Isaiah 10

1 Woe vnto them that decree wicked decrees, and write grieuous things,

‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻae fono taʻemāʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku tohi ʻae mamahi ʻaia kuo nau tuʻutuʻuni;

2 To keepe backe ye poore from iudgement, and to take away the iudgement of the poore of my people, that widowes may be their pray, and that they may spoyle the fatherlesse.

Ke fakaafe ʻae masiva mei he fakamaau, pea faʻao ʻae totonu mei he masiva ʻo hoku kakai, ke nau kākaaʻi ʻae kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, pea ke nau kaihaʻa mei he tamai mate!

3 What will ye doe nowe in the day of visitation, and of destruction, which shall come from farre? to whom will ye flee for helpe? and where will ye leaue your glorie?

Pea ko e hā te mou fai ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻaʻahi, pea ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻaia ʻe haʻu mei he mamaʻo? Te mou kumi ʻae tokoni meia hai? Pea te mou tuku ʻi fē ʻa homou nāunau?

4 Without me euery one shall fall among them that are bound, and they shall fall downe among the slayne: yet for all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

‌ʻI he taʻemaʻu au te nau hoko ko e pōpula ki he pōpula, pea moʻulaloa kiate kinautolu kuo fakamoʻulaloa. Pea neongo ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai taʻofi hono houhau, ka ʻoku kei mafao hono nima.

5 O Asshur, the rodde of my wrath: and the staffe in their hands is mine indignation.

ʻE malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻo ʻAsilia, ko e meʻa tā ʻo ʻeku tuputāmaki, pea ko e tokotoko ʻi honau nima ko hoku houhau ia.

6 I will sende him to a dissembling nation, and I will giue him a charge against the people of my wrath to take the spoyle and to take the pray, and to treade them vnder feete like the mire in the streete.

Te u fekau ia ki he puleʻanga mālualoi, pea ki he kakai ʻoku ou houhau ki ai te u tuku kiate ia ha fekau, ke ʻave ʻae koloa, pea ʻave mo e meʻakai, pea ke molomoloki ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e pelepela ʻoe ngaahi hala.

7 But he thinketh not so, neither doeth his heart esteeme it so: but he imagineth to destroy and to cut off not a fewe nations.

Ka ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ko hono loto ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke mahalo pehē ʻa hono loto; ka ʻoku ʻi hono loto ke tuʻusi mo fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga lahi.

8 For he sayeth, Are not my princes altogether Kings?

He ʻoku ne pehē, “ʻIkai ko e ngaahi tuʻi moʻoni ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoku ʻiate au?

9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?

‌ʻIkai ʻoku tatau ʻa Kalino mo Kalikimisi? ʻIkai ʻoku tatau ʻa Hamate mo ʻApati? ʻIkai ʻoku tatau ʻa Samēlia mo Tamasikusi?

10 Like as mine hand hath founde the kingdomes of the idoles, seeing their idoles were aboue Ierusalem, and aboue Samaria:

‌ʻO hangē ko e ʻilo ʻa hoku nima ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoe kau tamapua, ʻaia naʻe lahi hake ki Selūsalema mo Samēlia ʻenau ngaahi tamapua;

11 Shall not I, as I haue done to Samaria, and to the idoles thereof, so doe to Ierusalem and to the idoles thereof?

‌ʻO hangē ko ia kuo u fai ki Samēlia mo ʻene ngaahi tamapua, ʻikai te u fai pehē foki ki Selūsalema mo ʻene ngaahi tamapua?”

12 But when the Lord hath accomplished all his worke vpon mount Zion and Ierusalem, I will visite the fruite of the proude heart of the King of Asshur, and his glorious and proud lookes,

Ko ia ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻOka fakakakato ʻe he ʻEiki ʻa ʻene ngāue kotoa ʻi he moʻunga ko Saione pea mo Selūsalema, te u tautea ʻae futa ʻoe loto mālohi ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea mo e hihiki ʻo hono mata fielahi.”

13 Because he said, By ye power of mine owne hand haue I done it, and by my wisdome, because I am wise: therefore I haue remooued the borders of the people, and haue spoyled their treasures, and haue pulled downe the inhabitants like a valiant man.

He ʻoku ne pehē, “ʻI he mālohi ʻo hoku nima kuo u fai eni, pea ʻi heʻeku poto; he ʻoku ou fai fakapotopoto: pea kuo u toʻo ʻae ngaahi fakangatangata ʻoe kakai, pea kaihaʻasia mo ʻenau koloa, pea kuo u fakamoʻulaloa ʻae kakai ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku taau mo e tangata toʻa:

14 And mine hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people, and as one gathereth egges that are left, so haue I gathered all the earth: and there was none to mooue the wing or to open the mouth, or to whisper.

Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe hoku nima ʻae koloa ʻae kakai ʻo hangē ko ha pununga: pea hangē ko ha taha ʻoku tānaki ʻae ngaahi foʻi manu ʻoku pehē ʻa ʻeku tānaki ʻa māmani kotoa pē; pea naʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne ueʻi ʻae kapakau, pe fakamanga ʻae ngutu, pe fakaʻasi.”

15 Shall the axe boast it selfe against him that heweth therewith? or shall the sawe exalt it selfe against him that moueth it? as if the rod shoulde lift vp it selfe against him that taketh it vp, or the staffe should exalt it selfe, as it were no wood.

‌ʻE fielahi ʻae toki kiate ia ʻoku ne tā ʻaki ia? Pe fielahi ʻae kili kiate ia ʻoku ne fetohoaki ia? ʻO hangē ka tā mai ʻae ʻakau kiate ia ʻoku ne toʻo ia, pea hangē ka hiki hake ʻe he tokotoko kiate ia ʻoku ne toʻo ia.

16 Therefore shall the Lord God of hostes send amog his fat men, leannes, and vnder his glorie he shall kindle a burning, like the burning of fire.

Ko ia ʻe fekau atu ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻEiki ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻae tutue ki honau kakai sino; pea te ne tutu ke vela ʻa hono nāunau ʻo hangē ko e kakaha ʻae afi.

17 And the light of Israel shalbe as a fire, and the Holy one thereof as a flame, and it shall burne, and deuoure his thornes and his briers in one day:

Pea ko e maama ʻo ʻIsileli ʻe hoko ia ko e afi, pea ko hono tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ko e ulo afi, pea ʻe kakaha ia pea fakaʻauha ʻi he ʻaho pe taha hono ngaahi ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻāmoa;

18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitfull fieldes both soule and flesh: and he shalbe as ye fainting of a standard bearer.

Pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻae lelei ʻoe vao lahi ʻo ia, pea mo ʻene ngoue ʻoku fua, ʻae laumālie mo e sino fakatouʻosi; pea te nau hangē ko e tangata toʻo fuka kuo pongia.

19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shalbe fewe, that a childe may tell them.

Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ʻakau ʻoe vao lahi ko ia te nau tokosiʻi, ko ia ʻe faʻa tohi ia ʻe ha tamasiʻi.

20 And at that day shall the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Iaakob, stay no more vpon him that smote them, but shall stay vpon ye Lord, ye Holy one of Israel in trueth.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻo pehē, ko hono toe ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo kinautolu kuo hao ʻi he fale ʻo Sēkope, ʻe ʻikai te nau toe falala kiate ia naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu; ka e falala moʻoni kia Sihova, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.

21 The remnant shall returne, euen the remnant of Iaakob vnto the mightie God.

‌ʻE foki mai hono toe, ʻio, ʻae toe ʻo Sēkope, ki he ʻOtua Māfimafi.

22 For though thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, yet shall the remnant of them returne. The consumption decreed shall ouerflow with righteousnesse.

He neongo ʻae tatau ʻa hoʻo kakai, ʻE ʻIsileli, mo e ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi, ka e foki mai pe hono toe: kuo pau ke hoko ʻae fakaʻauha ʻe fonu mahua ʻi he fai totonu.

23 For the Lord God of hostes shall make the consumption, euen determined, in the middes of all the land.

He ko Sihova ko e ʻEiki ʻoe ngaahi kautau te ne fai ʻae fakaʻauha kuo kotofa, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fonua kotoa pē.

24 Therefore thus saith ye Lord God of hostes, O my people, that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of Asshur: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift vp his staffe against thee after the maner of Egypt:

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻEiki ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻE hoku kakai ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi Saione, ʻoua ʻe manavahē ki he tangata ʻAsilia: te ne taaʻi koe ʻaki ʻae meʻa tā, pea hiki hake hono tokotoko kiate koe, ka ʻe hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻi ʻIsipite.

25 But yet a very litle time, and the wrath shall be consumed, and mine anger in their destruction.

Koeʻuhi ʻe toetoe siʻi pea ʻe ngata ʻa hoku tuputāmaki, pea mo hoku houhau, ka te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.

26 And ye Lord of hostes shall raise vp a scourge for him, according to the plague of Midian in the rocke Oreb: and as his staffe was vpon the Sea, so he will lift it vp after the maner of Egypt.

Pea ʻe hiki hake ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻae meʻa tautea ʻo hangē ko e fakaʻauha ʻa Mitiane ʻi he maka ko Olepi: pea tatau mo ʻene tokotoko naʻe ai ki he tahi, ʻe pehē ʻa ʻene hiki hake ia ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ki ʻIsipite.

27 And at that day shall his burden be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy necke: and the yoke shalbe destroied because of the anoynting.

Pea ʻe hoko pehē, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe toʻo ʻene kavenga mei ho uma, mo ʻene haʻamonga mei ho kia, pea ʻe maumauʻi ʻae haʻamonga mei homou uma.”

28 He is come to Aiath: he is passed into Migron: at Michmash shall he lay vp his armour.

Kuo haʻu ia ki ʻAiata, kuo ʻalu atu ia ki Mikiloni; kuo ne tānaki ʻene ngaahi saliote ʻi Mikimasi:

29 They haue gone ouer the foorde: they lodged in the lodging at Geba: Ramah is afraide: Gibeah of Saul is fled away.

Kuo nau laka ʻi he potu fāsiʻi: kuo nau nofo ʻi Kepa; ʻoku manavahē ʻa Lama; pea kuo hola ʻa Kipea ʻo Saula.

30 Lift vp thy voyce, O daughter Gallim, cause Laish to heare, O poore Anathoth.

‌ʻE ʻofefine ʻo Kalimi, hiki hake ho leʻo: fai ke ongo atu ia ki Leisi, ʻE ʻAnatoti masiva.

31 Madmenah is remoued: the inhabitants of Gebim haue gathered themselues together.

Kuo ʻave ʻa Matemena; ʻoku fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ʻe Kepime ke nau hola.

32 Yet there is a time that he will stay at Nob: he shall lift vp his hand towarde the mount of the daughter Zion, the hill of Ierusalem.

Te ne nofo pe ia ʻi he ʻaho ni ʻi Nope: te ne lulululu hono nima ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione, ʻae moʻunga ʻo Selūsalema.

33 Beholde, the Lord God of hostes shall cut off the bough with feare, and they of high stature shalbe cut off, and the hie shalbe humbled.

Vakai, ko e ʻEiki, ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, te ne tuʻusi ʻae vaʻa ʻaki ʻae manavahē lahi: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku māʻolunga ʻe tā hifo, pea ko e fielahi ʻe fakavaivaiʻi.

34 And he shall cut away the thicke places of the forest with yron, and Lebanon shall haue a mightie fall.

Pea te ne tuʻusi ki lalo ʻae ngaahi potu ʻakau matolu ʻoe vao lahi ʻaki ʻae ukamea, pea ʻe tō ki lalo ʻa Lepanoni ʻi ha taha mālohi.
