< Ezekiel 34 >
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, even to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe unto the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the sheep?
“Foha ʻoe tangata, kikite ki he kau tauhi ʻo ʻIsileli, kikite, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ki he ngaahi tauhi; Malaʻia ki he kau tauhi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku nau fafanga pe ʻakinautolu! ʻIkai ʻoku totonu ke fafanga ʻe he tauhi ʻa ʻene fanga sipi?
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill the fatlings; but ye feed not the sheep.
ʻOku kai ʻekimoutolu ʻae ngako, pea ʻoku mou kofuʻaki ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi, ʻoku mou tāmateʻi ia ʻaia ʻoku sino, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou fafanga ʻae fanga sipi.
4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigour have ye ruled over them.
Naʻe ʻikai te mou fakamālohi ʻae vaivai, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou faitoʻo ki he mahaki, pe te mou nonoʻo ʻaia naʻe mafesi, pe te mou toe kumi mai ʻaia naʻe fakahēʻi, pe te mou kumi ʻaia naʻe mole, ka kuo mou pule mālohi mo fai fakamamahi ki ai.
5 And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
Pea naʻe fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻikai ha tauhi: pea naʻa nau hoko ko e meʻakai ki he fanga manu fekai kotoa pē ʻoe vao, ʻi heʻenau movetevete.
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and there was none that did search or seek [after them].
Naʻe ʻalu hēhē pe ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga kotoa pē: ʻio, naʻe fakahēʻi ʻeku fanga sipi ki he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai hakule pe kumi ki ai ha taha.
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD:
“Ko ia, ʻE kau tauhi, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
8 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely forasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became meat to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my sheep;
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko au ʻoku ou moʻui, pea ko e moʻoni, koeʻuhi kuo hoko ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi ko e fakamālohia, pea kuo hoko ia ko e meʻakai ki he fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ha tauhi, pea naʻe ʻikai kumi ʻe heʻeku kau tauhi ki heʻeku fanga sipi, pea naʻe kai pe ʻe heʻeku kau tauhi, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fafanga ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi;
9 therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
Ko ia, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau tauhi, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova;
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu au ki he kau tauhi pea te u ʻeke ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi mei honau nima pea te u fekau ke tuku ʻenau fafanga ʻae fanga sipi: pea ʻe ʻikai toe kai ʻe he kau tauhi ʻiate kinautolu; he te u fakamoʻui ʻeku fanga sipi mei honau ngutu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau kei meʻakai ʻaki ʻakinautolu.
11 For thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
“He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai ko au, ʻio, ko au, te u hakule ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, mo kumi ki ai.
12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
ʻO hangē ko e kumi ʻe he tauhi ʻa ʻene fanga sipi, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku ne ʻalu atu ai ki he fanga sipi kuo movetevete; ʻe pehē ʻa ʻeku kumi mai ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, mo ʻeku fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he potu kotoa pē kuo nau hē ki ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻalotāmaki mo fakapoʻupoʻuli.
13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
Pea te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he kakai, mo tānaki ʻakinautolu mei he ngaahi fonua, pea ʻe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau fonua ʻonautolu, pea ʻe fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he veʻe vaitafe, pea mo e ngaahi potu kakai ʻoe fonua.
14 I will feed them with good pasture, and upon the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold, and on fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
Te u fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu lau maʻuiʻui, pea ʻe ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻa honau lotoʻā: te nau tokoto ai ʻi he lotoʻā lelei, pea te nau kai ʻi he potu lau maʻuiʻui ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli.
15 I myself will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.
Te u fafanga ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, pea te u fakatokoto ʻakinautolu ki lalo, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
16 I will seek that which was lost, and will bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: and the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in judgment.
Te u kumi kiate ia naʻe mole, pea te u toe ʻomi ʻaia naʻe fakahēʻi atu, te u nonoʻo ʻaia naʻe mafesi, pea te u fakamālohi ʻaia naʻe vaivai: pea te u tāmateʻi ʻaia ʻoku sino mo mālohi; te u fafanga ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae tautea.
17 And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, as well the rams as the he-goats.
Pea koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai te u fili vakavakai ki he manu mo e manu, ki he fanga sipitangata, mo e fanga kosi tangata.
18 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
Ko e meʻa siʻi koā ia kiate kimoutolu ke mou kai ke ʻosi ʻae potu lau maʻuiʻui, pea mou toe malaki hifo ai ʻi homou lalo vaʻe ʻa hono toe ʻoe potu ʻoku fafanga ai kimoutolu? Pea kuo mou inu mei he ngaahi vai loloto, ka ko hono toe kuo mou fakaʻuliʻi ʻaki homou vaʻe?
19 And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
Pea ko ʻeku fanga sipi, ʻoku kai ʻekinautolu mei he meʻa kuo mou malaki ʻaki homou vaʻe; pea ʻoku nau inu mei he meʻa kuo fakaʻuliʻi ʻaki homou vaʻe.
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them: Behold, I, even I, judge between the fat cattle and the lean cattle.
“Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua kiate kinautolu; Vakai, ko au, ʻio, ko au, te u fili vakavakai ki he manu ʻoku sino mo e manu ʻoku tutue.
21 Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;
Koeʻuhi kuo mou fetuotuai pea kuo mou feteketekeʻi ʻae kau vaivai ʻaki homou nifo pea ko ia kuo nau hē ai ke mamaʻo;
22 therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
Ko ia ia te u fakamoʻui ai ʻeku fanga sipi, pea ʻe ʻikai toe tulia ʻakinautolu; pea te u fili vakavakai ki he manu mo e manu.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
Pea te u fokotuʻu ha tauhi pe taha kiate kinautolu, pea te ne fafanga kinautolu, ʻio, ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita: ko ia ia te ne fafanga ʻakinautolu, pea ko ia ia te ne tauhi kiate kinautolu.
24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.
Pea ko au Sihova, te u hoko ko honau ʻOtua; pea ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko e ʻeiki ʻiate kinautolu; ko au Sihova, kuo u lea ki ai.
25 And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
Pea te nau fai mo au ʻae fuakava ke melino, pea te u fakaʻosi ʻae fanga manu fekai mei he fonua; pea te nau nofo lelei pe ʻi he toafa, pea nau mohe ʻi he ngaahi vao.
26 And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.
Pea te u ngaohi ʻakinautolu pea mo e ngaahi potu ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻi hoku moʻunga, ko e monūʻiaʻanga; pea te u fakatō hifo ʻae ʻuha ʻi hono ʻaho totonu; ʻe ai ʻae ʻuha lolo ʻoe tāpuaki.
27 And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be secure in their land; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
Pea ʻe tupu mei he ʻakau ʻoe ngoue ʻa hono fua, pea ʻe tuku mai ʻe he kelekele ʻa hono tupu, pea te nau malu pe ʻi honau fonua, mo nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka motuhi ʻae nonoʻo ʻo honau haʻamonga, mo fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻonautolu naʻe fakamālohia ʻakinautolu.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.
Pea ʻe ʻikai toe tulia ʻakinautolu ʻe he hiteni, pea ʻe ʻikai toe keina ʻakinautolu ʻe he fanga manu ʻoe fonua; ka ʻe malu pe ʻenau nofo, pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa fakamanaʻi ʻakinautolu.
29 And I will raise up unto them a plantation for renown, and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.
Pea te u fakatupu maʻanautolu ʻae ʻakau ke ongoongolelei, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe mate fiekaia ʻi he fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe fua ʻae mā ʻoe hiteni ʻo taʻengata.
30 And they shall know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD.
ʻE pehē ʻa ʻenau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ʻoku ou ʻiate kinautolu; pea ko kinautolu, ʻio, ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
31 And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD.
“Pea ko kimoutolu ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, ʻae fanga sipi ʻoku ou tauhi, ko e kau tangata ʻakimoutolu, pea ko homou ʻOtua au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
