1Pea naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
1And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2“Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahangatonu ho mata ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea kikite ki ai,
2“Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.
3Mo pehē, ʻE ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ki he ngaahi moʻunga mo e ngaahi tafungofunga mo e ngaahi vaitafe, pea ki he ngaahi teleʻa; Vakai ko au, ʻio, ko au, te u ʻomi ʻae heletā kiate kimoutolu, pea te u fakaʻauha homou ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
3You are to say: ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! This is what the Lord GOD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.
4Pea ʻe liʻaki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea ʻe maumauʻi homou ngaahi tamapua: pea te u lī hifo ʻa hoʻomou mate ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou ngaahi tamapua.
4Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will cast down your slain before your idols.
5Pea te u tuku ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi tamapua; pea te u tūtuuʻi takatakai homou hui ʻi he ngaahi feilaulauʻanga.
5I will lay the corpses of the Israelites before their idols and scatter your bones around your altars.
6Pea ʻe fakalala homou ngaahi kolo ʻi homou potu nofoʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻe ngaongao homou ngaahi potu fakaʻeiʻeiki; koeʻuhi ke veteki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulauʻanga mo liʻaki, pea maumauʻi mo fakaʻosi homou ngaahi ʻotua, pea hifi ki lalo homou ngaahi tamapua, pea fakaʻauhamālie hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue.
6Wherever you live, the cities will be laid waste and the high places will be demolished, so that your altars will be laid waste and desecrated, your idols smashed and obliterated, your incense altars cut down, and your works blotted out.
7Pea ʻe tō hifo ʻae mate tāmateʻi ʻi loto ʻiate koe, pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.
7The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.
8¶ “Ka te u tuku ha toenga, koeʻuhi ke ai haʻamou niʻihi ʻe hao mei he heletā ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻoka movetevete ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi fonua.
8Yet I will leave a remnant, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the nations and throughout the lands.
9Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku hao ʻiate kimoutolu te nau manatu kiate au, ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia ʻe ʻave pōpula ki ai ʻakinautolu, ʻo kau ka fesiʻi honau loto angahala naʻe mamaʻo ʻiate au, mo honau mata naʻe sio holi pe ki honau ngaahi tamapua: pea te nau fehiʻa ʻaupito kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi kovi ʻaia kuo nau fai ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakalielia.
9Then in the nations to which they have been carried captive, your survivors will remember Me—how I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts that turned away from Me, and by their eyes that lusted after idols. So they will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their abominations.
10Pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, naʻe ʻikai te u lea vaʻinga ʻaki ʻa ʻeku pehē te u fai ʻae kovi ni kiate kinautolu.”
10And they will know that I am the LORD; I did not declare in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them.
11¶ ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ke pasi ho nima pea malakaki ho vaʻe, pea ke pehē, ʻOiauē ʻae ngaahi kovi fakalielia ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli! He te nau tō ʻi he heletā, mo e honge, mo e mahaki fakaʻauha.
11This is what the Lord GOD says: Clap your hands, stomp your feet, and cry out “Alas!” because of all the wicked abominations of the house of Israel, who will fall by sword and famine and plague.
12Ko ia ʻoku nofo mamaʻo ʻe mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha; pea ko ia ʻoku ofi ʻe tō ʻi he heletā; pea ko ia ʻoku toe ʻi he nofo kolo ʻe mate ʻi he honge: ʻe pehē ʻeku fakahoko hoku houhau kiate kinautolu.
12He who is far off will die by the plague, he who is near will fall by the sword, and he who remains will die by famine. So I will vent My fury upon them.
13Pea te nau toki ʻilo, tā ko au ko Sihova, ʻoka tuku honau kakai tāmatea fakataha mo honau ngaahi tamapua ʻo takatakai ʻi honau ngaahi ʻesifeilaulau, ʻi he potu māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he tumuʻaki ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, ʻi he lolo ʻakau moʻui kotoa pē, pea ʻi he lolo ʻoke lau maʻuiʻui ʻaia ne ʻatu ai ʻae namu kakala ki honau ngaahi tamapua.
13Then you will know that I am the LORD, when their slain lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, and under every green tree and leafy oak—the places where they offered fragrant incense to all their idols.
14ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku mafao atu hoku nima kiate kinautolu, mo fakaʻauha ʻae fonua, ʻio, ʻe lahi hake ʻae lala ʻo honau ngaahi nofoʻanga, ʻi he toafa ko Tipilate; pea te nau ʻilo ai ko au ko Sihova.”
14I will stretch out My hand against them, and wherever they live I will make the land a desolate waste, from the wilderness to Diblah. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
