< Isaiah 62 >

1 For the sake of Zion, I will not be silent, and for the sake of Jerusalem, I will not rest, until her Just One advances in splendor, and her Savior is kindled like a lamp.
Koeʻuhi ko Saione ʻe ʻikai te u fakalongo pe, pea koeʻuhi ko Selūsalema ʻe ʻikai te u mālōlō, kaeʻoua ke ulo atu ʻa ʻene māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e maama lahi, pea mo ʻene fakamoʻui ʻo hangē ko e maama ʻoku ulo.
2 And the Gentiles will see your Just One, and all the kings will see your Renowned One. And you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will choose.
Pea ʻe mamata ʻae ngaahi Senitaile ki hoʻo māʻoniʻoni, mo e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ki ho nāunau; pea ʻe ui ʻaki koe ʻae hingoa foʻou, ʻaia ʻe fakahā ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova.
3 And you shall be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
Pea te ke hoko foki ko e tatā ʻoe nāunau ʻi he nima ʻo Sihova, mo e pale fakatuʻi ʻi he nima ʻo ho ʻOtua,
4 You will no longer be called Forsaken. And your land will no longer be called Desolate. Instead, you shall be called My Will within it, and your land shall be called Inhabited. For the Lord has been well pleased with you, and your land will be inhabited.
‌ʻE ʻikai toe ui koe “ko e Liʻaki;” pea ʻe ʻikai toe ui ho fonua “ko e Lala:” ka e ui koe “ko Hefisipa,” mo ho fonua “ko Piula:” he ʻoku fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻiate koe, pea ʻe fai ʻae taʻane ʻi ho fonua.
5 For the young man will live with the virgin, and your children will live with you. And the groom will rejoice over the bride, and your God will rejoice over you.
Hangē ʻoku mali ʻae talavou mo e tāupoʻou, ʻe pehē ʻae mali ho ngaahi foha mo koe: pea hangē ʻoku fiefia ʻae tangata taʻane ʻi he taʻahine, ʻe pehē ʻae fiefia ʻa ho ʻOtua ʻiate koe.
6 Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have stationed watchmen all day and all night unceasingly; they will not be silent. You who are mindful of the Lord, you should not be silent,
Kuo u fekau ʻae kau tangata leʻo ki ho ngaahi ʻā, ʻE Selūsalema, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau fakalongo pē ʻi he ʻaho pe ʻi he pō; ko kimoutolu ʻoku fakahā ʻa Sihova, ʻoua ʻe fakalongo pe,
7 and you should not grant silence to him, until he makes firm and establishes Jerusalem as a praise upon the earth.
Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku kiate ia ha fiemālie, kaeʻoua ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe ia ʻa Selūsalema, pea ke ne ngaohi ia ko e ongoongolelei ʻi māmani.
8 The Lord has sworn with his right hand and with the arm of his strength: “Certainly, I will no longer permit your grain to be the food of your enemies. And the sons of foreigners will not drink your wine, for which you have labored.”
Kuo fuakava ʻe Sihova ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu, pea ʻi he nima ʻo hono mālohi, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te u toe foaki hoʻo uite ko e meʻakai ki ho ngaahi fili; pea ʻe ʻikai inu ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻoe muli ʻi hoʻo uaine, ʻaia kuo ke ngāue ke maʻu:
9 For those who gather it will eat it, and they will praise the Lord. And those who bring it together will drink it in my holy courts.
Ka ko kinautolu kuo tānaki ia te nau kai ia, pea fakamālō kia Sihova; pea ko kinautolu kuo ʻomi fakataha ia te nau inu ia ʻi he ngaahi loto ʻā ʻo hoku māʻoniʻoni.
10 Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare a way for the people! Make the road level, remove the stones, and lift up a sign for the people!
Hū atu, hū atu ʻi he ngaahi matapā; teuteu ʻae hala ʻoe kakai; fokotuʻu hake, fokotuʻu hake ʻae hala māʻolunga; tānaki mei ai ʻae ngaahi maka; fokotuʻu ʻae fuka maʻa ʻe kakai.
11 Behold, the Lord has caused it to be heard to the ends of the earth. Tell the daughter of Zion: “Behold, your Savior approaches! Behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.”
Vakai, kuo folofola ʻa Sihova ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, “Mou pehē ki he ʻofefine ʻo Saione, ‘Vakai, ʻoku haʻu hoʻo fakamoʻui; vakai, ʻoku ʻiate ia hono totongi, pea ʻi hono ʻao ʻa ʻene ngāue.’”
12 And they will call them: The holy people, the redeemed of the Lord. Then you will be called: A city sought, and not forsaken.
Pea te nau ui ʻakinautolu, “Ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni, Ko e kakai kuo huhuʻi ʻe Sihova:” pea ʻe ui koe, “Ko e ʻofeina, Ko e kolo taʻeliʻaki.”
