Isaiah 58
Maori Bible
58 Kia rahi te karanga, kaua e kaiponuhia, kia rite ki te tetere te nui o tou reo, whakaaturia ki taku iwi to ratou poka ke, o ratou hara ki te whare o Hakopa.
2 He rapu ano ia ta ratou i ahau i tenei ra, i tenei ra, e ahuareka ana hoki ki te mohio ki aku ara: me te mea he iwi e mahi ana i te tika, a kihai i whakarere i te whakaritenga a tona Atua, e ui ana ratou ki ahau ki nga whakaritenga o te tika, e a huareka ana ki te awhi ki te Atua.
3 Ko ta ratou ki, he aha matou i nohopuku ai, a kahore koe e titiro mai? he aha matou i whakapouri ai i o matou wairua, te mohio mai koe? Nana, i te ra e nohopuku ai koutou e kitea ana e koutou te ahuareka mo koutou ano; e akiakina ana hoki e kouto u a koutou whakamauiui katoa.
4 Nana, ko ta koutou nohopuku, hei mea totohe, hei mea ngangare, kia moto ai ki te ringa o te kino: kahore koutou i nohopuku i tenei ra hei mea kia rangona ai to koutou reo i runga.
5 Ko taku nohopuku ianei tenei i whiriwhiri ai? he ra e whakapouri ai te tangata i tona wairua? He tuohu koia no te mahunga o te tangata, ano he kakaho? he whariki i te kakahu taratara, i te pungarehu, ki raro i a ia? E kiia ranei tenei e koe he no hopuku, he ra e manakohia ana e Ihowa?
6 He teka ianei ko te nohopuku tenei i whiriwhiria e ahau? kia whakatangorotia nga here a te kino, kia wetekina nga paihere o te ioka, kia tukua te hunga e tukinotia ana kia haere noa atu, kia wawahia e koutou nga ioka katoa?
7 He teka ianei ko te tuwha i tau taro ma te tangata e mate ana i te kai, ko te mau mai ki tou whare i nga rawakore i peia atu? kia hipokina hoki te tangata e tu tahanga ana, ina kitea e koe; kia kaua hoki e huna i a koe i ou kikokiko ake?
8 Ko reira tou marama puta ai, ano ko te puaotanga, ka hohoro ano ou mate te mahu; ka haere tou tika ki mua i a koe, ko te kororia ano o Ihowa hei hiku mou.
9 Ko reira koe karanga ai, a ka whakahoki kupu mai a Ihowa; ka tangi koe, a ka mea ia, Tenei ahau. Ki te whakarerea atu e koe te ioka i waenganui i a koe, te kokirihanga atu o te maihao, me te korero kino;
10 Ki te mea ano ka whai ngakau koe ki te tangata matekai, a ka makona i a koe te wairua e pehia ana e te mamae; ko reira tou marama puta ai i roto i te pouri, ka rite hoki tou pouri ki te poutumaro:
11 Ka arahina tonutia ano koe e Ihowa, ka makona ano tou wairua i a ia i nga wahi kore wai, ka whakakahangia ano ou whenua; a ka rite koe ki te kari kua oti te whakamakuku ki te wai, ki te puna hoki e pupu ake ana, e kore nei ona wai e poto.
12 Ka hanga ano e ou uri nga wahi kua ururuatia noatia ake; ka ara ano i a koe nga turanga o nga whakapaparanga maha; a ka huaina koe, Ko te kaihanga o te taiepa pakaru, Ko te kaiwhakahou o nga wahi i nga ara hei nohoanga.
13 Ki te tahuri atu tou waewae i te hapati, i te mea i tau i pai ai i taku ra tapu, a ka kiia e koe te hapati he ahurareka, he tapu no Ihowa, he mea honore, a ka whakahonoretia ia e koe, ka kore hoki e mahi i ou ara ake, e kite i au ake e ahuareka ai, e korero i au korero ake:
14 Katahi koe ka whai oranga ngakau i roto i a Ihowa; ka meinga ano e ahau nga wahi tiketike o te whenua hei hoiho mou; ka whangaia hoki koe ki te wahi tupu a tou papa, a Hakopa: na te mangai hoki o Ihowa te kupu.

True Fasting
58 “Shout it aloud,(A) do not hold back.
Raise your voice like a trumpet.(B)
Declare to my people their rebellion(C)
and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.(D)
2 For day after day they seek(E) me out;
they seem eager to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that does what is right
and has not forsaken(F) the commands of its God.
They ask me for just decisions
and seem eager for God to come near(G) them.
3 ‘Why have we fasted,’(H) they say,
‘and you have not seen it?
Why have we humbled(I) ourselves,
and you have not noticed?’(J)
“Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please(K)
and exploit all your workers.
4 Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife,(L)
and in striking each other with wicked fists.
You cannot fast as you do today
and expect your voice to be heard(M) on high.
5 Is this the kind of fast(N) I have chosen,
only a day for people to humble(O) themselves?
Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed(P)
and for lying in sackcloth and ashes?(Q)
Is that what you call a fast,
a day acceptable to the Lord?
6 “Is not this the kind of fasting(R) I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice(S)
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed(T) free
and break every yoke?(U)
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry(V)
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter(W)—
when you see the naked, to clothe(X) them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?(Y)
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,(Z)
and your healing(AA) will quickly appear;
then your righteousness[a](AB) will go before you,
and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.(AC)
9 Then you will call,(AD) and the Lord will answer;(AE)
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger(AF) and malicious talk,(AG)
10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,(AH)
then your light(AI) will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.(AJ)
11 The Lord will guide(AK) you always;
he will satisfy your needs(AL) in a sun-scorched land(AM)
and will strengthen(AN) your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,(AO)
like a spring(AP) whose waters never fail.
12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins(AQ)
and will raise up the age-old foundations;(AR)
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,(AS)
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
13 “If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath(AT)
and from doing as you please on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight(AU)
and the Lord’s holy day honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way
and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,(AV)
14 then you will find your joy(AW) in the Lord,
and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights(AX) of the land
and to feast on the inheritance(AY) of your father Jacob.”
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.(AZ)
