Jeremiah 33
1 Moreover Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying,
Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ko hono liunga ua, ʻi heʻene kei nofo ʻi he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula, ʻo pehē,
2 “Yahweh who does it, Yahweh who forms it to establish it—Yahweh is his name, says:
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu ia, ko Sihova ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ia, ke fokotuʻumaʻu ia; ko Sihova hono huafa;
3 ‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’
‘Ui kiate au, pea te u talia koe, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, mo e ngaahi meʻa fufū, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻiloʻi.’
4 For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against the sword:
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he ngaahi fale ʻoe kolo ni, pea ki he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻaia kuo lī ki lalo ʻi he ngaahi puke māʻolunga, pea mo e heletā;
5 ‘While men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city,
Naʻa nau haʻu ke tau mo e kau Kalitia, ka ko e meʻa ke fakapito ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻoe kakai, ʻakinautolu kuo u tāmateʻi ʻi heʻeku tuputāmaki mo hoku houhau, mo kinautolu kotoa pē kuo u fakafufū ai hoku fofonga mei he kolo ni koeʻuhi ko ʻenau angahala.
6 behold, I will bring it health and healing, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
‘Vakai, te u ʻomi kiate ia ʻae moʻui, pea mo e faitoʻo ʻaonga, pea te u fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu, pea te u fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae fiemālie mo e moʻoni lahi.
7 I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and will build them as at the first.
Pea te u liliu ʻae pōpula ʻo Siuta, mo e pōpula ʻo ʻIsileli, pea te u langa ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa.
8 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me. I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me and by which they have transgressed against me.
Pea te u fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi hia kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau angahala ʻaki kiate au; pea te u fakamolemole ʻenau ngaahi hia kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau angahala aki, mo fai kovi ai kiate au.
9 This city will be to me for a name of joy, for praise, and for glory, before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do to them, and will fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I provide to it.’”
Pea ʻe ʻiate au ia ko e hingoa ʻoe fiefia, pea ko e ongoongolelei mo e nāunau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻakinautolu ʻe fanongo ki he lelei kotoa pē ʻaia te u fai kiate kinautolu: pea te nau manavahē mo tetetete koeʻuhi ko e lelei kotoa pē pea mo e monūʻia ʻaia te u ʻomi kiate kinautolu.’”
10 Yahweh says: “Yet again there will be heard in this place, about which you say, ‘It is waste, without man and without animal, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,’
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “ʻE toe ongoʻi ʻi he potu ni, ʻaia ʻoku mou pehē ʻe lala ia pea taʻehatangata pe ha manu, ‘ʻIo, ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea mo e ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema, ʻaia ʻoku lala ʻo taʻehatangata, pea taʻehakakai, pe ha manu,’
11 the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, ‘Give thanks to Yahweh of Armies, for Yahweh is good, for his loving kindness endures forever;’ who bring thanksgiving into Yahweh’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed as at the first,” says Yahweh.
ʻE ʻi ai ʻae leʻo ʻoe fiefia, pea mo e leʻo ʻoe nekeneka, ko e leʻo ʻoe tangata taʻane, pea mo e leʻo ʻoe taʻahine, pea mo e leʻo ʻokinautolu ʻoku pehē, ‘Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: he ʻoku angalelei ʻa Sihova; ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻene ʻaloʻofa:’ pea mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻomi ʻae feilaulau ʻoe fakafetaʻi ki he fale ʻo Sihova. He te u pule ke liliu mai ʻae pōpula ʻoe fonua, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he kamataʻanga,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
12 Yahweh of Armies says: “Yet again there will be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: “Ko e potu eni ʻaia ʻoku lala, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha tangata pe ha manu, pea ko hono ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, ʻe toe hoko ia ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe kau tauhi sipi pea te nau tauhi ʻi ai ʻae fanga sipi.
13 In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of him who counts them,” says Yahweh.
Pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi potu tokalelei, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻi he feituʻu tonga, pea ʻi he fonua ʻo Penisimani, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻoku ofi ki Selūsalema, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, ʻe toe ʻalu ʻae fanga sipi ʻi he lalo nima ʻo ia ʻoku ne lau ʻakinautolu,” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova.
14 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
ʻOka pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, te u fakahoko ai ʻae meʻa lelei ʻaia naʻaku tala ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e fale ʻo Siuta.
15 “In those days and at that time, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David. He will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea mo e kuonga ko ia, te u fakatupu kia Tevita ʻae vaʻa ʻoe māʻoniʻoni; pea te ne fai ʻae fakamaau mo e angatonu ʻi he fonua.
16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. This is the name by which she will be called: Yahweh our righteousness.”
ʻE fakamoʻui ʻa Siuta ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea ʻe nofo fiemālie ʻa Selūsalema: pea ko e [huafa ]eni ʻe ui ʻaki ia, ‘Ko Sihova ko hotau māʻoniʻoni.’
17 For Yahweh says: “David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel.
“He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito masiva ʻa Tevita ʻi he tangata ke nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli;
18 The Levitical priests won’t lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.”
Pea ʻe ʻikai masiva ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ko e kau Livai ʻi ha tangata ʻi hoku ʻao ke ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu, pea ke tutu ʻae feilaulau kai, pea ke fai ʻae feilaulau maʻuaipē.”
19 Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
20 “Yahweh says: ‘If you can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night, so that there will not be day and night in their time,
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; ‘Kapau te mou faʻa maumauʻi ʻeku fuakava ki he ʻaho, pea mo ʻeku fuakava ki he pō, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hoko fakaholoholo ʻae ʻaho mo e pō;
21 then my covenant could also be broken with David my servant, that he won’t have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levitical priests, my ministers.
Pea tā ʻe toki maumauʻi foki ʻeku fuakava mo Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa maʻu ʻe ia ʻae foha ke pule ʻi hono puleʻanga; pea mo e kau Livai ko e kau taulaʻeiki, ʻoku nau tauhi kiate au.
22 As the army of the sky can’t be counted, and the sand of the sea can’t be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’”
ʻO hangē ʻoku ʻikai faʻa lau ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi, pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fuofua ʻae ʻoneʻone ʻi he matātahi: Te u fakatupu pehē ʻae hako ʻo Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, pea mo e kau Livai ʻoku tauhi kiate au.’”
23 Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
Pea naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
24 “Don’t consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘Has Yahweh cast off the two families which he chose?’ Thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.”
“ʻIkai te ke tokanga ki he lea kuo lea ʻaki ʻe he kakai ni, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e faʻahinga ʻe ua ʻaia naʻe fili ʻe Sihova, kuo ne liʻaki ʻakinautolu,’ pea kuo nau manuki ki hoku kakai, ʻo hangē ʻe ʻikai te nau toe hoko ko e puleʻanga ʻi honau ʻao.”
25 Yahweh says: “If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth,
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ʻi heʻeku fuakava ʻae ʻaho mo e pō, pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai te u tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ngaahi fono ʻoe langi mo māmani;
26 then I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”
Pea tā te u toki liʻaki ʻae hako ʻo Sēkope, pea mo Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, pea ʻe ʻikai te u fili ha niʻihi ʻi hono hako ke pule ki he hako ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope: he te u pule ke liliu ʻenau pōpula, pea te u ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu.”
