< Ezekiel 7 >

1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
Naʻe hoko mai foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
2 Thou therefore O son of man. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, To the so of Israel, there is an end, - The end hath come upon the four skirts of the land.
“Ko koe foki ko e foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; Ko e ngataʻanga, ʻio, ko e ngataʻanga kuo hoko mai ki he feituʻu ʻe fā ʻoe fonua.
3 Now is the end upon thee, Therefore will I send mine anger against thee, And judge thee according to thy ways, - And lay upon thee all thine abominations;
Ko eni, kuo hoko ʻae ngataʻanga kiate koe, pea te u tuku atu ʻa hoku houhau kiate kimoutolu, pea te u fakamaauʻi koe ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ngaahi faianga, pea te u totongi kiate koe ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia.
4 And mine eye shall not shield thee. Neither will I pity, —. For thy ways—upon thee, will I lay. And thine abominations in thy midst, shall be found, So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
Pea ʻe ʻikai mamae ʻa hoku fofonga, pe te u manavaʻofa: ka te u totongi hoʻo ngaahi hala kiate koe, pea ʻe ʻi loto ʻiate koe hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia: pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.
5 Thus saith My Lord Yahweh: A calamity, a sole calamity, lo! it hath come.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, Vakai kuo hoko ʻae kovi ki he kovi.
6 An end hath come, Come hath the end It hath roused itself up against thee, — Lo! it hath come.
Kuo hoko ha ngataʻanga, ʻio, kuo hoko ʻae ngataʻanga; ʻoku ne lamasi ʻaki koe, pea vakai kuo hoko ia.
7 The circle hath come round unto thee. O inhabitant of the land, - The time, hath come, The day of consternation, hath drawn near. And not the joyful shout of the mountains.
Kuo hoko ʻae pongipongi kiate koe, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua: kuo hoko hono kuonga, kuo ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻoe mamahi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e lea talia mai pe ia mei he ngaahi moʻunga.
8 Now shortly, will I pour out mine indignation upon thee, And will bring to an end mine anger against thee, And will judge thee according to thy ways, - And will lay upon thee all thine abominations.
Ko eni, ʻoku toetoe siʻi pea te u lilingi atu hoku houhau kiate koe, pea fai ke ʻosi ʻeku houhau kiate koe: pea te u fakamaauʻi koe ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo ngaahi hala, pea te u totongi koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia.
9 And mine eye shall not shield thee Neither will I have pity, — According to thy ways, unto thee will I render, And thine abominations, in thy midst shall be found, So shall ye know that I, Yahweh am smiting.
Pea ʻe ʻikai mamae ʻa hoku mata, pe te u manavaʻofa; te u totongi koe ʻo fakatatau ki ho ngaahi ʻaluʻanga, mo hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia ʻi loto ʻiate koe; pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ʻoku tā.”
10 Lo! the day, Lo! it hath come, The circle, hath gone forth, The sceptre, hath blossomed, Insolence hath sprouted:
Vakai ki he ʻaho, vakai kuo hoko ia: kuo hokosia ʻae pongipongi; kuo moto ʻae vaʻa, kuo litolito ʻae fielahi.
11 Violence hath risen up as a sceptre of lawlessness, —There are none of them And none of their multitude And none of their throngs And no lamentation over them.
Kuo tupu ʻae fakamālohi ko e vaʻa ʻoe fai kovi: ʻe ʻikai ha toe ʻiate kinautolu pe ko ʻenau tokolahi, pe ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻanautolu: pea ʻe ʻikai tēngihia ʻakinautolu.
12 The time hath come. The day hath arrived, The buyer, let him not rejoice, and The seller, let him not mourn, — For indignation, is against all her multitude.
Kuo hoko hono kuonga, kuo ofi ʻae ʻaho: ʻoua naʻa fiefia ʻaia ʻoku fakatau mai, pe mamahi ʻaia ʻoku fakatau atu: he kuo nofo ʻae houhau ki hono kakai kotoa pē.
13 For the seller, unto that which is to be sold, shall not return, though yet among the living, were their life, for the vision is against all her multitude. He shall not return, And, no man, by his punishment, shall strengthen, his life.
Neongo ʻae moʻui ʻaʻana ʻoku fakatau ʻe ʻikai foki mai ia ki he meʻa kuo fakatau: he ko e kikite ʻoku kau ki hono kakai kotoa pē ʻe ʻikai foki mai; pea ʻe ʻikai toe taulanga ha taha ʻi he kovi kuo ne fai ʻi heʻene moʻui.
14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make All ready, Yet is there none going to the battle; For mine indignation is against all her multitude.
Kuo nau ifi ʻae meʻalea, ʻio, ko e fai ke teuteuʻi: ka ʻoku ʻikai ha niʻihi ʻe ʻalu ki he tau: he ʻoku nofo hoku houhau ki hono kakai.
15 The sword without, and Pestilence and famine within, — He that is in the field by the sword, shall die, and He that is in the city famine or pestilence shall devour him;
‌ʻOku ʻi tuaʻā ʻae heletā, pea ʻoku ʻi lotoʻā ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha mo e honge ko ia ʻoku ʻi he ngoue ʻe mate ʻi he heletā pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi loto kolo, ʻe keina ia ʻe he mahaki fakaʻauha pea mo e honge.
16 While they who escape of them shall escape and become on the mountains as the doves of the valleys, all of them cooing, —each one in his punishment.
Ka ko kinautolu ʻe hao ʻiate kinautolu ʻe hao pe, pea te nau ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo hangē ko e lupe ʻoku tangi, ʻe taki taha tangi ʻi heʻene kovi.
17 All hands shall be unnerved; and All knees shall be weak as water,
‌ʻE vaivai ʻae nima kotoa pē, pea ʻe tatau mo e vai ʻae tui kotoa pē.
18 Therefore shall they gird themselves with sackcloth, And shuddering shall cover them, -And in all faces, shall be paleness, And in all their heads, baldness.
Pea te nau ʻai foki ʻae tauangaʻa, pea ʻe taʻomia ʻakinautolu ʻi he ilifia, pea ʻe mā honau mata kotoa pē, pea ʻe tekefua honau ʻulu kotoa pē.
19 Their silver into the streets, shall they cast and Their gold for throwing away, shall serve, Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Yahweh, Their craving, shall they not satisfy, and Their belly, shall they not fill, For a stumbling-block, hath their iniquity become.
Te nau laku ki he hala ʻa ʻenau siliva, pea ʻe hoko ʻenau koula ke tatau mo e meʻa ʻuli: ʻe ʻikai faʻa fakahaofi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻenau siliva mo ʻenau koula ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe houhau ʻo Sihova: ʻe ʻikai fiemālie ai honau laumālie, pe mākona ai honau fatu: he ko e tūkiaʻanga ia ʻo ʻenau hia.
20 When, the beauty of his own ornament, he had, in majesty, placed, Then, the images, of their abominations Their detestable things, Made they therein, — For this cause have I delivered it up to them for removal;
Ko e matamatalelei ʻo hono teunga, naʻe ʻai ia mo e nāunau lahi: ka naʻa nau ngaohi mei ai ʻenau ngaahi fakatātā fakalielia mo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa kovi: ko ia kuo u tuku ia ke mamaʻo ʻiate kinautolu.
21 Yea I will deliver it Into the hand of foreigners for a prey, And to the lawless ones of the earth for a spoil, And they will profane it;
“Pea te u tuku ia ki he nima ʻoe kakai muli ke maʻu fakakaihaʻa, pea ki he angakovi ʻo māmani ko e meʻa vete; pea te nau fakalieliaʻi ia.
22 And I will turn away my face from them, And they will profane my cherished place, —Yea there will enter it violent men Who will profane it.
Pea te u tafoki hoku fofonga ʻiate kinautolu, pea te nau fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku potu tapu, koeʻuhi ʻe hū ki ai ʻae kau kaihaʻa ʻo fakakoviʻi ia.
23 Prepare thou a chain, — For, the land, is full of the crime of bloodshed, And, the city, is full of violence.
“Ngaohi ha maea ukamea: he ʻoku fonu ʻae fonua ʻi he toto ʻoe angahala, pea pito mo e kolo ʻi he fakamālohi.
24 So then I will bring in the wicked ones of the nations, And they shall take possession of their houses, —And I will cause to cease the pomp of the strong ones, And their holy places shall be profaned.
Ko ia ia te u ʻomi ai ʻae fungani kovi mei he hiteni, pea te nau maʻu honau ngaahi fale: te u ngaohi foki ke ngata ʻae fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe kau mālohi; pea ʻe fakaʻuliʻi ʻa honau ngaahi potu tapu.
25 Destruction, hath entered, - And they shall seek welfare and there be none.
‌ʻOku haʻu ʻae fakaʻauha; pea te nau kumi ʻae melino, kae ʻikai ia.
26 Disaster upon disaster, shall come, And report after report shall arise, Therefore shall they seek a vision from prophet, And law shall perish from priest. And counsel from elders.
‌ʻE hoko ʻae kovi ki he kovi, mo e ongoongo ki he ongoongo; te nau toki kumi ha kikite mei he palōfita; ka ʻe mole ʻae fono mei he taulaʻeiki mo e fakakaukau mei he kau mātuʻa.
27 The king, shall mourn and, The chief, shall clothe himself with astonishment, and, the hands of the people of the land, shall be wrung in anguish, — After their own way, will I deal with them and, With their own sentences, will I sentence them, And they shall know that, I, am Yahweh.
‌ʻE tangi mamahi ʻae tuʻi, pea ʻe kofuʻaki ʻe he houʻeiki ʻae malaʻia pea ʻe puputuʻu ʻae nima ʻoe kakai ʻi he fonua: te u fai kiate kinautolu ke tatau mo ʻenau anga, pea te u fakamaau ke totonu kiate kinautolu; pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.”
