Jeremiah 30
1 This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
Ko e folofola naʻe hoko meia Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
2 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Write down in a book everything I've told you.
ʻOku folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke tohi ʻi he tohi ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē kuo u lea ʻaki kiate koe.
3 Look, the time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will bring back my people Israel and Judah from captivity, declares the Lord. I will bring them back to the country I gave to their forefathers, and they will own it again.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻaia te u toe ʻomi ai ʻae kau pōpula ʻi hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli mo Siuta, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova: pea te u pule kiate kinautolu ke nau foki ki honau fonua, ʻaia naʻaku foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea te nau maʻu ia.”
4 This what the Lord said about Israel and Judah.
Pea ko e ngaahi lea eni naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsileli mo Siuta.
5 This is what the Lord says: Hear the cries of panic, cries of fear, not peace.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Kuo mau fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe tetetete, mo e manavahē, kae ʻikai ko e fiemālie.
6 Think about it! Can men give birth? No. So why do I see every man holding his stomach with his hands like a woman in labor. Why is every face white as a sheet?
Mou fehuʻi eni, pea vakai pe ʻoku ai ha tangata ʻoku langā ke fāʻele? Ko e hā ʻoku ou mamata ai ki he tangata taki taha ʻoku ʻai hono nima ki hono kongaloto, ʻo hangē ko e fefine ʻoku langā, pea ʻoku tetea ʻae mata kotoa pē?
7 What a terrible day it will be—a day like never before! This is the time of trouble for Jacob's descendants, but they will be rescued from it.
ʻOiauē! He ʻoku lahi ʻae ʻaho ko ia, he ʻoku ʻikai hano tatau: ʻio, ko e ʻaho mamahi ʻo Sēkope; ka ʻe fakamoʻui ia mei ai.”
8 On that day, declares the Lord Almighty, I will break the yoke from their necks and tear off their chains. Foreigners won't make them slaves anymore.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻE hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u maumauʻi ʻae haʻamonga mei ho kia, pea te u motuhi ho ngaahi haʻi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne toe tauhi ki he kau muli:
9 They will serve the Lord their God, and their king, David's descendant whom I will give them.
Ka te nau tauhi kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, mo Tevita ko honau tuʻi, ʻaia te u fokotuʻu kiate kinautolu.”
10 As far as you're concerned, my servant Jacob, don't be afraid, declares the Lord, Israel, don't be discouraged. I promise to save you from your distant places of exile, your descendants from the countries where they're being held captive. The descendants of Jacob will go home to a quiet and comfortable life, free from any threats.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, ʻE Sēkope ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki; pea ʻoua naʻa ke puputuʻu, ʻE ʻIsileli: koeʻuhi vakai, te u fakamoʻui koe mei he mamaʻo, pea mo ho hako mei he fonua ʻo ʻenau pōpula; pea ʻe tafoki ʻa Sēkope, pea ʻe mālōlō ia, mo fiemālie, pea ʻe ʻikai fakailifiaʻi ia ʻe ha tokotaha.
11 I am with you and I will save you, declares the Lord. Even though I'm going to completely destroy all the nations where I scattered you, I won't completely destroy you. However, I will discipline you as you deserve, and you can be sure I won't leave you unpunished.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ou ʻiate koe ke fakamoʻui koe: kapau te u fakaʻosi ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi kakai kuo u fakamovete koe ki ai, ka ʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻosi ʻaupito koe: ka te u tautea fakasiʻisiʻi koe, ka e ʻikai te ke hao ʻaupito.
12 This is what the Lord says: You have a wound that cannot be healed, you have a terrible injury.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku taʻefaʻafakamoʻui ho fakavolu, pea ʻoku kovi lahi ho lavea.
13 There's no one to take care of your case, no cure for your sores, no healing for you.
ʻOku ʻikai ha taha ke langomakiʻi koe, Ke ne nonoʻo ho lavea: ʻoku ʻikai ha vai fakamoʻui kiate koe.
14 All your lovers have forgotten about you; they don't bother looking for you anymore, because I have beaten you as if I were your enemy, the discipline of a cruel person, because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.
Kuo fakangalongaloʻi koe ʻekinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻofa; ʻoku ʻikai te nau kumi koe; he kuo u tui ʻaki koe ʻae tā ʻae fili, ʻaki ʻae tautea lahi ʻaupito, koeʻuhi ko hono lahi ʻo hoʻo hia; pea koeʻuhi kuo tupu hoʻo ngaahi angahala.
15 Why are you crying over your wound? You pain can't be cured. I did this to you because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.
Ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi ai koeʻuhi ko hoʻo mamahi? ʻE ʻikai faʻa fakamoʻui ho lavea, koeʻuhi ko hono lahi ʻo hoʻo hia: kuo u fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate koe, koeʻuhi kuo tupu ʻo lahi hoʻo ngaahi angahala.
16 Even so, everyone who destroys you will be destroyed. All your enemies, every last one, will be sent into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who robbed you will be robbed.
Ko ia ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fakaʻauha koe; pea ʻe ʻave fakapōpula taki taha kotoa pē ʻa ho ngaahi fili; pea ʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nau maumauʻi koe, pea ʻe tukuange ki he fakamālohi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fakamālohi kiate koe.
17 But I will give you back your health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord, because people say you've been abandoned and that no one cares about you, Zion.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u fakamoʻui koe, pea te u fakamoʻui mo ho ngaahi lavea; koeʻuhi naʻa nau ui koe, ‘Ko e liʻaki,’ ʻo pehē,’ Ko Saione eni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai kumi ki ai ʻe ha taha.’”
18 This is what the Lord says: I will bring Jacob's descendants back to their homes and have mercy on their families. The city will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the palace once again stand where it should.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Vakai, te u toe liliu ʻae pōpula ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Sēkope, pea te u ʻofa ki hono ngaahi nofoʻanga; pea ʻe langa ʻae kolo ʻi hono moʻunga ʻoʻona, pea tuʻumaʻu pe ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻi hono anga muʻa.
19 People will be singing songs of thanks, the sounds of celebration. I will increase their number—they will not become less. I will honor them—they will not be treated as insignificant.
Pea ʻe ʻalu atu mei ai ʻae fakafetaʻi pea mo e leʻo ʻokinautolu ʻoku fakafiefia: pea te u fakatokolahi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau tokosiʻi; pea te u fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau māʻulalo.
20 Their children will be looked after like they used to be. I will make their nation strong again, and punish anyone who attacks them.
Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻenau fānau ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa, pea ʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ʻenau fakataha ʻi hoku ʻao, pea te u tautea ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fakamālohiʻi ʻakinautolu.
21 Their leader will be from their own country, their ruler will be chosen from among them. I will invite him to come close to me, and he will do so, for would anyone dare to approach me without being asked? declares the Lord.
Pea ʻe tupu honau houʻeiki ʻi honau faʻahinga, pea ʻe tupu ʻiate kinautolu ʻa honau pule; pea te u pule ke ne ʻunuʻunu mai, pea te ne haʻu kiate au: he ko hai eni naʻa ne ueʻi hono loto ke haʻu kiate au? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova.
22 You will be my people, and I will be your God.
Pea te mou hoko ko hoku kakai, pea te u hoko ko homou ʻOtua.
23 Watch out! The Lord has sent out a furious storm, a tornado swirling around the heads of the wicked.
Vakai, ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻae ʻahiohio ʻa Sihova ʻo mālohi lahi ʻaupito, ko e ʻahiohio maʻuaipē: ʻe tō ia ko e fakamamahi ki he ʻulu ʻoe angahala.”
24 The Lord's anger won't fade until he's finished doing everything he wants. Only then will you really understand.
ʻE ʻikai fakatafoki ʻae houhau kakaha ʻo Sihova, kaeʻoua ke ne fai ia, pea ke ʻoua ke ne fai ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa hono loto: te mou ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui.
