1Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, tuʻu hake ki ho vaʻe pea te u lea kiate koe.”
1He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2Pea ʻi heʻene folofola mai, naʻe hoko mai ʻae laumālie kiate au, ʻo ne fokotuʻu au ki hoku vaʻe, pea u fanongo kiate ia naʻe lea kiate au.
2The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.
3Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoku ou fekau atu koe ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he puleʻanga angatuʻu, kuo angatuʻu kiate au: kuo fai angahala kiate au ʻakinautolu mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
3He said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
4He ko e fānau mata fielahi mo loto fefeka ʻakinautolu. Ko au ia ʻoku ou fekau atu koe kiate kinautolu; pea te ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
4The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
5Pea neongo ʻenau loto ke fanongo, pe ko ʻenau taʻeloto ki ai, (he ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu,) ka te nau ʻilo naʻe ai ha palōfita ʻiate kinautolu.
5They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that there has been a prophet among them.
6¶ “Pea ko koe, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē kiate kinautolu pea ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē ki heʻenau lea, neongo hoʻo ʻi he ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻāmoa, pea ke nofo hifo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi sikopio: ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē ki heʻenau lea, pea ʻoua naʻa ke lilika ʻi heʻenau sio: ka ko e moʻoni ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu.
6You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
7Pea te ke lea ʻaki ʻe koe ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea kiate kinautolu, pe te nau loto ke fanongo ki ai, pe te nau taʻeloto ki ai he ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ʻenau angatuʻu.
7You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; for they are most rebellious.
8Ka ko koe, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, fanongo ki he meʻa ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe: ʻoua naʻa ke angatuʻu koe ʻo hangē ko e fale angatuʻu na: fakamanga ho ngutu pea ke kai ʻaia te u foaki kiate koe.”
8But you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Don’t be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.”
9¶ Pea ʻi heʻeku sio, vakai, naʻe fakahā mai kiate au ʻae nima; pea vakai naʻe ʻi ai ʻae takainga tohi;
9When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
10Pea ne folofolahi ia ʻi hoku ʻao; pea naʻe tohi ia ʻi loto pea ʻituʻa: pea naʻe tohi ʻi ai ʻae tangi, mo e mamahi, pea mo e malaʻia.
10He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.
