Ezekiel 34

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

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

2 'Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them: To the shepherds, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! The flock do not the shepherds feed?

“Foha ʻoe tangata, kikite ki he kau tauhi ʻo ʻIsileli, kikite, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ki he ngaahi tauhi; Malaʻia ki he kau tauhi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku nau fafanga pe ʻakinautolu! ʻIkai ʻoku totonu ke fafanga ʻe he tauhi ʻa ʻene fanga sipi?

3 The fat ye do eat, and the wool ye put on, The fed one ye slaughter, the flock ye feed not.

‌ʻOku kai ʻekimoutolu ʻae ngako, pea ʻoku mou kofuʻaki ʻae fulufuluʻi sipi, ʻoku mou tāmateʻi ia ʻaia ʻoku sino, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou fafanga ʻae fanga sipi.

4 The weak ye have not strengthened, And the sick one ye have not healed, And the broken ye have not bound up, And the driven away have not brought back, And the lost ye have not sought, And with might ye have ruled them and with rigour.

Naʻe ʻikai te mou fakamālohi ʻae vaivai, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou faitoʻo ki he mahaki, pe te mou nonoʻo ʻaia naʻe mafesi, pe te mou toe kumi mai ʻaia naʻe fakahēʻi, pe te mou kumi ʻaia naʻe mole, ka kuo mou pule mālohi mo fai fakamamahi ki ai.

5 And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Yea, they are scattered.

Pea naʻe fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻikai ha tauhi: pea naʻa nau hoko ko e meʻakai ki he fanga manu fekai kotoa pē ʻoe vao, ʻi heʻenau movetevete.

6 Go astray do My flock on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And on all the face of the land have My flock been scattered, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.

Naʻe ʻalu hēhē pe ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga kotoa pē: ʻio, naʻe fakahēʻi ʻeku fanga sipi ki he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai hakule pe kumi ki ai ha taha.

7 Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:

“Ko ia, ʻE kau tauhi, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.

8 I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Yea, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds do feed themselves, And My flock they have not fed.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko au ʻoku ou moʻui, pea ko e moʻoni, koeʻuhi kuo hoko ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi ko e fakamālohia, pea kuo hoko ia ko e meʻakai ki he fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ha tauhi, pea naʻe ʻikai kumi ʻe heʻeku kau tauhi ki heʻeku fanga sipi, pea naʻe kai pe ʻe heʻeku kau tauhi, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fafanga ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi;

9 Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah:

Ko ia, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau tauhi, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova;

10 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And no more do the shepherds feed themselves, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not to them for food.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu au ki he kau tauhi pea te u ʻeke ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi mei honau nima pea te u fekau ke tuku ʻenau fafanga ʻae fanga sipi: pea ʻe ʻikai toe kai ʻe he kau tauhi ʻiate kinautolu; he te u fakamoʻui ʻeku fanga sipi mei honau ngutu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau kei meʻakai ʻaki ʻakinautolu.

11 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I — even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.

“He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai ko au, ʻio, ko au, te u hakule ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, mo kumi ki ai.

12 As a shepherd's searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I do seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, Whither they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.

‌ʻO hangē ko e kumi ʻe he tauhi ʻa ʻene fanga sipi, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku ne ʻalu atu ai ki he fanga sipi kuo movetevete; ʻe pehē ʻa ʻeku kumi mai ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, mo ʻeku fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he potu kotoa pē kuo nau hē ki ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻalotāmaki mo fakapoʻupoʻuli.

13 And brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them unto their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.

Pea te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he kakai, mo tānaki ʻakinautolu mei he ngaahi fonua, pea ʻe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau fonua ʻonautolu, pea ʻe fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he veʻe vaitafe, pea mo e ngaahi potu kakai ʻoe fonua.

14 With good pasture I do feed them, And on mountains of the high place of Israel is their habitation, There do they lie down in a good habitation, And fat pastures they enjoy on mountains of Israel.

Te u fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu lau maʻuiʻui, pea ʻe ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻa honau lotoʻā: te nau tokoto ai ʻi he lotoʻā lelei, pea te nau kai ʻi he potu lau maʻuiʻui ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli.

15 I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

Te u fafanga ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, pea te u fakatokoto ʻakinautolu ki lalo, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

16 The lost I seek, and the driven away bring back, And the broken I bind up, and the sick I strengthen, And the fat and the strong I destroy, I feed it with judgment.

Te u kumi kiate ia naʻe mole, pea te u toe ʻomi ʻaia naʻe fakahēʻi atu, te u nonoʻo ʻaia naʻe mafesi, pea te u fakamālohi ʻaia naʻe vaivai: pea te u tāmateʻi ʻaia ʻoku sino mo mālohi; te u fafanga ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae tautea.

17 And you, My flock, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and he-goats.

Pea koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai te u fili vakavakai ki he manu mo e manu, ki he fanga sipitangata, mo e fanga kosi tangata.

18 Is it a little thing for you — the good pasture ye enjoy, And the remnant of your pasture ye tread down with your feet, And a depth of waters ye do drink, And the remainder with your feet ye trample,

Ko e meʻa siʻi koā ia kiate kimoutolu ke mou kai ke ʻosi ʻae potu lau maʻuiʻui, pea mou toe malaki hifo ai ʻi homou lalo vaʻe ʻa hono toe ʻoe potu ʻoku fafanga ai kimoutolu? Pea kuo mou inu mei he ngaahi vai loloto, ka ko hono toe kuo mou fakaʻuliʻi ʻaki homou vaʻe?

19 And My flock the trodden thing of your feet consumeth, And the trampled thing of your feet drinketh?

Pea ko ʻeku fanga sipi, ʻoku kai ʻekinautolu mei he meʻa kuo mou malaki ʻaki homou vaʻe; pea ʻoku nau inu mei he meʻa kuo fakaʻuliʻi ʻaki homou vaʻe.

20 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah to them: Lo, I — even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep.

“Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua kiate kinautolu; Vakai, ko au, ʻio, ko au, te u fili vakavakai ki he manu ʻoku sino mo e manu ʻoku tutue.

21 Because with side and with shoulder ye thrust away, And with your horns push all the diseased, Till ye have scattered them to the out-place,

Koeʻuhi kuo mou fetuotuai pea kuo mou feteketekeʻi ʻae kau vaivai ʻaki homou nifo pea ko ia kuo nau hē ai ke mamaʻo;

22 And I have given safety to My flock, And they are not any more for prey, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.

Ko ia ia te u fakamoʻui ai ʻeku fanga sipi, pea ʻe ʻikai toe tulia ʻakinautolu; pea te u fili vakavakai ki he manu mo e manu.

23 And have raised up over them one shepherd, And he hath fed them — my servant David, He doth feed them, and he is their shepherd,

Pea te u fokotuʻu ha tauhi pe taha kiate kinautolu, pea te ne fafanga kinautolu, ʻio, ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita: ko ia ia te ne fafanga ʻakinautolu, pea ko ia ia te ne tauhi kiate kinautolu.

24 And I, Jehovah, I am their God, And My servant David prince in their midst, I, Jehovah, have spoken.

Pea ko au Sihova, te u hoko ko honau ʻOtua; pea ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko e ʻeiki ʻiate kinautolu; ko au Sihova, kuo u lea ki ai.

25 And I have made for them a covenant of peace, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt in a wilderness confidently, And they have slept in forests.

Pea te nau fai mo au ʻae fuakava ke melino, pea te u fakaʻosi ʻae fanga manu fekai mei he fonua; pea te nau nofo lelei pe ʻi he toafa, pea nau mohe ʻi he ngaahi vao.

26 And I have given them, and the suburbs of my hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, Showers of blessing they are.

Pea te u ngaohi ʻakinautolu pea mo e ngaahi potu ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻi hoku moʻunga, ko e monūʻiaʻanga; pea te u fakatō hifo ʻae ʻuha ʻi hono ʻaho totonu; ʻe ai ʻae ʻuha lolo ʻoe tāpuaki.

27 And given hath the tree of the field its fruit, And the land doth give her increase, And they have been on their land confident, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them.

Pea ʻe tupu mei he ʻakau ʻoe ngoue ʻa hono fua, pea ʻe tuku mai ʻe he kelekele ʻa hono tupu, pea te nau malu pe ʻi honau fonua, mo nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka motuhi ʻae nonoʻo ʻo honau haʻamonga, mo fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻonautolu naʻe fakamālohia ʻakinautolu.

28 And they are no more a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth devoureth them not, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.

Pea ʻe ʻikai toe tulia ʻakinautolu ʻe he hiteni, pea ʻe ʻikai toe keina ʻakinautolu ʻe he fanga manu ʻoe fonua; ka ʻe malu pe ʻenau nofo, pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa fakamanaʻi ʻakinautolu.

29 And I have raised for them a plant for renown, And they are no more consumed by hunger in the land, And they bear no more the shame of the nations.

Pea te u fakatupu maʻanautolu ʻae ʻakau ke ongoongolelei, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe mate fiekaia ʻi he fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe fua ʻae mā ʻoe hiteni ʻo taʻengata.

30 And they have known that I, Jehovah, their God, [am] with them, And they — the house of Israel — My people, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻenau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ʻoku ou ʻiate kinautolu; pea ko kinautolu, ʻio, ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

31 And ye, My flock, the flock of My pasture, Men ye [are] — I [am] your God, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

“Pea ko kimoutolu ʻa ʻeku fanga sipi, ʻae fanga sipi ʻoku ou tauhi, ko e kau tangata ʻakimoutolu, pea ko homou ʻOtua au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
