Isaiah 30

1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of Me; and that form projects, but not of My spirit, that they may add sin to sin;

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE malaʻia ʻae fānau talangataʻa, ʻaia ʻoku fakakaukau kae ʻikai ʻiate au; pea ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae meʻa ʻufiʻufi; ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoku laumālie, koeʻuhi ke nau fakalahi ʻae angahala ki he angahala

2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at My mouth; to take refuge in the stronghold of Pharaoh, and to take shelter in the shadow of Egypt!

‌ʻOku nau fononga ke ʻalu hifo ki ʻIsipite ke fakamālohi ʻakinautolu ʻi he mālohi ʻo Felo, pea ke faʻaki ki he malu ʻo ʻIsipite; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fehuʻi ki hoku fofonga!

3 Therefore shall the stronghold of Pharaoh turn to your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your confusion.

Ko ia ʻe hoko ʻae mālohi ʻo Felo ko homou manga, pea ko e falala ki he malu ʻo ʻIsipite ko homou maveuveu.

4 For his princes are at Zoan, and his ambassadors are come to Hanes.

He ko hono ngaahi houʻeiki naʻe ʻi Soani, pea naʻe haʻu ʻene kau talafekau ki Hanesi.

5 They shall all be ashamed of a people that cannot profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

Naʻa nau mā kotoa pē ʻi he kakai naʻe taʻeʻaonga kiate kinautolu, naʻe ʻikai ko ha tokoni pe ko e ʻaonga, ka ko e fakamā pea mo e ongokovi.

6 The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.

Ko e kavenga ʻoe ngaahi manu ʻoku ʻave ki he potu tonga: ki he fonua ʻoe mamahi mo e ongosia, ʻaia ʻoku haʻu mei ai ʻae laione mui mo e laione motuʻa, ʻae ngata fekai pea mo e ngata afi ʻoku puna, te nau fua ʻenau koloa ʻi he uma ʻoe fanga ʻasi mui, mo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa ʻi he hula ʻoe fanga kāmeli, ki ha kakai ʻe ʻikai ʻaonga kiate kinautolu.

7 For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called her arrogancy that sitteth still.

He ko e meʻa vaʻinga pea taʻeʻaonga, ʻae tokoni mei he kakai ʻo ʻIsipite, ko ia kuo u kalanga ʻi he meʻa ni, Ko honau mālohi ke nofo pe.

8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever.

Te ke ʻalu ni ʻo tohi ia ʻi honau ʻao ʻi he palepale, pea tohi ia ʻi ha tohi koeʻuhi ko e kuonga ki mui ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.

9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that refuse to hear the teaching of the LORD;

‌ʻO pehē, ko e kakai angatuʻu eni, ko e fānau loi, ko e fānau ʻoku ʻikai fie fanongo ki he fono ʻa Sihova:

10 That say to the seers: 'See not,' and to the prophets: 'Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy delusions;

‌ʻOku nau pehē ki he kau kikite, ʻoua naʻa mamata, pea ki he kau palōfita, ʻoua ʻe fakahā kiate kimautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa totonu; lea ʻaki kiate kimautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa mālie, kikite ʻaki ʻae ngaahi kākā:

11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.'

Tuʻu ki he ʻatā mei he hala, afe atu mei he hala, tuku ke mole ʻi hotau ʻao ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.

12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon;

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli, Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fehiʻa ki he folofola ni, pea falala ki he fakamālohi mo e mioʻi, mo faʻaki ki ai:

13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

Ko ia ʻe hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻae hia ni ʻo hangē ʻae foaʻi ha ʻā maka ʻoku teitei hinga, ʻo hangē ko ha mafahi ʻi ha ʻā māʻolunga ʻoku hoko hono maumau fakafokifā ʻi ha kemo pe taha.

14 And He shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces thereof a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the cistern.

Pea te ne maumau ia ʻo hangē ko e maumau ʻae ipu ʻoe tufunga ngaohi ipu ʻaia kuo foaʻi ʻo lailai; ʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi: ko ia ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻi hono pā ʻo ia ha konga ke vela ʻi he veʻe afi, pe ʻutu ʻaki ha vai mei he luo.

15 For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: in sitting still and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye would not.

He ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻI he tafoki mo e nofo pe te mou moʻui ai; ʻi he angavaivai mo e tui ʻe ai homou mālohi: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou loto ki ai.

16 But ye said: 'No, for we will flee upon horses'; therefore shall ye flee; and: 'We will ride upon the swift'; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

Ka naʻa mou pehē, “ʻE ʻikai; ka te mau hola ʻi he fanga hoosi; ko ia te mou hola:” pea, “Te mau heka ʻi he veʻe vave; ko ia ʻe veʻe vave foki mo kinautolu ʻoku tuli ʻakimoutolu.”

17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one, at the rebuke of five shall ye flee; till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.

‌ʻE hola ʻae toko taha afe ʻi he valoki ʻo ha tokotaha; ʻi he valoki ʻoe toko nima te mou hola ai: kaeʻoua ke tuku ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko ha ʻakau fakaʻilonga ʻi he tumutumu ʻo ha moʻunga, pea hangē ko ha fuka ʻi he tafungofunga.

18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have compassion upon you; for the LORD is a God of justice, happy are all they that wait for Him.

Pea ko ia ʻe tatali ai ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu, pea ko ia ʻe fakahikihikiʻi ia, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu: he ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe fakamaau: ʻoku monūʻia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tatali kiate ia.

19 For, O people that dwellest in Zion at Jerusalem, thou shalt weep no more; He will surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry, when He shall hear, He will answer thee.

Koeʻuhi ʻe nofo ʻae kakai ʻi Saione ʻi Selūsalema: ʻe ʻikai te ke toe tangi: te ne fai lelei lahi kiate koe ʻi he leʻo ʻo hoʻo tangi; ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai, te ne talia koe.

20 And though the Lord give you sparing bread and scant water, yet shall not thy Teacher hide Himself any more, but thine eyes shall see thy Teacher;

Pea neongo ʻae ʻatu kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻae mā ʻoe ongosia, pea mo e vai ʻoe mamahi, ka e ʻikai toe ʻave hoʻo kau akonaki ki ha tuliki, ka e mamata ʻe ho mata ki hoʻo kau akonaki.

21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying: 'This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.'

Pea ka ke ka afe ki he toʻomataʻu, pea ʻi hoʻo afe ki he toʻohema, ʻe fanongo ʻe ho telinga ki ha lea mei ho tuʻa, ʻo pehē, “Ko eni ʻae hala, ke ke ʻalu ʻi ai.”

22 And ye shall defile thy graven images overlaid with silver, and thy molten images covered with gold; thou shalt put them far away as one unclean; thou shalt say unto it: 'Get thee hence.'

Te mou fakalieliaʻi foki ʻae ʻufiʻufi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamapua siliva kuo tongitongi, pea mo e teunga ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamapua koula kuo haka: te ke liʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko ha kofu fakalielia; te ke pehē ki ai, “ʻAlu koe ʻi heni.”

23 And He will give the rain for thy seed, wherewith thou sowest the ground, and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous; in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

Pea te ne toki foaki ʻae ʻuha ki hoʻo ngaahi tenga, koeʻuhi ke ke tūtuuʻi ki he kelekele; mo e mā ko e fua ʻoe kelekele, pea ʻe lahi ia pea mahu: pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe kai ʻe ho fanga manu ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻataʻatā.

24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat savoury provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.

Pea ko e fanga pulu mo e fanga ʻasi mui ʻoku fakamolū ʻae kelekele, te nau kai ʻae meʻakai lelei, ʻaia kuo fakamaʻa ʻaki ʻae fohe mo e lī.

25 And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill streams and watercourses, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he ngaahi tafungofunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, ʻae ngaahi vai mo e vaitafe ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tāmateʻi lahi, ʻoka hinga ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga.

26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of the seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the bruise of His people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

Pea ʻe tatau ʻae maama ʻoe māhina mo e maama ʻoe laʻā, pea ʻe liunga fitu hono lahi hake ʻoe maama ʻoe laʻā, ʻo hangē ko e maama ʻoe ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku nonoʻo ai ʻe Sihova ʻae lavea ʻo hono kakai, pea fakamoʻui ʻae volu ʻo honau teʻia.

27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, with His anger burning, and in thick uplifting of smoke; His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue is as a devouring fire;

Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova mei he mamaʻo, ʻoku vela ʻi hono houhau, pea ʻoku mamafa ʻae kavenga ʻo ia: ʻoku fonu hono muʻa fofonga ʻi he houhau, pea hangē ko e afi fakaʻauha hono ʻelelo.

28 And His breath is as an overflowing stream, that divideth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction; and a bridle that causeth to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.

Pea ko ʻene mānava, ʻoku hangē ko e vaitafe ʻoku lōfia, ʻe hake ia ʻo aʻu ki he kia, ke lī ki ʻolunga ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaki ʻae fohe ʻoe malaʻia: pea ʻe ai ha meʻa taʻofi ʻi he ngao ʻoe kakai, ke fakahalaʻi ʻakinautolu.

29 Ye shall have a song as in the night when a feast is hallowed; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with the pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

Te mou fai ha hiva, ʻo hangē ko e pō ʻoka fai ai ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni; pea maʻu mo e fiefia ʻoe loto, ʻo hangē ha taha ʻoku ʻalu mo e meʻa ifi ke haʻu ki he moʻunga ʻo Sihova, ki he Toko Taha Māfimafi ʻo ʻIsileli.

30 And the LORD will cause His glorious voice to be heard, and will show the lighting down of His arm, with furious anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a bursting of clouds, and a storm of rain, and hailstones.

Pea ʻe fakaongo atu ʻe Sihova hono leʻo mālohi, pea ʻe fakahā ʻae tuku hifo ʻa hono nima, ʻaki ʻae māsila ʻo hono houhau, pea mo e ulo ʻoe afi fakaʻauha, ʻaki ʻae veteki, mo e afā, mo e ʻuha maka.

31 For through the voice of the LORD shall Asshur be dismayed, the rod with which He smote.

Ko e leʻo ʻo Sihova ʻe tā hifo ai ʻae kakai ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻaia naʻe tā ʻaki honau tokotoko.

32 And in every place where the appointed staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps; and in battles of wielding will He fight with them.

Pea ko e potu kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu ia ki ai, ʻe ʻi ai ʻae meʻa tā ʻoe tautea, ʻaia ʻe ai mamafa ʻe Sihova kiate ia: ʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae ngaahi lali iiki mo e haʻape: pea ʻi he ngaahi tau fakamanavahē te ne tauʻi ʻakinautolu.

33 For a hearth is ordered of old; yea, for the king it is prepared, deep and large; the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

He kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻi muʻa ʻa Tofeti; ʻio, kuo teuteu ia maʻa e tuʻi; kuo ne ngaohi ia ke loloto pea laulahi: ko e fokotuʻunga ia ʻoe afi mo e fefie lahi: ʻoku tutu ia ʻe he mānava ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e sulifa ʻoku tafe.
