1Pea ko koe, “Foha ʻoe tangata, toʻo kiate koe ha hele māsila, toʻo kiate koe ʻae tele ʻae tangata tele kava, pea ke tele ʻaki ia ho ʻulu mo hoʻo halakava: pea ke toki toʻo ʻae meʻa fakatatau ke fakamamafa mo vahevahe ʻae louʻulu.
1And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife that shaveth the hair: and cause it to pass over thy head, and over thy beard: and take thee a balance to weigh in, and divide the hair.
2Te ke tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻa hono vahe ʻe taha ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kolo, ʻoka kakato ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono kāpui: pea te ke ʻave hono vahe ʻe taha mo ke taaʻi ia ʻaki ha hele: pea ke lī hono vahe ʻe taha ke vilingia ʻi he matangi; pea te u toho ha heletā mo tuli ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻi mui.
2A third part thou shalt burn with fire in the midst of the city, according to the fulfilling of the days of the siege: and thou shalt take a third part, and cut it in pieces with the knife all round about: and the other third part thou shalt scatter in the wind, and I will draw out the sword after them.
3Pea te ke toʻo foki ha tuʻoni louʻulu siʻi, ʻo nonoʻo ia ʻi he kapa ʻo ho kofu.
3And thou shalt take thereof a small number: and shalt bind them in the skirt of thy cloak.
4Pea toe toʻo ia, ʻo lī ki he loto afi, ke vela ʻi he loto afi; he ko ia ʻe hoko mei ai ʻae afi ki he fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli.”
4And thou shalt take of them again, and shalt cast them in the midst of the fire, and shalt burn them with fire: and out of it shall come forth a fire into all the house of Israel.
5¶ ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ko eni ʻa Selūsalema: kuo u fokotuʻu ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga mo e ngaahi fonua ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻi ai.
5Thus saith the Lord God: This is Jerusalem, I have set her in the midst of the nations, and the countries round about her.
6Pea kuo ne liliu mei heʻeku māʻoniʻoni ke angahala lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea mei heʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻo lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi fonua ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia: he kuo nau liʻaki ʻeku māʻoniʻoni, mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau ʻo ʻikai te nau ʻaʻeva ai.
6And she hath despised my judgments, so as to be more wicked than the Gentiles; and my commandments, more than the countries that are round about her: for they have cast off my judgments, and have not walked in my commandments.
7Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, koeʻuhi kuo ke fakaʻaʻau ʻo tokolahi hake ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku takatakai ʻiate koe, ʻo ʻikai ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pe maʻu ʻeku māʻoniʻoni, pe fai ke hangē ko e māʻoniʻoni ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku takatakai ʻiate koe;
7Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have surpassed the Gentiles that are round about you, and have not walked in my commandments, and have not kept my judgments, and have not done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you:
8Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, Vakai, ko au, ʻio, ko au, ʻoku tuʻu kiate koe, pea te u fai ʻae tautea kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga.
8Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, and I myself will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the Gentiles.
9Pea te u fai ʻiate koe ʻaia ʻoku teʻeki te u fai, pe te u toe fai ki mui hano tatau, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia.
9And I will do in thee that which I have not done: and the like to which I will do no more, because of all thy abominations.
10Ko ia ʻe kai ai ʻe he ngaahi tamai ʻa honau ngaahi foha ʻi loto ʻiate koe, pea kai ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻenau ngaahi tamai: pea te u fai ʻae fakamalaʻia ʻiate koe, pea ko e toenga ʻiate koe te u vilingia atu ki he feituʻu matangi kotoa pē.”
10Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers: and I will execute judgments in thee, and I will scatter thy whole remnant into every wind.
11Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻOku ou moʻui, pea ko e moʻoni ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fakalielia ʻaki hoku fale tapu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakalielia mo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue ʻuli, ko ia te u fakaʻaʻau ai koe ki mui; pea ʻe ʻikai mamae hoku mata, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻiate au ha manavaʻofa.
11Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God: Because thou hast violated my sanctuary with all thy offences, and with ail thy abominations: I will also break thee in pieces, and my eye shall not spare, and I will not have any pity.
12Ko e vahe ʻe taha ʻiate koe ʻe mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha, pea te nau ʻauha hongea ʻi loto ʻiate koe; pea ko ho vahe ʻe taha ʻe tō hifo takatakai ʻiate koe ʻi he heletā: pea ko hono vahe ʻe taha te u vilingia ki he feituʻu matangi kotoa pē, pea te u tuli ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae heletā.
12A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and shall be consumed with famine in the midst of thee: and a third part of thee shall fall by the sword round about thee: and a third part of thee will I scatter into every wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
13ʻE pehē ʻae hoko ʻa ʻeku houhau, pea te u tuku ʻa ʻeku houhau ke nofo kiate kinautolu, pea te u fiemālie ai: pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova kuo lea ʻaki eni ʻi heʻeku fakamoʻomoʻoni, ʻo kau ka fakaʻosi ʻeku tuputāmaki kiate kinautolu.
13And I will accomplish my fury, and will cause my indignation to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I shall have accomplished my indignation in them.
14Pea te u ngaohi foki koe ke lala pea ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku takatakai ʻiate koe, ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ange ʻiate koe.
14And I will make thee desolate, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of every one that passeth by.
15Ko ia ʻe hoko ai ia ko e manukiʻanga mo e taukaeʻanga, pea ko e ako mo e fakaofo ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai ʻiate koe, ʻo kau ka fai ʻae fakamalaʻia ʻiate koe ʻi he tuputāmaki mo e houhau mo e valoki kakaha. Ko au ko Sihova kuo u lea ʻaki eni.
15And thou shalt be a reproach, and a scoff, an example, and an astonishment amongst the nations that are round about thee, when I shall have executed judgments in thee in anger, and in indignation, and in wrathful rebukes.
16ʻO kau ka fakahoko kiate kinautolu ʻae ngahau fakakona ʻoe honge, ʻaia ko e ʻauhaʻanga, ʻaia te u tuku atu ke fakaʻosi ʻakimoutolu: pea te u fakalahi ʻae honge kiate kimoutolu pea te u fesiʻi ʻae tokotoko ʻoe ma:
16I the Lord have spoken it: When I shall send upon them the grievous arrows of famine, which shall bring death, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will gather together famine against you: and I will break among you the staff of bread.
17ʻE pehē ʻeku fekau atu kiate kimoutolu ʻae honge mo e fanga manu fekai, pea te nau fakatokosiʻi ʻakimoutolu; pea ʻe ʻalu atu ʻiate koe ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha mo e toto; pea te u fakatō hifo kiate koe ʻae heletā, Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku lea ʻaki eni.”
17And I will send in upon you famine, and evil beasts unto utter destruction: and pestilence, and blood shall pass through thee, and I will bring in the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it.
