Isaiah 19

1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt are moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt melteth in the midst of it.

Ko e tala mamafa ʻoku kau ki ʻIsipite. Vakai, ʻoku heka ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻao ngaholo, ʻo hāʻele ki ʻIsipite: pea ʻe tetetete ʻae ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻIsipite ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻe vaivai ʻae loto ʻo ʻIsipite ʻi loto ʻiate ia.

2 And I will incite the Egyptians against the Egyptians; and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

Pea te u fakafehiʻa ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ki he kakai ʻIsipite: pea ʻe tau ʻae tangata taki taha kotoa pē ki hono tokoua, pea taki taha ki hono kaungāʻapi; ʻae kolo ki he kolo, mo e puleʻanga ki he puleʻanga.

3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it, and I will destroy the counsel thereof; and they shall seek unto the idols and unto the conjurers, and unto the necromancers, and unto the soothsayers.

Pea ʻe vaivai ʻae laumālie ʻo ʻIsipite ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ia; pea te u maumauʻi ʻae fakakaukau ʻaʻana: pea te nau kumi ki he ngaahi tamapua, pea ki he kau fiemana, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi laumālie kovi, pea ki he kau kikite.

4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord, and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, Te u tuku atu ʻae kakai ʻo ʻIsipite ki he nima ʻo ha ʻeiki ʻoku fakamamahi; pea ʻe puleʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe ha tuʻi ʻoku fai mālohi.

5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up;

Pea ʻe maha ʻae ngaahi vai mei he tahi, pea ʻe fakaʻaʻau ke mōmoa ʻae vaitafe.

6 and the rivers shall stink, and the streams of Egypt shall be diminished and drain away: the reeds and sedges shall wither.

Pea te nau fakanamukūʻi ʻae ngaahi vaitafe; pea ko e ngaahi vai ʻoku mou faʻaki ki ai ʻe fakamaha pea ʻe mōmoa: ʻe mae ʻae ngaahi kaho mo e falaki.

7 The meadows by the Nile, on the banks of the Nile, and everything sown by the Nile, shall be dried up, be driven away, and be no [more].

Ko e ngoue ʻi he veʻe vai, ʻi he ngutu ʻoe ngaahi vai, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻi he veʻe vai, ʻe mae, ʻe mole, pea ʻikai.

8 And the fishers shall mourn, and all they that cast fish-hook into the Nile shall lament, and they that spread net upon the waters shall languish.

‌ʻE mamahi foki ʻae kau toutai ika, pea ʻe lāunga mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku taumātaʻu ʻi he ngaahi vai, pea ʻe vaivai mo kinautolu ʻoku lafo kupenga ki he ngaahi vai.

9 And they that work in fine flax, and they that weave white stuffs shall be ashamed.

Pea ko kinautolu foki ʻoku ngaohi ʻae tupenu lelei, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku lalanga ʻae tupenu vavanga, ʻe fakaʻaʻau ke vaivai.

10 And her pillars shall be broken in pieces, and all workers for hire shall be sad of soul.

Pea ʻe maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻokinautolu ʻoku ngaohi ʻae ngaahi matapā mo e anovai ki he ika.

11 They are but fools, the princes of Zoan, the wise counsellors of Pharaoh: [their] counsel is become senseless. How say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

Ko e moʻoni ko e kau vale ʻae houʻeiki ʻo Soani, ko e fakakaukau ʻoe kau poto ʻo Felo kuo hoko ia ko e fakakaukau vale: ko e hā ʻoku mou pehē ai kia Felo, Ko au ko e foha ʻoe poto, ko e hako ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻi muʻa?

12 Where are they then, thy wise [men]? Let them now tell thee, and let them make known what Jehovah of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

‌ʻOku ʻi fē ʻakinautolu? ʻOku ʻi fē hoʻo kau tangata poto? Tuku ke nau fakahā atu ni kiate koe, pea tuku ke nau ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻae finangalo ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ki ʻIsipite,

13 The princes of Zoan are become foolish, the princes of Noph are deceived; and the corner-stones of its tribes have caused Egypt to err.

Kuo hoko ʻo vale ʻae houʻeiki ʻo Soani, kuo kākaaʻi ʻae houʻeiki ʻo Nofi; pea kuo nau fakahala ʻa ʻIsipite ʻae mālohiʻanga ʻo hono ngaahi faʻahinga.

14 Jehovah hath mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst thereof; and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunkard staggereth in his vomit.

Kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ki honau lotolotonga ha laumālie talangataʻa: pea kuo nau fakahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsipite ʻi heʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e tasipa ʻae tangata konā ʻi heʻene lua.

15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.

Pea ʻe ʻikai ha ngāue ki ʻIsipite, ʻe faʻa fai ʻe he ʻulu pe ko e iku, ʻe he vaʻa pe ko e tefito.

16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women; and it shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shaketh over it.

‌ʻE tatau ʻa ʻIsipite ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mo e kau fefine: pea ʻe tetetete mo manavahē ia koeʻuhi ko e lulululu ʻoe nima ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻaia te ne lulululu kiate kinautolu.

17 And the land of Judah shall be a dismay unto Egypt: every one that thinketh of it shall be afraid for himself, because of the counsel of Jehovah of hosts, which he hath purposed against it.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻae fonua ko Siuta ko e ilifiaʻanga ki ʻIsipite, pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku lea ki ai ʻe tetetete, koeʻuhi ko e tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻaia kuo ne fakakaukau ki ai.

18 In that day shall there be five cities in the land of Egypt speaking the language of Canaan, and swearing by Jehovah of hosts: one shall be called, The city of Heres.

ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe lea ʻaki ʻae lea fakaKēnani ʻe he kolo ʻe nima ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea te nau fuakava kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; pea ʻe ui ʻae kolo ʻe taha, “Ko e kolo ʻoe fakaʻauha.”

19 In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah:

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe ʻai ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ʻi he loto fonua ʻo ʻIsipite, pea mo ha pou kia Sihova ʻi hono ngataʻanga.

20 and it shall be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of the oppressors, and he will send them a saviour and defender, who shall deliver them.

Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e fakaʻilonga pea ko e fakamoʻoni kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite: he te nau tangi kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko e kau fakamālohi, pea te ne fekau kiate kinautolu ha fakamoʻui, ko e tokotaha ʻoku lahi, pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.

21 And Jehovah shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day, and shall serve with sacrifice and oblation; and they shall vow a vow unto Jehovah, and perform it.

Pea ʻe ʻiloʻi ʻa Sihova ʻe ʻIsipite, pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, pea te nau fai ʻae feilaulau mo e foaki; ʻio, te nau fuakava ʻaki ha fuakava kia Sihova, pea fai ki ai.

22 And Jehovah will smite Egypt; he will smite and heal: and they shall return to Jehovah, and he will be entreated of them, and will heal them.

Pea ʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsipite: te ne taaʻi pea fakamoʻui: pea te nau toe tafoki kia Sihova, pea te ne tali ʻa ʻenau hū, pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.

23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria; and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and Egypt shall serve with Assyria.

ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe ai ha hala motuʻa mei ʻIsipite ki ʻAsilia, pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kau ʻAsilia ki ʻIsipite, pea ʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ki ʻAsilia, pea ʻe fai fakataha ʻae kakai ʻIsipite mo e kakai ʻAsilia.

24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe lau ko hono toko tolu ʻa ʻIsileli fakataha mo ʻIsipite mo ʻAsilia, ʻio, ko e tāpuaki ʻi he loto fonua:

25 whom Jehovah of hosts will bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance!

‌ʻAia ʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke monūʻia ʻa ʻIsipite ko hoku kakai, pea mo ʻAsilia ko e ngāue ʻa hoku nima, pea mo ʻIsileli ko hoku tofiʻa.’”
