Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1“And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say: O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.
1“Kikite foki, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ke pehē, ʻE ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova:
2This is what the Lord GOD says: Because the enemy has said of you, ‘Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession,’
2ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; koeʻuhi kuo pehē ʻe he fili kiate koe, ‘ʻEhē, ʻehē, naʻa mo e ngaahi potu māʻolunga talu mei muʻa kuo ʻamautolu ia:’
3therefore prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Because they have made you desolate and have trampled you on every side, so that you became a possession of the rest of the nations and were taken up in slander by the lips of their talkers,
3Ko ia ke ke kikite, mo ke pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Koeʻuhi kuo nau fakalala koe, mo nau fōngia hifo koe mei he potu kotoa pē, kae maʻu ʻakimoutolu ʻe he toenga hiteni, pea ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ngutu faʻa lau, pea manukiʻi ʻe he kakai;
4therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD. This is what the Lord GOD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and abandoned cities, which have become a spoil and a mockery to the rest of the nations around you.
4Ko ia, fanongo ʻe ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ki he ngaahi moʻunga, mo e ngaahi vaitafe, pea ki he ngaahi teleʻa, pea mo e ngaahi potu lala, mo e ngaahi kolo kuo siʻaki, ʻaia naʻe hoko ko e meʻa vete mo e manukiʻanga ki he toenga hiteni, ʻoku nofo takatakai mai;
5Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Surely in My burning zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, who took My land as their own possession with wholehearted joy and utter contempt, so that its pastureland became plunder.
5Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko e moʻoni ko e meʻa ʻi he kakaha ʻo ʻeku fuaʻa kuo u lea ai ki he toenga hiteni, pea mo ʻItomi kotoa, ʻakinautolu kuo nau tuʻutuʻuni moʻonautolu ʻa hoku fonua ʻi he fiefia ʻa honau loto, mo e loto fakafāsifasi, ke liʻaki ia ke vetea.
6Therefore, prophesy concerning the land of Israel and tell the mountains and hills, the ravines and valleys, that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I have spoken in My burning zeal because you have endured the reproach of the nations.
6Ko ia, ke ke kikite ai ki he fonua ko ʻIsileli, pea ke pehē ki he ngaahi moʻunga, pea mo e ngaahi tafungofunga, mo e ngaahi vaitafe, pea ki he ngaahi teleʻa, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, kuo u lea ʻi heʻeku fuaʻa mo ʻeku tuputāmaki, koeʻuhi kuo mou fua ʻae mā ʻae kau hiteni:
7Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I have sworn with an uplifted hand that surely the nations around you will endure reproach of their own.
7Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, kuo u hiki hake hoku nima, ko e moʻoni ʻe fua pe ʻenau mā ʻe he hiteni, ʻoku ofi kiate kimoutolu.
8But you, O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and bear fruit for My people Israel, for they will soon come home.
8Ka ko kimoutolu, ʻE ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻe fakatupu ke lōloa homou ngaahi vaʻa, pea ʻe tuku ʻa homou fua ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli: he kuo ofi mai ʻenau haʻu.
9For behold, I am on your side; I will turn toward you, and you will be tilled and sown.
9He, vakai, ʻoku ou kau mo kimoutolu, pea te u foki mai kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻe keli mo tūtuuʻi ʻakimoutolu:
10I will multiply the people upon you—the house of Israel in its entirety. The cities will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.
10Pea te u fakatokolahi hoʻomou kakai tangata, ʻae fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻio, ʻa hono kātoa: pea ʻe fakakakai ʻae ngaahi kolo, pea ʻe toe langaʻi hake ʻae ngaahi potu lala.
11I will fill you with people and animals, and they will multiply and be fruitful. I will make you as inhabited as you once were, and I will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
11Pea te u fakatokolahi ʻae kau tangata, pea mo e fanga manu ʻiate kimoutolu pea te nau tupu ke lahi mo faʻa fua pea te u fakanofo ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa, pea ʻe lahi hake ʻae lelei te u fai kiate kimoutolu ʻi hono muʻaki fai: pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.
12Yes, I will cause My people Israel to walk upon you; they will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will no longer deprive them of their children.
12ʻIo, te u tuku ʻae kakai ke ʻeveʻeva ʻiate koe, ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli; pea te nau maʻu koe, pea te ke hoko ko honau tofiʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke toe fakatokosiʻi ʻakinautolu.
13For this is what the Lord GOD says: Because people say to you, ‘You devour men and deprive your nation of its children,’
13ʻOku pehē ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Koeʻuhi ʻoku nau pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ke maumauʻi kakai, pea kuo ke fakatokosiʻi ho puleʻanga;
14therefore you will no longer devour men or deprive your nation of its children, declares the Lord GOD.
14Ko ia ʻe ʻikai te ke toe maumau tangata, pe toe fakatokosiʻi ho puleʻanga, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
15I will no longer allow the taunts of the nations to be heard against you, and you will no longer endure the reproach of the peoples or cause your nation to stumble, declares the Lord GOD.”
15Pea ʻe ʻikai te u tuku ke ongoʻi ʻa hoʻo fakamaaʻi ʻe he hiteni, pe te ke toe fua ʻae manukiʻi ʻae kakai, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke toe fakahinga ki lalo ho puleʻanga, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
16Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
16¶ Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
17“Son of man, when the people of Israel lived in their land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds. Their behavior before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman’s impurity.
17“Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻi he kei nofo ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi honau fonua ʻonautolu, naʻa nau fakalieliaʻi ia ʻi heʻenau anga ʻanautolu pe, mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻa nau fai: naʻe tatau kiate au ʻenau anga mo e taʻemaʻa ha fefine kuo vaheʻi.
18So I poured out My wrath upon them because of the blood they had shed on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.
18Ko ia naʻaku lilingi atu ai hoku houhau kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ko e toto naʻa nau lilingi ʻi he funga fonua, pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tamapua naʻa nau fakaʻuliʻi ʻaki ia:
19I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered throughout the lands. I judged them according to their ways and deeds.
19Pea naʻaku fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he hiteni, pea naʻe fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua: naʻaku fakamaauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau anga, pea tatau mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻa nau fai.
20And wherever they went among the nations, they profaned My holy name, because it was said of them, ‘These are the people of the LORD, yet they had to leave His land.’
20Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko atu ki he hiteni, ʻaia naʻa nau ʻalu ki ai, naʻa nau fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku huafa tapu ʻi heʻenau pehēange kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e kakai ʻena ʻa Sihova, pea kuo nau mahuʻi mai mei hono fonua.’
21But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they had gone.
21Ka naʻaku mamae au ki hoku huafa tapu ʻaia ne fakalieliaʻi ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni ʻaia naʻa nau ʻalu ki ai.
22Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: It is not for your sake that I will act, O house of Israel, but for My holy name, which you profaned among the nations to which you went.
22Ko ia, lea ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻOku ʻikai te u fai eni koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ka koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa tapu ʻoʻoku, ʻaia kuo mou fakalieliaʻi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni, ʻaia naʻa mou ʻalu ki ai.
23I will show the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations—the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when I show My holiness in you before their eyes.
23Pea te u fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa hoku huafa lahi, ʻaia naʻe fakalieliaʻi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni, ʻaia kuo mou fakalieliaʻi ʻiate kinautolu; pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he hiteni, ko Sihova au, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻoka fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi au ʻekimoutolu ʻi honau ʻao.
24For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you back into your own land.
24He te u toʻo ʻakimoutolu mei he hiteni, pea tānaki ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua kotoa pē, mo ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki homou fonua ʻomoutolu.
25I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols.
25Pea te u toki luluku ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae vai maʻa, pea te mou maʻa: te u fakamaʻa ʻakimoutolu mei hoʻomou fakalielia kotoa pē, pea mo homou ngaahi tamapua.
26I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
26Te u foaki foki ha loto foʻou kiate kimoutolu, pea te u ʻai kiate kimoutolu ha laumālie foʻou; te u toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻae loto maka mei homou kakano, pea te u foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae loto kakanoʻia.
27And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.
27Pea te u tuku ki loto ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa hoku laumālie, pea te u fakalotoʻi ʻakimoutolu ke ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea te mou tauhi ʻaia ʻoku ou tuʻutuʻuni, pea fai ki ai.
28Then you will live in the land that I gave your forefathers; you will be My people, and I will be your God.
28Pea te mou nofo ʻi he fonua naʻaku foaki ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai; pea te mou ʻi ai ko hoku kakai, pea te u ʻi ai au ko homou ʻOtua.
29I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will summon the grain and make it plentiful, and I will not bring famine upon you.
29Te u fakamoʻui foki ʻakimoutolu mei hoʻomou taʻemaʻa kotoa pē: pea te u ui ki he koane, pea te u fakatupu ia ke lahi, pea ʻe ʻikai tuku ha honge kiate kimoutolu.
30I will also make the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field plentiful, so that you will no longer bear reproach among the nations on account of famine.
30Pea te u fakatupu ke lahi ʻae fua ʻi he ʻakau, mo e fua ʻoe kelekele, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe manuki ʻaki hoʻomou hongea ʻe he kakai hiteni.
31Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and abominations.
31Pea te mou toki manatu ʻekimoutolu pe ki hoʻomou ngaahi faianga kovi, mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻa mou fai naʻe ʻikai lelei, pea te mou fehiʻa mate kiate kimoutolu, ʻi homou ʻao pe ʻomoutolu, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou hia, pea mo hoʻomou ngaahi fakalielia.
32It is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord GOD—let it be known to you. Be ashamed and disgraced for your ways, O house of Israel!
32Ka mou ʻilo eni, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻOku ʻikai te u fai eni koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu: ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, mou mā, pea mou puputuʻu koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou ngaahi faianga.”
33This is what the Lord GOD says: On the day I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be resettled and the ruins to be rebuilt.
33ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u fakamaʻa ai ʻakimoutolu mei hoʻomou ngaahi angahala, te u pule foki ke mou nofo ki he ngaahi kolo, pea ʻe toe langaʻi hake ʻae ngaahi potu lala.
34The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through.
34Pea ʻe toe ngoueʻi ʻae fonua ne lala, neongo naʻe tuku siʻaki pe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻonautolu kotoa pē, naʻe ʻalu ange ai.
35Then they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. The cities that were once ruined, desolate, and destroyed are now fortified and inhabited.’
35Pea te nau lea ʻo pehē, Ko e fonua ni ʻaia ne liʻaki, kuo hangē eni ko e ngoue ʻo ʻIteni; pea kuo ʻāʻi pea kuo fakakakai ʻae ngaahi kolo naʻe liʻaki mo maumauʻi.
36Then the nations around you that remain will know that I, the LORD, have rebuilt what was destroyed, and I have replanted what was desolate. I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it.
36Pea ʻe toki ʻilo ai ʻe he toenga hiteni ʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate kimoutolu, ko au ia ko Sihova, ʻoku toe langa ai ʻae ngaahi potu ne maumauʻi, pea toe ngoueʻi ʻaia naʻe liʻaki: ko au ko Sihova kuo lea ki ai, pea ko au te u fai ia.”
37This is what the Lord GOD says: Once again I will hear the plea of the house of Israel and do for them this: I will multiply their people like a flock.
37ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ka naʻa mo eni ʻe kumi au ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ke u fai ia maʻanautolu; pea te u fakatokolahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e tupu ha fanga sipi.
38Like the numerous flocks for sacrifices at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so the ruined cities will be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
38ʻO hangē ko e fanga sipi māʻoniʻoni, ʻae fanga sipi ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga māʻoniʻoni ʻi ai; ʻe pehē ʻae fakapito ʻaki ʻae kakai ʻae ngaahi kolo ne liʻaki: pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
