Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1ʻOku pehē ʻe homou ʻOtua, “Mou fakafiemālieʻi, mou fakafiemālieʻi ʻa hoku kakai.
1ΠΑΡΑΚΑΛΕΙΤΕ παρακαλεῖτε τὸν λαόν μου, λέγει ὁ Θεός.
2“Lea fakafiemālie ki Selūsalema, pea kalanga kiate ia, kuo ngata ʻene tau, kuo fakamolemole ʻene hia: he kuo fai ʻae totongi ke liunga ua kiate ia mei he nima ʻo Sihova ʻi heʻene hia kotoa pē.”
2ἱερεῖς, λαλήσατε εἰς τὴν καρδίαν Ἱερουσαλήμ, παρακαλέσατε αὐτήν· ὅτι ἐπλήσθη ἡ ταπείνωσις αὐτῆς, λέλυται αὐτῆς ἡ ἁμαρτία· ὅτι ἐδέξατο ἐκ χειρὸς Κυρίου διπλᾶ τὰ ἁμαρτήματα αὐτῆς.
3¶ Ko e leʻo ʻo ia ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, “Teuteu ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, fakatonutonu ʻae hala lahi ʻi he toafa maʻa hotau ʻOtua.”
3φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν Κυρίου. εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν.
4ʻE hakeakiʻi ʻae ngaahi luo kotoa pē, pea ʻe holoki ʻae ngaahi moʻunga meʻe tafungofunga kotoa pē: pea ʻe fakatonutonu ʻae pikopiko, pea ʻe fakatokalelei ʻae ngaahi potu ʻoku tokakovi:
4πᾶσα φάραγξ πληρωθήσεται καὶ πᾶν ὄρος καὶ βουνὸς ταπεινωθήσεται, καὶ ἔσται πάντα τὰ σκολιὰ εἰς εὐθεῖαν καὶ ἡ τραχεῖα εἰς ὁδοὺς λείας·
5Pea ʻe fakahā ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe mamata ki ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē: he kuo folofola pehē ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova.”
5καὶ ὀφθήσεται ἡ δόξα Κυρίου, καὶ ὄψεται πᾶσα σάρξ τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὅτι Κύριος ἐλάλησε.
6Naʻe pehē ʻe he leʻo, “Kalanga.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e hā te u kalanga ʻaki?” “Ko e mohuku ʻae kakano kotoa pē, pea ko e nāunau kotoa pē ʻo ia ʻoku tatau mo e fisi ʻoe ngoue.
6φωνὴ λέγοντος· βόησον· καὶ εἶπα· τί βοήσω; πᾶσα σάρξ χόρτος, καὶ πᾶσα δόξα ἀνθρώπου ὡς ἄνθος χόρτου·
7ʻOku fakaʻaʻau ke mōmoa ʻae mohuku, ʻoku mae ʻae fisiʻiʻakau: koeʻuhi ʻoku angi ki ai ʻae matangi ʻa Sihova: tā ko e moʻoni ko e mohuku ʻae kakai.
7ἐξηράνθη ὁ χόρτος, καὶ τὸ ἄνθος ἐξέπεσε,
8ʻOku fakaʻaʻau ke mōmoa ʻae mohuku, ʻoku mae ʻae fisiʻiʻakau: ka e tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻae folofola ʻa hotau ʻOtua.”
8τὸ δὲ ρῆμα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
9¶ ʻA koe, ʻoku ʻomi ʻae ongoongolelei ki Saione, ʻalu hake koe ki he moʻunga māʻolunga; ʻa koe, ʻoku ʻomi ʻae ongoongolelei ki Selūsalema, hiki hake ho leʻo ʻi he mālohi; hiki hake ia ʻoua ʻe manavahē; ke ke pehē ki he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, “Vakai ki homou ʻOtua!”
9ἐπ᾿ ὄρος ὑψηλὸν ἀνάβηθι, ὁ εὐαγγελιζόμενος Σιών· ὕψωσον ἐν ἰσχύϊ τὴν φωνή σου, ὁ εὐαγγελιζόμενος Ἱερουσαλήμ· ὑψώσατε, μὴ φοβεῖσθε· εἰπὸν ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα· ἰδοὺ ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
10Vakai, ʻe hāʻele mai ʻae ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻi he mālohi, pea ʻe pule hono nima moʻona: vakai, ʻoku ʻiate ia hono totongi, pea ʻoku ʻi hono ʻao ʻa ʻene ngāue.
10ἰδοὺ Κύριος Κύριος μετὰ ἰσχύος ἔρχεται καὶ ὁ βραχίων μετὰ κυρίας· ἰδοὺ ὁ μισθὸς αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ ἔργον ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ.
11Te ne fafanga ʻene fanga sipi ʻo hangē ko e tauhi: te ne tānaki ʻae fanga lami ʻaki hono nima, pea fua ʻakinautolu ʻi hono fatafata, pea tataki fakafiemālie ʻakinautolu ʻoku feitama.
11ὡς ποιμὴν ποιμανεῖ τὸ ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ βραχίονι αὐτοῦ συνάξει ἄρνας καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσας παρακαλέσει.
12Ko hai kuo ne fua ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi hono ʻaofi nima, pea fuofua ʻae langi ʻaki ʻae hanga, pea fakakātoa ʻae efuefu ʻoe fonua ʻi he meʻa fuofua, pea kuo fakamamafa ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi he meʻa fakamamafa, pea mo e ngaahi tafungofunga ʻi he meʻa fakatatau?
12Τί ἐμέτρησε τῇ χειρὶ τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν σπιθαμῇ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν δρακί; τίς ἔστησε τὰ ὄρη σταθμῷ καὶ τὰς νάπας ζυγῷ;
13Ko hai kuo ne fakahinohino ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova, pea hoko ko ʻene akonaki ke fakahinohino ia?
13τίς ἔγνω νοῦν Κυρίου, καὶ τίς αὐτοῦ σύμβουλος ἐγένετο, ὃς συμβιβᾷ αὐτόν;
14Ko hai naʻa na fakakaukau mo ia, koeʻuhi ke ne fakapotoʻi ia, pe ako kiate ia ʻi he hala ʻoe fakamaau, pe ko hai naʻa ne akonakiʻi ia ʻi he ʻilo, pea fakahā kiate ia ʻae hala ʻoe ʻiloʻilo?
14ἢ πρὸς τίνα συνεβουλεύσατο καὶ συνεβίβασεν αὐτόν; ἢ τίς ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ κρίσιν; ἢ ὁδὸν συνέσεως τίς ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ;
15Vakai, ʻoku tatau ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga mo e tulutā ʻoe ipu vai, pea ʻoku lau ia ʻo hangē ko e efuefu iiki ʻoe meʻa fakatatau: vakai, ʻoku ne toʻo hake ʻae ngaahi motu ʻo hangē ko e meʻa siʻi ʻaupito.
15εἰ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὡς σταγὼν ἀπὸ κάδου καὶ ὡς ροπὴ ζυγοῦ ἐλογίσθησαν καὶ ὡς σίελος λογισθήσονται·
16Pea ʻoku siʻi ʻa Lepanoni ke tutu, pea ʻoku siʻi ʻae fanga manu ʻi ai ki ha feilaulau tutu.
16ὁ δὲ Λίβανος οὐχ ἱκανὸς εἰς καῦσιν, καὶ πάντα τὰ τετράποδα οὐχ ἱκανὰ εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν,
17ʻOku hangē ko e meʻa noa pe ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻi hono ʻao; pea ʻoku lau ia kiate ia ko e siʻi hifo ʻi he meʻa noa pe, mo e vaʻinga.
17καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὡς οὐδέν εἰσι καὶ εἰς οὐθὲν ἐλογίσθησαν.
18Pea te mou fakatatau kia hai ʻae ʻOtua? Pe ko e hā ha fakatātā te mou fakatatau kiate ia?
18τίνι ὡμοιώσατε Κύριον καὶ τίνι ὁμοιώματι ὡμοιώσατε αὐτόν;
19ʻOku haka ʻe he tangata tufunga ha tamapua, pea ko e tufunga koula ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae koula, pea ʻoku ne ngaohi ʻae kahoa fihifihi ʻaki ʻae siliva
19μὴ εἰκόνα ἐποίησε τέκτων, ἢ χρυσοχόος χωνεύσας χρυσίον περιεχρύσωσεν αὐτόν, ὁμοίωμα κατεσκεύασεν αὐτόν;
20Ko ia ʻoku lahi ʻene masiva pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻane feilaulau, ʻoku ne fili ha ʻakau ʻe ʻikai popo; ʻoku ne kumi kiate ia ha tufunga poto ke fokotuʻu ha tamapua kuo tā ʻaia ʻe ʻikai ueʻi.
20ξύλον γὰρ ἄσηπτον ἐκλέγεται τέκτων καὶ σοφῶς ζητεῖ πῶς στήσει εἰκόνα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἵνα μὴ σαλεύητε.
21Kuo taʻeʻilo ʻekimoutolu? Naʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo? ʻIkai kuo fakahā kiate kimoutolu mei he kamataʻanga? ʻIkai kuo mou ʻilo talu mei he ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani?
21οὐ γνώσεσθε; οὐκ ἀκούσεσθε; οὐκ ἀνηγγέλη ἐξ ἀρχῆς ὑμῖν; οὐκ ἔγνωτε τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς;
22Ko ia ia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi he takatakai ʻo māmani, pea ko e kakai ʻoku nofo ai ʻoku tatau kiate ia mo e fanga heʻe; ko ia ia ʻoku ne fofola ʻae ngaahi langi ʻo hangē ko e puipui, pea folahi ia ʻo hangē ko e fale fehikitaki ke nofo ai:
22ὁ κατέχων τὸν γῦρον τῆς γῆς, καὶ οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ ὡς ἀκρίδες, ὁ στήσας ὡς καμάραν τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ διατείνας ὡς σκηνὴν κατοικεῖν,
23Ko ia ʻoku ne fakahifo ki lalo ʻae houʻeiki ke ʻikai; ʻoku ne ngaohi ʻae kau fakamaau ʻoe fonua ko e vaʻinga.
23ὁ διδοὺς ἄρχοντας ὡς οὐδὲν ἄρχειν, τὴν δὲ γῆν ὡς οὐδὲν ἐποίησεν.
24ʻIo, ʻe ʻikai tō ʻakinautolu; ʻio, ʻe ʻikai tūtuuʻi ʻakinautolu: ʻio, ʻe ʻikai aka ʻi he kelekele honau tefito: pea te ne ifi kiate kinautolu, pea te nau mae, pea ʻe ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻahiohio ʻo hangē ko e veve.
24οὐ γὰρ μὴ φυτεύσωσιν, οὐδὲ μὴ σπείρωσιν, οὐδὲ μὴ ριζωθῇ εἰς τὴν γῆν ἡ ρίζα αὐτῶν· ἔπνευσεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξηράνθησαν, καὶ καταιγὶς ὡς φρύγανα λήψεται αὐτούς.
25“ʻOku pehē ʻe he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni, Pea te mou fakatatau au kia hai, pe te u tatau mo hai?
25νῦν οὖν τίνι με ὡμοιώσατε καὶ ὑψωθήσομαι; εἶπεν ὁ ἅγιος.
26Hiki hake homou mata ki ʻolunga, pea vakai pe ko hai kuo ne fakatupu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻaia ʻoku ne lau mo taki kituʻa honau tokolahi; ʻoku ne ui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi honau hingoa ʻi he lahi ʻo hono māfimafi, koeʻuhi ʻoku mālohi ia ʻi he māfimafi, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku taʻehāmai.
26ἀναβλέψατε εἰς ὕψος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ ἴδετε, τίς κατέδειξε ταῦτα πάντα; ὁ ἐκφέρων κατ᾿ ἀριθμὸν τὸν κόσμον αὐτοῦ πάντας ἐπ᾿ ὀνόματι καλέσει· ἀπὸ πολλῆς δόξης καὶ ἐν κράτει ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ οὐδέν σε ἔλαθε.
27Ko e hā ʻoku ke pehē, ʻe Sēkope, pea ke pehē, ʻE ʻIsileli, “Kuo fufū hoku hala meia Sihova, pea kuo taʻetokanga ʻa hoku ʻOtua ki hoku fakamaau?”
27Μὴ γὰρ εἶπῃς, Ἰακώβ, καὶ τί ἐλάλησας, Ἰσραήλ· ἀπεκρύβη ἡ ὁδός μου ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ὁ Θεός μου τὴν κρίσιν ἀφεῖλε καὶ ἀπέστη;
28¶ “ʻIkai naʻa ke ʻilo? ʻIkai naʻa ke fanongo, ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua taʻengata ia, ko e Tupuʻanga ʻoe ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻoku ʻikai pongia ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai vaivai? ʻOku taʻefaʻaʻiloʻi ʻa ʻene ʻilo.
28καὶ νῦν οὐκ ἔγνως εἰ μὴ ἤκουσας; Θεὸς αἰώνιος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ κατασκευάσας τὰ ἄκρα τῆς γῆς, οὐ πεινάσει, οὐδὲ κοπιάσει, οὐδέ ἐστιν ἐξεύρεσις τῆς φρονήσεως αὐτοῦ·
29ʻOku ne foaki ʻae mālohi ki he vaivai; pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau mālohi ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻae mālohi.
29διδοὺς τοῖς πεινῶσιν ἰσχὺν καὶ τοῖς μὴ ὀδυνωμένοις λύπην.
30ʻIo ʻe pongia ʻae fānau tupu pea vaivai, pea ʻe hinga ʻaupito mo e kau talavou:
30πεινάσουσι γὰρ νεώτεροι, καὶ κοπιάσουσι νεανίσκοι, καὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ ἀνίσχυες ἔσονται·
31Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku tatali kia Sihova ʻe fakafoʻou honau mālohi; te nau puna hake ʻaki ʻae kapakau ʻo hangē ko e fanga ʻikale; te nau lele ka e ʻikai vaivai; pea te nau ʻeveʻeva, kā ʻe ʻikai pongia.”
31οἱ δὲ ὑπομένοντες τὸν Θεὸν ἀλλάξουσιν ἰσχύν, πτεροφυήσουιν ὡς ἀετοί, δραμοῦνται καὶ οὐ κοπιάσουσι, βαδιοῦνται καὶ οὐ πεινάσουσιν.
