Isaiah 56
1 Thus said Jehovah: 'Keep ye judgment, and do righteousness, For near [is] My salvation to come, 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 O the happiness of a man who doth this, And of a son of man who keepeth hold on it, Keeping the sabbath from polluting it, And keeping his hand from doing any evil.
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 Nor speak let a son of the stranger, Who is joined unto Jehovah, saying: 'Jehovah doth certainly separate me from His people.' Nor say let the eunuch, '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 said Jehovah of the eunuchs, Who do keep My sabbaths, And have fixed on that which I desired, And are keeping 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 I have given to them in My house, And within My walls a station and a name, Better than sons and than daughters, A name age-during I give to him That is not 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 sons of the stranger, who are joined to Jehovah, To serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, To be to Him for servants, Every keeper of the sabbath from polluting it, And those keeping 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 I have brought them unto 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 Mine altar, For My house, 'A house of prayer,' Is 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 An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: 'Again I gather to him — to his 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 Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast 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 Blind [are] his watchmen — all of them, They have not known, All of them [are] dumb dogs, they are not able to bark, Dozing, lying down, 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] strong of desire, They have not known sufficiency, And they [are] shepherds! They have not known understanding, All of them to their own way they did turn, Each to his dishonest gain from his quarter:
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 take wine, And we drink, quaff strong drink, And as this day hath been to-morrow, Great — exceeding abundant!'
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.”
