ʻIsaia 52
1 Ke ke ʻā, ke ke ʻā; ʻai ho mālohi, ʻE Saione; ʻai ho ngaahi kofu matamatalelei, ʻE Selūsalema, ʻae kolo māʻoniʻoni: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai toe hū kiate koe ʻae taʻekamu mo e taʻemaʻa.
Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.
2 Tupeʻi koe mei he efu; tuʻu hake, pea nofo hifo, ʻE Selūsalema: vete koe mei he ngaahi haʻi ʻo ho kia, ʻE ʻofefine pōpula ʻo Saione.
Shake yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
3 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kuo mou fakatau ʻakimoutolu taʻehatotongi; pea ʻe huhuʻi ʻakimoutolu taʻehapaʻanga.
For Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money.”
4 He ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova, “Naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻi muʻa ʻa hoku kakai ki ʻIsipite ke nofo ai; pea naʻe fakamālohiʻi taʻetotonu ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ʻAsilia.
For the Lord Yahweh says: “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there; and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
5 “Pea ko eni,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko e hā ʻoku ou maʻu ni, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻave taʻehanoʻuhinga ʻa hoku kakai? Ko kinautolu ʻoku pule kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fakaioho mamahi ʻakinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, pea ʻoku kapea maʻu pe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻa hoku huafa.
“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Yahweh, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh, “and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
6 Ko ia ʻe ʻilo ai ʻa hoku huafa ʻe hoku kakai: Pea te nau ʻilo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, Ko au ia ʻoku folofola. “Vakai, ko au ia.
Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks. Behold, it is I.”
7 Hono ʻikai fakaʻofoʻofa ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻae vaʻe ʻo ia ʻoku ʻomi ʻae ongoongolelei, ʻaia ʻoku fakahā ʻae melino; ʻaia ʻoku ʻomi ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe lelei, mo ne fakahā ʻae fakamoʻui; ʻaia ʻoku pehē ki Saione, “ʻOku pule ʻa ho ʻOtua!”
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 ʻE hiki hake ʻae leʻo ʻo ho kau tangata leʻo; pea ʻe fakataha honau leʻo ʻonau hiva: he te nau mamata ko e mata ki he mata, ʻoka toe ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione.
Your watchmen lift up their voice. Together they sing; for they shall see eye to eye when Yahweh returns to Zion.
9 Ke hā mai ʻi he fiefia, hiva fakataha, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi potu lala ʻo Selūsalema, he kuo fakafiemālieʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakai, kuo ne huhuʻi ʻa Selūsalema.
Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Kuo fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻa hono nima ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē; pea ʻe mamata ʻe he ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻae fakamoʻui ʻa hotau ʻOtua.
Yahweh has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
11 ʻAlu ʻakimoutolu, ʻalu ʻakimoutolu, mou ʻalu atu mei ai, ʻoua ʻe ala ki ha meʻa taʻemaʻa; ʻalu ʻakimoutolu mei he lotolotonga ʻo ia; ke maʻa ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mou fua ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻa Sihova.
Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry Yahweh’s vessels.
12 Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te mou ʻalu atu fakavave, pe ʻalu ʻi he hola: he ko Sihova ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu; pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻe muimui ʻiate kimoutolu.
For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight; for Yahweh will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
13 Vakai, ʻe fai fakapotopoto ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ʻe hakeakiʻi ia pea fakaongolelei, pea te ne māʻolunga ʻaupito.
Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high.
14 ʻO hangē naʻe ofo ʻae tokolahi kiate ia, he liliu ʻo kovi hono fofonga ʻo lahi hake ʻi he tangata kotoa pē, mo hono sino ʻo lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.
Just as many were astonished at you— his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—
15 Ko ia te ne taufuʻi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga lahi; ʻe tāpuni ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi honau fofonga kiate ia: he ko ia naʻe ʻikai fakahā kiate kinautolu te nau mamata ki ai; pea ko ia naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo ki ai te nau tokangaʻi.
so he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.
