Isaiah 33

1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou hast made an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

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 LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm 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 tumult the peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered.

‌ʻI he longoaʻa ʻoe tokolahi naʻe hola ʻae kakai; ʻi hoʻo tuʻu hake ʻaʻau, naʻe veteki ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga.

4 And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpiller gathereth: as locusts leap shall they leap upon 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 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath 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 there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the LORD 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 valiant ones cry without: 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 lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not 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 mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and withereth away: Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their leaves].

‌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 How will I arise, saith the LORD; now will I lift up myself; now will I 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 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall 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 And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut down, that are 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, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that 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 hath surprised the godless ones. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

‌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 that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon 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 shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: his bread shall be given [him]; his waters shall 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 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a far stretching land.

‌ʻE mamata ho mata ki he tuli ʻi hono nāunau: ʻe sio ia ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku mamaʻo atu.

18 Thine heart shall muse on the terror: where is he that counted, where is he that weighed [the tribute]? where is he that 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 Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not perceive; of a strange tongue that thou canst not 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 upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof 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 the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

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 the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD 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 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil 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 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

Pea ʻe ʻikai pehē ʻe kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai, “ʻOku ou mahaki:” ʻe fakamolemole ʻae hia ʻokinautolu ʻoku nofo ai.
