Ezekiel 24

1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻi hono hiva ʻoe taʻu, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, mo hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he māhina, ʻo pehē,

2 "Son of man, write the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.

Foha ʻoe tangata, tohi ʻe koe ʻae hingoa ʻoe ʻaho ko eni: he naʻe teuteu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Selūsalema ʻi he ʻaho ko eni.

3 Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD, "Set on the caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it:

Pea ke lea ʻaki ha fakatātā ki he fale angatuʻu, mo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Fokotuʻu ʻae kulo, fokotuʻu ia pea lilingi ha vai ki ai:

4 gather its pieces into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

Tānaki ʻae ngaahi konga ki ai, ʻae konga lelei kotoa pē, ʻae alanga mui mo e alanga muʻa; fakafonu ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi hui lelei.

5 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the caldron; make it boil well; yes, let its bones be boiled in its midst."'

Fili mai ʻaia ʻoku lelei hake ʻi he fanga manu, pea ʻai ʻae ngaahi hui ki lalo ʻi ai, pea ʻai ke lelei ʻaupito, pea fakamoho ʻae hui ʻi ai.”

6 "Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust is not gone out of it. Take out of it piece after piece; No lot is fallen on it.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Malaʻia ki he kolo kuo pani toto, ʻae kulo ko ia, ʻoku kei ʻi ai ʻae ʻuli, kuo teʻeki ke mavahe hono ʻuli mei ai! Toʻo taki taha mai ʻae konga mei ai, pea ʻoua naʻa filifilimānako.

7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it on the bare rock; she didn't pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.

He ʻoku ʻi loto ʻiate ia ʻa hono toto kuo ne ʻai ia ki he funga maka; naʻe ʻikai te ne lilingi ia ki he kelekele ke ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae efu:

8 That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered.'

Ka koeʻuhi ke tupu ʻae houhau mo fakahoko hono tautea; kuo u tuku ai hono toto ki he funga maka, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻufiʻufi ia.”

9 "Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Woe to the bloody city. I also will make the pile great.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Malaʻia ki he kolo pani toto! ʻIo, te u fokotuʻu ke lahi ʻae fefie ki he afi.

10 Pile on the wood, make the fire hot, boil the meat well, and mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.

‌ʻAi pe ʻae fefie, pea tafu ʻae afi, pea tutu ʻae kakano, pea ʻai ke fifisi lahi, pea tuku ke vela ʻae ngaahi hui.

11 Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may be consumed.

Pea toki ʻai maha pe ia ki he afi, koeʻuhi ke vela ai hono palasa, ʻio, ke vela, pea koeʻuhi ke molū hono fakalielia ʻi ai, pea ke ʻosi mei ai ʻae ʻuli ʻoku tētē.

12 She has wearied herself with toil; yet her great rust doesn't go forth out of her; her rust doesn't go forth by fire.

Kuo ne fakaongosia ia ʻi he ngaahi loi, pea naʻe ʻikai mahuʻi meiate ia ʻa hono ʻuli: ko e [meʻa ]ʻuli ʻi ai ʻe tō ki he afi.

13 In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed you and you weren't cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.

‌ʻOku fakalielia hoʻo [meʻa ]ʻuli: pea koeʻuhi kuo u fakamaʻa koe kae ʻikai te ke maʻa, ʻe ʻikai toe fakamaʻa koe, kaeʻoua ke u ʻai ke hoko ʻa hoku houhau kiate koe.

14 I, the LORD, have spoken it: it shall happen, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways and according to your deeds I will judge you,' says the LORD."

Ko au ko Sihova kuo u lea ki ai: ʻe hoko pe ia, pea te u fai ia ʻeau; ʻe ʻikai te u fakaholomui, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mamae, pe te u fakatomala; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, te nau fakamaauʻi koe ʻo fakatatau ki ho hala, pea tatau mo hoʻo ngāue kuo ke fai.”

15 Also the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

16 "Son of man, look, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.

“Foha ʻoe tangata, vakai, ʻoku ou toʻo atu ʻaia ʻoku holi ki ai ho mata, ʻi he tā pe taha: ka ʻe ʻikai te ke mamahi pe tangi, pea ʻe ʻikai tafe hifo ho loʻimata.

17 Sigh, but not aloud, make no mourning for the dead; bind your headdress on you, and put your shoes on your feet, and do not cover your lips, and do not eat men's bread."

‌ʻOua naʻa tangi, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ha mamahi, koeʻuhi ko e pekia; ʻai pe ʻae tatā ki ho ʻulu, pea ʻai mo e topuvaʻe ki ho vaʻe, pea ʻoua naʻa puke ngutu, pea ʻoua naʻa kai ʻae mā ʻae kau tangilāulau.”

18 So I spoke to the people in the morning; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

Ko ia naʻaku lea ki he kakai ʻi he pongipongi: pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he efiafi naʻe pekia ʻa hoku uaifi; pea naʻaku fai ʻi he pongipongi ʻe taha ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau mai.

19 The people said to me, "Won't you tell us what these things are to us, that you do so?"

Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe he kakai kiate au, “ʻE ʻikai te ke fakahā mai hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimautolu, pe ko e hā kuo ke fai pehē ai?”

20 Then I said to them, "The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Pea naʻaku tali ʻaki ʻeni kiate kinautolu, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

21 'Speak to the house of Israel, "Thus says the LORD: Look, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind shall fall by the sword.

“Lea ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai te u fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku fale tapu, ʻaia ko homou mālohiʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku holi ki ai ho mata, pea mamae ki ai ho laumālie; pea ko ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine kuo mou tuku ʻe hinga ʻi he heletā.

22 You shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.

Pea te mou fai ʻo hangē ko ia kuo u fai: ʻe ʻikai te mou pupuni ngutu, pe te mou kai ʻi he mā ʻae kakai tangilāulau.

23 Your turbans shall be on your heads, and your shoes on your feet: you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.

Pea ʻe tatā pe homou ʻulu, pea ʻai mo e topuvaʻe ki homou vaʻe ʻe ʻikai te mou mamahi pe fai ʻae tangi ka te mou fakaʻauʻausino pe, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou hia, pea femamahiʻaki pe ʻiate kimoutolu

24 Thus Ezekiel shall be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the LORD."'"

Ko ia ko ʻIsikieli ko e fakaʻilonga ia kiate kimoutolu: te mou fai ʻekimoutolu ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē kuo ne fai ʻe ia: pea ka hoko mai eni, te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

25 "You, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart, their sons and their daughters,

“Ko eni foki, ʻa koe foha ʻoe tangata, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te u toʻo atu ai meiate kinautolu honau mālohi, mo e fiefia ʻo ʻenau nāunau, ʻae holi ʻa honau mata, mo ia kuo tukupau honau loto ki ai, ʻa honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻikai ʻe pehē,

26 that in that day he who escapes shall come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?

Ko ia ʻe hao ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe haʻu kiate koe ke fakaongo ia ki ho telinga?

27 In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you shall speak, and be no more mute: so you will be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am the LORD."

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe matoʻo ho ngutu kiate ia kuo hao, pea te ke lea, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke kei noa: pea ko e fakaʻilonga koe kiate kinautolu; pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
