Isaiah 58
1 "Cry aloud, do not spare, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and declare to my people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
“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 seek me daily, and delight to know my ways: as a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to God.
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 'Why have we fasted,' say they, 'and you do not see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge?' "Look, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your labors.
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 Look, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness: you do not fast this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high.
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 such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast, and 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 "Isn't this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every 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 Isn't it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own 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 your light shall break forth as the morning, and your healing shall spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
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 you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, 'Here I am.' "If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedly;
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 and if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then your light shall rise in darkness, and your obscurity be as the noonday;
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 will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make strong your bones; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
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 Those who shall be of you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths 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 you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of the LORD honorable; and shall honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:
“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 you shall delight yourself in the LORD; and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father:" for the mouth of the LORD has 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.
