Isaiah 24

1 Behold the Lord shall lay waste the earth, and shall strip it, and shall afflict the face thereof, and scatter abroad the inhabitants thereof.

Vakai, ʻoku fakamaha ʻe Sihova ʻae fonua, mo fakalala ia, mo ne fulihi ia, pea fakamovetevete ʻa hono kakai.

2 And it shall be as with the people, so with the priest: and as with the servant, so with his master: as with the handmaid, so with her mistress: as with the buyer, so with the seller: as with the lender, so with the borrower: as with him that calleth for his money, so with him that oweth.

Pea ʻe pehē pe, hangē ko ia ʻoku ʻi he kakai, ʻe pehē pe ki he taulaʻeiki; hangē ko e tamaioʻeiki, ʻe pehē pe ki heʻene ʻeiki; hangē ko e kaunanga, ʻe pehē pe ki heʻene ʻeiki fefine; hangē ko e tangata fakatau mai, ʻe pehē pe ki he tangata fakatau atu; hangē ko ia ʻoku tali ʻae nono, ʻe pehē pe ki he tangata kole; hangē ko ia ʻoku ʻi he tangata maʻu totongi nō paʻanga, ʻe pehē ʻi he tangata ʻoku ʻatu ʻae totongi nō paʻanga kiate ia.

3 With desolation shall the earth be laid waste, and it shall be utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.

‌ʻE fakamaha ʻaupito ʻae fonua, pea fakaʻauha ia: he kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae folofola ni.

4 The earth mourned, and faded away, and is weakened: the world faded away, the height of the people of the earth is weakened.

‌ʻOku mamahi ʻae fonua pea mae ia, ʻoku vaivai ʻa māmani pea ʻoku mae, ʻoku vaivai ʻae kakai fieʻeiki ʻoe fonua.

5 And the earth is infected by the inhabitants thereof: because they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have broken the everlasting covenant.

Kuo ʻuliʻi foki ʻae fonua ʻi hono kakai; koeʻuhi kuo nau maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi fono, ʻo liliu ʻae tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo maumauʻi ʻae fuakava taʻengata.

6 Therefore shall a curse devour the earth, and the inhabitants thereof shall sin: and therefore they that dwell therein shall be mad, and few men shall be left.

Ko ia kuo ʻauha ai ʻae fonua ʻi he malaʻia, pea ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai ʻoku nau mamahi: ko ia kuo tutu ai ʻae kakai ʻo māmani, pea ʻoku toe ʻae tangata tokosiʻi pe.

7 The vintage hath mourned, the vine hath languished away, all the merryhearted have sighed.

‌ʻOku mamahi ʻae uaine foʻou, ʻoku vaivai ʻae vaine, ʻoku toʻe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe loto fiefia.

8 The mirth of timbrels hath ceased, the noise of them that rejoice is ended, the melody of the harp is silent.

Kuo ngata ʻae fakafiefia ʻoe ngaahi lali, kuo ʻosi ʻae longoaʻa ʻokinautolu naʻe fiefia, kuo ngata ʻae fakafiefia ʻoe haʻape.

9 They shall not drink wine with a song: the drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

‌ʻE ʻikai te nau kei inu uaine mo e hiva; ʻe kona ʻae kava mālohi kiate kinautolu ʻoku inu ia.

10 The city of vanity is broken down, every house is shut up, no man cometh in.

Kuo maumauʻi hifo ʻae kolo ʻoe maveuveu: kuo tāpuni ʻae ngaahi fale kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hū ki ai ha tangata.

11 There shall be a crying for wine in the streets: all mirth is forsaken: the joy of the earth is gone away.

‌ʻOku ai ʻae tangi ki he uaine ʻi he ngaahi hala; kuo fakapoʻuli ʻae fiefia kotoa pē, kuo mole ʻae fiefia ʻi he fonua.

12 Desolation is left in the city, and calamity shall oppress the gates.

Kuo tuku ʻi he kolo ʻae fakaʻauha, pea kuo taaʻi ke lailai hono ngaahi matapā.

13 For it shall be thus in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people, as if a few olives, that remain, should be shaken out of the olive tree: or grapes, when the vintage is ended.

ʻOku hoko ʻo pehē ki he kakai ʻoe loto fonua, ʻe ai ʻo hangē ko e lulululu ʻoe ʻakau ko e ʻolive, pea hangē ko e toenga kālepi ʻoka hili hono tānaki mei he vaine.

14 These shall lift up their voice, and shall give praise: when the Lord shall be glorified, they shall make a joyful noise from the sea.

Te nau hiki hake honau leʻo, te nau hiva koeʻuhi ko e māʻolunga ʻa Sihova, te nau kalanga mei he tahi.

15 Therefore glorify ye the Lord in instruction: the name of the Lord God of Israel in the islands of the sea.

Ko ia ke mou fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngaahi afi, ʻio, ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi ʻotu motu ʻoe tahi.

16 From the ends of the earth we have heard praises, the glory of the just one. And I said: My secret to myself, my secret to myself, woe is me: the prevaricators have prevaricated, and with the prevarication of transgressors they have prevaricated.

Kuo mau fanongo ki he ngaahi hiva mei he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻio, ko e fakaongolelei ki he māʻoniʻoni. Ka naʻaku pehē, ʻA ʻeku tutue, ʻa ʻeku tutue; ʻe malaʻia au! Kuo fai kākā ʻae kau fai taʻetotonu; ʻio, kuo fai kākā lahi ʻaupito ʻae kakai fai taʻetotonu.

17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, O thou inhabitant of the earth.

‌ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae ilifia, mo e luo, pea mo e tauhele, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani.

18 And it shall come to pass, that he that shall flee from the noise of the fear, shall fall into the pit: and he that shall rid himself out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the flood-gates from on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko ia ʻoku hola mei he longoaʻa ʻoe ilifia ʻe tō ki he luo; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻalu hake mei he loto luo ʻe moʻua ia ʻi he tauhele: he kuo toʻo ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻi ʻolunga, pea ʻoku ngalulu ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani.

19 With breaking shall the earth be broken, with crushing shall the earth be crushed, with trembling shall the earth be moved.

Kuo maumau hifo ʻaupito ʻa māmani, kuo ʻauha ʻaupito ʻae fonua, kuo ngalulu lahi ʻaupito ʻa māmani.

20 With shaking shall the earth be shaken as a drunken man, and shall be removed as the tent of one night: and the iniquity thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fell, and not rise again.

‌ʻE tasipesipa ʻa māmani ʻo hangē ko e tangata konā, ʻe hiki ia ʻo hangē ko ha fale siʻi, pea ʻe mamafa ki ai ʻa ʻene angahala; pea ʻe hinga ia, pea ʻe ʻikai toetuʻu.

21 And it shall come to pass, that in that day the Lord shall visit upon the host of heaven on high, and upon the kings of the earth, on the earth.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe tautea ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻae kakai ʻeiki ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga, pea ʻi he māmani ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani.

22 And they shall be gathered together as in the gathering of one bundle into the pit, and they shall be shut up there in prison: and after many days they shall be visited.

Pea ʻe tānaki fakataha ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ʻoku tānaki ʻae kau pōpula ki he luo, pea ʻe tāpuni ʻi he fale fakapōpula, pea hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻe ʻaahiʻi ʻakinautolu.

23 And the moon shall blush, and the sun shall be ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem, and shall be glorified in the sight of his ancients.

Pea ʻe toki puputuʻu ʻae māhina, pea ʻe mā mo e laʻā, koeʻuhi ʻe pule ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻi hono māfimafi ʻi he moʻunga ko Saione, pea ʻi Selūsalema, pea ʻe ongoongolelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe mātuʻa ʻo hono kakai.
