Isaiah 1

1 A vision of Isaiah, the sonne of Amoz, which he sawe concerning Iudah and Ierusalem: in the dayes of Vzziah, Iotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah.

Ko e meʻa naʻe hā mai kia ʻIsaia koe foha ʻo ʻAmosi, ʻaia naʻa ne mamata ʻoku kau ki Siuta mo Selūsalema ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻUsia, mo Sotame, mo ʻAhasi, pea mo Hesekaia, koe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta.

2 Heare, O heauens, and hearken, O earth: for the Lord hath sayde, I haue nourished and brought vp children, but they haue rebelled against me.

Mou fanongo, ʻae ngaahi langi, pea fakafanongo mo māmani: he ʻoku folofola ʻa Sihova, “Kuo u fafanga mo tauhi ʻae fānau, pea kuo nau angatuʻu kiate au.

3 The oxe knoweth his owner, and the asse his masters crib: but Israel hath not knowen: my people hath not vnderstand.

‌ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he pulu ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻana ia, pea mo e ʻasi ʻae fale manu ʻo ʻene ʻeiki: ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ʻa hoku kakai.”

4 Ah, sinfull nation, a people laden with iniquitie: a seede of the wicked, corrupt children: they haue forsaken the Lord: they haue prouoked the holy one of Israel to anger: they are gone backewarde.

Oiau! ʻAe puleʻanga angakovi, ko e kakai māfasia ʻi he hia, ko e hako fai meʻa kovi, ko e fānau ʻoku fakahala: kuo nau liʻaki ʻa Sihova, kuo nau fakahouhauʻi ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli, kuo nau fakaholomui.

5 Wherefore shoulde ye be smitten any more? for ye fall away more and more: the whole head is sicke, and the whole heart is heauie.

Ko e hā ʻe toe teʻia ai ʻakimoutolu? ʻE tupulaki pe hoʻomou angatuʻu: ʻoku mahaki ʻae ʻulu kotoa pē, pea vaivai mo e loto kotoa pē.

6 From the sole of the foote vnto the head, there is nothing whole therein, but wounds, and swelling, and sores full of corruption: they haue not bene wrapped, nor bound vp, nor mollified with oyle.

Mei he ʻaofi vaʻe ʻo aʻu ki he ʻulu ʻoku ʻikai ha haohaoa ʻi ai; ka ko e lavea, mo e volu, mo e pala kovi: ʻoku teʻeki ai fakamaʻopo, pe nonoʻo, pe feʻauaki ʻae lolo faitoʻo.

7 Your land is waste: your cities are burnt with fire: strangers deuoure your lande in your presence, and it is desolate like the ouerthrowe of strangers.

Kuo lala homou fonua, kuo vela homou ngaahi kolo ʻi he afi: pea ko homou fonua, ʻoku kai ʻo ʻosi ʻe he kakai muli ʻi homou ʻao, pea ʻoku lala ia, ʻo hangē kuo fakaʻauha ʻe he kau muli.

8 And the daughter of Zion shall remaine like a cotage in a vineyarde, like a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and like a besieged citie.

Pea kuo tuku ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Saione ʻo hangē ko e fale siʻi ʻi he ngoue vaine, ʻo hangē ko e fale leʻo ʻi he ngoue kukumipa, ʻo hangē ko e kolo kuo kāpui ʻe he tau.

9 Except the Lord of hostes had reserued vnto vs, euen a small remnant: we should haue bene as Sodom, and should haue bene like vnto Gomorah.

Ka ne ʻikai tuku kiate kitautolu ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ha tokosiʻi, pehē, kuo tau hangē ko Sotoma, pea kuo tau tatau mo Komola.

10 Heare the worde of the Lord, O princes of Sodom: hearken vnto the Law of our God, O people of Gomorah.

Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau pule ʻo Sotoma; fakafanongo ki he fono ʻa hotau ʻOtua, ʻakimoutolu ko e kakai ʻo Komola.

11 What haue I to doe with the multitude of your sacrifices, sayth the Lord? I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and of the fat of fed beasts: and I desire not the blood of bullocks, nor of lambs, nor of goates.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko e hā hono ʻaonga ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau lahi kiate au? Kuo u fiu ʻi he feilaulau ʻaki ʻae fanga sipitangata, mo e ngako ʻoe manu sino; pea ʻoku ʻikai te u fiemālie ʻi he toto ʻoe fanga pulu, pe ko e fanga lami, pe ko e fanga kosi tangata.

12 When ye come to appeare before me, who required this of your hands to tread in my courts?

‌ʻOka mou ka haʻu ke fakahā ʻakimoutolu ʻi hoku ʻao, ko hai kuo ne fekau ke ʻomi ʻae meʻa ni ʻi homou nima, ke malaki hoku ngaahi potu tapu?

13 Bring no more oblations, in vaine: incense is an abomination vnto me: I can not suffer your newe moones, nor Sabbaths, nor solemne dayes (it is iniquitie) nor solemne assemblies.

‌ʻOua naʻa toe ʻomi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau taʻeʻaonga; ko e meʻa fakalielia kiate au ʻae tutu ʻoe ʻakau namu lelei; ko e ngaahi māhina foʻou mo e ngaahi ʻaho tapu, mo e ui ke fakataha, ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa kātaki; pea naʻa mo e fakataha ke lotu ko e angahala ia.

14 My soule hateth your newe moones and your appointed feastes: they are a burden vnto me: I am weary to beare them.

‌ʻOku fehiʻa ʻa hoku laumālie ki hoʻomou ngaahi māhina foʻou mo hoʻomou ngaahi kātoanga: ko e meʻa fakamamahi ia kiate au; kuo u fiu ʻi hono kātaki.

15 And when you shall stretch out your hands, I wil hide mine eyes from you: and though ye make many prayers, I wil not heare: for your hands are full of blood.

‌ʻOka mou ka mafao homou nima, te u fufū hoku fofonga ʻiate kimoutolu: ʻio, ʻoka mou ka hū ʻo liunga lahi, ʻe ʻikai te u fanongo: he ʻoku pito homou nima ʻi he toto.

16 Wash you, make you cleane: take away the euill of your workes from before mine eyes: cease to doe euill.

“Fufulu ʻakimoutolu, ʻo ngaohi ke mou maʻa; hiki ke mamaʻo meiate au ʻae kovi ʻo hoʻomou faianga; tuku ʻae fai kovi;

17 Learne to doe well: seeke iudgement, relieue the oppressed: iudge the fatherlesse and defend the widowe.

‌ʻAko ke mou fai lelei: kumi ki he angatonu, tokoni ʻakinautolu kuo fakamālohia, fakamaau ki he tamai mate, langomakiʻi ʻae fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti.”

18 Come nowe, and let vs reason together, sayth the Lord: though your sinnes were as crimsin, they shalbe made white as snowe: though they were red like skarlet, they shalbe as wooll.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Mou haʻu, pea ke tau alea fakataha: he neongo ʻae tatau ʻo hoʻomou angahala mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, ʻe hoko ia ke hinehina ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hinaekiaki; kapau ʻoku kulokula ia ʻo hangē ko e kulamūmū, ʻe tatau ia mo e fulufuluʻi sipi.

19 If ye consent and obey, ye shall eate the good things of the land.

Kapau te mou loto ki ai mo talangofua, te mou kai hono lelei ʻoe fonua:

20 But if ye refuse and be rebellious, ye shalbe deuoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Ka ʻi hoʻomou talangataʻa mo angatuʻu, ʻe ʻauha ai ʻakimoutolu ʻi he heletā: he kuo folofola pehē ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova.”

21 Howe is the faithfull citie become an harlot? it was full of iudgement, and iustice lodged therein, but now they are murtherers.

Hono ʻikai liliu fau ʻae kolo naʻe angatonu ko e faʻa feʻauaki! Naʻe fonu ia ʻi he fakamaau; naʻe nofo ai ʻae māʻoniʻoni; ka ʻoku ʻi ai ni ʻae kau fakapō.

22 Thy siluer is become drosse: thy wine is mixt with water.

Kuo hoko hoʻo siliva ko e taʻeʻaonga, mo hoʻo uaine kuo huʻi ʻaki ʻae vai:

23 Thy Princes are rebellious and companions of theeues: euery one loueth giftes, and followeth after rewards: they iudge not the fatherlesse, neither doeth the widowes cause come before them.

‌ʻOku angatuʻu homou houʻeiki, pea kaumeʻa mo e kau kaihaʻa: ʻoku nau manako kotoa pē ki he ngaahi foaki, ʻonau muimui ki he totongi: ʻoku ʻikai te nau fakamaau ki he tamai mate, pea ʻoku ʻikai aʻu kiate kinautolu ʻae mamahi ʻae fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti.

24 Therefore sayth the Lord God of hostes, the mightie one of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine aduersaries, and auenge me of mine enemies.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e Toko Taha Māfimafi ʻo ʻIsileli, “ʻIo, te u fakafiemālieʻi au ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku angatuʻu mai, pea te u totongi ʻe au ki hoku ngaahi fili.

25 Then I will turne mine hand vpon thee, and burne out thy drosse, till it be pure, and take away all thy tinne.

Pea ʻe toe ala hoku nima kiate koe, pea fakamaʻa moʻoni hoʻo ʻuli, pea ʻave mo hoʻo kovi kotoa pē:

26 And I will restore thy iudges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward shalt thou be called a citie of righteousnes, and a faithfull citie.

Pea te u toe fakanofo hoʻo kau fakamaau ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa, pea mo hoʻo kau fakakaukau poto ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he kamataʻanga: pea hili ia ʻe ui koe, ‘Ko e kolo māʻoniʻoni, ko e kolo angatonu.’

27 Zion shall be redeemed in iudgement, and they that returne in her, in iustice.

‌ʻE huhuʻi ʻa Saione ʻaki ʻae fakamaau, mo ʻene kakai ului ʻaki ʻae māʻoniʻoni.”

28 And the destruction of the transgressers and of the sinners shalbe together: and they that forsake the Lord, shalbe consumed.

Pea ʻe fakaʻauha fakataha ʻae kau talangataʻa mo e angahala, pea ʻe ʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku liʻaki ʻa Sihova.

29 For they shalbe confounded for the okes, which ye haue desired, and ye shall be ashamed of the gardens, that ye haue chosen.

He te nau mā ʻi he ngaahi ʻakau naʻa mou holi ki ai, pea te mou puputuʻu ʻi he ngaahi ngoue kuo mou fili.

30 For ye shalbe as an oke, whose leafe fadeth: and as a garden that hath no water.

He te mou tatau mo e ʻakau kuo mae hono lau, pea hangē ko e ngoue ʻoku ʻikai hano vai.

31 And the strong shall be as towe, and the maker thereof, as a sparke: and they shall both burne together, and none shall quench them.

Pea ʻe tatau ʻae mālohi mo e kākā, pea mo ʻene ngāue ʻo hangē ko e kalofiama, pea te na vela fakataha, pea ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ia ʻe ha tokotaha.”
