ʻIsaia 48

1 “Fanongo ki he meʻa ni, ʻE fale ʻo Sēkope, ʻa koe ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻae hingoa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea kuo haʻu mei he ngaahi matavai ʻo Siuta, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fuakava ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, pea lea ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he moʻoni, pe ʻi he māʻoniʻoni.

Listen to this O house of Jacob those [who] are called by [the] name of Israel and from [the] waters of Judah they came out those [who] swear - by [the] name of Yahweh and [the] God of Israel they bring to remembrance not in truth and not in righteousness.

2 He ʻoku nau lau ʻoku nau ʻoe kolo māʻoniʻoni, pea faʻaki ʻakinautolu ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ko hono huafa ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

For from [the] city of holiness they have called themselves and on [the] God of Israel they have supported themselves [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.

3 Kuo u fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa muʻa mei he kamataʻanga; pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu mei hoku fofonga, pea ne u fakahā ia; naʻaku fai fakafokifā ia, pea hoko ia.

The former [things] from then I declared and from mouth my they went out and I proclaimed them suddenly I acted and they came.

4 Koeʻuhi naʻaku ʻilo ʻoku ke paongataʻa, pea ko e uoua ukamea ho kia, pea palasa ho foʻi laʻē;

For knew I that [were] stubborn you and [was] a sinew of iron neck your and forehead your [was] bronze.

5 Kuo u fakahā ia kiate koe mei he kamataʻanga; ʻi he teʻeki ai hoko ia naʻaku fakahā ia kiate koe: telia naʻa ke pehē, ‘Kuo fai ʻe heʻeku tamapua, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ko ia, mo ʻeku tamapua kuo tongi, mo ʻeku tamapua kuo haka kuo fekau ki ai.’

And I declared [them] to you from then before it came I proclaimed to you lest you should say idol my it did them and carved image my and molten image my it commanded them.

6 Kuo ke tomuʻa fanongo, pea vakai kuo hoko ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē; pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fakahā ia? “Kuo u fakahā atu mei he kuonga ni, ʻae ngaahi meʻa foʻou, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi meʻa lilo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ki ai.

You have heard look at all of it and you ¿ not will you tell I will proclaim to you new [things] from now and secret [things] and not you have known them.

7 ‌ʻOku fakatupu ni ia, kae ʻikai mei he kamataʻanga; ʻio, ʻi muʻaange ʻi he ʻaho ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke fanongo ki ai, telia naʻa ke pehē, “Vakai, naʻaku ʻilo ia.”

Now they have been created and not from then and before a day and not you had heard of them lest you should say here! I knew them.

8 Ko e moʻoni naʻe ʻikai te ke fanongo, ʻio, naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo; ʻio, mei he kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻikai ke fakaava ho telinga: he naʻaku ʻilo te ke fai kākā lahi, pea naʻe ui koe ko e maumau fono mei he manāva.

Neither not you heard nor not you knew nor from then not it opened ear your for I knew certainly you will act treacherously and a rebel from [the] womb it has been called to you.

9 Koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa te u taʻofi hoku houhau, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻeku ongoongolelei te u taʻofi au meiate koe, ke ʻoua naʻaku tuʻusi ʻaupito koe.

For [the] sake of name my I will make long anger my and praise my I will restrain myself to you to not to cut off you.

10 Vakai; kuo u fakamaʻa koe, kae ʻikai ʻaki ʻae siliva; kuo u fili koe mei he afi ʻoe mamahi.

Here! I have refined you and not silver I have chosen you in a furnace of affliction.

11 Koeʻuhi ko au, ʻio, koeʻuhi ko au, te u fai ia: he ko e hā ʻe fakalielia ai ʻa hoku huafa? Pea ʻe ʻikai te u foaki hoku nāunau ki ha tokotaha kehe.

For own sake my for own sake my I will act for how? will it be profaned and glory my to another not I will give.

12 “Fanongo kiate au, ʻe Sēkope pea mo ʻIsileli, ʻa koe kuo u ui; ko au ia; ko au ko e ʻuluaki, pea ko au foki ko e kimui.

Listen to me O Jacob and Israel called [one] my I [am] he I [am] first also I [am] last.

13 Kuo ʻai ʻe hoku nima ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani, pea kuo u hanga ʻae ngaahi langi ʻaki hoku nima toʻomataʻu: ʻo kau ka ui ki ai, ʻoku nau tuʻu hake fakataha.

Also hand my it founded [the] earth and right [hand] my it spread out [the] heavens [am] calling I to them they stand together.

14 “Mou fakataha, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē, pea fanongo; ko hai ʻiate kinautolu kuo ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ui? Kuo ʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate ia: te ne fai ʻene faʻiteliha ki Papilone, pea ʻe ʻi he kakai Kalitia ʻa hono nima.

Gather together all of you and listen who? among them has he declared these [things] Yahweh he loves him he will execute pleasure his on Babylon and arm his [the] Chaldeans.

15 Ko au, ʻio, ko au, kuo u folofola; kuo u ui kiate ia: kuo u ʻomi ia, pea te ne ngaohi ke lelei hono hala.

I I I have spoken also I have summoned him I have brought him and he will make successful way his.

16 “Mou haʻu ke ofi kiate au, fanongo ki he meʻa ni; “talu ʻae kamataʻanga naʻe ʻikai te u lea ʻi he lilo; talu ʻae kuonga naʻe ʻi ai ia, ʻoku ʻi ai au.” Pea ko e ʻEiki ko Sihova, mo hono Laumālie, kuo na fekau au.

Draw near to me listen to this not from [the] beginning in secrecy I have spoken from [the] time happened it [was] there I and now [the] Lord Yahweh he has sent me and spirit his.

17 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko ho Huhuʻi, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli; “Ko au ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku akonakiʻi koe ke ʻaonga, pea ko ia ʻoku tataki koe ʻi he hala ʻoku totonu ke ke ʻalu ai.

Thus he says Yahweh redeemer your [the] holy [one] of Israel I [am] Yahweh God your [who] teaches you to profit [who] leads you in [the] way [which] you will go.

18 ‌ʻAmusiaange ʻe au kuo ke tokanga ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau! Ka ne pehē kuo hangē ko e vaitafe hoʻo fiemālie, pea tatau hoʻo māʻoniʻoni mo e ngaahi peau ʻoe tahi:

If you had paid attention to commandments my and it was like river peace your and righteousness your like [the] waves of the sea.

19 Pea ko ho hako foki kuo hangē ko e ʻoneʻone, pea ko e fua ʻo ho manāva ʻo hangē ko e kilikili ʻoe matātahi; pea ʻe ʻikai tuʻusi pe fakaʻauha hono hingoa mei hoku ʻao.

And it was like the sand offspring your and [the] descendants of inward parts your like grains its not it will be cut off and not it will be destroyed name its from to before me.

20 ‌ʻAlu atu ʻakimoutolu mei Papilone, mou hola mei he kakai Kalitia, mou fakahā ʻaki ʻae lea ʻoe hiva, tala ʻae meʻa ni, lea ʻaki ia ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani; mou pehē, “Kuo huhuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Sēkope.”

Go out from Babylon flee from [the] Chaldeans with a sound of a shout of joy declare proclaim this send out it to [the] end of the earth say he has redeemed Yahweh servant his Jacob.

21 Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau masiva inu ʻi heʻene tataki ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi toafa: naʻa ne pule ke tafe atu ʻae vai mei he maka maʻanautolu: naʻa ne foaʻi ʻae maka, pea naʻe mapuna mei ai ʻae vai.

And not they were thirsty [when] in [the] waste places he led them water from a rock he caused to flow for them and he split open a rock and they flowed out waters.

22 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻoku ʻikai ha fiemālie ki he kakai angahala.”

Not peace he says Yahweh [belongs] to wicked [people].
