Isaia 56
1 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.
Thus hath said the Lord, Keep ye justice, and do equity; for near is my salvation to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 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.
Happy is the mortal that ever doth this, and the son of man that ever layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath by not violating it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3 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.
And let not say the son of the stranger, that joineth himself unto the Lord, saying, Surely the Lord will exclude me from his people; nor let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 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;
For thus hath said the Lord concerning the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and make choice of what pleaseth me, and take hold of my covenant.
5 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.
I will indeed give unto them in my house and within my walls a place and a name, better than sons and daughters: an everlasting name will I give them, that shall not be cut off.
6 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;
Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves unto the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be unto him as servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath by not violating it, and those who take hold of my covenant:
7 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.
Even these will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations.
8 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.
Thus saith the Lord Eternal who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, I will yet gather [others] to him, beside his own gathered [outcasts].
9 E na holoholona a pau o ke kula, e hele mai oukou e ai; O na holoholona hoi a pau o ka ululaau.
All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, [yea, ] all ye beasts in the forest.
10 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.
His watchmen are all of them blind, they know nothing; they all are dumb dogs, they cannot bark; dreamers, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 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.
But the dogs are of a greedy disposition, they know not how to be satisfied; and those are shepherds that know how to understand: they all turn to their own way, every one after his gain, from all quarters.
12 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.
Come ye, I will fetch wine, and let us swallow abundantly of strong drink; and like this day shall it be tomorrow, excellent and in very great abundance.
