ʻIsaia 34

1Draw near, O nations, to hear, and give attention, O peoples! Let the earth hear, and all that fills it; the world, and all that comes from it.

1HAʻU ke ofi, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻo fanongo; pea fakafanongo, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kakai: tuku ke fanongo ʻa māmani, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai; ʻa māmani, mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tupu mei ai.

2For the LORD is enraged against all the nations, and furious against all their host; he has devoted them to destruction, has given them over for slaughter.

2He ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻae tuputāmaki ʻa Sihova, mo hono houhau lahi ʻoku ʻi honau ngaahi kongakau kotoa pē: kuo ne fakaʻauha mālie ʻakinautolu, kuo ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ke tāmateʻi.

3Their slain shall be cast out, and the stench of their corpses shall rise; the mountains shall flow with their blood.

3Mo ʻenau mate foki ʻe lī kituʻa, pea ʻe ʻalu hake ʻae namuhāhā mei honau ʻangaʻanga, pea ʻe molū ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi honau toto.

4All the host of heaven shall rot away, and the skies roll up like a scroll. All their host shall fall, as leaves fall from the vine, like leaves falling from the fig tree.

4Pea ʻe vela ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi kautau kotoa pē ʻoe langi, pea ʻe tākai ʻae ngaahi langi ʻo hangē ko e takainga pepa: pea ʻe tō ki lalo ʻa honau tokolahi, ʻo hangē ko e ngangana ʻoe lau mei he vaine, pea tatau mo e fiki ʻoku tō mei he ʻakau ko e fiki.

5For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens; behold, it descends for judgment upon Edom, upon the people I have devoted to destruction.

5He kuo toʻo ʻa ʻeku heletā ʻi he langi: Vakai, ʻe ʻalu hifo ia ki Itumia, pea ki he kakai ʻo hoku houhau,ke totongi.

6The LORD has a sword; it is sated with blood; it is gorged with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

6Kuo fonu ʻae heletā ʻa Sihova ʻi he toto, kuo pani ia ʻi he ngako, pea ʻi he toto ʻoe fanga lami mo e fanga kosi, ʻi he ngako ʻoe kofuua ʻoe fanga sipitangata: he ʻoku ʻia Sihova ʻae feilaulau ʻi Posela, pea mo e tāmateʻi lahi ʻi he fonua ko Itumia.

7Wild oxen shall fall with them, and young steers with the mighty bulls. Their land shall drink its fill of blood, and their soil shall be gorged with fat.

7Pea ʻe ʻalu hifo mo kinautolu ʻae fanga liimi, mo e fanga pulu fakataha mo e fanga pulu tangata; pea ʻe konā honau fonua ʻi he toto, pea ʻe koloaʻia ʻae kelekele ʻi he ngako.

8For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

8He ko e ʻaho ia ʻoe houhau ʻo Sihova, pea ko e taʻu ʻoe ngaahi totongi kiate ia ʻoku fakahaofi ʻa Saione.

9And the streams of Edom shall be turned into pitch, and her soil into sulfur; her land shall become burning pitch.

9Pea ʻe liliu ʻae ngaahi vaitafe ʻo ia ko e pulu, pea mo e efu ʻo ia ko e sulifa, pea ko e fonua ko ia ʻe hoko ko e pulu vela.

10Night and day it shall not be quenched; its smoke shall go up forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it forever and ever.

10‌ʻE ʻikai fuʻifuʻi ia ʻi he pō pe ʻi he ʻaho; ʻe ʻalu hake taʻengata ʻae kohu mei ai: ʻe lala ia mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata; ʻe ʻikai fou ai ha taha ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.

11But the hawk and the porcupine shall possess it, the owl and the raven shall dwell in it. He shall stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.

11Ka e maʻu ia ʻe he komolaniti pea mo e pitane; ʻe nofo ai ʻae lulu mo e leveni: pea te ne falō ki ai ʻae afo ʻae fakaʻauha, pea mo e fua ʻoe fakaʻosiʻosi.

12Its nobles—there is no one there to call it a kingdom, and all its princes shall be nothing.

12Te nau ui honau houʻeiki ki he puleʻanga, ka e ʻikai ha taha ʻi ai, pea ko e meʻa noa pe hono houʻeiki kotoa pē.

13Thorns shall grow over its strongholds, nettles and thistles in its fortresses. It shall be the haunt of jackals, an abode for ostriches.

13Pea ʻe tutu ʻae ʻakau talatala ʻi hono ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki, ko e ʻakau veli mo e ʻakau talatala ʻi hono ngaahi kolo: pea ʻe hoko ia ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe fanga talākoni, pea ko e potu ʻoe fanga lulu.

14And wild animals shall meet with hyenas; the wild goat shall cry to his fellow; indeed, there the night bird settles and finds for herself a resting place.

14‌ʻE fetaulaki ʻae manu fekai ʻoe toafa mo e manu fekai ʻoe motu, pea ʻe tangi ʻae sataia ki hono toko ua; pea ʻe mālōlō ai ʻae lulu ʻoku tangi, pea ʻilo ai moʻona ha mālōlōʻanga.

15There the owl nests and lays and hatches and gathers her young in her shadow; indeed, there the hawks are gathered, each one with her mate.

15‌ʻE ngaohi ʻi ai ʻe he motuʻa lulu hono pununga, pea fakatō, pea fōfoaʻi, pea tānaki ki hono malumalu: ʻe tānaki foki ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi volita, taki taha mo hono hoa.

16Seek and read from the book of the LORD: Not one of these shall be missing; none shall be without her mate. For the mouth of the LORD has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.

16Kumi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he tohi ʻa Sihova, pea lau; ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe taʻehoko, ʻe ʻikai masiva ha taha ʻi hono hoa: he kuo fekau ia ʻe hoku ngutu, pea ko hono laumālie kuo tānaki ʻe ia ʻakinautolu.

17He has cast the lot for them; his hand has portioned it out to them with the line; they shall possess it forever; from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.

17Pea kuo ne talotalo ʻe ia maʻanautolu, pea ko hono nima kuo vaheʻi ia kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae afo: te nau maʻu ia ʻo lauikuonga, pea te nau nofo ai mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.
