Esias 16

1 I will send as it were reptiles on the land: is [not] the mount of the daughter of Sion a desolate rock?

Ke mou fekau ke ʻave ʻae lami ki he pule ʻoe fonua mei Sila ʻo aʻu ki he toafa, ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione.

2 For you shall be as a young bird taken away from a bird that has flown: [even] you shall be [so], daughter of Moab: and then do you, O Arnon,

Koeʻuhi ʻe hangē ko e manu he ʻoku kapusi mei hono pununga, ʻe pehē ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Moape ʻi he ngaahi potu mamaha ʻa ʻAlinoni.

3 take farther counsel, and continually make you a shelter from grief: they flee in darkness at mid-day; they are amazed; be not you led captive.

Mou fakakaukau, fai fakapotopoto; ngaohi hoʻatā ke hangē ko e pō ʻi he hoʻatāmālie; fufū ʻae kau ʻāuhē; ʻoua naʻa fakahā ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu hēhē.

4 The fugitives of Moab shall sojourn with you; they shall be to you a shelter from the face of the pursuer: for your alliance has been taken away, and the oppressing ruler has perished from off the earth.

Tuku ke nofo kiate koe ʻa ʻeku kau ʻāuhē, ʻe Moape; ke ke hoko ko e ungaʻanga kiate kinautolu mei he mata ʻoe kaihaʻa: he kuo ngata ʻaia ʻoku fakamālohi, kuo tuku ʻae kaihaʻa, kuo ʻauha ʻae kau fakamamahi mei he fonua.

5 And a throne shall be established with mercy; and one shall sit upon it with truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and earnestly seeking judgements, and hasting righteousness.

Pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae nofoʻanga ʻoe tuʻi ʻi he ʻaloʻofa: pea te ne nofo ai ʻi he moʻoni ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻo Tevita, ʻo fai ʻae fakamaau, pea kumi ki he angatonu, mo fakavave ʻae māʻoniʻoni.

6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud. I have cut off his pride: your prophecy shall not be thus, [no] not thus.

Kuo mau fanongo ki he laukau ʻa Moape; ʻoku laukau ʻaupito ia: ʻio ʻi heʻene fielahi, mo ʻene laukau, mo ʻene ʻita: ka ko e meʻa taʻeʻaonga ʻene ngaahi loi.

7 Moab shall howl; for all shall howl in the land of Moab: but you shall care for them that dwell in Seth, and you shall not be ashamed.

Ko ia ʻe tāngiloa ʻa Moape koeʻuhi ko Moape, ʻe tangi ʻae kakai kotoa pē: te mou mamahi koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo Kili-Haleseti; he ko e moʻoni kuo taaʻi ʻakinautolu.

8 The plains of Esebon shall mourn, the vine of Sebama: swallowing up the nations, trample you her vines, even to Jazer: you shall not come together; wander you in the desert: they that were sent are deserted, for they have gone over to the sea.

He kuo mae ʻae ngoue ʻo Hesiponi, pea mo e vaine ʻo Sipima: kuo fesiʻi hifo ʻe he houʻeiki ʻoe hiteni ʻa hono ngaahi ʻakau lelei, kuo nau haʻu ki Sesa, naʻa nau ʻalu fano ʻi he toafa: kuo mafola atu hono ngaahi vaʻa, kuo nau ika ʻi he tahi.

9 Therefore will I weep as with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sebama; Esebon and Eleale have cast down your trees; for I will trample on your harvest and on your vintages, and all [your plants] shall fall.

Ko ia te u tangi ʻi he tangi ʻo Sesa koeʻuhi ko e vaine ʻo Sipima: te u fakaviviku koe ʻaki hoku loʻimata, ʻE Hesiponi, mo ʻIliale: he kuo ʻosi ʻae kalanga koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi fua ʻoe faʻahitaʻu mafana pea mo hoʻo ututaʻu.

10 And gladness and rejoicing shall be taken away from the vineyards; and they shall not at all tread wine into the vats; for [the vintage] has ceased.

Kuo toʻo ʻo mole ʻae fiefia, mo e nekeneka mei he ʻapi mahu; pea ʻe ʻikai ha hiva, pe ha kalanga ʻe fai ʻi he ngaahi ngoue vaine: ʻe ʻikai toe malaki ha uaine ʻe he kau malaki ʻi he ngaahi tataʻoʻanga; kuo u pule ke tuku ʻenau kalanga fiefia.

11 Therefore my belly shall sound as a harp for Moab, and you have repaired my inward parts as a wall.

Ko ia ʻe tangi ʻa hoku fatu ʻo hangē ko ha haʻape koeʻuhi ko Moape, mo hoku toʻotoʻonga koeʻuhi ko Kili-Haleseti.

12 And it shall be to your shame, (for Moab is wearied at the altars, ) that he shall go in to the idols thereof to pray, but they shall not be at all able to deliver him.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka hā mai kuo ongosia ʻa Moape ʻi he potu māʻolunga, pea te ne haʻu ki hono potu tapu ke hū; ka e ʻikai te ne lavaʻi.

13 This is the word which the Lord spoke against Moab, when he spoke.

Ko eni ʻae folofola kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova, ki Moape talu ʻae kuonga ko ia.

14 And now I say, in three years, of the years of an hireling, the glory of Moab shall be dishonoured [with] all his great wealth; and he shall be left few in number, and not honoured.

Ka ko eni kuo folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻI he teʻeki kakato ʻae taʻu ʻe tolu, hangē ko e taʻu ʻo ha taha ʻoku ngāue kae totongi, ʻe fakavaivaiʻi ʻae nāunau ʻo Moape, mo e fuʻu tokolahi ʻoku ʻi ai; pea ʻe siʻi ʻaupito pea vaivai ʻa hono toenga.”
