Isaiæ 26
1 In die illa cantabitur canticum istud in terra Juda: Urbs fortitudinis nostræ Sion; salvator ponetur in ea murus et antemurale.
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe hiva ʻaki ʻae hiva ni ʻi he fonua ki Siuta; “ʻOku tau maʻu ʻae kolo mālohi; ʻe tuʻutuʻuni [ʻe he ʻOtua ]ʻae fakamoʻui ki hono ngaahi ʻā mo hono ngaahi puke.
2 Aperite portas, et ingrediatur gens justa, custodiens veritatem.
Mou toʻo ʻae ngaahi matapā, koeʻuhi ke hū ai ʻae puleʻanga māʻoniʻoni ʻaia ʻoku tauhi ʻae moʻoni.
3 Vetus error abiit: servabis pacem; pacem, quia in te speravimus.
Te ke tauhi ia ʻi he melino haohaoa, ʻaia ʻoku faʻaki hono loto kiate koe: koeʻuhi ʻoku ne falala kiate koe.
4 Sperastis in Domino in sæculis æternis; in Domino Deo forti in perpetuum.
Mou falala kia Sihova ʻo lauikuonga: he ʻoku ʻi he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻae māfimafi taʻengata.
5 Quia incurvabit habitantes in excelso; civitatem sublimem humiliabit: humiliabit eam usque ad terram, detrahet eam usque ad pulverem.
He ʻoku ne ʻomi ki lalo ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he māʻolunga; ʻoku ne fakamoʻulaloa ʻae kolo māʻolunga, ʻoku ne fakamoʻulaloa ia, ʻio, ki he kelekele ʻoku ne ʻomi ia ki he efu.
6 Conculcabit eam pes, pedes pauperis, gressus egenorum.
ʻE malaki hifo ia ʻaki ʻae vaʻe, ʻio, ʻae vaʻe ʻoe paea, pea mo e laka ʻae masiva.”
7 Semita justi recta est, rectus callis justi ad ambulandum.
Ko e hala ʻoe angatonu ko e māʻoniʻoni ia: ʻa koe, ko e fungani māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ke fakamamafa ʻae hala ʻoe angatonu.
8 Et in semita judiciorum tuorum, Domine, sustinuimus te: nomen tuum et memoriale tuum in desiderio animæ.
ʻIo, kuo mau tatali kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau; ʻoku holi ʻa homau laumālie ki ho huafa, pea ʻi he fakamanatu kiate koe.
9 Anima mea desideravit te in nocte, sed et spiritu meo in præcordiis meis de mane vigilabo ad te. Cum feceris judicia tua in terra, justitiam discent habitatores orbis.
Kuo u holi ʻi hoku laumālie kiate koe ʻi he pō; ʻio, te u kumi vave kiate koe ʻaki ʻa hoku laumālie ʻi loto ʻiate au: he ka ʻi he fonua ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau, ʻe toki ako ʻae kakai ʻo māmani ki he māʻoniʻoni.
10 Misereamur impio, et non discet justitiam; in terra sanctorum iniqua gessit, et non videbit gloriam Domini.
Ke hā ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki he angakovi, ka e ʻikai te ne ako ki he māʻoniʻoni: ʻi he fonua ʻoe angatonu te ne fai kākā, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he māfimafi ʻa Sihova.
11 Domine, exaltetur manus tua, et non videant; videant, et confundantur zelantes populi; et ignis hostes tuos devoret.
ʻE Sihova, ʻoka hiki hake ho nima, ʻe ʻikai te nau mamata: ka te nau mamata, pea te nau mā koeʻuhi ko e meheka ki hoʻo kakai; ʻio, ʻe ʻauha ʻi he afi ʻa ho ngaahi fili.
12 Domine, dabis pacem nobis: omnia enim opera nostra operatus es nobis.
ʻE Sihova te ke tuʻutuʻuni ʻae fiemālie maʻanautolu: he kuo ke fai ʻe koe ʻa ʻemau ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻiate kimautolu.
13 Domine Deus noster, possederunt nos domini absque te; tantum in te recordemur nominis tui.
ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, kuo puleʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki kehe: ka e talu mei heni te mau takua ho huafa ʻoʻou.
14 Morientes non vivant, gigantes non resurgant: propterea visitasti et contrivisti eos, et perdidisti omnem memoriam eorum.
Kuo nau mate, ʻe ʻikai te nau moʻui; kuo nau pekia, ʻe ʻikai te nau toetuʻu: ko ia kuo ke ʻaʻahi mo fakaʻauhaʻi ʻakinautolu, pea kuo ke fakangata honau fakamanatu kotoa pē.
15 Indulsisti genti, Domine, indulsisti genti, numquid glorificatus es? elongasti omnes terminos terræ.
Kuo ke fakatokolahi ʻae puleʻanga, ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fakatokolahi ʻae puleʻanga: kuo fakaongoleleiʻi koe: kuo ke fakamanatu ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe fonua.
16 Domine, in angustia requisierunt te, in tribulatione murmuris doctrina tua eis.
ʻE Sihova, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki kuo mau ʻaʻahi kiate koe, naʻa mau lilingi ʻae lotu ʻi he hoko hoʻo tautea kiate kimautolu.
17 Sicut quæ concipit, cum appropinquaverit ad partum, dolens clamat in doloribus suis, sic facti sumus a facie tua, Domine.
Hangē ʻoku mamahi ha fefine feitama, ʻoka fakaʻaʻau ke ofi ʻene fāʻele, pea ʻoku tangi ʻi heʻene langā: kuo pehē ʻakimautolu ʻi ho ʻao, ʻE Sihova.
18 Concepimus, et quasi parturivimus, et peperimus spiritum. Salutes non fecimus in terra; ideo non ceciderunt habitatores terræ.
Naʻa mau tuituʻia, naʻa mau mamahi, ʻo hangē kuo mau fanauʻi ʻae matangi; naʻe ʻikai te mau fai ha fakamoʻui ʻi he fonua; pea ʻoku teʻeki ke hinga ʻae kakai ʻo māmani.
19 Vivent mortui tui, interfecti mei resurgent. Expergiscimini, et laudate, qui habitatis in pulvere, quia ros lucis ros tuus, et terram gigantum detrahes in ruinam.
ʻE moʻui ʻa hoʻo kakai mate, te nau toetuʻu fakataha mo hoku sino mate ni. Mou ʻa ʻo hiva, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he efu: he ʻoku tatau hoʻo hahau mo e hahau ʻoe mohuku mata, pea ʻe puʻaki ʻe he kelekele ʻae mate.
20 Vade, populus meus, intra in cubicula tua; claude ostia tua super te, abscondere modicum ad momentum, donec pertranseat indignatio.
Haʻu, ʻa hoku kakai, pea hū ki homou ngaahi loki, pea tāpuni ho matapā kiate koe: fufū koe ʻo fuoloa siʻi, kaeʻoua ke mole atu ʻae houhau.
21 Ecce enim Dominus egredietur de loco suo, ut visitet iniquitatem habitatoris terræ contra eum; et revelabit terra sanguinem suum, et non operiet ultra interfectos suos.
He vakai, ʻoku hāʻele ʻa Sihova mei hono potu ke tautea ʻae kakai ʻo māmani koeʻuhi ko ʻenau hia: pea ʻe fakahā ʻe he fonua hono toto, pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻufiʻufi hono kakai kuo tāmateʻi.
