Jeremiah 33

1 And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ko hono liunga ua, ʻi heʻene kei nofo ʻi he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula, ʻo pehē,

2 Thus hath said the Lord who doth this, the Lord that formeth it, to establish it: the Eternal is his name;

“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu ia, ko Sihova ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ia, ke fokotuʻumaʻu ia; ko Sihova hono huafa;

3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and I will tell thee great and unheard of things, which thou knowest not.

‘Ui kiate au, pea te u talia koe, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, mo e ngaahi meʻa fufū, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻiloʻi.’

4 For thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by means of the mounds, and by means of the sword;

He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he ngaahi fale ʻoe kolo ni, pea ki he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻaia kuo lī ki lalo ʻi he ngaahi puke māʻolunga, pea mo e heletā;

5 As they come to fight with the Chaldeans, but only to fill those with the corpses of the men whom I slay in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city:

Naʻa nau haʻu ke tau mo e kau Kalitia, ka ko e meʻa ke fakapito ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻoe kakai, ʻakinautolu kuo u tāmateʻi ʻi heʻeku tuputāmaki mo hoku houhau, mo kinautolu kotoa pē kuo u fakafufū ai hoku fofonga mei he kolo ni koeʻuhi ko ʻenau angahala.

6 Behold, I will bring it healing and cure, and I will cure them, and I will display unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

‘Vakai, te u ʻomi kiate ia ʻae moʻui, pea mo e faitoʻo ʻaonga, pea te u fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu, pea te u fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae fiemālie mo e moʻoni lahi.

7 And I will cause to return the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel, and I will build them up, as at the first.

Pea te u liliu ʻae pōpula ʻo Siuta, mo e pōpula ʻo ʻIsileli, pea te u langa ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa.

8 And I will cleanse them from all their guiltiness, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned toward me, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

Pea te u fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi hia kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau angahala ʻaki kiate au; pea te u fakamolemole ʻenau ngaahi hia kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau angahala aki, mo fai kovi ai kiate au.

9 And it shall be to me for a name of gladness, a praise and an honor with all the nations of the earth, who will hear all the good that I am doing unto them: and they shall dread and tremble because of all the good and because of all the happiness that I prepare unto it.

Pea ʻe ʻiate au ia ko e hingoa ʻoe fiefia, pea ko e ongoongolelei mo e nāunau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻakinautolu ʻe fanongo ki he lelei kotoa pē ʻaia te u fai kiate kinautolu: pea te nau manavahē mo tetetete koeʻuhi ko e lelei kotoa pē pea mo e monūʻia ʻaia te u ʻomi kiate kinautolu.’”

10 Thus hath said the Lord, Yet again shall there be heard in this place, of which ye say, “It is ruined, without man and without beast” [[[even] in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast, ]]

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “ʻE toe ongoʻi ʻi he potu ni, ʻaia ʻoku mou pehē ʻe lala ia pea taʻehatangata pe ha manu, ‘ʻIo, ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea mo e ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema, ʻaia ʻoku lala ʻo taʻehatangata, pea taʻehakakai, pe ha manu,’

11 The voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those that say, “Give thanks unto the Lord of hosts; for the Lord is good; because to eternity endureth his kindness:” of those that bring thanksgiving-offering unto the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord.

‌ʻE ʻi ai ʻae leʻo ʻoe fiefia, pea mo e leʻo ʻoe nekeneka, ko e leʻo ʻoe tangata taʻane, pea mo e leʻo ʻoe taʻahine, pea mo e leʻo ʻokinautolu ʻoku pehē, ‘Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: he ʻoku angalelei ʻa Sihova; ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻene ʻaloʻofa:’ pea mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻomi ʻae feilaulau ʻoe fakafetaʻi ki he fale ʻo Sihova. He te u pule ke liliu mai ʻae pōpula ʻoe fonua, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he kamataʻanga,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

12 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Yet again shall there be in this place, which is ruined, without man and even without beast, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds who cause their flocks to lie down.

ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: “Ko e potu eni ʻaia ʻoku lala, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha tangata pe ha manu, pea ko hono ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, ʻe toe hoko ia ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe kau tauhi sipi pea te nau tauhi ʻi ai ʻae fanga sipi.

13 In the cities of the mountain, in the cities of the lowlands, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks yet pass again under the hands of him that counteth them, saith the Lord.

Pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi potu tokalelei, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻi he feituʻu tonga, pea ʻi he fonua ʻo Penisimani, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻoku ofi ki Selūsalema, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, ʻe toe ʻalu ʻae fanga sipi ʻi he lalo nima ʻo ia ʻoku ne lau ʻakinautolu,” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova.

14 Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will fulfill that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and respecting the house of Judah.

‌ʻOka pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, te u fakahoko ai ʻae meʻa lelei ʻaia naʻaku tala ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e fale ʻo Siuta.

15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause to grow up unto David the sprout of righteousness: and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

‌ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea mo e kuonga ko ia, te u fakatupu kia Tevita ʻae vaʻa ʻoe māʻoniʻoni; pea te ne fai ʻae fakamaau mo e angatonu ʻi he fonua.

16 In those days shall Judah be helped, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety: and this is what she shall be called, The Lord is our righteousness.

‌ʻE fakamoʻui ʻa Siuta ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea ʻe nofo fiemālie ʻa Selūsalema: pea ko e [huafa ]eni ʻe ui ʻaki ia, ‘Ko Sihova ko hotau māʻoniʻoni.’

17 For thus hath said the Lord, There shall never be wanting unto David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

“He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito masiva ʻa Tevita ʻi he tangata ke nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli;

18 And unto the priests the Levites there shall not be wanting a man before me, to offer burnt-offerings, and to burn meat-offerings, and to prepare sacrifices at all times.

Pea ʻe ʻikai masiva ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ko e kau Livai ʻi ha tangata ʻi hoku ʻao ke ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu, pea ke tutu ʻae feilaulau kai, pea ke fai ʻae feilaulau maʻuaipē.”

19 And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,

20 Thus hath said the Lord, If ye can break my covenant with the day, and my covenant with the night, and so, that there be not day and night in their season:

“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; ‘Kapau te mou faʻa maumauʻi ʻeku fuakava ki he ʻaho, pea mo ʻeku fuakava ki he pō, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hoko fakaholoholo ʻae ʻaho mo e pō;

21 Then also shall my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and [that] with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

Pea tā ʻe toki maumauʻi foki ʻeku fuakava mo Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa maʻu ʻe ia ʻae foha ke pule ʻi hono puleʻanga; pea mo e kau Livai ko e kau taulaʻeiki, ʻoku nau tauhi kiate au.

22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, and the sand of the sea not be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

‌ʻO hangē ʻoku ʻikai faʻa lau ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi, pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fuofua ʻae ʻoneʻone ʻi he matātahi: Te u fakatupu pehē ʻae hako ʻo Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, pea mo e kau Livai ʻoku tauhi kiate au.’”

23 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

Pea naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,

24 Hast thou not observed what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath made choice of, even these hath he rejected: and they [thus] have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

“ʻIkai te ke tokanga ki he lea kuo lea ʻaki ʻe he kakai ni, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e faʻahinga ʻe ua ʻaia naʻe fili ʻe Sihova, kuo ne liʻaki ʻakinautolu,’ pea kuo nau manuki ki hoku kakai, ʻo hangē ʻe ʻikai te nau toe hoko ko e puleʻanga ʻi honau ʻao.”

25 Thus hath said the Lord, If my covenant be not with day and night, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth:

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ʻi heʻeku fuakava ʻae ʻaho mo e pō, pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai te u tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ngaahi fono ʻoe langi mo māmani;

26 Then also will I reject the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so as not to take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

Pea tā te u toki liʻaki ʻae hako ʻo Sēkope, pea mo Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, pea ʻe ʻikai te u fili ha niʻihi ʻi hono hako ke pule ki he hako ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope: he te u pule ke liliu ʻenau pōpula, pea te u ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu.”
