ʻIsaia 47

1 “ʻAlu hifo, pea nofo ʻi he efuefu, ʻE ʻofefine tāupoʻou ʻo Papilone, nofo ʻi he kelekele: ʻE ʻofefine ʻoe kakai Kalitia, ʻoku ʻikai ha nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki: ʻe ʻikai toe ui koe ko e hoihoifua mo e ngalingali ʻeiki.

Go down - and sit on [the] dust O virgin of [the] daughter of Babylon sit to the ground there not [is] a throne O daughter of [the] Chaldeans for not you will repeat people will call you tender and delicate.

2 Toʻo ʻae ngaahi maka momosi, pea momosi ʻae koane: toʻo ʻae pūlou ʻo ho louʻulu, vete ho kofu tōtōlofa, toʻo ʻae ʻufiʻufi ʻo ho vaʻe, aʻa ʻi he ngaahi vaitafe.

Take a hand-mill and grind flour uncover veil your strip off a skirt uncover a leg pass through rivers.

3 ‌ʻE toʻo ʻae ʻufiʻufi ʻo hoʻo telefua, ʻio, ʻe hā hoʻo mā: te u tautea, ʻe ʻikai te u fakafetaulaki kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ha tangata.”

Let it be uncovered nakedness your also let it be visible reproach your vengeance I will take and not I will meet anyone.

4 Pea ko hotau huhuʻi, ko hono huafa ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.

Redeemer our [is] Yahweh of hosts name his [the] holy [one] of Israel.

5 “Nofo fakalongo pē koe, pea ke ʻalu ki he fakapoʻuli, ʻE ʻofefine ʻoe kakai Kalitia: ʻe ʻikai toe ui koe, Ko e fefineʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga.

Sit silently and go in darkness O daughter of [the] Chaldeans for not you will repeat people will call you queen of kingdoms.

6 Naʻaku houhau ki hoku kakai, kuo u fakaʻuli hoku tofiʻa, pea ʻatu ʻakinautolu ki ho nima: naʻe ʻikai te ke fakahā hao kātaki ʻofa ki ai; kuo ke ai ke fakamamafa hoʻo haʻamonga ki he kau mātuʻa.

I was angry towards people my I profaned inheritance my and I gave them in hand your not you appointed to them compassion on [the] old you made heavy yoke your exceedingly.

7 Pea naʻa ke pehē, ‘Te u hoko ko e fefineʻeiki ʻo lauikuonga:’ ko ia naʻe ʻikai te ke tokanga ʻi ho loto ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke manatu ki he ikuʻanga ʻo ia.

And you said for ever I will be a queen until not you put these [things] on heart your not you remembered outcome its.

8 “Ko ia ke ke fanongo ki he meʻa ni, ʻa koe ʻoku ke moʻulaloa ki he ngaahi meʻa fakafiefia fakamaama, ʻoku ke nofo fakafiemālie, ʻoku ke pehē ʻi ho loto, ‘Ko au, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha mo au: ʻe ʻikai te u nofo ʻo hangē ko e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti, pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ʻae mole ʻae fānau:’

And therefore listen to this O voluptuous [woman] who dwells to security who says in heart her I and only I [am] yet not I will live a widow and not I will know childlessness.

9 Ka ko e ongo meʻa ni ʻe ua ʻe hoko kiate koe ʻi he kemo, ʻi ha ʻaho pe taha, ʻae mole ʻae fānau, mo e mate ʻo ho husepāniti: ʻe hoko ia ʻo lahi kiate koe, koeʻuhi ko hono lahi ʻo hoʻo fai kākā, pea koeʻuhi ko hono lahi ʻo hoʻo fiemana.

So they may come to you both of these [things] a moment in a day one childlessness and widowhood according to completeness their they will come on you in [the] abundance of sorceries your in [the] power of spells your very many.

10 He kuo ke faʻaki ki hoʻo angakovi: kuo ke pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai mamata ʻe ha taha kiate au.’ Ko hoʻo poto mo hoʻo ʻilo, kuo na fakahalaʻi koe; pea kuo ke pehē ʻi ho loto, ‘Ko au, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha mo au.’

And you trusted in evil your you said there not [is one who] sees me wisdom your and knowledge your it it has led away you and you said in heart your I and only I [am] yet.

11 Ko ia ʻe hoko ai ʻae kovi kiate koe. E ʻikai te ke ʻilo pe ʻoku tupu mei fe ia. Pea ʻe tō kiate koe ʻae tautea; ʻe ʻikai te ke faʻa taʻofi ia: pea ʻe hoko fakafokifā ʻae fakaʻauha kiate koe, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo.

And it will come on you calamity not you will know to charm away it and it may fall on you disaster not you will be able to cover it and it may come on you suddenly ruin [which] not you will know.

12 “Ke ke tuʻu ni mo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue kākā, pea mo hono lahi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fiemana, ʻaia kuo ke ngāue ai talu hoʻo kei siʻi; ʻo kapau ʻe ʻaonga ia kiate koe, ʻo kapau te ke faʻa lavaʻi ia.

Stand please in spells your and in [the] abundance of sorceries your in which you have labored since youth your perhaps you will be able to profit perhaps you will inspire awe.

13 ‌ʻOku ke ongosia ʻi hono tokolahi ʻo hoʻo kau fakahinohino. Tuku ke tuʻu hake ni ʻae kau kikite ki he langi, mo e kau sio fetuʻu, mo e kau fakaila meʻa mei he māhina, pea fakamoʻui koe mei he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe hoko kiate koe.

You have become weary with [the] abundance of counsels your let them stand please and let them deliver you ([those who] divide *Q(K)*) [the] heavens those [who] look on the stars [those who] make known to the new moons from [the things] which they will come on you.

14 Vakai, te nau hangē ko e kauʻi koane; ʻe tutu ʻakinautolu ʻi he afi; ʻe ʻikai te nau fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he mālohi ʻoe ulo: ʻe ʻikai toe ha malala ke mumū ai, pe ha afi ke nofo ki ai.

There! they have become like chaff a fire it has burned them not they will deliver self their from [the] hand of [the] flame there not [will be] coal to warm them a fire to sit before it.

15 ‌ʻE pehē ʻakinautolu kiate koe ʻaia kuo mou ngāue mo ia, ʻio, ko hoʻo kau fakatau, talu hoʻo kei siʻi: te nau afe taki taha ki hono potu; ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne fakamoʻui koe.

Thus they have become for you [those] whom you have labored traders your since youth your everyone to side his they have wandered there not [is] a deliverer for you.
