Isaiah 65

1 I am sought by them that asked not for me; I am found by them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, to a nation that was not called by my name.

“ʻOku kumi kiate au ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai te nau fehuʻi kiate au; kuo ʻilo au ʻekinautolu naʻe ʻikai kumi kiate au: naʻaku pehē, ‘Vakai kiate au, vakai kiate au,’ ki he puleʻanga naʻe ʻikai ke ui ʻaki hoku huafa.

2 I have spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walketh in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;

Kuo u mafao atu hoku nima ʻi he ʻaho kotoa ki he kakai angatuʻu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala ʻoku ʻikai lelei, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngaahi filioʻi:

3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;

Ko e kakai ʻoku fakahouhau kiate au maʻuaipē ki hoku fofonga; ʻoku fai feilaulau ʻi he ngaahi ngoue, pea ʻoku tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he ngaahi ʻesi makaʻumea;

4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi tanuʻanga, pea ʻi he ngaahi fale māʻolunga, ʻoku kai ʻae kakano ʻoe puaka, pea ko e vaihū ʻoe ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ʻoku ʻi he ʻenau ngaahi ipu;

5 Who say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku pehē, ‘Tuʻu tokotaha pe koe, ʻoua ʻe haʻu ke ofi kiate au; he ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni hake ʻiate koe.’ Ko e ʻohuafi ʻakinautolu ni ʻi hoku fofonga, ko e afi ʻoku ulo ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,

“Vakai, ʻoku tohi ʻi hoku ʻao: ʻE ʻikai te u fakalongo pe, ka te u totongi, ʻio, ʻe ai ʻae totongi ki honau fatafata.

7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, who have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko hoʻomou angahia, mo e angahala ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai fakataha, ʻakinautolu kuo tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea kape kiate au ʻi he ngaahi potu tafungofunga: ko ia te u fua ʻa ʻenau muʻaki ngāue ki honau fatafata.

8 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻO hangē ʻoku ʻilo ʻae uaine foʻou ʻi he fuhi, pea ʻoku pehē ʻe ha taha, ‘ʻoua ʻe fakaʻauha ia; he ʻoku ʻi ai ha tāpuaki;’ te u fai pehē koeʻuhi ko ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.

9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and my elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

Pea te u ʻomi ha hako meia Sēkope, pea mei Siuta ha taha ke maʻu hoku ngaahi moʻunga: pea ʻe maʻu ia ʻe hoku kakai fili, pea ʻe nofo ai ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki.

10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻa Saloni ko e loto ʻā ʻae fanga sipi, pea ko e teleʻa ʻo ʻAkoli ko e tokotoʻanga ʻoe fanga manu, maʻa hoku kakai ʻaia kuo kumi kiate au.

11 But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering to that number.

“Ka ko kimoutolu kuo mou liʻaki ʻa Sihova, kuo fakangalongaloʻi hoku moʻunga tapu, ʻoku mou teuteu ha keinangaʻanga maʻa Kata, pea ʻoku ʻatu ʻae feilaulau inu kia Meni.

12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spoke, ye did not hear; but did evil before my eyes, and did choose that in which I delighted not.

Ko ia te u lau ai ʻakimoutolu ki he heletā, pea te mou punou kotoa pē ki he tāmateʻi: koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku ui, naʻe ʻikai te mou tali; ʻi heʻeku lea, naʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo; ka naʻa mou fai kovi ʻi hoku ʻao, mo fili ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fiemālie ai.

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻOtua ko Sihova, “Vakai, ʻe kai ʻe heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki, ka te mou fiekaia: vakai, ʻe inu ʻe heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki, ka te mou fieinua: vakai, ʻe fiefia ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki, ka e mā ʻakimoutolu.

14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit.

Vakai, ʻe hivehiva ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki koeʻuhi ko e fiefia ʻoe loto, ka te mou tangi koeʻuhi ko e mamahi ʻoe loto, pea ʻe tangilāulau ʻi he mamahi ʻoe laumālie.

15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:

Pea te mou tuku homou hingoa ko e fakamamahi kiate kinautolu kuo u fili: koeʻuhi ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova, pea ui ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ha hingoa kehe:

16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from my eyes.

Koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku ne tāpuaki ia ʻi he fonua te ne tāpuaki ia ʻi he ʻOtua ʻoe moʻoni; pea ko ia ʻoku fuakava ʻi he fonua te ne fuakava ʻi he ʻOtua ʻoe moʻoni; koeʻuhi kuo fakangalo ʻae ngaahi muʻaki mamahi, pea koeʻuhi kuo fakafufū ia mei hoku fofonga.

17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

“Vakai, he ʻoku ou fakatupu ʻae ngaahi langi foʻou pea mo e fonua foʻou: pea ʻe ʻikai manatu ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa, pe ai ha manatu loto ki ai.

18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

Ka ke fiefia ʻakimoutolu pea nekeneka ʻo taʻengata ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ou fakatupu: he vakai, ʻoku ou ngaohi ʻa Selūsalema ko e fiefiaʻanga, pea ke fiefia ʻa hono kakai.

19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

Pea te u fiefia ia Selūsalema, pea nekeneka ʻi hoku kakai: pea ʻe ʻikai ha toe fanongo ki ha leʻo ʻoe tangi ʻiate ia, pe ko e leʻo ʻoe tangi mamahi.

20 There shall be no more there an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.

“ʻE ʻikai toe ʻai ʻi ai ha tamasiʻi ʻoku moʻui fuonounou, pe ko ha tangata motuʻa ʻoku taʻekakato hono ngaahi ʻaho: he ko ia ʻe mate ʻi hono teau taʻu ʻe mate ko e tamasiʻi pe; pea ko e tangata angahala ʻoku mate ʻi hono teau taʻu ʻe malaʻia ia.

21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

Pea te nau langa ʻae ngaahi fale, pea nofo ai; pea te nau tō ʻae ngaahi vaine, pea kai ʻae fua ʻo ia.

22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and my elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

‌ʻE ʻikai te nau langa, kae nofo ai ha taha kehe; ʻe ʻikai te nau tō, kae kai ʻe ha taha kehe: he ʻoku hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe ʻakau ʻoku pehē ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoku kakai, pea ʻe leleiʻia fuoloa ʻae kakai kuo u fili ʻi he ngāue ʻa honau nima.

23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.

‌ʻE ʻikai te nau ngāue taʻeʻaonga, pe fanauʻi ki he mamahi; he ko e hako ʻakinautolu kuo monūʻia ʻia Sihova, pea mo ʻenau fānau fakataha mo kinautolu.

24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he teʻeki te nau ui, te u tali; pea ʻi he lolotonga ʻenau lea, te u ongoʻi.

25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox: and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE kai fakataha ʻae ulofi mo e lami, pea ʻe kai ʻe he laione ʻae kau ʻoe koane ʻo hangē ko e pulu: pea ko e meʻakai ʻoe ngata ko e efu. ʻE ʻikai te nau fakamamahi pe fakaʻauha ʻi [ha potu ʻo ]hoku moʻunga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.”
