1Vakai, he ko e ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻoku ne toʻo atu mei Selūsalema pea mo Siuta ʻae falalaʻanga mo e tokoni, ʻae tokoni kotoa pē ʻoe meʻakai, mo e tokoni kotoa pē ʻoe vai,
1For behold the sovereign the Lord of hosts shall take away from Jerusalem, and from Juda the valiant and the strong, the whole strength of bread, and the whole strength of water.
2Ko e tangata mālohi, pea mo e tangata tau, ko e fakamaau, pea mo e palōfita, ʻae fakamākukanga, pea mo e mātuʻa,
2The strong man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the cunning man, and the ancient.
3Ko e ʻeikitau ʻae toko nimangofulu, pea mo e tangata ongoongolelei, pea mo e tangata akonaki poto, pea mo e tangata poto ʻi he faiva, pea mo e tangata lea mālie.
3The captain over fifty, and the honourable in countenance, and the counsellor, and the architect, and the skillful in eloquent speech.
4Pea te u fakanofo ʻae tamaiki ko honau houʻeiki, pea ʻe pule kiate kinautolu ʻae kau valevale.
4And I will give children to be their princes, and the effeminate shall rule over them.
5Pea ʻe fefakamamahiʻaki ʻae kakai ʻiate kinautolu, pea mo honau kaungāʻapi: ʻe anga fielahi ʻae tamasiʻi ki he motuʻa, mo e angakovi kiate ia ʻoku ongoongolelei.
5And the people shall rush one upon another, and every man against his neighbour: the child shall make it tumult against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
6Pea ʻe puke ʻe ha tangata ʻa hono tokoua ʻi he fale ʻo ʻene tamai, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi kofu, ke ke hoko ko homau pule, pea toʻo ʻe ho nima ʻa ʻemau malaʻia ni:”
6For a man shall take hold or his brother, one of the house of his father, saying: Thou hast a garment, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand.
7ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te ne fuakava, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u hoko ko e fakamoʻui; he ʻoku ʻikai ha mā pe ha kofu ʻi hoku fale: ʻoua naʻa ngaohi au ko e pule ʻoe kakai.”
7In that day he shall answer, saying: I am no healer, and in my house there is no bread, nor clothing: make me not ruler of the people.
8He kuo malaʻia ʻa Selūsalema, pea kuo hinga mo Siuta: he ko honau ʻelelo mo ʻenau faianga ʻoku kovi kia Sihova, ke fakahouhauʻi ʻae fofonga ʻo ʻene ʻafio.
8For Jerusalem is ruined, and Juda is fallen: because their tongue, and their devices are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his majesty.
9Ko e anga ʻo honau mata ko e fakaʻilonga ʻonautolu; pea ʻoku nau fakahā ʻa ʻenau angahala ʻo hangē ko Sotoma, ʻoku ʻikai te nau fufū ia. ʻE malaʻia honau laumālie! He kuo nau fakahoko ʻae kovi kiate kinautolu.
9The shew of their countenance hath answered them: and they have proclaimed abroad their sin as Sodom, and they have not hid it: woe to their souls, for evils are rendered to them.
10Mou pehē ki he māʻoniʻoni, “E hoko pe ʻae lelei:’ he te nau kai ʻae fua ʻo ʻenau faianga.
10Say to the just man that it is well, for he shall eat the fruit of his doings.
11ʻE malaʻia ʻae angahala! ʻE hoko ʻae kovi kiate ia: he ko e totongi ʻo hono nima ʻe ange kiate ia.
11Woe to the wicked unto evil: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12Ka ko hoku kakai, kuo fakamālohiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he tamaiki, pea ʻoku puleʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau fefine. ʻE hoku kakai, ʻoku fakahalaʻi koe ʻe hoʻo kau takimuʻa, ʻonau fakakehe ʻae ʻaluʻanga ʻo ho ngaahi hala.
12As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them. O my people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps.
13ʻOku tuʻu hake ʻa Sihova ke folofola, ʻoku tuʻu ia ke fakamaau ʻae kakai.
13The Lord standeth up to judge, and he standeth to judge the people.
14ʻE fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo hono kakai, pea mo honau houʻeiki: “he kuo mou kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngoue vaine; ʻoku ʻi homou fale ʻae koloa kuo faʻao mei he kakai masiva.
14The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and its princes: for you have devoured the vineyard, and the spoil of the poor is in your house.
15ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻEiki ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻo hoʻomou taʻomia ʻa hoku kakai, ʻo momosi ʻae mata ʻoe masiva?”
15Why do you consume my people, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the God of hosts.
16Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Koeʻuhi ʻoku fielahi ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Saione, mo nau ʻaʻeva fakamofutofuta mo e mata holi kovi, mo ʻalu fakatekiteki pe, mo fakapakihi honau vaʻe:
16And the Lord said: Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with stretched out necks, and wanton glances of their eyes, and made a noise as they walked with their feet and moved in a set pace:
17Ko ia ʻe taaʻi ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae tumuʻaki ʻoe ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Saione ʻaki ʻae pala, pea ʻe fakatelefuaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova.”
17The Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Sion, and the Lord will discover their hair.
18ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe toʻo ʻe Sihova ʻiate kinautolu ʻae teunga tatangi ʻo honau vaʻe, mo e meʻa fau ʻoe ʻulu, mo ʻenau teunga ʻo hangē ko e māhina,
18In that day the Lord will take away the ornaments of shoes, and little moons,
19ʻAe kahoa, pea mo e ngaahi vesa, pea mo e ngaahi pūlou,
19And chains and necklaces, and bracelets, and bonnets,
20ʻAe ngaahi tatā, pea mo e teunga ʻo honau vaʻe, mo e ngaahi fua mo e ʻaiʻanga kakala, pea mo e ngaahi hau ki honau telinga,
20And bodkins, and ornaments of the legs, and tablets, and sweet balls, and earrings,
21ʻAe ngaahi mama, mo e teunga ʻoe ihu,
21And rings, and jewels hanging on the forehead,
22Mo e tuului ʻo honau kofu, pea mo e kofutuʻa, pea mo e ngaahi pulupulu, pea mo e ngaahi kato paʻanga,
22And changes of apparel, and short cloaks, and fine linen, and crisping pins,
23ʻAe ngaahi sioʻata, pea mo e kofu lineni, pea mo e ngaahi kofu ʻoe ʻulu, pea mo e ngaahi pūlou.
23And looking-glasses, and lawns, and headbands, and fine veils.
24Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻe fetongi ʻaki ʻae namu kakala ʻae namukū; pea ʻe fetongi ʻaki ʻae noʻo lelei ʻae noʻo mahae; pea ʻe liliu ʻae ʻulu lau lelei ko e tula; pea ʻe fetongi ʻae kofu fatafata ʻaki ʻae kofu ʻoe tauangaʻa; pea ʻe fetongi ʻaki ʻae hoihoifua ʻae fohia ʻi he laʻā.
24And instead of a sweet smell there shall be stench, and instead of a girdle, a cord, and instead of curled hair, baldness, and instead of a stomacher, haircloth.
25ʻE tō ho kau tangata ʻi he heletā, mo hoʻo kau mālohi ʻi he tau.
25Thy fairest men also shall fall by the sword, and thy valiant ones in battle.
26Pea ʻe mamahi mo tangi hono ngaahi matapā; pea ʻi heʻene lala te ne nofo ʻi he kelekele.
26And her gates shall lament and mourn, and she shall sit desolate on the ground.
