Isaiah 58
1 [Yahweh said to me], “Shout loudly! Shout like [SIM] a loud trumpet! Shout to warn my Israeli people about their sins [DOU]!
E KAHEA nui aku, mai uumi, E hookiekie i kou leo me he pu la, E hoike i ko'u poe kanaka i ko lakou hewa, A i ko ka hale o Iakoba i ko lakou hala.
2 They worship me every day; [they come to my temple because they say that] they are eager to know what I want them to do. They act as though they are a nation that does things that are righteous, who would never abandon their God. They request me to decide matters justly, and they delight to come to worship me.
Aka, imi no lakou ia'u i kela la i keia la, A olioli lakou i ka ike ana i ko'u mau aoao, Me he lahuikanaka la i hana i ka pono, A haalele ole i ke kanawai o ko lakou Akua. Ninau mai no lakou ia'u i ka hooponopono pololei ana, A olioli lakou i ka hookokoke ana i ke Akua.
3 [They say], ‘We have (fasted/abstained from eating food) to please you, but you did not [RHQ] notice our doing that. We humbled ourselves, but you did not [RHQ] pay any attention!’ I will tell you why I did not pay attention. It is because when you fast, you do it only to please yourselves, and you act cruelly toward all your workers.
No ke aha la makou i hookeai ai, a ike ole mai oe, wahi a lakou? A hookaumaha makou i ko makou uhane, A ua hoomaopopo ole mai oe? Aia hoi, i ka la o ko oukou hookeai ana, Loaa no ia oukou ka lealea, Koi aku oukou i ka oukou hana a pau.
4 You fast, but you also quarrel and fight [with each other] with your fists. [Doing things like that while] you fast will [certainly] not cause [me] to hear your prayers [where I am], high in heaven.
Aia hoi, hookeai no oukou no ka paio, a me ka hakaka, I kuikui aku me ka lima hana ino: Aole hookeai oukou e like me ko keia la, I mea e loheia'i ko oukou leo maluna.
5 You [act as though] [IRO] you humble yourselves [RHQ] by bowing your heads like [SIM] [the tops of] reeds bend [when the wind blows], and you wear [RHQ] rough clothes and cover your heads with ashes [like people do when they are grieving]. That is what you do when you are fasting, but do you really think [RHQ] that will please me?
O ka hookeai anei me ia ka'u i makemake ai? He la e hookaumaha ai ke kanaka i kona uhane? E hookulou hoi i kona poo ilalo, me he kaluha la? A haalii i ke kapa ino, a me ka lehu ahi? E kapa aku anei oe i keia, he hookeai, A he la oluolu no Iehova?
6 No, that is not the kind of fasting that I desire. What I really want [RHQ] is for you to free those who have been unjustly put in prison [DOU], and to encourage those who are (treated cruelly/oppressed); I want you to free those who have been oppressed in any way.
Aole anei penei, ka hookeai a'u i makemake ai? O ka wehe i na mea paa o ka hookaumaha, E hookuu iho i na haawe kaumaha, A e kuu aku hoi e hele ka poe i hookaumahain, A i uhaki no hoi oukou i na auamo a pau?
7 I want you to [RHQ] share your food with those who are hungry and to allow those who have no houses to stay in your houses. Give clothes to those who do not have clothes, and do not hide from your relatives who need help from you.
Aole anei, o ka haawi aku i kau berena no ka poe pololi, A i lawe mai hoi oe ma kou hale i ka poe hune i hana ino ia? Ia oe hoi e ike ai i ka mea ku kohana, i uhi oe ia ia? I huna ole hoi oe ia oe, i kou io iho?
8 If you do those things, [what you do for others will be like] [SIM] a light that shines when it dawns. The troubles [that have been caused by your sins] will end quickly. Others will know about your righteous behavior, and with my glorious presence I will protect you from behind [like I protected the Israeli people when they left Egypt].
Alaila, e poha aku no kou malamalama, e like me ko ke kakahiaka, A e puka koke mai no kou ola; A e hele no kou pono ma kou alo, A o ka nani o Iehova auanei ka mea hele mahope ou.
9 Then you will call out to me, and I will [quickly] answer [and say that I will help you].’ Stop (oppressing people/treating people cruelly); stop falsely accusing people; and stop saying evil [things about people].
Alaila, e hea aku no oe, a e olelo mai no o Iehova; A ina e uwe aku oe, e i mai no oia, Eia no wau. Ina e hoolei aku oe, mai ou aku, i ka auamo, A me ka o ana aku o ka manamana lima, a me ka olelo ana i ka lapuwale;
10 Give food to those who are hungry, and give to people who are afflicted/suffering the things that they need. [Your doing that will be like] [MET] a light that shines in the darkness; instead of doing evil to people [MET], [the good things that you do for them will be like] [SIM] sunshine at noontime.
Ina hu aku kou uhane i ka poe pololi, A hoomaona hoi oe i ka uhane o ka poe popilikia; Alaila, e puka mai no kou malamalama maloko o ka pouli, A e like auanei kou pouli me ke awakea:
11 [I], Yahweh, will guide you continually, and I will give you good things to satisfy you. I will enable you to remain strong and healthy. You will be like [SIM] a garden that is well watered, like [SIM] a spring that never dries up.
A na Iehova no e alakai mau loa ia oe, A nana no hoi e hoomaona ia oe maloko o na aina maloo, A nana no hoi e hooikaika i kou mau iwi; A e like auanei oe me ka mahinaai i hoomau maikai ia, E like hoi me ka waipuna i maloo ole na wai.
12 [Your people] will rebuild the cities that were destroyed long ago; they will build [houses] on top of the old foundations. People will say that you are the ones who are repairing the holes [in the city walls], and who are repairing the streets where people live.
O ka poe mai loko aku ou, na lakou no e hana hou i na wahi neoneo kahiko, A e kukulu hou hoi maluna o na kumu o na hanauna he nui loa; A e kapaia no hoi oe, Ka mea hana hou i kahi naha, Ka mea hoihoi mai i na alanui, i wahi e noho ai.
13 Do not travel [MTY] long distances on Sabbath/rest days, and on Sabbath days do not do only the things that you delight to do. Enjoy the Sabbath days, and consider them to be delightful. The Sabbath days are my holy days. Honor me, Yahweh, in everything that you do [on the Sabbath days]. Do not talk about and do things [only] to please yourselves. If you do all the things that I have just now told you to do,
Ina e malama oe i kou wawae i ko'u la Sabati, Aole hoi e hana i kou lealea i ko'u la hoano; A kapa aku hoi i ka la Sabati, ho olioli, Ka mea hemolele o Iehova, a me ka nani; A hoomaikai hoi oe ia, me ka hana ole i kou mau aoao, Aole me ka imi i kou lealea iho, Aole hoi me ka olelo i kau mau olelo iho;
14 I will enable you to be joyful. I will greatly honor you; [I will honor you everywhere!] I will give to you the [blessings] that I gave to your ancestor Jacob. [Those things will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Alaila, e olioli no oe ia Iehova; A na'u no e hooholo ia oe ma na wahi kiekie o ka honua, A e hanai aku au ia oe i ka hooilina a Iakoba, a kou kupunakane; No ka mea, na ka waha o Iehova i olelo mai.
