< Isaiah 33 >
1 Woe to you who destroy, but you weren't destroyed; and who betray, but nobody betrayed you. When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have made an end of betrayal, you will be betrayed.
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 YHWH, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
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 At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
ʻI he longoaʻa ʻoe tokolahi naʻe hola ʻae kakai; ʻi hoʻo tuʻu hake ʻaʻau, naʻe veteki ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga.
4 Your spoil will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
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 exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice 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 There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of YHWH is your 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 Look, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
Vakai, ko ʻenau kau toʻa, ʻe tangi ʻituʻa: ʻe tangi mamahi ʻae kau faifekau ʻoe melino.
8 The highways are desolate, the traveler ceases. He has broken the covenant, he has despised the witnesses; he has no regard for 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 mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
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 will arise," says YHWH; "Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “te u tuʻu hake ni: te u hiki hake ni au ki ʻolunga, pea ʻe hakeakiʻi ni au.
11 You will conceive chaff. You will bring forth stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour 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 The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the 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 who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might."
Fanongo, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mamaʻo, ki he meʻa kuo u fai; pea ʻilo mo kimoutolu ʻoku ofi, ki hoku mālohi.”
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
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 He who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; He who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at 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 will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
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 will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
ʻE mamata ho mata ki he tuli ʻi hono nāunau: ʻe sio ia ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku mamaʻo atu.
18 Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted 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 will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can't comprehend, with a strange language that you can't understand.
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 Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won't be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be 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 there YHWH will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
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 is our judge. YHWH is our lawgiver. YHWH is our king. He will save us.
He ko Sihova ko hotau fakamaau, ko Sihova ko hotau fai fono, ko Sihova ko hotau tuʻi; te ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu.
23 Your rigging is untied. They couldn't strengthen the foot of their mast. They couldn't spread the sail. Then the prey of a great spoil was divided. The lame took the prey.
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 The inhabitant won't say, "I am sick." The people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity.
Pea ʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai, “ʻOku ou mahaki:” ʻe fakamolemole ʻae hia ʻokinautolu ʻoku nofo ai.
