Isaiah 56
1 This is what Yahweh says, “Observe what is right, do what is just; for my salvation is near, and my righteousness is about 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 Blessed is the man that does this, and who holds it tightly. He observes the Sabbath, not defiling it, and keeps 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 Let no foreigner who has become a follower of Yahweh say, “Yahweh will certainly exclude me from his people.” The eunuch should not say, “See, I am a dry 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 this is what Yahweh says, “To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths and choose what pleases me, and hold fast 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 to them I will set up in my house and within my walls a monument that is better than having sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting monument that will never be 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 Also foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh— to serve him, and who love the name of Yahweh, to worship him, every one who observes the Sabbath and who keeps from defiling it, and who holds fast 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 will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar. For my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations,
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 this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, who gathers the outcasts of Israel— I will still gather others in addition to them.”
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 All you wild beasts of the field, come and devour, all you beasts 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 All their watchmen are blind, they do not understand. They are all silent dogs who cannot bark. They dream, and lying down they love to sleep.
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 The dogs have big appetites; they can never get enough; they are shepherds without discernment; they have all turned to their own way, each one covetous for unjust gain.
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,” they say, “let us drink wine and liquor. Tomorrow will be like today, a day great beyond measure.”
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.
