Isaiah 1

1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

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 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have 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 ox knoweth his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

‌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 sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, they are gone away backward.

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 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

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 foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

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 country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, foreigners devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.

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 is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

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 hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like Gomorrah.

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 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

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 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.

‌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 appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread 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 vain oblations; incense is an abomination to me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

‌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 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble to me; I am weary of bearing 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 ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: 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 yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;

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

17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

‌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 now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

‌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 are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

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

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured 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 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

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 silver is become dross, thy wine mixed 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 thieves: every one loveth bribes, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come to 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 saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will rid myself of my adversaries, and avenge me of my 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 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

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 judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

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 with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

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

28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

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

29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have 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 shall be as an oak whose leaf 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 a wick, and its maker as a spark, and they shall both burn 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.”
