< Isaiah 22 >
1 The doom of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the roofs?
Ko e tala mamafa ʻoku kau ki he teleʻa ʻoe meʻa hā mai. Ko e hā kuo hoko kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu ai hoʻo kakai kotoa pē ki he ngaahi tuʻa fale?
2 O noiseful, tumultuous city, joyous town? thy slain ones are not slain with the sword, and not those that die in battle.
ʻA koe ʻoku ke fonu ʻi he longoaʻa, ko e kolo maveuveu, ko e kolo ʻoe fakavā: ko hoʻo kakai kuo mate naʻe ʻikai mate ʻi he heletā, pe mate ʻi he tau.
3 All thy rulers are fled together, they are made prisoners by the bowmen: all that are found in thee are made prisoners together, who have run away from afar.
Kuo hola fakataha hoʻo kau pule kotoa pē, kuo haʻisia ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau tangata fana: ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻilo ʻiate koe kuo haʻi fakataha, ʻakinautolu kuo hola mei he mamaʻo.
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly; be not urgent to comfort me, because of the wasting of the daughter of my people.
Ko ia naʻaku pehē, sio kehe meiate au; te u tangi mamahi, ʻoua naʻa ʻahiʻahi ke fakafiemālieʻi au, koeʻuhi ko e maumau ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai.
5 For a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity hath the Lord Eternal of hosts in the valley of vision; walls are broken, and crying is heard against the mountain.
He ko e ʻaho ʻoe mamahi ia, mo e malaki hifo, pea mo e faingataʻa, koeʻuhi ko e ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe meʻa hā mai, ʻi he maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻā maka, pea mo e tangi ki he ngaahi moʻunga.
6 And 'Elam beareth the quiver, [cometh] with men in chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovereth the shield.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ʻIlami ʻae hōfangahau mo e ngaahi saliote ʻae tangata mo e tangata heka hoosi, pea toʻo ʻe Kili ʻae kofu ʻoe fakaū.
7 And it is so, that thy choicest valleys are full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array against the gate.
Pea ʻe pehē, ʻe fonu ho ngaahi teleʻa lelei ʻi he ngaahi saliote, pea ʻe fakatē ʻae kautau heka hoosi ʻi he matapā.
8 And he laid open the covering of Judah; and thou didst look on that day toward the armor of the house of the forest.
Pea ʻe tatala ʻae meʻa ʻufiʻufi ʻo Siuta, pea te ke vakai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ki he mahafutau ʻi he fale ʻoe vao lahi.
9 And the breaches of the city of David have ye seen, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
Pea te mou mamata ki he ngaahi ava ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, koeʻuhi ʻoku lahi ia: pea te mou tānaki fakataha ʻae ngaahi vai ki he luo vai ki lalo.
10 And the houses of Jerusalem have ye numbered, and ye have pulled down the houses to fortify the wall.
Pea kuo mou lau ʻae ngaahi fale ʻo Selūsalema, pea kuo mou veteki ʻae ngaahi fale ke fakamālohi ʻaki ʻae ʻā maka.
11 And a tank have ye made between the two walls for the water of the old pool; but ye have not looked at the Maker thereof, him that fashioned it in distant times have ye not regarded.
Pea te mou ngaohi ʻae keli ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo ʻā maka ki he vai ʻoe luo vai motuʻa: ka ʻoku teʻeki te mou vakai kiate ia ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ia, pe fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia ʻaia naʻe fakatupu ia ʻi muʻa ʻaupito.
12 And the Lord Eternal of hosts called on that day for weeping, and for mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.
Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ui ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ke tangi, pea ke tangilāulau, pea ke fafai ʻae ʻulu, pea ke vala ʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa.
13 And behold [there are] gladness and joy, slaying of oxen, and killing of sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: “Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we must die.”
Pea vakai naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fiemālie mo e fiefia, ko e tāmateʻi ʻoe fanga pulu, mo e tāmateʻi ʻoe fanga sipi, mo e kai ʻae kakano, mo e inu uaine: ke tau kai mo inu; he ko e ʻapongipongi te tau mate.
14 And it was revealed in my ears by the Lord of hosts: Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven unto you until ye die, said the Lord the Eternal of hosts.
Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ki hoku telinga, Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te mou maʻa ʻi he hia ni kaeʻoua ke mou mate, ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
15 Thus hath said the Lord, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, who is [superintendent] over the house;
ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻAlu, ke ke hoko ki he tangata tauhi koloa ni, ʻio, kia Sepina, ʻaia ʻoku pule ki he fale, pea ke pehē,
16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewn out for thyself here a sepulchre, [the man] that hath hewn out on high his sepulchre, that holloweth out in the rock a habitation for himself?
Ko e hā ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi heni? Pea ko hai ʻoku ke maʻu ʻi heni? Koeʻuhi kuo ke tā moʻou ʻi heni ha fonualoto, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku tā moʻona ha fonualoto ʻi he māʻolunga, pea ʻoku tongi ha nofoʻanga moʻona ʻi he maka?
17 Behold, the Lord will thrust thee about with a mighty throw, O man! and will lay fast hold of thee;
Vakai, ʻe ʻave koe ʻe Sihova ʻi he fakapōpula fakamanavahē, pea ko e moʻoni te ne taʻomia koe.
18 He will roll thee up as a bundle, and [toss thee] like a ball into a country of ample space: there shalt thou die, and there shall [remain] the chariots of thy glory, thou disgrace of the house of thy lord.
Ko e moʻoni te ne foki mai pea lī mālohi koe ʻo hangē ko ha meʻa fuopotopoto ki ha fonua lahi: pea te ke mate ai, pea ʻe hoko ʻi ai ʻa hoʻo ngaahi saliote lelei ko e fakamā ʻoe fale ʻo hoʻo ʻeiki.
19 And I will cast thee out from thy station, and from thy post shall he pull thee down.
Pea te u kapusi koe mei hoʻo potu, pea te ne toho hifo koe mei ho puleʻanga.”
20 And it shall come to pass on that day, that I will call my servant, for Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u ui ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Iliakimi ko e foha ʻo Hesekaia:
21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and thy girdle will I fasten around him, and thy government will I place into his hand: and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
Pea te u fakakofuʻaki ia ʻa ho kofu tōtōlofa, pea te u fakamālohi ʻaki ia ho noʻo, pea te u tuku hoʻo pule ki hono nima: pea te ne hoko ko e tamai ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema, pea ki he fale ʻo Siuta.
22 And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; so that he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Pea ko e ki ʻoe fale ʻo Tevita te u ai ki hono uma; ko ia te ne toʻo, pea ʻe ʻikai tāpuni ʻe ha taha; pea te ne tāpuni, pea ʻe ʻikai toʻo ʻe ha taha.
23 And I will fasten him as a tent-nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a chair of honor to his father's house.
Pea te u fakamaʻu ia ʻo hangē ha faʻo ʻi ha potu ʻoku maʻu; pea te ne hoko ko e nofoʻanga lelei lahi ki he fale ʻo ʻene tamai.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the shoots and offshoots, all the small vessels, from the vessels of basins, even to all the vessels of flagons.
Pea te nau tautau ʻiate ia ʻae lelei kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo ʻene tamai, ko e hako mo e fānau, ʻae ngaahi ipu siʻi kotoa pē, mei he kihiʻi ipu inu, ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ipu kehe kotoa pē.
25 On that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall be removed the nail that is fastened in the sure place, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that is upon it shall be cut off; for the Lord hath spoken it.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe toʻo ʻae faʻo naʻe fakamaʻu ki he potu maʻu, pea ʻe tuʻusi ki lalo, pea homo ia; pea ko e kavenga naʻe ʻi ai ʻe tuʻusi ke motu; he kuo folofola pehē ʻa Sihova.
