1ʻOku ʻiate au ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sihova; koeʻuhi kuo fakanofo au ʻe Sihova ke u malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he angamalū; kuo ne fekau au ke nonoʻo ʻae loto mafesi, ke fakahā ʻae tauʻatāina ki he kau pōpula, pea ke fakaava ʻae fale fakapōpula kiate kinautolu kuo haʻisia;
1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners,
2Ke fakahā ʻae taʻu lelei ʻo Sihova, pea ko e ʻaho ʻoe houhau ʻo hotau ʻOtua; ke fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku mamahi;
2to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn,
3Ke ʻatu ʻae fiefia kiate kinautolu ʻoku mamahi ʻi Saione, ke ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻae hoihoifua ko e fetongi ʻoe efuefu, ʻae lolo ʻoe fiefia ko e fetongi ʻoe mamahi, ʻae kofu ʻoe fakamālō ko e fetongi ʻoe laumālie kuo mafesi; ke ui ʻakinautolu ko e ngaahi ʻakau ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, naʻe tō ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ongoongolelei ai ia.
3to console the mourners in Zion— to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
4Pea te nau langa ʻaia naʻe muʻaki maumau, te nau toe fokotuʻu ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha fuoloa, pea te nau fakafoʻou ʻae ngaahi kolo kuo liʻaki, ko e maumau ʻoe toʻutangata toko lahi.
4They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.
5Pea ʻe tuʻu ʻae kau muli ʻo fafanga hoʻomou fanga manu, pea ʻe hoko ʻae fānau ʻae muli ko hoʻomou kau tangata ngoue mo hoʻomou kau tauhi vaine.
5Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.
6Ka e fakahingoa ʻakimoutolu ko e ngaahi Taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova: ʻe ui ʻakimoutolu ʻe he kakai ko e kau Faifekau ʻa hotau ʻOtua: te mou kai ʻae koloa ʻae kakai Senitaile, pea ʻi heʻenau ongoongolelei ʻe polepole ai ʻakimoutolu.
6But you will be called the priests of the LORD; they will speak of you as ministers of our God; you will feed on the wealth of nations, and you will boast in their riches.
7Koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou mā te mou maʻu ʻae totongi ke liunga ua, pea ʻe fetongi ʻaki hoʻomou fakamaaʻi ʻae fiefia ʻi honau tofiʻa; he te mou maʻu ke liunga ua hake ʻae tofiʻa ʻi honau fonua pea temou fiefia ai ʻo taʻengata.
7Instead of shame, My people will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation, they will rejoice in their share; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.
8“He ko au ko Sihova ʻoku ou ʻofa ki he fakamaau, ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he kaihaʻa ke feilaulau tutu ʻaki; pea te u fakahinohino ʻenau ngāue ʻi he moʻoni, pea te u fai ʻae fuakava taʻengata mo kinautolu.
8For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity; in My faithfulness I will give them their recompense and make an everlasting covenant with them.
9Pea ʻe ʻilo honau hako ʻe he kakai Senitaile, pea mo ʻenau fānau ʻi he kakai: ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku mamata kiate kinautolu, te nau fakahā ʻakinautolu ko e hako kuo tāpuakiʻi ʻe Sihova.”
9Their descendants will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed.
10Te u fiefia lahi ʻia Sihova, ʻe nekeneka hoku laumālie ʻi hoku ʻOtua: he kuo ne fakakofuʻaki au ʻae kofu ʻoe fakamoʻui, kuo ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki au ʻae kofu tōtōlofa ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, ʻo hangē ko e tangata taʻane ʻoku teuʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa teunga, pea hangē ʻoku teuʻi ʻaki ʻe he taʻahine fakamaʻu hono ngaahi maka koloa.
10I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11ʻO hangē ʻoku tupu mei he kelekele hono moto, pea mo e ngoue ʻoku ne fakatupu hake ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tūtuuʻi ki ai; ʻe pehē, ʻe pule ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ke tupu hake ʻae māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamālō ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
11For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.
