Isaiah 24

1 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth emptie, and hee maketh it waste: hee turneth it vpside downe, and scattereth abrode the inhabitants thereof.

Vakai, ʻoku fakamaha ʻe Sihova ʻae fonua, mo fakalala ia, mo ne fulihi ia, pea fakamovetevete ʻa hono kakai.

2 And there shalbe like people, like Priest, and like seruaunt, like master, like maide, like mistresse, like bier, like seller, like lender, like borower, like giuer, like taker to vsurie.

Pea ʻe pehē pe, hangē ko ia ʻoku ʻi he kakai, ʻe pehē pe ki he taulaʻeiki; hangē ko e tamaioʻeiki, ʻe pehē pe ki heʻene ʻeiki; hangē ko e kaunanga, ʻe pehē pe ki heʻene ʻeiki fefine; hangē ko e tangata fakatau mai, ʻe pehē pe ki he tangata fakatau atu; hangē ko ia ʻoku tali ʻae nono, ʻe pehē pe ki he tangata kole; hangē ko ia ʻoku ʻi he tangata maʻu totongi nō paʻanga, ʻe pehē ʻi he tangata ʻoku ʻatu ʻae totongi nō paʻanga kiate ia.

3 The earth shalbe cleane emptied, and vtterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this worde.

‌ʻE fakamaha ʻaupito ʻae fonua, pea fakaʻauha ia: he kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae folofola ni.

4 The earth lamenteth and fadeth away: the world is feeble and decaied: the proude people of the earth are weakened.

‌ʻOku mamahi ʻae fonua pea mae ia, ʻoku vaivai ʻa māmani pea ʻoku mae, ʻoku vaivai ʻae kakai fieʻeiki ʻoe fonua.

5 The earth also deceiueth, because of the inhabitantes thereof: for they transgressed the lawes: they changed the ordinances, and brake the euerlasting couenant.

Kuo ʻuliʻi foki ʻae fonua ʻi hono kakai; koeʻuhi kuo nau maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi fono, ʻo liliu ʻae tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo maumauʻi ʻae fuakava taʻengata.

6 Therefore hath the curse deuoured the earth, and the inhabitantes thereof are desolate. Wherefore the inhabitants of the land are burned vp, and fewe men are left.

Ko ia kuo ʻauha ai ʻae fonua ʻi he malaʻia, pea ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai ʻoku nau mamahi: ko ia kuo tutu ai ʻae kakai ʻo māmani, pea ʻoku toe ʻae tangata tokosiʻi pe.

7 The wine faileth, the vine hath no might: all that were of merie heart, doe mourne.

‌ʻOku mamahi ʻae uaine foʻou, ʻoku vaivai ʻae vaine, ʻoku toʻe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe loto fiefia.

8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth: the noyse of them that reioyce, endeth: the ioye of the harpe ceaseth.

Kuo ngata ʻae fakafiefia ʻoe ngaahi lali, kuo ʻosi ʻae longoaʻa ʻokinautolu naʻe fiefia, kuo ngata ʻae fakafiefia ʻoe haʻape.

9 They shall not drinke wine with mirth: strong drinke shall be bitter to them that drinke it.

‌ʻE ʻikai te nau kei inu uaine mo e hiva; ʻe kona ʻae kava mālohi kiate kinautolu ʻoku inu ia.

10 The citie of vanitie is broken downe: euery house is shut vp, that no man may come in.

Kuo maumauʻi hifo ʻae kolo ʻoe maveuveu: kuo tāpuni ʻae ngaahi fale kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hū ki ai ha tangata.

11 There is a crying for wine in the streetes: al ioy is darkened: the mirth of the world is gone away.

‌ʻOku ai ʻae tangi ki he uaine ʻi he ngaahi hala; kuo fakapoʻuli ʻae fiefia kotoa pē, kuo mole ʻae fiefia ʻi he fonua.

12 In the citie is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

Kuo tuku ʻi he kolo ʻae fakaʻauha, pea kuo taaʻi ke lailai hono ngaahi matapā.

13 Surely thus shall it bee in the middes of the earth, among the people, as the shaking of an oliue tree, and as the grapes when the vintage is ended.

ʻOku hoko ʻo pehē ki he kakai ʻoe loto fonua, ʻe ai ʻo hangē ko e lulululu ʻoe ʻakau ko e ʻolive, pea hangē ko e toenga kālepi ʻoka hili hono tānaki mei he vaine.

14 They shall lift vp their voyce: they shall shout for the magnificence of the Lord: they shall reioyce from the sea.

Te nau hiki hake honau leʻo, te nau hiva koeʻuhi ko e māʻolunga ʻa Sihova, te nau kalanga mei he tahi.

15 Wherefore praise yee the Lord in the valleis, euen the Name of the Lord God of Israel, in the yles of the sea.

Ko ia ke mou fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngaahi afi, ʻio, ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi ʻotu motu ʻoe tahi.

16 From the vttermost part of the earth wee haue heard praises, euen glory to the iust, and I sayd, My leanesse, my leanesse, woe is mee: the transgressours haue offended: yea, the transgressours haue grieuously offended.

Kuo mau fanongo ki he ngaahi hiva mei he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻio, ko e fakaongolelei ki he māʻoniʻoni. Ka naʻaku pehē, ʻA ʻeku tutue, ʻa ʻeku tutue; ʻe malaʻia au! Kuo fai kākā ʻae kau fai taʻetotonu; ʻio, kuo fai kākā lahi ʻaupito ʻae kakai fai taʻetotonu.

17 Feare, and the pitte, and the snare are vpon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

‌ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae ilifia, mo e luo, pea mo e tauhele, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani.

18 And hee that fleeth from the noyse of the feare, shall fall into the pit: and he that commeth vp out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the windowes from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth doe shake.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko ia ʻoku hola mei he longoaʻa ʻoe ilifia ʻe tō ki he luo; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻalu hake mei he loto luo ʻe moʻua ia ʻi he tauhele: he kuo toʻo ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻi ʻolunga, pea ʻoku ngalulu ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani.

19 The earth is vtterly broken downe: the earth is cleane dissolued: the earth is mooued exceedingly.

Kuo maumau hifo ʻaupito ʻa māmani, kuo ʻauha ʻaupito ʻae fonua, kuo ngalulu lahi ʻaupito ʻa māmani.

20 The earth shall reele to and from like a drunken man, and shall be remooued like a tent, and the iniquitie thereof shall be heauie vpon it: so that it shall fall, and rise no more.

‌ʻE tasipesipa ʻa māmani ʻo hangē ko e tangata konā, ʻe hiki ia ʻo hangē ko ha fale siʻi, pea ʻe mamafa ki ai ʻa ʻene angahala; pea ʻe hinga ia, pea ʻe ʻikai toetuʻu.

21 And in that day shall the Lord visite the hoste aboue that is on hie, euen the Kinges of the world that are vpon the earth.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe tautea ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻae kakai ʻeiki ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga, pea ʻi he māmani ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani.

22 And they shall be gathered together, as the prisoners in the pit: and they shall be shut vp in the prison, and after many daies shall they be visited.

Pea ʻe tānaki fakataha ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ʻoku tānaki ʻae kau pōpula ki he luo, pea ʻe tāpuni ʻi he fale fakapōpula, pea hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻe ʻaahiʻi ʻakinautolu.

23 Then the moone shall be abashed, and the sunne ashamed, when the Lord of hostes shall reigne in mount Zion and in Ierusalem: and glory shalbe before his ancient men.

Pea ʻe toki puputuʻu ʻae māhina, pea ʻe mā mo e laʻā, koeʻuhi ʻe pule ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻi hono māfimafi ʻi he moʻunga ko Saione, pea ʻi Selūsalema, pea ʻe ongoongolelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe mātuʻa ʻo hono kakai.
