< Isaiah 62 >

1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be still, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a torch that burneth.
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 nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory; and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah will name.
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 thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy 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 Thou shalt no more be termed, Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed, Desolate: but thou shalt be called, My delight is in her, and thy land, Married; for Jehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
‌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 [as] a young man marrieth a virgin, shall thy sons marry thee; and with the joy of the bridegroom over the bride, shall thy God rejoice over thee.
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 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, Jerusalem; all the day and all the night they shall never hold their peace: ye that put Jehovah in remembrance, keep not silence,
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 give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in 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 Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand and by the arm of his strength, I will indeed no more give thy corn [to be] food for thine enemies; and the sons of the alien shall not drink thy new wine, for which thou hast laboured;
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 they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
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 Go through, go through the gates; prepare the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a banner for the peoples.
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, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence 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 shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah; and thou shalt be called, The sought out, The city 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.”
