Ezekiel 13

1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,

2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou to them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;

“Foha ʻoe tangata, kikite ki he kau kikite ʻo ʻIsileli ʻoku kikite, pea ke pehē ʻe koe kiate kinautolu ʻoku kikite mei honau loto ʻonautolu pē, Mou fanongo ʻakimoutolu ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.”

3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ‘Malaʻia ki he kau kikite vale, ʻaia kuo muimui ki honau laumālie ʻonautolu pē, ka ʻoku ʻikai ke mamata ki ha meʻa!

4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.

‌ʻE ʻIsileli ʻoku tatau hoʻo kau kikite mo e fanga fokisi ʻi he toafa.

5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.

‌ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻalu hake ki he ngaahi ava, pe ngaohi ʻae ʻā ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke tuʻumaʻu ai ʻi he tau ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Sihova.

6 They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.

Kuo nau mamata ki he vaʻinga mo e kikite loi! ʻI heʻenau pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova: ka naʻe ʻikai fekau ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova: pea kuo nau fakaʻamanaki ʻae niʻihi ki he fakamoʻoni ʻo ʻenau lea.

7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it], although I have not spoken?

‌ʻIkai kuo mou mamata ki he meʻa hā mai ʻoku vaʻinga, pea ʻikai kuo mou lea ʻaki ʻae kikite loi ʻi hoʻomou pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; kae ʻosi ʻoku ʻikai te u lea au?”

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you, saith the Lord GOD.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “Koeʻuhi kuo mou lea ʻaki ʻae vaʻinga, mo mamata ki he loi, ko ia, vakai, ko au ia ʻe fai mo kimoutolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

9 And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.

Pea ʻe tō hoku nima ki he kau kikite ʻoku mamata ki he vaʻinga, mo nau kikite loi: ʻe ʻikai te nau kau ʻi he fakataha ʻo hoku kakai, pea ʻe ʻikai tohi ʻakinautolu ʻi he tohi ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hū ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; he te mou ʻilo ko au, ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua.

10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and lo, others daubed it with untempered [mortar]:

Koeʻuhi, ʻio, koeʻuhi kuo nau kākaaʻi ʻa hoku kakai, ʻi heʻenau pehē, Fiemālie; ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fiemālie; pea naʻe langa hake ʻe he tokotaha ʻae ʻā, pea vakai naʻe laku ki ai ʻae lahe taʻepipiki ʻe he niʻihi kehe.

11 Say to them who daub [it] with untempered [mortar], that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend [it].

Tala kiate kinautolu ʻoku laku ki ai ʻae lahe taʻepipiki, ʻe hinga ia: ʻe ai ʻae ʻuha lahi; pea ʻe tō hifo ʻakimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi maka lahi ʻoe ʻuha fefeka; pea ʻe hae ia ʻe he matangi mālohi.

12 Lo, when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where [is] the daubing with which ye have daubed [it]?

Vakai ʻoka hinga ʻae ʻā, ʻikai ʻe pehē ai kiate kimoutolu, Ko fē ia ʻae laku lahe ʻaia naʻa mou fai?”

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend [it] with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in [my] fury to consume [it].

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻIo, ko au te u hae ia ʻaki ʻae matangi mālohi ʻi heʻeku houhau lahi: pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻita ʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻuha lahi, pea mo e ʻuha maka ke fakaʻosiʻosi ia ʻi heʻeku houhau lahi.

14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered [mortar], and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be made bare, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku maumauʻi ki lalo ʻae ʻā ʻaia kuo mou laku ai ʻae lahe taʻepipiki, pea ʻe holoki hifo ia ki he kelekele; ʻio, naʻa mo hono tuʻunga ʻe hā ia, pea ʻe hinga ia, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu ʻi loto ʻi ai: pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.

15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar], and will say to you, The wall [is] no [more], neither they that daubed it;

‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku fakahoko ʻeku houhau ki he ʻā, mo kinautolu

16 [To wit], the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and [there is] no peace, saith the Lord GOD.

‌ʻAe kau kikite ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku kikite ki Selūsalema, pea ʻoku mamata ki he meʻa hā mai ʻoe fakamelino kiate ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha melino;” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,

“Ko eni foki, ʻa koe, foha ʻoe tangata, fakahangatonu ho mata ki he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo hoʻo kakai, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kikite mei honau loto ʻonautolu; pea ke kikite koe kiate kinautolu.

18 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [women] that sew pillows to all arm-holes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive [that come] to you?

Pea ke lea, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua;’ Malaʻia ki he kau fefine ʻoku tuitui ʻae faakiʻanga ki he nima kotoa pē, mo ngaohi ʻae pūlou ki he ʻulu kehekehe ke tuli ʻae ngaahi laumālie! Te mou tuli koā ʻae laumālie ʻo hoku kakai, pea te mou fakamoʻui ʻae laumālie ʻoku haʻu kiate kimoutolu?

19 And will ye profane me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear [your] lies?

Pea te mou fakalieliaʻi au ʻi hoku kakai, koeʻuhi ko ha falukunga ʻoe paʻale mo ha konga mā, ke tāmate ʻae laumālie ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻae laumālie ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke moʻui, ʻi hoʻomou loi ki hoku kakai ʻoku fanongo ki he loi?”

20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against your pillows, with which ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Vakai ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki homou faakiʻanga ʻaia ʻoku mou tauhele ʻaki ʻae ngaahi laumālie; pea te u hae ia mei homou nima mo tukuange ʻae ngaahi laumālie, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi laumālie ʻoku mou tuli ke tauheleʻi.

21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall no more be in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

Te u haehae foki ʻa homou pūlou mo fakamoʻui ʻa hoku kakai mei homou nima, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau kei ʻi homou nima ke tauheleʻi; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.

22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:

“Koeʻuhi kuo mou fakamamahiʻi ʻae loto ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻaki ʻae ngaahi loi, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fakamamahi; mo fakamālohi ʻae nima ʻoe angahala ke ʻoua naʻa foki ia mei hono hala kovi, ʻi hoʻomou tala moʻui ki ai:

23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

Ko ia ʻe ʻikai te mou toe mamata ki he vaʻinga, pe fai ʻae kikite: he te u fakamoʻui ʻa hoku kakai mei homou nima: pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
