< Ezekiel 25 >

1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
Naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
2 Son of man Set thy face against the sons of Ammon, — and prophesy against them.
“Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahanga ho mata ki he kau ʻAmoni, pea kikite kiate kinautolu;
3 So then thou shalt say to the sons of Ammon, Hear ye the word of My Lord Yahweh: Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh: Because thou saidst Aha! Against my sanctuary when it was profaned. And against the soil of Israel when it was laid waste, And against the house of Judah when they went into exile.
Pea ke pehē ki he kau ʻAmoni, Fanongo mai ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; koeʻuhi naʻa ke fakamaʻitoʻa mai ki hoku fale tapu ʻi hono fakalieliaʻi; pea ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi hono fakalala; pea ki he fale ʻo Siuta ʻi hono ʻave ʻakinautolu ke fakapōpulaʻi;
4 Therefore, behold me! delivering thee up to the Sons of the East for a possession And they shall set their encampments in thee, And place in thee their habitations, They, shall eat thy fruits, And they, shall drink thy milk;
Vakai, ko ia ia te u tukuange ai koe ki he kakai hahake ke nau maʻu koe, pea te nau fokotuʻu honau nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻiate koe; mo langa honau ngaahi fale ʻiate koe; te ne kai hoʻo fua, pea te nau inu hoʻo huʻahuhu.
5 And I will make of Rabbah a home for camels, And the sons of Ammon a couching-place for flocks, So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
Pea te u ngaohi ʻa Lepaa ko e fale kāmeli, pea ko ʻAmoni ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe fanga sipi; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.
6 For, thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Because thou didst clap thy hands and stamp with thy foot, —and didst rejoice with all thy contempt in thy soul, against the soil of Israel.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; koeʻuhi kuo ke pasi ho nima, mo malaki ʻaki ho vaʻe, pea ke fiefia ʻi loto, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fehiʻa lahi ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli;
7 Therefore behold me! I have stretched out my hand over thee And will deliver thee for a prey to the nations, And will cut thee off from among the peoples, And will cause thee to perish from among the lands, — I will destroy thee, So shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh.
Vakai, ko ia ia te u mafao atu ai hoku nima kiate koe, pea te u tuku koe ke veteki ʻe he kakai hiteni; pea te u motuhi ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai, pea te u pule ke ke ʻosiʻosi mei he ngaahi fonua: Te u fakaʻauha koe; pea te ke ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
8 Thus saith My Lord Yahweh: Because Moab and Seir say, Lo! like all the nations, is the house of Judah.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: “Koeʻuhi ʻoku pehē ʻe Moape, pea mo Seia, Vakai, ʻoku tatau ʻae fale ʻo Siuta mo e hiteni kotoa pē;
9 Therefore, behold me! laying open the side of Moab out of the cities, Out of his cities on his frontiers, The beauty of the land of Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim:
Ko ia, vakai, Te u fakaava ʻae feituʻu ʻo Moape mei hono ngaahi kolo, ʻae kolo ʻoku ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo hono fonua, ʻaia ko e ongoongolelei ʻoe fonua, ʻa Pete-Sesimote mo Pealimeoni, mo Kiliatemi,
10 To the Sons of the East [when they come] against the sons of Ammon, and I will deliver it up for possession, -to the end the sons of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations:
Ki he kakai mei he potu hahake ke nau maʻu ia mo e kau ʻAmoni, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe manatuʻi ʻae kau ʻAmoni ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.
11 Also upon Moab, will I execute judgments, - So shall they know that I, am Yahweh.
Pea te u fai ʻae tautea ki Moape pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
12 Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Because of what Edom hath done, in taking vengeance on the house of Judah, so that they have become guilty again and again and have taken vengeance upon them,
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ko e meʻa kuo fai ʻe ʻItomi ki he fale ʻo Siuta ʻi heʻene tautea ia, pea kuo ne fai hala ʻaupito, mo fakafāsifasi ia kiate kinautolu;
13 Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, I will therefore stretch forth my hand over Edom, and will cut off therefrom man and beast, And will deliver it up as a desolation, from Teman, And they of Dedan, by the sword, shall fall,
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Te u mafao atu foki ʻeau ʻa hoku nima ki ʻItomi, pea te u fakaʻosi mei ai ʻae tangata pea mo e manu; pea te u ngaohi ia ke lala ʻo fai mei Temani; pea ʻe hinga ʻi he heletā ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻo Temani.
14 And I will put forth mine avenging against Edom, by the hand of my people Israel, And they shall deal with Edom, according to mine anger and according to mine indignation, - So shall they know mine avenging, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh,
Pea te u ʻai ke hilifaki ʻa hoku houhau ki ʻItomi ʻi he nima ʻo hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli; pea te nau fai ki ʻItomi ʻo hangē ko hoku houhau, pea fakatatau mo ʻeku tuputāmaki; pea te nau ʻilo ʻa hoku houhau,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
15 Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Because of what the Philistines have done by way of vengeance, - In that they have taken vengeance with contempt in the soul, to destroy, with the enmity of age-past times.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Koeʻuhi kuo fai fakafasifasi ʻae kau Filisitia, ʻonau fai ʻae tautea mo e loto fehiʻa, ke fakaʻauha ia ʻi he fehiʻa ʻe ʻikai ngata;
16 Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! stretching forth my hand over the Philistines, And I will cut off the Cherethim, — And will cause to perish the remnant of the coast of the sea;
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, te u mafao atu ʻeau hoku nima ki he kakai Filisitia, pea teu motuhi ʻae kakai Keliti, mo fakaʻauha ʻa hono toe ʻoku ʻi he matātahi.
17 And I will execute upon them great vengeance, with rebukes of indignation: shall they know that I am Yahweh, when I put forth mine avenging against them.
Pea te u fai ʻae totongi lahi kiate kinautolu mo e valoki kakaha; pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka tuku atu hoku houhau kiate kinautolu.”
