< Isaiah 11 >

1 And a rod hath come out from the stock of Jesse, And a branch from his roots is fruitful.
Pea ʻe tupu hake ha tokotoko mei he tefito ʻo Sese, pea ʻe tupu ha Vaʻa mei hono ngaahi aka:
2 Rested on him hath the Spirit of Jehovah, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge and fear of Jehovah.
Pea ʻe nofo ʻiate ia ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova, ʻae laumālie ʻoe poto mo e faʻa ʻilo, ʻae laumālie ʻoe akonaki mo e mālohi, ʻae laumālie ʻoe ʻilo pea mo e manavahē kia Sihova;
3 To refresh him in the fear of Jehovah, And by the sight of his eyes he judgeth not, Nor by the hearing of his ears decideth.
Pea ʻe ʻilo vave ʻe ia ʻae manavahē kia Sihova: pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamaau ʻi he vakai ʻa hono fofonga, pe valoki ʻo hangē ko e fanongo ʻa hono telinga:
4 And he hath judged in righteousness the poor, And decided in uprightness for the humble of earth, And hath smitten earth with the rod of his mouth, And with the breath of his lips he putteth the wicked to death.
Ka ʻi he māʻoniʻoni te ne fakamaau ʻae masiva, pea valoki ʻi he taʻefilifilimānako maʻa e angavaivai ʻoe fonua: pea te ne taaʻi ʻa māmani ʻaki ʻae meʻa tā ʻo hono fofonga, pea te ne tāmate ʻae angakovi ʻaki ʻae mānava ʻo hono loungutu.
5 And righteousness hath been the girdle of his loins, And faithfulness — the girdle of his reins.
Pea ko e noʻo ʻo hono kongaloto ʻae māʻoniʻoni, pea ko e nonoʻo ʻo hono noʻotanga vala ʻae moʻoni.
6 And a wolf hath sojourned with a lamb, And a leopard with a kid doth lie down, And calf, and young lion, and fatling [are] together, And a little youth is leader over them.
Pea ʻe toki nofo fakataha ʻae ulofi mo e lami, pea ʻe tokoto fakataha ʻae lēpati mo e ʻuhikiʻi kosi; pea ʻe fakataha ʻae ʻuhikiʻi pulu mo e laione mui pea mo e manu fafanga; pea ʻe tataki ʻakinautolu ʻe ha tamasiʻi siʻi.
7 And cow and bear do feed, Together lie down their young ones, And a lion as an ox eateth straw.
Pea ʻe kai fakataha ʻae pulu fefine mo e pea; pea ʻe tokoto fakataha honau ʻuhiki: pea ʻe kai ʻe he laione ʻae kau ʻoe koane ʻo hangē ko e pulu.
8 And played hath a suckling by the hole of an asp, And on the den of a cockatrice Hath the weaned one put his hand.
Pea ko e tamasiʻi ʻoku kei huhu te ne vaʻinga ʻi he luo ʻoe ngata, pea ko e tamasiʻi kuo fakamavae te ne ʻai hono nima ki he ʻana ʻoe ngata fekai.
9 Evil they do not, nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For full hath been the earth with the knowledge of Jehovah, As the waters are covering the sea.
‌ʻE ʻikai te nau fakamamahi pe fakaʻauha ʻi ha potu ʻo hoku moʻunga māʻoniʻoni: koeʻuhi ʻe fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻiloʻi ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻe he ngaahi vai ʻae kilisi tahi.
10 And there hath been, in that day, A root of Jesse that is standing for an ensign of peoples, Unto him do nations seek, And his rest hath been — honour!
Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe ʻi ai ʻae aka ʻo Sese, ʻaia ʻe tuʻu ko e fuka ʻae kakai: ʻe kumi ki ai ʻae ngaahi Senitaile: pea ʻe lelei ʻaupito ʻa hono mālōlōʻanga.
11 And it hath come to pass, in that day, The Lord addeth a second time his power, To get the remnant of His people that is left, From Asshur, and from Egypt, And from Pathros, and from Cush, And from Elam, and from Shinar, And from Hamath, and from isles of the sea,
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe toe ai ʻe Sihova hono nima ko hono liunga ua ke fakamoʻui ʻae toenga ʻo hono kakai, ʻaia ʻe fakatoe, mei ʻAsilia, pea mo ʻIsipite, pea mo Patolose, pea mo Kusi, pea mo ʻIlami, pea mei Saina, pea mei Hamate, pea mei he ngaahi motu ʻoe tahi.
12 And He hath lifted up an ensign to nations, And gathereth the driven away of Israel, And the scattered of Judah He assembleth, From the four wings of the earth.
Pea te ne fokotuʻu ha fuka ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea te ne fakataha ʻae kau liʻaki ʻo ʻIsileli, pea tānaki fakataha ʻae kau vetekina ʻo Siuta mei he vahe ʻe fā ʻo māmani.
13 And turned aside hath the envy of Ephraim, And the adversaries of Judah are cut off, Ephraim doth not envy Judah, And Judah doth not distress Ephraim.
Pea ʻe mole ʻae meheka meia ʻIfalemi, pea ʻe fakaʻauha mo e ngaahi fili ʻo Siuta: ʻe ʻikai kei fehiʻa ʻa ʻIfalemi kia Siuta, pea ko Siuta ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamamahiʻi ʻa ʻIfalemi.
14 And they have flown on the shoulder of the Philistines westward, Together they spoil the sons of the east, Edom and Moab sending forth their hand, And sons of Ammon obeying them.
Ka te na puna ki he lulunga ʻi he uma ʻoe kakai Filisitia; pea te na faʻao mo e potu hahake: te nau ʻene ai honau nima ki ʻItomi mo Moape; pea ʻe talangofua kiate kinautolu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
15 And Jehovah hath devoted to destruction The tongue of the sea of Egypt, And hath waved His hand over the river, In the terror of his wind, And hath smitten it at the seven streams, And hath caused [men] to tread [it] with shoes.
Pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe tahi ʻo ʻIsipite; pea te ne lulululu hono nima ki he vaitafe ʻaki ʻene matangi lahi, pea ʻe taaʻi ʻe ia ʻi hono mangaʻivai ʻe fitu, pea ʻe ʻalu taʻeviku ai ʻae kakai.
16 And there hath been a highway, For the remnant of His people that is left, from Asshur, As there was for Israel in the day of his coming up out of the land of Egypt!
Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae hala motuʻa ki he toenga ʻo hono kakai, ʻaia ʻe toe ʻi ʻAsilia, ʻo hangē ko ia ne maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho naʻe ʻalu hake ai ia mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
