ʻIsaia.
30.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE malaʻia ʻae fānau talangataʻa, ʻaia ʻoku fakakaukau kae ʻikai ʻiate au; pea ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae meʻa ʻufiʻufi; ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoku laumālie, koeʻuhi ke nau fakalahi ʻae angahala ki he angahala 
‌ʻOku nau fononga ke ʻalu hifo ki ʻIsipite ke fakamālohi ʻakinautolu ʻi he mālohi ʻo Felo, pea ke faʻaki ki he malu ʻo ʻIsipite; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fehuʻi ki hoku fofonga! 
Ko ia ʻe hoko ʻae mālohi ʻo Felo ko homou manga, pea ko e falala ki he malu ʻo ʻIsipite ko homou maveuveu. 
He ko hono ngaahi houʻeiki naʻe ʻi Soani, pea naʻe haʻu ʻene kau talafekau ki Hanesi. 
Naʻa nau mā kotoa pē ʻi he kakai naʻe taʻeʻaonga kiate kinautolu, naʻe ʻikai ko ha tokoni pe ko e ʻaonga, ka ko e fakamā pea mo e ongokovi. 
Ko e kavenga ʻoe ngaahi manu ʻoku ʻave ki he potu tonga: ki he fonua ʻoe mamahi mo e ongosia, ʻaia ʻoku haʻu mei ai ʻae laione mui mo e laione motuʻa, ʻae ngata fekai pea mo e ngata afi ʻoku puna, te nau fua ʻenau koloa ʻi he uma ʻoe fanga ʻasi mui, mo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa ʻi he hula ʻoe fanga kāmeli, ki ha kakai ʻe ʻikai ʻaonga kiate kinautolu. 
He ko e meʻa vaʻinga pea taʻeʻaonga, ʻae tokoni mei he kakai ʻo ʻIsipite, ko ia kuo u kalanga ʻi he meʻa ni, Ko honau mālohi ke nofo pe. 
¶ Te ke ʻalu ni ʻo tohi ia ʻi honau ʻao ʻi he palepale, pea tohi ia ʻi ha tohi koeʻuhi ko e kuonga ki mui ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. 
‌ʻO pehē, ko e kakai angatuʻu eni, ko e fānau loi, ko e fānau ʻoku ʻikai fie fanongo ki he fono ʻa Sihova: 
‌ʻOku nau pehē ki he kau kikite, ʻoua naʻa mamata, pea ki he kau palōfita, ʻoua ʻe fakahā kiate kimautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa totonu; lea ʻaki kiate kimautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa mālie, kikite ʻaki ʻae ngaahi kākā: 
Tuʻu ki he ʻatā mei he hala, afe atu mei he hala, tuku ke mole ʻi hotau ʻao ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli. 
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli, Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fehiʻa ki he folofola ni, pea falala ki he fakamālohi mo e mioʻi, mo faʻaki ki ai: 
Ko ia ʻe hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻae hia ni ʻo hangē ʻae foaʻi ha ʻā maka ʻoku teitei hinga, ʻo hangē ko ha mafahi ʻi ha ʻā māʻolunga ʻoku hoko hono maumau fakafokifā ʻi ha kemo pe taha. 
Pea te ne maumau ia ʻo hangē ko e maumau ʻae ipu ʻoe tufunga ngaohi ipu ʻaia kuo foaʻi ʻo lailai; ʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi: ko ia ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻi hono pā ʻo ia ha konga ke vela ʻi he veʻe afi, pe ʻutu ʻaki ha vai mei he luo. 
He ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻI he tafoki mo e nofo pe te mou moʻui ai; ʻi he angavaivai mo e tui ʻe ai homou mālohi: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou loto ki ai. 
Ka naʻa mou pehē, “ʻE ʻikai; ka te mau hola ʻi he fanga hoosi; ko ia te mou hola:” pea, “Te mau heka ʻi he veʻe vave; ko ia ʻe veʻe vave foki mo kinautolu ʻoku tuli ʻakimoutolu.” 
‌ʻE hola ʻae toko taha afe ʻi he valoki ʻo ha tokotaha; ʻi he valoki ʻoe toko nima te mou hola ai: kaeʻoua ke tuku ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko ha ʻakau fakaʻilonga ʻi he tumutumu ʻo ha moʻunga, pea hangē ko ha fuka ʻi he tafungofunga. 
¶ Pea ko ia ʻe tatali ai ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu, pea ko ia ʻe fakahikihikiʻi ia, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu: he ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe fakamaau: ʻoku monūʻia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tatali kiate ia. 
Koeʻuhi ʻe nofo ʻae kakai ʻi Saione ʻi Selūsalema: ʻe ʻikai te ke toe tangi: te ne fai lelei lahi kiate koe ʻi he leʻo ʻo hoʻo tangi; ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai, te ne talia koe. 
Pea neongo ʻae ʻatu kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻae mā ʻoe ongosia, pea mo e vai ʻoe mamahi, ka e ʻikai toe ʻave hoʻo kau akonaki ki ha tuliki, ka e mamata ʻe ho mata ki hoʻo kau akonaki. 
Pea ka ke ka afe ki he toʻomataʻu, pea ʻi hoʻo afe ki he toʻohema, ʻe fanongo ʻe ho telinga ki ha lea mei ho tuʻa, ʻo pehē, “Ko eni ʻae hala, ke ke ʻalu ʻi ai.” 
Te mou fakalieliaʻi foki ʻae ʻufiʻufi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamapua siliva kuo tongitongi, pea mo e teunga ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamapua koula kuo haka: te ke liʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko ha kofu fakalielia; te ke pehē ki ai, “ʻAlu koe ʻi heni.” 
Pea te ne toki foaki ʻae ʻuha ki hoʻo ngaahi tenga, koeʻuhi ke ke tūtuuʻi ki he kelekele; mo e mā ko e fua ʻoe kelekele, pea ʻe lahi ia pea mahu: pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe kai ʻe ho fanga manu ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻataʻatā. 
Pea ko e fanga pulu mo e fanga ʻasi mui ʻoku fakamolū ʻae kelekele, te nau kai ʻae meʻakai lelei, ʻaia kuo fakamaʻa ʻaki ʻae fohe mo e lī. 
Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he ngaahi tafungofunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, ʻae ngaahi vai mo e vaitafe ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tāmateʻi lahi, ʻoka hinga ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga. 
Pea ʻe tatau ʻae maama ʻoe māhina mo e maama ʻoe laʻā, pea ʻe liunga fitu hono lahi hake ʻoe maama ʻoe laʻā, ʻo hangē ko e maama ʻoe ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku nonoʻo ai ʻe Sihova ʻae lavea ʻo hono kakai, pea fakamoʻui ʻae volu ʻo honau teʻia. 
¶ Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova mei he mamaʻo, ʻoku vela ʻi hono houhau, pea ʻoku mamafa ʻae kavenga ʻo ia: ʻoku fonu hono muʻa fofonga ʻi he houhau, pea hangē ko e afi fakaʻauha hono ʻelelo. 
Pea ko ʻene mānava, ʻoku hangē ko e vaitafe ʻoku lōfia, ʻe hake ia ʻo aʻu ki he kia, ke lī ki ʻolunga ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaki ʻae fohe ʻoe malaʻia: pea ʻe ai ha meʻa taʻofi ʻi he ngao ʻoe kakai, ke fakahalaʻi ʻakinautolu. 
Te mou fai ha hiva, ʻo hangē ko e pō ʻoka fai ai ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni; pea maʻu mo e fiefia ʻoe loto, ʻo hangē ha taha ʻoku ʻalu mo e meʻa ifi ke haʻu ki he moʻunga ʻo Sihova, ki he Toko Taha Māfimafi ʻo ʻIsileli. 
Pea ʻe fakaongo atu ʻe Sihova hono leʻo mālohi, pea ʻe fakahā ʻae tuku hifo ʻa hono nima, ʻaki ʻae māsila ʻo hono houhau, pea mo e ulo ʻoe afi fakaʻauha, ʻaki ʻae veteki, mo e afā, mo e ʻuha maka. 
Ko e leʻo ʻo Sihova ʻe tā hifo ai ʻae kakai ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻaia naʻe tā ʻaki honau tokotoko. 
Pea ko e potu kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu ia ki ai, ʻe ʻi ai ʻae meʻa tā ʻoe tautea, ʻaia ʻe ai mamafa ʻe Sihova kiate ia: ʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae ngaahi lali iiki mo e haʻape: pea ʻi he ngaahi tau fakamanavahē te ne tauʻi ʻakinautolu. 
He kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻi muʻa ʻa Tofeti; ʻio, kuo teuteu ia maʻa e tuʻi; kuo ne ngaohi ia ke loloto pea laulahi: ko e fokotuʻunga ia ʻoe afi mo e fefie lahi: ʻoku tutu ia ʻe he mānava ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e sulifa ʻoku tafe.
