ʻIsaia 32
Tongan Bible, Revised West VersionTranslation
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Vakai ʻe pule ha tuʻi ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻe pule mo e ngaahi houʻeiki ʻi he fai angatonu.
1Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
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.
2And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3Pea ʻe ʻikai nenefu ʻae mata ʻokinautolu ʻoku ʻaa, pea ʻe fakafanongo ʻae telinga ʻokinautolu ʻoku ongo.
3And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
4Pea ko e loto ʻoe ʻohonoa ʻe tokanga pea maʻu ʻae ʻilo, pea ko e ʻelelo ʻoku leʻoleʻovale ʻe lea vave mo totonu.
4The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5ʻE ʻikai toe ui ʻae angakovi ko e angalelei, pe pehē ko e faʻa foaki ʻaia ʻoku manumanu.
5The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
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.
6For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD , to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
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.
7The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
8Ka ko e angalelei ʻoku ne fakakaukau ki he ngaahi meʻa lelei; pea ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu ia.
8But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
9Mou tuʻu hake, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau fefine ʻoku nofo fakafiemālie; fanongo ki hoku leʻo, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine taʻetokanga; fakafanongo ki heʻeku lea.
9¶ Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
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.
10Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
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.
11Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
12Te nau lāunga koeʻuhi ko e mata ʻoe huhu, pea ki he ngaahi ngoue lelei, pea ki he vaine fua.
12They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
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:
13Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
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;
14Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
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.
15Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
16Pea ʻe toki nofo ʻae fakamaau ʻi he toafa, pea nofo ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ngoue faʻa fua.
16Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
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.
17And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
18Pea ʻe nofo ʻa hoku kakai ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻoe melino, pea ʻi he ngaahi fale tuʻumaʻu, pea ʻi he ngaahi mālōlōʻanga ʻoe fiemālie;
18And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19Ka e tō ʻae ʻuha maka, pea ʻe fakahinga ʻae vao ʻakau; pea ʻe fakamoʻulaloa ʻaupito ʻae kolo.
19When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
20ʻOku monūʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻi he veʻe vai kotoa pē, pea fekau atu ki ai ʻae vaʻe ʻoe pulu mo e ʻasi.
20Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
