Selemaia 44

1 Ko e lea ʻaia naʻe hoko kia Selemaia ki he kau Siu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea ʻi Mikitoli, mo Tapanesi, mo Nofe, pea mo e ngaahi potu ʻo Patalosi, ʻo pehē,

The worde that came to Ieremiah concerning all the Iewes, which dwell in the lande of Egypt, and remained at Migdol and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the coutry of Pathros, saying,

2 “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘Kuo mou mamata ki he kovi kotoa pē kuo u ʻomi ki Selūsalema, pea mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta; pea vakai, kuo nau lala ʻi he ʻaho ni, pea ʻoku ʻikai nofo ai ha tangata,

Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Yee haue seene all the euill that I haue brought vpon Ierusalem, and vpon all the cities of Iudah: and beholde, this day they are desolate, and no man dwelleth therein,

3 Koeʻuhi ko ʻenau angahala ʻaia naʻa nau fai ke fakatupu ai ʻeku tuputāmaki, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala, pea tauhi ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo, ʻekinautolu, pe ko kimoutolu, pe ko hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.

Because of their wickednes which they haue comitted, to prouoke me to anger in that they went to burne incense, and to serue other gods, who they knew not, neither they nor you nor your fathers.

4 Ko ia naʻaku fekau ai kiate kimoutolu, ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake pe ʻo fekauʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOiauē, ʻoua naʻa fai ʻae meʻa fakalielia ni ʻaia ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki ai.”

Howbeit I sent vnto you all my seruats the Prophets rising earely, and sending them, saying, Oh doe not this abominable thing that I hate.

5 Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga, pe fakafanongo honau telinga ke tafoki mei heʻenau angahala, ke ʻoua naʻa tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.

But they would not heare nor incline their eare to turne from their wickednes, and to burne no more incense vnto other gods.

6 Ko ia naʻe lilingi atu ai hoku houhau mo ʻeku tuʻutāmaki, pea naʻe tutu ia ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta mo e ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema; pea kuo lala mo liʻaki ia, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho ni.’

Wherefore my wrath, and mine anger was powred foorth and was kindled in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, and they are desolate, and wasted, as appeareth this day.

7 “Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Ko e hā ʻoku mou fai ai ʻae kovi lahi ni ki homou laumālie, ke tuʻusi ai meiate kimoutolu ʻae tangata mo e fefine, ʻae tamasiʻi mo e kei huhu, ʻi Siuta, ke ʻoua naʻa toe ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu;

Therefore now thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, Wherfore commit ye this great euill against your soules, to cut off from you man and woman, childe and suckling out of Iudah, and leaue you none to remaine?

8 Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fakahouhau ʻaki au ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa homou nima, ʻi he tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa mou ʻalu ke nofo ki ai, koeʻuhi ke mou kapusi ʻakimoutolu, pea te mou hoko ko e fakamalaʻia mo e ongoongo kovi ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani?

In that yee prouoke mee vnto wrath with the woorkes of your hands, burning incense vnto other Gods in the lande of Egypt whither yee be gone to dwell: that yee might bring destruction vnto your selues, and that ye might be a curse and a reproch among all nations of the earth.

9 Kuo ngalo ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi angahala ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, mo e angahala ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo e angahala ʻa honau ngaahi uaifi, mo hoʻomou angahala ʻamoutolu, mo e angahala ʻa homou uaifi, ʻaia kuo nau fai ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema?

Haue yee forgotten the wickednes of your fathers, and the wickednesse of the Kings of Iudah and the wickednesse of their wiues and your owne wickednes and the wickednes of your wiues, which they haue committed in the land of Iudah and in the streetes of Ierusalem?

10 Pea ʻoku ʻikai fakavaivaiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau manavahē, pe ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku fono, mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaia kuo u tuku ʻi honau ʻao, pea mo e ʻao ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.’

They are not humbled vnto this day, neither haue they feared nor walked in my lawe nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.

11 “Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Vakai, te u fakahangatonu atu hoku fofonga kiate kimoutolu ki he kovi, pea ke motuhi ʻa Siuta kotoa pē.

Therefore thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Beholde, I will set my face against you to euill and to destroy all Iudah,

12 Pea te u ʻave ʻae toenga ʻo Siuta, ko kinautolu kuo fakahangatonu atu honau mata ke ʻalu ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite ke ʻāunofo ai, pea te nau tō ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite pea ʻe ʻauha kotoa pē; ʻio, ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae heletā pea mo e honge: te nau mate ʻi he heletā mo e honge, ʻo fai mei he iiki ʻo aʻu ki he lalahi: pea te nau hoko ko e fehiʻanekina, mo e fakaofo, mo e fakamalaʻia, pea mo e ongoongo kovi.

And I will take the remnant of Iudah, that haue set their faces to goe into the lande of Egypt there to dwell, and they shall all bee consumed and fall in the lande of Egypt: they shall euen bee consumed by the sworde and by the famine: they shall die from the least vnto the most, by the sworde, and by the famine, and they shall be a detestation and an astonishment and a curse and a reproche.

13 He te u tautea ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tautea ʻa Selūsalema, ʻaki ʻae heletā, mo e honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha:

For I will visite them that dwel in the land of Egypt, as I haue visited Ierusalem, by ye sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence,

14 Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hao pe toe ha taha ʻi he toenga ʻo Siuta, ʻaia kuo ʻalu ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite ke ʻāunofo ai, pe te ne toe foki ki he fonua ko Siuta, ʻaia ʻoku nau fie foki ke nofo ai: ka ko e tokosiʻi pe ʻe hola te nau foki mai.’”

So that none of the remnant of Iudah, which are gone into the lande of Egypt to dwell there, shall escape or remaine, that they shoulde returne into the land of Iudah to the which they haue a desire to returne to dwell there: for none shall returne, but such as shall escape.

15 Pea ko e kau tangata kotoa pē kuo ʻilo kuo tutu ʻe honau ngaahi uaifi ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea mo e kau fefine kotoa pē naʻe tutuʻu ai, ko e tokolahi, ʻio, ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi Patalosi, naʻa nau tali kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,

Then all the men which knewe that their wiues had burnt incense vnto other gods and all the women that stoode by, a great multitude, euen all the people that dwelt in the lande of Egypt in Pathros, answered Ieremiah, saying,

16 “Ko e meʻa ʻi he lea kuo ke lea ʻaki kiate kimautolu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, ʻe ʻikai te mau fanongo kiate koe.

The worde that thou hast spoken vnto vs in the Name of the Lord, wee will not heare it of thee,

17 Ka te mau fai moʻoni ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ʻalu atu ʻi homau ngutu, ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ʻeiki fefine ʻoe langi, pea lilingi ʻemau feilaulau inu kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa mau fai, ʻakimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai, mo homau ngaahi tuʻi, mo homau houʻeiki, ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema: he naʻa mau maʻu ai ʻae meʻakai lahi, pea naʻa mau lelei, pea ʻikai mamata ki he kovi.

But wee will doe whatsoeuer thing goeth out of our owne mouth, as to burne incense vnto the Queene of heauen, and to powre out drinke offerings vnto her, as we haue done, both we and our fathers, our Kings and our princes in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem: for then had wee plentie of vitailes and were well and felt none euill.

18 Kae talu ʻemau tuku ʻemau tutu meʻa namu kakala ki he ʻeiki fefine ʻoe langi, pea mo ʻemau lilingi feilaulau inu kiate ia, kuo mau masiva ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, pea kuo fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu ʻaki ʻae heletā, pea mo e honge.

But since wee left off to burne incense to the Queene of heauen, and to powre out drinke offerings vnto her, we haue had scarcenesse of all things, and haue beene consumed by the sworde and by the famine.

19 “Pea ʻi he ʻemau tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ʻeiki fefine ʻoe langi, pea lilingi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau inu kiate ia, naʻa mau ngaohi ʻae mā maʻana, pea hū ki ai, mo lilingi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau inu kiate ia, taʻehamau kau tangata?”

And when we burnt incense to ye Queene of heauen, and powred out drinke offerings vnto her, did wee make her cakes to make her glad, and powre out drinke offerings vnto her without our husbands?

20 Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Selemaia ki he kakai kotoa pē, ki he kau tangata, mo e kau fefine, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe tali ʻaki ʻae lea ko ia, ʻo pehē,

Then said Ieremiah vnto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had giuen him that answere, saying,

21 “Ko e meʻa namu kakala ʻaia kuo mou tutu ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema, ʻakimoutolu, mo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, mo homou ngaahi tuʻi, pea mo homou houʻeiki, pea mo e kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻikai naʻe manatu ʻa Sihova ki ai, pea ʻikai naʻe hoko ia ki hono finangalo?

Did not the Lord remember the incense, that yee burnt in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, both you, and your fathers, your Kinges, and your princes, and the people of the land, and hath he not considered it?

22 Ko ia naʻe ʻikai toe faʻa kātaki ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ko e kovi ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi faianga, pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia kuo mou fai; ko ia kuo lala ai homou fonua, pea ko e meʻa fakaofo, pea ko e malaʻia, pea taʻehanokakai, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he ʻaho ni.

So that the Lord could no longer forbeare, because of the wickednes of your inuentions, and because of the abominations, which ye haue committed: therefore is your lande desolate and an astonishment, and a curse and without inhabitant, as appeareth this day.

23 Koeʻuhi kuo mou tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala, pea koeʻuhi kuo mou angahala kia Sihova, pea ʻikai talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, pe ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻene ngaahi fono, pe ʻi heʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pe ʻi heʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni; ko ia kuo hoko ai ʻae kovi ni kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho ni.”

Because ye haue burnt incense and because ye haue sinned against the Lord, and haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord, nor walked in his Lawe, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies, therefore this plague is come vpon you, as appeareth this day.

24 Naʻe lea foki ʻa Selemaia, ki he kakai kotoa pē, mo e kau fefine kotoa pē, “Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻa Siuta kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite:

Moreouer Ieremiah saide vnto all the people and to all the women, Heare the word of the Lord, all Iudah that are in the land of Egypt.

25 ‌ʻOku folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo lea ʻaki homou ngutu ʻomoutolu mo homou ngaahi uaifi, pea fakamoʻoni ʻaki homou nima, ʻo pehē, “Te mau fakamoʻoni ʻemau ngaahi fuakava ʻaia kuo mau fuakava ʻaki ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ʻeiki fefine ʻoe langi, pea te mau lilingi ʻemau ngaahi feilaulau inu kiate ia:” “‘Ko e moʻoni te mou fakahoko ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi fuakava, ko e moʻoni te mou fakamoʻoni ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi fuakava.

Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wiues haue both spoken with your mouthes, and fulfilled with your hande, saying, We will performe our vowes that we haue vowed to burne incense to the Queene of heauen, and to powre out drinke offerings to her: yee will perfourme your vowes and doe the things that yee haue vowed.

26 “Ko ia mou fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻa Siuta kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite; Vakai, kuo u fuakava ʻi hoku huafa lahi, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe takua hoku huafa ʻe he ngutu ʻo ha tangata ʻo Siuta ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku moʻui ʻae ʻEiki ko Sihova.’

Therefore heare the word of the Lord, all Iudah that dwel in the land of Egypt. Beholde, I haue sworne by my great Name, sayeth the Lord, that my Name shall no more be called vpon by the mouth of any man of Iudah, in all the lande of Egypt, saying, The Lord God liueth.

27 Vakai, te u leʻohi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae kovi, kae ʻikai ha lelei: pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻaki ʻae heletā, mo e honge, ke ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻakinautolu.

Behold, I wil watch ouer them for euil and not for good, and all men of Iudah that are in the land of Egypt, shalbe consumed by the sword, and by the famine, vntill they be vtterly destroied.

28 Ka ko e tokosiʻi pe ʻe hao mei he heletā pea liliu mai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ki he fonua ko Siuta, pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he toenga kakai kotoa pē ʻo Siuta kuo ʻalu ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite ke ʻāunofo ʻi ai, pe ko e lea ʻa hai ʻe tuʻumaʻu, ʻaʻaku, pe ʻanautolu.”

Yet a small nomber that escape the sworde, shall returne out of the lande of Egypt into the lande of Iudah: and all the remnant of Iudah that are gone into the lande of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose words shall stad, mine or theirs.

29 “Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko e fakaʻilonga eni kiate kimoutolu, te u tautea ʻakimoutolu ʻi he potu ni, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻoku moʻoni ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻeku ngaahi lea kiate kimoutolu ke mou kovi ai:’

And this shall be a signe vnto you, saith the Lord, whe I visit you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for euill.

30 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; ‘Vakai, Te u tukuange ʻa Felo-Hofala ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ki he nima ʻo hono ngaahi fili, pea ki honau nima ʻoku kumi ki heʻene moʻui, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tuku ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki he nima ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ko hono fili, ʻaia naʻe kumi ki heʻene moʻui.”’

Thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will giue Pharaoh Hophra King of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seeke his life: as I gaue Zedekiah King of Iudah into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel his enemie, who also sought his life.
