Isaiah 34

1 Come near, O nations, to listen; pay attention, O peoples. Let the earth hear, and all that fills it, the world and all that springs from it.

Haʻu ke ofi, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻo fanongo; pea fakafanongo, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kakai: tuku ke fanongo ʻa māmani, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai; ʻa māmani, mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tupu mei ai.

2 The LORD is angry with all the nations and furious with all their armies. He will devote them to destruction; He will give them over to slaughter.

He ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻae tuputāmaki ʻa Sihova, mo hono houhau lahi ʻoku ʻi honau ngaahi kongakau kotoa pē: kuo ne fakaʻauha mālie ʻakinautolu, kuo ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ke tāmateʻi.

3 Their slain will be left unburied, and the stench of their corpses will rise; the mountains will flow with their blood.

Mo ʻenau mate foki ʻe lī kituʻa, pea ʻe ʻalu hake ʻae namuhāhā mei honau ʻangaʻanga, pea ʻe molū ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi honau toto.

4 All the stars of heaven will be dissolved. The skies will be rolled up like a scroll, and all their stars will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like foliage from the fig tree.

Pea ʻe vela ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi kautau kotoa pē ʻoe langi, pea ʻe tākai ʻae ngaahi langi ʻo hangē ko e takainga pepa: pea ʻe tō ki lalo ʻa honau tokolahi, ʻo hangē ko e ngangana ʻoe lau mei he vaine, pea tatau mo e fiki ʻoku tō mei he ʻakau ko e fiki.

5 When My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens, then it will come down upon Edom, upon the people I have devoted to destruction.

He kuo toʻo ʻa ʻeku heletā ʻi he langi: Vakai, ʻe ʻalu hifo ia ki Itumia, pea ki he kakai ʻo hoku houhau, ke totongi.

6 The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood. It drips with fat— with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

Kuo fonu ʻae heletā ʻa Sihova ʻi he toto, kuo pani ia ʻi he ngako, pea ʻi he toto ʻoe fanga lami mo e fanga kosi, ʻi he ngako ʻoe kofuua ʻoe fanga sipitangata: he ʻoku ʻia Sihova ʻae feilaulau ʻi Posela, pea mo e tāmateʻi lahi ʻi he fonua ko Itumia.

7 And the wild oxen will fall with them, the young bulls with the strong ones. Their land will be drenched with blood, and their soil will be soaked with fat.

Pea ʻe ʻalu hifo mo kinautolu ʻae fanga liimi, mo e fanga pulu fakataha mo e fanga pulu tangata; pea ʻe konā honau fonua ʻi he toto, pea ʻe koloaʻia ʻae kelekele ʻi he ngako.

8 For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

He ko e ʻaho ia ʻoe houhau ʻo Sihova, pea ko e taʻu ʻoe ngaahi totongi kiate ia ʻoku fakahaofi ʻa Saione.

9 Edom’s streams will be turned to tar, and her soil to sulfur; her land will become a blazing pitch.

Pea ʻe liliu ʻae ngaahi vaitafe ʻo ia ko e pulu, pea mo e efu ʻo ia ko e sulifa, pea ko e fonua ko ia ʻe hoko ko e pulu vela.

10 It will not be quenched—day or night. Its smoke will ascend forever. From generation to generation it will lie desolate; no one will ever again pass through it.

‌ʻE ʻikai fuʻifuʻi ia ʻi he pō pe ʻi he ʻaho; ʻe ʻalu hake taʻengata ʻae kohu mei ai: ʻe lala ia mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata; ʻe ʻikai fou ai ha taha ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.

11 The desert owl and screech owl will possess it, and the great owl and raven will dwell in it. The LORD will stretch out over Edom a measuring line of chaos and a plumb line of destruction.

Ka e maʻu ia ʻe he komolaniti pea mo e pitane; ʻe nofo ai ʻae lulu mo e leveni: pea te ne falō ki ai ʻae afo ʻae fakaʻauha, pea mo e fua ʻoe fakaʻosiʻosi.

12 No nobles will be left to proclaim a king, and all her princes will come to nothing.

Te nau ui honau houʻeiki ki he puleʻanga, ka e ʻikai ha taha ʻi ai, pea ko e meʻa noa pe hono houʻeiki kotoa pē.

13 Her towers will be overgrown with thorns, her fortresses with thistles and briers. She will become a haunt for jackals, an abode for ostriches.

Pea ʻe tutu ʻae ʻakau talatala ʻi hono ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki, ko e ʻakau veli mo e ʻakau talatala ʻi hono ngaahi kolo: pea ʻe hoko ia ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe fanga talākoni, pea ko e potu ʻoe fanga lulu.

14 The desert creatures will meet with hyenas, and one wild goat will call to another. There the night creature will settle and find her place of repose.

‌ʻE fetaulaki ʻae manu fekai ʻoe toafa mo e manu fekai ʻoe motu, pea ʻe tangi ʻae sataia ki hono toko ua; pea ʻe mālōlō ai ʻae lulu ʻoku tangi, pea ʻilo ai moʻona ha mālōlōʻanga.

15 There the owl will make her nest; she will lay and hatch her eggs and gather her brood under her shadow. Even there the birds of prey will gather, each with its mate.

‌ʻE ngaohi ʻi ai ʻe he motuʻa lulu hono pununga, pea fakatō, pea fōfoaʻi, pea tānaki ki hono malumalu: ʻe tānaki foki ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi volita, taki taha mo hono hoa.

16 Search and read the scroll of the LORD: Not one of these will go missing, not one will lack her mate, because He has ordered it by His mouth, and He will gather them by His Spirit.

Kumi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he tohi ʻa Sihova, pea lau; ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe taʻehoko, ʻe ʻikai masiva ha taha ʻi hono hoa: he kuo fekau ia ʻe hoku ngutu, pea ko hono laumālie kuo tānaki ʻe ia ʻakinautolu.

17 He has allotted their portion; His hand has distributed it by measure. They will possess it forever; they will dwell in it from generation to generation.

Pea kuo ne talotalo ʻe ia maʻanautolu, pea ko hono nima kuo vaheʻi ia kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae afo: te nau maʻu ia ʻo lauikuonga, pea te nau nofo ai mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.
