Isaia 18

1 Indrisy ny tany be fibiziziokan’ elatra! Izay any an-dafin’ ny onin’ i Etiopia,

‌ʻE ʻa koe! Ko e fonua ʻoku lolofa ai ʻae kapakau, ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu kituʻa ʻi he vaitafe ʻo ʻItiopea:

2 Izay mampandeha iraka eny ambonin’ ny ranomasina, ao anaty lakan-jozoro ambonin’ ny rano, ka manafatra azy hoe: Mandehana, ry iraka faingam-pandeha, ho any amin’ ny firenena lava tsanganana sady mandimandina, any amin’ ny olona mahatahotra hatreto ka hatrany hatrany, dia firenena mpanao teny tsy valiana sady maherisetra, izay vakin’ ny ony maro ny taniny.

‌ʻA koe ʻoku kouna atu ʻene kau talafekau ʻi he tahi, ʻi he ngaahi vaka papailusi ʻi he fukahi vai, ʻo pehē, ʻAlu, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau talafekau veʻe vave, ki he puleʻanga lōloa mo lafalafa, ki he kakai fakamanavahē talu mei honau kamataʻanga ʻo aʻu ki heni; ko e puleʻanga kuo fua ʻaki ʻae afo pea faʻa molomoloki, ʻaia kuo maumau ʻe he ngaahi vaitafe!

3 Ry mponina rehetra amin’ izao tontolo izao sy mpitoetra etỳ ambonin’ ny tany! Raha misy faneva atsangana eo an-tampon-tendrombohitra, dia mijere ianareo, ary raha misy anjomara tsofina, dia mihainoa.

‌ʻAkimoutolu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani, mo kimoutolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he funga fonua, mou vakai, ʻoka fokotuʻu ʻe ia ha fuka ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga; pea ʻi he ifi ʻe ia ʻae kelea, mou fanongo.

4 Fa izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko hangina Aho aloha ka hijery eto amin’ ny fitoerako, raha mbola mipoaka tsara ny hainandro, ary misy zavona amin’ ny hainandro fararano.

He naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Te u mālōlō, pea te u tokangaʻi hoku fale ʻo hangē ko e mafana hili ʻae ʻuha, pea hangē ko ha ʻao ʻoe hahau ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ututaʻu.”

5 Fa raha mbola tsy tonga ny fararano, rehefa tapitra ny fitsimohany, ka efa mby am-boany ny voniny, dia horantsanany amin’ ny fanetezam-boaloboka ny rantsany, ary hotapahiny sy hesoriny ny sakeliny.

‌ʻI he teʻeki ai hoko ʻae ututaʻu, ʻaia ʻoku haohaoa ai hono fua, pea ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ke momoho ʻae kālepi mei hono fisi, te ne fakatou tuʻusi ʻae ngaahi huli ʻaki ʻae hele tuʻusi, pea ʻave mo tuʻusi hifo ʻae ngaahi vaʻa.

6 Dia hafoy avokoa izy ho an’ ny vorona mpihaza eny an-tendrombohitra sy ho an’ ny biby eny ambonin’ ny tany; ary ny vorona mpihaza handany fahavaratra any; Ary ny biby rehetra ambonin’ ny tany handany ririnina any.

‌ʻE tuku fakataha ia ki he manupuna ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, pea ki he fanga manu fekai ʻoe kelekele: ko e ngaahi manupuna te nau kai ai ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana, pea ʻe kai ai ʻae manu fekai kotoa pē ʻoe kelekele ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momoko.

7 Amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy fanomezana ho entina ho an’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia firenena lava tsanganana sady mandimandina, ary avy amin’ ny firenena mahatahotra hatreto ka hatrany hatrany dia firenena mpanao teny tsy valiana sady maherisetra, Izay vakin’ ny ony maro ny taniny ho ao amin’ ny fitoeran’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia ny tendrombohitra Ziona.

ʻI he kuonga ko ia ʻe ʻomi kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻae meʻa foaki mei he fonua lōloa mo lafalafa, pea mei he kakai fakamanavahē talu mei honau tupuʻanga ʻo aʻu mai; ko e puleʻanga kuo fua ʻaki ʻae afo pea faʻa molomoloki, ʻaia kuo maumauʻi ʻe he ngaahi vaitafe; ki he potu ʻoe huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ki he moʻunga ko Saione.”
