Isaiah 27
1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan (sea serpent) the piercing serpent, even leviathan (sea serpent) that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe tautea ʻe Sihova ʻae levaiatani ko e ngata mālohi, ʻaki ʻene heletā māsila mo lahi mo mālohi, ʻio, ʻae levaiatani ko e ngata pikopiko; pea te ne tāmateʻi mo e talākoni ʻoku ʻi he tahi.
2 In that day sing all of you unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia mou hiva kiate ia, ko e ngoue vaine ʻoe uaine kulokula.
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
“Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou tauhi ia: te u fakaviviku ia ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē: telia naʻa maumauʻi ia ʻe ha taha, te u tauhi ia ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō.
4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au ʻae houhau: ko hai te ne fokotuʻu kiate au ʻae ngaahi ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻāmoa ʻi he tau? Te u ʻalu ʻo ʻasi ʻiate kinautolu, te u tutu fakataha ʻakinautolu.
5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
Tuku ke ne puke mai ki hoku mālohi, koeʻuhi ke ne fakalelei mo au pea te ne fakalelei mo au.”
6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
Te ne ngaohi ke aka ʻakinautolu ʻoku haʻu ia Sēkope: ʻe fisi mo moto ʻa ʻIsileli, pea fakafonu ʻae funga ʻo māmani ʻaki ʻae fua.
7 Has he smitten him, as he stroke those that stroke him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
Kuo ne taaʻi ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻene taaʻi ʻakinautolu naʻe taaʻi ia? Pea kuo tāmateʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu kuo tāmateʻi ʻiate ia?
8 In measure, when it shoots forth, you will debate with it: he stays his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
ʻI hoʻo fekau atu ia naʻa ke fuofua kiate ia ʻae fakamaau: ʻoku ne taʻofi ʻa ʻene afā ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe matangi hahake.
9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in two, the groves and images shall not stand up.
Ko ia ko e meʻa ni ʻe fakamaʻa ai ʻae hia ʻa Sēkope; pea te ne maʻu ʻae fua kotoa pē ke ʻave ʻene angahala; ʻoka ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi maka kotoa pē ʻoe ʻesifeilaulauʻanga ke hangē ko e ngaahi maka hinehina ʻaia kuo momosi, ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ki ʻolunga ai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau fakamalumalu mo e ngaahi tamapua.
10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
Ka e lala ʻae kolo kuo teuteu ki he tau, ʻe liʻaki ʻae nofoʻanga, pea ʻe tuku ia ʻo hangē ko e toafa: ʻe kai ai ʻae pulu mui, pea te ne tokoto ʻi ai, ʻo ne keina ʻae ngaahi vaʻa litolito ʻi ai.
11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favour.
ʻOka mae ʻa hono ngaahi vaʻa, ʻe fesiʻi ia: ʻe haʻu ʻae kau fefine ʻo tutu ia: he ko e kakai taʻeʻilo ia: ko ia ia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻikai te ne ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu, pea ko ia naʻa ne fakafuofua ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻikai te ne fakahā ha ʻofa kiate kinautolu.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and all of you shall be gathered one by one, O all of you children of Israel.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe lohuʻi ʻe Sihova hono ngaahi fua, [ʻo fai ]mei he tafeʻanga ʻoe ngaahi vaitafe ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ʻe tānaki ʻakimoutolu ʻo tautau tokotaha, ʻakimoutolu ko e fānau ʻo ʻIsileli.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe ifi ʻae meʻa lea lahi, pea ʻe haʻu ʻakinautolu naʻe meimei mate ʻi ʻAsilia, pea mo e kau ʻāuhē ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea ʻe lotu kia Sihova ʻi he moʻunga tapu ʻi Selūsalema.
