ʻIsaia 60

1 “Tuʻu hake, pea ulo; he kuo hoko mai hoʻo maama, pea kuo hā hake ʻiate koe ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova,

Arise—shine, For thy light, hath come, —And, the glory of Yahweh, on thee, hath beamed;

2 He vakai, ʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻe he poʻuli ʻa māmani, mo e poʻuli matolu ʻae kakai: ka e hopo hake ʻa Sihova kiate koe, pea ʻe hā hono nāunau ʻiate koe.

For lo! darkness, covereth the earth, And, deep gloom the peoples, —But, on thee, beameth Yahweh, And, his glory, on thee is seen.

3 Pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Senitaile ki hoʻo maama, mo e ngaahi tuʻi ki he maama lahi ʻo hoʻo ʻalu hake.

So shall nations come to thy light, And kings to the brightness of thy dawning.

4 “Hiki hake ho mata ʻo sio takatakai, pea mamata: ʻoku nau tānaki fakataha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻoku nau haʻu kiate koe: ʻe haʻu ho ngaahi foha mei he mamaʻo, pea ʻe faʻaki ki ho vakavaka ho ngaahi ʻofefine.

Lift up—round about—thine eyes and see, They all, have gathered themselves together—have come to thee, —Thy sons, from afar shall come, And thy daughters, on the side, shall be carried.

5 Pea te ke toki mamata, pea tānaki fakataha, pea ʻe manavahē ho loto, pea ʻe fakalahi ia; koeʻuhi ʻe fakatafoki kiate koe ʻae koloa ʻoe tahi, ʻe haʻu kiate koe ʻae koloa ʻoe ngaahi Senitaile.

Then, shalt thou see and be radiant, And thy heart, shall throb and be enlarged, —For there shall be turned upon thee the fulness of the sea, The riches of the nations, shall come unto thee;

6 ‌ʻE ʻufiʻufi ʻaki koe ʻae fanga kāmeli lahi, ko e fanga kāmeli ʻo Mitiani mo ʻEfaa; ʻakinautolu kotoa pē mei Sipa te nau haʻu: te nau ʻomi ʻae koula mo e meʻa namu kakala; pea te nau fakahā ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo Sihova.

The multitude of camels, shall cover thee The young camels of Midian and Ephah, All they of Sheba, shall come, —Gold and frankincense, shall they bring, And, the praises of Yahweh, shall they joyfully tell:

7 ‌ʻE tānaki kiate koe ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻo Keta, ʻae fanga sipitangata ʻo Nepeoti te nau tokoni kiate koe: te u fiemālie ʻi he ʻohake ia ki hoku feilaulauʻanga, pea te u fakaongoongolelei ʻae fale ʻo hoku nāunau.

All the flocks of Kedar, shall be gathered unto thee, The rams of Nebaioth, shall wait upon thee, —They shall come up, with acceptance, on mine altar, And my beautiful house, will I adorn.

8 “Ko hai ʻakinautolu na ʻoku puna ʻo hangē ha ʻao, pea hangē ko e fanga kulukulu ki honau ngaahi matapā?

Who are these that, As a cloud, do fly? and, As doves to their cotes?

9 Ko e moʻoni ʻe tatali kiate koe ʻae ʻotu motu, pea ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻae ngaahi vaka ʻo Tasisi, ke ʻomi ho ngaahi foha mei he mamaʻo, ʻa ʻenau siliva mo ʻenau koula fakataha mo kinautolu, ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ki he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi kuo ne fakaongoongoleleiʻi koe.

Surely for me, shall, Coastlands, wait, And the ships of Tarshish first, To bring in thy sons, from far, Their silver and their gold with them, —Unto the name of Yahweh, thy God, And unto the Holy One of Israel Because he hath adorned thee.

10 “Pea ʻe toe langa ho ʻa ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻoe muli, pea ʻe tauhi kiate koe honau ngaahi tuʻi: he naʻaku taaʻi koe ʻi hoku houhau, ka ʻi heʻeku ʻofa kuo u ʻaloʻofa kiate koe.

So shall the sons of the foreigner, build thy walls, And their kings, shall wait upon thee, —For in my vexation, I smote thee, But in my favour, have I had compassion upon thee.

11 Ko ia ʻe ava maʻuaipē ho ngaahi matapā; ʻe ʻikai tāpuni ia ʻi he ʻaho pe ʻi he pō; koeʻuhi ke ʻomi kiate koe ʻae koloa ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, pea ke ʻomi mo honau ngaahi tuʻi.

So shall thy gates be open—continually, Neither day nor night, shall they be shut, —That they may bring unto thee the riches of the nations, And their kings, be led.

12 He ko e kakai mo e puleʻanga ʻe ʻikai tauhi kiate koe ʻe ʻauha ia; ʻio, ʻe lala ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia.

For, the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee, shall perish, —Yea the nations, shall be utterly wasted.

13 “ʻE ʻomi kiate koe ʻae nāunau ʻo Lepanoni, ʻae ʻakau ko e fea, mo e ʻakau ko e paini, fakataha mo e pokesi, ke teuteu ʻaki ʻae potu ʻo hoku fale tapu; pea te u ngaohi ʻae potu ʻo hoku tuʻunga vaʻe ke nāunauʻia.

The glory of Lebanon, unto thee, shall come, The fir-tree the holm-oak, and the sherbin-cedar, together, To adorn the place of my sanctuary, And the place of my feet, will I make glorious.

14 Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻokinautolu naʻe fakamamahiʻi koe, te nau haʻu ʻo hū kiate koe; pea ko kinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate koe te nau punou ʻakinautolu ki ho ʻaofivaʻe; pea te nau ui koe, Ko e kolo ʻa Sihova, Ko e Saione ʻoe tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.

Then shall come unto thee bending low, The sons of them who had humbled thee, Then shall bow down, unto the soles of thy feet, All they who had despised thee; And they shall call thee—The city of Yahweh, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

15 “Ko e meʻa ʻi he liʻaki koe mo e fehiʻa kiate koe, koeʻuhi ʻikai fou ha tangata ʻiate koe, te u ngaohi koe ko e lelei taʻengata, ko e fiefiaʻanga ʻoe toʻutangata toko lahi.

Instead of thy being forsaken and hated so that none used to pass through thee, I will make of thee—An excellency age-abiding, The joy of generation after generation.

16 Pea te ke huhu ʻi he huʻahuhu ʻoe ngaahi Senitaile, pea mimisi ʻi he huhu ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi: pea te ke ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko ho Fakamoʻui, mo ho Huhuʻi, ko e Toko Taha Māfimafi ʻo Sēkope.

And thou shalt derive sweet nourishment from the nations, Yea on the bounty of kings, shalt thou be sustained, —So shalt thou know—That, I, Yahweh, am thy Saviour, and That, thy Redeemer, is the Mighty One of Jacob.

17 Te u ʻomi ʻae koula ko e fetongi ʻoe palasa, pea te u ʻomi ʻae siliva ko e fetongi ʻoe ukamea, pea ko e palasa ko e fetongi ʻoe ʻakau, pea ko e ukamea ko e fetongi ʻoe maka: pea te u ngaohi ho kau fakamaau ko e melino, pea mo ho kau pule ko e māʻoniʻoni.

Instead of bronze, I will bring in, gold, and Instead of iron, I will bring in silver, and Instead of wood, bronze, and Instead of stones, iron, —And I will appoint the oversight of thee to Prosperity, And the setting of thy tasks to Righteousness.

18 ‌ʻE ʻikai toe fanongo ki ha fakamālohi ʻi ho fonua, ʻae maumau pe ʻae fakaʻauha ʻi ho ngataʻanga; he te ke ui ho ngaahi ʻā koe Fakamoʻui, mo ho ngaahi matapā ko e Fakamālō.

Violence, shall no more be heard, in thy land, Wasting nor destruction within thy boundaries, —But thou shalt call Thy walls, Victory, and Thy gates, Praise.

19 ‌ʻE ʻikai toe hoko ʻae laʻā ko hoʻo maama ʻi he ʻaho; pe ko e ulo ʻoe māhina ko e maama kiate koe: ka e hoko ʻa Sihova ko e maama taʻengata kiate koe, pea ko ho nāunau ʻa ho ʻOtua.

Thou shalt no more have the sun, for light by day, neither for brightness, shall the moon, give light unto thee, —But Yahweh shall become thine age-abiding light, And thy God thine adorning:

20 ‌ʻE ʻikai toe tō hifo hoʻo laʻā, pea ʻe ʻikai toe fufū ʻe ia hoʻo māhina: koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ʻa Sihova ko hoʻo maama taʻengata, pea ʻe ngata ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo mamahi.

No more shall go in, thy sun, Nor thy moon, withdraw itself, —For, Yahweh, will become to thee an age-abiding light, So shall be ended the days of thy mourning.

21 Pea ʻe māʻoniʻoni foki ʻa hoʻo kakai kotoa pē; te nau maʻu ʻae fonua ʻo taʻengata, ko e vaʻa naʻaku tō, ko e ngāue ʻa hoku nima, koeʻuhi ke u ongoongolelei ai.

And, thy people, shall all of them, be righteous, To times age-abiding, shall they possess, the land, —The sprout of mine own planting, The work of mine own hands, —That I may get myself glory.

22 ‌ʻE hoko ʻae tokotaha ʻoku siʻi ko e toko afe, mo e tokotaha ʻoku iiki ko e puleʻanga mālohi: ko au ko Sihova te u fakavave ia ʻi hono kuonga.”

The little one, shall become a thousand, and the small one, a mighty nation: I—Yahweh, in its own season, will hasten it.
