Jeremiah 11
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Ko e folofola naʻe hoko kia Selemaia meia Sihova, ʻo pehē,
2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and you have spoken to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
“Mou fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava ni, pea ke lea ki he kau tangata ʻo Siuta, pea mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema;
3 and you have said to them, Thus said YHWH God of Israel: Cursed [is] the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,
Pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘ʻE malaʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai talangofua ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava ni,
4 That I commanded your fathers, In the day of My bringing them out from the land of Egypt, Out of the iron furnace, saying, Listen to My voice, and you have done them, According to all that I command you, And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God,
ʻAia naʻaku fekau ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he tutuʻanga ukamea,’ ʻo pehē, ‘Mou talangofua ki hoku leʻo, pea fai ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ou fekau kiate kimoutolu: ko ia te mou hoko ai ko hoku kakai, pea te u hoko ko homou ʻOtua:
5 In order to establish the oath that I have sworn to your fathers, To give to them a land flowing with milk and honey, as this day.” And I answer and say, “Amen, O YHWH.”
Koeʻuhi ke u fakamoʻoni ʻae fuakava ʻaia naʻaku fuakava ʻaki ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ke foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae fonua ʻoku mahu ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.” Pea ne u toki lea, ʻo pehē, “Ke pehē pe, ʻE Sihova.”
6 And YHWH says to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, And you have done them.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Ke ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa ki he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, mo e ngaahi hala ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo pehē, Mou fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava ni, pea fai ki ai.
7 For I certainly testified against your fathers, In the day of My bringing them up out of the land of Egypt—until this day, Rising early and testifying, saying, Listen to My voice,
He naʻaku ako lahi ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻi he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake pe ʻo ako, ʻo pehē, Mou talangofua ki hoku leʻo.
8 And they have not listened nor inclined their ear, And they each walk in the stubbornness of their evil heart, And I bring on them all the words of this covenant, That I commanded to do, and they did not.”
Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau talangofua, pe fakatokangaʻi honau telinga, ka naʻa nau taki taha muimui ki he holi ʻa hono loto kovi; ko ia te u ʻomi ai kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fuakava ni, ʻaia naʻaku fekau ke nau fai; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fai ki ai.”
9 And YHWH says to me: “A conspiracy is found in the men of Judah, And in the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “ʻOku ʻi he kakai ʻo Siuta mo e kau nofoʻanga ʻo Selūsalema ʻae puleaki.
10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their first fathers, Who refused to hear My words, And they have gone after other gods to serve them, The house of Israel and the house of Judah Have made void My covenant that I made with their fathers.”
Kuo nau foki ki mui ki he hia ʻo ʻenau mātuʻa ʻi muʻa, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga ki heʻeku lea; pea naʻa nau muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe mo tauhi ki ai: kuo maumauʻi ʻeku fuakava ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli mo e fale ʻo Siuta ʻaia ne u fai mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
11 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am bringing calamity on them, That they are not able to go out from, And they have cried to Me, And I do not listen to them.
“Ko ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae kovi kiate kinautolu, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa hao mei ai; pea kapau te nau tangi kiate au, ʻe ʻikai te u fanongo kiate kinautolu.
12 And the cities of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem have gone, And they have cried to the gods, To whom they are making incense, And they give no deliverance at all to them, In the time of their distress.
Pea ʻe toki ʻalu ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo tangi ki honau ngaahi ʻotua ʻaia naʻa nau ʻatu ki ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala: ka e ʻikai siʻi te nau fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻenau mamahi.
13 For the number of your cities have been your gods, O Judah, And [for] the number of the streets of Jerusalem You have placed altars to a shameful thing, Altars to make incense to Ba‘al.
He ʻoku hangē ko hono tokolahi ʻo ho ngaahi kolo, ʻoku pehē hono tokolahi ʻo ho ngaahi ʻotua, ʻE Siuta; pea hangē ko e lau ʻoe ngaahi hala ʻi Selūsalema kuo mou fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ki he meʻa fakamā, ʻio ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ke tutu ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala kia Peali.’
14 And you, you do not pray for this people, Nor do you lift up cry and prayer for them, For I do not listen in the time of their calling to Me for their distress.
“Ko ia ʻoua te ke hūfia ʻae kakai ni; pe hiki hake ha tangi pe hū koeʻuhi ko kinautolu: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u fanongo kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho te nau tangi ai kiate au ʻi heʻenau mamahi.
15 What has My beloved to do in My house, Her doing wickedness with many, And does the holy flesh pass over from you? When you do evil, then you exult.
Ko e hā ʻoku kei nofo ai ʻa hoku ʻofaʻanga ʻi hoku fale, ka kuo fai kovi ia mo e tokolahi? ʻE maʻu meiate koe ʻae fuakava mo e kakano māʻoniʻoni? ʻI hoʻo fai meʻa kovi naʻa ke fiefia ai.
16 An olive, green, beautiful, of good fruit, Has YHWH called your name, At the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire against it, And its thin branches have been broken.
Pea naʻe ui ho hingoa ʻe Sihova, “Ko e ʻolive mata, ʻoku matamatalelei, pea fua lelei:” kuo ne tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi ʻi he longoaʻa lahi, pea kuo vela hono ngaahi vaʻa.
17 And YHWH of Hosts, who is planting you, Has spoken calamity concerning you, For the evil of the house of Israel, and of the house of Judah, That they have done to themselves, To provoke Me to anger, to make incense to Ba‘al.”
He ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻaia naʻa ne tō koe, kuo ne fakahā kiate koe ʻae kovi, koeʻuhi ko e kovi ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e fale ʻo Siuta, ʻaia kuo nau fai ke fakahouhau ʻaki au ʻi heʻenau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae meʻa namu kakala kia Peali.”
18 And, O YHWH, cause me to know, and I know, Then You have showed me their doings.
Pea kuo fakaʻilo ia kiate au ʻe Sihova, pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ia: pea naʻa ke fakahā kiate au ʻenau ngaahi faianga.
19 And I [am] as a trained lamb brought to slaughter, And I have not known That they have devised schemes against me: “We destroy the tree with its food, And cut him off from the land of the living, And his name is not remembered again.”
Ka naʻaku hangē ko e lami pe ha pulu ʻaia ʻoku ʻomi ke tāmateʻi; pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi kuo nau fakakaukau ʻae tauhele kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Ke tau fakaʻauha ʻae ʻakau mo hono fua, pea ke tau tuʻusi ia mei he fonua ʻoe moʻui, ke ʻoua naʻa toe manatuʻi ʻa hono hingoa.”
20 And O YHWH of Hosts, judging righteousness, Trying reins and heart, I see Your vengeance against them, For I have revealed my cause to You.
Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻa koe ʻoku ke fakamaau totonu, mo hakule ʻae ngaahi holi mo e loto, tuku ke u mamata ki ho houhau kiate kinautolu: he kuo u fakahā ʻeku meʻa kiate koe.”
21 Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning the men of Anathoth, who are seeking your life, saying, “Do not prophesy in the Name of YHWH, and you do not die by our hands.”
“Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ki he kau tangata ʻo ʻAnatoti, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi hoʻo moʻui, ʻonau pehē, ‘ʻOua te ke kikite ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, telia naʻa ke mate koe ʻi homau nima:’
22 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am seeing after them, The chosen ones die by sword, Their sons and their daughters die by famine,
Ko ia ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ‘Vakai, te u tautea ʻakinautolu: ʻe mate honau kau talavou ʻi he heletā; pea ʻe mate honau ngaahi foha, mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he honge:
23 And they have no remnant, For I bring calamity to the men of Anathoth, The year of their inspection!”
Pea ʻe ʻikai kei toe ha kakai ʻiate kinautolu: he te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he kakai ʻo ʻAnatoti, ʻio, ko e taʻu ʻoe ʻaʻahi kiate kinautolu.’”
