< Jezekiel 7 >

1 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Also, you, son of man, say,
Naʻe hoko mai foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
2 Thus says the Lord; An end is come to the land of Israel, the end is come on the four corners of the land.
“Ko koe foki ko e foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; Ko e ngataʻanga, ʻio, ko e ngataʻanga kuo hoko mai ki he feituʻu ʻe fā ʻoe fonua.
3 The end is come on you,
Ko eni, kuo hoko ʻae ngataʻanga kiate koe, pea te u tuku atu ʻa hoku houhau kiate kimoutolu, pea te u fakamaauʻi koe ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ngaahi faianga, pea te u totongi kiate koe ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia.
4 the inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day has drawn near, not with tumult, nor with pangs.
Pea ʻe ʻikai mamae ʻa hoku fofonga, pe te u manavaʻofa: ka te u totongi hoʻo ngaahi hala kiate koe, pea ʻe ʻi loto ʻiate koe hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia: pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.
5 Now I will pour out my anger upon you near at hand, and I will accomplish my wrath on you: and I will judge you for your ways, and recompense upon you all your abominations.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, Vakai kuo hoko ʻae kovi ki he kovi.
6 Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense your ways upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the Lord that strike [you].
Kuo hoko ha ngataʻanga, ʻio, kuo hoko ʻae ngataʻanga; ʻoku ne lamasi ʻaki koe, pea vakai kuo hoko ia.
7 Now the end [is come] to you, and I will send [judgment] upon you: and I will take vengeance on your ways, and will recompense all your abominations upon you.
Kuo hoko ʻae pongipongi kiate koe, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua: kuo hoko hono kuonga, kuo ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻoe mamahi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e lea talia mai pe ia mei he ngaahi moʻunga.
8 Mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy: for I will recompense your way upon you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
Ko eni, ʻoku toetoe siʻi pea te u lilingi atu hoku houhau kiate koe, pea fai ke ʻosi ʻeku houhau kiate koe: pea te u fakamaauʻi koe ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo ngaahi hala, pea te u totongi koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia.
9 For thus says the Lord; Behold, the end is come.
Pea ʻe ʻikai mamae ʻa hoku mata, pe te u manavaʻofa; te u totongi koe ʻo fakatatau ki ho ngaahi ʻaluʻanga, mo hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia ʻi loto ʻiate koe; pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ʻoku tā.”
10 Behold, the day of the Lord! although the rod has blossomed,
Vakai ki he ʻaho, vakai kuo hoko ia: kuo hokosia ʻae pongipongi; kuo moto ʻae vaʻa, kuo litolito ʻae fielahi.
11 pride has sprung up, and will break the staff of the wicked one, and [that] not with tumult, nor with haste.
Kuo tupu ʻae fakamālohi ko e vaʻa ʻoe fai kovi: ʻe ʻikai ha toe ʻiate kinautolu pe ko ʻenau tokolahi, pe ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻanautolu: pea ʻe ʻikai tēngihia ʻakinautolu.
12 The time is come, behold the day: let not the buyer rejoice, and let not the seller mourn.
Kuo hoko hono kuonga, kuo ofi ʻae ʻaho: ʻoua naʻa fiefia ʻaia ʻoku fakatau mai, pe mamahi ʻaia ʻoku fakatau atu: he kuo nofo ʻae houhau ki hono kakai kotoa pē.
13 For the buyer shall never again return to the seller, neither shall a man cleave with the eye [of hope] to his life.
Neongo ʻae moʻui ʻaʻana ʻoku fakatau ʻe ʻikai foki mai ia ki he meʻa kuo fakatau: he ko e kikite ʻoku kau ki hono kakai kotoa pē ʻe ʻikai foki mai; pea ʻe ʻikai toe taulanga ha taha ʻi he kovi kuo ne fai ʻi heʻene moʻui.
14 Sound you the trumpet, and pass sentence on all together.
Kuo nau ifi ʻae meʻalea, ʻio, ko e fai ke teuteuʻi: ka ʻoku ʻikai ha niʻihi ʻe ʻalu ki he tau: he ʻoku nofo hoku houhau ki hono kakai.
15 [There shall be] war with the sword without, and famine and pestilence within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword; and famine and pestilence shall destroy them that are in the city.
‌ʻOku ʻi tuaʻā ʻae heletā, pea ʻoku ʻi lotoʻā ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha mo e honge ko ia ʻoku ʻi he ngoue ʻe mate ʻi he heletā pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi loto kolo, ʻe keina ia ʻe he mahaki fakaʻauha pea mo e honge.
16 But they that escape of them shall be delivered, and shall be upon the mountains: and I will kill all [the rest], every one for his iniquities.
Ka ko kinautolu ʻe hao ʻiate kinautolu ʻe hao pe, pea te nau ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo hangē ko e lupe ʻoku tangi, ʻe taki taha tangi ʻi heʻene kovi.
17 All hands shall be completely weakened, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture.
‌ʻE vaivai ʻae nima kotoa pē, pea ʻe tatau mo e vai ʻae tui kotoa pē.
18 And they shall gird themselves with sackcloth, and amazement shall cover them; and shame shall be upon them, [even] upon every face, and baldness upon every head.
Pea te nau ʻai foki ʻae tauangaʻa, pea ʻe taʻomia ʻakinautolu ʻi he ilifia, pea ʻe mā honau mata kotoa pē, pea ʻe tekefua honau ʻulu kotoa pē.
19 Their silver shall be cast forth in the streets, and their gold shall be despised: their souls shall not be satisfied, and their bellies shall not be filled: for it was the punishment of their iniquities.
Te nau laku ki he hala ʻa ʻenau siliva, pea ʻe hoko ʻenau koula ke tatau mo e meʻa ʻuli: ʻe ʻikai faʻa fakahaofi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻenau siliva mo ʻenau koula ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe houhau ʻo Sihova: ʻe ʻikai fiemālie ai honau laumālie, pe mākona ai honau fatu: he ko e tūkiaʻanga ia ʻo ʻenau hia.
20 [As for] their choice ornaments, they employed them for pride, and they made of them images of their abominations: therefore have I made them uncleanness to them.
Ko e matamatalelei ʻo hono teunga, naʻe ʻai ia mo e nāunau lahi: ka naʻa nau ngaohi mei ai ʻenau ngaahi fakatātā fakalielia mo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa kovi: ko ia kuo u tuku ia ke mamaʻo ʻiate kinautolu.
21 And I will deliver them into the hands of strangers to make them a prey, and to the pests of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane them.
“Pea te u tuku ia ki he nima ʻoe kakai muli ke maʻu fakakaihaʻa, pea ki he angakovi ʻo māmani ko e meʻa vete; pea te nau fakalieliaʻi ia.
22 And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall defile my charge, and shall go in to them unguardedly, and profane them.
Pea te u tafoki hoku fofonga ʻiate kinautolu, pea te nau fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku potu tapu, koeʻuhi ʻe hū ki ai ʻae kau kaihaʻa ʻo fakakoviʻi ia.
23 And they shall work uncleanness: because the land is full of strange nations, and the city is full of iniquity.
“Ngaohi ha maea ukamea: he ʻoku fonu ʻae fonua ʻi he toto ʻoe angahala, pea pito mo e kolo ʻi he fakamālohi.
24 And I will turn back the boasting of their strength; and their holy things shall be defiled.
Ko ia ia te u ʻomi ai ʻae fungani kovi mei he hiteni, pea te nau maʻu honau ngaahi fale: te u ngaohi foki ke ngata ʻae fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe kau mālohi; pea ʻe fakaʻuliʻi ʻa honau ngaahi potu tapu.
25 And [though] propitiation shall come, and [one] shall seek peace, yet there shall be none.
‌ʻOku haʻu ʻae fakaʻauha; pea te nau kumi ʻae melino, kae ʻikai ia.
26 There shall be woe upon woe, and there shall be message upon message; and a vision shall be sought from a prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
‌ʻE hoko ʻae kovi ki he kovi, mo e ongoongo ki he ongoongo; te nau toki kumi ha kikite mei he palōfita; ka ʻe mole ʻae fono mei he taulaʻeiki mo e fakakaukau mei he kau mātuʻa.
27 The prince shall clothe himself with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be made feeble: I will do to them according to their ways, and according to their judgments will I punish them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
‌ʻE tangi mamahi ʻae tuʻi, pea ʻe kofuʻaki ʻe he houʻeiki ʻae malaʻia pea ʻe puputuʻu ʻae nima ʻoe kakai ʻi he fonua: te u fai kiate kinautolu ke tatau mo ʻenau anga, pea te u fakamaau ke totonu kiate kinautolu; pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.”
