1I will stand upon my watch, and fix my foot upon the tower: and I will watch, to see what will be said to me, and what I may answer to him that reproveth me.
1Te u tuʻu ʻi heʻeku leʻo, pea u nofo ʻi hoku fale leʻo, pea te u leʻo ke ʻilo pe ko e hā te ne folofola mai kiate au, pea ko e hā te u tali ʻaki ʻoka valokiʻi au.
2And the Lord answered me, and said: Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables: that he that readeth it may run over it.
2Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Tohi ʻae meʻa hā mai, pea fai ke ʻilongofua ia ʻi he ngaahi palepale, koeʻuhi ke faʻa lele ʻe ia ʻoku ne lau ia.
3For as yet the vision is far off, and it shall appear at the end, and shall not lie: if it make any delay, wait for it: for it shall surely come, and it shall not be slack.
3He ʻoku tuku ʻae meʻa hā mai ki ha kuonga kuo kotofa, pea ʻe lea ia ʻi he ngataʻanga, ka ʻe ʻikai loi: kapau ʻoku tuai ia, tatali ki ai, koeʻuhi ʻe hoko moʻoni ia, ʻe ʻikai tuai ia.

4Vakai, ko ia ʻoku hiki hake ʻa hono laumālie, ʻoku ʻikai angatonu ia ʻiate ia ka ko e tonuhia ʻe moʻui ʻi heʻene tui.”
5And as wine deceiveth him that drinketh it: so shall the proud man be, and he shall not be honoured: who hath enlarged his desire like hell: and is himself like death, and he is never satisfied: but will gather together unto him all nations, and heap together unto him all people.
5¶ Ko e moʻoni, hangē ko e tangata ʻoku angahala ʻi he uaine, ʻoku fielahi ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai nofomaʻu ʻi hono ʻapi: ʻoku ne fakalahi ʻene holi ʻo hangē ko e faʻitoka, pea tatau mo e mate, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke mākona, ka ʻoku tānaki kiate ia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻoku fokotuʻu ki ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē:
6Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a dark speech concerning him: and it shall be said: Woe to him that heapeth together that which is not his own? how long also doth he load himself with thick clay?
6ʻE ʻikai toʻo hake ʻekinautolu ni kotoa pē ʻae lea fakatātā kiate ia, pea mo e lea taukae kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke malaʻia kiate ia ʻoku fakalahi ʻaki ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻana! ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa? Pea kiate ia ʻoku fakamamafa ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae ʻumea matolu!’
7Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee: and they be stirred up that shall tear thee, and thou shalt be a spoil to them?
7ʻIkai ʻe tuʻu hake fakafokifā ʻakinautolu ʻo ʻuusi koe, pea ʻā ʻaia ʻe fakaʻitaʻi koe, pea ʻe hoko koe ko e vetea kiate kinautolu?
8Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all that shall be left of the people shall spoil thee: because of men’s blood, and for the iniquity of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
8Koeʻuhi kuo ke fakamālohi ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ʻe fakamālohiʻi koe ʻe he toenga kotoa pē ʻoe kakai; koeʻuhi ko e toto ʻoe kakai, mo e fakamālohi ki he fonua, mo e kolo, mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ai.
9Woe to him that gathereth together an evil covetousness to his house, that his nest may be on high, and thinketh he may be delivered out of the hand of evil.
9Ke malaʻia kiate ia ʻoku manumanu ki he koloa kovi ki hono fale, koeʻuhi ke ne ngaohi hono pununga ʻi he māʻolunga, koeʻuhi ke fakahaofi ia mei he mālohi ʻoe kovi!
10Thou hast devised confusion to thy house, thou hast cut off many people, and thy soul hath sinned.
10Kuo ke filioʻi ʻae fakamā ki ho fale ʻi he tuʻusi ʻoe kakai tokolahi, pea kuo ke angahala ki ho laumālie.
11For the stone shall cry out of the wall: and the timber that is between the joints of the building, shall answer.
11ʻE tangi ʻae maka mei he ʻā, pea ʻe tali ia ʻe he ʻakau alanga fale.
12Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and prepareth a city by iniquity.
12¶ Ke malaʻia kiate ia ʻoku langa ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae toto, pea fokotuʻu ʻae kolo ʻi he angahala!

13Vakai, ʻikai ʻoku meia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻae kakai maʻa e afi pe, pea mo e fakamamahiʻi ʻae kakai ʻekinautolu ʻi he vaʻinga moʻoni?

16Thou art filled with shame instead of glory: drink thou also, and fall fast asleep: the cup of the right hand of the Lord shall compass thee, and shameful vomiting shall be on thy glory.
16Kuo fakapito ʻaki koe ʻae fakamā ko ho nāunau: ke ke inu foki, pea ʻe puke koe ʻi he tetetete mo e ofo lahi: ʻe ʻatu kiate koe ʻae ipu mei he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe fakalieliaʻi ho nāunau.

18¶ “Ko e hā hono ʻaonga ʻoe fakatātā kuo tā, koeʻuhi ke tā ia ʻe he tufunga ʻo ia; pe ko e fakatātā haka, mo e akonaki loi, koeʻuhi ʻoku falala ʻae tufunga ki heʻene ngāue, ke ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi tamapua noa?
19Woe to him that saith to wood: Awake: to the dumb stone: Arise: can it teach? Behold, it is laid over with gold, and silver, and there is no spirit in the bowels thereof.
