Isaiah 56
1 Thus, saith Yahweh, Observe ye justice, And execute righteousness, —For near, is My salvation, to come in, and My righteousness to be revealed.
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 How happy the frail man, who doeth this! Yea the son of the earth-born who firmly graspeth it! Keeping the sabbath lest he profane it, and Keeping his own hand from doing any wrong.
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 son of the foreigner, who hath joined himself unto Yahweh, speak, saying, Yahweh, will separate, me from his people, Neither let the eunuch, say, Lo! I, am a tree dried up!
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 Yahweh—Of the eunuchs, Who shall keep my sabbaths, And choose what I delight in, —And lay firm hold on my covenant,
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 That I will give unto them—In my house, And within my walls, A sign and a name, better than sons and daughters, —A name age-abiding, will I give him, which shall not be cut off.
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 And, as for the sons of the foreigner—Who have joined themselves unto Yahweh To wait upon him, and To love the name of Yahweh, To become his for servants, —Every one who keepeth the sabbath, lest he profane it. And who, layeth firm hold on my covenant,
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 Surely I will bring them into my holy mountain And make them joyful in my house of prayer, Their ascending-offerings and their sacrifices, being accepted upon mine altar, —For, my house, a house of prayer, shall be called, for all the peoples!
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 Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: —Yet others, will I gather unto him Besides his own gathered ones.
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 beasts of the field! come ye to devour, All ye beasts in the forest.
Mou haʻu ke keina, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae fanga manu ʻoe ngoue, ʻio, ʻakimoutolu ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao.
10 His watchmen, are blind None of them, know, All of them, are dumb dogs, they cannot bark, —Dreaming, sleeping, loving to slumber.
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, the dogs, are greedy they know not to be satisfied. Yea, they, are shepherds who know not to discern, —All of them unto their own way, have turned, Every man to his unjust gain, on every hand:
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 ye! I will fetch wine Let us fill ourselves with strong drink, —And like this day, shall, to-morrow be—Great beyond measure!
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.”
