1And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, saying:
1Naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻi hono hiva ʻoe taʻu, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, mo hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he māhina, ʻo pehē,
2Son of man, write thee the name of this day, on which the king of Babylon hath set himself against Jerusalem today.
2Foha ʻoe tangata, tohi ʻe koe ʻae hingoa ʻoe ʻaho ko eni: he naʻe teuteu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Selūsalema ʻi he ʻaho ko eni.
3And thou shalt speak by a figure a parable to the provoking house, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Set on a pot, set it on, I say, and put water into it.
3Pea ke lea ʻaki ha fakatātā ki he fale angatuʻu, mo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Fokotuʻu ʻae kulo, fokotuʻu ia pea lilingi ha vai ki ai:
4Heap together into if the pieces thereof, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder, choice pieces and full of bones.
4Tānaki ʻae ngaahi konga ki ai, ʻae konga lelei kotoa pē, ʻae alanga mui mo e alanga muʻa; fakafonu ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi hui lelei.
5Take the fattest of the flock, and lay together piles of bones under it: the seething thereof is boiling hot, and the bones thereof are thoroughly sodden in the midst of it.
5Fili mai ʻaia ʻoku lelei hake ʻi he fanga manu, pea ʻai ʻae ngaahi hui ki lalo ʻi ai, pea ʻai ke lelei ʻaupito, pea fakamoho ʻae hui ʻi ai.”
6Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and its rust is not gone out of it: cast it out piece by piece, there hath no lot fallen upon it.
6Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Malaʻia ki he kolo kuo pani toto, ʻae kulo ko ia, ʻoku kei ʻi ai ʻae ʻuli, kuo teʻeki ke mavahe hono ʻuli mei ai! Toʻo taki taha mai ʻae konga mei ai, pea ʻoua naʻa filifilimānako.
7For her blood is in the midst of her, she hath shed it upon the smooth rock: she hath not shed it upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust.
7He ʻoku ʻi loto ʻiate ia ʻa hono toto kuo ne ʻai ia ki he funga maka; naʻe ʻikai te ne lilingi ia ki he kelekele ke ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae efu:
8And that I might bring my indignation upon her, and take my vengeance: I have shed her blood upon the smooth rock, that it should not be covered.
8Ka koeʻuhi ke tupu ʻae houhau mo fakahoko hono tautea; kuo u tuku ai hono toto ki he funga maka, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻufiʻufi ia.”
9Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, of which I will make a great bonfire.
9Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Malaʻia ki he kolo pani toto! ʻIo, te u fokotuʻu ke lahi ʻae fefie ki he afi.
10Heap together the bones, which I will burn with Are: the flesh shall be consumed, and the whole composition shall be sodden, and the bones shall be consumed.
10ʻAi pe ʻae fefie, pea tafu ʻae afi, pea tutu ʻae kakano, pea ʻai ke fifisi lahi, pea tuku ke vela ʻae ngaahi hui.
11Then set it empty upon burning coals, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may be melted: and let the filth of it be melted in the midst thereof, and let the rust of it be consumed.
11Pea toki ʻai maha pe ia ki he afi, koeʻuhi ke vela ai hono palasa, ʻio, ke vela, pea koeʻuhi ke molū hono fakalielia ʻi ai, pea ke ʻosi mei ai ʻae ʻuli ʻoku tētē.
12Great pains have been taken, and the great rust thereof is not gone out, not even by fire.
12Kuo ne fakaongosia ia ʻi he ngaahi loi, pea naʻe ʻikai mahuʻi meiate ia ʻa hono ʻuli: ko e meʻa ʻuli ʻi ai ʻe tō ki he afi.
13Thy uncleanness is execrable: because I desired to cleanse thee, and thou art not cleansed from thy filthiness: neither shalt thou be cleansed, before I cause my indignation to rest in thee.
13ʻOku fakalielia hoʻo meʻa ʻuli: pea koeʻuhi kuo u fakamaʻa koe kae ʻikai te ke maʻa, ʻe ʻikai toe fakamaʻa koe, kaeʻoua ke u ʻai ke hoko ʻa hoku houhau kiate koe.
14I the Lord have spoken: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not pass by, nor spare, nor be pacified: I will judge thee according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, saith the Lord.
14Ko au ko Sihova kuo u lea ki ai: ʻe hoko pe ia, pea te u fai ia ʻeau; ʻe ʻikai te u fakaholomui, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mamae, pe te u fakatomala; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, te nau fakamaauʻi koe ʻo fakatatau ki ho hala, pea tatau mo hoʻo ngāue kuo ke fai.”
15And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
15¶ Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
16Son of man, behold I take from thee the desire of thy eyes with a stroke: and thou shalt not lament, nor weep: neither shall thy tears run down.
16“Foha ʻoe tangata, vakai, ʻoku ou toʻo atu ʻaia ʻoku holi ki ai ho mata, ʻi he tā pe taha: ka ʻe ʻikai te ke mamahi pe tangi, pea ʻe ʻikai tafe hifo ho loʻimata.
17Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead: let the tire of thy head be upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet, and cover not thy face, nor eat the meat of mourners.
17ʻOua naʻa tangi, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ha mamahi, koeʻuhi ko e pekia; ʻai pe ʻae tatā ki ho ʻulu, pea ʻai mo e topuvaʻe ki ho vaʻe, pea ʻoua naʻa puke ngutu, pea ʻoua naʻa kai ʻae mā ʻae kau tangilāulau.”
18So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening: and I did in the morning as he had commanded me.
18Ko ia naʻaku lea ki he kakai ʻi he pongipongi: pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he efiafi naʻe pekia ʻa hoku uaifi; pea naʻaku fai ʻi he pongipongi ʻe taha ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau mai.
19And the people said to me: Why dost thou not tell us what these things mean that thou doest?
19¶ Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe he kakai kiate au, “ʻE ʻikai te ke fakahā mai hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimautolu, pe ko e hā kuo ke fai pehē ai?”
20And I said to them: The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
20Pea naʻaku tali ʻaki ʻeni kiate kinautolu, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
21Speak to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will profane my sanctuary, the glory of your realm, and the thing that your eyes desire, and for which your soul feareth: your sons, and your daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword.
21“Lea ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai te u fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku fale tapu, ʻaia ko homou mālohiʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku holi ki ai ho mata, pea mamae ki ai ho laumālie; pea ko ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine kuo mou tuku ʻe hinga ʻi he heletā.
22And you shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your faces, nor shall you eat the meat of mourners.
22Pea te mou fai ʻo hangē ko ia kuo u fai: ʻe ʻikai te mou pupuni ngutu, pe te mou kai ʻi he mā ʻae kakai tangilāulau.
23You shall have crowns on your heads, and shoes on your feet: you shall not lament nor weep, but you shall pine away for your iniquities, and every one shall sigh with his brother.
23Pea ʻe tatā pe homou ʻulu, pea ʻai mo e topuvaʻe ki homou vaʻe ʻe ʻikai te mou mamahi pe fai ʻae tangi ka te mou fakaʻauʻausino pe, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou hia, pea femamahiʻaki pe ʻiate kimoutolu
24And Ezechiel shall be unto you for a sign of things to come: according to all that he hath done, so shall you do, when this shall come to pass: and you shall know that I am the Lord God.
24Ko ia ko ʻIsikieli ko e fakaʻilonga ia kiate kimoutolu: te mou fai ʻekimoutolu ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē kuo ne fai ʻe ia: pea ka hoko mai eni, te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
25And thou, O son of man, behold in the day wherein I will take away from them their strength, and the joy of their glory, and the desire of their eyes, upon which their souls rest, their sons and their daughters.
25¶ “Ko eni foki, ʻa koe foha ʻoe tangata, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te u toʻo atu ai meiate kinautolu honau mālohi, mo e fiefia ʻo ʻenau nāunau, ʻae holi ʻa honau mata, mo ia kuo tukupau honau loto ki ai, ʻa honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻikai ʻe pehē,
26In that day when he that escapeth shall come to thee, to tell thee:
26Ko ia ʻe hao ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe haʻu kiate koe ke fakaongo ia ki ho telinga?
27In that day, I say, shall thy mouth be opened to him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and shalt be silent no more: and thou shalt be unto them for a sign of things to come, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
27ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe matoʻo ho ngutu kiate ia kuo hao, pea te ke lea, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke kei noa: pea ko e fakaʻilonga koe kiate kinautolu; pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
