Selemaia 33

1 Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ko hono liunga ua, ʻi heʻene kei nofo ʻi he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula, ʻo pehē,

Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet confined in the court of the prison, saying,

2 “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu ia, ko Sihova ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ia, ke fokotuʻumaʻu ia; ko Sihova hono huafa;

Thus saith the LORD the maker of this, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD [is] his name;

3 ‘Ui kiate au, pea te u talia koe, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, mo e ngaahi meʻa fufū, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻiloʻi.’

Call to me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

4 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he ngaahi fale ʻoe kolo ni, pea ki he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻaia kuo lī ki lalo ʻi he ngaahi puke māʻolunga, pea mo e heletā;

For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;

5 Naʻa nau haʻu ke tau mo e kau Kalitia, ka ko e meʻa ke fakapito ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻoe kakai, ʻakinautolu kuo u tāmateʻi ʻi heʻeku tuputāmaki mo hoku houhau, mo kinautolu kotoa pē kuo u fakafufū ai hoku fofonga mei he kolo ni koeʻuhi ko ʻenau angahala.

They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but [it is] to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.

6 ‘Vakai, te u ʻomi kiate ia ʻae moʻui, pea mo e faitoʻo ʻaonga, pea te u fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu, pea te u fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae fiemālie mo e moʻoni lahi.

Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.

7 Pea te u liliu ʻae pōpula ʻo Siuta, mo e pōpula ʻo ʻIsileli, pea te u langa ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa.

And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.

8 Pea te u fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi hia kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau angahala ʻaki kiate au; pea te u fakamolemole ʻenau ngaahi hia kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau angahala aki, mo fai kovi ai kiate au.

And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, by which they have sinned, and by which they have transgressed against me.

9 Pea ʻe ʻiate au ia ko e hingoa ʻoe fiefia, pea ko e ongoongolelei mo e nāunau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻakinautolu ʻe fanongo ki he lelei kotoa pē ʻaia te u fai kiate kinautolu: pea te nau manavahē mo tetetete koeʻuhi ko e lelei kotoa pē pea mo e monūʻia ʻaia te u ʻomi kiate kinautolu.’”

And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure to it.

10 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “ʻE toe ongoʻi ʻi he potu ni, ʻaia ʻoku mou pehē ʻe lala ia pea taʻehatangata pe ha manu, ‘ʻIo, ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea mo e ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema, ʻaia ʻoku lala ʻo taʻehatangata, pea taʻehakakai, pe ha manu,’

Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say [shall be] desolate without man and without beast, [even] in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,

11 ‌ʻE ʻi ai ʻae leʻo ʻoe fiefia, pea mo e leʻo ʻoe nekeneka, ko e leʻo ʻoe tangata taʻane, pea mo e leʻo ʻoe taʻahine, pea mo e leʻo ʻokinautolu ʻoku pehē, ‘Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: he ʻoku angalelei ʻa Sihova; ʻoku tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻene ʻaloʻofa:’ pea mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻomi ʻae feilaulau ʻoe fakafetaʻi ki he fale ʻo Sihova. He te u pule ke liliu mai ʻae pōpula ʻoe fonua, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he kamataʻanga,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD [is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever: [and] of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.

12 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: “Ko e potu eni ʻaia ʻoku lala, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha tangata pe ha manu, pea ko hono ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, ʻe toe hoko ia ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe kau tauhi sipi pea te nau tauhi ʻi ai ʻae fanga sipi.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all its cities, shall be a habitation of shepherds causing [their] flocks to lie down.

13 Pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi potu tokalelei, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻi he feituʻu tonga, pea ʻi he fonua ʻo Penisimani, pea ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻoku ofi ki Selūsalema, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, ʻe toe ʻalu ʻae fanga sipi ʻi he lalo nima ʻo ia ʻoku ne lau ʻakinautolu,” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova.

In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that counteth [them], saith the LORD.

14 ‌ʻOka pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, te u fakahoko ai ʻae meʻa lelei ʻaia naʻaku tala ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e fale ʻo Siuta.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

15 ‌ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea mo e kuonga ko ia, te u fakatupu kia Tevita ʻae vaʻa ʻoe māʻoniʻoni; pea te ne fai ʻae fakamaau mo e angatonu ʻi he fonua.

In those days, and at that time, will I cause the branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

16 ‌ʻE fakamoʻui ʻa Siuta ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea ʻe nofo fiemālie ʻa Selūsalema: pea ko e [huafa ]eni ʻe ui ʻaki ia, ‘Ko Sihova ko hotau māʻoniʻoni.’

In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety: and this [is the name] by which she shall be called, JEHOVAH our righteousness.

17 “He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito masiva ʻa Tevita ʻi he tangata ke nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli;

For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

18 Pea ʻe ʻikai masiva ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ko e kau Livai ʻi ha tangata ʻi hoku ʻao ke ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu, pea ke tutu ʻae feilaulau kai, pea ke fai ʻae feilaulau maʻuaipē.”

Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt-offerings, and to kindle meat-offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.

19 Pea naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,

And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,

20 “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; ‘Kapau te mou faʻa maumauʻi ʻeku fuakava ki he ʻaho, pea mo ʻeku fuakava ki he pō, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hoko fakaholoholo ʻae ʻaho mo e pō;

Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there should not be day and night in their season;

21 Pea tā ʻe toki maumauʻi foki ʻeku fuakava mo Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa maʻu ʻe ia ʻae foha ke pule ʻi hono puleʻanga; pea mo e kau Livai ko e kau taulaʻeiki, ʻoku nau tauhi kiate au.

[Then] also may my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

22 ‌ʻO hangē ʻoku ʻikai faʻa lau ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi, pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fuofua ʻae ʻoneʻone ʻi he matātahi: Te u fakatupu pehē ʻae hako ʻo Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, pea mo e kau Livai ʻoku tauhi kiate au.’”

As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister to me.

23 Pea naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,

Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,

24 “ʻIkai te ke tokanga ki he lea kuo lea ʻaki ʻe he kakai ni, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e faʻahinga ʻe ua ʻaia naʻe fili ʻe Sihova, kuo ne liʻaki ʻakinautolu,’ pea kuo nau manuki ki hoku kakai, ʻo hangē ʻe ʻikai te nau toe hoko ko e puleʻanga ʻi honau ʻao.”

Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

25 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ʻi heʻeku fuakava ʻae ʻaho mo e pō, pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai te u tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ngaahi fono ʻoe langi mo māmani;

Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant [is] not with day and night, [and if] I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

26 Pea tā te u toki liʻaki ʻae hako ʻo Sēkope, pea mo Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, pea ʻe ʻikai te u fili ha niʻihi ʻi hono hako ke pule ki he hako ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope: he te u pule ke liliu ʻenau pōpula, pea te u ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu.”

Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, [so] that I will not take [any] of his seed [to be] rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
