Jeremiah 49

1 Concerning the children of Ammon. Thus saith Jehovah: Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? Why is Malcam heir of Gad, and his people dwell in the cities thereof?

‌ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ki he kau ʻAmoni; “ʻIkai ʻoku maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi foha? ʻIkai ʻoku ai hono hoko? Ko e hā ʻoku maʻu ʻe honau tuʻi ʻa Kata, pea nofo ʻa hono kakai ʻi hono ngaahi kolo?

2 Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will cause the clamour of war to be heard in Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall be a desolate heap; and her towns shall be burned with fire; and Israel shall possess them that possessed him, saith Jehovah.

Ko ia, vakai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku hoko mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia te u fakatupu ai ʻae ongoongo tau ʻi Lapa, ʻi he kau ʻAmoni; pea ʻe hoko ia ko e tuʻunga meʻa liʻaki, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻaki ʻae afi ʻa hono ngaahi ʻofefine: pea ʻe toki maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae nofoʻanga ʻonautolu naʻa nau maʻu hono nofoʻanga,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

3 Howl, Heshbon! for Ai is laid waste; cry, daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth, lament and run to and fro within the enclosures: for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

“ʻE Hesiponi, ke ke tangi mamahi, he kuo maumauʻi ʻa ʻAi: pea tangi ʻakimoutolu ko e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Lapa, mou ʻai ʻae tauangaʻa; pea tangilāulau, pea femaleleaki ki he ngaahi ʻā; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻa honau tuʻi, mo ʻene kau taulaʻeiki pea mo hono houʻeiki fakataha.

4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys? Thy valley shall flow down, O backsliding daughter, that trusteth in her treasures, [saying, ] Who shall come against me?

Ko e hā ʻoku ke polepole ai ʻi he ngaahi teleʻa, ko ho ngaahi teleʻa mahu, ʻE ʻofefine fakaholomui? ʻAia naʻe falala ki heʻene ngaahi koloa, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko hai te ne haʻu kiate au?’

5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts, from all that are about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall assemble the fugitives.

“Vakai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Te u ʻomi ʻae ilifia kiate koe, meiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai koe; pea ʻe kapusi atu ʻakimoutolu ʻae tangata taki taha; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻomi ʻe ha taha ʻaia kuo hola.

6 And afterwards I will turn the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith Jehovah.

Pea hili ia te u toe ʻomi ʻae fakapōpula ʻoe kakai ʻAmoni, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”

7 Concerning Edom. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Is there no more wisdom in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom spent?

Ko e meʻa ʻoku kau ki ʻItomi: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “ʻIkai ʻoku kei toe ʻae poto ʻi Timani? Kuo ʻosi ʻae fakakaukau ʻi he kau fakapotopoto? Kuo mole ʻenau poto?

8 Flee, turn back, dwell deep down, ye inhabitants of Dedan! For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I visit him.

Mou hola, ʻo foki mai, ʻalu ki lalo pea nofo, ʻae kakai ʻo Titani; koeʻuhi te u ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tuʻutāmaki ʻo ʻIsoa, ko e ʻaho te u ʻaʻahi ai kiate ia.

9 If grape-gatherers had come to thee, would they not have left a gleaning? If thieves by night, they would destroy only till they had enough.

Kapau ʻe haʻu kiate koe ʻae kau tānaki kālepi, ʻe ʻikai te nau fakatoe ha kālepi? Kapau ko e kau kaihaʻa ʻi he poʻuli, te nau kaihaʻa ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau manako.

10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, that he is unable to hide himself: his seed is wasted, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.

Ka kuo u fakatelefuaʻi ʻa ʻIsoa, kuo u fakaʻilo hono ngaahi toitoiʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa fai ke fakafufū ia: kuo maumauʻi hono hoko, pea mo hono kāinga, pea mo hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ia.

11 Leave thine orphans, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.

Tuku hoʻo fānau tamai mate, te u fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu, pea tuku ke falala kiate au ho kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti.

12 For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup shall assuredly drink; and thou indeed, shouldest thou be altogether unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink.

He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; Vakai, ko kinautolu naʻe totonu ke ʻoua naʻa nau inu; kuo nau inu moʻoni ki he ipu; pea te ke hao ʻaupito koe ʻi he tautea? ʻE ʻikai te ke hao, ka ko e moʻoni te ke inu ki ai.

13 For I have sworn by myself, saith Jehovah, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.

He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, kuo u fuakava ʻiate au, ke fakahoko ʻa Posila ko e meʻa fakaofo, mo e ongokovi, mo e liʻaki, pea mo e malaʻia; pea ʻe lala maʻuaipē hono ngaahi kolo.”

14 I have heard a rumour from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations: — Gather yourselves together, and come against her and rise up for the battle.

Kuo u fanongo ki he ongoongo meia Sihova, kuo fekau ʻae kau talafekau ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻo pehē, “Mou fakataha ʻakimoutolu, pea haʻu kiate ia, pea mou tuʻu hake ki he tau.

15 For behold, I have made thee small among the nations, despised among men.

Vakai, he te u ngaohi koe ke siʻi ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga; pea ko e fehiʻanekina ʻi he kakai.

16 Thy terribleness, the pride of thy heart, hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill. Though thou shouldest make thy nest high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah.

Kuo kākaaʻi koe ʻe hoʻo mālohi, mo e fielahi ʻo ho loto, ʻa koe ʻoku ke nofo ʻi he ngaahi ʻanaʻi maka, pea maʻu ʻae māʻolunga ʻoe moʻunga: kapau te ke ngaohi ho pununga ke māʻolunga ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale, te u fakahifo koe mei ai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

17 And Edom shall be an astonishment: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss, because of all the plagues thereof.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻa ʻItomi ko e meʻa liʻaki: pea ʻe fakatumutumu ʻae tangata taki taha ʻoku fononga ofi ki ai! Pea ʻe fakaʻiseʻisa koeʻuhi ko hono ngaahi tautea kotoa pē.

18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and their neighbour cities, saith Jehovah, no one shall dwell there, neither shall a son of man sojourn therein.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Hangē ko e fakaʻauha ʻo Sotoma mo Komola, mo e ngaahi kolo ofi ki ai, ʻe ʻikai nofo ai ha tangata, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻāunofo ki ai ʻae foha ʻoe tangata.

19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will make them suddenly run away from it; and who is a chosen [man] whom I shall appoint over her? For who is like me? and who will assign me a time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

“Vakai, te ne ʻalu hake ʻo hangē ko e laione mei he fonu mahakehake ʻo Soatani ki he nofoʻanga ʻoe mālohi: ko e moʻoni te u pule kiate ia ke ne lele vave mei ai: pea ko hai ʻae tangata kuo fili ke u tuʻutuʻuni ke pule ia? He ko hai ʻoku tatau mo au? Pe ko hai te ne akonakiʻi au? Pe ko hai ʻae tauhi ko ia te ne faʻa tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao?

20 Therefore hear the counsel of Jehovah, which he hath taken against Edom, and his purposes which he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: The little ones of the flock shall certainly draw them away; he shall certainly make their habitation desolate for them.

Ko ia fanongo ki he fakakaukau ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ne folofola ki ʻItomi; pea mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ki he kakai ʻo Timani: ko e moʻoni ʻe taki kituʻa ʻakinautolu ʻe he tokosiʻi pe: ko e moʻoni te ne ngaohi honau nofoʻanga ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻiate kinautolu.

21 The earth quaketh at the sound of their fall; there is a cry, the sound whereof is heard in the Red sea.

‌ʻOku ngalulu ʻae kelekele ʻi he longoaʻa ʻo ʻenau tō, naʻe ongo atu ʻae longoaʻa ʻo ia ʻi he tangi ʻi he Tahi Kulokula.

22 Behold, he shall come up, and fly as an eagle, and spread forth his wings against Bozrah; and at that day the heart of the mighty men of Edom shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

Vakai, te ne ʻalu hake pea puna ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale, pea mafola hono kapakau ki Posila: pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe hoko ʻae loto ʻoe tangata mālohi ʻo ʻItomi ʻo hangē ko e loto ʻoe fefine ʻi heʻene langā.”

23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is put to shame, and Arpad; for they have heard evil tidings, they are melted away: there is distress on the sea; it cannot be quiet.

Ko e meʻa ʻoku kau ki Tamasikusi. “Kuo puputuʻu ʻa Hamati pea mo ʻAapati: he kuo nau fanongo ki he ngaahi ongoongo kovi: ʻoku vaivai honau loto; kuo fakavai ʻakinautolu ʻi he mamahi ke hangē ko e tahi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito malaʻia.

24 Damascus is grown feeble: she turneth herself to flee, and terror hath seized on her; trouble and sorrows have taken hold of her as of a woman in travail.

Kuo vaivai ʻa Tamasikusi, kuo tafoki mai ia ke hola, pea kuo moʻua ia ʻi he manavahē: pea kuo maʻu ia ʻe he feinga mo e mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e fefine ʻoku langā.

25 How is not the town of praise forsaken, the city of my joy!

Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai tuku ai ʻae kolo ongoongolelei, ko e kolo naʻaku fiefia ai?

26 Therefore shall her young men fall in her streets, and all the men of war be cut off in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts.

Ko ia ʻe tō hono kau talavou ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea ʻe tuʻusi ʻae kau tangata tau kotoa pē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad.

“Pea te u tutu ʻae afi ʻi he ʻā ʻo Tamasikusi, pea ʻe ʻauha ai ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Penihatati.”

28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote. Thus saith Jehovah: Arise, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.

Ko e meʻa ʻoku kau ki Keta, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo Hasoa, ʻaia ʻe teʻia ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Mou tuʻu, ʻo ʻalu hake ki Keta, pea maumauʻi ʻae kau tangata mei hahake.

29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take; their curtains and all their vessels, and their camels, shall they carry away for themselves; and they shall cry unto them, Terror on every side!

Te nau ʻave honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki pea mo ʻenau fanga manu: pea te nau ʻave maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi puipui, mo ʻenau ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, pea mo ʻenau fanga kāmeli; pea te nau tangi kiate kinautolu ʻo pehē, ʻoku ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻae manavahē.

30 Flee, wander very far, dwell deep down, ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith Jehovah; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.

“ʻAe kakai ʻo Hasoa, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Mou hola ʻo ʻalu mamaʻo, pea nofo māʻulalo; koeʻuhi ko Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, kuo ne fakakaukau ha meʻa kiate kimoutolu, pea tuʻutuʻuni ha meʻa ke fai kiate kimoutolu.

31 Arise, get you up against the nation at ease, that dwelleth securely, saith Jehovah, which hath neither gates nor bars: they dwell alone.

‌ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ‘Mou tuʻu, pea ʻalu hake ki he kakai ʻoku fakafiemālie, ʻaia ʻoku nofo fakafiemālie, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ngaahi matapā pe ha ngaahi fakamaʻu, ʻoku nofo taha pe ʻakinautolu.

32 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil; and I will scatter to every wind them that have the corners [of their beard] cut off, and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith Jehovah.

Pea ʻe vetea ʻa ʻenau fanga kāmeli, pea ʻave mo ʻenau fanga manu lahi: pea te u fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi potu kotoa pē, ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi muileleu mamaʻo; pea te u ʻomi ʻenau mamahi mei he ngaahi potu kotoa pē, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling-place of jackals, a desolation for ever. No one shall dwell there, neither shall a son of man sojourn therein.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻa Hasoa ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe fanga talākoni, pea mo e potu liʻaki ʻo taʻengata: ʻe ʻikai nofomaʻu ʻi ai ha tangata, pea ʻe ʻikai nofo ai ha foha ʻoe tangata.”

34 The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

Ko e folofola ʻa Sihova naʻe hoko kia Selemaia ko e palōfita ki ʻIlami ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe pule ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē,

35 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ‘Vakai, te u fesiʻi ʻae kaufana ʻo ʻIlami, ko honau mālohiʻanga.

36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds, from the four ends of the heavens, and I will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

Pea te u ʻomi ki ʻIlami ʻae matangi ʻe fā, mei he ngataʻanga ʻe fā ʻoe langi, pea ʻe fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ʻi he feituʻu matangi ko ia kotoa pē; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha kakai, ʻe taʻehoko ki ai ʻae kau liʻekina ʻo ʻIlami.

37 And I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life; and I will bring evil upon them, my fierce anger, saith Jehovah; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them.

Pea te u fakailifiaʻi ʻa ʻIlami ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ngaahi fili, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻonautolu ʻoku kumi ki heʻenau moʻui: pea te u ʻomi kiate kinautolu ʻae kovi, ʻio, ko e kakaha ʻo ʻeku tuputāmaki,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; ‘pea te u ʻomi kiate kinautolu ʻae heletā, kaeʻoua ke u fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu:

38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence king and princes, saith Jehovah.

Pea te u fokotuʻu hoku nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻi ʻIlami, pea fakaʻauha mei ai ʻae tuʻi pea mo e houʻeiki,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

39 But it shall come to pass at the end of the days, I will turn the captivity of Elam, saith Jehovah.

‘Ka ʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamui, ʻa ʻeku toe ʻomi ʻae fakapōpula ʻo ʻIlami,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
