Isaiah 61

1 The Spirit of the Lord God is vpon mee, therefore hath the Lord anoynted mee: hee hath sent mee to preache good tidings vnto the poore, to binde vp the broken hearted, to preach libertie to the captiues, and to them that are bound, the opening of the prison,

‌ʻOku ʻiate au ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sihova; koeʻuhi kuo fakanofo au ʻe Sihova ke u malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he angamalū; kuo ne fekau au ke nonoʻo ʻae loto mafesi, ke fakahā ʻae tauʻatāina ki he kau pōpula, pea ke fakaava ʻae fale fakapōpula kiate kinautolu kuo haʻisia;

2 To preache the acceptable yeere of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourne,

Ke fakahā ʻae taʻu lelei ʻo Sihova, pea ko e ʻaho ʻoe houhau ʻo hotau ʻOtua; ke fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku mamahi;

3 To appoint vnto them that mourne in Zion, and to giue vnto them beautie for ashes, the oyle of ioye for mourning, the garment of gladnesse for the spirit of heauinesse, that they might be called trees of righteousnesse, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

Ke ʻatu ʻae fiefia kiate kinautolu ʻoku mamahi ʻi Saione, ke ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻae hoihoifua ko e fetongi ʻoe efuefu, ʻae lolo ʻoe fiefia ko e fetongi ʻoe mamahi, ʻae kofu ʻoe fakamālō ko e fetongi ʻoe laumālie kuo mafesi; ke ui ʻakinautolu ko e ngaahi ʻakau ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, naʻe tō ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ongoongolelei ai ia.

4 And they shall builde the olde waste places, and raise vp the former desolations, and they shall repaire the cities that were desolate and waste through many generations.

Pea te nau langa ʻaia naʻe muʻaki maumau, te nau toe fokotuʻu ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha fuoloa, pea te nau fakafoʻou ʻae ngaahi kolo kuo liʻaki, ko e maumau ʻoe toʻutangata toko lahi.

5 And the strangers shall stande and feede your sheepe, and the sonnes of the strangers shall be your plowmen and dressers of your vines.

Pea ʻe tuʻu ʻae kau muli ʻo fafanga hoʻomou fanga manu, pea ʻe hoko ʻae fānau ʻae muli ko hoʻomou kau tangata ngoue mo hoʻomou kau tauhi vaine.

6 But ye shall be named the Priestes of the Lord, and men shall say vnto you, The ministers of our God, Ye shall eate the riches of the Gentiles, and shalbe exalted with their glorie.

Ka e fakahingoa ʻakimoutolu ko e ngaahi Taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova: ʻe ui ʻakimoutolu ʻe he kakai ko e kau Faifekau ʻa hotau ʻOtua: te mou kai ʻae koloa ʻae kakai Senitaile, pea ʻi heʻenau ongoongolelei ʻe polepole ai ʻakimoutolu.

7 For your shame you shall receiue double, and for confusion they shall reioyce in their portion: for in their lande they shall possesse the double: euerlasting ioy shall be vnto them.

Koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou mā te mou maʻu ʻae totongi ke liunga ua, pea ʻe fetongi ʻaki hoʻomou fakamaaʻi ʻae fiefia ʻi honau tofiʻa; he te mou maʻu ke liunga ua hake ʻae tofiʻa ʻi honau fonua pea temou fiefia ai ʻo taʻengata.

8 For I the Lord loue iudgement and hate robberie for burnt offering, and I wil direct their worke in trueth, and will make an euerlasting couenant with them.

“He ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou ʻofa ki he fakamaau, ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he kaihaʻa ke feilaulau tutu ʻaki; pea te u fakahinohino ʻenau ngāue ʻi he moʻoni, pea te u fai ʻae fuakava taʻengata mo kinautolu.

9 And their seede shall be knowen among the Gentiles, and their buddes among the people. All that see them, shall know them, that they are the seede which the Lord hath blessed.

Pea ʻe ʻilo honau hako ʻe he kakai Senitaile, pea mo ʻenau fānau ʻi he kakai: ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku mamata kiate kinautolu, te nau fakahā ʻakinautolu ko e hako kuo tāpuakiʻi ʻe Sihova.”

10 I will greatly reioyce in the Lord, and my soule shall be ioyfull in my God: for he hath clothed mee with the garments of saluation, and couered me with the robe of righteousnes: hee hath decked me like a bridegrome, and as a bride tireth herselfe with her iewels.

Te u fiefia lahi ʻia Sihova, ʻe nekeneka hoku laumālie ʻi hoku ʻOtua: he kuo ne fakakofuʻaki au ʻae kofu ʻoe fakamoʻui, kuo ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki au ʻae kofu tōtōlofa ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, ʻo hangē ko e tangata taʻane ʻoku teuʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa teunga, pea hangē ʻoku teuʻi ʻaki ʻe he taʻahine fakamaʻu hono ngaahi maka koloa.

11 For as the earth bringeth foorth her bud, and as the garden causeth to growe that which is sowen in it: so the Lord God will cause righteousnesse to grow and praise before all the heathen.

‌ʻO hangē ʻoku tupu mei he kelekele hono moto, pea mo e ngoue ʻoku ne fakatupu hake ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tūtuuʻi ki ai; ʻe pehē, ʻe pule ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ke tupu hake ʻae māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamālō ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
