ʻIsikieli 25

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

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

2 “Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahanga ho mata ki he kau ʻAmoni, pea kikite kiate kinautolu;

'Son of man, set thy face unto the sons of Ammon, and prophesy against them;

3 Pea ke pehē ki he kau ʻAmoni, Fanongo mai ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; koeʻuhi naʻa ke fakamaʻitoʻa mai ki hoku fale tapu ʻi hono fakalieliaʻi; pea ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi hono fakalala; pea ki he fale ʻo Siuta ʻi hono ʻave ʻakinautolu ke fakapōpulaʻi;

and thou hast said to the sons of Ammon: Hear ye a word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy saying, Aha, to My sanctuary, Because it hath been polluted, And unto the ground of Israel, Because it hath been desolate, And unto the house of Judah, Because they have gone into a removal:

4 Vakai, ko ia ia te u tukuange ai koe ki he kakai hahake ke nau maʻu koe, pea te nau fokotuʻu honau nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻiate koe; mo langa honau ngaahi fale ʻiate koe; te ne kai hoʻo fua, pea te nau inu hoʻo huʻahuhu.

Therefore, lo, I am giving thee to sons of the east for a possession, And they set their towers in thee, And have placed in thee their tabernacles. They eat thy fruit, and they drink thy milk,

5 Pea te u ngaohi ʻa Lepaa ko e fale kāmeli, pea ko ʻAmoni ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe fanga sipi; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.

And I have given Rabbah for a habitation of camels, And the sons of Ammon for the crouching of a flock, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

6 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; koeʻuhi kuo ke pasi ho nima, mo malaki ʻaki ho vaʻe, pea ke fiefia ʻi loto, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fehiʻa lahi ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli;

For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy clapping the hand, And of thy stamping with the foot, And thou rejoicest with all thy despite in soul Against the ground of Israel,

7 Vakai, ko ia ia te u mafao atu ai hoku nima kiate koe, pea te u tuku koe ke veteki ʻe he kakai hiteni; pea te u motuhi ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai, pea te u pule ke ke ʻosiʻosi mei he ngaahi fonua: Te u fakaʻauha koe; pea te ke ʻilo ko Sihova au.”

Therefore, lo, I — I have stretched out My hand against thee, And have given thee for a portion to nations, And I have cut thee off from the peoples, And caused thee to perish from the lands; I destroy thee, and thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.

8 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: “Koeʻuhi ʻoku pehē ʻe Moape, pea mo Seia, Vakai, ʻoku tatau ʻae fale ʻo Siuta mo e hiteni kotoa pē;

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of the saying of Moab and Seir: Lo, as all the nations [is] the house of Judah;

9 Ko ia, vakai, Te u fakaava ʻae feituʻu ʻo Moape mei hono ngaahi kolo, ʻae kolo ʻoku ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo hono fonua, ʻaia ko e ongoongolelei ʻoe fonua, ʻa Pete-Sesimote mo Pealimeoni, mo Kiliatemi,

Therefore, lo, I am opening the shoulder of Moab — From the cities — from his cities — from his frontier, The beauty of the land, Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim,

10 Ki he kakai mei he potu hahake ke nau maʻu ia mo e kau ʻAmoni, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe manatuʻi ʻae kau ʻAmoni ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.

To the sons of the east, with the sons of Ammon, And I have given it for a possession, So that the sons of Ammon are not remembered among nations.

11 Pea te u fai ʻae tautea ki Moape pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”

And in Moab I do judgments, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.

12 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ko e meʻa kuo fai ʻe ʻItomi ki he fale ʻo Siuta ʻi heʻene tautea ia, pea kuo ne fai hala ʻaupito, mo fakafāsifasi ia kiate kinautolu;

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of the doings of Edom, In taking vengeance on the house of Judah, Yea, they are very guilty, And they have taken vengeance on them.

13 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Te u mafao atu foki ʻeau ʻa hoku nima ki ʻItomi, pea te u fakaʻosi mei ai ʻae tangata pea mo e manu; pea te u ngaohi ia ke lala ʻo fai mei Temani; pea ʻe hinga ʻi he heletā ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻo Temani.

Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have stretched out My hand against Edom, And I have cut off from it man and beast, And given it up — a waste, from Teman even to Dedan, By sword they do fall.

14 Pea te u ʻai ke hilifaki ʻa hoku houhau ki ʻItomi ʻi he nima ʻo hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli; pea te nau fai ki ʻItomi ʻo hangē ko hoku houhau, pea fakatatau mo ʻeku tuputāmaki; pea te nau ʻilo ʻa hoku houhau,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

And I have given My vengeance on Edom, By the hand of My people Israel, And they have done in Edom, According to My anger, and according to My fury, And they have known My vengeance, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

15 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Koeʻuhi kuo fai fakafasifasi ʻae kau Filisitia, ʻonau fai ʻae tautea mo e loto fehiʻa, ke fakaʻauha ia ʻi he fehiʻa ʻe ʻikai ngata;

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of the doings of the Philistines in vengeance, And they take vengeance with despite in soul, To destroy — the enmity age-during!

16 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, te u mafao atu ʻeau hoku nima ki he kakai Filisitia, pea teu motuhi ʻae kakai Keliti, mo fakaʻauha ʻa hono toe ʻoku ʻi he matātahi.

Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am stretching out My hand against the Philistines, And I have cut off the Cherethim, And destroyed the remnant of the haven of the sea,

17 Pea te u fai ʻae totongi lahi kiate kinautolu mo e valoki kakaha; pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka tuku atu hoku houhau kiate kinautolu.”

And done upon them great vengeance with furious reproofs, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving out My vengeance on them!
