ʻIsaia 25

1 ‌ʻE Sihova, ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua; te u fakahikihikiʻi koe, te u fakamālō ki ho huafa; he kuo ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo; ko hoʻo ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻi muʻa ko e angatonu mo e moʻoni.

O Yahweh [are] God my you I will exalt you I will give thanks to name your for you have done wonder[s] plans from distant [time] faithfulness faithfulness.

2 He kuo ke liliu ʻae kolo ko e fokotuʻunga ʻotoʻota; ʻae kolo naʻe ai hono ʻā ko e tuʻunga fale kuo maumau: ʻae nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe kakai muli ke lala: ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito toe langa ia.

For you have made from a city into heap a town fortified into a ruin a fortress of strangers from a city for ever not it will be rebuilt.

3 Ko ia ʻe fakaongoongoleleiʻi koe ʻe he kakai mālohi, ʻe manavahē kiate koe ʻae kolo ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga fakailifia.

There-fore they will honor you a people strong a town of nations ruthless they will fear you.

4 He naʻa ke hoko ko e tokoni ki he kakai paea, ko e mālohi ki he masiva ʻi heʻene mamahi, ko e hūfanga mei he afā, ko e malumalu mei he pupuha ʻoka tatau ʻae tuʻoni matangi ʻoe kakai fakailifia mo e afā ʻoku faʻaki ki he ʻā maka.

For you have been a refuge for the poor [person] a refuge for the needy [person] when it was distress to him a shelter from rainstorm a shade from heat for [the] breath of ruthless [people] [is] like a rainstorm of a wall.

5 Te ke ʻohifo ki lalo ʻae longoaʻa ʻoe kakai muli, ʻo hangē ko e laʻā ʻi he potu mōmoa; ʻio, ke pupuha ʻi he malu ʻo ha ʻao; ʻe fakavaivaiʻi ʻae vaʻa ʻoe kakai fakamanavahē.

Like heat in a dry land [the] uproar of strangers you will subdue heat in [the] shade of a cloud [the] song of ruthless [people] he will quieten.

6 Pea ʻe teuteu ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻi he moʻunga ni ʻae kātoanga ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei ki he kakai kotoa pē, ko e kātoanga ʻoe uaine motuʻa, ʻoe ngaahi meʻa momona ʻoku fonu ʻi he ngako ʻoe hui, mo e uaine motuʻa kuo maʻa ʻaupito.

And he will make Yahweh of hosts for all the peoples on the mountain this a feast of fat things a feast of old wine fat things full of marrow old wine refined.

7 Pea te ne maumauʻi ʻi he moʻunga ni ʻae ʻufiʻufi ʻoku fakapulou ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, pea mo e pūlou kuo fofola ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.

And he will swallow up on the mountain this [the] surface of the covering - which covers over all the peoples and the woven stuff which is woven over all the nations.

8 Te ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻae mate ʻi he mālohi; pea ʻe holoholo ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻae ngaahi loʻimata mei he mata kotoa pē; pea ko e valoki ʻo hono kakai te ne toʻo mei he fonua kotoa pē: he kuo folofola pehē ʻa Sihova.

He will swallow up death to perpetuity and he will wipe away [the] Lord Yahweh tear[s] from on every face and [the] reproach of people his he will remove from on all the earth for Yahweh he has spoken.

9 Pea ʻe fai ʻae lea ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, “Vakai, ko hotau ʻOtua eni; naʻa tau tatali kiate ia, pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu: ko eni ʻa Sihova; naʻa tau tatali kiate ia, pea te tau fiefia mo nekeneka ʻi heʻene fakamoʻui.”

And someone will say in the day that here! [is] God our this we have waited for him and he will save us this [is] Yahweh we have waited for him let us be glad and let us rejoice in salvation his.

10 Koeʻuhi ʻe nofomaʻu ʻae nima ʻo Sihova ʻi he moʻunga ni, pea ʻe molomoloki hifo ʻiate ia ʻa Moape, ʻio, ʻo hangē ʻoku molomoloki ʻae mohuku mōmoa ʻi he tuʻunga ʻotoʻota.

For it will rest [the] hand of Yahweh on the mountain this and it will be trampled down Moab in place its as is trampled down a heap of straw (in *Q(K)*) a dung hill.

11 Pea te ne mafao atu hono nima ki he lotolotonga ʻokinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e mafao ʻae nima ʻo ha taha ʻoku kakau: pea te ne ʻohifo ʻene laukau fakataha mo e ngaahi filioʻi ʻo hono nima.

And it will spread out hands its in midst its just as he spreads [them] out swimmer to swim and he will bring low haughtiness its with [the] tricks of hands its.

12 Pea ko e fale māʻolunga ʻoe puke ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ʻā maka te ne ʻohifo, ʻo fakatoka lafalafa ki lalo, pea ʻomi ki he kelekele, ʻio, ki he efu.

And [the] fortification of [the] refuge of walls your he will lay low he will bring [it] low he will make [it] touch the ground to [the] dust.
