Isaiah 43
1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name, thou art Mine.
Ka ko eni, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi koe, ʻE Sēkope, pea ko ia naʻe fakafuofua koe, ʻE ʻIsileli, “ʻOua ʻe manavahē: he kuo u huhuʻi koe, kuo u ui koe ʻaki ho hingoa; ʻoku ʻaʻaku koe.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
ʻOka ke ka ʻalu ʻi he vai, te u ʻiate koe; pea ʻi he ngaahi vaitafe, ʻe ʻikai te ke melemo ai: ʻoka ke ka ʻalu ʻi he afi, ʻe ʻikai te ke vela; pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake ʻiate koe ʻae ulo afi.
3 For I am the LORD thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
He ko au ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli, ko ho Fakamoʻui: naʻaku foaki ʻa ʻIsipite ko ho huhuʻi, ʻa ʻItiopea mo Sipa maʻau.
4 Since thou art precious in My sight, and honourable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men for thee, and peoples for thy life.
Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo mahuʻinga ʻi hoku ʻao, ko ia naʻa ke ongoongolelei ai, pea kuo u ʻofa kiate koe: ko ia te u foaki ʻae kau tangata koeʻuhi ko koe, pea mo e kakai koeʻuhi ko hoʻo moʻui.
5 Fear not, for I am with thee; I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
ʻOua ʻe manavahē: he ʻoku ou ʻiate koe: te u ʻomi ho hako mei hahake, pea tānaki ko e mei he lulunga;
6 I will say to the north: 'Give up,' and to the south: 'Keep not back, bring My sons from far, and My daughters from the end of the earth;
Te u pehē ki he tokelau, ‘Tukuange,’ pea ki he potu tonga, ‘ʻOua ʻe taʻofi:’ ʻomi hoku ngaahi foha mei he mamaʻo, mo hoku ngaahi ʻofefine mei he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani;
7 Every one that is called by My name, and whom I have created for My glory, I have formed him, yea, I have made him.'
ʻIo, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ui ʻaki hoku huafa: he kuo fakatupu ia ke u ongoongolelei ai: naʻaku fakafuofua ia, ʻio, naʻaku ngaohi ia.”
8 The blind people that have eyes shall be brought forth, and the deaf that have ears.
Omi ʻae kakai kui ʻoku mata, pea mo e tuli ʻoku telinga.
9 All the nations are gathered together, and the peoples are assembled; who among them can declare this, and announce to us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; and let them hear, and say: 'It is truth.'
Ke tānaki fakataha ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ke fakataha ʻae kakai: ko hai ʻiate kinautolu te ne fakahā ʻae meʻa ni, pea fakahā kiate kitautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa muʻa? Tuku ke nau ʻomi ʻa ʻenau kau fakamoʻoni, koeʻuhi ke nau tonuhia: pe tuku ke nau fanongo, pea pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ia.”
10 Ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He; before Me there was no God formed, neither shall any be after Me.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko ʻeku kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu, pea ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ʻaia kuo u fili: koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo pea tui kiate au, pea ʻilo pau ko au ia: naʻe ʻikai ha ʻOtua kuo fakatupu ʻi muʻa ʻiate au, pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha kimui.
11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside Me there is no saviour.
Ko au, ʻio ko au, ko Sihova; pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha fakamoʻui ka ko au pe.
12 I have declared, and I have saved, and I have announced, and there was no strange god among you; therefore ye are My witnesses, saith the LORD, and I am God.
Kuo u fakahā, pea kuo u fakamoʻui, pea kuo u fakahinohino, ʻi he ʻikai ha ʻotua kehe ʻiate kimoutolu: ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ko ʻeku kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu, Ko au pe ko e ʻOtua.”
13 Yea, since the day was I am He, and there is none that can deliver out of My hand; I will work, and who can reverse it?
ʻIo, ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻae ʻaho ko au ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa fakamoʻui mei hoku nima: te u ngāue, pea ko hai te ne taʻofi au?
14 Thus saith the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their shouting.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko homou huhuʻi, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli; Ko e meʻa ʻiate kimoutolu kuo u fekau ki Papilone, pea kuo ʻomi ki lalo honau houʻeiki, pea mo e kakai Kalitia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi vaka ʻenau tangi.
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
Ko au ko Sihova, ko homou tokotaha māʻoniʻoni, ko e Tupuʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli, ko homou Tuʻi.
16 Thus saith the LORD, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ngaohi ʻae ʻaluʻanga ʻi he moana, pea mo e hala ʻi he ngaahi vai lahi;
17 Who bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power — they lie down together, they shall not rise, they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick:
ʻAia ʻoku ʻomi ʻae saliote mo e hoosi, ʻae kongakau mo e mālohi: te nau tokoto fakataha, ʻe ʻikai te nau tuʻu ki ʻolunga: kuo nau ʻauha, kuo fuʻifuʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e filo ʻoe maama.
18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
“ʻOua naʻa mou manatu ki he ngaahi meʻa muʻa, pe tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa motuʻa.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Vakai, te u fai ha meʻa foʻou; ʻe tupu hake ni ia; pea ʻikai te mou ʻilo ia? ʻIo, te u ngaohi ha hala ʻi he potu lala, mo e ngaahi vaitafe ʻi he toafa.
20 The beasts of the field shall honour Me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, Mine elect;
ʻE fakaʻapaʻapa kiate au ʻae fanga manu ʻoe vao, ʻae talākoni mo e ngaahi lulu: koeʻuhi ʻoku ou foaki ʻae vai ʻi he potu lala, mo e vaitafe ʻi he toafa, ke ʻatu ʻae inu ki hoku kakai kuo u fili.
21 The people which I formed for Myself, that they might tell of My praise.
Kuo u ngaohi ʻae kakai ni maʻaku; te nau fakahā hoku ongoongolelei.
22 Yet thou hast not called upon Me, O Jacob, neither hast thou wearied thyself about Me, O Israel.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te ke ui kiate au, ʻE Sēkope; ka kuo ke fiu ʻiate au, ʻE ʻIsileli.
23 Thou hast not brought Me the small cattle of thy burnt-offerings; neither hast thou honoured Me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with a meal-offering, nor wearied thee with frankincense.
ʻOku teʻeki te ke ʻomi ʻae fanga lami ʻo hoʻo ngaahi feilaulau tutu; pea teʻeki ai te ke fakaʻapaʻapa ʻaki hoʻo ngaahi feilaulau. Naʻe ʻikai te u fekau ke ke tauhi au ʻaki ha meʻa foaki, pe fakaongosia koe ʻi he ʻomi ʻae meʻa namu kakala.
24 Thou hast bought Me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou satisfied Me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast burdened Me with thy sins, thou hast wearied Me with thine iniquities.
ʻOku teʻeki te ke fakatau maʻaku ʻae ʻakau namu kakala ʻaki ha paʻanga, pea ʻoku teʻeki te ke fakamākona au ʻaki ʻae ngako ʻo hoʻo ngaahi feilaulau; ka kuo ke taʻomia au ʻaki hoʻo ngaahi hia, kuo ke fakafiuʻi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fai kovi.
25 I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake; and thy sins I will not remember.
Ko au, ʻio ko au ia, ʻaia ʻoku tāmateʻi hoʻo ngaahi hia koeʻuhi ko au, pea ʻe ʻikai te u manatu hoʻo ngaahi angahala.
26 Put Me in remembrance, let us plead together; declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
Fakamanatuʻi au: ke tau fefakamaauʻaki: fai hoʻo fakamatala, koeʻuhi ke ke tonuhia.
27 Thy first father sinned, and thine intercessors have transgressed against Me.
Kuo fai hala hoʻo ʻuluaki tamai, pea kuo talangataʻa kiate au hoʻo kau akonaki.
28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and I have given Jacob to condemnation, and Israel to reviling.
Pea kuo fakalieliaʻi ʻe ho ngaahi houʻeiki hoku fale tapu, ko ia te u tuku ʻa Sēkope ki he malaʻia, pea ko ʻIsileli ki he valoki.”
