Selemaia 20

1 Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Pasuli ko e foha ʻo Imeli ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻaia foki ko e fungani pule ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe kikite ʻa Selemaia ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.

Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.

2 Naʻe toki taaʻi ʻe Pasuli ʻa Selemaia ko e palōfita, pea tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula ʻaia naʻe ʻi he matapā māʻolunga ʻo Penisimani, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he fale ʻo Sihova.

Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the Upper Gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of the LORD.

3 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe ʻomi ʻe Pasuli ʻa Selemaia mei he fale fakapōpula. Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Selemaia kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai ui ʻe Sihova ho hingoa ko Pasuli ka ‘ko Mekoa-Misapipi.’

It happened on the next day, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, "The LORD has not called your name 'Pashhur,' but 'Magor-Missabib.'

4 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Vakai, te u ngaohi koe ko e meʻa ilifia kiate koe, pea mo ho kāinga kotoa pē: pea te nau tō ʻi he heletā ʻo honau ngaahi fili, pea ʻe mamata ki ai ho mata: pea te u tukuange ʻa Siuta kotoa pē ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te ne ʻave fakapōpula ʻakinautolu ki Papilone, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae heletā.

For thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword.

5 Pea te u tukuange ʻae mālohi kotoa pē ʻoe kolo ni, pea mo ʻenau ngāue kotoa pē, mo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa maʻungataʻa kotoa pē, pea mo e ngaahi koloa kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta te u tukuange ki he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili, ʻaia ʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe toʻo ʻakinautolu mo ʻave ʻakinautolu ki Papilone.

Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all the precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.

6 Pea ko koe Pasuli, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi ho fale ʻe ʻave fakapōpula: pea te ke aʻu ki Papilone, pea te ke mate ai, pea tanu ai, ko koe, mo ho ngaahi kāinga, ʻakinautolu kuo ke kikite loi ki ai.’”

You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.'"

7 ʻE Sihova, kuo ke akonakiʻi au, pea kuo u tui ki hoʻo akonaki: ʻoku ke mālohi ʻiate au, pea kuo ke lavaʻi: Ko e manukiʻanga au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea ʻoku nau manuki kotoa pē kiate au.

LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I am, and have prevailed. I have become a laughing-stock all day long; everyone mocks me.

8 ‌ʻO kau ka lea, kuo u kalanga, kuo u kalanga, “Ko e fakamālohi mo e maumauʻi;” koeʻuhi kuo ngaohi ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ko e meʻa ongoongo kovi kiate au, pea ko e manukiʻanga, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, "Violence and destruction." because the word of the LORD is made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day.

9 Pea naʻaku pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u toe lea kiate ia, pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe lea ʻi hono huafa.” Ka naʻe tatau ʻene folofola ʻi hoku loto mo e afi vela kuo ʻufia ʻi hoku ngaahi hui, pea naʻaku fiu ʻi he taʻofi, pea naʻe ʻikai teu faʻa fakalongo pe.

If I say, "I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name," then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I can't contain it.

10 He kuo u fanongo ki he lea launoa pe ʻoe tokolahi, ke ke fakahā ʻae fakailifia ʻi he potu kotoa pē, pea te mau fakahā ia: naʻe ʻamanaki ʻa hoku kāinga tokolahi ki heʻeku hinga, pea naʻe pehē, “Heiʻilo ʻe tauheleʻi nai ia, pea te tau mālohi kiate ia, pea te tau tautea kiate ia.”

For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. "Denounce, and we will denounce him," say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall; "perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him."

11 Ka ʻoku ʻiate au ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha mālohi fakamanavahē: ko ia ʻe tūkia ʻa hoku kau fakatanga, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau mālohi: te nau mā lahi; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te nau monūʻia: ʻe ʻikai fakangaloʻi ʻenau mā ʻo taʻengata.

But the LORD is with me as an awesome mighty one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.

12 ‌ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻa koe, ʻoku ke ʻahiʻahi ʻae angatonu, pea ʻiloʻi ʻae ngaahi mahalo pea mo e loto, tuku ke u mamata ki ho houhau kiate kinautolu: he kuo u fakahā ʻeku meʻa kiate koe.

But, the LORD of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause.

13 Mou hiva kia Sihova, mou fakamālō kia Sihova: he kuo ne fakahaofi ʻae laumālie ʻoe masiva mei he nima ʻoe kau fai kovi.

Sing to the LORD, praise the LORD; for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.

14 Ke malaʻia ʻae ʻaho naʻaku fāʻeleʻi ai: pea ʻoua naʻa monūʻia ʻae ʻaho naʻe fāʻeleʻi ai au ʻe heʻeku faʻē.

Cursed is the day in which I was born: do not let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.

15 Ke malaʻia ʻae tangata naʻe fakahā au ki heʻeku tamai, ʻo pehē, “Kuo fāʻeleʻi kiate koe ʻae tamasiʻi tangata, ke fakafiefiaʻi ia.”

Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, A boy is born to you; making him very glad.

16 Ke tatau ʻae tangata ko ia mo e ngaahi kolo ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai fakatomala: ke fanongo ia ki he kaila ʻi he pongipongi, pea mo e kalanga ʻi he hoʻatā;

Let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and did not repent: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;

17 Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne tāmateʻi au ʻi he manāva; pea u faʻitoka ʻaki ʻeku faʻē, pea u nofomaʻu ʻi hono manāva.

because he did not kill me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.

18 Ko e hā naʻaku haʻu ai mei he manāva ke ʻilo ʻae ongosia mo e mamahi, pea ke fakaʻosi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he mā?

Why came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
