Esias 5

1 Now I will sing to [my] beloved a song of my beloved concerning my vineyard. [My] beloved had a vineyard on a high hill in a fertile place.

“Ko eni te u hiva ki hoku ʻofaʻanga ʻaki ʻae hiva, ʻo ia ʻoku ou mamana ki ai, ʻoku kau ki heʻene ngoue vaine. ʻOku maʻu ʻe hoku ʻofaʻanga ʻae ngoue vaine ʻi he moʻunga kelekele moʻui:

2 And I made a hedge round it, and dug a trench, and planted a choice vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and dug a place for the wine-vat in it: and I waited [for it] to bring forth grapes, and it brought forth thorns.

Pea naʻa ne ʻāʻi ia, mo fetuku mei ai ʻae ngaahi maka, pea ne tō ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi vaine lelei lahi, mo ne langa ʻae fale leʻo ki ai, pea naʻe ngaohi foki ʻi ai ʻae tataʻoʻanga uaine: pea ne ʻamanaki ʻe tupu ai ʻae ngaahi kālepi, ka naʻe tupu ai ʻae kālepi vao pe.

3 And now, you dwellers in Jerusalem, and [every] man of Juda, judge between me and my vineyard.

“Pea ko eni ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema, mo e kau tangata ʻo Siuta, ʻoku ou kōlenga ke mou fakamaau kiate au mo ʻeku ngoue vaine.

4 What shall I do any more to my vineyard, that I have not done to it? Whereas I expected [it] to bring forth grapes, but it has brought forth thorns.

Ko e hā mo ha meʻa ʻe faʻa fai ki heʻeku ngoue vaine, ʻoku teʻeki te u fai ki ai? Ko e hā kuo u ʻamanaki ki he tupu ai ʻae ngaahi kālepi, ka kuo tupu pe ʻae fua kona?

5 And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be for a spoil; and I will pull down its walls, and it shall be [left] to be trodden down.

Pea ko eni; te u fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻaia te u fai ki heʻeku ngoue vaine: te u toʻo mei ai ʻā hono ʻā, pea ʻe keina ia ʻo ʻosi; pea ʻe holoki ʻā hono maka, pea ʻe malaki hifo ia:

6 And I will forsake my vineyard; and it shall not be pruned, nor dug, and thorns shall come up upon it as on barren land; and I will command the clouds to rain no rain upon it.

Pea te u liʻaki ia: ʻe ʻikai ʻauhani ia, pe keli; ka e tupu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau talatala: pea te u fekau foki ki he ngaahi ʻao ke ʻoua naʻa ʻuha ki ai.

7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Juda [his] beloved plant: I expected [it] to bring forth judgment, and it brought forth iniquity; and not righteousness, but a cry.

He ko e ngoue vaine ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e fale ʻo ʻIsileli ia, pea ko e kau tangata ʻo Siuta, ko ʻene ʻakau toulekeleka: pea naʻa ne ʻamanaki ki he fakamaau, kae vakai ko e fakamālohi; ki he māʻoniʻoni, kae vakai ko e tangi.”

8 Woe [to them] that join house to house, and add field to field, that they may take away something of their neighbor's: will you dwell alone upon the land?

‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakahoko ʻae fale ki he fale, ʻonau ai ʻae ʻapi ki he ʻapi, ke ʻoua naʻa toe ha potu, koeʻuhi ke māʻolunga taha pe ʻakinautolu ʻi he fonua!

9 For these things have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts: for though many houses should be built, many and fair houses shall be desolate, and there shall be no inhabitants in them.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ki hoku telinga, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe lahi ʻae fale ʻe lala, ʻio, ʻe ʻikai kakai ʻae ngaahi fale lahi mo lelei.

10 For where ten yoke of oxen plow [the land] shall yield one, and he that sows six homers shall produce three measures.

He ko e ngoue vaine, ko e ʻeka ʻe hongofulu hono lahi, ʻe maʻu mei ai ʻae pate pe taha, pea ko e homa ʻe taha ʻoe tenga, ʻe utu mei ai ha efa pe taha.”

11 Woe [to them] that rise up in the morning, and follow strong drink; who wait [at it till] evening: for the wine shall inflame them.

‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku tuʻu hengihengi hake, ke kumi ki he kava mālohi; pea nofo ʻo aʻu ki he pō, kaeʻoua ke nau kona ʻi he uaine!

12 For they drink wine with harp, and lute, and drums, and pipes: but they regard not the works of the Lord, and consider not the works of his hands.

Pea ʻoku ʻi heʻenau ngaahi kātoanga ʻae haʻape, mo e vaiole, mo e lali, mo e mimiha, mo e uaine: ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau tokanga ki he ngāue ʻa Sihova, pe vakai ki he ngāue ʻa hono nima.

13 Therefore my people have been taken captive, because they know not the Lord: and there has been a multitude of dead [bodies], because of hunger and of thirst for water.

Ko ia kuo ʻave pōpula ai ʻa hoku kakai, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ʻilo: pea kuo fiekaia honau kau tangata ongoongo, pea mo honau tokolahi ʻoku mate fieinu.

14 Therefore hell has enlarged its desire and opened its mouth without ceasing: and her glorious and great, and her rich and her pestilent men shall go down [into it]. (Sheol h7585)

Ko ia kuo fakalahi ai ʻa heli ʻe ia, mo fakamanga lahi ʻaupito hono ngutu: pea ʻe ʻalu hifo ki ai honau mālohi, mo honau tokolahi, mo ʻenau laukau, mo ia ʻoku fiefia. (Sheol h7585)

15 And the mean man shall be brought low, and the great man shall be disgraced, and the lofty eyes shall be brought low.

Pea ʻe fakahifo ki lalo ʻae lāuvale, pea ʻe fakavaivaiʻi mo e tangata mālohi, pea ʻe hifo ki lalo ʻae mata ʻoe fielahi:

16 But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and the holy God shall be glorified in righteousness.

Ka e hiki hake ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻi he fakamaau, pea ʻe fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻae ʻOtua māʻoniʻoni ʻi he angatonu.

17 And they that were spoiled shall be fed as bulls, and lambs shall feed on the waste places of them that are taken away.

Pea ʻe toki kai ʻae fanga lami ʻo hangē ko ʻenau anga, pea ʻe kai ʻe he muli ʻae ngaahi potu lala ʻoe kakai koloaʻia.

18 Woe [to them] that draw sins to them as with a long rope, and iniquities as with a thong of the heifer's yoke:

‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fusi ʻae angahala ʻaki ʻae afo ʻoe vaʻinga, pea fai hala ʻo hangē ko e maea mālohi:

19 who say, Let him speedily hasten what he will do, that we may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know [it].

‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku pehē, “Tuku ke ne fai vave, pea fakatoʻotoʻo ʻene ngāue, ke tau mamata ki ai: pea tuku ke ʻunuʻunu mai pea haʻu ʻae tuʻutuʻuni ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke tau ʻilo ki ai!”

20 Woe [to them] that call evil good, and good evil; who make darkness light, and light darkness; who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter.

‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku ui ʻae kovi ko e lelei, mo e lelei ko e kovi; ʻoku ui ʻae poʻuli ko e maama, mo e maama ko e poʻuli; ʻoku ui ʻae kona ko e melie, mo e melie ko e kona!

21 Woe [to them] that are wise in their own conceit, and knowing in their own sight.

‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku poto ʻi honau mata ʻonautolu, mo kinautolu ʻoku pehē ʻoku nau fai fakapotopoto!

22 Woe to the strong [ones] of you that drink wine, and the mighty [ones] that mingle strong drink:

‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku mālohi ke inu uaine, mo e kau tangata mālohi ke felingiʻaki ʻae kava mālohi:

23 who justify the ungodly for rewards, and take away the righteousness of the righteous.

‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae angahala koeʻuhi ko e totongi, ʻonau toʻo ʻae meʻa totonu ʻae māʻoniʻoni meiate ia!

24 Therefore as stubble shall be burnt by a coal of fire, and shall be consumed by a violent flame, their root shall be as chaff, and their flower shall go up as dust: for they rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, and insulted the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Ko ia, hangē ʻoku keina ʻe he afi ʻae veve, pea fakaʻauha ʻe he ulo afi ʻae louveve, ʻe popo pehē honau aka, pea ʻe puna hake honau fisi ʻo hangē ko e efu: koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki ʻae fono ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, pea kuo nau fehiʻa ki he folofola ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.

25 Therefore the Lord of hosts was greatly angered against his people, and he reached forth his hand upon them, and struck them: and the mountains were troubled, and their carcasses were as dung in the midst of the way: yet for all this his anger has not been turned away, but his hand is yet raised.

Ko ia kuo tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki hono kakai, pea kuo ne mafao hono nima kiate kinautolu, pea kuo ne taaʻi ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe tetetete ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea naʻe haehae honau ʻangaʻanga ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe kolo. Pea neongo ʻa eni kotoa pē ʻoku teʻeki ai ke taʻofi hono houhau, ka ʻoku kei mafao hono nima.

26 Therefore shall he lift up a signal to the nations that are afar, and shall hiss for them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they are coming very quickly.

Pea te ne hiki hake ʻae fuka ki he ngaahi puleʻanga mei he mamaʻo, pea te ne seseʻe ʻakinautolu mei he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani: pea vakai te nau haʻu vave mo fakatoʻotoʻo:

27 They shall not hunger nor be weary, neither shall they slumber nor sleep; neither shall they loose their girdles from their loins, neither shall their shoe-latchets be broken.

‌ʻE ʻikai vaivai pe humu ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe tulemohe pe mohe pea ʻe ʻikai vete ʻae noʻo ʻi honau konga loto, pe motu ʻae nonoʻo ʻo honau topuvaʻe:

28 Whose arrows are sharp, and their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are counted as solid rock: their chariot-wheels are as a storm.

‌ʻOku māsila ʻenau ngaahi ngahau, pea kuo teke ʻenau kaufana kotoa pē; ʻe fakatatau ki he maka afi ʻae pesipesi ʻo ʻenau fanga hoosi, pea ko ʻenau ngaahi saliote ʻe hangē ko e ʻahiohio:

29 They rage as lions, and draw near as a lion's whelps: and he shall seize, and roar as a wild beast, and he shall cast [them] forth, and there shall be none to deliver them.

Te nau ngungulu ʻo hangē ko e laione, te nau ngungulu ʻo hangē ko e fanga laione mui, ʻio, te nau ngungulu, pea puke ʻae meʻakai, pea te nau vete ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne taʻofi.

30 And he shall roar on account of them in that day, as the sound of the swelling sea; and they shall look to the land, and, behold, [there shall be] thick darkness in their perplexity.

Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te nau tangi kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ʻuʻulu ʻoe tahi: pea kapau ʻoku sio ha tokotaha ki he fonua, vakai ko e fakapoʻuli mo e mamahi, pea kuo fakapoʻuli ʻae maama ʻi he langi.
