ʻIsaia 14
1 Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova kia Sēkope, pea te ne fili ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻe fokotuʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi honau fonua: pea ʻe fakataha mo kinautolu ʻae kakai muli, pea te nau pikitai ki he fale ʻo Sēkope.
For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.
2 Pea ʻe tataki ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai, ʻo ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau potu: pea ʻe maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he fonua ʻo Sihova ko e kau tamaioʻeiki mo e kau kaunanga: pea te nau fakapōpulaʻi ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau pōpula ki ai; pea te nau puleʻi ʻakinautolu naʻe fakamālohiʻi ʻakinautolu.
The peoples will take them, and bring them to their place. The house of Israel will possess them in the LORD's land for servants and for handmaids. They will take as captives those whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe foaki kiate koe ʻae mālōlō mei hoʻo mamahi, mo hoʻo manavahē, pea mei he pōpula mamahi ʻaia naʻa mou moʻulaloa ki ai.
It will happen in the day that the LORD will give you rest from your sorrow, from your trouble, and from the hard service in which you were made to serve,
4 Te ke toʻo hake ʻae lea mamafa ni ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻo pehē, “Hono ʻikai kuo siʻaki ʻaia naʻe pule fakamālohi! hono ʻikai kuo siʻaki ʻae kolo naʻe faʻa kumi koula!
that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, "How the oppressor has ceased. How the attacker has ceased."
5 Kuo fesiʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae tokotoko ʻoe angakovi, pea mo e fakaʻilonga ʻoe kau pule.
The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers,
6 Ko ia naʻe taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻi he tuputāmaki ʻaki ʻae tautea taʻetuku, ko ia naʻe puleʻi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻi he ʻita, kuo fakatangaʻi ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai taʻofi ʻe ha taha.
who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.
7 ʻOku mālōlō ʻa māmani kotoa pē, pea fiemālie: ʻoku nau kamata hiva fiefia.
The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet. They break out song.
8 ʻIo, ʻoku fiefia ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ko e paini, pea mo e ngaahi sita ʻo Lepanoni, ʻonau pehē, Talu hoʻo tō ki lalo koe, kuo ʻikai haʻu kiate kimautolu ha tangata taʻanga.
Yes, the fir trees rejoice with you, with the cedars of Lebanon, saying, "Since you are humbled, no lumberjack has come up against us."
9 ʻOku ngaue ʻa hētesi mei lalo maʻau ke fakafetaulaki kiate koe ʻi ho haʻu: ʻoku ne ueʻi ʻae mate maʻau, ʻio, ʻae kau tuʻu ki muʻa kotoa pē ʻo māmani; kuo ne fokotuʻu mei honau nofoʻanga ʻae ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol from beneath has moved for you to meet you at your coming. It stirs up the dead for you, even all the rulers of the earth. It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
10 ʻE lea ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻo pehē kiate koe, “Kuo ke hoko ʻo vaivai ʻo hangē ko kimautolu ni? Kuo ke hoko ʻo tatau mo kimautolu ni?”
They all will answer and ask you, "Have you also become as weak as we are? Have you become like us?"
11 Kuo fakahifo hoʻo laukau ki he faʻitoka, pea mo e longoaʻa ʻo hoʻo ngaahi meʻa lea: kuo fofola ʻi lalo ʻiate koe ʻae fanga kelemutu, pea kafu ʻaki koe ʻae fanga kelemutu. (Sheol h7585)
Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with the sound of your stringed instruments. Maggots are spread out under you, and worms cover you. (Sheol h7585)
12 “ʻE Lusifā, ko e foha ʻoe pongipongi! Hono ʻikai tō hifo koe mei he langi! Hono ʻikai tuʻusi ki lalo koe ki he kelekele, ʻa koe ne ke fakavaivaiʻi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga!”
How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn. How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low.
13 He naʻa ke pehē ʻi ho loto, “Te u ʻalu hake ki he langi, te u fokotuʻu ke māʻolunga hake ʻa hoku nofoʻanga ʻi he ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe ʻOtua: pea te u nofo ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe fakatahaʻanga, ʻi he ngaahi potu tokelau:
You said in your heart, "I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north.
14 Te u ʻalu hake ke māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi ʻao; te u tatau mo ia ʻoku māʻolunga taha pe.”
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will make myself like the Most High."
Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the Pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ko kinautolu ʻe mamata kiate koe te nau sio fakamamaʻu kiate koe, pea fakalaulauloto kiate koe, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e tangata koā eni naʻe ngaohi ke tetetete ai ʻa māmani, ʻaia naʻe lulululu ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga;
Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, "Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms;
17 ʻAia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻa māmani ke hangē ko ha toafa, pea ne fakaʻauha hono ngaahi kolo; ʻaia naʻe ʻikai fakaava ʻae fale ʻo ʻene kau pōpula?’”
who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities; who did not release his prisoners to their home?"
18 ʻOku takoto ʻi he nāunau ʻae tuʻi kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻio, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, taki taha ʻi hono fale.
All the kings of the nations lie in splendor, everyone in his own house.
19 Ka kuo lī koe mei ho fonualoto ʻo hangē ko e vaʻa fakalielia, pea hangē ko e kofu ʻokinautolu kuo tāmateʻi, ʻaia kuo hokaʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā, ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he ngaahi maka ʻoe luo; pea hangē ko e ʻangaʻanga kuo malamalaki ʻi he lalo vaʻe.
But you are cast away from your tomb like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, who are thrust through with the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit; like a dead body trodden under foot.
20 ʻE ʻikai fai fakataha ho tanu mo kinautolu, koeʻuhi kuo ke fakaʻauha ho fonua, pea tāmateʻi mo hoʻo kakai: ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ongoongolelei ʻae hako ʻoe fai meʻa kovi.
You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The offspring of evildoers will not be mentioned forever.
21 Teuʻi ʻae fakapō ki heʻene fānau koeʻuhi ko e hia ʻa ʻenau ngaahi tamai; ke ʻoua naʻa nau tuʻu hake, pe maʻu ʻae fonua, pe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae funga ʻo māmani ʻae ngaahi kolo.
Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.
22 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Te u tuʻu hake kiate kinautolu, pea tuʻusi mei Papilone ʻae hingoa, mo hono toenga [kakai], mo e foha, pea mo e fānau ʻa hono foha, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
"I will rise up against them," says the LORD of hosts, "and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son's son," says the LORD.
23 ʻOku pehē foki ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, Te u ngaohi ia ko e potu ʻoe pitani, mo e ngaahi luo vai; pea te u tafi kituʻaniu ia ʻaki ʻae meʻa tafi ʻoe fakaʻauha.”
"I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water. I will sweep it with the broom of destruction," says the LORD of hosts.
24 Kuo fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe hoko ʻo hangē ko ia kuo u fifili ki ai, pea hangē ko ia kuo u tuʻutuʻuni, ko ia pe ʻe tuʻu maʻu:
The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, "Surely, as I have thought, so shall it happen; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:
25 Ke u laiki ʻae tangata ʻAsilia ʻi hoku fonua pea te u malaki hifo ia ʻi hoku ngaahi moʻunga: pea ʻe toki mahuʻi ʻiate kinautolu ʻa ʻene haʻamonga, pea hiki mo ʻene kavenga mei honau uma.
that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.
26 Ko eni ʻae meʻa kuo tuʻutuʻuni ki māmani kotoa pē: pea ko eni ʻae nima kuo mafao atu ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.”
This is the plan that is determined for the whole earth. This is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.
27 He kuo finangalo ki ai ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, pea ko hai te ne taʻofi ia? Pea kuo mafao atu hono nima, pea ko hai te ne fakafoki ia?
For the LORD of hosts has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?"
28 ʻI he taʻu naʻe pekia ai ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasi naʻe fakahā ʻae tala mamafa ni.
This burden was in the year that king Ahaz died.
29 “ʻOua naʻa ke fiefia, ʻe Filisitia kotoa, koeʻuhi kuo fesiʻi ʻae meʻa tā ʻo ia naʻa ne taaʻi koe: koeʻuhi ʻe tupu mai mei he tefito ʻoe ngata ʻae ngata fekai lahi, pea ko hono fua ʻo ia ko e ngata vela ʻoku puna.
Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for out of the serpent's root an adder will emerge, and his fruit will be a fiery flying serpent.
30 Pea ʻe mākona ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻae paea, pea ʻe tokoto ʻi he fiemālie ʻae masiva: pea te u tāmateʻi ho tefito ʻaki ʻae honge, pea te ne taaʻi ho toenga[kakai].
The firstborn of the poor will eat, and the needy will lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and your remnant will be killed.
31 Tangi, ʻae matapā, tāngiloa, ʻae kolo; ʻa koe, ko Filisitia kotoa, kuo mole ʻi he manavahē: koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu mei he tokelau ʻae ʻohuafi, pea ʻe ʻikai he ha tokotaha ʻi heʻene ngaahi kautau.
Howl, gate. Cry, city. You are melted away, Philistia, all of you; for smoke comes out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
32 Pea ko e hā ha lea ʻe tali ʻaki ʻe ha tokotaha ki he kau talafekau mei he puleʻanga? ʻA eni, Kuo langa hake ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione, pea ʻe falala ki ai ʻae kau masiva ʻa hono kakai.”
What then is one to answer the messengers of this nation? That the LORD has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.
