Ezekiel 35
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
2 “Son of man, face towards Mount Seir and prophesy against it
“Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahanga ho mata ki he moʻunga ko Seia, pea kikite ki ai,
3 Announce that this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning you, Mount Seir. I'm going to attack you and turn you into a wasteland.
Pea ke pehē ki ai, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻE moʻunga ko Seia, Vakai, ko au ʻoku ou tuʻu kiate koe, pea te u mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe, pea te u ngaohi koe ke lala ʻaupito.
4 I will ruin your towns; you will be completely devastated. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
Te u fakalala ho ngaahi kolo, pea te ke ʻauha ai, mo ke ʻilo ai ko Sihova au.
5 Because of your lasting hatred for the Israelites you let them be attacked with swords as they went through terrible disasters when the time of their punishment was coming to an end.
Koeʻuhi kuo tuʻumaʻu pe ʻa hoʻo fehiʻa, pea kuo ke lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he mālohi ʻoe heletā ʻi he ʻaho ʻo honau tuʻutāmaki, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ne fakakakato ai ʻenau hia:
6 So as I live, declares the Lord God, I will let you be violently attacked and chased down. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will come after you.
Ko ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, Ko au ʻoku ou moʻui, pea te u teuteu koe ki he lilingi toto, pea ʻe tuli koe ʻe he toto: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ke fehiʻa ki he toto pea ko e moʻoni ʻe tuli koe ʻe he toto.
7 I will turn Mount Seir into a ruined wasteland. I will wipe out anyone who leaves or who tries to return.
ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku ngaohi ʻae moʻunga ko Seia ke lala ʻaupito, pea te u motuhi mei ai ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku feʻaluʻaki ai.
8 I will fill its mountains with the dead. Those killed by the sword will fall in your hills, valleys, and all your ravines.
Pea te u ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae kakai tāmateʻi ʻa hono ngaahi moʻunga: ʻe tō hifo ʻakinautolu ʻoku tāmate ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻi ho ngaahi tafungofunga, mo e ngaahi teleʻa, pea ʻi ho ngaahi vaitafe.
9 I will ruin you forever. Your towns will not be inhabited again. Then you will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
Te u ngaohi koe ke lala maʻuaipē, pea ʻe ʻikai toe kakai ho ngaahi kolo; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.
10 Because you said, ‘These two nations and their lands belong to us, and we will take them over, even though the Lord was there with them,’
Koeʻuhi kuo ke pehē ʻe koe, Ko e ongo puleʻanga na, mo e ongo fonua na ʻe ʻaʻaku pe ia, pea te mau maʻu ia; ka ko eni naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Sihova:
11 then as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you in the same way that you showed anger and jealousy to them in your hatred of them. They will realize that I'm punishing you because of the way you treated them.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko au ʻoku ou moʻui, pea te u fai moʻoni ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo ʻita, pea tatau mo hoʻo meheka, ʻaia kuo ke fai ʻi hoʻo fehiʻa kiate kinautolu; pea te u fakaʻilo au kiate kinautolu ʻo kau ka fai ʻae fakamaau kiate koe.
12 You will also realize that I, the Lord, heard all the nasty things you said about the mountainous land of Israel when you announced, ‘The mountains have been left empty; they're ours to take!’
Pea te ke ʻilo ko Sihova au, kuo u fanongo ki he ngaahi lea kovi ʻaia kuo ke fai ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Kuo fakalala ia, kuo foaki mai ke tau fakaʻauha ia.
13 You made a lot of boasts attacking me—you had much to say against me. I heard it for myself!
Kuo pehē ʻa hoʻomou polepole kiate au, pea kuo mou fakalahi hoʻomou lea kiate au: kuo u fanongo au ki ai.”
14 This is what the Lord God says: I will destroy you as everyone else in the world celebrates.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: “ʻOka fiefia ʻa māmani kotoa pē, te u ngaohi koe ke lala.
15 Just as you celebrated when Israel was destroyed, I will do the same to you. Mount Seir, you will become a wasteland, and so will the rest of Edom. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
Hangē naʻa ke fiefia koe ki he tofiʻa ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ne lala ia, ʻe pehē pe ʻa ʻeku fai kiate koe: te ke lala koe, ʻe moʻunga ʻo Seia, pea mo ʻItomi kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻaia kotoa pē: pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
