Isaiah 27
1 In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent —Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe tautea ʻe Sihova ʻae levaiatani ko e ngata mālohi, ʻaki ʻene heletā māsila mo lahi mo mālohi, ʻio, ʻae levaiatani ko e ngata pikopiko; pea te ne tāmateʻi mo e talākoni ʻoku ʻi he tahi.
2 In that day: “Sing about a fruitful vineyard.
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia mou hiva kiate ia, ko e ngoue vaine ʻoe uaine kulokula.
3 I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it;
“Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou tauhi ia: te u fakaviviku ia ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē: telia naʻa maumauʻi ia ʻe ha taha, te u tauhi ia ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō.
4 I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.
ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au ʻae houhau: ko hai te ne fokotuʻu kiate au ʻae ngaahi ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻāmoa ʻi he tau? Te u ʻalu ʻo ʻasi ʻiate kinautolu, te u tutu fakataha ʻakinautolu.
5 Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.”
Tuku ke ne puke mai ki hoku mālohi, koeʻuhi ke ne fakalelei mo au pea te ne fakalelei mo au.”
6 In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.
Te ne ngaohi ke aka ʻakinautolu ʻoku haʻu ia Sēkope: ʻe fisi mo moto ʻa ʻIsileli, pea fakafonu ʻae funga ʻo māmani ʻaki ʻae fua.
7 Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?
Kuo ne taaʻi ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻene taaʻi ʻakinautolu naʻe taaʻi ia? Pea kuo tāmateʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu kuo tāmateʻi ʻiate ia?
8 By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.
ʻI hoʻo fekau atu ia naʻa ke fuofua kiate ia ʻae fakamaau: ʻoku ne taʻofi ʻa ʻene afā ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe matangi hahake.
9 Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
Ko ia ko e meʻa ni ʻe fakamaʻa ai ʻae hia ʻa Sēkope; pea te ne maʻu ʻae fua kotoa pē ke ʻave ʻene angahala; ʻoka ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi maka kotoa pē ʻoe ʻesifeilaulauʻanga ke hangē ko e ngaahi maka hinehina ʻaia kuo momosi, ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ki ʻolunga ai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau fakamalumalu mo e ngaahi tamapua.
10 For the fortified city lies deserted— a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
Ka e lala ʻae kolo kuo teuteu ki he tau, ʻe liʻaki ʻae nofoʻanga, pea ʻe tuku ia ʻo hangē ko e toafa: ʻe kai ai ʻae pulu mui, pea te ne tokoto ʻi ai, ʻo ne keina ʻae ngaahi vaʻa litolito ʻi ai.
11 When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come and use them for kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.
ʻOka mae ʻa hono ngaahi vaʻa, ʻe fesiʻi ia: ʻe haʻu ʻae kau fefine ʻo tutu ia: he ko e kakai taʻeʻilo ia: ko ia ia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu, pea ko ia naʻa ne fakafuofua ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻikai te ne fakahā ha ʻofa kiate kinautolu.
12 In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe lohuʻi ʻe Sihova hono ngaahi fua, [ʻo fai ]mei he tafeʻanga ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ʻe tānaki ʻakimoutolu ʻo tautau tokotaha, ʻakimoutolu ko e fānau ʻo ʻIsileli.
13 And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe ifi ʻae meʻa lea lahi, pea ʻe haʻu ʻakinautolu naʻe meimei mate ʻi ʻAsilia, pea mo e kau ʻāuhē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea ʻe lotu kia Sihova ʻi he moʻunga tapu ʻi Selūsalema.
