< Isaia 58 >
1 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.
“Call with the throat, do not restrain, lift up your voice as a horn, And declare to My people their transgression, And to the house of Jacob their sins;
2 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.
They seek Me day by day, And they desire the knowledge of My ways, As a nation that has done righteousness, And has not forsaken the judgment of its God, They ask of Me judgments of righteousness, They desire the drawing near of God:
3 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.
Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? We have afflicted our soul, and You do not know. Behold, you find pleasure in the day of your fast, And exact all your laborers.
4 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.
Behold, you fast for strife and debate, And to strike with the fist of wickedness, You do not fast as [this] day, To sound your voice in the high place.
5 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?
Is this like the fast that I choose? The day of a man’s afflicting his soul? To bow his head as a reed, And spread out sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, And a desirable day—to YHWH?
6 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?
Is this not the fast that I chose—To loose the bands of wickedness, To shake off the burdens of the yoke, And to send out the oppressed free, And draw off every yoke?
7 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?
Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, And bring home the wandering poor, That you see the naked and cover him, And do not hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 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.
Then your light breaks forth as the dawn, And your health springs up in haste, Your righteousness has gone before you, The glory of YHWH gathers you.
9 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;
Then you call, and YHWH answers, You cry, and He says, Behold Me. If you turn aside the yoke from your midst, The sending forth of the finger, And the speaking of vanity,
10 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:
And bring out your soul to the hungry, And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light has risen in the darkness, And your thick darkness [is] as noon.
11 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.
And YHWH continually leads you, And has satisfied your soul in drought, And He arms your bones, And you have been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose waters do not lie.
12 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.
And they have built the ancient ruins from you, You raise up the foundations of many generations, And one calls you, Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to rest in.
13 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;
If you turn your foot from the Sabbath, [From] doing your own pleasure on My holy day, And have cried to the Sabbath, A delight, To the holy of YHWH, Honored, And have honored it, without doing your own ways, Without finding your own pleasure, And speaking a word.
14 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.
Then you delight yourself on YHWH, And I have caused you to ride on high places of earth, And have caused you to eat the inheritance of your father Jacob, For the mouth of YHWH has spoken!”
