< Ezekiel 26 >
1 Now in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono hongofulu ma taha taʻu, ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
2 Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she who was the doorway of the peoples is broken; she is turned over to them; she who was full is made waste;
“Foha ʻoe tangata, koeʻuhi kuo lea pehē ʻe Taia ki Selūsalema, ‘Maʻitoʻa, kuo maumauʻi ia, ko e matanikolo naʻe kakaiʻia: kuo tafoki mai kiate au: te u maʻumeʻa au ʻi hono fakalala.’
3 For this cause the Lord has said, See, I am against you, O Tyre, and will send up a number of nations against you as the sea sends up its waves.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu kiate koe, ʻE Taia, pea te u pule ke ʻalu hake kiate koe ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ʻo hangē ko e loloma hake ʻe he tahi ʻa hono peau.
4 And they will give the walls of Tyre to destruction and have its towers broken: and I will take even her dust away from her, and make her an uncovered rock
Pea te nau maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻā ʻo Taia, pea holoki hifo hono ngaahi fale leʻo māʻolunga: Te u vaku foki hono efu meiate ia, pea te u ngaohi ia ke tatau mo e funga maka pē.
5 She will be a place for the stretching out of nets in the middle of the sea; for I have said it, says the Lord: and her goods will be given over to the nations.
ʻE hoko ia ko e potu tautauʻanga kupenga ʻi he loto tahi: he ko au ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua, kuo lea ki ai: pea ʻe hoko ia ko e koloa vete ki he ngaahi puleʻanga.
6 And her daughters in the open country will be put to the sword: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
Pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻa hono ngaahi ʻofefine ʻaia ʻe ʻi he ngoueʻanga: pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
7 For this is what the Lord has said: See, I will send up from the north Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, king of kings, against Tyre, with horses and war-carriages and with an army and great numbers of people.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: “Vakai te u ʻomi ki Taia ʻa Nepukalesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ko e tuʻi ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi, mei he tokelau, ʻe haʻu mo e hoosi, pea mo e saliote, pea mo e kau heka hoosi, mo e ngaahi matatau, mo e kakai tokolahi.
8 He will put to the sword your daughters in the open country: he will make strong walls against you and put up an earthwork against you, arming himself for war against you.
Te ne tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻa ho ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoku ʻi he ngoueʻanga: pea te ne ngaohi kolo kiate koe, mo tanu puke kiate koe, pea hiki hake ʻae mahafutau kiate koe.
9 He will put up his engines of war against your walls, and your towers will be broken down by his axes.
Pea te ne fokotuʻu ʻae nāunau ʻoe tau ki ho ngaahi ʻā, pea ʻe maumau ʻaki hono toki ʻa ho ngaahi fale leʻo māʻolunga.
10 Because of the number of his horses you will be covered with their dust: your walls will be shaking at the noise of the horsemen and of the wheels and of the war-carriages, when he comes through your doorways, as into a town which has been broken open.
Pea ʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki koe ʻae efu ko e meʻa ʻi he tokolahi ʻo ʻene fanga hoosi: ʻe ngalulu ho ngaahi ʻā ʻi he longoaʻa ʻae kau heka hoosi mo e vaʻe saliote, mo e ngaahi saliote, ʻoka hū ia ki ho ngaahi matapā ʻo hangē ko e ʻoho ʻae kakai ki ha kolo ʻoku kapasi.
11 Your streets will be stamped down by the feet of his horses: he will put your people to the sword, and will send down the pillars of your strength to the earth.
ʻE malaki ʻaki ʻae vaʻe ʻo ʻene fanga hoosi ho hala kotoa pē: te ne tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻa hoʻo kakai, pea ʻe holoki hifo ki he kelekele ʻa hoʻo ngaahi kolo tau mālohi.
12 They will take by force all your wealth and go off with the goods with which you do trade: they will have your walls broken down and all the houses of your desire given up to destruction: they will put your stones and your wood and your dust deep in the water.
Pea te nau veteki ʻa hoʻo koloa, pea maʻu fakamālohi hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakatau: pea te nau holoki ho ngaahi ʻā, mo maumauʻi ho ngaahi fale fakasanisani: pea te nau laku ki loto tahi hoʻo ngaahi maka mo hoʻo ʻakau, pea mo ho efu.
13 I will put an end to the noise of your songs, and the sound of your instruments of music will be gone for ever.
Pea te u ngaohi ke longo hifo ʻae leʻo ʻo hoʻo kau fasi hiva; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ongo mai ʻae tatangi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi haʻape.
14 I will make you an uncovered rock: you will be a place for the stretching out of nets; there will be no building you up again: for I the Lord have said it, says the Lord.
Pea te u ngaohi koe ke tatau mo e funga maka: te ke hoko koe ko e potu tautauʻanga kupenga; ʻe ʻikai toe langa koe: he ko au ko Sihova, kuo u lea ki ai, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
15 This is what the Lord has said to Tyre: Will not the sea-lands be shaking at the sound of your fall, when the wounded give cries of pain, when men are put to the sword in you?
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ki Taia; “ʻIkai ʻe tetetete ʻae ngaahi motu ʻi he longoaʻa ʻo hoʻo hinga, ʻoka pā hake ʻae tangi ʻanautolu kuo teʻia, ʻoka hoko ʻae tāmateʻi ʻi loto ʻiate koe?
16 Then all the rulers of the sea will come down from their high seats, and put away their robes and take off their clothing of needlework: they will put on the clothing of grief, they will take their seats on the earth, shaking with fear every minute and overcome with wonder at you.
ʻE ʻalu hifo ai ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe tahi, mei honau ngaahi nofoʻa fakatuʻi, pea tuku atu honau ngaahi kofu; te na kofuʻaki ʻae manavahē; te nau nofo hifo ki he kelekele, pea te nau tetetete maʻuaipē, pea nau ofo ʻaupito koeʻuhi ko koe.
17 And they will send up a song of grief for you, and say to you, What destruction has come on you, how are you cut off from the sea, the noted town, which was strong in the sea, she and her people, causing the fear of them to come on all the dry land!
Pea te nau fai ʻae tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko koe, ʻo pehē kiate koe, ʻOiauē ʻa ho maumauʻi, ʻa koe naʻe fakakakai ʻe he kau toutai, ʻa koe ko e kolo ongoongo, ʻaia naʻe mālohi ʻi tahi, ʻaia pea mo hono kakai, ʻa koe naʻa ke fakamanavahēʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
18 Now the sea-lands will be shaking in the day of your fall; and all the ships on the sea will be overcome with fear at your going.
ʻE tetetete ʻae ngaahi motu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe holoki ai koe; ʻio, ʻe puputuʻu ʻae ngaahi motu ʻoe tahi ko e meʻa ʻi he hiki atu koe.”
19 For this is what the Lord has said: I will make you a waste town, like the towns which are unpeopled; when I make the deep come upon you, covering you with great waters.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻO kau ka ngaohi koe ko e kolo kuo lala, ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi kolo ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha kakai; ʻo kau ka ʻomi ʻae tahi kiate koe pea lōmaki ʻaki koe ʻae moana loloto.
20 Then I will make you go down with those who go down into the underworld, to the people of the past, causing your living-place to be in the deepest parts of the earth, in places long unpeopled, with those who go down into the deep, so that there will be no one living in you; and you will have no glory in the land of the living.
ʻO kau ka fakahifo koe ki lalo fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo, pea mo e kakai naʻe ʻi muʻa ange, pea u tuku koe ki he potu māʻulalo ʻoe kelekele, ʻi he ngaahi potu siʻaki talu mei muʻa, ke fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ke kei kakai; pea te u fokotuʻu ʻae nāunau ʻi he fonua ʻae moʻui;
21 I will make you a thing of fear, and you will come to an end: even if you are looked for, you will not be seen again for ever, says the Lord.
Te u ngaohi koe ko e meʻa fakaʻulia, pea te ke ʻikai ʻo taʻengata: neongo ha kumi kiate koe, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito toe ʻilo koe,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
