King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
1Naʻe hoko foki kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
2Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.
2“Ko eni, ʻa koe foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe ʻikai koā te ke fakamaau ʻae kolo pani toto? ʻIo, te ke fakahā kiate ia ʻa ʻene ngaahi fakalielia.
3Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD , The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.
3Pea ke toki pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku lilingi toto ʻe he kolo ʻi hono lotolotonga ʻo ia, koeʻuhi kae hoko hono ʻaho, ʻo ne ngaohi maʻana ʻae ngaahi tamapua, ka ne fakalielia ʻaki ia.
4Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
4Kuo ke halaia koe ʻi he toto kuo ke lilingi; pea kuo ke fakalieliaʻi koe ʻe koe ʻi he ngaahi tamapua ʻaia kuo ke ngaohi; pea kuo ke fakaofi ʻe koe ho ngaahi ʻaho, pea kuo hokosia ni ho ngaahi taʻu: ko ia ia kuo u ngaohi koe ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe hiteni, mo e lumaʻanga ki he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē.
5Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.
5ʻE manuki kiate koe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ofi, mo ia ʻoku mamaʻo, ʻa koe kuo fakalielia ho hingoa, pea kuo fakamamahiʻi ʻaupito.
6Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.
6Vakai, naʻe mālohi ke lilingi toto ʻa ho ngaahi houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻiate koe.
7In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
7Kuo nau liʻaki ʻiate koe ʻae tamai mo e faʻē: kuo nau fai fakamālohi ki he muli ʻiate koe: pea ʻiate koe kuo nau fakamamahiʻi ʻae tamai mate mo e kau fefine naʻe mate ʻa honau husepāniti.
8Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
8Kuo ke manuki ʻa ʻeku ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni, pea kuo ke fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu.
9In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
9ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae kau tangata ʻoku feʻaveʻaki lea ki he lilingi ʻoe toto: pea ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻakinautolu ʻoku kai ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga: ʻoku fai ʻae fakalielia ʻiate koe.
10In thee have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
10Kuo nau sio ʻiate koe ki he mā ʻo ʻenau tamai: kuo nau fakatōkilalo ia, ʻaia naʻe fakatapui ʻi hono mahaki.
11And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
11Pea kuo taki taha tonoʻi ʻae uaifi ʻo hono kaungāʻapi, pea kuo taki taha fai kovi mo hono ʻofefine ʻi he fono, pea kuo taki taha fai kovi mo hono tuofefine, ʻae ʻofefine ʻo ʻene tamai.
12In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD .
12Kuo nau ʻatu meʻa ʻiate koe ke lilingi ai ʻae toto; kuo ke maʻu ʻae totongi mo e tupu ʻoe koloa taʻetotonu, pea kuo ke fakatoʻotoʻo ʻae tupu ʻo hoʻo koloa ʻi he fai fakamālohi ki ho kaungāʻapi, pea kuo ke fakangalongaloʻi au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
13¶ Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
13“Vakai, ko ia ia kuo u pasi tātaha ai hoku nima, ko e meʻa ʻi he koloa taʻetotonu kuo ke maʻu, pea mo e toto kuo lilingi ʻi loto ʻiate koe.
14Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it , and will do it .
14ʻE faʻa kātaki koā ho loto, pe mālohi ho nima ʻi he ʻaho te ta fai ai mo koe? Ko au ko Sihova kuo u lea ʻaki ia, pea te u fai ki ai.
15And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
15Pea te u fakahēʻi koe ki he ngaahi hiteni mo fakamovetevete koe ki he ngaahi fonua, pea te u fakaʻosiʻosi mei ho lotolotonga ʻa hoʻo fakalielia.
16And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD .
16Pea ʻe fakalieliaʻi koe ʻe koe pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, pea te ke ʻilo au, ko au ko Sihova.”
17And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
17¶ Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
18Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
18“Foha ʻoe tangata, kuo hoko ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli kiate au ko e ʻefinanga meʻa: kuo tatau kotoa pē ʻakinautolu mo e palasa, mo e tini, mo e ukamea, mo e pulu ʻi he loto tutuʻanga meʻa; pea kuo nau tatau pe mo e toenga ʻuli ʻoe siliva.
19Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
19Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou hoko ko e ʻefinanga meʻa, vakai, ko ia ia te u tānaki ʻakimoutolu ki he lotolotonga ʻo Selūsalema.
20As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there , and melt you.
20ʻO hangē ʻoku tānaki ki he lotolotonga ʻoe tutuʻanga meʻa ʻae siliva, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea mo e pulu, pea mo e tini, kae tafu ʻae afi ki ai, ko hono haka ke vai; ʻe pehē mo ʻeku tānaki koe ʻi hoku houhau mo ʻeku tuputāmaki, pea te u tuku koe ʻi ai, pea te ke hoko ko e vai.
21Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
21ʻIo, te u tānaki ʻakimoutolu, pea te u ifi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he afi ʻo hoku houhau, pea ʻe fakavai ʻakimoutolu ʻi hono lotolotonga ʻo ia.
22As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.
22ʻO hangē ʻoku fakavai ʻae siliva ʻi he loto tutuʻanga meʻa, ʻe pehē mo e fakavai ʻa koe ʻi hono lotolotonga; pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova kuo u lilingi hoku houhau kiate kimoutolu.”
23¶ And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
23¶ Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
24Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
24“Foha ʻoe tangata, ke ke pehē kiate ia, Ko e fonua koe, ʻoku ʻikai ke fakamaʻa, pe ʻuheina, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe houhau.
25There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
25Kuo kau taha ʻae kau kikite ʻiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e laione ngungulu, ke haehae ʻene meʻakai, kuo nau faʻapuku hake ʻae ngaahi laumālie: kuo nau ʻave ʻae koloa mo e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga; kuo nau fakamasiva husepāniti ʻae fefine tokolahi ʻi ai.
26Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
26Kuo maumauʻi ʻeku fono ʻe heʻene kautaulaʻeiki, pea kuo nau fakalieliaʻi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni: naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻai ke ʻilonga ʻae māʻoniʻoni mo e fakalielia, pea naʻe ʻikai foki te nau ʻai ke ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku taʻemaʻa mo ia ʻoku maʻa, pea kuo tafoki honau mata mei hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea kuo fakalieliaʻi au ʻiate kinautolu.
27Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
27ʻOku hangē ʻae houʻeiki ʻiate ia, ko e fanga ulofi ʻoku haehae ʻenau meʻakai, ke lilingi toto, mo maumau laumālie, pea ke maʻu koloa taʻetotonu.
28And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter , seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD , when the LORD hath not spoken.
28Pea kuo laku ʻae lahe taʻepipiki ʻe heʻene kau kikite kiate kinautolu, kuo nau sio ki he vaʻinga mo kikite ʻaki ʻae loi kiate kinautolu, ʻonau pehē, ʻOku pehē, ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ka naʻe ʻikai folofola ʻa Sihova.
29The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
29Kuo fai ʻae fakamālohi ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻonau fai ʻae kaihaʻa, mo e fakamamahi ʻae masiva mo e paea: ʻio, kuo nau fakamālohi taʻetotonu ki he kau muli.
30And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
30Pea naʻaku kumi ki ha tangata ʻiate kinautolu ke ne fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻae ʻa mo tuʻu ʻi he ava ʻi hoku ʻao koeʻuhi ko e fonua, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku fakaʻauha ia; ka naʻe ʻikai ʻiloa ha taha.
31Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD .
31Ko ia kuo u lilingi atu ai ʻa hoku houhau kiate kinautolu; kuo u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he afi ʻo hoku tuputāmaki:” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “Kuo u totongi ki honau tumuʻaki pe ʻonautolu ʻa ʻenau faianga.”
