangare, kia moto ai ki te ringa o te kino: kahore koutou i nohopuku i tenei ra hei mea kia rangona ai to koutou reo i runga.
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yhwh?
Ko taku nohopuku ianei tenei i whiriwhiri ai? he ra e whakapouri ai te tangata i tona wairua? He tuohu koia no te mahunga o te tangata, ano he kakaho? he whariki i te kakahu taratara, i te pungarehu, ki raro i a ia? E kiia ranei tenei e koe he no hopuku, he ra e manakohia ana e Ihowa?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
He teka ianei ko te nohopuku tenei i whiriwhiria e ahau? kia whakatangorotia nga here a te kino, kia wetekina nga paihere o te ioka, kia tukua te hunga e tukinotia ana kia haere noa atu, kia wawahia e koutou nga ioka katoa?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
He teka ianei ko te tuwha i tau taro ma te tangata e mate ana i te kai, ko te mau mai ki tou whare i nga rawakore i peia atu? kia hipokina hoki te tangata e tu tahanga ana, ina kitea e koe; kia kaua hoki e huna i a koe i ou kikokiko ake?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of Yhwh shall be thy rereward.
Ko reira tou marama puta ai, ano ko te puaotanga, ka hohoro ano ou mate te mahu; ka haere tou tika ki mua i a koe, ko te kororia ano o Ihowa hei hiku mou.
9 Then shalt thou call, And Yhwh shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
Ko reira koe karanga ai, a ka whakahoki kupu mai a Ihowa; ka tangi koe, a ka mea ia, Tenei ahau. Ki te whakarerea atu e koe te ioka i waenganui i a koe, te kokirihanga atu o te maihao, me te korero kino;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
Ki te mea ano ka whai ngakau koe ki te tangata matekai, a ka makona i a koe te wairua e pehia ana e te mamae; ko reira tou marama puta ai i roto i te pouri, ka rite hoki tou pouri ki te poutumaro:
11 And Yhwh shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Ka arahina tonutia ano koe e Ihowa, ka makona ano tou wairua i a ia i nga wahi kore wai, ka whakakahangia ano ou whenua; a ka rite koe ki te kari kua oti te whakamakuku ki te wai, ki te puna hoki e pupu ake ana, e kore nei ona wai e poto.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Ka hanga ano e ou uri nga wahi kua ururuatia noatia ake; ka ara ano i a koe nga turanga o nga whakapaparanga maha; a ka huaina koe, Ko te kaihanga o te taiepa pakaru, Ko te kaiwhakahou o nga wahi i nga ara hei nohoanga.
13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of Yhwh, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
Ki te tahuri atu tou waewae i te hapati, i te mea i tau i pai ai i taku ra tapu, a ka kiia e koe te hapati he ahurareka, he tapu no Ihowa, he mea honore, a ka whakahonoretia ia e koe, ka kore hoki e mahi i ou ara ake, e kite i au ake e ahuareka ai, e korero i au korero ake:
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yhwh; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Yhwh hath spoken it.
Katahi koe ka whai oranga ngakau i roto i a Ihowa; ka meinga ano e ahau nga wahi tiketike o te whenua hei hoiho mou; ka whangaia hoki koe ki te wahi tupu a tou papa, a Hakopa: na te mangai hoki o Ihowa te kupu.
