< 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;
Give a blast on a ram's horn in Zion and sound a battle signal on [the] mountain of holiness my let them tremble all [the] inhabitants of the land for [is] about to come [the] day of Yahweh for [it is] near.
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 darkness and gloom a day of cloud and thick darkness like dawn spread out over the mountains a people numerous and mighty like it not it has occurred since antiquity and after it not it will repeat until years of a generation and a generation.
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.
Before it it has consumed fire and after it it sets ablaze a flame [is] like [the] garden of Eden the land before it and after it a wilderness of desolation and also escape not it belongs to it.
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.
[is] like [the] appearance of Horses appearance its and like horsemen so they run!
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] sound of chariots over [the] tops of the mountains they leap! like [the] sound of a flame of fire consuming stubble like a people mighty deployed of battle.
6 ‌ʻE mamahi lahi ʻae kakai ʻi honau ʻao: ʻe peko ʻae mata kotoa pē.
From before it they are in anguish peoples all faces they gather a glow.
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:
Like warriors they run! like men of war they go up a wall and each on ways its they go! and not they exchange! paths their.
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.
And each brother its not they crowd! a man on track its they go! and through the weapon[s] they fall not they stop.
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.
On the city they rush on the wall they run! in the houses they go up through the windows they go like thief.
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:
Before it it trembles [the] earth they shake [the] heavens sun and moon they become dark and [the] stars they withdraw brightness their.
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 Yahweh he gives forth voice his before army his for [is] great very camp his for [is] mighty [the] [one who] does word his for [is] great [the] day of Yahweh and awesome exceedingly and who? will he endure 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:”
And also now [the] utterance of Yahweh return to me with all heart your and with fasting and with weeping and with wailing.
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 tear heart your and may not [it be] garments your and return to Yahweh God your for [is] gracious and compassionate he long of anger and great of covenant loyalty and relenting on harm.
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? [is] knowing he will turn and he will relent and he will leave behind him a blessing a grain offering and a drink offering for Yahweh God your.
15 Ifi ʻae meʻalea ʻi Saione, tuʻutuʻuni ha ʻaukai, ui ʻae fakataha mamafa:
Give a blast on a ram's horn in Zion consecrate a fast call an 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 consecrate an assembly gather [the] elders gather children and suckling-children of breasts let him go out [the] bridegroom from room his and [the] bride from chamber her.
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?’”
Between the porch and to the altar let them weep the priests [the] servants of Yahweh and let them say have compassion! O Yahweh on people your and may not you make inheritance your into a reproach to mock on them nations why? will people say among the peoples where? [is] God their.
18 Pea ʻe toki fuaʻa ʻa Sihova ki hono fonua, pea ʻofa mamahi ki hono kakai.
And he became jealous Yahweh for land his and he had compassion on people his.
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:
And he answered Yahweh and he said to people his here I [am] about to send to you grain and new wine and fresh oil and you will be satisfied with it and not I will make you again a reproach among the nations.
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.
And the northerner[s] I will remove far away from with you and I will drive away it into a land dry and desolation face its into the sea eastern and end its into the sea western and it will go up stench its and it will go up foul smell its for he has made great to do.
21 “ʻE fonua, ʻoua naʻa manavahē; fiefia pea nekeneka: koeʻuhi ʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa lahi.
May not you fear O land be glad and rejoice for he has made great Yahweh to do.
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.
May not you fear O animals of [the] field for they are green [the] pastures of [the] wilderness for [the] tree[s] it has borne fruit its [the] fig tree and [the] vine they have given strength their.
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.
And O people of Zion be glad and rejoice in Yahweh God your for he has given to you the early rain for righteousness and he has sent down for you rain early rain and spring rain in the first [month].
24 Pea ʻe fonu ʻi he uite ʻae ngaahi hahaʻanga, pea ʻe pito mahuohua ʻae ngaahi tataʻoʻanga ʻi he uaine mo e lolo.
And they will be full the threshing floors grain and they will overflow the wine-vats new wine and fresh oil.
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 restore to you the years which it has eaten the locust[s] the locust[s] and the locust[s] and the locust[s] army my great 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.
And you will eat completely and being satisfied and you will praise [the] name of Yahweh God your who he has dealt with you by doing wonderfully and not they will be ashamed people my for ever.
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.
And you will know that [am] in [the] midst of Israel I and I [am] Yahweh God your and there not [is] yet and not they will be ashamed people my for ever.
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 it will be after thus I will pour out spirit my on all flesh and they will prophesy sons your and daughters your old [men] your dreams they will dream! young men your visions they will see.
29 Pea ki he kau tamaioʻeiki mo e kau kaunanga, te u huaʻi foki hoku Laumālie ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
And also on the [male] servants and on the female servants in the days those I will pour out spirit my.
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 put wonders in the heavens and on the earth blood and fire and columns 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 sun it will be changed into darkness and the moon into blood before comes [the] day of Yahweh great and awesome.
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.”
And it will be every [one] who he will call on [the] name of Yahweh he will escape for on [the] mountain of Zion and in Jerusalem it will be an escaped remnant just as he has said Yahweh and among the survivors whom Yahweh [will be] calling.
