< ʻIsaia 50 >

1 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kofaʻā ia ʻae tohi ʻoe fakamavae ʻo hoʻo faʻē, ʻaia kuo u tukuange? Pea ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu naʻe totonu ke u totongi ki ai kuo u fakatau ʻakimoutolu ki ai? Vakai, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi hia kuo mou fakatau ʻakimoutolu, pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi angahala ko ia kuo tukuange ai hoʻomou faʻē.
Thus - he says Yahweh where? this [is] [the] document of [the] divorce of mother your which I sent away her or who? [is one] of creditors my whom I sold you to him here! for iniquities your you were sold and for transgressions your she was sent away mother your.
2 Ko e hā, ʻi heʻeku haʻu, naʻe ʻikai ai ha tangata? ʻI heʻeku ui, naʻe ʻikai ha taha ke lea mai? He kuo fakanounou hoku nima, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa faʻa huhuʻi ia? Pe ʻoku ʻikai haku mālohi ke fakamoʻui? Vakai, ʻi heʻeku valoki ʻoku ou fakamōmoa ʻae tahi, ʻoku ou liliu ʻae ngaahi vaitafe ko e toafa: kuo namuaʻa ʻenau ngaahi ika, pea mate ʻi he fieinu koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha vai.
Why? did I come and there not [was] anyone did I call? and there not [was one who] answered ¿ really was it [too] short hand my for ransom and or? [was] there not in me strength to deliver here! by rebuke my I dry up [the] sea I make rivers a wilderness it will stink fish their from not water and it will die by thirst.
3 ‌ʻOku ou fakakofuʻaki ʻae langi ʻae fakapoʻuli, pea ʻoku ou ngaohi ʻae tauangaʻa ko honau kofu.”
I clothe [the] heavens darkness and sackcloth I make covering their.
4 Kuo foaki kiate au ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe poto, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ke lea ʻaki ha lea ʻi he kuonga totonu kiate ia ʻoku vaivai: ʻoku ne ʻa ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, ke ne fafangu hoku telinga ke ongoʻi ʻo hangē ko e poto.
[the] Lord Yahweh he has given to me a tongue of disciples to know to help [the] weary a word he awakens - in the morning in the morning he awakens of me ear to hear like disciples.
5 Kuo fakaava ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻa hoku telinga, pea naʻe ʻikai te u angatuʻu, pe foki kimui.
[the] Lord Yahweh he has opened of me ear and I not I have been rebellious backwards not I have turned back.
6 Ne u ʻatu hoku tuʻa ki he kau taaʻi, pea mo hoku kouʻahe kiate kinautolu naʻe fusi ʻae kava: naʻe ʻikai te u fufū hoku mata mei he mā mo e ʻaʻanu.
Back my I gave to [those who] struck [it] and cheeks my to [those who] made [them] bare face my not I hid from insults and spittle.
7 He ko e ʻEiki ko Sihova ko hoku tokoni; ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te u puputuʻu: ko ia kuo u ngaohi hoku mata ke hangē ko e maka afi, pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻe ʻikai te u mā.
And [the] Lord Yahweh he helps me there-fore not I have been humiliated there-fore I have made face my like flint and I have perceived that not I will be put to shame.
8 ‌ʻOku ofi mai ʻaia ʻoku ne fakatonuhiaʻi au; ko hai te ne fai mo au? Ke ma tutuʻu fakataha: ko hai ʻoku fakafili kiate au? Tuku ke ne ʻunuʻunu mai.
[is] near [the one who] justifies Me who? will he contend with me let us stand together who? [is] [the] master of case my let him draw near to me.
9 Vakai, ʻe tokoniʻi au ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova; ko hai ia te ne fakahalaia au? Vakai, te nau hoko ʻo motuʻa ʻo hangē ko e kofu; ʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ane.
Here! [the] Lord Yahweh he helps me who? he will he condemn as guilty me there! all of them like garment they will wear out moth it will eat them.
10 Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, pea talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he poʻuli, pea ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ha maama? Tuku ke ne falala ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, pea faʻaki ki hono ʻOtua.
Who? among you [is] fearing Yahweh [is] listening to [the] voice of servant his [the one] who - he has walked darkness and not brightness [belongs] to him let him trust in [the] name of Yahweh and let him depend on God his.
11 Vakai, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku tutu ʻae afi, pea kāpui ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi kalofiama: mou ʻeveʻeva ʻi he maama ʻo hoʻomou afi, pea ʻi he ngaahi kalofiama kuo mou tutu, ka te mou maʻu eni ʻi hoku nima; te mou tokoto hifo ʻi he mamahi.
Here! O all of you [who] kindle a fire [who] gird on firebrands walk - by [the] light of fire your and with [the] firebrands [which] you have kindled from hand my it will belong this to you to pain you will lie down!
