Jeremiah 5
1 Cumpasse ye the weies of Jerusalem, and loke, and biholde ye, and seke ye in the stretis therof, whether ye fynden a man doynge doom, and sekynge feith; and Y schal be merciful to hem.
“Mou felele aki ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema, pea mamata, mo ʻilo, pea kumi ʻi hono ngaahi potu laulahi, kapau te mou faʻa ʻiloʻi ha tangata, pea kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha taha ʻoku fakamaau totonu, ʻaia ʻoku kumi ki he moʻoni pea te u fakamolemole ia.
2 That if also thei seien, The Lord lyueth, yhe, thei schulen swere this falsli.
Pea kapau ʻoku nau pehē, ‘ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova;’ ko e moʻoni ʻoku nau fuakava kākā pe.
3 Lord, thin iyen biholden feith; thou hast smyte hem, and thei maden not sorewe; thou hast al tobroke hem, and thei forsoken to take chastisyng; thei maden her faces hardere than a stoon, and nolden turne ayen.
ʻE Sihova, ʻikai ʻoku hanga ki he moʻoni ʻa ho fofonga? Kuo ke taaʻi ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mamahi; kuo ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga ki he tautea: kuo nau fakafefeka hake honau mata ʻi ha maka; ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie tafoki.
4 Forsothe Y seide, In hap thei ben pore men, and foolis, that knowen not the weie of the Lord, and the doom of her God.
Ko ia naʻaku pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku nau masiva: ʻoku nau vale: he ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fakamaau ʻa honau ʻOtua.
5 Therfor Y schal go to the principal men, and Y schal speke to hem; for thei knewen the weie of the Lord, and the doom of her God. And lo! thei han more broke togidere the yok, and han broke boondis.
Te u ʻalu ki he kau tangata poto, pea te u lea kiate kinautolu; he kuo nau ʻilo ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea mo e fakamaau ʻa honau ʻOtua;” ka ko kinautolu ni kuo nau maumauʻi ʻaupito ʻae haʻamonga, pea motuhi ʻae ngaahi haʻi.
6 Therfor a lioun of the wode smoot hem; a wolf at euentid wastide hem, a parde wakynge on the citees of hem. Ech man that goith out of hem, schal be takun; for the trespassyngis of hem ben multiplied, the turnyngis awei of hem ben coumfortid.
Ko ia ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he laione mei he vao, pea ʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ulofi ʻoe efiafi, pea ʻe leʻo ki honau ngaahi kolo ʻe he lēpati: ko ia kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu atu ʻi ai ʻe haehae ke iiki; koeʻuhi ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala ʻoku lahi, pea ʻoku tupu ʻenau ngaahi fakaholomui.
7 On what thing mai Y be merciful to thee? Thi sones han forsake me, and sweren bi hem that ben not goddis. Y fillide hem, and thei diden auowtrie, and in the hous of an hoore thei diden letcherie.
“ʻE fēfē ʻeku fakamolemole koe koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni? Kuo liʻaki au ʻe hoʻo fānau, pea fuakava ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ko e ngaahi ʻotua: hili ʻeku fafanga ʻakinautolu ke mākona, naʻa nau fai angahala, pea nau fakataha ʻo tokolahi ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe kau faʻa feʻauaki.
8 Thei ben maad horsis, and stalouns, louyeris to wymmen; ech man neiyede to the wijf of his neiybore.
Pea naʻa nau hangē ko e fanga hoosi tau kuo fafanga ʻi he pongipongi: pea naʻa nau taki taha holi ki he uaifi ʻo hono kaungāʻapi.”
9 Whether Y schal not visite on these thingis, seith the Lord, and schal not my soule take veniaunce in siche a folk?
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻIkai te u tautea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ʻikai ʻe totongi ʻe hoku laumālie ki he puleʻanga pehē?
10 Stye ye on the wallis therof, and distrie ye; but nyle ye make an endyng. Do ye awei the siouns therof, for thei ben not seruauntis of the Lord.
“Mou ʻalu hake ki hono ngaahi ʻā, pea fakaʻauha; kaeʻoua naʻa fakaʻosi ʻaupito; ʻave ʻa hono ngaahi vaʻa; he ʻoku ʻikai ʻo Sihova ʻakinautolu.”
11 For whi the hous of Israel and the hous of Juda hath trespassid bi trespassyng ayens me, seith the Lord;
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kuo fai kākā ʻaupito kiate au ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e fale ʻo Siuta.”
12 thei denyeden the Lord, and seiden, He is not, nether yuel schal come on vs; we schulen not se swerd and hungur.
Kuo nau fakafisingaʻi ʻa Sihova, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ko ia ia; ʻe ʻikai hoko ha kovi kiate kitautolu pea ʻe ʻikai te tau mamata ki he heletā pe ha honge.
13 The profetis spaken ayens the wynd, and noon answer was in hem; therfor these thingis schulen come to hem.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻae kau palōfita ʻo hangē ko e matangi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ha lea: ʻe hoko ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu.”
14 The Lord God of oostis seith these thingis, For ye spaken this word, lo! Y yyue my wordis in thi mouth in to fier, and this puple in to trees, and it schal deuoure hem.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Koeʻuhi kuo mou lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni, vakai, te u ngaohi ʻeku ngaahi lea ke hangē ko e afi ʻi ho ngutu, pea ko e kakai ni ke hangē ko e ʻakau, pea te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.”
15 Lo! thou hous of Israel, seith the Lord, Y schal brynge on you a folk fro fer; a strong folk, an eeld folk, `a folk whos langage thou schalt not knowe, nether schalt vndurstonde what it spekith.
Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, Te u ʻomi ha kakai mei he mamaʻo kiate kimoutolu, ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e kakai mālohi, ko e kakai muʻa pe, ko e kakai ʻe ʻikai te ke poto ʻi heʻenau lea, pe ʻiloʻi ʻaia ʻoku nau lea ʻaki.
16 The arowe caas therof is as an opyn sepulcre; alle ben stronge men.
ʻOku tatau honau hōfangahau mo e fonualoto kuo matangaki, ko e kau tangata mālohi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
17 And it schal ete thi cornes, and it schal deuoure thi breed, thi sones and thi douytris; it schal ete thi flok, and thi droues, it schal ete also thi vyner, and thi fige tre; and it schal al to-breke thi stronge citees bi swerd, in whiche thou hast trist.
Pea te nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻa homou taʻu, pea mo hoʻomou mā, ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke kai ʻe ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine: te nau kai ke ʻosi hoʻo fanga sipi mo hoʻo fanga manu: te nau kai ke ʻosi hoʻo ngaahi vaine mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e fiki: te nau fakamasiva ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻa ho ngaahi kolo mālohi, ʻaia naʻa ke falala ki ai.”
18 Netheles in tho daies, seith the Lord, Y schal not make you in to endyng.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ka ʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻosi ʻaupito ʻakimoutolu, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
19 That if ye seien, Whi hath oure Lord God do alle these thingis to vs? thou schalt seie to hem, As ye forsoken me, and serueden an alien god in youre lond, so ye schulen serue alien goddis in a lond not youre.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka mou ka pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku fai ai ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kitautolu?’ Pea te ke toki lea pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻO hangē kuo mou liʻaki au, pea tauhi ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻo homou fonua, ʻe pehē hoʻomou tauhi ki he kakai muli ʻi he fonua ʻoku ʻikai ʻomoutolu.’
20 Telle ye this to the hous of Jacob, and make ye herd in Juda, and seie ye,
“Fakahā ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he fale ʻo Sēkope, pea fakahā ia ʻia Siuta, ʻo pehē,
21 Here, thou fonned puple, that hast noon herte; whiche han iyen, and seen not, and eeris, and heren not.
‘Fanongo, ki he meʻa ni, ʻae kakai vale, pea taʻeloto; ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mata, ka ʻoku ʻikai mamata; ʻakimoutolu ʻoku telinga ka ʻoku ʻikai ongoʻi.’
22 Therfor schulen not ye drede me, seith the Lord, and schulen not ye make sorewe for my face? Whiche haue set grauel a terme, ether ende, to the see, an euerlastynge comaundement, whiche it schal not passe; and the wawis therof schulen be mouyd, and schulen not haue power; and schulen wexe greet, and schulen not passe it.
ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻIkai te mou manavahē kiate au? ʻE ʻikai te mou tetetete ʻi hoku ʻao? Kuo u ʻai ʻae ʻoneʻone ko e fakangatangata ʻoe tahi ʻi he fono taʻengata, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa laka ai; kapau ʻe hake hono ngaahi peau, ʻe ʻikai te nau mālohi; kapau te nau ʻuʻulu, ka ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa laka ai.’
23 Forsothe an herte vnbileueful and terrynge to wraththe is maad to this puple; thei departiden,
“Ka ʻoku maʻu ʻe he kakai ni ʻae loto tafoki mo angatuʻu; kuo nau tafoki pea ʻalu.
24 and yeden awei, and thei seiden not in her herte, Drede we oure Lord God, that yiueth to vs reyn tymeful, and lateful in his tyme; that kepith to vs the plente of heruest of the yeer.
Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau pehē ʻi honau loto, ‘Ko eni, ke tau manavahē kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki kiate kitautolu ʻae ʻuha muʻa mo e ʻuha mui, ʻi hono ʻaho totonu: pea kuo ne tauhi maʻatautolu ʻae ngaahi uike tuʻutuʻuni ki he ututaʻu.’
25 Youre wickidnessis diden awei these thingis, and youre synnes forbediden good fro you.
“Kuo fakaafe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni meiate kimoutolu ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi angahala, pea kuo taʻofi ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei meiate kimoutolu ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi hia.
26 For ther ben foundun in my puple wickid men, settynge tresoun, as fouleres settynge snaris and trappis, to take men.
He ʻoku ai ʻae kau angakovi ʻi hoku kakai: ʻoku nau toitoi, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku tautau ʻae ngaahi hele; ʻoku nau ʻai ʻae tauhele, ke nau moʻua ai ʻae kau tangata.
27 As a net, ether a trap, ful of briddis, so the housis of hem ben ful of gile. Therfor thei ben magnefied,
Pea ʻoku pito honau ngaahi fale ʻi he kākā, ʻo hangē ʻoku pito ʻae finaki ʻi he ngaahi manupuna: ko ia kuo nau hoko ai ke lahi, pea maʻu meʻa.
28 and maad riche, maad fat with ynne, and maad fat with outforth, and thei passiden worst my wordis; thei demyden not a cause of a widewe, thei dressiden not the cause of a fadirles child, and thei demyden not the doom of pore men.
Kuo nau hoko ke sino, pea ngingila; ʻio, kuo nau kovi lahi hake ʻi he kau angahala: ʻoku ʻikai te nau fakamaau ʻae meʻa, ko e meʻa ʻae tamai mate; pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau fakamaau ʻae meʻa totonu ʻae masiva, ka ʻoku nau monūʻia.”
29 Whether Y schal not visite on these thingis, seith the Lord, ether schal not my soule take veniaunce on sich a folk?
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “ʻIkai te u tautea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni?”
30 Wondur and merueilouse thingis ben maad in the lond;
Kuo fai ha meʻa fakaofo mo fakailifia ʻi he fonua.
31 profetis profesieden leesyng, and prestis ioieden with her hondis, and my puple louyde siche thingis. What therfor schal be don in the laste thing therof?
ʻOku kikite kākā ʻae kau palōfita, pea ʻoku kau taha mo kinautolu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki; pea ʻoku loto ʻa hoku kakai ke pehē pe ia: pea ko e hā te mou fai ʻi hono ikuʻanga?
