Soeli 2

1 Ifi ʻae meʻalea ʻi Saione, pea fanongonongo ʻae ilifia ʻi hoku moʻunga tapu: ke tetetete ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, koeʻuhi ʻoku hoko ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sihova, he ʻoku ofi ia;

Blowe the trumpet in Zion, and shoute in mine holy mountaine: let all the inhabitants of the lande tremble: for the day of the Lord is come: for it is at hand.

2 Ko e ʻaho ʻoe fakapoʻuli, pea mo e fakapoʻupoʻuli, ko e ʻaho ʻaoʻaofia, pea mo e poʻuli matolu: hangē ko e pongipongi kuo mafola ʻi he funga moʻunga, ʻoku [hau ]pehē ʻae kakai lahi mo mālohi; naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻi muʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai toe hangē ko ia ʻamui, ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi taʻu ʻoe ngaahi toʻutangata lahi.

A day of darkenesse, and of blacknesse, a day of cloudes, and obscuritie, as the morning spred vpon the mountaines, so is there a great people, and a mighty: there was none like it from the beginning, neither shalbe any more after it, vnto the yeeres of many generations.

3 ‌ʻOku kai ʻe he afi ʻi honau ʻao; pea ʻoku vela ʻae ulo afi ʻi honau tuʻa: ko e fonua ʻoku hangē ko e ngoue ko Iteni ʻi honau ʻao, pea ki mui ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku hangē ko e toafa kuo lala; ʻio, pea ʻe ʻikai hao ha meʻa meiate kinautolu.

A fire deuoureth before him, and behinde him a flame burneth vp: the land is as the garden of Eden before him, and behinde him a desolate wildernesse, so that nothing shall escape him.

4 ‌ʻOku nau hā mai hangē ko e hā mai ʻae fanga hoosi; pea hangē ko e kau tangata heka hoosi, ʻe pehē ʻenau lele.

The beholding of him is like the sight of horses, and like the horsemen, so shall they runne.

5 Hangē ko e ʻaulolongo ʻoe ngaahi saliote ʻi he funga moʻunga, ʻe pehē ʻenau hopohopo, ʻo hangē ko e mumuhu ʻoe ulo afi ʻi heʻene kai ʻae mohuku mōmoa, ʻo hangē ko e kakai mālohi kuo fakataha ki he tau.

Like the noyse of charrets in the toppes of the mountaines shall they leape, like the noyse of a flame of fire that deuoureth the stubble, and as a mightie people prepared to the battel.

6 ‌ʻE mamahi lahi ʻae kakai ʻi honau ʻao: ʻe peko ʻae mata kotoa pē.

Before his face shall the people tremble: all faces shall gather blackenesse.

7 Te nau lele hangē ko e kau tangata mālohi; te nau kaka ʻi he ʻā, hangē ko e kau tangata tau; pea te nau laka taki taha ʻi hono hala, ka ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne veuki ʻae fakaʻotu:

They shall runne like strong men, and goe vp to the wall like men of warre, and euery man shall goe forward in his wayes, and they shall not stay in their paths.

8 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau feteketekeʻi ʻae taha ki he taha; ka te nau taki taha ʻalu ʻi hono hala: pea ka nau ka tō ki he heletā, ʻe ʻikai te nau lavea.

Neither shall one thrust another, but euery one shall walke in his path: and when they fall vpon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

9 Te nau lele fano pe ʻi he kolo; te nau lele ʻi he fukahi ʻā, te nau kaka ki he tuʻa fale; te nau hū ʻi he ngaahi matapā sioʻata, hangē ko e kaihaʻa.

They shall runne to and from in the citie: they shall runne vpon the wall: they shall clime vp vpon the houses, and enter in at ye windowes like ye thiefe.

10 ‌ʻE tetetete ʻae fonua ʻi honau ʻao; pea ʻe ngalulululu ʻae langi: ʻe poʻuli ʻae laʻā mo e māhina, pea ʻe taʻofi ʻenau ulo ʻe he ngaahi fetuʻu:

The earth shall tremble before him, ye heauens shall shake, the sunne and the moone shalbe darke, and the starres shall withdraw their shining,

11 Pea ʻe fakaongo hono leʻo ʻe Sihova ki heʻene kautau: he ʻoku lahi ʻae fakataha ʻo ʻene kautau: pea ʻoku mālohi ia ʻoku fai ki heʻene folofola: koeʻuhi ko e ʻaho ʻo Sihova ʻoku lahi mo fakamanavahē; pea ko hai te ne faʻa tuʻu ai?

And the Lord shall vtter his voyce before his hoste: for his hoste is very great: for he is strog that doeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, and who can abide it?

12 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Pea ko eni foki, mou tafoki kiate au ʻaki homou loto kotoa, pea ʻi he ʻaukai, pea ʻi he tangi, mo e tangilāulau:”

Therefore also now the Lord sayth, Turne you vnto me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning,

13 Pea mou haehae homou loto, kae ʻikai ko homou kofu pe, pea tafoki kia Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua: he ʻoku ne angalelei mo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo tuotuai ki he houhau, pea ʻoku ne angaʻofa lahi, pea ʻoku ne fakatomala ʻi he kovi.

And rent your heart, and not your clothes: and turne vnto the Lord your God, for he is gratious, and mercifull, slowe to anger, and of great kindnes, and repenteth him of the euill.

14 ‌ʻE ʻilo ʻe hai? Pe te ne tafoki mo fakatomala, pea tuku mai ki mui ha tāpuaki ʻiate ia; ʻio, ha feilaulau meʻakai, pea mo e feilaulau meʻainu kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua?

Who knoweth, is he wil returne and repent and leaue a blessing behinde him, euen a meate offring, and a drinke offring vnto ye Lord your God?

15 Ifi ʻae meʻalea ʻi Saione, tuʻutuʻuni ha ʻaukai, ui ʻae fakataha mamafa:

Blowe the trumpet in Zion, sanctifie a fast, call a solemne assembly.

16 Tānaki ʻae kakai, fakatapui ʻae fakataha, fakakātoa mai ʻae kau mātuʻa, tānaki ʻae fānau, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku kei huhu: ke ʻalu ʻae tangata taʻane mei hono fale teuteu, pea mo e taʻahine mei hono loki.

Gather the people: sanctifie the congregation, gather the elders: assemble the children, and those that sucke the breastes: let the bridegrome go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her bride chamber.

17 Tuku ke tangi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, ʻae kau faifekau ʻa Sihova, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe fale hala mo e feilaulauʻanga, pea ke nau lea pehē, “ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui hoʻo kakai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke tuku ho tofiʻa ki he manuki, ke puleʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he hiteni: koeʻumaʻā ʻenau pehē ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoʻo kakai, ‘ʻOku ʻi fē honau ʻOtua?’”

Let the Priestes, the ministers of the Lord weepe betweene the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and giue not thine heritage into reproche that the heathen should rule ouer them. Wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

18 Pea ʻe toki fuaʻa ʻa Sihova ki hono fonua, pea ʻofa mamahi ki hono kakai.

Then will the Lord be ielous ouer his land, and spare his people.

19 ‌ʻIo, ko Sihova te ne tali, pea pehē ki hono kakai, “Vakai, te u ʻatu kiate kimoutolu ʻae koane, mo e uaine, mo e lolo, pea te mou mākona ai: pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe tuku ʻakimoutolu ke manukiʻi ʻe he hiteni:

Yea, the Lord wil answere and say vnto his people, Beholde, I will send you corne, and wine, and oyle, and you shalbe satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproche among the heathen,

20 Ka te u ʻave ke mamaʻo ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae tau mei he tokelau, pea te u kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ha fonua kākā mo lala, ʻoku hanga hono mata ki he tahi hahake, pea mo hono tuʻa ki he tahi mamaʻo atu ʻaupito, pea ʻe ʻalu hake hono namukū, pea ʻe ʻalu hake hono ʻeho ʻo ia,” Koeʻuhi kuo ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi.

But I will remooue farre off from you the Northren armie, and I will driue him into a land, barren and desolate with his face toward the East sea, and his end to the vtmost sea, and his stinke shall come vp, and his corruption shall ascend, because he hath exalted himselfe to do this.

21 “ʻE fonua, ʻoua naʻa manavahē; fiefia pea nekeneka: koeʻuhi ʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa lahi.

Feare not, O land, but be glad, and reioyce: for the Lord wil do great things.

22 ‌ʻOua naʻa manavahē, ʻe fanga manu ʻoe vao! He ʻoku tupu ʻae mohuku ʻi he toafa, pea ʻoku fua ʻae ʻakau, ko e ʻakau ko e fiki mo e vaine, ʻoku tuku mai hona mālohi.

Be not afrayde, ye beastes of the fielde: for the pastures of the wildernesse are greene: for the tree beareth her fruite: the figge tree and the vine do giue their force.

23 “Pea mou fiemālie, ʻe fānau ʻa Saione, pea fiefia ʻia Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua: koeʻuhi kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu fakalelelelei ʻae ʻuha muʻa, pea te ne tuku ke tō kiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻuha, ko e ʻuha muʻa, mo e ʻuha mui, ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina.

Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and reioyce in the Lord your God: for he hath giuen you the rayne of righteousnes, he wil cause to come downe for you the rayne, euen the first raine, and the latter raine in the first moneth.

24 Pea ʻe fonu ʻi he uite ʻae ngaahi hahaʻanga, pea ʻe pito mahuohua ʻae ngaahi tataʻoʻanga ʻi he uaine mo e lolo.

And the barnes shalbe full of wheate, and the presses shall abound with wine and oyle.

25 Pea te u toe ʻomi kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi taʻu ne kai ʻe he heʻe mo e ʻunufe maumau, mo e ʻunufe, mo e ʻunufe fulufulu, ko ʻeku kau tau lahi naʻaku fekau kiate kimoutolu.

And I will render you the yeeres that the grashopper hath eaten, the canker worme and the caterpiller and the palmer worme, my great hoste which I sent among you.

26 Pea te mou kai ʻi he mahu, pea te mou mākona ai, pea fakamālō ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo ne fai fakaofo kiate kimoutolu: pea ʻe ʻikai toe mā ʻa hoku kakai ʻo lauikuonga.

So you shall eate and be satisfied and praise the Name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt marueilously with you: and my people shall neuer be ashamed.

27 Pea te mou ʻilo ʻoku ou ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ko Sihova au ko homou ʻOtua, kae ʻikai ha taha kehe: pea ʻe ʻikai toe mā ʻa hoku kakai ʻo lauikuonga.

Ye shall also know, that I am in the middes of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God and none other, and my people shall neuer be ashamed.

28 “Pea ʻe hoko ʻamui, te u huaʻi hoku Laumālie ki he kakai kotoa pē; pea ʻe kikite homou ngaahi foha mo homou ngaahi ʻofefine, pea ʻe misi ʻe hoʻo kau mātuʻa ʻae ngaahi misi, pea ʻe mamata ʻae ngaahi meʻa hā mai ʻe hoʻo kau talavou:

And afterward will I powre out my Spirit vpon all flesh: and your sonnes and your daughters shall prophecie: your olde men shall dreame dreames, and your yong men shall see visions,

29 Pea ki he kau tamaioʻeiki mo e kau kaunanga, te u huaʻi foki hoku Laumālie ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.

And also vpon the seruants, and vpon the maydes in those dayes wil I powre my Spirit.

30 Pea te u fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he langi, pea ʻi māmani, ko e toto, mo e afi, mo e ʻahu ʻoe afi.

And I will shewe wonders in the heauens and in the earth: blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.

31 Pea ʻe liliu ʻae laʻā ʻo poʻuli, mo e māhina ke toto ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae ʻaho lahi, pea fakamanavahē ʻo Sihova.

The sunne shalbe turned into darkenesse, and the moone into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

32 Pea ʻe pehē, ko ia ʻe ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻe fakamoʻui ia: koeʻuhi ʻe ai ʻae fakamoʻui ʻi he moʻunga ko Saione, pea ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova, pea ʻi he toenga ʻe uiuiʻi ʻe Sihova.”

But whosoeuer shall call on the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued: for in mount Zion, and in Ierusale shalbe deliuerance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant, whom the Lord shall call.
