Ezekiel 12
1 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying:
Naʻe hoko foki kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
2 'Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house.
“Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoku ke nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fale angatuʻu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mata ke sio ka ʻoku ʻikai mamata; ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae telinga ke fanongo, ka ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi; he ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu.
3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for exile, and remove as though for exile by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight; it may be they will perceive, for they are a rebellious house.
Ko ia, ʻa koe foha ʻoe tangata, teuteu ke fetuku hoʻo ngaahi meʻa, pea fetuku ʻaho pe ʻi honau ʻao; pea te ke fetuku mei hoʻo potu ki ha potu kehe ʻi honau ʻao: heiʻilo te nau fakakaukau, neongo ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu.
4 And thou shalt bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for exile; and thou shalt go forth thyself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.
Te ke toki ʻomi ʻe koe ʻa hoʻo ngaahi meʻa kei ʻaho ʻi honau ʻao, ko e meʻa ke fetuku: pea ka poʻuli te ke ʻalu atu ʻi honau ʻao ʻo hangē koe ʻalu atu ha taha pōpula.
5 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
Keli ʻe koe ke ava ʻae ʻā ʻi honau ʻao, pea ke fetuku atu mei ai.
6 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulder, and carry it forth in the darkness; thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground; for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.'
Te ke fua ia ʻi honau ʻao ki ho uma, pea ke fetuku atu ia ʻi he uulikelekele: te ke pūlou ho mata ke ʻoua naʻa ke sio ki he kelekele: he kuo u tuku koe ko e fakaʻilonga ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli.”
7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for exile, and in the even I digged through the wall with my hand; I carried out in the darkness, and bore it upon my shoulder in their sight.
Pea naʻaku fai ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau mai: naʻaku ʻomi kituʻa ʻeku meʻa kei ʻaho, ʻo hangē ha meʻa ki he pōpula, pea ʻi he efiafi naʻaku keli ʻae ʻā ʻo fakaava ʻaki ʻa hoku nima; pea naʻaku fetuku kituaʻā ʻi heʻene kei ʻataʻatā, pea naʻaku fua meʻa ʻi hoku uma ʻi honau ʻao.
8 And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying:
Pea pongipongi hake naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
9 'Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee: What doest thou?
“Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻikai kuo pehē kiate koe ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻae fale angatuʻu, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku ke fai?’
10 Say thou unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Concerning the prince, even this burden, in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are,
Lea koe kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: ʻOku kau ʻae fua kavenga ni ki he tuʻi ʻi Selūsalema mo e fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu.’
11 say: I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them — they shall go into exile, into captivity.
Ke ke pehē, ‘Ko homou fakaʻilonga au: hangē ko ia kuo u fai, ʻe pehē hono fai kiate kinautolu: ʻe fetukutuku mo ʻave ʻakinautolu ki he fakapōpula.
12 And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder, and go forth in the darkness; they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby; he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
Pea ko ia ʻoku tuʻi ʻiate kinautolu ʻe fua kavenga ia ʻi hono uma ʻi he efiafi poʻuli, pea ʻe ʻalu atu: te nau keli ʻae ʻā ke ava mo fetuku atu ia: ʻe fakapulou ʻe ia hono mata ke ʻoua naʻa sio hono mata ki he kelekele.
13 My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in My snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
Te u ʻaʻau foki ʻeau ʻa hoku kupenga kiate ia, pea ʻe moʻua ia ʻi heʻeku tauhele: pea te u ʻomi ia ki Papilone ki he fonua ʻoe kau Kalitia; ka ʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki ai, neongo ʻe mate ia ʻi ai.
14 And I will disperse toward every wind all that are round about him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them.
Pea te u vilingia ki he feituʻu matangi kotoa pē ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻiate ia ko hono tokoni, mo ʻene ngaahi kongakau kotoa pē pea te u toʻo ʻae heletā kiate kinautolu.
15 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
Pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea fakamovete ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua.
16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'
Ka te u tuku honau kau tangata niʻihi ke hao mei he heletā mo e honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha; koeʻuhi ke nau fakahā ʻenau ngaahi fakalielia ʻi he kau hiteni ʻaia te nau hoko ki ai; pea tenau ʻilo ko Sihova au.
17 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
18 'Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with anxiety;
“Foha ʻoe tangata, kai hoʻo mā ʻi he manavahē, pea inu hoʻo vai ʻi he tetetete pea mo e vakavakai.
19 and say unto the people of the land: Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel. They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with appalment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
Pea ke lea ki he kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema pea mo e fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; te nau kai fakatuhotuha ʻenau mā, pea inu ilifia pe ʻenau vai, koeʻuhi ko e ʻauha ʻae mahu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ko e meʻa ʻi he fakamālohi ʻanautolu ʻoku nofo ai.
20 And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.'
Pea ʻe fakalala ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻoku kakai pea ʻe ʻauha ʻae fonua; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
21 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Pea naʻe hoko kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
22 'Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying: The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
“Foha ʻoe tangata, ko e hā ʻae lea fakatātā ko ia ʻoku mou maʻu ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku pehē, ‘ʻOku fakatolonga ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, pea ʻoku ʻikai siʻi ha meʻa hā mai ʻe fakamoʻoni?’
23 Tell them therefore: Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them: The days are at hand, and the word of every vision.
Ko ia te ke tala kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: te u fakangata ʻae lea fakatātā ko ia, pea ʻe ʻikai toe lea fakatātā ʻaki ia ʻi ʻIsileli; ka ke pehē ʻe koe kiate kinautolu, Kuo ofi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho mo e fakamoʻoni ʻoe meʻa hā mai kotoa pē.
24 For there shall be no more any vain vision nor smooth divination within the house of Israel.
He koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai kei ʻi ai ha meʻa hā mai ko e vaʻinga, pe ha fai kikite ko e lapu, ʻi he fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli.
25 For I am the LORD; I will speak, what word soever it be that I shall speak, and it shall be performed; it shall be no more delayed; for in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.'
He ko Sihova au: Te u lea, pea ko e lea te u lea ʻaki ʻe hoko mo fai; ʻe ʻikai toe fakatuai: he ko e lolotonga ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe fale angatuʻu, te u lea ʻaki ʻae lea, pea fai mo hono fakamoʻoni, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
26 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
Pea naʻe toe hoko kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
27 'Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say: The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of times that are far off.
“Foha ʻoe tangata, vakai ʻoku lea ʻakinautolu ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Ko e meʻa hā mai ʻoku ne mamata ai ko e meʻa ki he ngaahi ʻaho kei tuai, pea ʻoku ne kikite ki he ngaahi kuonga ʻoku kei mamaʻo.
28 Therefore say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: There shall none of My words be delayed any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, saith the Lord GOD.'
Ko ia ke ke lea kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻE ʻikai toe fakatuotuai haʻaku lea ʻe taha, ka ko e lea ʻaia kuo u lea ʻaki ʻe fai, ʻoku pehē ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
