Isaiah 30

1 Woe to the rebellious sons, says Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE malaʻia ʻae fānau talangataʻa, ʻaia ʻoku fakakaukau kae ʻikai ʻiate au; pea ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae meʻa ʻufiʻufi; ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoku laumālie, koeʻuhi ke nau fakalahi ʻae angahala ki he angahala

2 who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth, to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!

‌ʻOku nau fononga ke ʻalu hifo ki ʻIsipite ke fakamālohi ʻakinautolu ʻi he mālohi ʻo Felo, pea ke faʻaki ki he malu ʻo ʻIsipite; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fehuʻi ki hoku fofonga!

3 Therefore the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

Ko ia ʻe hoko ʻae mālohi ʻo Felo ko homou manga, pea ko e falala ki he malu ʻo ʻIsipite ko homou maveuveu.

4 For their rulers are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.

He ko hono ngaahi houʻeiki naʻe ʻi Soani, pea naʻe haʻu ʻene kau talafekau ki Hanesi.

5 They shall all be ashamed because of a people who cannot profit them, who are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

Naʻa nau mā kotoa pē ʻi he kakai naʻe taʻeʻaonga kiate kinautolu, naʻe ʻikai ko ha tokoni pe ko e ʻaonga, ka ko e fakamā pea mo e ongokovi.

6 The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from where come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people who shall not profit them.

Ko e kavenga ʻoe ngaahi manu ʻoku ʻave ki he potu tonga: ki he fonua ʻoe mamahi mo e ongosia, ʻaia ʻoku haʻu mei ai ʻae laione mui mo e laione motuʻa, ʻae ngata fekai pea mo e ngata afi ʻoku puna, te nau fua ʻenau koloa ʻi he uma ʻoe fanga ʻasi mui, mo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa ʻi he hula ʻoe fanga kāmeli, ki ha kakai ʻe ʻikai ʻaonga kiate kinautolu.

7 For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose. Therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.

He ko e meʻa vaʻinga pea taʻeʻaonga, ʻae tokoni mei he kakai ʻo ʻIsipite, ko ia kuo u kalanga ʻi he meʻa ni, Ko honau mālohi ke nofo pe.

8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it on a scroll, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.

Te ke ʻalu ni ʻo tohi ia ʻi honau ʻao ʻi he palepale, pea tohi ia ʻi ha tohi koeʻuhi ko e kuonga ki mui ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.

9 For it is a rebellious people, lying sons, sons who will not hear the law of Jehovah,

‌ʻO pehē, ko e kakai angatuʻu eni, ko e fānau loi, ko e fānau ʻoku ʻikai fie fanongo ki he fono ʻa Sihova:

10 who say to the seers, Do not see, and to the prophets, Do not prophesy to us right things. Speak to us smooth things. Prophesy deceits.

‌ʻOku nau pehē ki he kau kikite, ʻoua naʻa mamata, pea ki he kau palōfita, ʻoua ʻe fakahā kiate kimautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa totonu; lea ʻaki kiate kimautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa mālie, kikite ʻaki ʻae ngaahi kākā:

11 Get you out of the way. Turn aside out of the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

Tuʻu ki he ʻatā mei he hala, afe atu mei he hala, tuku ke mole ʻi hotau ʻao ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.

12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it,

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli, Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fehiʻa ki he folofola ni, pea falala ki he fakamālohi mo e mioʻi, mo faʻaki ki ai:

13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.

Ko ia ʻe hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻae hia ni ʻo hangē ʻae foaʻi ha ʻā maka ʻoku teitei hinga, ʻo hangē ko ha mafahi ʻi ha ʻā māʻolunga ʻoku hoko hono maumau fakafokifā ʻi ha kemo pe taha.

14 And he shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there shall not be found among the pieces of it a shard with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.

Pea te ne maumau ia ʻo hangē ko e maumau ʻae ipu ʻoe tufunga ngaohi ipu ʻaia kuo foaʻi ʻo lailai; ʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi: ko ia ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻi hono pā ʻo ia ha konga ke vela ʻi he veʻe afi, pe ʻutu ʻaki ha vai mei he luo.

15 For thus said the lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, Ye shall be saved in returning and rest. Your strength shall be in quietness and in confidence. And ye would not,

He ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻI he tafoki mo e nofo pe te mou moʻui ai; ʻi he angavaivai mo e tui ʻe ai homou mālohi: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou loto ki ai.

16 but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses. Therefore ye shall flee. And ye said, We will ride upon the swift. Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.

Ka naʻa mou pehē, “ʻE ʻikai; ka te mau hola ʻi he fanga hoosi; ko ia te mou hola:” pea, “Te mau heka ʻi he veʻe vave; ko ia ʻe veʻe vave foki mo kinautolu ʻoku tuli ʻakimoutolu.”

17 One thousand shall flee at the threat of one. Ye shall flee at the threat of five, till ye are left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.

‌ʻE hola ʻae toko taha afe ʻi he valoki ʻo ha tokotaha; ʻi he valoki ʻoe toko nima te mou hola ai: kaeʻoua ke tuku ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko ha ʻakau fakaʻilonga ʻi he tumutumu ʻo ha moʻunga, pea hangē ko ha fuka ʻi he tafungofunga.

18 And therefore Jehovah will wait, that he may be gracious to you. And therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you, for Jehovah is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

Pea ko ia ʻe tatali ai ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu, pea ko ia ʻe fakahikihikiʻi ia, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu: he ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe fakamaau: ʻoku monūʻia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tatali kiate ia.

19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. Thou shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to thee at the voice of thy cry. When he shall hear, he will answer thee.

Koeʻuhi ʻe nofo ʻae kakai ʻi Saione ʻi Selūsalema: ʻe ʻikai te ke toe tangi: te ne fai lelei lahi kiate koe ʻi he leʻo ʻo hoʻo tangi; ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai, te ne talia koe.

20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet thy teachers shall not be hidden anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.

Pea neongo ʻae ʻatu kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻae mā ʻoe ongosia, pea mo e vai ʻoe mamahi, ka e ʻikai toe ʻave hoʻo kau akonaki ki ha tuliki, ka e mamata ʻe ho mata ki hoʻo kau akonaki.

21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Pea ka ke ka afe ki he toʻomataʻu, pea ʻi hoʻo afe ki he toʻohema, ʻe fanongo ʻe ho telinga ki ha lea mei ho tuʻa, ʻo pehē, “Ko eni ʻae hala, ke ke ʻalu ʻi ai.”

22 And ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold. Thou shall cast them away as an unclean thing. Thou shall say to it, Get thee away.

Te mou fakalieliaʻi foki ʻae ʻufiʻufi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamapua siliva kuo tongitongi, pea mo e teunga ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamapua koula kuo haka: te ke liʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko ha kofu fakalielia; te ke pehē ki ai, “ʻAlu koe ʻi heni.”

23 And he will give the rain for thy seed, with which thou shall sow the ground, and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous. In that day thy cattle shall feed in large pastures.

Pea te ne toki foaki ʻae ʻuha ki hoʻo ngaahi tenga, koeʻuhi ke ke tūtuuʻi ki he kelekele; mo e mā ko e fua ʻoe kelekele, pea ʻe lahi ia pea mahu: pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe kai ʻe ho fanga manu ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻataʻatā.

24 Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.

Pea ko e fanga pulu mo e fanga ʻasi mui ʻoku fakamolū ʻae kelekele, te nau kai ʻae meʻakai lelei, ʻaia kuo fakamaʻa ʻaki ʻae fohe mo e lī.

25 And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, brooks and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he ngaahi tafungofunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, ʻae ngaahi vai mo e vaitafe ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tāmateʻi lahi, ʻoka hinga ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga.

26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah binds up the hurt of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.

Pea ʻe tatau ʻae maama ʻoe māhina mo e maama ʻoe laʻā, pea ʻe liunga fitu hono lahi hake ʻoe maama ʻoe laʻā, ʻo hangē ko e maama ʻoe ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku nonoʻo ai ʻe Sihova ʻae lavea ʻo hono kakai, pea fakamoʻui ʻae volu ʻo honau teʻia.

27 Behold, the name of Jehovah comes from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire,

Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova mei he mamaʻo, ʻoku vela ʻi hono houhau, pea ʻoku mamafa ʻae kavenga ʻo ia: ʻoku fonu hono muʻa fofonga ʻi he houhau, pea hangē ko e afi fakaʻauha hono ʻelelo.

28 and his breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. And a bridle that causes to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.

Pea ko ʻene mānava, ʻoku hangē ko e vaitafe ʻoku lōfia, ʻe hake ia ʻo aʻu ki he kia, ke lī ki ʻolunga ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaki ʻae fohe ʻoe malaʻia: pea ʻe ai ha meʻa taʻofi ʻi he ngao ʻoe kakai, ke fakahalaʻi ʻakinautolu.

29 Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as he who goes with a pipe to come to the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.

Te mou fai ha hiva, ʻo hangē ko e pō ʻoka fai ai ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni; pea maʻu mo e fiefia ʻoe loto, ʻo hangē ha taha ʻoku ʻalu mo e meʻa ifi ke haʻu ki he moʻunga ʻo Sihova, ki he Toko Taha Māfimafi ʻo ʻIsileli.

30 And Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the coming down of his arm with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast and tempest and hailstones.

Pea ʻe fakaongo atu ʻe Sihova hono leʻo mālohi, pea ʻe fakahā ʻae tuku hifo ʻa hono nima, ʻaki ʻae māsila ʻo hono houhau, pea mo e ulo ʻoe afi fakaʻauha, ʻaki ʻae veteki, mo e afā, mo e ʻuha maka.

31 For through the voice of Jehovah the Assyrian shall be dismayed. With his rod he will smite him.

Ko e leʻo ʻo Sihova ʻe tā hifo ai ʻae kakai ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻaia naʻe tā ʻaki honau tokotoko.

32 And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, shall be with the sound of tambourine and harps. And he will fight with them in battles with the brandishing of his arm.

Pea ko e potu kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu ia ki ai, ʻe ʻi ai ʻae meʻa tā ʻoe tautea, ʻaia ʻe ai mamafa ʻe Sihova kiate ia: ʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae ngaahi lali iiki mo e haʻape: pea ʻi he ngaahi tau fakamanavahē te ne tauʻi ʻakinautolu.

33 For a Topheth is prepared of old, yea, it is made ready for the king. He has made it deep and large. The pile of it is fire and much wood. The breath of Jehovah kindles it, like a stream of brimstone.

He kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻi muʻa ʻa Tofeti; ʻio, kuo teuteu ia maʻa e tuʻi; kuo ne ngaohi ia ke loloto pea laulahi: ko e fokotuʻunga ia ʻoe afi mo e fefie lahi: ʻoku tutu ia ʻe he mānava ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e sulifa ʻoku tafe.
