Selemaia 27

1 ‌ʻI he kamataʻanga ʻoe pule ʻa Sihoiakimi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe haʻu ʻae folofola ni meia Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

2 “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova kiate au; Ke ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi haʻi mo e ngaahi haʻamo, ʻo ʻai ia ki ho kia,

Thus saith the LORD to me; Make for thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,

3 pea fekau ke ʻave ia ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi, pea mo e tuʻi ʻo Moape, pea mo e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoni, pea mo e tuʻi ʻo Taia, pea mo e tuʻi ʻo Saitone, ʻi he nima ʻoe kau talafekau ʻaia ʻoku haʻu ki Selūsalema, kia Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta;

And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;

4 pea fekau ʻakinautolu ke lea ki honau houʻeiki,” ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; “Ke mou lea pehē ki homou houʻeiki;

And command them to say to their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to your masters;

5 Kuo u ngaohi ʻa māmani, mo e tangata, pea mo e manu ʻoku ʻi ho funga fonua, ʻaki ʻeku mālohi lahi, mo hoku nima mafao, pea kuo u foaki ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku ou loto ki ai.

I have made the earth, the man and the beast that [are] upon the ground, by my great power and by my out-stretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed meet to me.

6 Pea ko eni kuo u foaki ʻae ngaahi fonua ni kotoa pē ki he nima ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki; pea mo e ngaahi manu ʻoe ngoue kuo u foaki foki kiate ia ke tauhi ʻaki ia.

And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.

7 Pea ʻe tauhi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ki hono foha, pea mo e foha ʻo hono foha, ʻo aʻu ki he hoko mai ʻae ʻaho ʻo hono fonua: pea ʻe toki pule kiate ia ʻe he kakai tokolahi, mo e ngaahi tuʻi lahi ke ne tauhi ʻakinautolu.

And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land shall come: and then many nations and great kings shall bring him into subjection.

8 “Pea ʻe hoko ia ʻo pehē, ko e kakai mo e puleʻanga ʻaia ʻe ʻikai fie tauhi kia Nepukanesa ko ia, ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea ʻe ʻikai fie ʻai ʻae haʻamonga ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki honau kia, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, te u tautea ʻaki ʻae kakai ko ia ʻae heletā mo e honge, mo e mahaki fakaʻauha, kaeʻoua ke fakaʻosi ʻakinautolu ʻi hono nima.

And it shall come to pass, [that] the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

9 Ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou fanongo ki hoʻomou kau palōfita, pe ki hoʻomou kau kikite, pe ki hoʻomou kau misi, pe ki hoʻomou kau sio ki langi, pe ki hoʻomou kau fiemana, ʻakinautolu ʻoku lea kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te mou tauhi ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone.

Therefore hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:

10 He ʻoku nau kikite loi kiate kimoutolu, ke ʻave mamaʻo ʻakimoutolu mei homou fonua; koeʻuhi te u kapusi ʻakimoutolu, pea te mou ʻauha.

For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.

11 Ka ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia ʻe ʻai ʻae haʻamonga ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki honau kia, pea tauhi ia, te u tuku ke nofo ʻakinautolu ʻi honau fonua, pea te nau ngoueʻi ia, pea nofo ai.”

But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell in it.

12 Pea naʻaku lea foki kia Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Mou ʻai ʻae haʻamonga ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki homou kia, pea tauhi ia mo hono kakai, ke mou moʻui.

I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

13 Ko e hā ʻoku mou fie mate ai, ko koe mo hoʻo kakai, ʻi he heletā, mo e honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ki he kakai ʻoku ʻikai fie tauhi ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone?

Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

14 Ko ia ʻoua naʻa fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻae kau palōfita ʻoku lea kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te mou tauhi ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone: he ʻoku nau kikite loi kiate kimoutolu.

Therefore hearken not to the words of the prophets that speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

15 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, naʻe ʻikai te u fekau ʻakinautolu, ka ʻoku nau kikite loi ʻi hoku huafa; koeʻuhi ke u kapusi ʻakimoutolu, pea te mou ʻauha, ko kimoutolu pea mo e kau palōfita ʻoku kikite kiate kimoutolu.”

For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy to you.

16 Naʻaku lea foki ki he kau taulaʻeiki pea ki he kakai ni kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova; ʻoua naʻa fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻae kau palōfita ʻoku kikite kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, Vakai, ʻe toe ʻomi vave mei Papilone ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova: he ʻoku nau kikite loi kiate kimoutolu.

Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.

17 ‌ʻOua naʻa fanongo kiate kinautolu; mou tauhi ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ke mou moʻui: ʻe fakalala ʻae kolo ni ko e hā?

Hearken not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city be laid waste?

18 Pea kapau ko e kau palōfita ʻakinautolu, pea kapau ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, tuku ke nau fai ni ʻae hūfia kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi ipu ʻaia naʻe toe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi Selūsalema, ke ʻoua naʻa fetuku ia ki Papilone.”

But if they [are] prophets, and if the word of the LORD is with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

19 He ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Ko e meʻa ki he ngaahi pou, pea mo e fuʻu ʻaiʻanga vai, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻunga, pea ki he ngaahi ipu ʻoku toe ʻi he kolo ni,

For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,

20 ‌ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ʻave ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻi heʻene fetuku fakapōpula ʻa Sekonia ko e foha ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta mei Selūsalema ki Papilone, pea mo e houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo Siuta mo Selūsalema;

Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

21 Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi ipu ʻoku toe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Siuta mo Selūsalema;

Yes, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain [in] the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;

22 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻe fetuku ia ki Papilone, pea ʻe tuku ia ki ai, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻaia te u ʻaʻahi ai ʻakinautolu; pea te u toki ʻomi ia mei ai, pea toe tuku ia ki he kolo ni.”

They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
