Deuteronomy 28

1 It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that Yahweh your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “Kapau te ke tokanga lelei ki he fono ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tokanga mo fai ʻene ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekauʻi koe he ʻaho ni, ʻe hiki koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ke māʻolunga lahi koe ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani:

2 All these blessings will come upon you, and overtake you, if you listen to Yahweh your God’s voice.

Pea ʻe hoko kiate koe ʻae ngaahi tāpuaki ni kotoa pē, ʻo fetaʻomi kiate koe, ʻo kapau te ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

3 You shall be blessed in the city, and you shall be blessed in the field.

‌ʻE monūʻia koe ʻi he kolo, pea ʻe monūʻia koe ʻi he ngoue.

4 You shall be blessed in the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock.

‌ʻE monūʻia ʻae fua ʻo ho sino, mo e fua ʻo hoʻo ngoue, mo e fua ʻo hoʻo fanga manu, mo hono tupu ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, mo hoʻo ngaahi fanga sipi.

5 Your basket and your kneading trough shall be blessed.

‌ʻE monūʻia hoʻo kato mo ho feleoko.

6 You shall be blessed when you come in, and you shall be blessed when you go out.

Te ke monūʻia koe ʻi hoʻo hū mai, pea monūʻia ʻi hoʻo ʻalu kituaʻā.

7 Yahweh will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you. They will come out against you one way, and will flee before you seven ways.

‌ʻE pule ʻE Sihova ke teʻia ʻi ho ʻao ʻa ho ngaahi fili ʻoku tuʻu hake kiate koe: tenau haʻu kiate koe ʻi he hala ʻe taha, pea hola meiate koe ʻi he hala ʻe fitu.

8 Yahweh will command the blessing on you in your barns, and in all that you put your hand to. He will bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.

‌ʻE fekau ʻe Sihova ʻene tāpuaki kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi fale faʻoʻanga koloa, pea ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻai ho nima ki ai; pea te ne tāpuaki koe ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

9 Yahweh will establish you for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and walk in his ways.

‌ʻE fokotuʻumaʻu koe ʻe Sihova ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fuakava kiate koe, ʻo kapau te ke tauhi ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala.

10 All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by Yahweh’s name, and they will be afraid of you.

Pea ʻe mamata ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani, kuo ui koe ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova; pea tenau manavahē kiate koe.

11 Yahweh will grant you abundant prosperity in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give you.

Pea ʻe ngaohi koe ʻe Sihova ke lahi hoʻo lelei, ʻi he ngaahi fua ʻo ho sino, pea ʻi he fua ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, pea ʻi he ngaahi fua ʻo ho fonua, ʻi he fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻa Sihova ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate koe.

12 Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow.

‌ʻE toʻo kiate koe ʻa Sihova ʻa ʻene koloa lelei, ʻae langi ke foaki mai ʻae ʻuha ki ho fonua ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu totonu, pea ke tāpuaki ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima: pea te ke nō atu koe ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke nō mai.

13 Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail. You will be above only, and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God which I command you today, to observe and to do,

Pea ʻe ngaohi koe ʻe Sihova ko e ʻulu, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e hiku; pea te ke māʻolunga pe ʻa koe, kae ʻikai te ke māʻulalo; ʻo kapau te ke tokanga ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ke tokanga ki ai ʻo fai:

14 and shall not turn away from any of the words which I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke afe mei ha lea ʻe taha ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pe ki he toʻohema, ke muimui ʻi ha ngaahi ʻotua kehe ke tauhi ʻakinautolu.

15 But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come on you and overtake you.

Kae hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻO kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tokanga ʻo fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau kotoa pē mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni; ʻe hoko ai ʻae ngaahi malaʻia ni kiate koe ʻo ne fetaʻomi kiate koe:

16 You will be cursed in the city, and you will be cursed in the field.

Te ke malaʻia koe ʻi he kolo, pea malaʻia koe ʻi he ngoue.

17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.

Te ke malaʻia koe ʻi hoʻo kato, pea ʻi ho feleoko.

18 The fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock will be cursed.

‌ʻE malaʻia ʻae fua ʻo ho sino, mo e fua ʻo ho fonua, mo e tupu ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, mo e fanga sipi.

19 You will be cursed when you come in, and you will be cursed when you go out.

‌ʻE malaʻia koe ʻi hoʻo hū mai, pea malaʻia koe ʻoka ke ka ʻalu kituaʻā.

20 Yahweh will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the evil of your doings, by which you have forsaken me.

‌ʻE fekau ʻe Sihova kiate koe ʻae malaʻia, mo e mamahi, mo e tautea, ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻai ho nima ki ai ke fai, ka ke ʻauha koe, pea ke mole ʻo ʻosi vave; ko e meʻa ʻi he kovi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, ʻaia kuo ke liʻaki ai au.

21 Yahweh will make the pestilence cling to you, until he has consumed you from off the land where you go in to possess it.

‌ʻE fakapikimaʻu kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha, ke ne fakaʻauha ai koe mei he funga ʻoe fonua, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu.

22 Yahweh will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with fiery heat, with the sword, with blight, and with mildew. They will pursue you until you perish.

‌ʻE taaʻi koe ʻe Sihova ʻaki ʻae fakaʻauʻausino, pea mo e mofi, pea mo e hangatāmaki, pea mo e vela lahi ʻaupito, pea mo e heletā, pea mo e mahunu, mo e popo; pea tenau tuli koe ke ke ʻauha ai.

23 Your sky that is over your head will be bronze, and the earth that is under you will be iron.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻae langi ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga ʻi ho ʻulu ko e palasa, pea ko e kelekele ʻoku ʻi lalo ʻiate koe ʻe hoko ko e ukamea.

24 Yahweh will make the rain of your land powder and dust. It will come down on you from the sky, until you are destroyed.

‌ʻE ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuha ʻo ho fonua ko e efu mo e efuefu: ʻe ʻalu hifo ia mei langi kiate koe ke ke ʻauha ai.

25 Yahweh will cause you to be struck before your enemies. You will go out one way against them, and will flee seven ways before them. You will be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.

‌ʻE pule ʻe Sihova ke taaʻi koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho ngaahi fili: ke ke ʻalu kituaʻā koe ʻi he hala ʻe taha kiate kinautolu, pea te ke hola ʻi he hala ʻe fitu mei honau ʻao: pea ʻe fetuku koe ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.

26 Your dead bodies will be food to all birds of the sky, and to the animals of the earth; and there will be no one to frighten them away.

Pea ʻe hoko ho ʻangaʻanga ko e meʻakai ia ki he fanga puna ʻoe ʻatā, pea ki he fanga manu ʻoe fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai fakaseʻeseʻe ʻakinautolu ʻe ha tokotaha.

27 Yahweh will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with the tumors, with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which you can not be healed.

Pea ʻe taaʻi koe ʻe Sihova ʻaki ʻae pala ʻo ʻIsipite, mo e mahaki kovi, mo e poku, mo e veli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakamoʻui koe mei ai.

28 Yahweh will strike you with madness, with blindness, and with astonishment of heart.

‌ʻE taaʻi ʻaki koe ʻe Sihova ʻae faha, mo e kui, mo e lilika ʻoe loto:

29 You will grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways. You will only be oppressed and robbed always, and there will be no one to save you.

Pea te ke tautaufā ʻi he hoʻatā, ʻo hangē ko e kui ʻoku tautaufā ʻi he poʻuli, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke monūʻia ʻi ho ngaahi hala: pea ʻe fakamoʻulaloa maʻuaipē koe mo maumauʻi ai pe, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui koe ʻe ha tokotaha:

30 You will betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. You will build a house, and you won’t dwell in it. You will plant a vineyard, and not use its fruit.

Te ke poloʻi ho uaifi pea ʻe mohe ia mo e tangata kehe: te ke langa ha fale, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke nofo ki ai: te ke tō ʻae ngoue vaine, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu hono ngaahi fua.

31 Your ox will be slain before your eyes, and you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be violently taken away from before your face, and will not be restored to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to save you.

‌ʻE tāmateʻi hoʻo pulu ʻi ho ʻao, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke kai ia: ʻe toʻo ʻo ʻave fakamālohi pe ʻa hoʻo ʻasi mei ho ʻao, pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻomi kiate koe: ʻe foaki ʻa hoʻo fanga sipi ki ho ngaahi fili, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻiate koe ha tokotaha ke toe maʻu mai ia.

32 Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people. Your eyes will look and fail with longing for them all day long. There will be no power in your hand.

Ko ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine ʻe foaki ki he kakai kehe, pea ʻe fakasio ho mata, pea mole ʻi he holi kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa: pea ʻe ʻikai ha mafai ʻi ho nima.

33 A nation which you don’t know will eat the fruit of your ground and all of your work. You will only be oppressed and crushed always,

Ko e fua ʻo ho fonua, mo hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē, ʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ia ʻe ha puleʻanga ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻiloa; pea ʻe fakamoʻulaloaʻi koe mo taʻomia maʻuaipē.

34 so that the sights that you see with your eyes will drive you mad.

Ko ia te ke faha ai ʻi he mamata ʻe ho mata ʻaia te ke mamata ki ai.

35 Yahweh will strike you in the knees and in the legs with a sore boil, of which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.

‌ʻE taaʻi koe ʻe Sihova ʻi ho tui, pea ʻi ho vaʻe, ʻaki ʻae pala ʻaia ʻe ʻikai faʻa fakamoʻui, mei ho ʻaofi vaʻe ʻo aʻu ki ho tumuʻaki.

36 Yahweh will bring you, and your king whom you will set over yourselves, to a nation that you have not known, you nor your fathers. There you will serve other gods of wood and stone.

‌ʻE ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova mo e tuʻi ʻaia te ke fakanofo ke pule kiate koe, ki he puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻe koe, pe ko hoʻo ngaahi tamai; pea te ke tauhi ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ko e ʻakau mo e maka.

37 You will become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword among all the peoples where Yahweh will lead you away.

Pea te ke hoko koe ko e ofoʻanga, mo e lauʻikoviʻanga, mo e lumaʻanga, ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻaia ʻe tataki koe ki ai ʻe Sihova.

38 You will carry much seed out into the field, and will gather little in, for the locust will consume it.

Te ke fetuku ʻae tenga lahi ki he ngoue, ka ke ʻomi ʻae meʻa siʻi mei ai; koeʻuhi ʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ia ʻe he heʻe.

39 You will plant vineyards and dress them, but you will neither drink of the wine, nor harvest, because worms will eat them.

Te ke tō ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine, pea ʻauhani ia, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke inu hono uaine, pe tānaki hono fua, koeʻuhi ʻe kai ia ʻe he ʻunufe.

40 You will have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you won’t anoint yourself with the oil, for your olives will drop off.

Te ke maʻu ʻae ʻakau ko e ʻolive ʻi he ngaahi potu fonua kotoa pē, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke pani ʻaki koe ʻae lolo; koeʻuhi ʻe lī hono fua ʻe hoʻo ʻolive.

41 You will father sons and daughters, but they will not be yours, for they will go into captivity.

‌ʻE tupu ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu ha fiemālie ʻiate kinautolu; he tenau ʻalu ʻo nofo pōpula.

42 Locusts will consume all of your trees and the fruit of your ground.

Ko ho ngaahi ʻakau kotoa pē mo e fua ʻo ho fonua ʻe fakaʻosi ia ʻe he heʻe.

43 The foreigner who is among you will mount up above you higher and higher, and you will come down lower and lower.

Ko e muli ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻe hiki māʻolunga lahi ʻiate koe; pea ʻe fakahifo koe ke māʻulalo ʻaupito.

44 He will lend to you, and you won’t lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.

‌ʻE nō atu ʻe ia kiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke nō kiate ia: ʻe hoko ko e ʻulu ia pea ko e hiku koe.

45 All these curses will come on you, and will pursue you and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you didn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you.

Pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi malaʻia ni ʻe hoko kiate koe, tenau tuli koe, pea maʻu koe, kaeʻoua ke ʻauha koe; ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia naʻa ne fekauʻi koe:

46 They will be for a sign and for a wonder to you and to your offspring forever.

Pea tenau ʻiate koe, ko e fakaʻilonga, mo e meʻa fakaofo, pea ki ho hako ʻo taʻengata.

47 Because you didn’t serve Yahweh your God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things;

Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke tauhi ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he angatonu mo e fiefia ʻoe loto, koeʻuhi ko e mahu meʻa lelei kotoa pē;

48 therefore you will serve your enemies whom Yahweh sends against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in lack of all things. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.

Ko ia te ke tauhi ai ʻa ho ngaahi fili ʻaia ʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ke tuʻu hake kiate koe, ʻi he fiekaia, mo e fieinu, pea ʻi he telefua, pea ʻi he masiva ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē: pea te ne ʻai ʻae haʻamonga ukamea ki ho kia, koeʻuhi ke ne fakaʻauha koe.

49 Yahweh will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies: a nation whose language you will not understand,

‌ʻE ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae puleʻanga kiate koe mei he mamaʻo, mei he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻo hangē ko e puna ʻae ʻikale; ʻae puleʻanga ko e lea ʻanautolu ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻiloʻi;

50 a nation of fierce facial expressions, that doesn’t respect the elderly, nor show favor to the young.

Ko e puleʻanga ʻoku mata mālohi, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai tenau tokanga ki he sino ʻoe motuʻa, pe fakahā ha ʻofa ki he talavou:

51 They will eat the fruit of your livestock and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed. They also won’t leave you grain, new wine, oil, the increase of your livestock, or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.

Pea ʻe kai ʻe ia hono tupu ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lahi, mo e fua ʻo ho fonua, ke ʻoua ke ke ʻauha koe: ʻaia foki ʻe ʻikai tenau tuku kiate koe ha uite, pe ha uaine, pe ha lolo, pe ko e tupu ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, pe ha fanga sipi, kaeʻoua ke ne fakaʻauha koe.

52 They will besiege you in all your gates until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout all your land. They will besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land which Yahweh your God has given you.

Pea te ne tauʻi koe ʻi ho ngaahi matapā kotoa pē, ke holoki hifo ʻa ho ngaahi ā māʻolunga mo tali tau, ʻaia ʻoku ke falala ki ai, ʻi ho fonua kotoa pē: pea te ne tauʻi koe ʻi he ngaahi matapā kotoa pē ʻi he potu fonua kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

53 You will eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, whom Yahweh your God has given you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies will distress you.

Pea te ke kai ʻae fua ʻo ho sino ʻoʻou, ko e kakano ʻo ho ngaahi foha pea mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻaia kuo foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e meʻa ʻi he tau, pea ʻi he kāpui koe ʻe hoʻo ngaahi fili ʻaia tenau fakamamahiʻi ai koe.

54 The man who is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye will be evil toward his brother, toward the wife whom he loves, and toward the remnant of his children whom he has remaining,

Ko e tangata ʻiate kimoutolu ʻaia ʻoku vaivai pea mamahi ngofua, ʻe kovi hono mata ki hono tokoua, pea ki he uaifi ʻo hono fatafata, pea ki hono toe ʻo ʻene fānau ʻaia ʻe liʻaki:

55 so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he will eat, because he has nothing left to him, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy will distress you in all your gates.

Ko ia ʻe ʻikai ʻatu ai ʻe ia ki ha tokotaha ha konga siʻi ʻoe kakano ʻo ʻene fānau ʻaia ʻoku ne kai: koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku toe kiate ia ʻi he tau, mo e fakahonge, ʻaia ʻe fakamamahi ʻaki koe ʻe ho ngaahi fili ʻi ho ngaahi matapā.

56 The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye will be evil toward the husband that she loves, toward her son, toward her daughter,

Ko e fefine vaivai mo mamahi ngofua ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai meimei tuku hono ʻaofivaʻe ki he kelekele koeʻuhi ko e vaivai mo e mamahi ngofua, ʻe kovi hono mata ki he husepāniti ʻo hono fatafata, pea ki heʻene tama, pea ki heʻene taʻahine,

57 toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her children whom she bears; for she will eat them secretly for lack of all things in the siege and in the distress with which your enemy will distress you in your gates.

Pea ki he tamasiʻi ʻoku haʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo hono vaʻe, pea ki heʻene fānau te ne fanauʻi: he te ne kai fakafufū ia ʻi heʻene masiva ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he tau mo e fakahonge, ʻaia ʻe fakamamahi ʻaki koe, ʻe ho fili ʻi ho ngaahi matapā.

58 If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, YAHWEH your God,

Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke tokanga ke fai ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ni, koeʻuhi ke ke manavahē ki he huafa nāunauʻia mo fakamanavahē ni, KO SIHOVA KO HO ʻOTUA;

59 then Yahweh will make your plagues and the plagues of your offspring fearful, even great plagues, and of long duration, and severe sicknesses, and of long duration.

Pehē ʻe toki ngaohi ʻe Sihova hoʻo ngaahi tautea ke fakamanavahē, pea mo e tautea ki ho hako, ʻio, ko e tautea lahi, ʻo fuoloa, mo e ngaahi mahaki lahi, pea fai fuoloa.

60 He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which you were afraid of; and they will cling to you.

Kaeʻumaʻā foki ʻa ʻene ʻomi kiate koe ʻae ngaahi mahaki ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa ke manavahē ai; pea tenau piki mau kiate koe.

61 Also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the book of this law, Yahweh will bring them on you until you are destroyed.

Pea mo e ngaahi mahaki kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi tautea kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ni, ʻe ʻomi ia ʻe Sihova kiate koe, kaeʻoua ke ke ʻauha koe.

62 You will be left few in number, even though you were as the stars of the sky for multitude, because you didn’t listen to Yahweh your God’s voice.

Pea ʻe tuku ʻakimoutolu ke mou toe tokosiʻi pe, ka naʻa mou tatau mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi ʻi hono tokolahi: ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke fai talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

63 It will happen that as Yahweh rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Yahweh will rejoice over you to cause you to perish and to destroy you. You will be plucked from the land that you are going in to possess.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hangē naʻe fiefia ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu ke fai lelei kiate kimoutolu, pea ke fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu: ʻe pehē, ʻe fiefia ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu ke fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu, pea ke fakaʻosi ʻakimoutolu; pea ʻe hamusi ʻakimoutolu, mei he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu ia.

64 Yahweh will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth. There you will serve other gods which you have not known, you nor your fathers, even wood and stone.

Pea ʻe fakahēʻi koe ʻe Sihova ki he kakai kotoa pē, mei he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo māmani ʻo aʻu atu ki hono ngataʻanga ʻe taha; pea te ke tauhi ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻe koe, pe ko hoʻo ngaahi tamai, ʻio ʻae ʻakau mo e maka.

65 Among these nations you will find no ease, and there will be no rest for the sole of your foot; but Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and pining of soul.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae fiemālie ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ha mālōlō ki ho ʻaofivaʻe: ka ʻe tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻae loto tetetete ʻi ai, mo e vaivai ʻoe mata, mo e mamahi ʻoe loto:

66 Your life will hang in doubt before you. You will be afraid night and day, and will have no assurance of your life.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo pe te ke moʻui pe te ke mate; pea te ke mamahi ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu fakamoʻoni ki hoʻo moʻui:

67 In the morning you will say, “I wish it were evening!” and at evening you will say, “I wish it were morning!” for the fear of your heart which you will fear, and for the sights which your eyes will see.

Te ke pehē ʻi he pongipongi, ʻAmusiaange kuo efiafi! pea ʻi he efiafi te ke pehē, ʻAmusiaange kuo pongipongi! Ko e meʻa ʻi he manavahē ʻo ho loto, ʻaia te ke manavahē ai, pea ʻi he mamata ʻe ho mata ʻaia te ke mamata ki ai.

68 Yahweh will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I told you that you would never see it again. There you will offer yourselves to your enemies for male and female slaves, and nobody will buy you.

Pea ʻe toe ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsipite ʻi he ngaahi vaka, ʻi he hala ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai kiate koe, ʻE ʻikai te ke toe mamata ki ai: pea ʻe fakatau ʻakimoutolu ʻi ai ki homou ngaahi fili ko e kau tangata pōpula mo e kau fefine pōpula; pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne fie fakatau [ʻakimoutolu].”
