1“Yes, in those days and at that time, when I restore Judah and Jerusalem from captivity,
1“Vakai, koeʻuhi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻaia te u toe ʻomi ai ʻae pōpula ʻo Siuta mo Selūsalema,
2I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning My people, My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations as they divided up My land.
2Te u tānaki foki ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea te u ʻomi ki lalo ʻakinautolu ki he teleʻa ʻo Sihosafate, pea te u fakamaauʻi ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko hoku kakai, pea mo hoku tofiʻa ko ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo nau fakamovetevete ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea vaheʻi hoku fonua.
3They cast lots for My people; they bartered a boy for a prostitute and sold a girl for wine to drink.
3Pea kuo nau talotalo ki hoku kakai: pea kuo nau foaki ha tamasiʻi ke maʻu ʻaki ha fefine feʻauaki, pea nau fakatau ʻae taʻahine maʻa e uaine, koeʻuhi ke nau inu.
4Now what do you have against Me, O Tyre, Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you rendering against Me a recompense? If you retaliate against Me, I will swiftly and speedily return your recompense upon your heads.
4“ʻIo, pea ko e hā ʻamoutolu ke mo fai mo au, ʻe Taia mo Saitone, pea mo e matātahi kotoa pē ʻo Palesitaine? Te mou totongi kiate au? Pea kapau te mou totongi mai, ʻe mātuʻaki vave mo toʻotoʻo ʻeku toe ʻatu hoʻomou totongi ki homou tumuʻaki;
5For you took My silver and gold and carried off My finest treasures to your temples.
5Koeʻuhi kuo mou ʻave ʻeku siliva mo ʻeku koula, pea kuo mou ʻave ki homou ngaahi fale fakaʻeiki ʻa ʻeku ngaahi meʻa matamatalelei mo ʻaonga:
6You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, to send them far from their homeland.
6Ko e fānau foki ʻa Siuta, pea mo e fānau ʻa Selūsalema kuo mou fakatau ki he kakai Kalisi, koeʻuhi ke mou fakahē mamaʻo ʻakinautolu mei honau mata fonua.
7Behold, I will rouse them from the places to which you sold them; I will return your recompense upon your heads.
7Vakai, te u hiki ʻakinautolu mei he potu ne mou fakatau ʻakinautolu ki ai, pea te u toe ʻatu hoʻomou totongi ki homou tumuʻaki:
8I will sell your sons and daughters into the hands of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans—to a distant nation.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
8Pea te u fakatau homou ngaahi foha mo homou ngaahi ʻofefine ki he nima ʻoe fānau ʻa Siuta, pea te nau fakatau ʻakinautolu ki he kakai Sapea, ki ha kakai mamaʻo atu: he kuo pehē ʻe Sihova.”
9Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war; rouse the mighty men; let all the men of war advance and attack!
9“Fanongonongo eni ki he ngaahi Senitaile, “Teuteu ʻae tau, fakaʻā ʻae kau tangata mālohi, tuku ke unu mai ʻae kau tangata tau kotoa pē; ke nau ʻalu hake:
10Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong!’
10Tuki ʻaki hoʻomou huo toho ʻae ngaahi heletā, pea mo hoʻomou ngaahi hele ʻauhani ʻae ngaahi tao: ke pehē ʻe he vaivai, ‘ʻoku ou mālohi;’
11Come quickly, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves. Bring down Your mighty ones, O LORD.
11Fakataha ʻakimoutolu, pea haʻu ʻakimoutolu ko e kau hiteni, pea tānaki takatakai ʻakimoutolu:” ʻE Sihova, ke hifo ʻi hena hoʻo kau mālohi:
12Let the nations be roused and advance to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit down to judge all the nations on every side.
12“Ke ʻā ʻae hiteni, pea ʻalu hake ki he teleʻa ʻo Sihosafate: he te u nofo ʻi ai ke fakamaauʻi ʻae hiteni ʻoku nofo takatakai.
13Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full; the wine vats overflow because their wickedness is great.
13ʻAi ʻae hele tuʻusi, he kuo motuʻa ʻae taʻu: haʻu, pea ʻalu hifo; he kuo pito ʻae tataʻoʻanga, ʻoku mahuohua ʻae ngaahi puha fakatali; koeʻuhi ʻoku lahi ʻenau angahala.”
14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the Day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
14Ko e fuʻu tokolahi, ko e fuʻu tokolahi ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe fakamaau: he ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sihova ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe fakamaau.
15The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will no longer shine.

16The LORD will roar from Zion and raise His voice from Jerusalem; heaven and earth will tremble. But the LORD will be a refuge for His people, a stronghold for the people of Israel.
16ʻE ʻuʻulu ʻa Sihova mei Saione, pea ʻe fakaongo hono leʻo mei Selūsalema; pea ʻe lulululu ʻae langi mo māmani: ka ko Sihova ko e ʻamanaki leleiʻanga ia ʻo hono kakai, pea ko e mālohiʻanga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
17Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who dwells in Zion, My holy mountain. Jerusalem will be holy, never again to be overrun by foreigners.
17“Pea te mou ʻilo ai ko au ko Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua ʻoku ʻafio ʻi Saione, ko hoku moʻunga tapu: pea ʻe toki māʻoniʻoni ʻa Selūsalema, pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻalu ʻiate ia ha muli.
18And in that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine, and the hills will flow with milk. All the streams of Judah will run with water, and a spring will flow from the house of the LORD to water the Valley of Acacias.
18“Pea ʻe pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ko e ngaahi moʻunga te nau toʻiʻi ʻae uaine foʻou, pea ʻe tafe ʻae huhuʻa ʻi he ngaahi tafungofunga, pea ko e ngaahi vaitafe kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻe tafe ai ʻae vai, pea ko e matavai ʻe pa mai mei he fale ʻo Sihova, pea fakavai ʻae teleʻa ʻo Sitimi.
19Egypt will become desolate, and Edom a desert wasteland, because of the violence done to the people of Judah, in whose land they shed innocent blood.
19ʻE lala ʻa ʻIsipite, pea ʻe hoko ʻa ʻItomi ko e toafa kuo lala, koeʻuhi ko e fakamālohi ki he fānau ʻa Siuta, he kuo nau lilingi ʻae toto taʻehalaia ʻi honau fonua.
20But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
20Ka ʻe nofo ʻa Siuta ʻo taʻengata, pea mo Selūsalema mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.
21For I will avenge their blood, which I have not yet avenged.” For the LORD dwells in Zion.
21Koeʻuhi te u fakamaʻa ʻae toto ʻi ai ʻoku teʻeki ai te u fakamaʻa: he ʻoku ʻafio ʻa Sihova ʻi Saione.”
