Isaya 59
1 Tazama, mkono wa Yahwe sio mfupi ambao hautweza kukuokoa wewe; wala sikio lake sio zito, ambalo haliwezi kusikia.
Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai fakanounou ʻae nima ʻo Sihova, ke ne taʻefaʻafakamoʻui; pea ʻoku ʻikai mamafa hono fofonga, ke ne taʻefaʻaongoʻi.
2 Matendo yako ya dhambi, hata hivyo, zimekutenga wewe na Mungu, na dhambi zenu zimemfanya aufiche uso wake msimuone wala kumsikia yeye.
Ka ko hoʻomou ngaahi hia kuo fakamavae ʻakimoutolu mo homou ʻOtua, pea ʻi hoʻomou angahala kuo ne fakafufū hono fofonga meiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne fanongo,
3 Maana mikono yenu ina madoa ya damu na vidole vyenu vimejaa dhambi. Midomo yenu inazungumza uongo na ulimi wenu unazungumza kwa nia mbaya.
He kuo fakaʻuli homou nima ʻaki ʻae toto, mo homou louhiʻi nima ʻaki ʻae fai kovi; kuo lea loi homou loungutu, kuo puʻaki ʻe homou ʻelelo ʻae kovi.
4 Hakuna hata mmoja aitae haki, na hakuna anayewasihi kesi yake katika haki. Wanayamini maneno yasiyo ya haki, maneno ya uongo; wanashika matatizo na kuzaa dhambi.
ʻOku ʻikai ui ha taha ki he angatonu, pe lea ha niʻihi ki he moʻoni, ʻoku nau faʻaki ki he vaʻinga, pea lea loi; ʻoku nau tuituʻia ʻi he fai kovi, pea nau fanauʻi ʻae angahala.
5 Wanetotoa mayai ya nyoka wenye sumu na hufuma mtandao wa buibui. Yeyote alaye mayai yake atakufa, na ikiwa yai litavunjika, litatotoa nyoka mwenye sumu.
ʻOku nau fōfoaʻi ʻae fua ʻoe ngata fekai, pea fi ʻae matamata kupenga ʻoe hina: ko ia ʻoku ne kai honau fua ʻe mate, pea ko ia kuo laiki ʻoku haʻu mei ai ʻae ngata fekai.
6 Mitando yao haitatumika kama mavazi, wala hawawezi kujifukia wenyewe kwa kazi yao. Kazi zao ni kazi za dhambi, na matendo ya vurugu yako mikononi mwao.
ʻE ʻikai hoko ko e ngaahi kofu ʻenau matamata kupenga, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻufiʻufi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi ngāue: he ko ʻenau ngaahi ngāue ko e ngāue ʻae angahala, pea ʻoku ʻi honau nima ʻae ngāue fakamālohi.
7 Miguu yao inakimbilia uovu, na wanakimbilia kumwaga damu isiyo na hatia. Mawazo yao ni mawazo ya dhambi; vurugu na uharibifu ndio njia yao.
ʻOku lele honau vaʻe ki he kovi, pea ʻoku nau fai toʻotoʻo ke lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe taʻehalaia: ko ʻenau ngaahi mahalo ko e ngaahi mahalo ʻoe angahala; ʻoku ʻi honau ngaahi hala ʻae maumau mo e fakaʻauha.
8 Njia ya amani hawaijuyui, na hakuna haki katika njia zao. Wametengeneza njia njia zlizopotoka; yeyote atakaye safiri kupitia njia hizi njia hizi hazijui amani.
Ko e hala ʻoe melino ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻiloʻi; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha angatonu ʻi honau ngaahi ʻaluʻanga: kuo nau ngaohi kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi hala pikopiko: ko ia ʻe ʻalu ai ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ha fiemālie.
9 Hivyo basi haki iko mbali a sisi, wala haki haijatufikia sisi. Tunasubiri mwanga tunaona giza; tunatafuta mwangaza, lakini tunatembea gizani. Tunapapasa kwenywe ukuta kama kipofu, kama wale wasiona,
“Ko ia ʻoku mamaʻo ai meiate kitautolu ʻae fakamaau, pea ʻoku ʻikai hoko mai ʻae angatonu: ʻoku tau tatali ki he maama, kae vakai ko e fakapoʻuli; ki he maama lahi, ka ʻoku tau ʻeveʻeva ʻi he poʻuli.
10 Tuna mashaka mchana kweupe kama kwenye mwanga unaofifia; miongoni mwa wenye nguvu tuko kama watu waliokufa.
ʻOku tau tautaufā ki he ʻā ʻo hangē ko e kui, pea ʻoku tau tautaufā ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻikai hatau mata: ʻoku tau humu ʻi he hoʻatāmālie ʻo hangē ha poʻuli; ʻoku tau ʻi he ngaahi potu lala ʻo hangē ko e kakai mate.
11 Sisi tunaunguruma kama dubu na kuomboleza kama njiwa; tunasubiria haki, lakini hakuna kitu; kwa ukombozi, lakini uko mbali na sisi.
ʻOku tau tangi kotoa pē ʻo tatau mo e fanga pea, pea ʻoku tangi mamahi ʻo hangē ko e kulukulu, ʻoku tau kumi ki he fakamaau, ka ʻoku ʻikai; ki he fakamoʻui, ka ʻoku mamaʻo ia ʻiate kitautolu.
12 Maana makosa yetu mengi yako mbele zako, na dhambi zetu zinatushuhudia sisi; maana makosa yako pamoja na sisi.
He kuo fakalahi ʻemau ngaahi talangataʻa ʻi ho ʻao, pea ʻoku talatalaakiʻi ʻakitautolu ʻe heʻetau ngaahi angahala: he ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu ʻetau ngaahi talangataʻa; pea ko ʻetau ngaahi angahala, ʻoku tau ʻilo ia;
13 Tumeaasi, kumkana Yahwe na kuacha kumfuata Mungu. Tulizungumzia ulafi kujeuka nyuma, na kuanza kulalamika kutoka moyoni na maneno ya uongo.
Ko e meʻa ʻi he angatuʻu mo e lohiakiʻi kia Sihova, mo e ʻalu mei hotau ʻOtua, ʻo lea ki he fakamālohi mo e fakaaoao, ʻi he mahalo ʻaki mo e fakahā mei he loto ʻae ngaahi lea loi.
14 Haki imerudishwa nyuma, wenye haki wamesimama mbali sana; maana ukweli uko mashakani katika mraba wa umma, haki haiwezi kuja.
Pea kuo foki ki mui ʻae fakamaau, pea ʻoku ʻi he mamaʻo ʻae angatonu: he kuo hinga ʻae moʻoni ʻi he hala, pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa hū ki ai ʻae faitotonu.
15 Waaminifu wamenda zao, na yeyote anayegeuka mbali na maovu anajiathiri mwenyewe. Yahwe aliliona hilo na hakupendezwa maana hakuna haki.
ʻIo, kuo mole ʻae moʻoni; pea ʻoku lau ko e faha ʻaia kuo afe mei he kovi: pea naʻe ʻafio ki ai ʻa Sihova, pea naʻe kovi ia ki hono fofonga ʻi he ʻikai ai ha fakamaau.”
16 Aliona kwamba hakuna mtu, na akastaajabu kwamba hakuna mtu wa kuoma. Hivyo basi mkono wake uliletao wakovu kwake, na haki yake unamtosheleza yeye.
“Pea naʻa ne ʻafioʻi ʻoku ʻikai ai ha tangata, pea ofo ia ʻi he ʻikai ha fakalaloa: ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻe hono nima ʻae fakamoʻui kiate ia; pea ko ʻene māʻoniʻoni, naʻe tokoni ia kiate ia.
17 Huivaa haki kama ngao kifuani na kofia ya chuma ya wokovu kichwani mwake. Anajivika mwenyewe kwa mavazi ya kisasi na kuvaa vazi la bidii.
He naʻa ne ʻai ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e kofu fatafata, pea mo e tatā ʻoe fakamoʻui ki hono fofonga; pea ne ai ʻae teunga ʻoe houhau ko e kofu, pea naʻa ne kofuʻaki ʻae loto faivelenga ʻo hangē ko e kofutuʻa.”
18 Analipa tena kwa kilichotokea, hukumu ya hasira kwa adui zake na kwa adui atairidisha adhabu ya kisiwa kama zawadi yao.
ʻO fakatatau ki heʻenau ngaahi faianga, ʻe pehē ʻene totongi, ʻaki ʻae houhau ki he kau angatuʻu, ʻae totongi ki hono ngaahi fili; ki he ngaahi motu te ne fakatatau ʻae totongi.
19 Hivyo wataliogopa jina la Yahwe kutoka magharibi na utukufu wake kutoka mashariki; maana atakuja kama mkondo wa mto, inaendeshwa na pumzi ya Yahwe.
Ko ia te nau manavahē ai ki he huafa ʻo Sihova mei he lulunga, pea mo hono nāunau mei he hopoʻangalaʻā. ʻOka ʻoho mai ʻae fili ʻo hangē ko e vaitafe lahi, ʻe hiki hake ʻe he Laumālie ʻo Sihova ha fuka kiate ia.
20 Mkombozi atakuja Sayuni na wale watkaojeuka kutoka matendo yao ya uasi katika nyumba ya Yakobo- Hili ni tamko la Yahwe.
Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE haʻu ʻae Huhuʻi ki Saione, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku tafoki mei he talangataʻa ʻia Sēkope.
21 Na kama mimi, hili ni agano langu pamoja nao- asema Yahwe- Roho yangu iliyo juu yenu, na maneno yangu niliyoyaweka kinywani mwenu, hayataondoka midomo mwenu au kuodoka mbali na midomo wajukuu wenu, au kwenda mbali asema Yahwe- kuanziia sasa na hata milele.''
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ka ko au, ko ʻeku fuakava eni mo kinautolu; Ko hoku laumālie ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate koe, pea mo ʻeku ngaahi lea kuo u ʻai ki ho ngutu, ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ʻi ho ngutu, pe mei he ngutu ʻo ho hako, pe mei he ngutu ʻoe hako ʻo ho hako, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ngata mei heni ʻo aʻu ʻo taʻengata.”
