ʻIsaia 55

1“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

1“VAKAI mai, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku fieinu, haʻu ki he ngaahi vai, pea mo ia ʻoku ʻikai haʻane paʻanga; mou haʻu, ʻo fakatau, pea kai; ʻio, haʻu ʻo fakatau uaine mo e huʻahuhu taʻehapaʻanga pea taʻehatotongi.

2Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.

2Ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻatu ai ʻae paʻanga ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ko e mā? Mo hoʻomou ngāue ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻikai fakamākona? Mou fanongo ʻo tokanga kiate au, pea mou kai ʻaia ʻoku lelei, pea tuku ke fiefia homou laumālie ʻi he meʻakai lelei lahi.

3Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.

3Fakatokangaʻi homou telinga, pea haʻu kiate au fanongo, pea ʻe moʻui homou laumālie, pea te u fai ʻae fuakava taʻengata mo kimoutolu, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa tuʻumaʻu kia Tevita.

4Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples.

4Vakai, kuo u foaki ia ko e fakamoʻoni ki he kakai, ko e takimuʻa mo e pule ki he kakai.

5Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.

5Vakai, te ke ui ʻae puleʻanga ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ni, pea ko e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo koe te nau lele kiate koe koeʻuhi ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea koeʻuhi ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli; he kuo ne fakaongoongoleleiʻi koe.”

6“Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near;

6Mou kumi kia Sihova ʻi he lolotonga ʻoku faʻa ʻilo ia, ui kiate ia ʻi heʻene kei ofi:

7let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

7Tuku ke liʻaki ʻe he angahala hono hala, mo e tangata taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻene ngaahi mahalo: pea tuku ke ne foki kia Sihova, pea te ne ʻaloʻofa kiate ia; pea ki hotau ʻOtua, he te ne fakamolemole ʻo lahi ʻaupito.

8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.

8He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku ʻikai ko hoʻomou ngaahi mahalo ʻa ʻeku mahalo, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko homou ngaahi hala ʻa hoku ngaahi hala.

9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

9He ʻoku hangē ʻoku māʻolunga hake ʻae ngaahi langi mei he māmani, ʻoku pehē hono māʻolunga ʻo hoku ngaahi hala, pea mo ʻeku mahalo ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi mahalo.

10“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

10Pea hangē ʻoku ʻalu hifo ʻae ʻuha, mo e ʻuha hinehina mei he langi, pea ʻikai toe foki ki ai, ka ʻoku fakaviviku ʻae kelekele, pea ngaohi ia ke tupu mo fua, koeʻuhi ke ʻomi mei ai ʻae tenga ki he tangata tūtuuʻi, pea mo e mā kiate ia ʻoku kai.

11so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

11‌ʻE pehē ʻeku folofola ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻi hoku fofonga: ʻe ʻikai foki taʻefua kiate au, ka e lavaʻi ia ʻaia ʻoku ou faʻiteliha ki ai, pea ʻe monūʻia ia ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ou fekau ia ki ai.

12“For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

12He te mou ʻalu atu ʻi he fiefia, pea ʻe taki atu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he fiemālie: ʻe pā ʻae hiva ʻi homou ʻao mei he ngaahi moʻunga mo e potu tafungofunga, pea ʻe pasipasi nima ʻe he ngaahi ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe vao.

13Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress; instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall make a name for the LORD, an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”

13‌ʻE tupu hake ʻae ʻakau ko e fea ko e fetongi ʻoe ʻakau talatala, pea ʻe tupu ʻae maile ko e fetongi ʻoe talatalaʻāmoa: pea ʻe hoko ia ko e meʻa fakamanatu kia Sihova, ko e fakaʻilonga taʻengata ʻaia ʻe ʻikai ʻauha.”
