Isaiah 54
1 Shout in triumph, O barren one, Who hadst not borne, —Break forth into shouts of triumph—and trill thy voice, Who hadst not travailed in birth, For, more, are the children of the Desolate Than the children of Her who had the husband, Saith Yahweh.
“Hiva, ʻae paʻa, ʻa koe naʻe ʻikai te ke fānau; ke ke hiva, pea kalanga leʻo lahi, ʻa koe naʻe ʻikai te ke langā ʻi ha tamasiʻi:” he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku tokolahi hake ʻae fānau ʻae liʻaki ʻi he fānau ʻoe fefine kuo mali.
2 Enlarge the space of thy tent And the curtains of thy habitations, let them spread forth do not spare, —Lengthen thy cords, And thy tent-pins, make thou fast;
Fakalahi ʻae potu ʻo ho fale fehikitaki, pea tuku ke nau fofola ʻae puipui ʻo ho ngaahi nofoʻanga: ʻoua ʻe taʻofi, fakalōloa hoʻo ngaahi afo, pea tutuki ke maʻu hoʻo ngaahi tuki poupou;
3 For, on the right hand and on the left, shalt thou break forth, —And thy seed, shall of the nations, take possession, And forsaken cities, shall they cause to be inhabited.
He te ke ʻalu atu ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pea ki he toʻohema; pea ʻe maʻu ʻa ho hako ʻae ngaahi Senitaile, pea ʻe fakakakai ʻae ngaahi kolo naʻe lala.
4 Do not fear for thou shalt not turn pale, Neither feel disgraced for thou shalt not be put to the blush, —For, the shame of thy youth, shalt thou forget, And the reproach of thy widowhood, shalt thou remember no more;
“ʻOua ʻe manavahē; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke mā: pea ʻoua naʻa ke puputuʻu koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai fakamaaʻi koe: he te ke fakangaloʻi ʻae mā ʻo hoʻo kei talavou, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke toe manatu ki he valoki ʻo hoʻo nofo taka pe ʻi he mate ho husepāniti.
5 For, thy husband, is, thy Maker, Yahweh of hosts, is his Name, —And, thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, The God of all the earth, shall he be called.
He ko ho Tupuʻanga kuo fakamaau mo koe; ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ko hono huafa ia; pea ko ho Huhuʻi ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻe ui ia ko e ʻOtua ʻo māmani kotoa pē.
6 For, like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, hath Yahweh called thee, —Even the wife of youthful days, in that thou wast rejected saith thy God.
He kuo ui koe ʻe Sihova ʻo hangē ko e fefine liʻaki pea mamahi ʻi hono laumālie, pea hangē ko e uaifi ʻi heʻene kei siʻi, ka kuo liʻaki,” ʻoku pehē ʻe ho ʻOtua.
7 For a small moment, I forsook thee, —But, with abounding compassions, do I embrace thee:
“ʻI he kihiʻi fuoloa siʻi kuo u liʻaki koe; ka ʻi he ngaahi ʻaloʻofa lahi te u tānaki koe.
8 In an overflow of vexation, I hid my face for a moment, from thee, But, with lovingkindness age-abiding, have I had compassion on thee, —saith thy Redeemer Yahweh.
ʻI he houhau siʻi naʻaku fufū hoku fofonga meiate koe ʻi he kemo pe; ka ʻi he ʻofa taʻengata te u ʻaloʻofa kiate koe, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko ho Huhuʻi.
9 For, the waters of Noah, is this unto me, —As to which I sware that the waters of Noah should not again pass over the earth, So have I sworn Not to be vexed with thee Nor to rebuke thee.
“He ʻoku tatau ʻae meʻa ni kiate au mo e ngaahi vai ʻo Noa: ʻo hangē kuo u fuakava ʻe ʻikai toe lōmaki ʻa māmani ʻaki ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo Noa; ʻoku pehē ʻeku fuakava ʻe ʻikai te u houhau kiate koe, pe valokiʻi koe.
10 For, the mountains, may move away, And the hills, may be shaken, —But, my lovingkindness, from thee, shall not move away, And, my covenant of peace, shall not be shaken, saith he who hath compassion upon thee—Yahweh.
Koeʻuhi ʻe mole ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea hiki mo e ngaahi tafungofunga; ka ko ʻeku ʻofa ʻe ʻikai mole meiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai hiki ʻae fuakava ʻo ʻeku melino, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ʻaloʻofa kiate koe.
11 O thou humbled one storm-tossed, uncomforted, —Lo! I, am about to set in antimony, thy stones, And will found thee in sapphires;
“ʻA koe koe mamahi, pea vilingia ʻi he matangi, pea taʻefiemālie, vakai, te u ʻai hoʻo ngaahi maka ʻi he lanu lelei, pea ʻai hoʻo ngaahi tuʻunga ʻaki ʻae ngaahi safaia.
12 And make rubies, thy battlements, And thy gates, sparkling stones, —And, all thy boundaries, stones of delight;
Pea te u ngaohi ho ngaahi matapā sioʻata ʻaki ʻae ʻakete, pea mo ho ngaahi matapā ʻaki ʻae kapunikale, pea mo ho ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻaki ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga.
13 And, all thy children, shall be the instructed of Yahweh, —And, great, shall be the prosperity of thy children.
Pea ʻe akonakiʻi ʻe Sihova hoʻo fānau kotoa pē; pea ʻe lahi ʻae fiemālie ʻi hoʻo fānau.
14 In righteousness, shalt thou be established, —Be thou far from oppression—But indeed thou shalt not fear, And from crushing calamity—But indeed it shall not come nigh unto thee.
ʻE fokotuʻumaʻu koe ʻi he māʻoniʻoni: te ke mamaʻo mo e fakamālohia; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke manavahē: pea mei he ilifia; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai haʻu ia ʻo ofi kiate koe.
15 Lo! they would, quarrel, with thee—not at all from me, —Whoso hath quarrelled with thee, over thee, shall fall.
Vakai, ko e moʻoni te nau tānaki fakataha, ka e ʻikai ʻiate au: ko ia kotoa pē ʻe fakataha ko e fili kiate koe ʻe hinga koeʻuhi ko koe.
16 Lo! I, have created the smith, who bloweth up a fire of coals, And who bringeth forth an instrument for his work, —And, I, have created the waster to destroy:
“Vakai, kuo u fakatupu ʻae tufunga ukamea ʻaia ʻoku tapili ʻae malala ʻi he afi, pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻae meʻa fakatufunga ki heʻene ngāue; pea kuo u fakatupu ʻae fakaʻauha ke fakaʻauhaʻi.
17 No instrument formed against thee, shall prosper, And every tongue that riseth against thee in judgment, shalt thou prove to be lawless, —This is the inheritance of the servants of Yahweh. And, their righteousness, is from me, Declareth Yahweh.
ʻE ʻikai monūʻia ha mahafutau kuo ngaohi ke tauʻi koe; pea ko e ʻelelo kotoa pē ʻe lea kovi kiate koe te ke fakamalaʻia ʻi he fakamaau. Ko eni ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku meiate au ʻenau māʻoniʻoni,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
