< Isaiah 62 >

1 For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
Koeʻuhi ko Saione ʻe ʻikai te u fakalongo pe, pea koeʻuhi ko Selūsalema ʻe ʻikai te u mālōlō, kaeʻoua ke ulo atu ʻa ʻene māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e maama lahi, pea mo ʻene fakamoʻui ʻo hangē ko e maama ʻoku ulo.
2 The nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of YHWH shall name.
Pea ʻe mamata ʻae ngaahi Senitaile ki hoʻo māʻoniʻoni, mo e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ki ho nāunau; pea ʻe ui ʻaki koe ʻae hingoa foʻou, ʻaia ʻe fakahā ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova.
3 You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
Pea te ke hoko foki ko e tatā ʻoe nāunau ʻi he nima ʻo Sihova, mo e pale fakatuʻi ʻi he nima ʻo ho ʻOtua,
4 And you shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for YHWH delights in you, and your land shall be married.
‌ʻE ʻikai toe ui koe “ko e Liʻaki;” pea ʻe ʻikai toe ui ho fonua “ko e Lala:” ka e ui koe “ko Hefisipa,” mo ho fonua “ko Piula:” he ʻoku fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻiate koe, pea ʻe fai ʻae taʻane ʻi ho fonua.
5 For just as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons shall marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
Hangē ʻoku mali ʻae talavou mo e tāupoʻou, ʻe pehē ʻae mali ho ngaahi foha mo koe: pea hangē ʻoku fiefia ʻae tangata taʻane ʻi he taʻahine, ʻe pehē ʻae fiefia ʻa ho ʻOtua ʻiate koe.
6 I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they shall never be silent, day or night. You who call on YHWH, take no rest,
Kuo u fekau ʻae kau tangata leʻo ki ho ngaahi ʻā, ʻE Selūsalema, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau fakalongo pē ʻi he ʻaho pe ʻi he pō; ko kimoutolu ʻoku fakahā ʻa Sihova, ʻoua ʻe fakalongo pe,
7 and give him no rest until he establishes and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku kiate ia ha fiemālie, kaeʻoua ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe ia ʻa Selūsalema, pea ke ne ngaohi ia ko e ongoongolelei ʻi māmani.
8 YHWH has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, "Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored:
Kuo fuakava ʻe Sihova ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu, pea ʻi he nima ʻo hono mālohi, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te u toe foaki hoʻo uite ko e meʻakai ki ho ngaahi fili; pea ʻe ʻikai inu ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻoe muli ʻi hoʻo uaine, ʻaia kuo ke ngāue ke maʻu:
9 but those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise YHWH; and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary."
Ka ko kinautolu kuo tānaki ia te nau kai ia, pea fakamālō kia Sihova; pea ko kinautolu kuo ʻomi fakataha ia te nau inu ia ʻi he ngaahi loto ʻā ʻo hoku māʻoniʻoni.
10 Go through the gates, prepare the way of the people. Build up, build up the highway. Gather out the stones. Lift up a banner for the peoples.
Hū atu, hū atu ʻi he ngaahi matapā; teuteu ʻae hala ʻoe kakai; fokotuʻu hake, fokotuʻu hake ʻae hala māʻolunga; tānaki mei ai ʻae ngaahi maka; fokotuʻu ʻae fuka maʻa ʻe kakai.
11 Look, YHWH has proclaimed to the remotest part of earth, "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Look, your salvation comes. Look, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.'"
Vakai, kuo folofola ʻa Sihova ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, “Mou pehē ki he ʻofefine ʻo Saione, ‘Vakai, ʻoku haʻu hoʻo fakamoʻui; vakai, ʻoku ʻiate ia hono totongi, pea ʻi hono ʻao ʻa ʻene ngāue.’”
12 They shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of YHWH: and you shall be called Sought out, A city not forsaken.
Pea te nau ui ʻakinautolu, “Ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni, Ko e kakai kuo huhuʻi ʻe Sihova:” pea ʻe ui koe, “Ko e ʻofeina, Ko e kolo taʻeliʻaki.”
