Selemaia 23

1 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE malaʻia ʻae kau tauhi ʻaia ʻoku fakaʻauha mo fakamovetevete ʻae fanga sipi ʻo ʻeku ngoue!

Woe to! [the] shepherds [who] are causing to stray and [who are] scattering [the] flock of pasture my [the] utterance of Yahweh.

2 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ki he kau tauhi ʻoku fafanga ʻa hoku kakai; “Kuo mou fakamovetevete ʻeku fanga sipi, ʻo kapusi ʻakinautolu, pea kuo ʻikai ʻaʻahi ʻakinautolu: vakai, te u tautea ʻakimoutolu koeʻuhi ko e kovi ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi faianga, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

Therefore thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel on the shepherds who are shepherding people my you you have scattered flock my and you have driven away them and not you have paid attention to them here I [am] about to visit on you [the] wickedness of deeds your [the] utterance of Yahweh.

3 Pea te u tānaki hono toe ʻo ʻeku fanga sipi mei he ngaahi potu kotoa pē kuo u kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai, pea te u toe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau lotoʻā; pea te nau fānau mo fakatupu.

And I I will gather together [the] remnant of flock my from all the lands where I have banished them there and I will bring back them to pasture their and they will be fruitful and they will increase.

4 Pea te u fakanofo kiate kinautolu ʻae kau tauhi ʻaia ʻe fafanga ʻakinautolu: pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe manavahē, pe vaivai, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau masiva, he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”

And I will raise up over them shepherds and they will shepherd them and not they will be afraid again and not they will be terrified and not they will be missing [the] utterance of Yahweh.

5 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia te u fakatupu ai kia Tevita ʻae vaʻa angatonu, pea ʻe pule mo monūʻia ha tuʻi, pea ʻe fai ʻae fakamaau mo e angatonu ʻi he fonua.

Here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will raise up for David a branch righteous and he will reign a king and he will act prudently and he will do justice and righteousness in the land.

6 ‌ʻE fakamoʻui ʻa Siuta, pea ʻe nofo fiemālie ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho ko ia: pea ko hono huafa eni ʻe ui ai ia, KO SIHOVA KO HOTAU MĀʻONIʻONI.

In days his it will be saved Judah and Israel it will dwell to security and this [will be] name his which anyone will call him Yahweh - [is] righteousness our.

7 “Ko ia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai te nau toe pehē ai, ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and not people will say again [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he brought up [the] people of Israel from [the] land of Egypt.

8 Ka, ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi mo tataki mai ʻae hako ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli mei he fonua ʻi he tokelau, pea mei he potu kotoa pē naʻaku kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai; pea te nau nofo ʻi honau fonua ʻonautolu.”

That except [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he brought up and who he brought [the] offspring of [the] house of Israel from a land north-ward and from all the lands where I banished them there and they will dwell on own land their.

9 Kuo mafōfoa hoku loto ʻiate au, koeʻuhi ko e kau palōfita: ʻoku tetetete hoku ngaahi hui; ʻoku ou hangē ko e tangata konā, pea hangē ko e tangata kuo ikuna ʻe he uaine, koeʻuhi ko Sihova, mo ʻene ngaahi folofola māʻoniʻoni.

Of the prophets it is broken heart my in inner being my they have become weak all bones my I have become like a person drunken and like a man [whom] it has passed over him wine because of Yahweh and because of [the] words of holiness his.

10 He kuo fonu ʻae fonua ʻi he kau feʻauaki; pea ʻoku mamahi ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ko e kapekape; kuo mōmoa ʻae ngaahi potu ngoue ʻi he toafa, ʻoku kovi honau hala, pea ʻoku taʻetotonu ʻenau fakamālohi.

For adulterers it is full the land for because of a curse it has dried up the land they have become dry [the] pastures of [the] wilderness and it has become course [of life] their evil and strength their [is] not right.

11 “He ʻoku halaia ʻae palōfita mo e taulaʻeiki fakatouʻosi; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻenau kovi ʻi hoku fale.

For both prophet as well as priest they are polluted also in house my I have found wickedness their [the] utterance of Yahweh.

12 Ko ia ʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻa honau hala ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi hala kehekehe mo fakapoʻuli: pea ʻe tekeʻi atu ʻakinautolu, pea te nau hinga ai: he te u ʻomi ʻae kovi kiate kinautolu, ʻio, ko e taʻu ʻa honau tautea, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova:

Therefore it will become path their for them like slippery places in the darkness they will be pushed down and they will fall on it for I will bring on them calamity [the] year of punishment their [the] utterance of Yahweh.

13 Pea kuo u mamata ki he vale ʻi he kau palōfita ʻo Samēlia; he kuo nau kikite ia Peali, pea nau fakahalaia ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli.

And among [the] prophets of Samaria I saw offensiveness they prophesied by Baal and they caused to err people my Israel.

14 Pea ʻi he kau palōfita ʻo Selūsalema, kuo u mamata foki ki he meʻa fakailifia: kuo nau fai feʻauaki, pea ʻaʻeva ʻi he ngaahi loi: kuo nau tokoni foki ʻae nima ʻoe kau fai kovi, pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai tafoki ai ha taha mei heʻene angahala: kuo nau hoko kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko Sotoma kiate au, pea mo hono kakai ʻo hangē ko Komola.

And among [the] prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible [thing] they have committed adultery and they have walked in falsehood and they have strengthened [the] hands of evil-doers to not they have turned away anyone from evil his they have become to me all of them like Sodom and inhabitants its like Gomorrah.

15 “Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau koeʻuhi ko e kau palōfita: Vakai, te u fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae ʻakau kona, pea te u foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae huhuʻa ʻoe ʻahu ke nau inu: he kuo ʻalu atu ʻae kākā ki he fonua kotoa pē, mei he kau palōfita ʻo Selūsalema.”

Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts on the prophets here I [am] about to make eat them wormwood and I will make drink them water of poison for from with [the] prophets of Jerusalem it has gone out wicked behavior to all the land.

16 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻOua naʻa fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻae kau palōfita, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kikite kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku nau fielahiʻi ʻakimoutolu: ʻoku nau lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa ʻi honau loto, ka ʻoku ʻikai mei he fofonga ʻo Sihova.

Thus he says Yahweh of hosts may not you listen to [the] words of the prophets who are prophesying to you [are] deluding they you [the] vision of own heart their they speak not from [the] mouth of Yahweh.

17 ‌ʻOku nau kei lea pehē kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au, naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, Te mou fiemālie; pea ʻoku nau lea pehē kiate kinautolu taki taha ʻoku muimui ki he holi ʻa hono loto, ʻE ʻikai hoko ha kovi kiate kimoutolu.”

[they are] saying Continually to [those who] despise me he says Yahweh peace it will belong to you and every [one who] walks in [the] stubbornness of own heart his they have said not it will come on you calamity.

18 “He ko hai naʻe tuʻu ʻi he potu lilo ʻa Sihova, ke ne ʻilo mo fanongo ki heʻene folofola? Ko hai kuo fanongo ki heʻene folofola, mo tokanga ki ai?

For who? has he stood in [the] council of Yahweh so he may see and he may hear word his who? has he paid attention to (word his *Q(K)*) and has he listened?

19 Vakai, kuo ʻalu atu ʻia Sihova ʻae matangi ʻahiohio ʻi he houhau, ko e matangi ʻahiohio ʻoku fonu ʻi he kovi: pea ʻe tō lahi ia ki he ʻulu ʻoe angahala.

There! - [the] storm of Yahweh rage it has gone out and a storm whirling on [the] head of wicked [people] it will whirl about.

20 ‌ʻE ʻikai tafoki ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova kaeʻoua ke ne fai, mo fakaʻosi kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ne finangalo ki ai: pea te mou ʻilo lahi ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui.”

Not it will turn back [the] anger of Yahweh until has brought about he and until has carried out he [the] purposes of heart his at [the] end of the days you will understand it understanding.

21 Naʻe ʻikai te u fekau ʻae kau palōfita na, ka naʻa nau lele: naʻe ʻikai te u lea kiate kinautolu, ka kuo nau kikite.

Not I sent the prophets and they they ran not I spoke to them and they they prophesied.

22 Kapau naʻa nau tuʻumaʻu ʻi heʻeku fakakaukau, pea fakahā ki hoku kakai ʻeku ngaahi lea, pehē te nau toki fakatafoki ʻakinautolu mei honau hala kovi, pea mei he kovi ʻo ʻenau ngaahi faianga.”

And if they had stood in council my so they may cause to hear words my people my and they will turn back them from way their wicked and from [the] wickedness of deeds their.

23 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko e ʻOtua au ʻoe ofi pe, pea ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ʻoe mamaʻo foki?

¿ A God from near [am] I [the] utterance of Yahweh and not a God from a distance.

24 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE faʻa fakafufū ia ʻe ha taha ʻi ha ngaahi potu lilo ke ʻoua naʻaku ʻilo ia? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, He ʻoku ʻikai fonu ʻae langi mo māmani ʻiate au?

Or? will he hide himself anyone in hiding places and I not I will see him [the] utterance of Yahweh ¿ not the heavens and the earth [am] I filling [the] utterance of Yahweh.

25 Kuo u fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻe he kau palōfita, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kikite loi ʻi hoku huafa, ʻo pehē, kuo u misi, kuo u misi.

I have heard [that] which they have said the prophets who prophesy in name my falsehood saying I have dreamed I have dreamed.

26 ‌ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻoe meʻa ni ʻi he loto ʻoe kau palōfita ʻoku kikite ʻaki ʻae ngaahi loi? ʻio, ko e kau palōfita ʻoku kākā mei honau loto;

Until when? ¿ [is] there in [the] heart of the prophets [who] prophesy falsehood and [the] prophets of [the] deceitfulness of own heart their.

27 ‌ʻAkinautolu ni ʻoku fie fakangaloʻi fakangaloʻi hoku huafa ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai koeʻuhi ko Peali.

Who plan to make forget people my name my by dreams their which they recount each to neighbor his just as they forgot ancestors their name my for Baal.

28 Ko e palōfita ʻoku maʻu ha misi tuku ke ne lea ʻaki ʻae misi; pea ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻeku folofola, tuku ke ne lea moʻoni ʻaki ʻeku folofola ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Ko e hā ʻae kafukafu ʻi he uite?

The prophet whom [is] with him a dream let him recount [the] dream and whom word my [is] with him let him speak word my faithfulness what? [belongs] to the straw with the grain [the] utterance of Yahweh.

29 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; ʻIkai ʻoku tatau ʻeku folofola mo e afi? Pea hangē ko e hamala ke tā mo laiki ʻaki ʻae maka?

¿ Not thus [is] word my like fire [the] utterance of Yahweh and like a hammer [which] it shatters rock.

30 Ko ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he palōfita, ʻoku nau taki taha kaihaʻa ʻeku lea mei hono kaungāʻapi

Therefore here I [am] on the prophets [the] utterance of Yahweh [who] steal words my each from with neighbor his.

31 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he kau palōfita, ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau lea ʻaki honau ʻelelo, ʻo pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe ia.

Here I [am] on the prophets [the] utterance of Yahweh who take tongue their and they have uttered an utterance.

32 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻoku ou fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻoku kikite ʻaki ʻae ngaahi misi kākā, pea lea ʻaki ia, pea fakahalaʻi ʻa hoku kakai ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi loi, mo e kākā; ka naʻe ʻikai te u tala ke nau ʻalu, pe fekau ʻakinautolu: ko ia ʻe ʻikai siʻi te nau momoʻi ʻaonga ki he kakai ni, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”

Here I [am] on [those who] prophesy dreams of falsehood [the] utterance of Yahweh and they have recounted them and they caused to err people my by falsehoods their and by recklessness their and I not I sent them and not I appointed them and certainly not they benefit the people this [the] utterance of Yahweh.

33 Pea ʻoka fehuʻi kiate koe, ʻae kakai ni, pe ha palōfita, pe ha taulaʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae lea mamafa meia Sihova? Te ke pehē leva kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e lea mamafa ʻoe hā?’ ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko e moʻoni te u liʻaki ʻakimoutolu.’

And if it will ask you the people this or the prophet or a priest saying what? [is] [the] burden of Yahweh and you will say to them what? burden and I will abandon you [the] utterance of Yahweh.

34 Pea ko e palōfita, mo e taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kakai, ʻaia te nau pehē, ‘Ko e lea mamafa meia Sihova, Te u tautea ʻae tangata ko ia mo hono fale.’

And the prophet and the priest and the people who he will say [the] burden of Yahweh and I will visit [judgment] on the person that and on house his.

35 Pea te mou taki taha fepehēʻaki ki hono kaungāʻapi, pea taki taha ki hono tokoua, ‘Ko e hā ʻae tala ʻa Sihova?’ Pea, ‘Ko e hā kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova?’

Thus you will say each to neighbor his and each to brother his what? did he answer Yahweh and what? did he say Yahweh.

36 Pea ʻe ʻikai te mou toe lea ki he lea mamafa meia Sihova: he ko e lea ʻae tangata taki taha ko ʻene kavenga ia; he kuo mou fakakehe ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua moʻui, ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ko hotau ʻOtua.

And [the] burden of Yahweh not you will remember again for the burden it is for a person own word his and you change [the] words of God living Yahweh of hosts God our.

37 Pea te ke lea pehē ki he palōfita, ‘Ko e hā ʻae tali ʻa Sihova kiate koe?’ Pea, ‘Ko e hā kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova?’

Thus you will say to the prophet what? did he answer you Yahweh and what? did he say Yahweh.

38 Ka ʻi hoʻomou pehē mai, ‘Ko e lea mamafa meia Sihova;’ ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi ʻoku mou lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni, ‘Ko e tala mamafa meia Sihova,’ pea kuo u fekau kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻa mou pehē, ‘Ko e lea mamafa meia Sihova?’

And if [the] burden of Yahweh you will say therefore thus he says Yahweh because have spoken you the word this [the] burden of Yahweh and I sent to you saying not you must say [the] burden of Yahweh.

39 Ko ia, Vakai, Ko au, ʻIo, Ko au, te u fakangalongaloʻi ʻaupito ʻakimoutolu, pea te u liʻaki ʻakimoutolu, pea mo e kolo naʻaku foaki kiate kimoutolu mo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea te u kapusi ʻakimoutolu ʻi hoku ʻao:

Therefore here [am] I and I will surely you lift up and I will abandon you and the city which I gave to you and to ancestors your from on face my.

40 Pea te u fakaongoongo koviʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻo taʻengata, pea fakatupu kiate kimoutolu ʻae mā ʻo taʻengata, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai fakangalongaloʻi.”

And I will put on you a reproach of perpetuity and shame of perpetuity which not it will be forgotten.
