ʻIsikieli 11

1 Ko eni foki naʻe hiki hake au ʻe he laumālie ʻo ne ʻomi au ki he matapā fakahahake ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki he feituʻu hahake: pea vakai, naʻe ʻi he hūʻanga ʻoe matapā ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko uofulu ma toko nima; pea naʻaku mamata ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa Sesania ko e foha ʻo ʻAsuli mo Peletaia ko e foha ʻo Penaia ko e houʻeiki ʻoe kakai.

Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of YHWH's house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gate twenty-five men; and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, officials of the people.

2 Pea ne toki pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ko e kau tangata ʻena ʻoku fakatupu ʻae kovi, ʻonau fakakaukau kovi ʻi he kolo ni:

He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;

3 ‌ʻO nau pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ofi ha meʻa ka tau langa fale ʻakitautolu: ko e kulo ʻae kolo ni ka ko e kakano ʻakitautolu.

who say, 'The time is not near to build houses: this is the caldron, and we are the meat.'

4 “Ko ia ke ke kikite kiate kinautolu, kikite, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata.”

Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man."

5 Pea naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova ʻo ne pehē kiate au, “Lea, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; Ko eni, kuo mou lea pehē ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli: he ʻoku ou ʻilo kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hū mai ki homou loto.

The Spirit of YHWH fell on me, and he said to me, "Speak, Thus says YHWH: 'Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.

6 Kuo mou fakatokolahi hoʻomou mate tāmateʻi ʻi he kolo ni pea kuo mou fakafonu ʻaki ʻae mate tāmateʻi ʻa hono ngaahi hala.

You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.'

7 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko hoʻomou mate ʻaia kuo mou fokotuʻu ʻi loto ʻi ai, ko e kakano ʻakinautolu, pea ko e kolo ni ko e kulo ia: ka te u ʻomi kituʻa ʻakimoutolu mei ai.

Therefore thus says YHWH: 'Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the meat, and this is the caldron; but I will bring you out of it.

8 Kuo mou manavahē ki he heletā; pea te u ʻomi ʻae heletā kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,' says YHWH.

9 Pea te u ʻomi kituʻa ʻakimoutolu mei he lotolotonga ʻo ia, mo tukuange ʻakimoutolu ki he nima ʻoe kau muli, pea te u fai ʻae fakamalaʻia kiate kimoutolu.

'I will bring you forth out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.

10 Pea ʻe tulaki hifo ʻakimoutolu ʻi he heletā; te u fakamaau ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli; pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.

You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know that I am YHWH.

11 ‌ʻE ʻikai hoko eni ko hoʻomou kulo, pea ʻe ʻikai hoko ʻakimoutolu ko e kakano ʻi loto ʻi ai; ka te u fakamaau ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli:

This shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the meat in its midst; I will judge you in the border of Israel;

12 Pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au: he kuo ʻikai te mou ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻeku fekau, pe fai ki heʻeku fakamaau, ka kuo mou fai ki he anga ʻae hiteni ʻoku nofo tākai ʻiate kimoutolu.”

and you shall know that I am YHWH: for you have not walked in my statutes, neither have you executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.'"

13 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻeku kikite, naʻe mate ʻa Peletaia ko e foha ʻo Penaia. Pea naʻaku tō hifo ai ki hoku mata ʻo tangi ʻi he leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOiauē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua! Te ke fakaʻosi ke ʻosi ʻaupito ʻae toenga ʻo ʻIsileli?”

It happened, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, "Ah, YHWH. Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"

14 Naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

The word of YHWH came to me, saying,

15 “Foha ʻoe tangata, ko ho kāinga, ʻio, ho kāinga ʻoʻou, ʻae kau tangata ʻo ho faʻahinga, pea mo e fale kātoa kotoa ʻa ʻIsileli, ko kinautolu ia kuo pehē ki ai ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ‘ʻAlu ke mamaʻo ʻakimoutolu meia Sihova: he ko kimoutolu kuo foaki ki ai ʻae fonua ni ko e tofiʻa.’

"Son of man, your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, 'Go far away from YHWH. This land has been given to us for a possession.'

16 Ko ia ke ke lea, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; neongo ʻeku liʻaki ke mamaʻo ʻakinautolu ki he hiteni, pea neongo ʻeku fakahē ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua, ka te u hangē ko e siʻi hūfanga kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fonua ʻaia te nau hoko ki ai.

Therefore say, 'Thus says YHWH: "Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come."'

17 Ko ia ke ke pehē, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Te u tānaki moʻoni ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai pea fakataha mai kimoutolu mei he ngaahi fonua ʻaia kuo fakahēʻi ʻakimoutolu ki ai, pea te u foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua ʻo ʻIsileli.

Therefore say, 'Thus says YHWH: "I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."

18 Pea te nau hoko mai ki heni, pea te nau fetuku mei heni ʻa hono ngaahi meʻa kovi mo hono ngaahi fakalielia.

They shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestable things of it and all its abominations from there.

19 Pea te u foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae loto pe taha, pea te u ʻai ha laumālie foʻou kiate kimoutolu; pea te u toʻo atu ʻae loto maka mei honau kakano, pea te u foaki ʻae loto kakanoʻia kiate kinautolu:

I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;

20 Koeʻuhi ke nau faʻa ʻeveʻeva ai ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea tauhi ʻa ʻeku tuʻutuʻuni mo fai ki ai: pea ʻe hoko ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu, pea ko honau ʻOtua au.

that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

21 Ka koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku muimui honau loto ki he loto ʻo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakaliliʻa mo ʻenau fakalielia, te u totongi ʻenau anga ki honau tumuʻaki, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”

But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,' says YHWH."

22 Pea hili ia naʻe hiki ki ʻolunga ʻe he selupimi ʻa honau kapakau pea mo e ngaahi teka naʻe ofi ai; pea naʻe feangai hifo mei ʻolunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

23 Pea naʻe mahuʻi ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova mei he loto kolo, pea tuʻu mei he moʻunga ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu hahake ʻoe kolo.

The glory of YHWH went up from the midst of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.

24 Pea hili ia naʻe toʻo hake au ʻe he laumālie, pea ʻomi au ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa hā mai ki Kalitia kiate kinautolu ʻoe pōpula. Pea naʻe pehē ʻae mahuʻi ʻiate au ʻae meʻa hā mai ʻaia naʻaku mamata ki ai.

The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.

25 Pea naʻaku toki fakamatala kiate kinautolu ʻoe pōpula ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova kiate au.

Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that YHWH had shown me.
