Jeremiah 22

1 Thus said YHWH: “Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and you have spoken this word there, and have said,

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; ʻAlu hifo ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni ki ai,

2 Hear a word of YHWH, O king of Judah, who are sitting on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people, who are coming in at these gates,”

‌ʻo pehē, Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻE tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo Tevita, ʻa koe, mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hoʻo kakai ʻoku hū ki he ngaahi matapā ni:

3 Thus said YHWH: “Do judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, you do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood you do not shed in this place.

‌ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Mou fai ʻae fakamaau mo e angatonu, pea fakamoʻui ʻaia kuo fakamālohia mei he nima ʻoe fakamālohi: pea ʻoua naʻa fai kākā ki he muli, mo e tamai mate, pea mo e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti; ʻoua naʻa fai fakamālohi, pe lilingi ʻae toto taʻehalaia ʻi he potu ni.

4 For if you certainly do this thing, Then kings sitting for David on his throne Have come in by the gates of this house, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his people.

He kapau te mou fai moʻoni ki he meʻa ni, pea ʻe toki hū ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale ni, ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻo Tevita, ʻo heka ki he ngaahi saliote pea mo e fanga hoosi, ko ia, mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hono kakai.

5 And if you do not hear these words, I have sworn by Myself,” A declaration of YHWH, “That this house is for a desolation.”

Ka ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ni, ʻoku ou fuakava ʻiate au, ke hoko ʻae fale ni ko e liʻaki.

6 For thus said YHWH concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You [are] Gilead to Me—head of Lebanon, If not—I make you a wilderness, Cities [that] are not inhabited.

He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Siuta; Ko Kiliati koe kiate au, pea mo e ʻulu ʻo Lepanoni: ka ko e moʻoni te u ngaohi koe ko e toafa, pea ko e ngaahi kolo ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha kakai.

7 And I have separated destroyers for you, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of your cedars, And have cast them on the fire.”

Pea te u fekau kiate koe ʻae kau fakaʻauha, ke ʻalu taki taha mo ʻene mahafutau: pea te nau tā hifo ʻae ngaahi sita lelei ʻiate koe, pea laku ki he afi.

8 And many nations have passed by this city, And they have each said to his neighbor, “Why has YHWH done thus to this great city?”

Pea ʻe ʻalu ʻo ofi ki he kolo ni ʻae kakai tokolahi, pea te nau fepehēʻaki, Ko e hā kuo fai pehē ai ʻa Sihova ki he kolo lahi ni?

9 And they have said, “Because that they have forsaken The covenant of their God YHWH, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve them.”

Pea te nau toki lea, Koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki ʻae fuakava ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea lotu ki he ngaahi ʻOtua kehe, ʻo tauhi ʻakinautolu.”

10 You do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep severely for the traveler, For he does not return again, Nor has he seen the land of his birth.

ʻOua naʻa mou tangi koeʻuhi ko e pekia, pe tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko ia: kae tangi mamahi koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku ʻalu: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne toe haʻu, pe toe mamata ki hono fonua.

11 For thus said YHWH concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of his father Josiah, who has gone forth from this place: “He does not return here again;

He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova kia Salumi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, “ʻAia naʻe pule ko e fetongi ʻo Siosaia ko ʻene tamai, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi he potu ni; ʻE ʻikai te ne toe haʻu ki ai:

12 For he dies in the place to where they have removed him, And he does not see this land again.

Ka te ne mate ʻi he potu kuo nau tataki fakapōpula ia ki ai, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne toe mamata ki he fonua ni.”

13 Woe to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, He lays service on his neighbor for nothing, And he does not give his wage to him.

ʻE malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku langa hono fale ʻi he taʻetotonu, pea mo hono ngaahi potu ki ʻolunga ʻi he fai taʻeangatonu; ʻaia ʻoku pule ki hono kaungāʻapi ke ngāue taʻetotongi, pea ʻikai totongi ia ki heʻene ngāue;

14 Who is saying, I build a large house for myself, And airy upper chambers, And he has cut out its windows for himself, Covered with cedar, and painted with vermillion.

‌ʻAia ʻoku pehē, “Te u langa moʻoku ʻae fale lahi pea mo e ngaahi potu lahi ʻi ʻolunga,” pea ne tutuʻu maʻana ʻae ngaahi tupa; pea ʻoku ʻaofi ia ʻi ʻolunga ʻaki ʻae sita, pea vali ʻaki ʻae enga kulokula.

15 Do you reign, because you are fretting yourself in cedar? Your father—did he not eat and drink? Indeed, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him.

He te ke pule koe, koeʻuhi kuo takatakai ʻaki koe ʻae sita? ʻIkai naʻe kai mo inu ʻa hoʻo tamai, pea fai angatonu mo fakamaau, pea naʻe lelei ai ia?

16 He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well—is it not to know Me?” A declaration of YHWH.

Naʻa ne fakamaau ʻe ia ʻae meʻa ʻae paea mo e masiva; pea naʻe lelei ai ia: ʻikai ko e meʻa ia ʻi heʻene ʻiloʻi au? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova.

17 “But your eyes and your heart are not, Except on your dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.”

Ka kuo tuku pe ho mata mo ho loto ʻoʻou ki hoʻo manumanu, pea ke lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe taʻehalaia, pea ke fai ʻae fakamamahi, mo e fakamālohi;

18 Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They do not lament for him, Oh, my brother! And, Oh, my sister! They do not lament for him, Oh, lord! And, Oh, his splendor!

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sihoiakimi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta; “ʻE ʻikai te nau tangi koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOiauē hoku tokoua! pe, ʻOiauē hoku tuofefine!’ ʻE ʻikai te nau tangi koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOiauē ʻe ʻEiki! Pe ʻOiauē, ʻa hono nāunau!’

19 He is buried [with] the burial of a donkey, Dragged and cast out there to the gates of Jerusalem.

Pea ʻe tanu ia ʻo hangē ko e tanu ʻae asi, ʻe toho ia ʻo lī kituʻa ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻo Selūsalema.”

20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry, And give forth your voice in Bashan, And cry from Abarim, For all loving you have been destroyed.

ʻAlu hake ki Lepanoni, pea tangi pea hiki hake ho leʻo ki Pesani, pea tangi mei he ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua: he kuo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻofa kiate koe.

21 I have spoken to you in your ease, You have said, I do not listen, This [is] your way from your youth, For you have not listened to My voice.

Naʻaku lea kiate koe ʻi hoʻo kei monūʻia; ka naʻa ke pehē, ʻE ʻikai te u fanongo. Ko hoʻo ʻulungāanga eni talu hoʻo kei siʻi, he ʻoku ʻikai te ke fanongo ki hoku leʻo.

22 Wind consumes all your friends, And your lovers go into captivity, Surely then you are ashamed, And have blushed for all your wickedness.

‌ʻE fakaʻosi kotoa pē ʻe he matangi ʻa hoʻo kau tauhi kotoa pē, pea ʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate koe: pea te ke toki mā moʻoni, pea puputuʻu koeʻuhi ko hoʻo angahala kotoa pē.

23 O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious have you been when pangs come to you, Pain—as of a travailing woman.”

‌ʻA koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Lepanoni, ʻa koe kuo ngaohi ho mohenga ʻi he ngaahi sita, hono ʻikai ʻe fakavaivaiʻi koe ʻoka hoko kiate koe ʻae mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e fefine ʻoku langā ke fāʻele!

24 “[As] I live,” A declaration of YHWH, “Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah was a seal on My right hand, surely there I draw you away,

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko au ʻoku ou moʻui, pea ka ne tatau ʻa Konaia ko e foha ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo e mama ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu, te u lī koe mei ai;

25 And I have given you into the hand of those seeking your life, And into hands of which you are afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the Chaldeans.

Pea te u tukuange koe ki he nima ʻokinautolu ʻoku kumi ki hoʻo moʻui, pea ki he nima ʻokinautolu ʻoku ke manavahē ki ai, ʻio, ki he nima ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea ki he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia.

26 And I have cast you, And your mother who bore you, to another country, Where you were not born, and you die there.

Pea te u kapusi koe, mo hoʻo fale, ʻaia naʻa ne fāʻeleʻi koe, ki he fonua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou fāʻeleʻi ai; pea ʻe mate ai ʻakimoutolu.

27 And to the land to where they are lifting up their soul to return, They do not return there.”

Ka ko e fonua ʻaia ʻoku nau holi ke liliu ki ai, ʻe ʻikai te nau toe liliu ki ai.”

28 A grief—a despised broken thing—is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Why have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Indeed, were they cast on to a land that they did not know?

“Ko e tangata ni ko Konaia, ʻikai ko e tamapua fehiʻanekina ia kuo maumauʻi? Pe ko e ipu ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa ki ai ha taha? Ko e hā kuo kapusi ai ʻakinautolu, ko ia mo hono hako, pea kuo kapusi ki he fonua ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo?”

29 Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of YHWH!

‌ʻAe fonua, ʻae fonua, ʻae fonua, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.

30 Thus said YHWH: “Write this man down [as] childless, A man—he does not prosper in his days, For none of his seed prospers, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling in Judah again!”

“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Tohi ʻae tangata ni ke taʻehaʻanefānau, ko e tangata ʻe ʻikai te ne monūʻia ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho: pea ʻe ʻikai monūʻia ha tangata ʻi hono hako, ke nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻo Tevita, pe pule ki Siuta ʻo taʻengata.”
