Tangilāulau 2

1 Hono ʻikai ʻufiʻufi ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Saione ʻaki ʻae ʻao ʻi hono houhau! Pea fakahifo mei he langi ki māmani ʻae nāunau ʻo ʻIsileli, pea taʻemanatu ki hono tuʻunga vaʻe ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hono houhau!

How the LORD covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger. He has cast down from heaven to the earth the splendor of Israel, and hasn't remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.

2 Kuo folo hifo ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻo Sēkope, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne manavaʻofa; kuo ne holoki hifo ʻi hono houhau ʻae ngaahi potu mālohi ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Siuta; kuo ne hifo ʻakinautolu ki he kelekele: kuo ne fakaʻuliʻi ʻae puleʻanga mo e ngaahi houʻeiki ʻo ia.

The LORD has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground; he has humiliated the kingdom and its rulers.

3 Kuo ne tutuʻu ʻi hono houhau lahi ʻae nifo kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: kuo ne toʻo ʻa hono nima toʻomataʻu mei he ʻao ʻoe fili, pea ne vela kia Sēkope ʻo hangē ko e afi kakaha, ʻaia ʻoku fakaʻauha takatakai.

He has cut off in fierce anger all the strength of Israel. He has drawn back his right hand before the enemy. He has blazed in Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.

4 Kuo ne teke ʻa ʻene kaufana ʻo hangē ha fili: naʻa ne tuʻu mai mo hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hangē ha fili, pea ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe hoihoifua ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione: naʻa ne lilingi hono houhau ʻo hangē ko e afi.

He has bent his bow like an enemy; his right hand he has positioned like an adversary. He killed all that were pleasant to the eye. In the tent of the daughter of Zion he has poured out his wrath like fire.

5 Naʻe hoko ʻa Sihova ke tatau mo e fili: kuo ne folo hifo ʻa ʻIsileli, kuo ne folo hifo ʻa hono ngaahi fale lelei kotoa pē: kuo ne maumauʻi ʻa hono ngaahi potu mālohi, pea kuo ne fakatupu ki he ʻofefine ʻo Saione ʻae mamahi mo e tangi.

The LORD has become as an enemy; he has swallowed up Israel; he has swallowed up all her palaces and has destroyed its strongholds. He has multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.

6 Pea kuo ne ʻave fakamālohi ʻa hono fale fehikitaki, ʻo hangē ko ha meʻa ʻoe ngoue: kuo ne fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi potu ʻoe fakataha: kuo ngaohi ʻe Sihova ke ngalo ʻae ngaahi kātoanga mamafa mo e ngaahi ʻaho tapu ʻi Saione, pea kuo ne manuki ʻi hono houhau lahi ʻae tuʻi mo e taulaʻeiki.

He has done violence to his temple, as if it were a vineyard; he has destroyed his place of assembly. The LORD has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, and he has spurned in his fierce anger king and priest and prince.

7 Kuo liʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa hono feilaulauʻanga, kuo ne fehiʻa ki hono potu tapu, kuo ne tukuange ki he nima ʻoe fili ʻae ngaahi holisi ʻo hono ngaahi fale lelei; kuo nau mavava ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe kātoanga mamafa.

The LORD has rejected his altar, he has disowned his sanctuary, and has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces. They have made a shout in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn assembly.

8 Kuo finangalo ʻa Sihova ke maumau ʻae ʻā ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione: kuo ne falō ha afo, naʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi hono nima mei he fakaʻauha: ko ia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae tanu mo e ʻā ke tangi; naʻa nau fakaʻaʻau ki mui fakataha.

The LORD has determined to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying. He has made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together.

9 Kuo ngalo hifo ʻi he kelekele ʻa hono ngaahi matapā: kuo ne fesiʻi mo maumauʻi hono ngaahi ʻakau songo; ʻoku ʻi he kakai Senitaile ʻa hono tuʻi mo hono houʻeiki: ʻoku ʻikai ha fono: ko ʻene kau palōfita foki ʻoku ʻikai ke kei ʻilo ha meʻa hā mai meia Sihova.

Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is no more, and her prophets find no vision from the LORD.

10 ‌ʻOku nofo hifo ʻi he kelekele pea ʻoku longo pe ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione: kuo nau pani efu ʻa honau ʻulu; kuo nau fakavala ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae tauangaʻa: ko e kau tāupoʻou ʻo Selūsalema ʻoku nau fakatōmapeʻe honau ʻulu ʻo aʻu ki he kelekele.

The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have cast up dust on their heads; they have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

11 ‌ʻOku vaivai ʻi he loʻimata ʻa hoku mata, ʻoku ngaue hoku fatu, ʻoku lilingi hoku ʻate ki he kelekele, ko e meʻa ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻae ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai; koeʻuhi ʻoku pongia ʻae tamaiki mo e kau valevale ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻoe kolo.

My eyes are worn out from weeping, my stomach is churning. My heart is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants faint in the streets of the city.

12 ‌ʻOku nau pehē ki heʻenau ngaahi faʻē, “Kofaʻā ʻae koane mo e uaine?” ʻI heʻenau pongia ʻo hangē ko e kau kafo ʻi he hala ʻoe kolo, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻaia naʻe lilingi ai ʻa honau laumālie ki he fatafata ʻo ʻenau ngaahi faʻē.

They tell their mothers, "Where is grain and wine?" When they faint as the wounded in the streets of the city, as their lives fade away in their mothers' bosom.

13 Ko e hā te u ʻatu ke fakamoʻoni kiate koe? Ko e hā te u fakatātā ʻaki kiate koe ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema? Ko e hā te u fakatatau mo koe, koeʻuhi ke u fakafiemālieʻi koe ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Saione? He ko hoʻo maumau ʻoku lahi ʻo hangē ko e lahi: ko hai ʻe fakamoʻui koe?

What shall I testify of you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your ruin is great like the sea. Who can heal you?

14 Kuo ʻilo ʻe hoʻo kau palōfita ʻae ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga mo vale koeʻuhi ko koe: pea naʻe ʻikai te nau fakahā hoʻo kovi koeʻuhi ke fakaʻafeʻi hoʻo pōpula; ka kuo nau ʻilo koeʻuhi ko koe ʻae ngaahi kikite loi, mo ngaahi meʻa fakahē.

Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captivity, but have seen for you false and misleading oracles.

15 ‌ʻOku pasi kiate koe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ange; ʻoku nau ʻisa mo kalokalo honau ʻulu ki he ʻofefine ʻo Selusalema, ʻo nau pehē, “Ko eni koā ʻae kolo ʻaia ʻoku ui ʻe he kakai ko e toulekeleka haohaoa, ko e fiefiaʻanga ʻo māmani kotoa pē?”

All that pass by clap their hands at you, they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, "Is this the city that men called 'The perfection of beauty,' 'The joy of the whole earth'?"

16 Kuo fakamanga honau ngutu kiate koe ʻe ho kau fili kotoa pē: ʻoku nau ʻisa pea fengaiʻitaki ʻae nifo: ʻonau pehē, “Kuo tau folo hifo ia: ko e moʻoni ko eni ʻae ʻaho naʻa tau ʻamanaki ki ai kuo tau ʻilo, kuo tau mamata ai.”

All your enemies have opened wide their mouth against you. They hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, "We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it."

17 Kuo fai ʻe Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne filioʻi; kuo ne fakamoʻoni ki heʻene folofola ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa: kuo ne holoki hifo, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne manavaʻofa; pea kuo ne pule ke fiefia ho fili kiate koe, kuo ne fokotuʻu ki ʻolunga ʻae nifo ʻo ho kau fili.

The LORD has done that which he purposed, he has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to gloat over you and exalted the horn of your adversaries.

18 Naʻe tangi honau loto kia Sihova, ʻE ʻā ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo Saione, tuku ke tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi loʻimata ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, ʻo hangē ha vaitafe: ʻoua naʻa ke malolō; ke ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻe ho kanoʻi mata.

Their heart cried to the LORD. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no respite; do not let your tears cease.

19 Tuʻu hake, pea ke kalanga ʻi he pō, ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi leʻo, huaʻi ho loto ʻo hangē ko e vai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fofonga ʻoe ʻEiki: hiki hake ho nima kiate ia koeʻuhi ke moʻui ʻa hoʻo tamaiki iiki, ʻaia ʻoku mate fiekaia, ʻi he muʻa hala kotoa pē.

Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches. Pour out your heart like water before the face of the LORD. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.

20 “ʻE ʻEiki ke ke vakai pea tokanga kiate kinautolu kuo ke fai pehē ki ai. ʻE kai ʻe he kau fefine ʻa honau fua, mo e tamaiki, ʻoku hanga pe taha ʻa honau lōloa? ʻE mate tāmateʻi, ʻae taulaʻeiki mo e palōfita ʻi he fale tapu ʻo Sihova?

Look, LORD, and see to whom you have done like this. Shall the women eat their fruit, the children that are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the LORD?

21 “ʻAe kakai talavou mo e mātuʻa ʻoku nau tokoto ʻi he kelekele ʻi he ngaahi hala: kuo tō ʻi he heletā ʻeku kau tāupoʻou mo ʻeku kau talavou: kuo ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ho houhau; kuo ke tāmateʻi pea ʻikai manavaʻofa.

The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; my virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered, without pity.

22 Kuo ke uiuiʻi ʻae ngaahi fakamanavahē ke kāpui au, ʻo hangē ʻi ha ʻaho mamafa, ko ia naʻe ʻikai siʻi ke hao pe toe ha niʻihi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe houhau ʻo Sihova: ʻakinautolu naʻe fakakofuʻi mo tauhiʻi ʻeau kuo fakaʻauha ʻe he fili.

You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was none that escaped or remained in the day of the LORD's anger. Those that I have borne and brought up has my enemy destroyed.
