Selemaia 48

1 ‌ʻOku folofola pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ki Moape; “ʻE malaʻia ʻa Nipo! He kuo maumau ia: kuo veuveuki mo kapa ʻa Kiliateimi: pea kuo maveuveu mo puputuʻu ʻa Misikapi.

Of Moab. "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Woe to Nebo, because it is about to be destroyed; Kiriathaim will be put to shame, it will be taken captive. The fortress is put to shame and broken down.

2 ‌ʻE ʻikai toe fakaongolelei ʻa Moape: kuo nau fakakaukau kovi ki ai ʻi Hesiponi; ([ʻo pehē], ) ‘Ke tau tuʻusi ia ke ʻoua naʻa kei puleʻanga ia.’ Pea ʻe tuʻusi foki ʻa koe Matimena: ʻe tuli koe ʻe he heletā.

The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: "Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation." You also, Madmen, shall be brought to silence: the sword shall pursue you.

3 Kuo ongo mai ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangi mei Holonaimi, ‘Ko e maumauʻi mo e fakaʻauha lahi.’

The sound of a cry from Horonaim, "destruction and great calamity."

4 Kuo fakaʻauha ʻa Moape; kuo tangi ke ongo ʻa hono kakai iiki.

Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

5 Koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻa Luiti te nau ʻalu hake mo e tangi maʻuaipē: he kuo fanongo ʻae fili ki he tangi ʻoe fakaʻauha ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻa Holonaimi.

For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.

6 Mou hola, pea fakahaofi hoʻomou moʻui, ka te mou hangē ko e ʻakau taʻehanolau ʻi he toafa.

"Flee, save your lives, and be like a shrub in the wilderness."

7 “He koeʻuhi kuo ke falala ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, mo hoʻo ngaahi koloa, ʻe lavaʻi ai foki koe: pea ʻe ʻalu ki he fakapōpula ʻa Kimosi, mo ʻene kau taulaʻeiki mo hono houʻeiki fakataha.

For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his officials together.

8 Pea ʻe hoko ʻae tangata maumau ki he kolo kotoa pē, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hao ha kolo ʻe taha: ʻe malaʻia ʻae teleʻa, pea ʻe fakaʻauha mo e toafa, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.

The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as the LORD has spoken.

9 Foaki ʻae kapakau ki Moape, koeʻuhi ke ne hola ʻo ʻalu: he kuo lala hono ngaahi kolo, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke nofo ai.”

Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell in them.'

10 “ʻE malaʻia ia ʻoku ne fai ʻae ngāue ʻa Sihova ʻi he kākā, pea ʻe malaʻia ia ʻoku taʻofi ʻene heletā mei he toto.

Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

11 “Kuo fakafiemālie ʻa Moape talu ʻene kei siʻi, pea kuo toka hifo ki hono takele, pea naʻe ʻikai fakatafe mei he ipu ki he ipu, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻave ia ki he fakapōpula: ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻiate ia hono ifo, pea ʻoku ʻikai fakakehe hono nanamu.

'Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.

12 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia te u fekau ai ʻae kau fakahē, pea te nau fakahēʻi ia, pea fakatafe ʻene ngaahi ipu, pea maumau ʻenau ngaahi hina.

Therefore look, the days come,' says the LORD, 'that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.

13 Pea ʻe mā ʻa Moape ia Kimosi, ʻo hangē ko e mā ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli ki Peteli ko honau falalaʻanga.

Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

14 “Pea ʻoku fēfē hoʻomou lea pehē, ‘ʻOku mau mālohi ko e kau tangata mālohi ki he tau?’

How can you say, "We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?"

15 Kuo maumau ʻa Moape, pea kuo ʻalu hake ia ʻi hono ngaahi kolo, pea kuo ʻalu hifo ki he tāmateʻi ʻa hono kau talavou kuo fili,” ʻoku pehē, ʻe he tuʻi, ʻaia ko hono huafa ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter,' says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

16 “Kuo ofi ʻene hoko mai ʻae tuʻutāmaki ʻa Moape, pea ʻoku fakatoʻotoʻo mai ʻa hono mamahi.

The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.

17 Ko kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku nonofo mo ia, mou mamahi koeʻuhi ko ia, pea ko kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻilo hono hingoa, mou pehē, ‘ʻOiauē! ʻAe fesiʻi ʻae tokotoko mālohi, pea mo e vaʻa matamatalelei!’

All you who are around him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, "How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod."

18 “Ke ke ʻalu hifo mei ho nāunau, pea nofo fieinua, ʻa koe ko e ʻofefine ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi Tiponi; he kuo hoko kiate koe ʻae maumau ʻo Moape, pea te ne fakaʻauha hoʻo ngaahi potu mālohi.

You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds.

19 ‌ʻA koe ʻoku ke nofo ʻi ʻAloeli, Ke ke tuʻu ʻi he veʻehala mo leʻo; pea fehuʻi kiate ia ʻoku hola, pea mo ia ʻoku hao, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻae meʻa kuo fai?’

Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, "What has been done?"

20 Kuo veuveuki ʻa Moape; he kuo holoki hifo ia: mou tangilāulau pea tangi lahi, mou fakahā ia ʻi ʻAlanoni, kuo maumauʻi ʻa Moape.

"Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste."

21 Kuo hoko ʻae tautea ki he fonua tokalelei; ki Holoni, mo Sehasa, pea mo Mefata.

Judgment has come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath,

22 Pea mo Tiponi, mo Nipo, pea mo Petetipilateimi,

and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim,

23 Pea mo Kiliateimi, mo Petekamuli, pea mo Petemioni,

and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth Gamul, and on Beth Meon,

24 Pea mo Kiliote, mo Posila, pea ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ʻo Moape, pe ko e mamaʻo pe ko e ofi.

and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

25 Kuo tuʻusi ʻae nifo ʻo Moape, pea kuo fesiʻi hono nima, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”

The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,' says the LORD.

26 “Mou fakakona ia: he kuo ne fakahikihiki ʻe ia ia kia Sihova: ʻe fetafokifokiʻaki foki ʻa Moape ʻi heʻene lua, pea ʻe hoko ia foki ko e manukiʻanga.

'Make him drunk; for he magnified himself against the LORD: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

27 ‌ʻIkai naʻe hoko ʻa ʻIsileli ko e manukiʻanga kiate koe? Naʻe ʻilo ia mo e kau kaihaʻa? Koeʻuhi talu hoʻo lea ki ai, mo hoʻo hopohopo ʻi he fiefia.

For wasn't Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.

28 Ko kimoutolu ʻoku nofo ʻi Moape, liʻaki ʻae ngaahi kolo, pea nofo ʻi he potu maka, pea mou hangē ko e lupe ʻoku ngaohi hono pununga ʻi he ngutu ʻoe luo.

You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.

29 “Kuo tau fanongo ki he fielahi ʻa Moape, (ʻoku fakamanavahē ʻene fielahi) ko ʻene angahiki, mo e fieʻeiki, mo e fakamofutofuta, pea mo e laukau ʻo hono loto.

We have heard of the pride of Moab--he is very proud--of his pride, and his vanity, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.

30 Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻene ʻita ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne faʻa fai; ʻe ʻikai te ne lavaʻi ʻi heʻene ngaahi loi.

I know his wrath,' says the LORD, 'that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.

31 Ko ia te u tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko Moape, ʻio, te u tangi koeʻuhi ko Moape, kotoa pē; Te u mamahi koeʻuhi ko e kau tangata ʻo Kilihelesi.

therefore I will wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab; I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.

32 ‌ʻE vaine ʻo Sipima, te u tangi ʻaki ʻae tangi ʻo Sesa koeʻuhi ko koe: kuo ʻave ho huli ki tahi, ʻo aʻu ki he tahi ʻo Sesa: kuo hoko ʻae maumau ki ho ngaahi fua momoho, pea ki he fua ʻoe vaine.

With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah: your branches passed over the sea, they reached even to Jazer; on your summer fruits and on your vintage the destroyer is fallen.

33 Pea kuo mole ʻae fiefia mo e nekeneka mei he ngoue mahu, pea mei he fonua ʻo Moape; pea kuo u fakangata ʻae uaine ʻi he tataʻoʻanga uaine: ʻe ʻikai fai ha malamalaki ʻaki ʻae kalanga; ʻoku ʻikai ko e kalanga ʻenau kalanga.

Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.

34 ‌ʻOku ongoʻi ʻae tangi mei Hesiponi ki ʻIliale, pea kuo ongo atu honau leʻo ʻo aʻu ki Sehasi, mei Soa ʻo aʻu ki Holonaimi, ʻo hangē ko e pulu mui kuo tolu taʻu ʻa ʻene motuʻa: koeʻuhi ʻe liakiʻi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo Nimilimi.”

From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.

35 Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Te u fakangata ʻi Moape, ʻaia ʻoku ne fai ʻae feilaulau ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea mo ia ʻoku tutu meʻa namu kakala ki hono ngaahi ʻotua.

And I will cause to cease in Moab,' says the LORD, 'the one who offers sacrifice upon the high place, and the one who burns incense to his gods.

36 Ko ia ʻe tangi hoku loto ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fangufangu koeʻuhi ko Moape, pea ʻe tangi hoku loto ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fangufangu koeʻuhi ko e kau tangata ʻo Kilihelesi: koeʻuhi kuo ʻauha ʻae ngaahi koloa kuo ne maʻu.

Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished.

37 Koeʻuhi ʻe tula ʻae ʻulu kotoa pē, pea ʻe kosi ʻae kava kotoa pē: pea ʻe ʻi he nima kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi tafa, pea mo e tauangaʻa ki he kongaloto.

For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are cuttings, and on the waist sackcloth.

38 ‌ʻE ai ʻae tangilāulau lahi, ʻi he funga ʻoe ngaahi fale kotoa pē ʻo Moape, pea ʻi hono ngaahi hala: he kuo u maumauʻi ʻa Moape ʻo hangē ko e ipu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai fiefia ki ai ha tokotaha,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which none delights,' says the LORD.

39 Te nau tangi lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOiauē hono maumauʻi hifo ia! ʻOiauē ʻae fulituʻa mai ʻa Moape ʻi heʻene mā! ʻE hoko ʻa Moape ko e manukiʻanga, pea mo e meʻa fakailifia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai ia.”

How it is broken down. How they wail. How Moab has turned the back with shame. So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.'

40 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; Vakai, te ne puna ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale, pea te ne mafao atu hono kapakau ki Moape.

For thus says the LORD: 'Look, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.

41 Kuo kapa ʻa Kiliote, pea kuo ilifia ai ʻae ngaahi potu mālohi, pea ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae loto ʻoe kau tangata mālohi ʻi Moape ʻo hangē ko e loto ʻoe fefine kuo langā.

Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

42 Pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Moape, koeʻuhi ko e fakahikihiki ia kia Sihova.

Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.

43 ‌ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Moape, ʻe ʻiate koe ʻae ilifia, mo e luo, pea mo e tauhele.

Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says the LORD.

44 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko ia ʻoku hola ʻi he manavahē te ne tō ki he luo; pea ko ia ʻe hao mei he luo ʻe moʻua ia ʻi he tauhele: he te u ʻomi kiate ia, ʻio, ki Moape, ʻae taʻu ʻo honau ʻaʻahi.

He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,' says the LORD.

45 “Naʻe tuʻu ʻi he malumalu ʻo Hesiponi ʻakinautolu naʻe hola ko e meʻa ʻi he mālohi: ka ʻe ʻalu atu ʻae afi mei Hesiponi, pea mo e ulo afi mei he loto Sihoni, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ai ʻae tuliki ʻo Moape, pea mo e tumuʻaki ʻoe ngaahi fonua fakamaveuveu.

'Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihon, and it has destroyed the forehead of Moab, and the crown of the sons of tumult.

46 ‌ʻE Moape, ʻe malaʻia ʻa koe! ʻoku malaʻia ʻae kakai ʻo Kimosi: he kuo ʻave fakapōpula ʻa ho ngaahi foha, pea kuo ʻalu foki ʻa ho ngaahi ʻofefine ki he fakapōpula.

Woe to you, O Moab. The people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.

47 Ka ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Te u liliu ʻae fakapōpula ʻo Moape, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui.” Ko eni ʻae fakamaau ʻo Moape.

Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days,' says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab."
