Isaiah 34

1 Come near, you nations, and give ear; take note, you peoples: let the earth and everything in it give ear; the world and all those living in it.

Haʻu ke ofi, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻo fanongo; pea fakafanongo, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kakai: tuku ke fanongo ʻa māmani, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai; ʻa māmani, mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tupu mei ai.

2 For the Lord is angry with all the nations, and his wrath is burning against all their armies: he has put them to the curse, he has given them to destruction.

He ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻae tuputāmaki ʻa Sihova, mo hono houhau lahi ʻoku ʻi honau ngaahi kongakau kotoa pē: kuo ne fakaʻauha mālie ʻakinautolu, kuo ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ke tāmateʻi.

3 Their dead bodies will be thick on the face of the earth, and their smell will come up, and the mountains will be flowing with their blood, and all the hills will come to nothing.

Mo ʻenau mate foki ʻe lī kituʻa, pea ʻe ʻalu hake ʻae namuhāhā mei honau ʻangaʻanga, pea ʻe molū ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi honau toto.

4 And the heavens will be rolled together like the roll of a book: and all their army will be gone, like a dead leaf from the vine, or a dry fruit from the fig-tree.

Pea ʻe vela ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi kautau kotoa pē ʻoe langi, pea ʻe tākai ʻae ngaahi langi ʻo hangē ko e takainga pepa: pea ʻe tō ki lalo ʻa honau tokolahi, ʻo hangē ko e ngangana ʻoe lau mei he vaine, pea tatau mo e fiki ʻoku tō mei he ʻakau ko e fiki.

5 For my sword in heaven is full of wrath: see, it is coming down on Edom, in punishment on the people of my curse.

He kuo toʻo ʻa ʻeku heletā ʻi he langi: Vakai, ʻe ʻalu hifo ia ki Itumia, pea ki he kakai ʻo hoku houhau, ke totongi.

6 The sword of the Lord is full of blood, it is fat with the best of the meat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the best parts of the sheep: for the Lord has a feast in Bozrah, and much cattle will be put to death in the land of Edom.

Kuo fonu ʻae heletā ʻa Sihova ʻi he toto, kuo pani ia ʻi he ngako, pea ʻi he toto ʻoe fanga lami mo e fanga kosi, ʻi he ngako ʻoe kofuua ʻoe fanga sipitangata: he ʻoku ʻia Sihova ʻae feilaulau ʻi Posela, pea mo e tāmateʻi lahi ʻi he fonua ko Itumia.

7 And the strong oxen will go down to death together with the smaller cattle.

Pea ʻe ʻalu hifo mo kinautolu ʻae fanga liimi, mo e fanga pulu fakataha mo e fanga pulu tangata; pea ʻe konā honau fonua ʻi he toto, pea ʻe koloaʻia ʻae kelekele ʻi he ngako.

8 For it is the day of the Lord's punishment, when he gives payment for the wrongs done to Zion.

He ko e ʻaho ia ʻoe houhau ʻo Sihova, pea ko e taʻu ʻoe ngaahi totongi kiate ia ʻoku fakahaofi ʻa Saione.

9 And its streams will be turned into boiling oil, and its dust into burning stone, and all the land will be on fire.

Pea ʻe liliu ʻae ngaahi vaitafe ʻo ia ko e pulu, pea mo e efu ʻo ia ko e sulifa, pea ko e fonua ko ia ʻe hoko ko e pulu vela.

10 It will not be put out day or night; its smoke will go up for ever: it will be waste from generation to generation; no one will go through it for ever.

‌ʻE ʻikai fuʻifuʻi ia ʻi he pō pe ʻi he ʻaho; ʻe ʻalu hake taʻengata ʻae kohu mei ai: ʻe lala ia mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata; ʻe ʻikai fou ai ha taha ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.

11 But the birds of the waste land will have their place there; it will be a heritage for the bittern and the raven: and it will be measured out with line and weight as a waste land.

Ka e maʻu ia ʻe he komolaniti pea mo e pitane; ʻe nofo ai ʻae lulu mo e leveni: pea te ne falō ki ai ʻae afo ʻae fakaʻauha, pea mo e fua ʻoe fakaʻosiʻosi.

12 The jackals will be there, and her great ones will be gone; they will say, There is no longer a kingdom there, and all her chiefs will have come to an end.

Te nau ui honau houʻeiki ki he puleʻanga, ka e ʻikai ha taha ʻi ai, pea ko e meʻa noa pe hono houʻeiki kotoa pē.

13 And thorns will come up in her fair houses, and waste plants in her strong towers: and foxes will make their holes there, and it will be a meeting-place for ostriches.

Pea ʻe tutu ʻae ʻakau talatala ʻi hono ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki, ko e ʻakau veli mo e ʻakau talatala ʻi hono ngaahi kolo: pea ʻe hoko ia ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe fanga talākoni, pea ko e potu ʻoe fanga lulu.

14 And the beasts of the waste places will come together with the jackals, and the evil spirits will be crying to one another, even the night-spirit will come and make her resting-place there.

‌ʻE fetaulaki ʻae manu fekai ʻoe toafa mo e manu fekai ʻoe motu, pea ʻe tangi ʻae sataia ki hono toko ua; pea ʻe mālōlō ai ʻae lulu ʻoku tangi, pea ʻilo ai moʻona ha mālōlōʻanga.

15 The arrowsnake will make her hole and put her eggs there, and get her young together under her shade: there the hawks will come together by twos.

‌ʻE ngaohi ʻi ai ʻe he motuʻa lulu hono pununga, pea fakatō, pea fōfoaʻi, pea tānaki ki hono malumalu: ʻe tānaki foki ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi volita, taki taha mo hono hoa.

16 See what is recorded in the book of the Lord: all these will be there, not one without the other: the mouth of the Lord has given the order, and his spirit has made them come together.

Kumi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he tohi ʻa Sihova, pea lau; ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe taʻehoko, ʻe ʻikai masiva ha taha ʻi hono hoa: he kuo fekau ia ʻe hoku ngutu, pea ko hono laumālie kuo tānaki ʻe ia ʻakinautolu.

17 And he has given them their heritage, and by his hand it has been measured out to them: it will be theirs for ever, their resting-place from generation to generation.

Pea kuo ne talotalo ʻe ia maʻanautolu, pea ko hono nima kuo vaheʻi ia kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae afo: te nau maʻu ia ʻo lauikuonga, pea te nau nofo ai mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.
