< Ezekiel 34 >
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
2 “Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH to the shepherds: Woe [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! Do the shepherds not feed the flock?
“Foha ʻoe tangata, kikite ki he kau tauhi ʻo ʻIsileli, kikite, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ki he ngaahi tauhi; Malaʻia ki he kau tauhi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku nau fafanga pe ʻakinautolu! ʻIkai ʻoku totonu ke fafanga ʻe he tauhi ʻa ʻene fanga sipi?
3 You eat the fat, and you put on the wool, You slaughter the fed one, You do not feed the flock.
ʻOku kai ʻekimoutolu ʻae ngako, pea ʻoku mou kofuʻaki ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi, ʻoku mou tāmateʻi ia ʻaia ʻoku sino, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou fafanga ʻae fanga sipi.
4 You have not strengthened the weak, And you have not healed the sick one, And you have not bound up the broken, And have not brought back the driven away, And you have not sought the lost, And you have ruled them with might and with rigor.
Naʻe ʻikai te mou fakamālohi ʻae vaivai, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou faitoʻo ki he mahaki, pe te mou nonoʻo ʻaia naʻe mafesi, pe te mou toe kumi mai ʻaia naʻe fakahēʻi, pe te mou kumi ʻaia naʻe mole, ka kuo mou pule mālohi mo fai fakamamahi ki ai.
5 And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Indeed, they are scattered.
Pea naʻe fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻikai ha tauhi: pea naʻa nau hoko ko e meʻakai ki he fanga manu fekai kotoa pē ʻoe vao, ʻi heʻenau movetevete.
6 My flock goes astray on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And My flock has been scattered on [the] whole face of the earth, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.
Naʻe ʻalu hēhē pe ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga kotoa pē: ʻio, naʻe fakahēʻi ʻeku fanga sipi ki he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai hakule pe kumi ki ai ha taha.
7 Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of YHWH:
“Ko ia, ʻE kau tauhi, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
8 [As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Indeed, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds feed themselves, And they have not fed My flock.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko au ʻoku ou moʻui, pea ko e moʻoni, koeʻuhi kuo hoko ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi ko e fakamālohia, pea kuo hoko ia ko e meʻakai ki he fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ha tauhi, pea naʻe ʻikai kumi ʻe heʻeku kau tauhi ki heʻeku fanga sipi, pea naʻe kai pe ʻe heʻeku kau tauhi, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fafanga ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi;
9 Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of YHWH!
Ko ia, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau tauhi, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova;
10 Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And the shepherds feed themselves no more, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not for food to them.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu au ki he kau tauhi pea te u ʻeke ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi mei honau nima pea te u fekau ke tuku ʻenau fafanga ʻae fanga sipi: pea ʻe ʻikai toe kai ʻe he kau tauhi ʻiate kinautolu; he te u fakamoʻui ʻeku fanga sipi mei honau ngutu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau kei meʻakai ʻaki ʻakinautolu.
11 For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I—even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.
“He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai ko au, ʻio, ko au, te u hakule ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, mo kumi ki ai.
12 As a shepherd’s searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, To where they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.
ʻO hangē ko e kumi ʻe he tauhi ʻa ʻene fanga sipi, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku ne ʻalu atu ai ki he fanga sipi kuo movetevete; ʻe pehē ʻa ʻeku kumi mai ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, mo ʻeku fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he potu kotoa pē kuo nau hē ki ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻalotāmaki mo fakapoʻupoʻuli.
13 And I have brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them to their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.
Pea te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he kakai, mo tānaki ʻakinautolu mei he ngaahi fonua, pea ʻe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau fonua ʻonautolu, pea ʻe fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he veʻe vaitafe, pea mo e ngaahi potu kakai ʻoe fonua.
14 I feed them with good pasture, And their habitation is on mountains of the high place of Israel, There they lie down in a good habitation, And they enjoy fat pastures on mountains of Israel.
Te u fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu lau maʻuiʻui, pea ʻe ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻa honau lotoʻā: te nau tokoto ai ʻi he lotoʻā lelei, pea te nau kai ʻi he potu lau maʻuiʻui ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli.
15 I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
Te u fafanga ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, pea te u fakatokoto ʻakinautolu ki lalo, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
16 I seek the lost, and bring back the driven away, And I bind up the broken, and I strengthen the sick, And I destroy the fat and the strong, I feed it with judgment.
Te u kumi kiate ia naʻe mole, pea te u toe ʻomi ʻaia naʻe fakahēʻi atu, te u nonoʻo ʻaia naʻe mafesi, pea te u fakamālohi ʻaia naʻe vaivai: pea te u tāmateʻi ʻaia ʻoku sino mo mālohi; te u fafanga ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae tautea.
17 And you, My flock, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and male goats.
Pea koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai te u fili vakavakai ki he manu mo e manu, ki he fanga sipitangata, mo e fanga kosi tangata.
18 Is it a little thing for you—[that] you enjoy the good pasture, And tread down the remnant of your pasture with your feet, And drink a depth of waters, And trample the remainder with your feet,
Ko e meʻa siʻi koā ia kiate kimoutolu ke mou kai ke ʻosi ʻae potu lau maʻuiʻui, pea mou toe malaki hifo ai ʻi homou lalo vaʻe ʻa hono toe ʻoe potu ʻoku fafanga ai kimoutolu? Pea kuo mou inu mei he ngaahi vai loloto, ka ko hono toe kuo mou fakaʻuliʻi ʻaki homou vaʻe?
19 And My flock consumes the trodden thing of your feet, And drinks the trampled thing of your feet?
Pea ko ʻeku fanga sipi, ʻoku kai ʻekinautolu mei he meʻa kuo mou malaki ʻaki homou vaʻe; pea ʻoku nau inu mei he meʻa kuo fakaʻuliʻi ʻaki homou vaʻe.
20 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH to them: Behold, I—even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep.
“Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua kiate kinautolu; Vakai, ko au, ʻio, ko au, te u fili vakavakai ki he manu ʻoku sino mo e manu ʻoku tutue.
21 Because you thrust away with side and with shoulder, And push all the diseased with your horns, Until you have scattered them to the out-place,
Koeʻuhi kuo mou fetuotuai pea kuo mou feteketekeʻi ʻae kau vaivai ʻaki homou nifo pea ko ia kuo nau hē ai ke mamaʻo;
22 Therefore I have given safety to My flock, And they are not for prey anymore, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.
Ko ia ia te u fakamoʻui ai ʻeku fanga sipi, pea ʻe ʻikai toe tulia ʻakinautolu; pea te u fili vakavakai ki he manu mo e manu.
23 And have raised up one shepherd over them, And he has fed them—My servant David, He feeds them, and he is their shepherd,
Pea te u fokotuʻu ha tauhi pe taha kiate kinautolu, pea te ne fafanga kinautolu, ʻio, ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita: ko ia ia te ne fafanga ʻakinautolu, pea ko ia ia te ne tauhi kiate kinautolu.
24 And I, YHWH, I am their God, And My servant David [is] prince in their midst, I, YHWH, have spoken.
Pea ko au Sihova, te u hoko ko honau ʻOtua; pea ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko e ʻeiki ʻiate kinautolu; ko au Sihova, kuo u lea ki ai.
25 And I have made a covenant of peace with them, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt confidently in a wilderness, And they have slept in forests.
Pea te nau fai mo au ʻae fuakava ke melino, pea te u fakaʻosi ʻae fanga manu fekai mei he fonua; pea te nau nofo lelei pe ʻi he toafa, pea nau mohe ʻi he ngaahi vao.
26 And I have given them, and the outskirts of My hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, They are showers of blessing.
Pea te u ngaohi ʻakinautolu pea mo e ngaahi potu ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻi hoku moʻunga, ko e monūʻiaʻanga; pea te u fakatō hifo ʻae ʻuha ʻi hono ʻaho totonu; ʻe ai ʻae ʻuha lolo ʻoe tāpuaki.
27 And the tree of the field has given its fruit, And the land gives her increase, And they have been confident on their land, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them.
Pea ʻe tupu mei he ʻakau ʻoe ngoue ʻa hono fua, pea ʻe tuku mai ʻe he kelekele ʻa hono tupu, pea te nau malu pe ʻi honau fonua, mo nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka motuhi ʻae nonoʻo ʻo honau haʻamonga, mo fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻonautolu naʻe fakamālohia ʻakinautolu.
28 And they are no longer a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth does not devour them, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.
Pea ʻe ʻikai toe tulia ʻakinautolu ʻe he hiteni, pea ʻe ʻikai toe keina ʻakinautolu ʻe he fanga manu ʻoe fonua; ka ʻe malu pe ʻenau nofo, pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa fakamanaʻi ʻakinautolu.
29 And I have raised a plantation of renown for them, And they are no longer consumed by hunger in the land, And they no longer bear the shame of the nations.
Pea te u fakatupu maʻanautolu ʻae ʻakau ke ongoongolelei, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe mate fiekaia ʻi he fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe fua ʻae mā ʻoe hiteni ʻo taʻengata.
30 And they have known that I, YHWH, their God, [am] with them, And they—the house of Israel—My people, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
ʻE pehē ʻa ʻenau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ʻoku ou ʻiate kinautolu; pea ko kinautolu, ʻio, ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
31 And you, My flock, the flock of My pasture, You [are] men [and] I [am] your God, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
“Pea ko kimoutolu ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, ʻae fanga sipi ʻoku ou tauhi, ko e kau tangata ʻakimoutolu, pea ko homou ʻOtua au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
