ʻIsikieli 13

1 Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,

2 “Foha ʻoe tangata, kikite ki he kau kikite ʻo ʻIsileli ʻoku kikite, pea ke pehē ʻe koe kiate kinautolu ʻoku kikite mei honau loto ʻonautolu pē, Mou fanongo ʻakimoutolu ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.”

3 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ‘Malaʻia ki he kau kikite vale, ʻaia kuo muimui ki honau laumālie ʻonautolu pē, ka ʻoku ʻikai ke mamata ki ha meʻa!

4 ‌ʻE ʻIsileli ʻoku tatau hoʻo kau kikite mo e fanga fokisi ʻi he toafa.

5 ‌ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻalu hake ki he ngaahi ava, pe ngaohi ʻae ʻā ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke tuʻumaʻu ai ʻi he tau ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Sihova.

6 Kuo nau mamata ki he vaʻinga mo e kikite loi! ʻI heʻenau pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova: ka naʻe ʻikai fekau ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova: pea kuo nau fakaʻamanaki ʻae niʻihi ki he fakamoʻoni ʻo ʻenau lea.

7 ‌ʻIkai kuo mou mamata ki he meʻa hā mai ʻoku vaʻinga, pea ʻikai kuo mou lea ʻaki ʻae kikite loi ʻi hoʻomou pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; kae ʻosi ʻoku ʻikai te u lea au?”

8 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “Koeʻuhi kuo mou lea ʻaki ʻae vaʻinga, mo mamata ki he loi, ko ia, vakai, ko au ia ʻe fai mo kimoutolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

9 Pea ʻe tō hoku nima ki he kau kikite ʻoku mamata ki he vaʻinga, mo nau kikite loi: ʻe ʻikai te nau kau ʻi he fakataha ʻo hoku kakai, pea ʻe ʻikai tohi ʻakinautolu ʻi he tohi ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hū ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; he te mou ʻilo ko au, ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua.

10 Koeʻuhi, ʻio, koeʻuhi kuo nau kākaaʻi ʻa hoku kakai, ʻi heʻenau pehē, Fiemālie; ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fiemālie; pea naʻe langa hake ʻe he tokotaha ʻae ʻā, pea vakai naʻe laku ki ai ʻae lahe taʻepipiki ʻe he niʻihi kehe.

11 Tala kiate kinautolu ʻoku laku ki ai ʻae lahe taʻepipiki, ʻe hinga ia: ʻe ai ʻae ʻuha lahi; pea ʻe tō hifo ʻakimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi maka lahi ʻoe ʻuha fefeka; pea ʻe hae ia ʻe he matangi mālohi.

12 Vakai ʻoka hinga ʻae ʻā, ʻikai ʻe pehē ai kiate kimoutolu, Ko fē ia ʻae laku lahe ʻaia naʻa mou fai?”

13 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻIo, ko au te u hae ia ʻaki ʻae matangi mālohi ʻi heʻeku houhau lahi: pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻita ʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻuha lahi, pea mo e ʻuha maka ke fakaʻosiʻosi ia ʻi heʻeku houhau lahi.

14 ‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku maumauʻi ki lalo ʻae ʻā ʻaia kuo mou laku ai ʻae lahe taʻepipiki, pea ʻe holoki hifo ia ki he kelekele; ʻio, naʻa mo hono tuʻunga ʻe hā ia, pea ʻe hinga ia, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu ʻi loto ʻi ai: pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.

15 ‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku fakahoko ʻeku houhau ki he ʻā, mo kinautolu

16 ‌ʻAe kau kikite ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku kikite ki Selūsalema, pea ʻoku mamata ki he meʻa hā mai ʻoe fakamelino kiate ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha melino;” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

17 “Ko eni foki, ʻa koe, foha ʻoe tangata, fakahangatonu ho mata ki he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo hoʻo kakai, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kikite mei honau loto ʻonautolu; pea ke kikite koe kiate kinautolu.

18 Pea ke lea, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua;’ Malaʻia ki he kau fefine ʻoku tuitui ʻae faakiʻanga ki he nima kotoa pē, mo ngaohi ʻae pūlou ki he ʻulu kehekehe ke tuli ʻae ngaahi laumālie! Te mou tuli koā ʻae laumālie ʻo hoku kakai, pea te mou fakamoʻui ʻae laumālie ʻoku haʻu kiate kimoutolu?

19 Pea te mou fakalieliaʻi au ʻi hoku kakai, koeʻuhi ko ha falukunga ʻoe paʻale mo ha konga mā, ke tāmate ʻae laumālie ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻae laumālie ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke moʻui, ʻi hoʻomou loi ki hoku kakai ʻoku fanongo ki he loi?”

20 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Vakai ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki homou faakiʻanga ʻaia ʻoku mou tauhele ʻaki ʻae ngaahi laumālie; pea te u hae ia mei homou nima mo tukuange ʻae ngaahi laumālie, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi laumālie ʻoku mou tuli ke tauheleʻi.

21 Te u haehae foki ʻa homou pūlou mo fakamoʻui ʻa hoku kakai mei homou nima, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau kei ʻi homou nima ke tauheleʻi; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.

22 “Koeʻuhi kuo mou fakamamahiʻi ʻae loto ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻaki ʻae ngaahi loi, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fakamamahi; mo fakamālohi ʻae nima ʻoe angahala ke ʻoua naʻa foki ia mei hono hala kovi, ʻi hoʻomou tala moʻui ki ai:

23 Ko ia ʻe ʻikai te mou toe mamata ki he vaʻinga, pe fai ʻae kikite: he te u fakamoʻui ʻa hoku kakai mei homou nima: pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
