< Ezekiel 7 >
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]
Naʻe hoko mai foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
2 “You human, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say to [the people] [MTY] of Israel: All of Israel will soon be destroyed.
“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 [people of Israel], the end has come. I will punish you severely. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done, and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
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 I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will [surely] punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have done it].”
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 This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “You will soon experience many terrible disasters!
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, Vakai kuo hoko ʻae kovi ki he kovi.
6 This will be the [of Israel]; your country will be finished! And your [lives] will be ended [PRS]!
Kuo hoko ha ngataʻanga, ʻio, kuo hoko ʻae ngataʻanga; ʻoku ne lamasi ʻaki koe, pea vakai kuo hoko ia.
7 It will be the end of you people who live in the [of Israel]. The time has come; the [when you will be destroyed] is near. At that time [the people who worship idols] on the mountains will not be happy; they will panic.
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 I am very angry with you and am about to pour out my punishment [MTY] on you. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
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 I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will surely punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have punished you.
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 The [of your punishment] is here! It has arrived! Disasters have come.
Vakai ki he ʻaho, vakai kuo hoko ia: kuo hokosia ʻae pongipongi; kuo moto ʻae vaʻa, kuo litolito ʻae fielahi.
11 People are acting violently and doing more wicked things. And nothing that belongs to those people will be left, none of their money, nothing that is valuable.
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 Now is the time; that day has arrived.
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 People who buy things should not [because of buying things very cheaply], and those who sell things should not be [because they had to sell things cheaply], [Yahweh] will be punishing [MTY] everyone. During the rest of their lives, people who sell some of their property will never be able to buy it back, because I, Yahweh, will never change my mind about what I have declared; because of your sins, [I will destroy] all of you people.
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 Even though [soldiers] blow [to prepare for] a battle, no soldier will go into a battle, because I will have killed all of them.
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 [When those things happen, your enemies] will be [the city] with their swords, and there will be plagues and famines [the city]. [who flee from the city] into the countryside will be killed [their enemies’] swords, and those who stay in the city will die from famines and plagues.
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 Those who survive and escape will flee to the mountains, and they all will moan like doves because of their sins.
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 [Because everyone will be very afraid, ] all the people’s hands will become limp and their knees will become very weak.
ʻE vaivai ʻae nima kotoa pē, pea ʻe tatau mo e vai ʻae tui kotoa pē.
18 They will put on clothes made from rough cloth, and they will be terrified. Their faces will show that they are ashamed, and they will shave their [to show that they are very sad].
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 They will throw their silver into the streets, and consider that their gold is only like [SIM] garbage, because they will realize that their silver and gold will not be able to rescue them when I, Yahweh, punish them. They will not be able to use their gold and silver to buy things to fill their stomachs, because having a lot of gold and silver has led them to sin.
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 They were proud of their beautiful jewelry, and they used it to make their detestable idols and disgusting [of their gods]. So I will cause them to be disgusted with those things.
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 I will give their silver and gold to foreigners who invade your country and take away your valuable treasures. I will give those things to wicked people, and they will do disgraceful things to those treasures that I give them.
“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 I will not (interfere with/stop) [IDM] robbers when they enter my sacred temple and desecrate 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 chains to be fastened on you. People are being murdered [MTY] throughout the country, and people are acting violently throughout the city.
“Ngaohi ha maea ukamea: he ʻoku fonu ʻae fonua ʻi he toto ʻoe angahala, pea pito mo e kolo ʻi he fakamālohi.
24 So I will bring armies of the nations whose people are extremely wicked to occupy the houses of the Israeli people. I will cause Israeli [who think that they] are [IRO] strong/mighty to no longer be proud. Your enemies will cause your places of worship to no longer be acceptable to be used.
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 When your enemies cause you to be terrified, you will plead for them to make peace, but there will be no peace.
ʻOku haʻu ʻae fakaʻauha; pea te nau kumi ʻae melino, kae ʻikai ia.
26 You will experience many disasters, and you will continually hear [about disasters that are happening in other places]. People will plead with prophets to tell them what visions they have received, [but the prophets will not have received any visions]. Priests will no longer teach people the [that I gave to Moses].
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 Your king will mourn, and his son will no [longer] [that good things will happen]. The hands of people throughout the country will tremble. And I will do to them what they deserve for their wicked behavior. I will [and condemn] them the same way they have [and condemned] others. Then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
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.”
