< Jeremiah 49 >
1 Concerning the sons of Ammon: 'Thus said Jehovah: Sons — hath Israel none? heir — hath he none? Wherefore hath Malcam possessed Gad? And his people in its cities have dwelt?
ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ki he kau ʻAmoni; “ʻIkai ʻoku maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi foha? ʻIkai ʻoku ai hono hoko? Ko e hā ʻoku maʻu ʻe honau tuʻi ʻa Kata, pea nofo ʻa hono kakai ʻi hono ngaahi kolo?
2 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sounded unto Rabbah of the sons of Ammon a shout of battle, And it hath been for a heap — a desolation, And her daughters with fire are burnt, And Israel hath succeeded its heirs, Said hath Jehovah.
Ko ia, vakai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku hoko mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia te u fakatupu ai ʻae ongoongo tau ʻi Lapa, ʻi he kau ʻAmoni; pea ʻe hoko ia ko e tuʻunga meʻa liʻaki, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻaki ʻae afi ʻa hono ngaahi ʻofefine: pea ʻe toki maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae nofoʻanga ʻonautolu naʻa nau maʻu hono nofoʻanga,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
3 Howl, Heshbon, for spoiled is Ai, Cry, daughters of Rabbah, gird on sackcloth, Lament, and go to and fro by the hedges, For Malcam into captivity doth go, His priests and his princes together.
“ʻE Hesiponi, ke ke tangi mamahi, he kuo maumauʻi ʻa ʻAi: pea tangi ʻakimoutolu ko e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Lapa, mou ʻai ʻae tauangaʻa; pea tangilāulau, pea femaleleaki ki he ngaahi ʻā; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻa honau tuʻi, mo ʻene kau taulaʻeiki pea mo hono houʻeiki fakataha.
4 What — dost thou boast thyself in valleys? Flowed hath thy valley, O backsliding daughter, Who is trusting in her treasures: Who doth come in unto me?
Ko e hā ʻoku ke polepole ai ʻi he ngaahi teleʻa, ko ho ngaahi teleʻa mahu, ʻE ʻofefine fakaholomui? ʻAia naʻe falala ki heʻene ngaahi koloa, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko hai te ne haʻu kiate au?’
5 Lo, I am bringing in upon thee a fear, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, From all round about thee, And ye have been driven out each before it, And there is no gatherer of the wandering.
“Vakai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Te u ʻomi ʻae ilifia kiate koe, meiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai koe; pea ʻe kapusi atu ʻakimoutolu ʻae tangata taki taha; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻomi ʻe ha taha ʻaia kuo hola.
6 And after this I turn back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, An affirmation of Jehovah.'
Pea hili ia te u toe ʻomi ʻae fakapōpula ʻoe kakai ʻAmoni, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
7 Concerning Edom: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Perished hath counsel from the intelligent? Vanished hath their wisdom?
Ko e meʻa ʻoku kau ki ʻItomi: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “ʻIkai ʻoku kei toe ʻae poto ʻi Timani? Kuo ʻosi ʻae fakakaukau ʻi he kau fakapotopoto? Kuo mole ʻenau poto?
8 Flee, turn, go deep to dwell, ye inhabitants of Dedan, For the calamity of Esau I brought in upon him, The time I inspected him.
Mou hola, ʻo foki mai, ʻalu ki lalo pea nofo, ʻae kakai ʻo Titani; koeʻuhi te u ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tuʻutāmaki ʻo ʻIsoa, ko e ʻaho te u ʻaʻahi ai kiate ia.
9 If gatherers have come in to thee, They do not leave gleanings, If thieves in the night, They have destroyed their sufficiency!
Kapau ʻe haʻu kiate koe ʻae kau tānaki kālepi, ʻe ʻikai te nau fakatoe ha kālepi? Kapau ko e kau kaihaʻa ʻi he poʻuli, te nau kaihaʻa ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau manako.
10 For I — I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And to be hidden he is not able, Spoiled [is] his seed, and his brethren, And his neighbours, and he is not.
Ka kuo u fakatelefuaʻi ʻa ʻIsoa, kuo u fakaʻilo hono ngaahi toitoiʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa fai ke fakafufū ia: kuo maumauʻi hono hoko, pea mo hono kāinga, pea mo hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ia.
11 Leave thine orphans — I do keep alive, And thy widows — on Me trust ye,
Tuku hoʻo fānau tamai mate, te u fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu, pea tuku ke falala kiate au ho kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti.
12 For thus said Jehovah: They whose judgment is not to drink of the cup, Do certainly drink, And thou [art] he that is entirely acquitted! Thou art not acquitted, for thou certainly drinkest.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; Vakai, ko kinautolu naʻe totonu ke ʻoua naʻa nau inu; kuo nau inu moʻoni ki he ipu; pea te ke hao ʻaupito koe ʻi he tautea? ʻE ʻikai te ke hao, ka ko e moʻoni te ke inu ki ai.
13 For, by Myself, I have sworn, An affirmation of Jehovah, That for a desolation, for a reproach, For a waste, and for a reviling — is Bozrah, And all her cities are for wastes age-during.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, kuo u fuakava ʻiate au, ke fakahoko ʻa Posila ko e meʻa fakaofo, mo e ongokovi, mo e liʻaki, pea mo e malaʻia; pea ʻe lala maʻuaipē hono ngaahi kolo.”
14 A report I have heard from Jehovah, And an ambassador among nations is sent, Gather yourselves and come in against her, And rise ye for battle.
Kuo u fanongo ki he ongoongo meia Sihova, kuo fekau ʻae kau talafekau ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻo pehē, “Mou fakataha ʻakimoutolu, pea haʻu kiate ia, pea mou tuʻu hake ki he tau.
15 For, lo, little I have made thee among nations, Despised among men.
Vakai, he te u ngaohi koe ke siʻi ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga; pea ko e fehiʻanekina ʻi he kakai.
16 Thy terribleness hath lifted thee up, The pride of thy heart, O dweller in clefts of the rock, Holding the high place of the height, For thou makest high as an eagle thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Kuo kākaaʻi koe ʻe hoʻo mālohi, mo e fielahi ʻo ho loto, ʻa koe ʻoku ke nofo ʻi he ngaahi ʻanaʻi maka, pea maʻu ʻae māʻolunga ʻoe moʻunga: kapau te ke ngaohi ho pununga ke māʻolunga ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale, te u fakahifo koe mei ai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
17 And Edom hath been for a desolation, Every passer by her is astonished, And doth hiss because of all her plagues.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻa ʻItomi ko e meʻa liʻaki: pea ʻe fakatumutumu ʻae tangata taki taha ʻoku fononga ofi ki ai! Pea ʻe fakaʻiseʻisa koeʻuhi ko hono ngaahi tautea kotoa pē.
18 As the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, And its neighbours, said Jehovah, No one doth dwell there, Nor sojourn in her doth a son of man.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Hangē ko e fakaʻauha ʻo Sotoma mo Komola, mo e ngaahi kolo ofi ki ai, ʻe ʻikai nofo ai ha tangata, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻāunofo ki ai ʻae foha ʻoe tangata.
19 Lo, as a lion he cometh up, Because of the rising of the Jordan, Unto the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause him to run from off her, And who is chosen? concerning her I lay a charge, For who is like Me? and who conveneth Me? And who [is] this shepherd who standeth before Me?
“Vakai, te ne ʻalu hake ʻo hangē ko e laione mei he fonu mahakehake ʻo Soatani ki he nofoʻanga ʻoe mālohi: ko e moʻoni te u pule kiate ia ke ne lele vave mei ai: pea ko hai ʻae tangata kuo fili ke u tuʻutuʻuni ke pule ia? He ko hai ʻoku tatau mo au? Pe ko hai te ne akonakiʻi au? Pe ko hai ʻae tauhi ko ia te ne faʻa tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao?
20 Therefore, hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, That He hath counselled concerning Edom, And His devices that He hath devised Concerning the inhabitants of Teman: Drag them out do not little ones of the flock, Make desolate over them doth he not their habitation?
Ko ia fanongo ki he fakakaukau ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ne folofola ki ʻItomi; pea mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ki he kakai ʻo Timani: ko e moʻoni ʻe taki kituʻa ʻakinautolu ʻe he tokosiʻi pe: ko e moʻoni te ne ngaohi honau nofoʻanga ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻiate kinautolu.
21 From the noise of their fall hath the earth shaken, The cry — at the sea of Suph is its voice heard.
ʻOku ngalulu ʻae kelekele ʻi he longoaʻa ʻo ʻenau tō, naʻe ongo atu ʻae longoaʻa ʻo ia ʻi he tangi ʻi he Tahi Kulokula.
22 Lo, as an eagle he cometh up, and flieth, And he spreadeth his wings over Bozrah, And the heart of the mighty of Edom hath been in that day, As the heart of a distressed woman!'
Vakai, te ne ʻalu hake pea puna ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale, pea mafola hono kapakau ki Posila: pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe hoko ʻae loto ʻoe tangata mālohi ʻo ʻItomi ʻo hangē ko e loto ʻoe fefine ʻi heʻene langā.”
23 Concerning Damascus: Ashamed hath been Hamath and Arpad, For an evil report they have heard, They have been melted, in the sea [is] sorrow, To be quiet it is not able.
Ko e meʻa ʻoku kau ki Tamasikusi. “Kuo puputuʻu ʻa Hamati pea mo ʻAapati: he kuo nau fanongo ki he ngaahi ongoongo kovi: ʻoku vaivai honau loto; kuo fakavai ʻakinautolu ʻi he mamahi ke hangē ko e tahi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito malaʻia.
24 Feeble hath been Damascus, She turned to flee, and fear strengthened her, Distress and pangs have seized her, as a travailing woman.
Kuo vaivai ʻa Tamasikusi, kuo tafoki mai ia ke hola, pea kuo moʻua ia ʻi he manavahē: pea kuo maʻu ia ʻe he feinga mo e mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e fefine ʻoku langā.
25 How is it not left — the city of praise, The city of my joy!
Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai tuku ai ʻae kolo ongoongolelei, ko e kolo naʻaku fiefia ai?
26 Therefore fall do her young men in her broad places, And all the men of war are cut off in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.
Ko ia ʻe tō hono kau talavou ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea ʻe tuʻusi ʻae kau tangata tau kotoa pē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
27 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Damascus, And it consumed palaces of Ben-Hadad!'
“Pea te u tutu ʻae afi ʻi he ʻā ʻo Tamasikusi, pea ʻe ʻauha ai ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Penihatati.”
28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten: 'Thus said Jehovah: Arise ye, go ye up unto Kedar, And spoil the sons of the east.
Ko e meʻa ʻoku kau ki Keta, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo Hasoa, ʻaia ʻe teʻia ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Mou tuʻu, ʻo ʻalu hake ki Keta, pea maumauʻi ʻae kau tangata mei hahake.
29 Their tents and their flock they do take, Their curtains, and all their vessels, And their camels, they bear away for themselves, And they called concerning them, Fear [is] round about.
Te nau ʻave honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki pea mo ʻenau fanga manu: pea te nau ʻave maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi puipui, mo ʻenau ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, pea mo ʻenau fanga kāmeli; pea te nau tangi kiate kinautolu ʻo pehē, ʻoku ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻae manavahē.
30 Flee, bemoan mightily, go deep to dwell, Ye inhabitants of Hazor — an affirmation of Jehovah, For given counsel against you hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Yea, he deviseth against them a device.
“ʻAe kakai ʻo Hasoa, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Mou hola ʻo ʻalu mamaʻo, pea nofo māʻulalo; koeʻuhi ko Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, kuo ne fakakaukau ha meʻa kiate kimoutolu, pea tuʻutuʻuni ha meʻa ke fai kiate kimoutolu.
31 Rise ye, go up unto a nation at rest, Dwelling confidently, an affirmation of Jehovah, It hath no two-leaved doors nor bar, Alone they do dwell.
ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ‘Mou tuʻu, pea ʻalu hake ki he kakai ʻoku fakafiemālie, ʻaia ʻoku nofo fakafiemālie, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ngaahi matapā pe ha ngaahi fakamaʻu, ʻoku nofo taha pe ʻakinautolu.
32 And their camels have been for a prey, And the multitude of their cattle for a spoil, And I have scattered them to every wind, Who cut off the corner [of the beard], And from all its passages I bring in their calamity, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Pea ʻe vetea ʻa ʻenau fanga kāmeli, pea ʻave mo ʻenau fanga manu lahi: pea te u fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi potu kotoa pē, ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi muileleu mamaʻo; pea te u ʻomi ʻenau mamahi mei he ngaahi potu kotoa pē, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
33 And Hazor hath been for a habitation of dragons, A desolation — unto the age, No one doth dwell there, nor sojourn in it doth a son of man!'
Pea ʻe hoko ʻa Hasoa ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe fanga talākoni, pea mo e potu liʻaki ʻo taʻengata: ʻe ʻikai nofomaʻu ʻi ai ha tangata, pea ʻe ʻikai nofo ai ha foha ʻoe tangata.”
34 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:
Ko e folofola ʻa Sihova naʻe hoko kia Selemaia ko e palōfita ki ʻIlami ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe pule ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē,
35 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am breaking the bow of Elam, The beginning of their might.
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ‘Vakai, te u fesiʻi ʻae kaufana ʻo ʻIlami, ko honau mālohiʻanga.
36 And I have brought in to Elam four winds, From the four ends of the heavens, And have scattered them to all these winds, And there is no nation whither outcasts of Elam come not in.
Pea te u ʻomi ki ʻIlami ʻae matangi ʻe fā, mei he ngataʻanga ʻe fā ʻoe langi, pea ʻe fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ʻi he feituʻu matangi ko ia kotoa pē; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha kakai, ʻe taʻehoko ki ai ʻae kau liʻekina ʻo ʻIlami.
37 And I have affrighted Elam before their enemies, And before those seeking their life, And I have brought in against them evil, The heat of Mine anger, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sent after them the sword, Till I have consumed them;
Pea te u fakailifiaʻi ʻa ʻIlami ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ngaahi fili, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻonautolu ʻoku kumi ki heʻenau moʻui: pea te u ʻomi kiate kinautolu ʻae kovi, ʻio, ko e kakaha ʻo ʻeku tuputāmaki,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; ‘pea te u ʻomi kiate kinautolu ʻae heletā, kaeʻoua ke u fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu:
38 And I have set My throne in Elam, And I have destroyed thence King and princes — an affirmation of Jehovah.
Pea te u fokotuʻu hoku nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻi ʻIlami, pea fakaʻauha mei ai ʻae tuʻi pea mo e houʻeiki,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
39 And it hath come to pass, in the latter end of the days, I turn back [to] the captivity of Elam, An affirmation of Jehovah!'
‘Ka ʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamui, ʻa ʻeku toe ʻomi ʻae fakapōpula ʻo ʻIlami,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
