The underlying figure is that of a condemned man who is forced to take up and carry his own cross to the place of execution. However, what the convict does under duress, the disciple of Christ does willingly. He voluntarily and decisively accepts the pain, shame, and persecution that is going to be his particular – note: his, not someone else’s – lot because of his loyalty to Christ and his cause.

58:1 ¶ 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.

58:2 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.

58:3 ¶ 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.

58:4 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.

58:5 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?

58:6 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?

58:7 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?

58:8 ¶ 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.

58:9 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;

58:10 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:

58:11 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.

58:12 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.

58:13 ¶ 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:

58:14 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.
