Ezekiel 2

1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you."

Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, tuʻu hake ki ho vaʻe pea te u lea kiate koe.”

2 The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.

Pea ʻi heʻene folofola mai, naʻe hoko mai ʻae laumālie kiate au, ʻo ne fokotuʻu au ki hoku vaʻe, pea u fanongo kiate ia naʻe lea kiate au.

3 He said to me, "Son of man, I send you to the house of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.

Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoku ou fekau atu koe ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he puleʻanga angatuʻu, kuo angatuʻu kiate au: kuo fai angahala kiate au ʻakinautolu mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.

4 The children are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH.'

He ko e fānau mata fielahi mo loto fefeka ʻakinautolu. Ko au ia ʻoku ou fekau atu koe kiate kinautolu; pea te ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

5 They, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house), yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.

Pea neongo ʻenau loto ke fanongo, pe ko ʻenau taʻeloto ki ai, (he ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu, ) ka te nau ʻilo naʻe ai ha palōfita ʻiate kinautolu.

6 You, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: do not be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

“Pea ko koe, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē kiate kinautolu pea ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē ki heʻenau lea, neongo hoʻo ʻi he ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻāmoa, pea ke nofo hifo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi sikopio: ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē ki heʻenau lea, pea ʻoua naʻa ke lilika ʻi heʻenau sio: ka ko e moʻoni ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu.

7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.

Pea te ke lea ʻaki ʻe koe ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea kiate kinautolu, pe te nau loto ke fanongo ki ai, pe te nau taʻeloto ki ai he ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ʻenau angatuʻu.

8 But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you."

Ka ko koe, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, fanongo ki he meʻa ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe: ʻoua naʻa ke angatuʻu koe ʻo hangē ko e fale angatuʻu na: fakamanga ho ngutu pea ke kai ʻaia te u foaki kiate koe.”

9 When I looked, look, a hand was put forth to me; and, look, a written scroll was in it.

Pea ʻi heʻeku sio, vakai, naʻe fakahā mai kiate au ʻae nima; pea vakai naʻe ʻi ai ʻae takainga tohi;

10 He spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

Pea ne folofolahi ia ʻi hoku ʻao; pea naʻe tohi ia ʻi loto pea ʻituʻa: pea naʻe tohi ʻi ai ʻae tangi, mo e mamahi, pea mo e malaʻia.
