ʻIsikieli 32

1 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu, ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 Foha ʻoe tangata, te ke fai ha tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea ke pehē kiate ia, ʻOku ke hangē koe ko e laione mui ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea ʻoku ke hangē ko e tofuaʻa ʻi he tahi, pea naʻa ke haʻu koe mei ho ngaahi vaitafe, pea kuo ke fakangaueʻi ʻae vai ʻaki ho vaʻe, mo ke fakaʻuliʻi honau ngaahi vaitafe.

Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou didst deem thyself like a young lion among the nations: while thou art as a crocodile in the seas; and thou issuedst forth with thy rivers, and madest turbid the waters with thy feet, and didst stir up their rivers.

3 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ko ia ia te u folahi atu ai hoku kupenga kiate koe mo e niʻihi mei he kakai tokolahi; pea te nau fusi hake koe ʻi hoku kupenga.

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will therefore spread out my net over thee through the assemblage of many people, and they shall draw thee up in my net.

4 Pea te u toki liʻaki koe ʻi he fonua, pea te u lī atu koe ki he ʻataʻatā ʻoe vao, pea ʻe heka kiate koe ʻae manupuna kotoa pē ʻoe langi, pea te u fakamākona ʻaki koe ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻo māmani.

Then will I cast thee upon the land, upon the open field will I hurl thee, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to dwell upon thee, and I will satisfy off thee the beasts of all the earth.

5 Pea te u ʻai ho kakano ki he ngaahi moʻunga, mo fakapito ʻaki ho ʻangaʻanga ʻae ngaahi teleʻa.

And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy carcass.

6 Te u lōmakiʻi foki ʻae fonua ʻoku ke tētē ai ʻaki ʻae toto, ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi moʻunga; pea ʻe pito ai ʻae ngaahi vaitafe.

I will also saturate the land wherein thou swimmest with thy blood, even to the mountains; and the ravines shall be full of thee.

7 Pea kau ka ifi koe ke mate te u ʻuʻufi ʻae langi, mo ngaohi ke fakapoʻuli hono ngaahi fetuʻu; te u ʻufiʻufi ʻae laʻā ʻaki ʻae ʻao, pea ʻe ʻikai tuku mai ʻe he māhina ʻa hono maama.

And I will cover up the heavens, when thou art quenched, and make their stars obscure: the sun will I cover up with a cloud, and the moon shall not let shine her light.

8 Te u ngaohi ke poʻuli kiate koe ʻae ngaahi maama ngingila kotoa pē ʻoe langi, pea ʻe ai mo e fakapoʻuli ki ho fonua, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

All the light-dispensing lights of the heavens—these will I make obscure because of thee, and I will lay darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord Eternal.

9 Te u fakamamahi foki ʻae loto ʻoe kakai tokolahi, ʻo kau ka ʻave ho kau pōpula ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, ki he ngaahi fonua ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻiloʻi.

And I will aggrieve the heart of many people, when I bring those who are broken off from thee among the nations, into countries which thou hast not known.

10 ‌ʻIo, te u fakatupu ʻae ofo kiate koe ʻi he kakai lahi, pea ʻe lilika fakamanavahē honau ngaahi tuʻi, koeʻuhi ko koe, ʻo kau ka vilo ʻeku heletā ʻi honau ʻao; pea te nau tetetete maʻuaipē taki taha ʻae tangata, telia ʻa ʻene moʻui ʻaʻana, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te ke hinga ai.”

Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and on their kings the hair shall stand on end because of thee, when I brandish my sword before their faces: and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, on the day of thy downfall.

11 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻE hoko mai kiate koe ʻae heletā ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone.

For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, The sword of the king of Babylon shall come over thee.

12 Te u fakahinga ʻae tokolahi ʻiate koe ʻi he heletā ʻae kau mālohi, ko e kau toʻa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga: pea te nau maumauʻi ʻae fieʻeiki ʻa ʻIsipite, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻa hono kakai kotoa pē.

By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the fiercest of nations are all of them: and they shall destroy the pride of Egypt, and all her multitude shall be annihilated.

13 Te u fakaʻosiʻosi foki ʻae ngaahi manu kotoa pē ʻi ai, ʻi hono ngaahi veʻe vai; pea ʻe ʻikai toe fakangaueʻi ia ʻe he vaʻe ʻoe tangata, pe fakangaueʻi ia ʻe he vaʻe ʻo ha fanga manu.

And I will cause to vanish all her beasts from beside the great waters; and the foot of man shall not make them turbid any more, nor shall the hoofs of beasts make them turbid.

14 Pea te u toki ʻai ke loloto, ʻenau ngaahi vai, pea te u ngaohi ʻenau ngaahi vaitafe ke tafe hangē ko e lolo, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

Then will I make clear their waters, and cause their rivers to flow like oil, saith the Lord Eternal;

15 ‌ʻO kau ka fakaʻauha ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea ka masiva ʻae fonua ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe mahu ai, ʻo kau ka teʻia kotoa pē ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ai, te nau toki ʻilo, ko Sihova au.

When I render the land of Egypt desolate and wasted, the country bereft of what now filleth it, when I smite all those that dwell therein: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

16 Ko eni ʻae tangilāulau, ʻaia te nau tangi mamahi ai koeʻuhi ko ia: ʻe mamahi koeʻuhi ko ia ʻae ʻofefine ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga: te nau mamahi koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻio, ʻa ʻIsipite, pea mo hono kakai kotoa pē, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”

This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament for her; the daughters of the nations shall lament for her: for Egypt, and for all her multitude, shall they lament with it, saith the Lord Eternal.

17 Naʻe pehē foki ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu, mo hono hongofulu ma nima ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he māhina, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

And it came to pass in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

18 “Foha ʻoe tangata, tangi mamahi koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻo ʻIsipite, pea lī hifo ʻakinautolu ki lalo, ʻaia mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe puleʻanga ongoongo, ʻo aʻu ki he potu māʻulalo ʻo māmani, fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo.

Son of man, moan for the multitude of Egypt, and say that it shall go down, yea, she, and the daughters of powerful nations, unto the land of the nether world, with those that go down to the pit.

19 ‌ʻOku ke toulekeleka, lahi hake koe ʻia hai? ʻAlu hifo, pea ke tokoto fakataha hifo mo e kau taʻekamu.

Whom dost thou surpass in loveliness? go down [then], and be thou laid with the [other] uncircumcised.

20 Te nau tō hifo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻonautolu ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā: kuo tukuange ia ki he heletā; tohoaki ia, pea mo hono kakai kotoa pē.

In the midst of those that are slain by the sword shall they fall: to the sword is she given up; drag her away and all her multitudes.

21 ‌ʻE lea mai kiate ia ʻae mālohi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku mālohi mei loto heli, mo kinautolu kuo tokoni kiate ia: kuo nau mole hifo, kuo nau tokoto ko e taʻekamu, ko e kau tāmateʻi ʻe he heletā. (Sheol h7585)

Then will speak of him the strongest among the mighty out of the midst of the nether world with those that once helped him, They are gone down, there lie the uncircumcised, —slain by the sword. (Sheol h7585)

22 ‌ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa ʻAsilia mo hono kakai kotoa pē: ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia hono faʻitoka: kuo nau mate kotoa pē, ko e tō ʻi he heletā:

There is Asshur and all his assemblage; round about him are his graves; all of them the slain that are fallen by the sword;

23 ‌ʻAia ʻoku tuʻu hono faʻitoka ʻi he tafaʻaki luo, pea ʻoku tuʻu takatakai hono kakai ʻi hono faʻitoka: kuo mate kotoa pē ʻakinautolu ko e tō ʻi he heletā, ʻaia naʻe fakamanavahē ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau kei ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.

Whose graves are placed in the lowest depth of the pit, and his assemblage is round about his grave; all of them are slain, fallen by the sword, who once spread terror in the land of the living.

24 ‌ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa ʻIlami mo hono kakai, ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻi hono faʻitoka, ko e kau mate kotoa pē ʻakinautolu, ko e tō ʻi he heletā, kuo nau ʻalu hifo ki he potu māʻulalo ʻo māmani fakataha mo e taʻekamu, ʻakinautolu naʻa nau manavahē ki ai, ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui; ka kuo nau fua pe ʻenau mā fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo.

There is 'Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them the slain, that are fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised into the land of the nether world, who once spread their terror in the land of the living; and they have borne their confusion with those that go down to the pit.

25 Kuo nau tuku hono mohenga ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kau mate tāmateʻi mo hono kakai kotoa pē: ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia hono ngaahi faʻitoka: ko e kau taʻekamu kotoa pē ʻakinautolu, kuo tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā: neongo ʻae manavahē kiate ia ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui, ka kuo nau fua pe ʻenau mā fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo: kuo ʻai fakataha ia mo kinautolu kuo tāmateʻi.

In the midst of the slain have they set a couch for her with all her multitude; all round about are her graves; all of them are uncircumcised, slain by the sword; because their terror was once spread in the land of the living; and they have borne their confusion with those that go down to the pit: in the midst of the slain was she placed.

26 ‌ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa Meseke, mo Tupale, pea mo ʻene kakai: ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia hono ngaahi faʻitoka: ko e kau taʻekamu kotoa pē ʻakinautolu, kuo tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā, neongo naʻa nau fai fakamanavahē ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.

There is Meshech, Thubal, and all her multitude; all round about her are her graves: all of them are the uncircumcised, slain by the sword; because they once spread their terror in the land of the living.

27 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau tokoto fakataha mo e kau toʻa kuo hinga ʻi he kau taʻekamu, ʻakinautolu kuo ʻalu hifo ki heli mo ʻenau mahafutau: pea kuo nau ʻai ʻenau heletā ki lalo ʻi honau ʻulu, ka ʻe ʻiate kinautolu pe ʻenau ngaahi hia, neongo ko e kau fakamanavahē ʻakinautolu ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui ki he kakai mālohi. (Sheol h7585)

And those who are fallen of the uncircumcised shall not lie with the mighty, who are gone down to the nether world with their weapons of war, while men laid their swords under their heads, and the [instruments of] their iniquities were upon their bones; for the terror of the mighty was in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)

28 Ko e moʻoni, ʻe haʻaki koe ke lailai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kau taʻekamu, pea te ke tokoto fakataha mo kinautolu kuo tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā.

But thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with those that are slain by the sword.

29 Ko ʻena ʻa ʻItomi, mo hono ngaahi tuʻi, mo hono houʻeiki, ko kinautolu mo ʻenau mālohi kuo fakatokoto fakataha mo kinautolu kuo tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā: te nau tokoto fakataha mo e kau taʻekamu, mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo.

There are Edom, her kings, and all her princes, who are laid despite their prowess by those that are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with those that go down to the pit.

30 ‌ʻOku ʻi ai ʻae houʻeiki mei he potu tokelau ʻoku nau kātoa, mo e kakai Saitoni kotoa pē, kuo tō hifo fakataha mo e kau mate tāmateʻi; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau lilika, kuo nau mā ki heʻenau mālohi; pea ʻoku nau tokoto ko e kau taʻekamu fakataha mo kinautolu kuo tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā, pea te nau fua ʻenau mā fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo.

There are the chieftains of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, who are gone down with the slain: despite the terror they excited through their prowess are they made ashamed; and they lie uncircumcised with those that are slain by the sword, and bear their confusion with those that go down to the pit.

31 ‌ʻE mamata ʻa Felo kiate kinautolu, pea ʻe fiefia ia mo hono kakai kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻa Felo mo ʻene kautau kotoa pē naʻe tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

These shall Pharaoh see, and he shall be comforted over all his multitude: slain by the sword are Pharaoh and all his army, saith the Lord Eternal.

32 He kuo tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae heletā, ʻio, ʻa Felo mo hono kakai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

For I spread my terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with those that are slain by the sword, —yea, Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Eternal.
