Sakalaia 12

1 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e tala mamafa, ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli, ko ia ia ʻoku folahi atu ʻae ngaahi langi, mo ne ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani, pea ne ngaohi ʻe ia ʻae laumālie ʻoe tangata ʻi loto ʻiate ia.

The burden of a word of Jehovah on Israel. An affirmation of Jehovah, Stretching out heaven, and founding earth, And forming the spirit of man in his midst.

2 “Vakai, te u ngaohi ʻa Selūsalema, ko e ipu fakailifia, ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai ʻiate ia, ʻoka nau ka kāpui ʻa Selūsalema, mo Siuta foki.

Lo, I am making Jerusalem a cup of reeling To all the peoples round about, And also against Judah it is, In the siege against Jerusalem.

3 Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te u ngaohi ʻa Selūsalema, ko e maka fakamāfasia ki he kakai kotoa pē: ko kinautolu kotoa pē te nau fua ia, te nau makafokafo ai, neongo ha tānaki fakataha ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani ke tauʻi ia.”

And it hath come to pass, in that day, I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all the peoples, All loading it are completely pressed down, And gathered against it have been all nations of the earth.

4 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u tā ʻaki ʻae fakailifia, ʻae hoosi kotoa pē, pea tā ʻaki ʻae faha, ʻaia ʻoku heka ki ai: te u fakaʻā hoku mata ki he fale ʻo Siuta, pea taaʻi ke kui ʻae hoosi kotoa pē ʻae kakai.

In that day — an affirmation of Jehovah, I do smite every horse with astonishment, And its rider with madness, And on the house of Judah I open My eyes, And every horse of the peoples I smite with blindness.

5 Pea ʻe pehē ʻe he kau pule ʻi Siuta ʻi honau loto, ‘ʻE mālohi ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema, koeʻuhi ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko honau ʻOtua.’”

And leaders of Judah have said in their heart, 'Strength to me [are] the inhabitants of Jerusalem, In Jehovah of Hosts their God.'

6 “ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u ngaohi ʻae kau pule ʻi Siuta, ke tatau mo e ʻaiʻanga afi ʻi he loto fefie, pea hangē ko e tūhulu vela ʻi he ū koane; he tenau fakaʻauha takatakai ʻae kakai ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu, pea mo e toʻohema: pea ʻe toe kakai ʻa Selūsalema ʻi hono potu pe ʻoʻona, ʻio, ʻi Selūsalema.

In that day I make the leaders of Judah As a hearth of fire among trees, And as a torch of fire in a sheaf, And they have consumed — on the right and on the left — all the peoples round about, And Jerusalem hath inhabited again her place in Jerusalem.

7 ‌ʻE fuofua fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Siuta, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa vikiviki mai kia Siuta ʻae nāunau ʻoe fale ʻo Tevita, mo e nāunau ʻoe kakai ʻo Selūsalema.

And saved hath Jehovah the tents of Judah first, So that become not great against Judah Doth the beauty of the house of David, And the beauty of the inhabitant of Jerusalem.

8 ‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe maluʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻo Selūsalema; pea ko ia ʻoku vaivai ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe hangē ia ko Tevita; pea hangē ko e ʻOtua ʻae fale ʻo Tevita, ʻo hangē ko e ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻi honau ʻao.

In that day cover over doth Jehovah the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And the stumbling among them hath been in that day as David, And the house of David as God — As a messenger of Jehovah — before them.

9 “Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u kumi ke fakaʻauha ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema.

And it hath come to pass, in that day, I seek to destroy all the nations Who are coming in against Jerusalem,

10 Pea te u lilingi ki he fale ʻo Tevita, pea ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ʻae laumālie ʻoe ʻofa, pea mo e faʻa lotu: pea te nau sio kiate au ʻaia kuo nau hokaʻi, pea te nau tangi koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻo hangē ha taha ʻoku tēngihia ʻa hono foha naʻe taha pe, pea te ne mamahi lahi koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻo hangē ko e mamahi koeʻuhi ko e ʻolopoʻou.

And I have poured on the house of David, And on the inhabitant of Jerusalem, A spirit of grace and supplications, And they have looked unto Me whom they pierced, And they have mourned over it, Like a mourning over the only one, And they have been in bitterness for it, Like a bitterness over the first-born.

11 ‌ʻE ai ʻae tangilāulau lahi ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo hangē ko e tangilāulau ʻa Hatatilimoni ʻi he teleʻa ko Mekitoni.

In that day, great is the mourning of Jerusalem, As the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon,

12 Pea ʻe tangi ʻae fonua, pea fai taki taha ʻe he faʻahinga; ko e faʻahinga ʻoe fale ʻo Tevita maʻana, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu; ko e faʻahinga ʻoe fale ʻo Natani maʻana, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu;

And mourned hath the land — every family apart, The family of the house of David apart, And their women apart; The family of the house of Nathan apart, And their women apart;

13 Ko e faʻahinga ʻoe fale ʻo Livai maʻana, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu; ko e faʻahinga ʻo Simei maʻana, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu;

The family of the house of Levi apart, And their women apart; The family of Shimei apart, And their women apart,

14 Pea mo e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoku toe, ko e taki taha maʻana ʻi hono faʻahinga, pea mo honau ngaahi uaifi maʻanautolu.

All the families that are left, Every family apart, and their women apart!
