< Isaiah 63 >

1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bosra, this beautiful one in his robe, walking in the greatness of his strength. I, that speak justice, and am a defender to save.
Ko hai eni ʻoku haʻu mei ʻItomi, mo e kofu kulokula mei Posila? ʻA eni ʻoku nāunauʻia hono kofu, ʻo ne hāʻele ʻi he lahi ʻo hono mālohi? “Ko au ia ʻoku folofola ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, ko e māfimafi ke fakamoʻui.”
2 Why then is thy apparel red, and thy garments like theirs that tread in the winepress?
Ko e hā ʻoku kulokula ai ho ngaahi kofu, pea tatau ho ngaahi kofu mo ia ʻoku molomoloki ʻi he tataʻoʻanga uaine?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the Gentiles there is not a man with me: I have trampled on them in my indignation, and have trodden them down in my wrath, and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my apparel.
“Kuo u molomoloki tokotaha pe ʻae tataʻoʻanga ʻoe uaine; pea naʻe ʻikai kau ha tokotaha kiate au: ne u molomoloki ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻeku ʻita, pea moeʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi hoku houhau lahi; pea kuo pani hoku kofuʻaki honau toto, pea ne u ngaohi ke lanu hoku ngaahi kofu kotoa pē.
4 For the day of vengeance is in my heart, the year of my redemption is come.
He ʻoku ʻi hoku loto ʻae ʻaho ʻoe fai totongi, pea kuo hokosia ʻae taʻu ʻo hoku huhuʻi.
5 I looked about, and there was none to help: I sought, and there was none to give aid: and my own arm hath saved for me, and my indignation itself hath helped me.
Pea ne u vakai, pea naʻe ʻikai ha taha ke tokoni; pea ne u ofo ʻi he ʻikai ha taha ke poupou hake: ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻe hoku nima ʻoʻoku ʻae fakamoʻui kiate au; pea ko hoku houhau, naʻa ne poupou au.
6 And I have trodden down the people in my wrath, and have made them drunk in my indignation, and have brought down their strength to the earth.
Pea ne u molomoloki ʻae kakai ʻi hoku houhau, pea ngaohi ke nau konā ʻi he houhau lahi, pea ne u ʻomi ʻenau mālohi ki he kelekele.”
7 I will remember the tender mercies of the Lord, the praise of the Lord for all the things that the Lord hath bestowed upon us, and for the multitude of his good things to the house of Israel, which he hath given them according to his kindness, and according to the multitude of his mercies.
Te u fakahā ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova, mo e ngaahi fakamālō ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kitautolu, pea mo e angalelei lahi ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko ʻene ngaahi ʻaloʻofa, ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻaupito ʻo ʻene ʻaloʻofa ongongofua.
8 And he said: Surely they are my people, children that will not deny: so he became their saviour.
He naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu, ko e fānau ʻe ʻikai te nau loi;” pea naʻe hoko ia ko honau Fakamoʻui.
9 In all their affliction he was not troubled, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love, and in his mercy he redeemed them, and he carried them and lifted them up all the days of old.
‌ʻI heʻenau mamahi kotoa pē naʻe mamahi ia, pea ko e ʻāngelo ʻo hono ʻao naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu: ʻi heʻene ʻofa mo ʻene manavaʻofa naʻa ne huhuʻi ʻakinautolu: pea ne toʻo hake ʻakinautolu, mo fua ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi muʻa.
10 But they provoked to wrath, and afflicted the spirit of his Holy One: and he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.
Ka naʻa nau angatuʻu, pea fakamamahi ki hono Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni: ko ia naʻe liliu ai ia ko honau fili, pea naʻa ne tauʻi ʻakinautolu.
11 And he remembered the days of old of Moses, and of his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea, with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put in the midst of them the spirit of his Holy One?
Pea naʻa ne manatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa, kia Mōsese, mo hono kakai, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻi fē ia naʻe ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he tahi, fakataha mo e tauhi ʻo ʻene fanga sipi? ʻOku ʻi fē ia ʻaia naʻe ʻai kiate ia hono Laumālie māʻoniʻoni?
12 He that brought out Moses by the right hand, by the arm of his majesty: that divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name.
‌ʻAia naʻe tataki ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻo Mōsese, ʻaki ʻa hono nima nāunauʻia, ʻo vaheʻi ʻae vai ʻi honau ʻao, ke ngaohi moʻona ha huafa taʻengata?
13 He that led them out through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness that stumbleth not.
‌ʻAia naʻe tataki ʻakinautolu ʻi he moana, ʻo hangē ko e hoosi ʻi he toafa, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua te nau tūkia?”
14 As a beast that goeth down in the field, the spirit of the Lord was their leader: so didst thou lead thy people to make thyself a glorious name.
‌ʻO hangē ko e ʻalu hifo ʻae fanga manu ki he vahaʻa moʻunga, naʻe ngaohi ia ʻe he Laumālie ʻo Sihova ke mālōlō: naʻe pehē hoʻo tataki ʻa hoʻo kakai, ke ngaohi moʻou ha huafa ongoongolelei.
15 Look down from heaven, and behold from thy holy habitation and the place of thy glory: where is thy zeal, and thy strength, the multitude of thy bowels, and of thy mercies? they have held back themselves from me.
‌ʻAfio hifo mei he langi, pea vakai mei he ʻafioʻanga ʻo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni pea mo ho nāunau: kofaʻā ia hoʻo ʻofa mo hoʻo māfimafi, ʻae ngaue ʻo hoʻo manavaʻofa pea mo hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa kiate au? Kuo ke taʻofi ia?
16 For thou art our father, and Abraham hath not known us, and Israel hath been ignorant of us: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer, from everlasting is thy name.
Ko e moʻoni ko ʻemau tamai koe, neongo ʻoku taʻeʻilo ʻakimautolu ʻe ʻEpalahame, pea taʻetokangaʻi ʻakimautolu ʻe ʻIsileli: ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ko ʻemau tamai, ko homau huhuʻi; talu mei muʻa ʻoku taʻetupu ʻa ho huafa.
17 Why hast thou made us to err, O Lord, from thy ways: why hast thou hardened our heart, that we should not fear thee? return for the sake of thy servants, the tribes of thy inheritance.
‌ʻE Sihova, ko e hā kuo ke tuku ai ʻakimautolu ke mau hē mei ho ngaahi hala, pea fakafefeka homau loto ke ʻoua te mau manavahē kiate koe? Toe tafoki mai koeʻuhi ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ho tofiʻa.
18 They have possessed thy holy people as nothing: our enemies have trodden down thy sanctuary.
Kuo maʻu fuonounou pe ia ʻe he kakai ʻa hoʻo māʻoniʻoni: kuo molomoloki ʻe homau ngaahi fili ʻa ho fale tapu.
19 We are become as in the beginning, when thou didst not rule over us, and when we were not called by thy name.
‌ʻOku ʻaʻau ʻakimautolu: naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ke puleʻi ʻakinautolu; naʻe ʻikai ui ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻa ho huafa.
