< Esias 25 >
1 O Lord God, I will glorify you, I will sing to your name; for you have done wonderful things, [even] an ancient [and] faithful counsel. So be it.
ʻE Sihova, ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua; te u fakahikihikiʻi koe, te u fakamālō ki ho huafa; he kuo ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo; ko hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻi muʻa ko e angatonu mo e moʻoni.
2 For you have made cities a heap, [even] cities [made] strong that their foundations should not fall: the city of ungodly men shall not be built for ever.
He kuo ke liliu ʻae kolo ko e fokotuʻunga ʻotoʻota; ʻae kolo naʻe ai hono ʻā ko e tuʻunga fale kuo maumau: ʻae nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe kakai muli ke lala: ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito toe langa ia.
3 Therefore shall the poor people bless you, and cities of injured men shall bless you.
Ko ia ʻe fakaongoongoleleiʻi koe ʻe he kakai mālohi, ʻe manavahē kiate koe ʻae kolo ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga fakailifia.
4 For you have been a helper to every lowly city, and a shelter to them that were disheartened by reason of poverty: you shall deliver them from wicked men: [you have been] a shelter of them that thirst, and a refreshing air to injured men.
He naʻa ke hoko ko e tokoni ki he kakai paea, ko e mālohi ki he masiva ʻi heʻene mamahi, ko e hūfanga mei he afā, ko e malumalu mei he pupuha ʻoka tatau ʻae tuʻoni matangi ʻoe kakai fakailifia mo e afā ʻoku faʻaki ki he ʻā maka.
5 [We were] as faint-hearted men thirsting in Sion, by reason of ungodly men to whom you did deliver us.
Te ke ʻohifo ki lalo ʻae longoaʻa ʻoe kakai muli, ʻo hangē ko e laʻā ʻi he potu mōmoa; ʻio, ke pupuha ʻi he malu ʻo ha ʻao; ʻe fakavaivaiʻi ʻae vaʻa ʻoe kakai fakamanavahē.
6 And the Lord of hosts shall make [a feast] for all the nations: on this mount they shall drink gladness, they shall drink wine:
Pea ʻe teuteu ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻi he moʻunga ni ʻae kātoanga ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei ki he kakai kotoa pē, ko e kātoanga ʻoe uaine motuʻa, ʻoe ngaahi meʻa momona ʻoku fonu ʻi he ngako ʻoe hui, mo e uaine motuʻa kuo maʻa ʻaupito.
7 they shall anoint themselves with ointment in this mountain. Impart you all these things to the nations; for this is [God's] counsel upon all the nations.
Pea te ne maumauʻi ʻi he moʻunga ni ʻae ʻufiʻufi ʻoku fakapulou ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, pea mo e pūlou kuo fofola ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
8 Death has prevailed and swallowed [men] up; but again the Lord God has taken away every tear from every face. He has taken away the reproach of [his] people from all the earth: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
Te ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻae mate ʻi he mālohi; pea ʻe holoholo ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻae ngaahi loʻimata mei he mata kotoa pē; pea ko e valoki ʻo hono kakai te ne toʻo mei he fonua kotoa pē: he kuo folofola pehē ʻa Sihova.
9 And in that day they shall say, behold our God in whom we have trusted, and he shall save us: this [is] the Lord; we have waited for him, and we have exulted, and will rejoice in our salvation.
Pea ʻe fai ʻae lea ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, “Vakai, ko hotau ʻOtua eni; naʻa tau tatali kiate ia, pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu: ko eni ʻa Sihova; naʻa tau tatali kiate ia, pea te tau fiefia mo nekeneka ʻi heʻene fakamoʻui.”
10 God will give rest on this mountain, and the country of Moab shall be trodden down, as they tread the floor with waggons.
Koeʻuhi ʻe nofomaʻu ʻae nima ʻo Sihova ʻi he moʻunga ni, pea ʻe molomoloki hifo ʻiate ia ʻa Moape, ʻio, ʻo hangē ʻoku molomoloki ʻae mohuku mōmoa ʻi he tuʻunga ʻotoʻota.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands, even as he also brings down [man] to destroy [him]: and he shall bring low his pride [in regard to the thing] on which he has laid his hands.
Pea te ne mafao atu hono nima ki he lotolotonga ʻokinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e mafao ʻae nima ʻo ha taha ʻoku kakau: pea te ne ʻohifo ʻene laukau fakataha mo e ngaahi filioʻi ʻo hono nima.
12 And he shall bring down the height of the refuge of the wall, and it shall come down even to the ground.
Pea ko e fale māʻolunga ʻoe puke ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ʻā maka te ne ʻohifo, ʻo fakatoka lafalafa ki lalo, pea ʻomi ki he kelekele, ʻio, ki he efu.
