< Isaiah 65 >
1 “I have been inquired of by those who did not ask, I have been found by those who did not seek Me, I have said, Behold Me, behold Me, To a nation not calling on My Name.
“ʻOku kumi kiate au ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai te nau fehuʻi kiate au; kuo ʻilo au ʻekinautolu naʻe ʻikai kumi kiate au: naʻaku pehē, ‘Vakai kiate au, vakai kiate au,’ ki he puleʻanga naʻe ʻikai ke ui ʻaki hoku huafa.
2 I have spread out My hands all the day To an apostate people, Who are going in the way [that is] not good, After their own thoughts.
Kuo u mafao atu hoku nima ʻi he ʻaho kotoa ki he kakai angatuʻu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala ʻoku ʻikai lelei, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngaahi filioʻi:
3 The people who are continually provoking Me to anger, To My face, Sacrificing in gardens, and making incense on the bricks:
Ko e kakai ʻoku fakahouhau kiate au maʻuaipē ki hoku fofonga; ʻoku fai feilaulau ʻi he ngaahi ngoue, pea ʻoku tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he ngaahi ʻesi makaʻumea;
4 Who are dwelling among tombs, And lodge in reserved places, Who are eating flesh of the sow, And a piece of abominations—their vessels.
ʻAkinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi tanuʻanga, pea ʻi he ngaahi fale māʻolunga, ʻoku kai ʻae kakano ʻoe puaka, pea ko e vaihū ʻoe ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ʻoku ʻi he ʻenau ngaahi ipu;
5 Who are saying, Keep to yourself, do not come near to me, For I have declared you unholy. These [are] smoke in My anger, A fire burning all the day.
ʻAkinautolu ʻoku pehē, ‘Tuʻu tokotaha pe koe, ʻoua ʻe haʻu ke ofi kiate au; he ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni hake ʻiate koe.’ Ko e ʻohuafi ʻakinautolu ni ʻi hoku fofonga, ko e afi ʻoku ulo ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
6 Behold, it is written before Me: I am not silent, but have repaid; And I have repaid into their bosom,
“Vakai, ʻoku tohi ʻi hoku ʻao: ʻE ʻikai te u fakalongo pe, ka te u totongi, ʻio, ʻe ai ʻae totongi ki honau fatafata.
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together,” said YHWH, “Who have made incense on the mountains, And have reproached Me on the heights, And I have measured their former work into their bosom.”
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko hoʻomou angahia, mo e angahala ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai fakataha, ʻakinautolu kuo tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea kape kiate au ʻi he ngaahi potu tafungofunga: ko ia te u fua ʻa ʻenau muʻaki ngāue ki honau fatafata.
8 Thus said YHWH: “As the new wine is found in the cluster, And one has said, Do not destroy it for a blessing [is] in it, So I do for My servants’ sake, Not to destroy the whole.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻO hangē ʻoku ʻilo ʻae uaine foʻou ʻi he fuhi, pea ʻoku pehē ʻe ha taha, ‘ʻoua ʻe fakaʻauha ia; he ʻoku ʻi ai ha tāpuaki;’ te u fai pehē koeʻuhi ko ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
9 And I have brought out a Seed from Jacob, And from Judah a Possessor of My mountain, And My chosen ones possess it, And My servants dwell there.
Pea te u ʻomi ha hako meia Sēkope, pea mei Siuta ha taha ke maʻu hoku ngaahi moʻunga: pea ʻe maʻu ia ʻe hoku kakai fili, pea ʻe nofo ai ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki.
10 And Sharon has been for the habitation of a flock, And the Valley of Achor for the lying down of a herd, For My people who have sought Me.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻa Saloni ko e loto ʻā ʻae fanga sipi, pea ko e teleʻa ʻo ʻAkoli ko e tokotoʻanga ʻoe fanga manu, maʻa hoku kakai ʻaia kuo kumi kiate au.
11 And you [are] those forsaking YHWH, Who are forgetting My holy mountain, Who are setting a table in array for Gad, And who are filling a mixture for Meni.
“Ka ko kimoutolu kuo mou liʻaki ʻa Sihova, kuo fakangalongaloʻi hoku moʻunga tapu, ʻoku mou teuteu ha keinangaʻanga maʻa Kata, pea ʻoku ʻatu ʻae feilaulau inu kia Meni.
12 And I have numbered you for the sword, And all of you bow down for slaughter, Because I called, and you have not answered, I have spoken, and you have not listened, And you do evil in My eyes, And on that which I did not desire—fixed.”
Ko ia te u lau ai ʻakimoutolu ki he heletā, pea te mou punou kotoa pē ki he tāmateʻi: koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku ui, naʻe ʻikai te mou tali; ʻi heʻeku lea, naʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo; ka naʻa mou fai kovi ʻi hoku ʻao, mo fili ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fiemālie ai.
13 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My servants eat, and you hunger, Behold, My servants drink, and you thirst, Behold, My servants rejoice, and you are ashamed,
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻOtua ko Sihova, “Vakai, ʻe kai ʻe heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki, ka te mou fiekaia: vakai, ʻe inu ʻe heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki, ka te mou fieinua: vakai, ʻe fiefia ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki, ka e mā ʻakimoutolu.
14 Behold, My servants sing from joy of heart, And you cry from pain of heart, And you howl from breaking of spirit.
Vakai, ʻe hivehiva ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki koeʻuhi ko e fiefia ʻoe loto, ka te mou tangi koeʻuhi ko e mamahi ʻoe loto, pea ʻe tangilāulau ʻi he mamahi ʻoe laumālie.
15 And you have left your name For an oath for My chosen ones, And Lord YHWH has put you to death, And He gives another name to His servants;
Pea te mou tuku homou hingoa ko e fakamamahi kiate kinautolu kuo u fili: koeʻuhi ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova, pea ui ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ha hingoa kehe:
16 So that he who is blessing himself in the earth, Blesses himself in the God of faithfulness, And he who is swearing in the earth, Swears by the God of faithfulness, Because the former distresses have been forgotten, And because they have been hid from My eyes.
Koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku ne tāpuaki ia ʻi he fonua te ne tāpuaki ia ʻi he ʻOtua ʻoe moʻoni; pea ko ia ʻoku fuakava ʻi he fonua te ne fuakava ʻi he ʻOtua ʻoe moʻoni; koeʻuhi kuo fakangalo ʻae ngaahi muʻaki mamahi, pea koeʻuhi kuo fakafufū ia mei hoku fofonga.
17 For behold, I am creating new heavens and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart.
“Vakai, he ʻoku ou fakatupu ʻae ngaahi langi foʻou pea mo e fonua foʻou: pea ʻe ʻikai manatu ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa, pe ai ha manatu loto ki ai.
18 But rejoice, and rejoice forever, that I [am] Creator, For behold, I am creating Jerusalem [to be] a rejoicing, And her people a joy.
Ka ke fiefia ʻakimoutolu pea nekeneka ʻo taʻengata ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ou fakatupu: he vakai, ʻoku ou ngaohi ʻa Selūsalema ko e fiefiaʻanga, pea ke fiefia ʻa hono kakai.
19 And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, And have rejoiced in My people, And the voice of weeping is not heard in her anymore, and the voice of crying.
Pea te u fiefia ia Selūsalema, pea nekeneka ʻi hoku kakai: pea ʻe ʻikai ha toe fanongo ki ha leʻo ʻoe tangi ʻiate ia, pe ko e leʻo ʻoe tangi mamahi.
20 There is not a suckling of [mere] days there anymore, And an aged man who does not complete his days, For the youth dies one hundred years old, And the sinner, one hundred years old, is lightly esteemed.
“ʻE ʻikai toe ʻai ʻi ai ha tamasiʻi ʻoku moʻui fuonounou, pe ko ha tangata motuʻa ʻoku taʻekakato hono ngaahi ʻaho: he ko ia ʻe mate ʻi hono teau taʻu ʻe mate ko e tamasiʻi pe; pea ko e tangata angahala ʻoku mate ʻi hono teau taʻu ʻe malaʻia ia.
21 And they have built houses, and inhabited, And planted vineyards, and eaten their fruit.
Pea te nau langa ʻae ngaahi fale, pea nofo ai; pea te nau tō ʻae ngaahi vaine, pea kai ʻae fua ʻo ia.
22 They do not build, and another inhabit, They do not plant, and another eat, For as the days of a tree [are] the days of My people, And My chosen wear out the work of their hands.
ʻE ʻikai te nau langa, kae nofo ai ha taha kehe; ʻe ʻikai te nau tō, kae kai ʻe ha taha kehe: he ʻoku hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ʻakau ʻoku pehē ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoku kakai, pea ʻe leleiʻia fuoloa ʻae kakai kuo u fili ʻi he ngāue ʻa honau nima.
23 They do not labor for a vain thing, Nor do they bring forth for trouble, For they [are] the seed of the blessed of YHWH, And their offspring with them.
ʻE ʻikai te nau ngāue taʻeʻaonga, pe fanauʻi ki he mamahi; he ko e hako ʻakinautolu kuo monūʻia ʻia Sihova, pea mo ʻenau fānau fakataha mo kinautolu.
24 And it has come to pass, They do not yet call, and I answer, They are yet speaking, and I hear.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he teʻeki te nau ui, te u tali; pea ʻi he lolotonga ʻenau lea, te u ongoʻi.
25 Wolf and lamb feed as one, And a lion eats straw as an ox, As for the serpent—its food [is] dust, They do no evil, nor destroy, In all My holy mountain,” said YHWH!
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE kai fakataha ʻae ulofi mo e lami, pea ʻe kai ʻe he laione ʻae kau ʻoe koane ʻo hangē ko e pulu: pea ko e meʻakai ʻoe ngata ko e efu. ʻE ʻikai te nau fakamamahi pe fakaʻauha ʻi [ha potu ʻo ]hoku moʻunga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.”
