ʻIsaia 32
1Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice.
1VAKAI ʻe pule ha tuʻi ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻe pule mo e ngaahi houʻeiki ʻi he fai angatonu.
2Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
2Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata ʻo hangē ko e toitoiʻanga mei he matangi, mo e hūfanga mei he afā; pea hangē ko e ngaahi vaitafe ʻi he potu mōmoa, ʻo hangē ko e malumalu ʻo ha maka lahi ʻi he fonua ʻoku puhengia.
3Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed, and the ears of those who hear will give attention.
3Pea ʻe ʻikai nenefu ʻae mata ʻokinautolu ʻoku ʻaa, pea ʻe fakafanongo ʻae telinga ʻokinautolu ʻoku ongo.
4The heart of the hasty will understand and know, and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak distinctly.
4Pea ko e loto ʻoe ʻohonoa ʻe tokanga pea maʻu ʻae ʻilo, pea ko e ʻelelo ʻoku leʻoleʻovale ʻe lea vave mo totonu.
5The fool will no more be called noble, nor the scoundrel said to be honorable.
5ʻE ʻikai toe ui ʻae angakovi ko e angalelei, pe pehē ko e faʻa foaki ʻaia ʻoku manumanu.
6For the fool speaks folly, and his heart is busy with iniquity, to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the LORD, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
6He ko e tangata vale te ne lea vale, pea ʻe ngāue kovi hono loto, ke fai kākā, pea lea hala kia Sihova, ke fakamaha ʻae laumālie ʻoe fiekaia, pea taʻofi ʻe ia ʻae inu mei he fieinua.
7As for the scoundrel—his devices are evil; he plans wicked schemes to ruin the poor with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is right.
7Ko e ngaahi meʻa ngāue ʻoe angakovi ʻoku kovi: ʻoku ne fakakaukau kovi ke fakafihi ʻae masiva ʻaki ʻae lea loi, pea ke mioʻi ʻae lea totonu ʻae masiva ʻi he fakamaau.
8But he who is noble plans noble things, and on noble things he stands.
8Ka ko e angalelei ʻoku ne fakakaukau ki he ngaahi meʻa lelei; pea ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ia.
9Rise up, you women who are at ease, hear my voice; you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech.
9Mou tuʻu hake, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau fefine ʻoku nofo fakafiemālie; fanongo ki hoku leʻo, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine taʻetokanga; fakafanongo ki heʻeku lea.
10In little more than a year you will shudder, you complacent women; for the grape harvest fails, the fruit harvest will not come.
10Te mou ongosia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho mo e taʻu lahi, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau fefine taʻetokanga: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai hoko ʻae ngaohi ʻoe vaine, ʻe ʻikai hoko hono tānaki.
11Tremble, you women who are at ease, shudder, you complacent ones; strip, and make yourselves bare, and tie sackcloth around your waist.
11Ke tetetete, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau fefine ʻoku fakafiemālie; ke mamahi, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku taʻetokanga: vete homou kofu, fakatelefua ʻakimoutolu, pea nonoʻo ʻae tauangaʻa ki homou noʻotanga vala.
12Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,
12Te nau lāunga koeʻuhi ko e mata ʻoe huhu, pea ki he ngaahi ngoue lelei, pea ki he vaine fua.
13for the soil of my people growing up in thorns and briers, yes, for all the joyous houses in the exultant city.
13ʻE tupu hake ʻae ngaahi ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻāmoa ʻi he fonua ʻo hoku kakai; ʻio, ʻi he ngaahi fale fakafiefia kotoa pē ʻi he kolo ʻoe fiefia:
14For the palace is forsaken, the populous city deserted; the hill and the watchtower will become dens forever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;
14Koeʻuhi kuo liʻaki ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki; ko e kolo ʻoe tokolahi kuo siʻaki; ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi puke mo e ngaahi fale māʻolunga ko e ngaahi ʻana ʻo taʻengata, ko e fiefiaʻanga ʻoe fanga ʻasi kaivao, ko e keinangaʻanga ʻoe fanga manu;
15until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.
15Kaeʻoua ke huaʻi hifo kiate kitautolu ʻae laumālie mei ʻolunga, pea hoko ʻae toafa ko e ngoue faʻa fua, pea lau ʻae ngoue faʻa fua ko e vao ʻakau.
16Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.
16Pea ʻe toki nofo ʻae fakamaau ʻi he toafa, pea nofo ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ngoue faʻa fua.
17And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever.
17Pea ko e ngāue ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ko e melino ia; pea ko e fua ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ko e fiemālie mo e nofo lelei ʻo taʻengata.
18My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
18Pea ʻe nofo ʻa hoku kakai ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻoe melino, pea ʻi he ngaahi fale tuʻumaʻu, pea ʻi he ngaahi mālōlōʻanga ʻoe fiemālie;
19And it will hail when the forest falls down, and the city will be utterly laid low.
19Ka e tō ʻae ʻuha maka, pea ʻe fakahinga ʻae vao ʻakau; pea ʻe fakamoʻulaloa ʻaupito ʻae kolo.
20Happy are you who sow beside all waters, who let the feet of the ox and the donkey range free.
20ʻOku monūʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻi he veʻe vai kotoa pē, pea fekau atu ki ai ʻae vaʻe ʻoe pulu mo e ʻasi.
