< Ezekiel 6 >

1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Pea naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
2 "Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,
“Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahangatonu ho mata ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea kikite ki ai,
3 and say, 'You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD: Thus says the LORD to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: "Look, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.
Mo pehē, ʻE ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ki he ngaahi moʻunga mo e ngaahi tafungofunga mo e ngaahi vaitafe, pea ki he ngaahi teleʻa; Vakai ko au, ʻio, ko au, te u ʻomi ʻae heletā kiate kimoutolu, pea te u fakaʻauha homou ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
4 Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
Pea ʻe liʻaki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea ʻe maumauʻi homou ngaahi tamapua: pea te u lī hifo ʻa hoʻomou mate ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou ngaahi tamapua.
5 I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.
Pea te u tuku ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi tamapua; pea te u tūtuuʻi takatakai homou hui ʻi he ngaahi feilaulauʻanga.
6 In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
Pea ʻe fakalala homou ngaahi kolo ʻi homou potu nofoʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻe ngaongao homou ngaahi potu fakaʻeiʻeiki; koeʻuhi ke veteki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulauʻanga mo liʻaki, pea maumauʻi mo fakaʻosi homou ngaahi ʻotua, pea hifi ki lalo homou ngaahi tamapua, pea fakaʻauhamālie hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue.
7 The slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
Pea ʻe tō hifo ʻae mate tāmateʻi ʻi loto ʻiate koe, pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.
8 "'"Yet will I leave a remnant, in that you shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries.
“Ka te u tuku ha toenga, koeʻuhi ke ai haʻamou niʻihi ʻe hao mei he heletā ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻoka movetevete ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi fonua.
9 Those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations where they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku hao ʻiate kimoutolu te nau manatu kiate au, ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia ʻe ʻave pōpula ki ai ʻakinautolu, ʻo kau ka fesiʻi honau loto angahala naʻe mamaʻo ʻiate au, mo honau mata naʻe sio holi pe ki honau ngaahi tamapua: pea te nau fehiʻa ʻaupito kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi kovi ʻaia kuo nau fai ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakalielia.
10 They shall know that I am the LORD: I have not said in vain that I would bring this disaster on them."'"
Pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, naʻe ʻikai te u lea vaʻinga ʻaki ʻa ʻeku pehē te u fai ʻae kovi ni kiate kinautolu.”
11 "Thus says the LORD: 'Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, "Alas." because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ke pasi ho nima pea malakaki ho vaʻe, pea ke pehē, ʻOiauē ʻae ngaahi kovi fakalielia ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli! He te nau tō ʻi he heletā, mo e honge, mo e mahaki fakaʻauha.
12 He who is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he who is near shall fall by the sword; and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath on them.
Ko ia ʻoku nofo mamaʻo ʻe mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha; pea ko ia ʻoku ofi ʻe tō ʻi he heletā; pea ko ia ʻoku toe ʻi he nofo kolo ʻe mate ʻi he honge: ʻe pehē ʻeku fakahoko hoku houhau kiate kinautolu.
13 You shall know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered pleasant aroma to all their idols.
Pea te nau toki ʻilo, tā ko au ko Sihova, ʻoka tuku honau kakai tāmatea fakataha mo honau ngaahi tamapua ʻo takatakai ʻi honau ngaahi ʻesifeilaulau, ʻi he potu māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he tumuʻaki ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, ʻi he lolo ʻakau moʻui kotoa pē, pea ʻi he lolo ʻoke lau maʻuiʻui ʻaia ne ʻatu ai ʻae namu kakala ki honau ngaahi tamapua.
14 I will stretch out my hand on them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Riblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD."'"
‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku mafao atu hoku nima kiate kinautolu, mo fakaʻauha ʻae fonua, ʻio, ʻe lahi hake ʻae lala ʻo honau ngaahi nofoʻanga, ʻi he toafa ko Tipilate; pea te nau ʻilo ai ko au ko Sihova.”
