Isaiah 54
1 Sing, O barren, you that did not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you that did not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, says the LORD.
“Hiva, ʻae paʻa, ʻa koe naʻe ʻikai te ke fānau; ke ke hiva, pea kalanga leʻo lahi, ʻa koe naʻe ʻikai te ke langā ʻi ha tamasiʻi:” he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku tokolahi hake ʻae fānau ʻae liʻaki ʻi he fānau ʻoe fefine kuo mali.
2 Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations: spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes;
Fakalahi ʻae potu ʻo ho fale fehikitaki, pea tuku ke nau fofola ʻae puipui ʻo ho ngaahi nofoʻanga: ʻoua ʻe taʻofi, fakalōloa hoʻo ngaahi afo, pea tutuki ke maʻu hoʻo ngaahi tuki poupou;
3 For you shall break forth on the right hand and on the left; and your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
He te ke ʻalu atu ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pea ki he toʻohema; pea ʻe maʻu ʻa ho hako ʻae ngaahi Senitaile, pea ʻe fakakakai ʻae ngaahi kolo naʻe lala.
4 Fear not; for you shall not be ashamed: neither be you confounded; for you shall not be put to shame: for you shall forget the shame of your youth, and shall not remember the reproach of your widowhood any more.
“ʻOua ʻe manavahē; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke mā: pea ʻoua naʻa ke puputuʻu koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai fakamaaʻi koe: he te ke fakangaloʻi ʻae mā ʻo hoʻo kei talavou, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke toe manatu ki he valoki ʻo hoʻo nofo taka pe ʻi he mate ho husepāniti.
5 For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
He ko ho Tupuʻanga kuo fakamaau mo koe; ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ko hono huafa ia; pea ko ho Huhuʻi ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻe ui ia ko e ʻOtua ʻo māmani kotoa pē.
6 For the LORD has called you as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when you were refused, says your God.
He kuo ui koe ʻe Sihova ʻo hangē ko e fefine liʻaki pea mamahi ʻi hono laumālie, pea hangē ko e uaifi ʻi heʻene kei siʻi, ka kuo liʻaki,” ʻoku pehē ʻe ho ʻOtua.
7 For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies will I gather you.
“ʻI he kihiʻi fuoloa siʻi kuo u liʻaki koe; ka ʻi he ngaahi ʻaloʻofa lahi te u tānaki koe.
8 In a little wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on you, says the LORD your Redeemer.
ʻI he houhau siʻi naʻaku fufū hoku fofonga meiate koe ʻi he kemo pe; ka ʻi he ʻofa taʻengata te u ʻaloʻofa kiate koe, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko ho Huhuʻi.
9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
“He ʻoku tatau ʻae meʻa ni kiate au mo e ngaahi vai ʻo Noa: ʻo hangē kuo u fuakava ʻe ʻikai toe lōmaki ʻa māmani ʻaki ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo Noa; ʻoku pehē ʻeku fuakava ʻe ʻikai te u houhau kiate koe, pe valokiʻi koe.
10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, says the LORD that has mercy on you.
Koeʻuhi ʻe mole ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea hiki mo e ngaahi tafungofunga; ka ko ʻeku ʻofa ʻe ʻikai mole meiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai hiki ʻae fuakava ʻo ʻeku melino, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ʻaloʻofa kiate koe.
11 O you afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with fair colours, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
“ʻA koe koe mamahi, pea vilingia ʻi he matangi, pea taʻefiemālie, vakai, te u ʻai hoʻo ngaahi maka ʻi he lanu lelei, pea ʻai hoʻo ngaahi tuʻunga ʻaki ʻae ngaahi safaia.
12 And I will make your windows of agates, and your gates of carbuncles, and all your borders of pleasant stones.
Pea te u ngaohi ho ngaahi matapā sioʻata ʻaki ʻae ʻakete, pea mo ho ngaahi matapā ʻaki ʻae kapunikale, pea mo ho ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga.
13 And all your children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of your children.
Pea ʻe akonakiʻi ʻe Sihova hoʻo fānau kotoa pē; pea ʻe lahi ʻae fiemālie ʻi hoʻo fānau.
14 In righteousness shall you be established: you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near you.
ʻE fokotuʻumaʻu koe ʻi he māʻoniʻoni: te ke mamaʻo mo e fakamālohia; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke manavahē: pea mei he ilifia; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai haʻu ia ʻo ofi kiate koe.
15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against you shall fall for your sake.
Vakai, ko e moʻoni te nau tānaki fakataha, ka e ʻikai ʻiate au: ko ia kotoa pē ʻe fakataha ko e fili kiate koe ʻe hinga koeʻuhi ko koe.
16 Behold, I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.
“Vakai, kuo u fakatupu ʻae tufunga ukamea ʻaia ʻoku tapili ʻae malala ʻi he afi, pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻae meʻa fakatufunga ki heʻene ngāue; pea kuo u fakatupu ʻae fakaʻauha ke fakaʻauhaʻi.
17 No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, says the LORD.
ʻE ʻikai monūʻia ha mahafutau kuo ngaohi ke tauʻi koe; pea ko e ʻelelo kotoa pē ʻe lea kovi kiate koe te ke fakamalaʻia ʻi he fakamaau. Ko eni ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku meiate au ʻenau māʻoniʻoni,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
