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 saith Jehovah: Keep ye justice, and practise righteousness; For the coming of my salvation is near, And my deliverance is soon 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 the man that doeth this, And the son of man that holdeth it fast; That keepeth the sabbath, and profaneth it not, And restraineth his hand from doing 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 the stranger that joineth himself to Jehovah say, Jehovah hath wholly separated me from his people. And let not 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 saith Jehovah concerning the eunuchs: They that keep my sabbaths, And take pleasure in doing my will, And hold fast 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.
To them will I give in my house, and within my walls, a portion and a name, Better than of sons and daughters; An everlasting name will I give them, That shall never fade away.
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;
The strangers, also, that join themselves to Jehovah, to serve him, To love the name of Jehovah, and to be his servants. Every one that keepeth the sabbath, and profaneth it not, And holdeth fast 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.
Them will I bring to my holy mountain, And I will make them rejoice in my house of prayer; Their burnt-offerings and sacrifices shall be accepted on mine altar; For my house shall be called a house of prayer for all 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 Jehovah, That gathereth the outcasts of Israel; Yet will I gather others to him, Besides those that are already gathered.
9 E na holoholona a pau o ke kula, e hele mai oukou e ai; O na holoholona hoi a pau o ka ululaau.
Come, all ye beasts of the field, Yea, all ye beasts of the forest, to devour!
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 blind; they know nothing; They are all dumb dogs, that cannot bark, Dreaming, 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.
Yet are they greedy dogs that cannot be satisfied; The shepherds themselves will not attend; They all turn aside to their own way, Every one of them to their own gain.
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 on, let me bring wine, And let us fill ourselves with strong drink, And to-morrow shall be as to-day, And even much more abundant.”
