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!
The Lord has covered the daughter of Zion under the cloud of his anger. He has thrown the splendor of Israel down from heaven to earth. He has not remembered his footstool on 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 and has had no compassion on all the towns of Jacob. In the days of his anger he has thrown down the fortified cities of the daughter of Judah; in dishonor he has brought down to the ground 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.
With fierce anger he has cut off every horn of Israel. He has withdrawn his right hand from before the enemy. He has burned up Jacob like a blazing fire that devours everything around it.
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.
Like an enemy he has bent his bow toward us, with his right is ready to shoot. He has slaughtered all who had been so pleasing to him 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 like an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed her strongholds. He has increased mourning and lamentation within the daughter of Judah.
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 attacked his tabernacle like a garden hut. He has destroyed the place of the solemn assembly. Yahweh has caused both solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, for he has despised both king and priest in the indignation of his anger.
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 and disowned his sanctuary. He has given over the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have raised a shout in the house of Yahweh, as on the day of an appointed feast.
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.
Yahweh decided to destroy the city wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the measuring line and has not withheld his hand from destroying the wall. He has made the ramparts and wall to lament; together they wasted away.
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 have sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken the bars of her gate. Her king and her princes are among the nations, the law is no more and her prophets find no vision from Yahweh.
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 thrown dust on their heads and put on sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem have bowed 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 have failed from their tears; my stomach churns; my inner parts are poured out to the ground because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, children and 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 say to their mothers, “Where is grain and wine?” as they faint like a wounded man in the streets of the city, their lives are poured out on the bosom of their mothers.
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 can I say to you, daughter of Jerusalem? To what can I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? Your wound is as great as 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 false and worthless visions for you. They have not exposed your iniquity to restore your fortunes, but for you they gave utterances that are false and misleading.
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 those who pass along the road clap their hands at you. They hiss and shake their heads against the daughter of Jerusalem and say, “Is this the city that they called 'The Perfection of Beauty,' 'The Joy for All of 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 open their mouths against you. They sneer and grind their teeth in rage and say, “We have swallowed her up! This is the day we have waited for! We have lived to see 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.
Yahweh has done what he planned to do. He has fulfilled his word. He has overthrown you without pity, for he has permitted the enemy to rejoice over you; he has lifted up the horn of your enemies.
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 out to the Lord, walls of the daughter of Zion! Make your tears flow down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief, your eyes no relief.
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 night watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children who faint with hunger at the corner 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?
See, Yahweh, and consider those you have dealt in this way. Should women eat the fruit of their wombs, the children whom they have cared for? Should priest and prophet be slaughtered 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.
Both the young and the old lie on the dust of the streets. My young women and my young men have fallen by the sword; you have slaughtered them without taking pity on them.
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 summoned, as you would call the people to a feast day, my terrors on every side, on the day of the anger of Yahweh no one escaped or survived; those I cared for and raised, my enemy has destroyed.
