< ʻIsikieli 16 >

1 Naʻe toe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Foha ʻoe tangata, fakaʻilo ki Selūsalema ʻa ʻene ngaahi fakalielia,
"Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;
3 Pea ke lea, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki Selūsalema; naʻe fanauʻi pea fāʻeleʻi koe ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani; ko hoʻo tamai ko e [tangata ]ʻAmoli, pea ko hoʻo faʻē ko e [fefine ]Heti.
and say, 'Thus says the LORD to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hethite.
4 Pea koeʻuhi ko ho fāʻeleʻi, ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fanauʻi ai koe naʻe ʻikai tā ho uho, pea naʻe ʻikai kaukau koe ʻi ha vai, ke fakamolū koe; naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻaki koe ha māsima, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito fakakofu koe.
As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to cleanse you; you weren't salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
5 Naʻe ʻikai ha mata ke ʻofa kiate koe ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate koe pe manavaʻofa kiate koe; ka naʻe lī atu koe ki he vao ʻataʻatā, ke fakalielia ho sino ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fāʻeleʻi ai koe.
No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for that your person was abhorred, in the day that you were born.
6 “Pea ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu kiate koe pea u mamata naʻa ke fakalielia ʻi ho toto pe ʻoʻou, ne u pehē kiate koe, lolotonga hoʻo kei pani toto, Ke ke moʻui; ʻio, naʻa ke kei ʻi ho toto ʻoʻou, naʻaku pehē ai kiate koe, Ke ke moʻui.
"'And I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your blood, and I said to you in your blood: 'Live.'
7 Kuo u ngaohi koe ke ke tupu ʻo hangē ko e fisi ʻoe ngoue, pea kuo ke tupu pea hoko ko e lahi, pea kuo ke maʻu ʻae teunga ki he teunga; kuo hunuki ho huhu, pea kuo tupu ho fulufulu, ka naʻa ke telefua mo masiva.
I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.
8 Pea ko eni, ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu kiate koe, vakai, ko e lolotonga ia ʻa hoʻo ʻofa; pea naʻaku folahi atu kiate koe ʻa hoku kofu mo fakakofuʻaki ʻa hoʻo telefua; ʻio, naʻaku fuakava kiate koe, pea naʻa ta fefuakavaʻaki mo koe,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “pea naʻaku maʻu koe maʻaku.”
"'Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, look, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you,' says the LORD, 'and you became mine.
9 “Pea u toki kaukau koe ʻaki ʻae vai, ne u fufulu koe ke maʻa ʻaupito mei he toto, pea naʻaku tākai koe ʻaki ʻae lolo.
"'Then I washed you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.
10 Naʻaku fakakofuʻaki koe ʻae tuitui fakasanisani, pea u fakatopuvaʻe ʻaki koe ʻae kiliʻi pasa; pea u fakavala ʻaki koe ʻae tupenu lelei, pea naʻaku ʻufiʻufi koe ʻaki ʻae silika.
I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I dressed you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.
11 Naʻaku ʻai foki kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa teunga, pea naʻaku ʻai ʻae vesa ki ho nima, mo e kahoa ki ho kia.
I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.
12 Pea naʻaku ʻai ʻae maka mahuʻinga ʻi ho foʻi laʻē, mo e mama ʻi ho telinga, mo e pale lelei ki ho ʻulu.
I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Naʻe pehē ʻae teuteu ʻaki koe ʻae koula mo e siliva; naʻe kofuʻaki koe ʻae tupenu lelei mo e silika, mo e tuitui fakasanisani; naʻa ke kai ʻi he mahoaʻa lelei mo e honi, mo e lolo: pea naʻa ke hoihoifua ʻaupito pea naʻa ke tupu lelei ʻo hoko ko e puleʻanga.
Thus you were decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.
14 Naʻe mafola atu ho ongoongolelei ki he hiteni ko e meʻa ʻi ho hoihoifua, he naʻe haohaoa ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku lelei ʻaia naʻaku ʻai ʻeau kiate koe,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
Your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you,' says the LORD.
15 “Ka naʻa ke falala koe ki ho hoihoifua, pea naʻa ke fai feʻauaki, ko e meʻa ʻi ho ongoongo, naʻa ke fai hoʻo feʻauaki kiate ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ange; naʻe ʻaʻana pe ia.
"'But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.
16 Pea naʻa ke toʻo ho ngaahi kofu pea ne ke teuteu ʻaki ia ho ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻi he meʻa pule kehekehe, pea naʻa ke fai feʻauaki ʻi ai: pea ʻe ʻikai toe hoko ha meʻa pehē; ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito pehē.
You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
17 Pea kuo ke toʻo ʻae ngaahi teunga lelei ʻo ʻeku koula mo ʻeku siliva, ʻaia naʻaku foaki kiate koe, mo ke ngaohi kiate koe ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ʻoe tangata, pea kuo ke fai angahala mo ia.
You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them;
18 Kuo ke fakakofuʻaki ʻakinautolu ho ngaahi kofu fakasanisani: pea kuo ke tuku ʻi honau ʻao ʻa ʻeku lolo mo e meʻa namu kakala ʻaʻaku.
and you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.
19 Ko ʻeku meʻakai foki, ʻaia naʻaku foaki kiate koe, ʻae mahoaʻa lelei, mo e lolo mo e honi, naʻaku fafanga ʻaki koe, naʻa mo ia kuo ke tuku ʻi honau ʻao, ko e meʻa namu kakala.” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, naʻe pehē ʻa hono fai.
My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and thus it was,' says the LORD.
20 “Kuo ke toʻo foki hoʻo ngaahi tama mo hoʻo ngaahi taʻahine ʻaia kuo ke fanauʻi kiate au, pea kuo ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻakinautolu ke nau ʻauha. Ko e meʻa siʻi koā eni, ʻa hoʻo feʻauaki?
"'Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,
21 Kaeʻumaʻā ʻa hoʻo tāmateʻi ʻeku fānau, mo ke tuku ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu atu [ʻi he afi ]maʻanautolu?
that you have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?
22 Pea ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia kotoa pē mo hoʻo feʻauaki kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai te ke manatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo kei siʻi, ʻaia naʻa ke telefua mo masiva ai, pea ke fakalielia ʻi ho toto pe ʻoʻou.”
In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.
23 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻi heʻene hili kotoa pē ʻa hoʻo fai kovi, (Malaʻia, malaʻia kiate koe! ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; )
"'It has happened after all your wickedness, ("Woe, woe to you." says the LORD),
24 Kuo ke langa moʻou ʻae fale feʻauaki mo ke ngaohi kiate koe ʻae potu māʻolunga ʻi he hala kotoa pē.
that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.
25 Kuo ke langa ho fale feʻauaki ʻi he tefito hala kotoa pē pea kuo ke ngaohi ho hoihoifua ko e fehiʻanekina, mo ke fakaava ho vaʻe kiate ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ange mo ke fakalahi pe ki hoʻo feʻauaki.
You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.
26 Kuo ke fai angahala foki mo ho kaunga nofoʻanga, ko e kakai ʻIsipite ʻoku sino lalahi: pea kuo ke fakalahi ki hoʻo feʻauaki, ko e fakatupu ʻita kiate au.
You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.
27 Ko ia, vakai, kuo u mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe, pea u fakasiʻisiʻi hoʻo meʻakai, mo tukuange koe ki he faʻiteliha ʻanautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe, ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kau Filisitia, he ʻoku nau mā ʻi hoʻo faianga fakalielia.
See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary food, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.
28 Kuo ke fai angahala foki mo e kakai ʻAsilia, he naʻe ʻikai te ke faʻa fiu; ʻio, kuo ke fai angahala mo kinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te ke topono ai.
You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren't satisfied.
29 Kuo ke fakalahi foki ʻa hoʻo feʻauaki ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani ʻo aʻu ki Kalitia; ka naʻa mo ia naʻe ʻikai te ke fiu ai.”
You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren't satisfied with this.
30 “ʻOiauē! ʻAe vaivai ho loto,” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “He kuo ke fai eni kotoa pē, ko e ngāue ʻae fefine faʻa feʻauaki mo fakamofutofuta;
"'How weak is your heart, says the LORD, since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;
31 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo langa ha fale feʻauaki ʻi he tefito hala kotoa pē, pea ngaohi ho potu māʻolunga ʻi he hala kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke tatau mo e fefine feʻauaki ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fehiʻa ki he totongi;
in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.
32 Kae hangē ko e uaifi ʻoku tono tangata ʻoku maʻu ʻae kakai kehe ko e fetongi ʻa hono husepāniti!
"'A wife who commits adultery, who takes strangers instead of her husband.
33 ‌ʻOku foaki totongi ki he kau fefine feʻauaki kotoa pē; ka ko koe kuo ke foaki meʻaʻofa ki ho kau mamana kotoa pē, pea ke totongi kiate kinautolu, ke nau haʻu kiate koe mei he potu kotoa pē ki hoʻo feʻauaki.
They give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.
34 Pea ʻoku ke fai kehe koe ʻi hoʻo fai angahala mo e fefine kehe, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai muimui ha niʻihi kiate koe ke fai ʻae angahala; pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fai ʻe koe ʻae totongi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha totongi ʻe fai kiate koe, ko ia ʻoku ke kehe ai.”
You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.'
35 Ko ia, ʻe fefine feʻauaki, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
"Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of the LORD:
36 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Koeʻuhi naʻe lilingi atu hoʻo fakalielia, pea fakahā hoʻo telefua, ʻi hoʻo fai angahala mo ho kau mamana, mo e ngaahi tamapua ʻo hoʻo fakalielia, pea mo e toto ʻo hoʻo fānau ʻaia naʻa ke tuku kiate kinautolu:
Thus says the LORD, 'Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;
37 Vakai, ko ia foki te u tānaki ai ho kau mamana kotoa pē, ʻakinautolu kuo ke fakafiefia ai koe, mo kinautolu kotoa pē kuo ke ʻofa ki ai, fakataha mo kinautolu kotoa pē kuo ke fehiʻa ki ai; ʻio, te u tānaki fakataha ʻakinautolu kiate koe, pea te u fakahā hoʻo telefua kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki hoʻo telefua kotoa pē.
therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those who you have loved, with all those who you have hated; I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
38 Pea te u fakamaauʻi koe, ʻo tatau mo e fakamaau ki he kau fefine ʻoku maumau ʻae fakamaʻu mali mo lilingi ʻae toto: pea te u fakainu ʻaki koe ʻae toto ʻi heʻeku houhau mo ʻeku fuaʻa.
I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.
39 Pea te u tukuange koe foki ki honau nima, pea te nau holoki hifo ho fale ongoongo, ʻo maumauʻi ki lalo ho ngaahi potu māʻolunga: pea te nau haehae foki meiate koe ho ngaahi kofu, mo nau ʻave hoʻo ngaahi meʻa teunga, pea te nau fakatelefuaʻi mo fakamasivaʻi koe.
I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you naked and bare.
40 Pea te nau ʻomi mo e niʻihi kiate koe, pea te nau lisingi koe ʻaki ʻae maka, pea tui ʻaki koe ʻenau heletā ke ʻasi.
They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.
41 Pea te nau tuungia ho ngaahi fale, mo nau fai ʻae tautea kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fefine tokolahi: te u ngaohi koe ke ke tuku hoʻo feʻauaki, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ke toe fai ha totongi.
They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more.
42 Ko ia ia ʻe lolou ai ʻa hoku houhau kiate koe, pea ʻe hiki hoku fuaʻa meiate koe, pea te u fiemālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻita.
So will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43 Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te ke manatuʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo kei siʻi, ka kuo ke fakamataliliʻi au ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē, ko ia, vakai, te u fakahoko ki ho tumuʻaki hono nunuʻa ʻo hoʻo faianga, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fakalahi ʻaki hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia kotoa pē ʻa hoʻo fai ʻae fakalielia ko eni.”
"'Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, look, I also will bring your way on your head,' says the LORD: 'and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.
44 “Vakai, ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku faʻa lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā te nau lea fakatātā kiate koe ʻo pehē, ‘ʻO hangē ko e faʻē, ʻoku pehē pe ʻene taʻahine.’
"'Look, everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, "As is the mother, so is her daughter."
45 Ko e taʻahine koe ʻa hoʻo faʻē, ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki hono husepāniti mo ʻene fānau; pea ko e tehina koe ʻo ho ngaahi tokoua, ʻakinautolu naʻe fehiʻa ki honau husepāniti mo ʻenau fānau: ko hoʻo faʻē ko e [fefine ]Heti, pea ko hoʻo tamai ko e [tangata ]ʻAmoli ia.
You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hethite, and your father an Amorite.
46 Pea ko ho taʻokete ko Samēlia ia, ʻaia mo ʻene fānau fefine, ʻoku nofo ʻi ho nima toʻohema: pea ko ho tehina, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu, ko Sotoma ia mo ʻene fānau fefine.
Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 Ka naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻeveʻeva koe ʻi honau hala, pe fai ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngaahi fakalielia: kae hangē naʻe siʻi ʻaupito haʻanautolu, ka kuo ke fai fakalielia lahi hake ʻaupito koe ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi hoʻo anga kotoa pē.”
Yet have you not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as if that were a very little thing, you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.
48 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻO hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe ho tehina ko Sotoma, ʻa ia, pe ko ʻene fānau fefine, ʻo tatau mo ia kuo ke fai ʻe koe, ʻa koe, mo hoʻo kau taʻahine.
As I live,' says the LORD, 'Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
49 Vakai, ko e fai hala eni ʻa ho tehina ko Sotoma, ko e fielahi, mo e fangapesi, mo e fakapikopiko lahi, naʻe ʻiate ia mo ʻene fānau fefine, pea naʻe ʻikai tokoni ʻe ia ki he nima ʻoe masiva mo e paea.
"'Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 Pea naʻa nau fielahi, mo nau fai fakalielia ʻi hoku ʻao; ko ia naʻaku faʻiteliha pe au ʻo ʻave ai ʻakinautolu.
They were haughty, and committed abomination before me. So I took them away, as you have seen.
51 Pea naʻa mo Samēlia, ʻoku ʻikai te ne fai hala ʻe ia ke tatau mo e vaeua haʻau; he kuo ke fakatupu hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia ke lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu, pea kuo tonuhia ange ʻiate koe, ʻa ho ngaahi tokoua, ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia, ʻaia kuo ke fai ʻe koe.
Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.
52 ‌ʻA koe foki, kuo ke fakaanga ki ho ngaahi tokoua, fua pe ʻe koe, ʻa hoʻo mā ʻaʻau, ʻi hoʻo ngaahi angahala kuo ke fai fakalielia lahi ai ʻiate kinautolu: ʻoku nau māʻoniʻoni hake ʻiate koe: ʻio, ke ke puputuʻu koe, pea ke fua hoʻo mā, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fakatonuhiaʻi ho ngaahi tokoua.
You also, bear you your own shame, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that you: yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
53 ‌ʻO kau ka toe ʻomi mei he pōpula, ʻae kau pōpula ʻo Sotoma mo ʻene fānau fefine, mo e pōpula ʻo Samēlia mo ʻene fānau fefine ʻaʻana, te u toki ʻomi ʻae pōpula ʻi hoʻo kau pōpula ki honau lotolotonga:
"'I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives in their midst;
54 Koeʻuhi ke ke fua ʻe koe pe ʻa hoʻo mā, pea ke puputuʻu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ke fai, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu.
that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.
55 ‌ʻOka toe liliu mai ʻa Sotoma mo ʻene fānau fefine ki heʻenau nofo muʻa, pea liliu ʻa Samēlia mo ʻene fānau fefine ki heʻenau muʻaki nofo, ʻe toki liliu ai koe mo hoʻo fānau fefine ki hoʻomou nofo muʻa ʻamoutolu.
Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.
56 He naʻe ʻikai te ke meimei lea ʻaki mei ho ngutu, ʻa ho taʻokete ko Samēlia, ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hoʻo fielahi,
For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 ‌ʻI he teʻeki ai fakahā hoʻo angakovi, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe manukiʻi ai koe ʻe he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Silia mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo vāofi mo ia, ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kau Filisitia, ʻaia ʻoku manuki fano pe kiate koe.
before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to you all around.
58 Kuo ke fua hoʻo holi kovi mo hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says the LORD.'
59 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Te u fai kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ke fai, ʻa koe, kuo ke manuki ki heʻeta tuki, mo ke maumauʻi ʻae fuakava.
"For thus says the LORD: 'I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 Ka neongo ia te u manatu ʻeau, ʻa ʻeku fuakava mo koe ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hoʻo kei siʻi, pea te u fokotuʻu kiate koe ha fuakava ʻe ʻikai ngata.
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.
61 Pea te ke toki manatu ki hoʻo faianga kotoa pē, pea te ke mā, ʻoka ke ka maʻu ho ngaahi tokoua, ʻa ho taʻokete mo ho ngaahi tehina: pea te u foaki ʻakinautolu kiate koe, ke ke ʻofefine aki, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻi hoʻo fuakava ʻaʻau.
Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you receive your older and your younger sisters; and I will give them to you as daughters, but not by your covenant.
62 Pea te u fokotuʻu ʻa ʻeku fuakava mo koe, pea te ke ʻilo ko Sihova au.
I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am the LORD;
63 Koeʻuhi ke ke manatu ai, mo ke puputuʻu, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ke toe mafaʻa ho ngutu koeʻuhi ko hoʻo mā, ʻo kau ka toe fiemālie kiate koe ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ke fai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua.
that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says the LORD.'"
