< Isaiah 64 >
1 Oh, that thou wouldest breake the heauens, and come downe, and that the mountaines might melt at thy presence!
Taumaiā ke ke haeʻi ʻae ngaahi langi, koeʻuhi ke ke hāʻele hifo, koeʻuhi ke tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi hoʻo ʻafio mai.
2 As the melting fire burned, as the fire caused the waters to boyle, (that thou mightest declare thy Name to thy aduersaries) the people did tremble at thy presence.
ʻO hangē ʻoku ulo ʻae afi vela, ʻoku ngaohi ʻe he afi ʻae vai ke lili, ke pehē hoʻo fakahā ho huafa ki ho ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ke tetetete ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻi ho ʻao!
3 When thou diddest terrible things, which we looked not for, thou camest downe, and the mountaines melted at thy presence.
ʻI hoʻo fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakamanavahē ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻamanaki ki ai, naʻa ke hāʻele hifo, naʻe tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi ho ʻao ʻi hoʻo ʻafio mai.
4 For since the beginning of the world they haue not heard nor vnderstande with the eare, neither hath ye eye seene another God beside thee, which doeth so to him that waiteth for him.
He talu ʻae kamataʻanga ʻo māmani ʻoku teʻeki fanongo, pe ongoʻi ʻe he telinga, pe mamata ʻe ha mata, ki ha ʻOtua mo koe, ʻaia kuo ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē ni maʻanautolu ʻoku tatali kiate ia.
5 Thou diddest meete him, that reioyced in thee, and did iustly: they remembred thee in thy wayes: beholde, thou art angrie, for we haue sinned: yet in them is continuance, and we shall be saued.
ʻOku ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia ʻoku fiefia pea fai māʻoniʻoni, kiate kinautolu ʻoku manatu kiate koe ʻi ho ngaahi hala: vakai, ʻoku ke houhau; he kuo mau fai angahala: ka ʻoku tuʻumaʻu [ʻena], pea te mau moʻui.
6 But we haue all bene as an vncleane thing, and all our righteousnes is as filthie cloutes, and we all doe fade like a leafe, and our iniquities like the winde haue taken vs away.
ʻOku mau tatau kotoa pē mo e taʻemaʻa, pea ʻoku tatau ʻemau māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē mo e ngaahi konga holoholo fakalielia; pea ʻoku mau mae kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e louʻakau; pea ko ʻemau ngaahi hia, ʻo hangē ko e matangi, kuo ne ʻāvea ʻakimautolu.
7 And there is none that calleth vpon thy Name, neither that stirreth vp himselfe to take holde of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from vs, and hast consumed vs because of our iniquities.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku ui ki ho huafa, pe ueʻi ʻe ia ia ke puke kiate koe: he kuo ke fufū ho fofonga ʻiate kimautolu, pea kuo fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu, koeʻuhi ko ʻemau ngaahi hia.
8 But now, O Lord, thou art our Father: we are the clay, and thou art our potter, and we all are the worke of thine hands.
Ka ko eni, ʻE Sihova, ko koe ko ʻemau tamai; ko e ʻumea ʻakimautolu, pea ko homau ngaohi koe: pea ko e ngāue ʻa ho nima ʻakimautolu kotoa pē.
9 Be not angry, O Lord, aboue measure, neither remember iniquitie for euer: lo, we beseech thee beholde, we are all thy people.
ʻOua naʻa ke houhau lahi, ʻE Sihova, pe manatu maʻuaipē ki he hia: vakai, pea ʻafioʻi, ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, he ko hoʻo kakai ʻakimautolu kotoa pē.
10 Thine holy cities lye waste: Zion is a wildernes, and Ierusalem a desart.
Kuo hoko ko e toafa ʻa hoʻo ngaahi kolo māʻoniʻoni, ko e potu liʻaki ʻa Saione, kuo ʻauha ʻa Selūsalema.
11 The House of our Sanctuarie and of our glorie, where our fathers praysed thee, is burnt vp with fire and all our pleasant things are wasted.
Kuo vela ʻi he afi ʻa homau fale matamata ʻeiki mo māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia naʻe fakamālō ai kiate koe ʻa ʻemau ngaahi tamai: pea kuo maumau ʻemau ngaahi meʻa lelei kotoa pē.
12 Wilt thou holde thy selfe still at these things, O Lord? wilt thou holde thy peace and afflict vs aboue measure?
Te ke taʻofi koe, ʻE Sihova, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni? Te ke fakalongo pe, pea fakamamahi lahi ʻakimautolu?
