Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What does it mean to you, then, that each of you have even climbed to the rooftops?
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 Filled with clamor, a busy city, an exultant city: your dead have not been slain by the sword, nor did they die 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 your leaders have fled together, and they have been bound by hardship. All who were found were chained together. They have fled far away.
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 For this reason, I said: “Depart from me. I will weep bitterly. Make no attempt to console me, over the devastation 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 death, and of trampling, and of weeping to the Lord, the God of hosts, in the valley of vision: examining the wall and the magnificence above the mountain.
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 took up the quiver and the chariot of the horseman; and he stripped the wall of 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 your elect valleys will be filled with chariots, and the horsemen will position themselves at the gates.
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 the covering of Judah will be exposed, and in that day, you will see the weaponry of the forest house.
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 you will see breaches in the city of David, for these have been multiplied. But you have gathered together the waters of the lower fish-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 you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem. And you have destroyed the houses in order to fortify the wall.
Pea kuo mou lau ʻae ngaahi fale ʻo Selūsalema, pea kuo mou veteki ʻae ngaahi fale ke fakamālohi ʻaki ʻae ʻā maka.
11 And you have made a pit between two walls for the waters of the ancient fish-pool. But you have not gazed upward to him who made it, and you have not considered, even from a distance, its Maker.
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, the God of hosts, will call to weeping and mourning, to baldness and the wearing of 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 But behold: gladness and rejoicing, the killing of calves and the slaughter of rams, the eating of meat and the drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will 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 the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in my ears: “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you, until you die,” says the Lord, the God 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, the God of hosts: Go forth and enter to him who lives in the tabernacle, to Shebna, who is in charge of the temple, and you shall say to him:
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 you here, or who are you claiming to be here? For you have hewn a sepulcher for yourself here. You have diligently hewn a memorial in a rock, as a tabernacle to yourself.
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, the Lord will cause you to be carried away, like a domesticated rooster, and he will remove you, like an outer garment.
Vakai, ʻe ʻave koe ʻe Sihova ʻi he fakapōpula fakamanavahē, pea ko e moʻoni te ne taʻomia koe.
18 He will crown you with a crown of tribulation. He will toss you like a ball into a broad and spacious land. There you will die, and there the chariot of your glory will be, for it is a shame to the house of your Lord.”
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 expel you from your station, and I will depose you from your ministry.
Pea te u kapusi koe mei hoʻo potu, pea te ne toho hifo koe mei ho puleʻanga.”
20 And this shall be in that day: 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 your vestment, and I will strengthen him with your belt, and I will give your authority to his hand. And he shall be like 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 place the key of the house of David upon his shoulder. And when he opens, no one will close. And when he closes, no one will 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 like a peg in a trustworthy place. And he will be upon a throne of glory in the house of his father.
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 will suspend over him all the glory of his father’s house: various kinds of vessels and every little article, from the vessels of bowls even to every instrument of music.
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 the Lord of hosts, the peg which was fastened in a trustworthy place shall be taken away. And he will be broken, and he will fall, and he will perish, along with all that had depended upon him, because the Lord 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.
