Isaiah 19

1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, YHWH is riding on a swift thick cloud, And He has entered Egypt, And the idols of Egypt have been moved at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melts in its midst.

Ko e tala mamafa ʻoku kau ki ʻIsipite. Vakai, ʻoku heka ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻao ngaholo, ʻo hāʻele ki ʻIsipite: pea ʻe tetetete ʻae ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻIsipite ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻe vaivai ʻae loto ʻo ʻIsipite ʻi loto ʻiate ia.

2 And I armed Egyptians against Egyptians, And they fought, each against his brother, And each against his neighbor, City against city, kingdom against kingdom.

Pea te u fakafehiʻa ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ki he kakai ʻIsipite: pea ʻe tau ʻae tangata taki taha kotoa pē ki hono tokoua, pea taki taha ki hono kaungāʻapi; ʻae kolo ki he kolo, mo e puleʻanga ki he puleʻanga.

3 And the spirit of Egypt has been emptied out in its midst. And I swallow up its counsel, And they have sought to the idols, And to the charmers, And to those having familiar spirits, And to the wizards.

Pea ʻe vaivai ʻae laumālie ʻo ʻIsipite ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ia; pea te u maumauʻi ʻae fakakaukau ʻaʻana: pea te nau kumi ki he ngaahi tamapua, pea ki he kau fiemana, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi laumālie kovi, pea ki he kau kikite.

4 And I have delivered the Egyptians Into the hand of a hard lord, And a strong king rules over them, A declaration of the Lord, YHWH of Hosts.

Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, Te u tuku atu ʻae kakai ʻo ʻIsipite ki he nima ʻo ha ʻeiki ʻoku fakamamahi; pea ʻe puleʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe ha tuʻi ʻoku fai mālohi.

5 And waters have failed from the sea, And a river is desolated and dried up.

Pea ʻe maha ʻae ngaahi vai mei he tahi, pea ʻe fakaʻaʻau ke mōmoa ʻae vaitafe.

6 And they have turned away the flowings, Brooks of the bulwark have been weak and dried up, Reed and flag have withered.

Pea te nau fakanamukūʻi ʻae ngaahi vaitafe; pea ko e ngaahi vai ʻoku mou faʻaki ki ai ʻe fakamaha pea ʻe mōmoa: ʻe mae ʻae ngaahi kaho mo e falaki.

7 Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And every sown thing of the brook, has withered, It has been driven away, and is not.

Ko e ngoue ʻi he veʻe vai, ʻi he ngutu ʻoe ngaahi vai, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻi he veʻe vai, ʻe mae, ʻe mole, pea ʻikai.

8 And the fishers have lamented, And all casting a hook into the brook have mourned, And those spreading dragnets on the face of the waters have languished.

‌ʻE mamahi foki ʻae kau toutai ika, pea ʻe lāunga mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku taumātaʻu ʻi he ngaahi vai, pea ʻe vaivai mo kinautolu ʻoku lafo kupenga ki he ngaahi vai.

9 And makers of fine flax have been ashamed, And weavers of networks.

Pea ko kinautolu foki ʻoku ngaohi ʻae tupenu lelei, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku lalanga ʻae tupenu vavanga, ʻe fakaʻaʻau ke vaivai.

10 And its foundations have been struck, All making wages [are] afflicted in soul.

Pea ʻe maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻokinautolu ʻoku ngaohi ʻae ngaahi matapā mo e anovai ki he ika.

11 Only, the princes of Zoan [are] fools, The counsel of the wise ones of the counselors of Pharaoh has become brutish. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am a son of the wise, a son of kings of antiquity?”

Ko e moʻoni ko e kau vale ʻae houʻeiki ʻo Soani, ko e fakakaukau ʻoe kau poto ʻo Felo kuo hoko ia ko e fakakaukau vale: ko e hā ʻoku mou pehē ai kia Felo, Ko au ko e foha ʻoe poto, ko e hako ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻi muʻa?

12 Where [are] they now, your wise ones? Indeed, let them now tell [it] to you, And they know what YHWH of Hosts has counseled against Egypt!

‌ʻOku ʻi fē ʻakinautolu? ʻOku ʻi fē hoʻo kau tangata poto? Tuku ke nau fakahā atu ni kiate koe, pea tuku ke nau ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻae finangalo ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ki ʻIsipite,

13 Princes of Zoan have been foolish, Princes of Noph have been lifted up, And they have caused Egypt to err, The chief of her tribes.

Kuo hoko ʻo vale ʻae houʻeiki ʻo Soani, kuo kākaaʻi ʻae houʻeiki ʻo Nofi; pea kuo nau fakahala ʻa ʻIsipite ʻae mālohiʻanga ʻo hono ngaahi faʻahinga.

14 YHWH has mingled in her midst A spirit of perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all its work, As a drunkard errs in his vomit.

Kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ki honau lotolotonga ha laumālie talangataʻa: pea kuo nau fakahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsipite ʻi heʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e tasipa ʻae tangata konā ʻi heʻene lua.

15 And there is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch or reed, may do.

Pea ʻe ʻikai ha ngāue ki ʻIsipite, ʻe faʻa fai ʻe he ʻulu pe ko e iku, ʻe he vaʻa pe ko e tefito.

16 In that day Egypt is like women, And it has mourned, and been afraid, Because of the waving of the hand of YHWH of Hosts, That He is waving over it.

‌ʻE tatau ʻa ʻIsipite ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mo e kau fefine: pea ʻe tetetete mo manavahē ia koeʻuhi ko e lulululu ʻoe nima ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻaia te ne lulululu kiate kinautolu.

17 And the land of Judah has been to Egypt for a cause of staggering, Everyone who mentions it, fears for himself, Because of the counsel of YHWH of Hosts, That He is counseling against it.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻae fonua ko Siuta ko e ilifiaʻanga ki ʻIsipite, pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku lea ki ai ʻe tetetete, koeʻuhi ko e tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻaia kuo ne fakakaukau ki ai.

18 In that day there are five cities in the land of Egypt, Speaking the lip of Canaan, And swearing to YHWH of Hosts, “The city of destruction,” is said of one.

ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe lea ʻaki ʻae lea fakaKēnani ʻe he kolo ʻe nima ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea te nau fuakava kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; pea ʻe ui ʻae kolo ʻe taha, “Ko e kolo ʻoe fakaʻauha.”

19 In that day there is an altar to YHWH In the midst of the land of Egypt, And a standing pillar to YHWH near its border,

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe ʻai ʻae feilaulauʻanga kia Sihova ʻi he loto fonua ʻo ʻIsipite, pea mo ha pou kia Sihova ʻi hono ngataʻanga.

20 And it has been for a sign and for a testimony, To YHWH of Hosts in the land of Egypt, For they cry to YHWH from the face of oppressors, And He sends a Savior to them, Even a great one, and has delivered them.

Pea ʻe hoko ia ko e fakaʻilonga pea ko e fakamoʻoni kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite: he te nau tangi kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko e kau fakamālohi, pea te ne fekau kiate kinautolu ha fakamoʻui, ko e tokotaha ʻoku lahi, pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.

21 And YHWH has been known to Egypt, And the Egyptians have known YHWH in that day, And done sacrifice and present, And vowed a vow to YHWH, and completed [it].

Pea ʻe ʻiloʻi ʻa Sihova ʻe ʻIsipite, pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, pea te nau fai ʻae feilaulau mo e foaki; ʻio, te nau fuakava ʻaki ha fuakava kia Sihova, pea fai ki ai.

22 And YHWH has struck Egypt, striking and healing, And they have turned back to YHWH, And He has accepted their plea, And has healed them.

Pea ʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsipite: te ne taaʻi pea fakamoʻui: pea te nau toe tafoki kia Sihova, pea te ne tali ʻa ʻenau hū, pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.

23 In that day a highway is out of Egypt to Asshur, And the Assyrians have come into Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur, And the Egyptians have served with the Assyrians.

ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe ai ha hala motuʻa mei ʻIsipite ki ʻAsilia, pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kau ʻAsilia ki ʻIsipite, pea ʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ki ʻAsilia, pea ʻe fai fakataha ʻae kakai ʻIsipite mo e kakai ʻAsilia.

24 In that day Israel is third, With Egypt, and with Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe lau ko hono toko tolu ʻa ʻIsileli fakataha mo ʻIsipite mo ʻAsilia, ʻio, ko e tāpuaki ʻi he loto fonua:

25 In that YHWH of Hosts blessed it, saying, “Blessed [is] My people—Egypt, And the work of My hands—Asshur, And My inheritance—Israel!”

‌ʻAia ʻe tāpuaki ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke monūʻia ʻa ʻIsipite ko hoku kakai, pea mo ʻAsilia ko e ngāue ʻa hoku nima, pea mo ʻIsileli ko hoku tofiʻa.’”
