1 “ Cry with a loud voice. Do not hold back. Raise your voice like a horn, and show My people their wrong-doing and the family of Jacob their sins.
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 Y et they look for Me day by day, and are happy to know My ways, as a nation that has done what is right and good, and has not turned away from the Law of their God. They ask Me to be fair in what I decide, and they are happy to come near to God.
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 T hey say, ‘Why have we gone without food, and You do not see it? Why have we put away our pride, and You do not know it?’ See, on the day you do not eat, you do what you want to do, and make it hard for all your workers.
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 S ee, while you go without food you argue and fight and hit with a sinful hand. Going without food as you do today will not help your voice to be heard on high.
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 I s it a time without eating like this that I choose, a day for a man to put away his pride? Is it for bowing his head like a piece of grass, and to spread ashes and cloth made from hair for his bed? Will you call this time without eating a day that pleases the Lord?
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 I s not the time without eating which I choose, a time to take off the chains of sin, and to take the heavy load of sin off the neck? Is it not a time to let those who suffer under a sinful power go free, and to break every load from their neck?
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 I s it not a time to share your food with the hungry, and bring the poor man into your house who has no home of his own? Is it not a time to give clothes to the person you see who has no clothes, and a time not to hide yourself from your own family?
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 T hen your light will break out like the early morning, and you will soon be healed. Your right and good works will go before you. And the shining-greatness of the Lord will keep watch behind you.
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 T hen you will call, and the Lord will answer. You will cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you take the weight of sin away, and stop putting the blame on others and stop speaking sinful things,
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 a nd if you give what you have to the hungry, and fill the needs of those who suffer, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your darkness will be like the brightest time of day.
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 T he Lord will always lead you. He will meet the needs of your soul in the dry times and give strength to your body. You will be like a garden that has enough water, like a well of water that never dries up.
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 A nd your cities which were destroyed long ago will be built again. You will set up the stones of the bases of the old buildings. You will be called the one who builds again the broken walls, and who makes the streets on which people live like new.
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 “ If you keep from doing what pleases you on the Day of Rest, on My holy day and call the Day of Rest a happy time, and respect the holy day of the Lord, and if you honor it by turning from your own ways, and from following your own desire and by not talking in a foolish way,
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 t hen you will have joy in the Lord. I will cause you to ride on the high places of the earth. And I will feed you with the best from the land given to your father Jacob. The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
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.
