Isaiah 22

1 The burden of the valley of vision. What troubles thee now, that thou have wholly gone up to the housetops?

Ko e tala mamafa ʻoku kau ki he teleʻa ʻoe meʻa hā mai. Ko e hā kuo hoko kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu ai hoʻo kakai kotoa pē ki he ngaahi tuʻa fale?

2 O thou that are full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town. Thy slain are not slain with the sword, nor are they dead in battle.

‌ʻA koe ʻoku ke fonu ʻi he longoaʻa, ko e kolo maveuveu, ko e kolo ʻoe fakavā: ko hoʻo kakai kuo mate naʻe ʻikai mate ʻi he heletā, pe mate ʻi he tau.

3 All thy rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found of thee were bound together; they fled afar off.

Kuo hola fakataha hoʻo kau pule kotoa pē, kuo haʻisia ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau tangata fana: ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻilo ʻiate koe kuo haʻi fakataha, ʻakinautolu kuo hola mei he mamaʻo.

4 Therefore I said, Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Labor not to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

Ko ia naʻaku pehē, sio kehe meiate au; te u tangi mamahi, ʻoua naʻa ʻahiʻahi ke fakafiemālieʻi au, koeʻuhi ko e maumau ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai.

5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.

He ko e ʻaho ʻoe mamahi ia, mo e malaki hifo, pea mo e faingataʻa, koeʻuhi ko e ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe meʻa hā mai, ʻi he maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻā maka, pea mo e tangi ki he ngaahi moʻunga.

6 And Elam bore the quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.

Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ʻIlami ʻae hōfangahau mo e ngaahi saliote ʻae tangata mo e tangata heka hoosi, pea toʻo ʻe Kili ʻae kofu ʻoe fakaū.

7 And it came to pass, that thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.

Pea ʻe pehē, ʻe fonu ho ngaahi teleʻa lelei ʻi he ngaahi saliote, pea ʻe fakatē ʻae kautau heka hoosi ʻi he matapā.

8 And he took away the covering of Judah, and thou looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.

Pea ʻe tatala ʻae meʻa ʻufiʻufi ʻo Siuta, pea te ke vakai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ki he mahafutau ʻi he fale ʻoe vao lahi.

9 And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many. And to fortify the wall, ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool,

Pea te mou mamata ki he ngaahi ava ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, koeʻuhi ʻoku lahi ia: pea te mou tānaki fakataha ʻae ngaahi vai ki he luo vai ki lalo.

10 and ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye broke down the houses.

Pea kuo mou lau ʻae ngaahi fale ʻo Selūsalema, pea kuo mou veteki ʻae ngaahi fale ke fakamālohi ʻaki ʻae ʻā maka.

11 Ye also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But ye did not look to him who had done this, nor had ye respect to him who purposed it long ago.

Pea te mou ngaohi ʻae keli ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo ʻā maka ki he vai ʻoe luo vai motuʻa: ka ʻoku teʻeki te mou vakai kiate ia ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ia, pe fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia ʻaia naʻe fakatupu ia ʻi muʻa ʻaupito.

12 And in that day the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, called for weeping, and for mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.

Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ui ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ke tangi, pea ke tangilāulau, pea ke fafai ʻae ʻulu, pea ke vala ʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa.

13 And, behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.

Pea vakai naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fiemālie mo e fiefia, ko e tāmateʻi ʻoe fanga pulu, mo e tāmateʻi ʻoe fanga sipi, mo e kai ʻae kakano, mo e inu uaine: ke tau kai mo inu; he ko e ʻapongipongi te tau mate.

14 And Jehovah of hosts revealed himself in my ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you till ye die, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ki hoku telinga, Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te mou maʻa ʻi he hia ni kaeʻoua ke mou mate, ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

15 Thus says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, Go, get thee to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,

ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻAlu, ke ke hoko ki he tangata tauhi koloa ni, ʻio, kia Sepina, ʻaia ʻoku pule ki he fale, pea ke pehē,

16 What are thou doing here? And whom have thou here, that thou have hewed thee out here a sepulcher? Hewing him out a sepulcher on high, carving a habitation for himself in the rock!

Ko e hā ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi heni? Pea ko hai ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi heni? Koeʻuhi kuo ke tā moʻou ʻi heni ha fonualoto, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku tā moʻona ha fonualoto ʻi he māʻolunga, pea ʻoku tongi ha nofoʻanga moʻona ʻi he maka?

17 Behold, Jehovah, like a strong man, will hurl thee away violently. Yea, he will wrap thee up closely.

Vakai, ʻe ʻave koe ʻe Sihova ʻi he fakapōpula fakamanavahē, pea ko e moʻoni te ne taʻomia koe.

18 He will surely wind thee round and round, tossing like a ball into a large country. There thou shall die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be, thou shame of thy lord's house.

Ko e moʻoni te ne foki mai pea lī mālohi koe ʻo hangē ko ha meʻa fuopotopoto ki ha fonua lahi: pea te ke mate ai, pea ʻe hoko ʻi ai ʻa hoʻo ngaahi saliote lelei ko e fakamā ʻoe fale ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki.

19 And I will thrust thee from thine office, and thou shall be pulled down from thy station.

Pea te u kapusi koe mei hoʻo potu, pea te ne toho hifo koe mei ho puleʻanga.”

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u ui ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Iliakimi ko e foha ʻo Hesekaia:

21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy belt. And I will commit thy government into his hand, and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

Pea te u fakakofuʻaki ia ʻa ho kofu tōtōlofa, pea te u fakamālohi ʻaki ia ho noʻo, pea te u tuku hoʻo pule ki hono nima: pea te ne hoko ko e tamai ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema, pea ki he fale ʻo Siuta.

22 And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, and he shall open, and none shall shut, and he shall shut, and none shall open.

Pea ko e ki ʻoe fale ʻo Tevita te u ai ki hono uma; ko ia te ne toʻo, pea ʻe ʻikai tāpuni ʻe ha taha; pea te ne tāpuni, pea ʻe ʻikai toʻo ʻe ha taha.

23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place, and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house.

Pea te u fakamaʻu ia ʻo hangē ha faʻo ʻi ha potu ʻoku maʻu; pea te ne hoko ko e nofoʻanga lelei lahi ki he fale ʻo ʻene tamai.

24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flagons.

Pea te nau tautau ʻiate ia ʻae lelei kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo ʻene tamai, ko e hako mo e fānau, ʻae ngaahi ipu siʻi kotoa pē, mei he kihiʻi ipu inu, ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ipu kehe kotoa pē.

25 In that day, says Jehovah of hosts, the nail that was fastened in a sure place shall give way, and it shall be hewn down, and fall. And the burden that was upon it shall be cut off, for Jehovah has spoken it.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe toʻo ʻae faʻo naʻe fakamaʻu ki he potu maʻu, pea ʻe tuʻusi ki lalo, pea homo ia; pea ko e kavenga naʻe ʻi ai ʻe tuʻusi ke motu; he kuo folofola pehē ʻa Sihova.
