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.

Cry aloud, and spare not; lift up your voice as with a trumpet, and declare to my people their sins, and to the house of Jacob their iniquities.

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 desire to know my ways, as a people that had done righteousness, and had not forsaken the judgment of their God: they now ask of me righteous judgment, and desire to draw near to 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.

saying, Why have we fasted, and you regard not? [why] have we afflicted our souls, and you did not know it? Nay, in the days of your fasts you find your pleasures, and all them that are under your power you wound.

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.

If you fast for quarrels and strifes, and strike the lowly with [your] fists, therefore do you fast to me as [you do] this day, so that your voice may be heard in crying?

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?

I have not chosen this fast, nor [such] a day for a man to afflict his soul; neither though you should bend down your neck as a ring, and spread under you sackcloth and ashes, neither thus shall you call a fast acceptable.

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?

I have not chosen such a fast, says the Lord; but do you loose every burden of iniquity, do you untie the knots of hard bargains, set the bruised free, and cancel every unjust account.

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?

Break your bread to the hungry, and lead the unsheltered poor to your house: if you see one naked, clothe [him], and you shall not disregard the relations of your own seed.

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 shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall speedily spring forth: and your righteousness shall go before you, and the glory of God shall compass 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 shall you cry, and God shall listen to you; while you are yet speaking he will say, Behold, I am here. If you remove from you the band, and the stretching forth of the hands, and murmuring speech;

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 [if] you give bread to the hungry from your heart, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light spring up in darkness, and your darkness [shall be] as noon-day:

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 your God shall be with you continually, and you shall be satisfied according as your soul desires; and your bones shall be made fat, and shall be as a well-watered garden, and as a fountain [from] which the water has not failed.

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 your old waste desert [places] shall be built up, and your foundations shall last through all generations; and you shall be called a repairer of breaches, and you shall cause your paths between to be in peace.

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 away your foot from the sabbath, so as not to do your pleasure on the holy days, and shall call the sabbaths delightful, holy to God; [if] you shall not lift up your foot to work, nor speak a word in anger out of your mouth,

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 shall you trust on the Lord; and he shall bring you up to the good places of the land, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.
