Berean Standard Bible
1ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko hoku ʻafioʻanga ʻae langi, pea ko hoku tuʻuʻanga vaʻe ʻa māmani: kofaʻā ia ʻae fale ʻoku mou langa kiate au? Pea kofaʻā ia ʻae potu ʻo ʻeku mālōlō?
1This is what the LORD says: “Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me? Or where will My place of repose be?
2He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko e ngaahi meʻa na kotoa pē naʻe ngaohi ʻe hoku nima, pea kuo ʻi ai pe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ko ia: ka te u vakai ki he tangata ni, ʻio, kiate ia ʻoku masiva pea ʻoku loto fakatomala moʻoni, pea ʻoku tetetete ʻi heʻeku folofola.
2Has not My hand made all these things? And so they came into being,” declares the LORD. “This is the one I will esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, who trembles at My word.
3Ko ia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi ʻae pulu ʻoku hangē ia kuo ne tāmateʻi ha tangata; ko ia ʻoku ne feilaulau ʻaki ha lami, ʻo hangē kuo ne tuʻusi ke motu ʻae kia ʻoe kulī; ko ia ʻoku ne ʻatu ha feilaulau, ʻoku hangē kuo ne ʻatu ʻae toto ʻoe puaka; ko ia ʻoku ne tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala, ʻo hangē kuo ne tāpuaki ha tamapua. ʻIo, kuo nau fili honau ngaahi hala, pea ʻoku fiefia honau laumālie ʻi heʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalielia.
3Whoever slaughters an ox is like one who slays a man; whoever sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever presents a grain offering is like one who offers pig’s blood; whoever offers frankincense is like one who blesses an idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways and delighted in their abominations.
4Pea ko au foki te u tuʻutuʻuni ʻenau ngaahi mamahi, pea ko e meʻa ʻoku nau manavahē ki ai te u ʻomi kiate kinautolu; koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku ui, naʻe ʻikai tali ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi heʻeku lea, naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo, kā naʻa nau fai kovi ʻi hoku ʻao, pea naʻa nau fili ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fiemālie ai.”
4So I will choose their punishment and I will bring terror upon them, because I called and no one answered, I spoke and no one listened. But they did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”
5Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku tetetete ki heʻene folofola; “Ko homou ngaahi kāinga naʻe fehiʻa kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapusi kituʻa ʻakimoutolu koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, naʻa nau pehē, ‘Ke ongoongoleleiʻia ʻa Sihova: ka e ʻafio ia ko homou fakafiefia,’ pea ʻe mā ʻakinautolu.
5You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: “Your brothers who hate you and exclude you because of My name have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified that we may see your joy!’ But they will be put to shame.”
6Ko e leʻo ʻoe longoaʻa mei he kolo, ko e leʻo mei he falelotu lahi, ko e leʻo ʻo Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ne totongi totonu ki hono ngaahi fili.
6Hear the uproar from the city; listen to the voice from the temple! It is the voice of the LORD, repaying His enemies what they deserve!
7“ʻI he teʻeki ai ke langā, naʻa ne fāʻeleʻi, ʻi he teʻeki ai ke mamahi ia, naʻe fāʻeleʻi ia ʻae tamasiʻi tangata.
7“Before she was in labor, she gave birth; before she was in pain, she delivered a boy.
8Ko hai kuo ne fanongo ki ha meʻa pehē? Ko hai kuo ne mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa pehē? ʻE faʻa ngaohi ʻa māmani ke fanauʻi ʻi he ʻaho pe taha? Pe ʻe fanauʻi fakafokifā ha puleʻanga? He naʻe kamata langa pe ʻa Saione, pea fanauʻi leva ʻa ʻene fānau.
8Who has heard of such as this? Who has seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be delivered in an instant? Yet as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children.
9ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, He te u ʻomi ke fanauʻi, ka e ʻikai te u ngaohi ke fāʻele?” ʻOku pehē ʻe ho ʻOtua, He te u ngaohi ke fānau, kae tāpuni ʻae manāva ?
9Shall I bring a baby to the point of birth and not deliver it?” says the LORD. “Or will I who deliver close the womb?” says your God.
10“Ke fiefia ʻakimoutolu mo Selūsalema, pea nekeneka mo ia, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia: mou fiefia ʻi he fiefia mo ia, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku mamahi koeʻuhi ko ia:
10Be glad for Jerusalem and rejoice over her, all who love her. Rejoice greatly with her, all who mourn over her,
11Koeʻuhi ke mou huhu, pea mākona ʻi he huʻahuhu ʻo ʻene fakafiemālie? Koeʻuhi ke mou mimisi, pea fiefia ʻi hono lahi ʻo hono nāunau.
11so that you may nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you may drink deeply and delight yourselves in her glorious abundance.
12He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, te u tuku ʻae melino kiate ia ʻo hangē ko e vaitafe, pea ko e nāunau ʻoe Senitaile ʻo hangē ko e vaitafe laulahi: pea te mou toki huhu, ʻe fua ʻakimoutolu ʻi hono vakavaka, pea lulululu ʻe hono ongo tui.
12For this is what the LORD says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flowing stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm, and bounced upon her knees.
13ʻO hangē ko e tokotaha ʻoku fakafiemālie ki ai ʻene faʻē, ʻe pehē ʻeku fakafiemālie kiate koe; pea ʻe fakafiemālieʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi Selūsalema.”
13As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you, and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
14Pea ka mou ka mamata ki he meʻa ni, ʻe fiefia homou loto, pea moʻui homou hui ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau mata: pea ʻe hā ʻae nima ʻo Sihova ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo hono houhau ki hono ngaahi fili.
14When you see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants, but His wrath will be shown to His enemies.
15Kae vakai, ʻe hāʻele mai ʻa Sihova mo e afi, pea hangē ko e ʻahiohio ʻa ʻene ngaahi saliote, ke ʻatu hono houhau ʻi he mālohi, pea mo ʻene valoki ʻaki ʻae ulo ʻoe afi.
15For behold, the LORD will come with fire— His chariots are like a whirlwind— to execute His anger with fury and His rebuke with flames of fire.
16Koeʻuhi ʻe fai ʻe Sihova mo e kakano kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae afi mo ʻene heletā: pea ko e tokolahi ʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Sihova.
16For by fire and by His sword, the LORD will execute judgment on all flesh, and many will be slain by the LORD.
17ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE ʻauha fakataha, ʻakinautolu ʻoku teuteu mo fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngoue ʻi he tuʻa ʻakau ʻe taha ʻi he lotolotonga, ʻo kai ʻae kakano ʻoe puaka, pea mo e meʻa fakalielia, pea mo e kumā.
17“Those who consecrate and purify themselves to enter the groves—to follow one in the center of those who eat the flesh of swine and vermin and rats—will perish together,” declares the LORD.
18“He ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻenau ngaahi ngāue pea mo ʻenau ngaahi mahalo: ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, te u tānaki ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē mo e lea kehekehe kotoa pē; pea te nau haʻu, ʻo mamata ki hoku nāunau.
18“And I, knowing their deeds and thoughts, am coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.
19“Pea te u ai ha fakaʻilonga ʻiate kinautolu, pea te u fekau ʻakinautolu ʻoku hao ʻiate kinautolu ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, ki Tasisi, mo Puli, mo Luti, ʻakinautolu ʻoku teke ʻae kaufana, ki Tupale, mo Savani, ki he ngaahi motu mamaʻo, ʻaia ʻoku teʻeki ai ke fanongo ki hoku ongoongo, pea teʻeki ai ke mamata ki hoku nāunau; pea te nau fakahā hoku nāunau ki he kakai Senitaile.
19I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud; to Tubal, Javan, and the islands far away who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. So they will proclaim My glory among the nations.
20Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, te nau ʻomi homou ngaahi kāinga kotoa pē ko e feilaulau kia Sihova mei he puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻi he fanga hoosi, pea ʻi he ngaahi meʻa teka, pea ʻi he meʻa fata, pea ʻi he fanga miuli, pea ʻi he fanga manu veʻe vave, ki hoku moʻunga tapu ko Selūsalema, ʻo hangē naʻe ʻomi ʻe he fānau ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae feilaulau ʻi he ipu maʻa ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
20And they will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the LORD on horses and chariots and wagons, on mules and camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD, “just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.”
21Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Te u fokotuʻu ʻiate kinautolu foki ʻae kau taulaʻeiki pea mo e kau Livai.”
21“And I will select some of them as priests and Levites,” says the LORD.
22ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻO hangē ko e tuʻumaʻu ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻae ngaahi langi foʻou pea mo e maama foʻou, ʻaia te u ngaohi, ʻe pehē ʻae tuʻumaʻu ʻo homou hako mo homou hingoa.
22“For just as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will endure before Me,” declares the LORD, “so your descendants and your name will endure.
23Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻE haʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ke lotu ʻi hoku ʻao, mei he māhina foʻou ʻe taha ʻo aʻu ki he māhina foʻou ʻe taha, pea mei he ʻaho tapu ʻe taha ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho tapu ʻe taha.
23From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come to worship before Me,” says the LORD.
24“Pea te nau ʻalu atu, pea sio ki he ngaahi ʻangaʻanga ʻoe kakai naʻe angatuʻu kiate au: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai mate honau ʻuanga, pea ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻenau afi; pea te nau hoko ko e fehiʻanekina ki he kakai kotoa pē.”
24“As they go forth, they will see the corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me; for their worm will never die, their fire will never be quenched, and they will be a horror to all mankind.”
