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.
Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob; he will again choose Israel and restore them into their own land. Foreigners will join with them and attach themselves to 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 nations will bring them to their own place. Then the house of Israel will take them in the land of Yahweh as male and female servants. They will take captive those who had captured them, and they will 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.
On the day that Yahweh gives you rest from your suffering and anguish, and from the hard labor which you were required to perform,
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!
you will sing this taunt song against the king of Babylon, “How the oppressor has come to an end, the proud fury ended!
5 Kuo fesiʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae tokotoko ʻoe angakovi, pea mo e fakaʻilonga ʻoe kau pule.
Yahweh has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of those 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.
that struck the peoples in wrath with unceasing blows, that ruled the nations in anger, with an attack that was unrestrained.
7 ʻOku mālōlō ʻa māmani kotoa pē, pea fiemālie: ʻoku nau kamata hiva fiefia.
The whole earth is at rest and is quiet; they begin celebrating with singing.
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.
Even the cypress trees rejoice over you with the cedars of Lebanon; they say, 'Since you are laid low, no woodcutter comes up to cut us down.'
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 below is eager to meet you when you go there. It arouses the dead for you, all the kings of the earth, making them rise 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 speak and say to you, 'You have become as weak as us. You have 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 has been brought down to Sheol with the sound of your string instruments. Maggots are spread 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 are fallen from heaven, daystar, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who conquered the nations!
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 had said in your heart, 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the far reaches of the 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 God.'
Yet you are now 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 gaze at you and they will pay attention to you. They will say, 'Is this the man who made the earth 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, who overthrew its cities and did not let his prisoners go 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, all of them lie down in honor, each one in his own tomb.
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 out of your grave like a branch thrown away. The dead cover you like a garment, those pierced by the sword, who go down to the stones of the pit.
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 and killed your people. The offspring of evildoers will never be mentioned again.”
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 your slaughter for his children, for the iniquity of their ancestors, so they will not rise up and possess the earth and fill the whole 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”—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts. “I will cut off from Babylon name, descendant, and posterity”—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 her into a possession of owls, and into pools of water, and I will sweep her with the broom of destruction”—this is the declaration of Yahweh 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:
Yahweh of hosts has sworn, “Surely, as I have intended, so it will come about; and as I have purposed, so it will be:
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.
I will break the Assyrian in my land, and on my mountains trample him underfoot. Then his yoke will be lifted from off them and his burden from off their shoulder.” Then his yoke will be lifted from off them and his burden from off their shoulder.”
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 intended for the whole earth, and this is the hand that is raised 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 Yahweh of hosts has planned this; who will stop him? His hand is raised, and who will turn it back?
28 ʻI he taʻu naʻe pekia ai ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasi naʻe fakahā ʻae tala mamafa ni.
In the year that king Ahaz died this declaration came:
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, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken. For out of the serpent's root will grow out an adder, and his offspring 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 graze their sheep in my pastures, and the needy will lie down in safety. I will kill your root with famine that will put to death all your survivors.
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; all of you will melt away, Philistia. For out of the north comes a cloud of smoke, 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.”
How will they respond to the messengers of that nation? “Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will find refuge.”
