Sakalaia 10

1 Mou kole ʻae ʻuha meia Sihova, ʻI he māhina ʻoe ʻuha mui; pea pehē, ʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuhila, mo ne foaki ʻae ʻuha lahi kiate kinautolu, ki he tangata taki taha ʻae mohuku ʻi he ngoue.

Ask ye of YHWH rain in the time of the latter rain; so YHWH shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

2 He ko e vaʻinga ʻae lea ʻae ngaahi tamapua, pea kuo mamata ʻae kau kikite ki he loi, pea kuo nau fakamatala ʻae ngaahi misi loi; ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻenau fakafiemālie: ko ia naʻa nau ʻalu hē ʻo hangē ha fanga manu, naʻa nau puputuʻu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ha tauhi.

For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.

3 Naʻe tafutafu ʻeku houhau ki he kau tauhi, pea naʻaku tautea ʻae fanga kosi: he kuo ʻaʻahi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻakinautolu, ʻoku ne tauhi ʻi he fale ʻo Siuta, pea kuo ne ngaohi ʻakinautolu, ke hangē ko ha hoosi lelei ki he tau.

Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for YHWH of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.

4 Naʻe meiate ia ʻae maka-tuliki, naʻe meiate ia ʻae faʻo, naʻe meiate ia ʻae kaufana ki he tau, pea ʻe haʻu fakataha meiate ia ʻae pule kotoa pē.

Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.

5 Pea te nau hangē ko e kau tangata mālohi, ʻoku malamalaki hifo [honau fili ]ʻi he pelepela ʻoe ngaahi hala, ʻoka fai ʻae tau: pea te nau tau, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova, pea te nau fakamaaʻi ʻae kau heka hoosi.

And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because YHWH is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.

6 “Pea te u tokoni mālohi ʻae fale ʻo Siuta, pea te u fakamoʻui ʻae fale ʻo Siosefa, pea te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu, mo toe fakanofo ʻakinautolu; koeʻuhi ko ʻeku ʻofa kiate kinautolu: pea te nau hangē naʻe ʻikai te u liʻaki ʻakinautolu: he ko au, ko Sihova, ko honau ʻOtua, pea te u fanongo kiate kinautolu.

And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am YHWH their Elohim, and will hear them.

7 Pea ʻe tatau ʻakinautolu ʻi ʻIfalemi, mo ha taha mālohi, pea ʻe fiefia honau loto ʻo hangē ko ha meʻa ʻi he uaine; ʻio, ʻe mamata ki ai ʻenau fānau pea nau fiefia: ʻe nekeneka honau loto ʻia Sihova.

And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in YHWH.

8 Te u fakaʻiseʻisa koeʻuhi ko kinautolu, pea u tānaki ʻakinautolu; he kuo u huhuʻi ʻakinautolu, pea te nau tupu ʻo hangē ko ʻenau faʻa tupu.

I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.

9 Pea te u tūtuuʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai; pea te nau manatuʻi au, ʻi he ngaahi fonua mamaʻo; pea ʻe moʻui ʻakinautolu, pea mo ʻenau fānau, pea ʻe toe tafoki mai.

And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.

10 Te u toe ʻomi ʻakinautolu foki mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mo tānaki ʻakinautolu mei ʻAsilia; pea te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ko Kiliati, mo Lepanoni, pea ʻe ʻikai ha potu ʻe maʻu ke nau hao ai.

I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Labanon; and place shall not be found for them.

11 Pea ʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻi tahi ʻi he mamahi, pea ʻe taaʻi ʻae ngaahi peau ʻoe tahi, pea ʻe fakamōmoa ʻae ngaahi loloto ʻoe vaitafe: pea ʻe fakahifo ki lalo ʻae fielahi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea ʻe mole atu ʻae tokotoko ʻoe pule mei ʻIsipite.

And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.

12 Pea te u fakamālohi ʻakinautolu ʻia Sihova; pea te nau feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi hono huafa,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.

And I will strengthen them in YHWH; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith YHWH.
