< Isaiah 5 >

1 Now will I sing to my beloued a song of my beloued to his vineyarde, My beloued had a vineyarde in a very fruitefull hill,
“Ko eni te u hiva ki hoku ʻofaʻanga ʻaki ʻae hiva, ʻo ia ʻoku ou mamana ki ai, ʻoku kau ki heʻene ngoue vaine. ʻOku maʻu ʻe hoku ʻofaʻanga ʻae ngoue vaine ʻi he moʻunga kelekele moʻui:
2 And hee hedged it, and gathered out the stones of it, and he planted it with the best plants, and hee builte a towre in the middes thereof, and made a wine presse therein: then hee looked that it should bring foorth grapes: but it brought foorth wilde grapes.
Pea naʻa ne ʻāʻi ia, mo fetuku mei ai ʻae ngaahi maka, pea ne tō ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi vaine lelei lahi, mo ne langa ʻae fale leʻo ki ai, pea naʻe ngaohi foki ʻi ai ʻae tataʻoʻanga uaine: pea ne ʻamanaki ʻe tupu ai ʻae ngaahi kālepi, ka naʻe tupu ai ʻae kālepi vao pe.
3 Now therefore, O inhabitants of Ierusalem and men of Iudah, iudge, I pray you, betweene me, and my vineyarde.
“Pea ko eni ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema, mo e kau tangata ʻo Siuta, ʻoku ou kōlenga ke mou fakamaau kiate au mo ʻeku ngoue vaine.
4 What coulde I haue done any more to my vineyard that I haue not done vnto it? why haue I looked that it should bring foorth grapes, and it bringeth foorth wilde grapes?
Ko e hā mo ha meʻa ʻe faʻa fai ki heʻeku ngoue vaine, ʻoku teʻeki te u fai ki ai? Ko e hā kuo u ʻamanaki ki he tupu ai ʻae ngaahi kālepi, ka kuo tupu pe ʻae fua kona?
5 And nowe I will tell you what I will do to my vineyarde: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten vp: I will breake the wall thereof, and it shall be troden downe:
Pea ko eni; te u fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻaia te u fai ki heʻeku ngoue vaine: te u toʻo mei ai ʻā hono ʻā, pea ʻe keina ia ʻo ʻosi; pea ʻe holoki ʻā hono maka, pea ʻe malaki hifo ia:
6 And I will laye it waste: it shall not be cut, nor digged, but briers, and thornes shall growe vp: I will also commande the cloudes that they raine no raine vpon it.
Pea te u liʻaki ia: ʻe ʻikai ʻauhani ia, pe keli; ka e tupu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻakau talatala: pea te u fekau foki ki he ngaahi ʻao ke ʻoua naʻa ʻuha ki ai.
7 Surely the vineyard of the Lord of hostes is the house of Israel, and the men of Iudah are his pleasant plant, and hee looked for iudgement, but beholde oppression: for righteousnesse, but beholde a crying.
He ko e ngoue vaine ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e fale ʻo ʻIsileli ia, pea ko e kau tangata ʻo Siuta, ko ʻene ʻakau toulekeleka: pea naʻa ne ʻamanaki ki he fakamaau, kae vakai ko e fakamālohi; ki he māʻoniʻoni, kae vakai ko e tangi.”
8 Woe vnto them that ioyne house to house, and laye fielde to fielde, till there bee no place, that ye may be placed by your selues in the mids of the earth.
‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakahoko ʻae fale ki he fale, ʻonau ai ʻae ʻapi ki he ʻapi, ke ʻoua naʻa toe ha potu, koeʻuhi ke māʻolunga taha pe ʻakinautolu ʻi he fonua!
9 This is in mine cares, saith the Lord of hostes. Surely many houses shall be desolate, euen great, and faire without inhabitant.
Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ki hoku telinga, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe lahi ʻae fale ʻe lala, ʻio, ʻe ʻikai kakai ʻae ngaahi fale lahi mo lelei.
10 For ten acres of vines shall yelde one bath, and the seede of an homer shall yelde an ephah.
He ko e ngoue vaine, ko e ʻeka ʻe hongofulu hono lahi, ʻe maʻu mei ai ʻae pate pe taha, pea ko e homa ʻe taha ʻoe tenga, ʻe utu mei ai ha efa pe taha.”
11 Wo vnto them, that rise vp early to follow drunkennes, and to them that continue vntill night, till the wine doe inflame them.
‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku tuʻu hengihengi hake, ke kumi ki he kava mālohi; pea nofo ʻo aʻu ki he pō, kaeʻoua ke nau kona ʻi he uaine!
12 And the harpe and viole, timbrel, and pipe, and wine are in their feastes: but they regard not the worke of the Lord, neither consider the worke of his handes.
Pea ʻoku ʻi heʻenau ngaahi kātoanga ʻae haʻape, mo e vaiole, mo e lali, mo e mimiha, mo e uaine: ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau tokanga ki he ngāue ʻa Sihova, pe vakai ki he ngāue ʻa hono nima.
13 Therefore my people is gone into captiuitie, because they had no knowledge, and the glorie thereof are men famished, and the multitude thereof is dried vp with thirst.
Ko ia kuo ʻave pōpula ai ʻa hoku kakai, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ʻilo: pea kuo fiekaia honau kau tangata ongoongo, pea mo honau tokolahi ʻoku mate fieinu.
14 Therefore hell hath inlarged it selfe, and hath opened his mouth, without measure, and their glorie, and their multitude, and their pompe, and hee that reioyceth among them, shall descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
Ko ia kuo fakalahi ai ʻa heli ʻe ia, mo fakamanga lahi ʻaupito hono ngutu: pea ʻe ʻalu hifo ki ai honau mālohi, mo honau tokolahi, mo ʻenau laukau, mo ia ʻoku fiefia. (Sheol h7585)
15 And man shalbe brought downe, and man shalbe humbled, euen the eyes of the proude shalbe humbled.
Pea ʻe fakahifo ki lalo ʻae lāuvale, pea ʻe fakavaivaiʻi mo e tangata mālohi, pea ʻe hifo ki lalo ʻae mata ʻoe fielahi:
16 And the Lord of hostes shalbe exalted in iudgement, and the holy God shalbe sanctified in iustice.
Ka e hiki hake ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻi he fakamaau, pea ʻe fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻae ʻOtua māʻoniʻoni ʻi he angatonu.
17 Then shall the lambes feede after their maner, and the strangers shall eate the desolate places of the fat.
Pea ʻe toki kai ʻae fanga lami ʻo hangē ko ʻenau anga, pea ʻe kai ʻe he muli ʻae ngaahi potu lala ʻoe kakai koloaʻia.
18 Woe vnto them, that draw iniquitie with cordes of vanitie, and sinne, as with cart ropes:
‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fusi ʻae angahala ʻaki ʻae afo ʻoe vaʻinga, pea fai hala ʻo hangē ko e maea mālohi:
19 Which say, Let him make speede: let him hasten his worke, that wee may see it: and let the counsell of the holy one of Israel draw neere and come, that we may knowe it.
‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku pehē, “Tuku ke ne fai vave, pea fakatoʻotoʻo ʻene ngāue, ke tau mamata ki ai: pea tuku ke ʻunuʻunu mai pea haʻu ʻae tuʻutuʻuni ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke tau ʻilo ki ai!”
20 Woe vnto them that speake good of euill, and euill of good, which put darkenes for light, and light for darkenes, that put bitter for sweete, and sweete for sowre.
‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku ui ʻae kovi ko e lelei, mo e lelei ko e kovi; ʻoku ui ʻae poʻuli ko e maama, mo e maama ko e poʻuli; ʻoku ui ʻae kona ko e melie, mo e melie ko e kona!
21 Woe vnto them that are wise in their owne eyes, and prudent in their owne sight.
‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku poto ʻi honau mata ʻonautolu, mo kinautolu ʻoku pehē ʻoku nau fai fakapotopoto!
22 Wo vnto them that are mightie to drinke wine, and to them that are strong to powre in strong drinke:
‌ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku mālohi ke inu uaine, mo e kau tangata mālohi ke felingiʻaki ʻae kava mālohi:
23 Which iustifie the wicked for a rewarde, and take away the righteousnesse of the righteous from him.
‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae angahala koeʻuhi ko e totongi, ʻonau toʻo ʻae meʻa totonu ʻae māʻoniʻoni meiate ia!
24 Therefore as the flame of fire deuoureth the stubble, and as the chaffe is cosumed of the flame: so their roote shalbe as rottennesse, and their bud shall rise vp like dust, because they haue cast off the Lawe of the Lord of hostes, and contemned the word of the holy one of Israel.
Ko ia, hangē ʻoku keina ʻe he afi ʻae veve, pea fakaʻauha ʻe he ulo afi ʻae louveve, ʻe popo pehē honau aka, pea ʻe puna hake honau fisi ʻo hangē ko e efu: koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki ʻae fono ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, pea kuo nau fehiʻa ki he folofola ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.
25 Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and hee hath stretched out his hand vpon them, and hath smitten them that the mountaines did tremble: and their carkases were torne in the middes of the streetes, and for all this his wrath was not turned away, but his hande was stretched out still.
Ko ia kuo tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova ki hono kakai, pea kuo ne mafao hono nima kiate kinautolu, pea kuo ne taaʻi ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe tetetete ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea naʻe haehae honau ʻangaʻanga ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe kolo. Pea neongo ʻa eni kotoa pē ʻoku teʻeki ai ke taʻofi hono houhau, ka ʻoku kei mafao hono nima.
26 And he will lift vp a signe vnto the nations a farre, and wil hisse vnto them from the ende of the earth: and beholde, they shall come hastily with speede.
Pea te ne hiki hake ʻae fuka ki he ngaahi puleʻanga mei he mamaʻo, pea te ne seseʻe ʻakinautolu mei he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani: pea vakai te nau haʻu vave mo fakatoʻotoʻo:
27 None shall faint nor fall among them: none shall slumber nor sleepe, neither shall the girdle of his loynes be loosed, nor the latchet of his shooes be broken:
‌ʻE ʻikai vaivai pe humu ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe tulemohe pe mohe pea ʻe ʻikai vete ʻae noʻo ʻi honau konga loto, pe motu ʻae nonoʻo ʻo honau topuvaʻe:
28 Whose arrowes shall be sharpe, and all his bowes bent: his horse hoofes shall be thought like flint, and his wheeles like a whirlewinde.
‌ʻOku māsila ʻenau ngaahi ngahau, pea kuo teke ʻenau kaufana kotoa pē; ʻe fakatatau ki he maka afi ʻae pesipesi ʻo ʻenau fanga hoosi, pea ko ʻenau ngaahi saliote ʻe hangē ko e ʻahiohio:
29 His roaring shalbe like a lyon, and he shall roare like lyons whelpes: they shall roare, and lay holde of the praye: they shall take it away, and none shall deliuer it.
Te nau ngungulu ʻo hangē ko e laione, te nau ngungulu ʻo hangē ko e fanga laione mui, ʻio, te nau ngungulu, pea puke ʻae meʻakai, pea te nau vete ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne taʻofi.
30 And in that day they shall roare vpon them, as the roaring of the sea: and if they looke vnto the earth, beholde darkenesse, and sorowe, and the light shalbe darkened in their skie.
Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te nau tangi kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ʻuʻulu ʻoe tahi: pea kapau ʻoku sio ha tokotaha ki he fonua, vakai ko e fakapoʻuli mo e mamahi, pea kuo fakapoʻuli ʻae maama ʻi he langi.
