Isaiah 27
1 In that day Jehovah, with his sore and great and strong sword, will visit leviathan the fleeing serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea.
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe tautea ʻe Sihova ʻae levaiatani ko e ngata mālohi, ʻaki ʻene heletā māsila mo lahi mo mālohi, ʻio, ʻae levaiatani ko e ngata pikopiko; pea te ne tāmateʻi mo e talākoni ʻoku ʻi he tahi.
2 In that day [there shall be] a vineyard of pure wine; sing concerning it:
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia mou hiva kiate ia, ko e ngoue vaine ʻoe uaine kulokula.
3 I Jehovah keep it, I will water it every moment; lest any harm it, I will keep it night and day.
“Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou tauhi ia: te u fakaviviku ia ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē: telia naʻa maumauʻi ia ʻe ha taha, te u tauhi ia ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō.
4 Fury is not in me. Oh that I had briars [and] thorns in battle against me! I would march against them, I would burn them together.
ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au ʻae houhau: ko hai te ne fokotuʻu kiate au ʻae ngaahi ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻāmoa ʻi he tau? Te u ʻalu ʻo ʻasi ʻiate kinautolu, te u tutu fakataha ʻakinautolu.
5 Or let him take hold of my strength; let him make peace with me: [yea, ] let him make peace with me.
Tuku ke ne puke mai ki hoku mālohi, koeʻuhi ke ne fakalelei mo au pea te ne fakalelei mo au.”
6 In the future Jacob shall take root; Israel shall blossom and bud, and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
Te ne ngaohi ke aka ʻakinautolu ʻoku haʻu ia Sēkope: ʻe fisi mo moto ʻa ʻIsileli, pea fakafonu ʻae funga ʻo māmani ʻaki ʻae fua.
7 Hath he smitten him according to the smiting of those that smote him? Is he slain according to the slaughter of those slain by him?
Kuo ne taaʻi ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻene taaʻi ʻakinautolu naʻe taaʻi ia? Pea kuo tāmateʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu kuo tāmateʻi ʻiate ia?
8 In measure, when sending her away, didst thou contend with her: he hath taken [her] away with his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
ʻI hoʻo fekau atu ia naʻa ke fuofua kiate ia ʻae fakamaau: ʻoku ne taʻofi ʻa ʻene afā ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe matangi hahake.
9 By this, therefore, shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit of the taking away of his sin: when he shall make all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are crumbled in pieces, — the Asherahs and the sun-images shall not stand.
Ko ia ko e meʻa ni ʻe fakamaʻa ai ʻae hia ʻa Sēkope; pea te ne maʻu ʻae fua kotoa pē ke ʻave ʻene angahala; ʻoka ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi maka kotoa pē ʻoe ʻesifeilaulauʻanga ke hangē ko e ngaahi maka hinehina ʻaia kuo momosi, ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ki ʻolunga ai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau fakamalumalu mo e ngaahi tamapua.
10 For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation abandoned and forsaken like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume its boughs.
Ka e lala ʻae kolo kuo teuteu ki he tau, ʻe liʻaki ʻae nofoʻanga, pea ʻe tuku ia ʻo hangē ko e toafa: ʻe kai ai ʻae pulu mui, pea te ne tokoto ʻi ai, ʻo ne keina ʻae ngaahi vaʻa litolito ʻi ai.
11 When its branches are withered they shall be broken off; women shall come [and] set them on fire. For it is a people of no intelligence; therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he who formed them will shew them no favour.
ʻOka mae ʻa hono ngaahi vaʻa, ʻe fesiʻi ia: ʻe haʻu ʻae kau fefine ʻo tutu ia: he ko e kakai taʻeʻilo ia: ko ia ia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu, pea ko ia naʻa ne fakafuofua ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻikai te ne fakahā ha ʻofa kiate kinautolu.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah shall beat out from the flood of the river unto the torrent of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, [ye] children of Israel.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe lohuʻi ʻe Sihova hono ngaahi fua, [ʻo fai ]mei he tafeʻanga ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ʻe tānaki ʻakimoutolu ʻo tautau tokotaha, ʻakimoutolu ko e fānau ʻo ʻIsileli.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come that were perishing in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and they shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe ifi ʻae meʻa lea lahi, pea ʻe haʻu ʻakinautolu naʻe meimei mate ʻi ʻAsilia, pea mo e kau ʻāuhē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea ʻe lotu kia Sihova ʻi he moʻunga tapu ʻi Selūsalema.
