< Isaiah 33 >

1 Woe, spoiler! And you not spoiled, And treacherous! And they did not deal treacherously with you, When you finish, O spoiler, you are spoiled, When you finish dealing treacherously, They deal treacherously with you.
Ke malaʻia ʻa koe ʻoku ke fakamālohi, ka naʻe ʻikai fakamālohiʻi koe; ʻa koe ʻoku fai kākā, ka naʻe ʻikai ke kākaaʻi koe! ʻOka ke ka tuku hoʻo fakamālohi, ʻe toki fakamālohiʻi koe; pea ka ʻosi hoʻo fai kākā, ʻe toki kākaaʻi koe.
2 O YHWH, favor us, We have waited for You, Be their arm, in the mornings, Indeed, our salvation in time of adversity.
‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke ʻaloʻofa kiate kimautolu; kuo mau tatali kiate koe: ke ke hoko ko homau mālohi ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, ʻio, ko homau fakamoʻui ʻi he kuonga ʻoe mamahi.
3 From the voice of a multitude peoples have fled, From Your exaltation nations have been scattered.
‌ʻI he longoaʻa ʻoe tokolahi naʻe hola ʻae kakai; ʻi hoʻo tuʻu hake ʻaʻau, naʻe veteki ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga.
4 And Your spoil has been gathered, A gathering of the caterpillar, As a running to and fro of locusts He is running on it.
Ka e tānaki hoʻomou koloa ʻoe vete ʻo hangē ko e tānaki ʻe he ʻunufe: ʻo hangē ko e fehōpoaki ʻoe ngaahi heʻe te ne lele kiate kinautolu.
5 YHWH is set on high, for He is dwelling on high, He filled Zion [with] judgment and righteousness,
Kuo hiki hake ʻa Sihova; he kuo ʻafio ia ʻi ʻolunga: kuo ne fakafonu ʻa Saione ʻaki ʻae fakamaau mo e angatonu.
6 And has been the steadfastness of your times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of YHWH—it [is] His treasure.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻae poto mo e ʻilo ko e mālohi ʻo ho kuonga, mo e mālohi ʻoe fakamoʻui: ko e manavahē kia Sihova ko ʻene koloa ia.
7 Behold, “Their Ariel,” they have cried outside, Messengers of peace weep bitterly.
Vakai, ko ʻenau kau toʻa, ʻe tangi ʻituʻa: ʻe tangi mamahi ʻae kau faifekau ʻoe melino.
8 Highways have been desolated, He who passes along the path has ceased, He has broken covenant, He has despised enemies, He has not esteemed a man.
Kuo vaoa ʻae ngaahi hala motuʻa, kuo ʻikai ha tangata fononga: kuo ne maumauʻi ʻae fuakava, kuo ne fehiʻa ki he ngaahi kolo, ʻoku ʻikai te ne manavahē ki ha tangata ʻe taha.
9 The land has mourned, languished, Lebanon has been confounded, Sharon has been withered as a wilderness, And Bashan and Carmel are shaking.
‌ʻOku mamahi ʻae fonua pea vaivai: kuo mā ʻa Lepanoni, kuo tā hifo ia: ʻoku tatau mo e potu vao ʻa Saloni; pea ʻoku fakangangana ʻae ngaahi fua ʻo Pesani mo Kameli.
10 Now I arise, says YHWH, Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “te u tuʻu hake ni: te u hiki hake ni au ki ʻolunga, pea ʻe hakeakiʻi ni au.
11 You conceive chaff, you bear stubble; Your spirit—a fire [that] devours you.
Te mou tuituʻia ko e kafukafu, te mou fanauʻi ko e veve: ko hoʻomou mānava, ʻo hangē ko e afi, te ne fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu.
12 And peoples have been [as] burnings of lime, Thorns, as sweepings, they burn with fire.
Pea ʻe tutu ʻae kakai ʻo hangē ko e vela ʻoe lahe: ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau talatala kuo tutuʻu ke vela ʻi he afi.
13 Hear, you far off, that which I have done, And know, you near ones, My might.
Fanongo, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mamaʻo, ki he meʻa kuo u fai; pea ʻilo mo kimoutolu ʻoku ofi, ki hoku mālohi.”
14 Sinners have been afraid in Zion, Trembling has seized the profane: Who dwells for us—consuming fire, Who dwells for us—burnings of the age?
‌ʻOku manavahē ʻae kau angahala ʻi Saione; kuo pukea ʻi he ilifia ʻae kau mālualoi. “Ko hai ʻiate kitautolu ʻe nofo ʻi he afi fakaʻauha? Ko hai ʻiate kitautolu ʻe nofo ʻi he vela taʻengata?”
15 Whoever is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly, Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood, And shutting his eyes from looking on evil,
Ko ia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, mo lea totonu; ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ki he koloa ʻoe fakamālohi, ʻoku tupeʻi hono nima mei he puke ʻae koloa ʻoku maʻu taʻetotonu, ʻoku tāpuni hono telinga mei he fanongo ki he toto, pea fakamohe hono mata ke ʻoua naʻa mamata ki he kovi;
16 He inhabits high places, Strongholds of rock [are] his high tower, His bread has been given, his waters steadfast.
‌ʻE nofo ia ʻi he māʻolunga: ko hono potu ungaʻanga ko e ngaahi kolo maka māʻolunga: ʻe foaki kiate ia ʻae mā; pea te ne maʻu moʻoni ʻe ia ʻene vai.
17 Your eyes see a king in his beauty, They see a far-off land.
‌ʻE mamata ho mata ki he tuli ʻi hono nāunau: ʻe sio ia ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku mamaʻo atu.
18 Your heart meditates [on] terror, Where [is] he who is counting? Where [is] he who is weighing? Where [is] he who is counting the towers?
‌ʻE fakalaulauloto ʻa ho loto ki he ilifia. Kofaʻā ʻae tangata tohi? Kofaʻā ia ʻae tangata fakamamafa meʻa? Kofaʻā ia naʻe lau ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga?
19 You do not see the strong people, A people deeper of lip than to be understood, Of a scorned tongue, there is no understanding.
‌ʻE ʻikai te ke mamata ki he kakai ʻoku lili, ha kakai ʻoe lea ʻilongataʻa ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa ongoʻi; ʻo ha ʻelelo leʻo vale, ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa ʻilo.
20 See Zion, the city of our meetings, Your eyes see Jerusalem—a quiet habitation, A tent not taken down, its pins are not removed forever, And none of its cords are broken.
Vakai ki Saione, ko e kolo ʻo ʻetau ngaahi kātoanga mamalu: ʻe mamata ho mata ki Selūsalema ko e nofoʻanga fiemālie, ko e fale fehikitaki ʻe ʻikai veteki; ʻe ʻikai hiki ʻo taʻengata ha pou ʻe taha ʻi ai, pea ʻe ʻikai motu hano afo ʻe taha ʻoʻona.
21 But YHWH [is] mighty for us there, A place of rivers—streams of broad sides, No ship with oars goes into it, And a mighty ship does not pass over it.
Ka e ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova nāunauʻia, ko e potu ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe laulahi mo e ngaahi mangamangaʻi vai; ʻaia ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ʻi ai ha vakafokotuʻu mo e ngaahi fohe, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ʻi ai ha vaka lahi.
22 For YHWH, ours who is judging, YHWH our lawgiver, YHWH our King—He saves us.
He ko Sihova ko hotau fakamaau, ko Sihova ko hotau fai fono, ko Sihova ko hotau tuʻi; te ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu.
23 Your ropes have been left, They do not correctly strengthen their mast, They have not spread out a sail, Then a prey of much spoil has been apportioned, The lame have taken spoil.
Kuo tukuange hoʻo ngaahi maea; naʻe ʻikai te nau fakatuʻumaʻu honau fanā, naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fofola ʻae lā: ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻe tufa ʻae koloa lahi, ʻe ʻave ʻe he ketu ʻae koloa ʻi he vete.
24 Nor does an inhabitant say, “I was sick”; The people dwelling in it [are] forgiven of [their] iniquity!
Pea ʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai, “ʻOku ou mahaki:” ʻe fakamolemole ʻae hia ʻokinautolu ʻoku nofo ai.
