King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD , because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
1“ʻAi ʻae meʻalea ki ho ngutu. Te ne haʻu ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale ki he fale ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo nau maumauʻi ʻeku fuakava, pea fai talangataʻa ki heʻeku fono.
2Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
2ʻE tangi ʻa ʻIsileli kiate au, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku mau ʻilo koe.’
3Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
3Kuo liʻaki ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae meʻa ʻoku lelei: ʻe tuli ia ʻe he fili.
4They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
4Kuo nau fakanofo ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, kae ʻikai ʻiate au: kuo nau tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki, pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo: kuo nau ngaohi ʻaki ʻa ʻenau siliva mo ʻenau koula ʻae tamapua, koeʻuhi ka nau ʻauha.
5¶ Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
5Ko hoʻo ʻuhiki pulu, ʻE Samēlia, kuo ne liʻaki koe; kuo tupu ʻeku ʻita kiate kinautolu: ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa, ka nau hoko ʻo taʻehalaia?
6For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
6He naʻe meia ʻIsileli foki ia: ko e tufunga naʻa ne ngaohi ia; ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ia: ka ko e pulu siʻi ʻa Samēlia, ʻe maumauʻi ia ke fakaikiiki.
7For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
7He kuo nau tūtuuʻi ʻae matangi, pea te nau utu ʻae ʻahiohio: ʻoku ʻikai hano muka: ʻe ʻikai maʻu ha mahoaʻa mei hono fua: ka ai ha fua, ʻe kai ia ʻo ʻosi ʻe he kau muli.
8Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
8Kuo fōngia hifo ʻa ʻIsileli: te nau hoko ni ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe Senitaile, ʻo hangē ko e ipu ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha fiemālie.
9For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
9He kuo nau ʻalu hake ki ʻAsilia, ha ʻasi kai vao tokotaha pe: kuo unga ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻae kau mamana.
10Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
10ʻIo, neongo kuo nau unga ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, te u tānaki ni ʻakinautolu, pea te nau mamahi siʻi, koeʻuhi ko e kavenga ʻae tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki.
11Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
11Koeʻuhi kuo ngaohi ʻe ʻIfalemi ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga lahi ke angahala, ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ke angahala ai.
12I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
12Kuo u tohi kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻa ʻeku fono, ka naʻe lau ia hangē ha meʻa kehe.
13They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
13ʻOku nau feilaulau ʻaki ʻae kakano, ko e ngaahi feilaulau ʻo ʻeku ngaahi hifo, pea kai; ka ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu ia ʻe Sihova, he te ne manatu ni ʻenau hia, pea totongi ki heʻenau ngaahi angahala: te nau liliu atu ki ʻIsipite.
14For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
14He kuo fakangaloʻi ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa hono Tupuʻanga, pea ʻoku ne langa ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiki; pea kuo fakalahi ʻe Siuta ʻae ngaahi kolo kuo ʻāʻi: ka te u fekau ʻae afi ki hono ngaahi kolo, pea te ne kai ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻi ai.”
