< Isaiah 60 >

1 Rise up to be illuminated, O Jerusalem! For your light has arrived, and the glory of the Lord has risen over you.
“Tuʻu hake, pea ulo; he kuo hoko mai hoʻo maama, pea kuo hā hake ʻiate koe ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova,
2 For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness will cover the peoples. Then the Lord will rise above you, and his glory will be seen in you.
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.
3 And the nations will walk in your light, and the kings will walk by the splendor of your rising.
Pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Senitaile ki hoʻo maama, mo e ngaahi tuʻi ki he maama lahi ʻo hoʻo ʻalu hake.
4 Lift up your eyes all around and see! All these have been gathered together; they have arrived before you. Your sons will arrive from far away, and your daughters will rise up from your side.
“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.
5 Then you will see, and you will overflow, and your heart will be amazed and expanded. When the multitude of the sea will have been converted to you, the strength of the nations will approach you.
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.
6 A multitude of camels will inundate you: the dromedaries from Midian and Ephah. All those from Sheba will arrive, carrying gold and frankincense, and announcing praise to the Lord.
‌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.
7 All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together before you; the rams of Nebaioth will minister to you. They will be offered upon my pleasing altar, and I will glorify the house of my majesty.
‌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.
8 Who are these ones, who fly like the clouds and like doves to their windows?
“Ko hai ʻakinautolu na ʻoku puna ʻo hangē ha ʻao, pea hangē ko e fanga kulukulu ki honau ngaahi matapā?
9 For the islands await me, and the ships of the sea in the beginning, so that I may lead your sons from far away, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of the Lord your God and to the Holy One of Israel. For he has glorified you.
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.
10 And the sons of sojourners will build up your walls, and their kings will minister to you. For in my wrath, I have struck you. And in my reconciliation, I have taken pity on you.
“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.
11 And your gates will be open continually. They will not be closed day or night, so that the strength of the nations may be brought before you, and their kings may be lead in.
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.
12 For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve you will perish. And the Gentiles will be devastated by solitude.
He ko e kakai mo e puleʻanga ʻe ʻikai tauhi kiate koe ʻe ʻauha ia; ʻio, ʻe lala ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia.
13 The glory of Lebanon will arrive before you, the fir tree and the box tree and the pine tree together, to adorn the place of my sanctification. And I will glorify the place of my feet.
“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.
14 And the sons of those who humiliate you will approach and will bow down before you. And all who detract you will reverence the path of your feet. And they will call you the City of the Lord, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
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.
15 For though you were forsaken, and held in hatred, and there was no one who would pass near you, I will establish you as an everlasting glory, as a gladness from generation to generation.
“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.
16 And you will drink the milk of the Gentiles, and you will be nursed at the breasts of kings, and you will know that I am the Lord, your Savior and your Redeemer, the Strong One of Jacob.
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.
17 In exchange for brass, I will bring gold; and in exchange for iron, I will bring silver; and for wood, brass; and for stones, iron. And I will make your visitation into peace, and your leaders into justice.
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.
18 Iniquity will no longer be heard in your land, nor devastation and destruction in your borders. And salvation will occupy your walls, and praise will occupy your gates.
‌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.
19 The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon illuminate you. Instead, the Lord will be an everlasting light for you, and your God will be your glory.
‌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.
20 Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not diminish. For the Lord will be an everlasting light for you, and the days of your mourning will be completed.
‌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.
21 And your people will all be just. They will inherit the earth in perpetuity, the seedling of my planting, the work of my hand, so as to glorify me.
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.
22 The least will become a thousand, and a little one will become a very strong nation. I, the Lord, will accomplish this, suddenly, in its time.
‌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.”
