< Isaiah 56 >
1 Thus said YHWH: “Keep judgment, and do righteousness, For My salvation [is] near to come, And My righteousness to be revealed.”
KE i mai nei o Iehova penei, E malama oukou i ka pono, a e hana hoi i ka maikai; No ka mea, kokoke no e hiki mai ko'u ola, A me ko'u pono i ka hoikeia.
2 O the blessedness of a man who does this, And of a son of man who keeps hold on it, Keeping the Sabbath from defiling it, And keeping his hand from doing any evil.
Pomaikai ke kanaka hana i keia, A me ke keiki a ke kanaka i hoopaa iho ia mea; Ka mea malama i ka la sabati, aole hoohaumia ia, Ka mea malama i kona lima, aole hana i kekahi mea hewa.
3 Do not let a son of the stranger speak, Who is joined to YHWH, saying, “YHWH certainly separates me from His people.” Nor let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dried up tree,”
Mai olelo nae ke keiki a ka malihini, Ka mea i hoopili ia ia iho ia Iehova, me ka i iho, Ua hookaawale loa o Iehova ia'u mai kona poe kanaka aku: Mai olelo hoi ka mea i poaia, Aia hoi! he laau maloo no wau.
4 For thus said YHWH: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, And have fixed on that which I desired, And are keeping hold on My covenant:
No ka mea, penei i olelo mai ai o Iehova i na mea i poaia, I ka poe malama i ko'u la sabati, A makemake hoi i na mea a'u i olioli ai, A hoopaa hoi i ka'u berita;
5 I have given to them in My house, And within My walls a station and a name, Better than sons and than daughters, I give a continuous name to him That is not cut off.
Ia lakou no wau e haawi aku ai, Maloko o ko'u hale, a maloko o ko'u mau pa, I kuleana, a i inoa hoi i oi aku ka maikai mamua o na keikikane, a me na kaikamahine; A e haawi no wau ia lakou i inoa mau loa e hooki ole ia'i.
6 And sons of the stranger, who are joined to YHWH, To serve Him, and to love the Name of YHWH, To be for servants to Him, All keeping from defiling the Sabbath, And those keeping hold on My covenant,
A o na keikikane hoi a ka malihini, Ka poe hoopili ia lakou iho ia Iehova, E malama ia ia, a e aloha aku i ka inoa o Iehova, I lilo lakou i poe kauwa nana, O kela mea keia mea i malama i ka la sabati, aole hoohaumia ia, A hoopaa hoi i ka'u berita;
7 I have brought them to My holy mountain, And caused them to rejoice in My house of prayer, Their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices [Are] for a pleasing thing on My altar, For My house is called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
O lakou no ka'u e lawe ai i ko'u mauna hoano, A e hoohauoli au ia lakou maloko o ko'u hale pule: E maliuia ko lakou mohaikuni, a me ko lakou alana maluna o ko'u kuahu; No ka mea, e kapaia ko'u hale, He hale pule no na lahuikanaka a pau.
8 A declaration of Lord YHWH, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: “Again I gather to him—to his gathered ones.”
Ke i mai nei o Iehova, ka Haku, Ka mea hooiliili i ka mea aea o ka Iseraela, E hooiliili au i kekahi poe e ae, io na la, Okoa ka poe i hooiliiliia.
9 Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast in the forest.
E na holoholona a pau o ke kula, e hele mai oukou e ai; O na holoholona hoi a pau o ka ululaau.
10 His watchmen [are] blind—all of them, They have not known, All of them [are] mute dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down, loving to slumber.
Ua makapo kona poe kiai, ua naaupo no lakou a pau; O lakou a pau, he poe ilio walaau ole, Aole hiki ia lakou ke hae; E hiamoe ana, e moe ana ilalo no hoi, e makemake ana i ka hiamoe.
11 And the dogs [are] strong of desire, They have not known sufficiency, And they [are] shepherds! They have not known understanding, All of them turned to their own way, Each to his dishonest gain from his quarter:
Oia, he poe ilio pololi wale, Aole i ike lakou i ka maona; He poe kahuhipa lakou hiki ole ke hoomaopopo; Huli no lakou a pau i ko lakou aoao iho, O kela mea keia mea i kona waiwai panee, ma kona wahi iho.
12 “Come, I take wine, And we drink, gulp strong drink, And tomorrow has been as this day, Great—exceedingly abundant!”
E hele mai, a na'u no e lawe mai i ka waina, [wahi a lakou, ] A e inu kakou i ka mea awaawa a ona; A e like pu ana ka la apopo mo keia la, a e oi nui aku no hoi.
