King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ifi ʻae meʻalea ʻi Saione, pea fanongonongo ʻae ilifia ʻi hoku moʻunga tapu: ke tetetete ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, koeʻuhi ʻoku hoko ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sihova, he ʻoku ofi ia;
1Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2Ko e ʻaho ʻoe fakapoʻuli, pea mo e fakapoʻupoʻuli, ko e ʻaho ʻaoʻaofia, pea mo e poʻuli matolu: hangē ko e pongipongi kuo mafola ʻi he funga moʻunga, ʻoku hau pehē ʻae kakai lahi mo mālohi; naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻi muʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai toe hangē ko ia ʻamui, ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi taʻu ʻoe ngaahi toʻutangata lahi.
2A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3ʻOku kai ʻe he afi ʻi honau ʻao; pea ʻoku vela ʻae ulo afi ʻi honau tuʻa: ko e fonua ʻoku hangē ko e ngoue ko Iteni ʻi honau ʻao, pea ki mui ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku hangē ko e toafa kuo lala; ʻio, pea ʻe ʻikai hao ha meʻa meiate kinautolu.
3A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4ʻOku nau hā mai hangē ko e hā mai ʻae fanga hoosi; pea hangē ko e kau tangata heka hoosi, ʻe pehē ʻenau lele.
4The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5Hangē ko e ʻaulolongo ʻoe ngaahi saliote ʻi he funga moʻunga, ʻe pehē ʻenau hopohopo, ʻo hangē ko e mumuhu ʻoe ulo afi ʻi heʻene kai ʻae mohuku mōmoa, ʻo hangē ko e kakai mālohi kuo fakataha ki he tau.
5Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6ʻE mamahi lahi ʻae kakai ʻi honau ʻao: ʻe peko ʻae mata kotoa pē.
6Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
7Te nau lele hangē ko e kau tangata mālohi; te nau kaka ʻi he ʻā, hangē ko e kau tangata tau; pea te nau laka taki taha ʻi hono hala, ka ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne veuki ʻae fakaʻotu:
7They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau feteketekeʻi ʻae taha ki he taha; ka te nau taki taha ʻalu ʻi hono hala: pea ka nau ka tō ki he heletā, ʻe ʻikai te nau lavea.
8Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9Te nau lele fano pe ʻi he kolo; te nau lele ʻi he fukahi ʻā, te nau kaka ki he tuʻa fale; te nau hū ʻi he ngaahi matapā sioʻata, hangē ko e kaihaʻa.
9They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10ʻE tetetete ʻae fonua ʻi honau ʻao; pea ʻe ngalulululu ʻae langi: ʻe poʻuli ʻae laʻā mo e māhina, pea ʻe taʻofi ʻenau ulo ʻe he ngaahi fetuʻu:
10The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11Pea ʻe fakaongo hono leʻo ʻe Sihova ki heʻene kautau: he ʻoku lahi ʻae fakataha ʻo ʻene kautau: pea ʻoku mālohi ia ʻoku fai ki heʻene folofola: koeʻuhi ko e ʻaho ʻo Sihova ʻoku lahi mo fakamanavahē; pea ko hai te ne faʻa tuʻu ai?
11And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
12ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Pea ko eni foki, mou tafoki kiate au ʻaki homou loto kotoa, pea ʻi he ʻaukai, pea ʻi he tangi, mo e tangilāulau:”
12¶ Therefore also now, saith the LORD , turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13Pea mou haehae homou loto, kae ʻikai ko homou kofu pe, pea tafoki kia Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua: he ʻoku ne angalelei mo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo tuotuai ki he houhau, pea ʻoku ne angaʻofa lahi, pea ʻoku ne fakatomala ʻi he kovi.
13And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
14ʻE ʻilo ʻe hai? Pe te ne tafoki mo fakatomala, pea tuku mai ki mui ha tāpuaki ʻiate ia; ʻio, ha feilaulau meʻakai, pea mo e feilaulau meʻainu kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua?
14Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
15Ifi ʻae meʻalea ʻi Saione, tuʻutuʻuni ha ʻaukai, ui ʻae fakataha mamafa:
15¶ Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16Tānaki ʻae kakai, fakatapui ʻae fakataha, fakakātoa mai ʻae kau mātuʻa, tānaki ʻae fānau, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku kei huhu: ke ʻalu ʻae tangata taʻane mei hono fale teuteu, pea mo e taʻahine mei hono loki.
16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
17Tuku ke tangi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, ʻae kau faifekau ʻa Sihova, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe fale hala mo e feilaulauʻanga, pea ke nau lea pehē, “ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui hoʻo kakai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke tuku ho tofiʻa ki he manuki, ke puleʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he hiteni: koeʻumaʻā ʻenau pehē ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoʻo kakai, ‘ʻOku ʻi fē honau ʻOtua?’”
17Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD , weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD , and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
18Pea ʻe toki fuaʻa ʻa Sihova ki hono fonua, pea ʻofa mamahi ki hono kakai.
18¶ Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
19ʻIo, ko Sihova te ne tali, pea pehē ki hono kakai, “Vakai, te u ʻatu kiate kimoutolu ʻae koane, mo e uaine, mo e lolo, pea te mou mākona ai: pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe tuku ʻakimoutolu ke manukiʻi ʻe he hiteni:
19Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20Ka te u ʻave ke mamaʻo ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae tau mei he tokelau, pea te u kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ha fonua kākā mo lala, ʻoku hanga hono mata ki he tahi hahake, pea mo hono tuʻa ki he tahi mamaʻo atu ʻaupito, pea ʻe ʻalu hake hono namukū, pea ʻe ʻalu hake hono ʻeho ʻo ia,” Koeʻuhi kuo ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi.
20But I will remove far off from you the northern army , and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
21“ʻE fonua, ʻoua naʻa manavahē; fiefia pea nekeneka: koeʻuhi ʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa lahi.
21¶ Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
22ʻOua naʻa manavahē, ʻe fanga manu ʻoe vao! He ʻoku tupu ʻae mohuku ʻi he toafa, pea ʻoku fua ʻae ʻakau, ko e ʻakau ko e fiki mo e vaine, ʻoku tuku mai hona mālohi.
22Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23“Pea mou fiemālie, ʻe fānau ʻa Saione, pea fiefia ʻia Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua: koeʻuhi kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu fakalelelelei ʻae ʻuha muʻa, pea te ne tuku ke tō kiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻuha, ko e ʻuha muʻa, mo e ʻuha mui, ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina.
23Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month .
24Pea ʻe fonu ʻi he uite ʻae ngaahi hahaʻanga, pea ʻe pito mahuohua ʻae ngaahi tataʻoʻanga ʻi he uaine mo e lolo.
24And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25Pea te u toe ʻomi kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi taʻu ne kai ʻe he heʻe mo e ʻunufe maumau, mo e ʻunufe, mo e ʻunufe fulufulu, ko ʻeku kau tau lahi naʻaku fekau kiate kimoutolu.
25And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26Pea te mou kai ʻi he mahu, pea te mou mākona ai, pea fakamālō ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo ne fai fakaofo kiate kimoutolu: pea ʻe ʻikai toe mā ʻa hoku kakai ʻo lauikuonga.
26And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27Pea te mou ʻilo ʻoku ou ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ko Sihova au ko homou ʻOtua, kae ʻikai ha taha kehe: pea ʻe ʻikai toe mā ʻa hoku kakai ʻo lauikuonga.
27And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28“Pea ʻe hoko ʻamui, te u huaʻi hoku Laumālie ki he kakai kotoa pē; pea ʻe kikite homou ngaahi foha mo homou ngaahi ʻofefine, pea ʻe misi ʻe hoʻo kau mātuʻa ʻae ngaahi misi, pea ʻe mamata ʻae ngaahi meʻa hā mai ʻe hoʻo kau talavou:
28¶ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29Pea ki he kau tamaioʻeiki mo e kau kaunanga, te u huaʻi foki hoku Laumālie ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
29And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30Pea te u fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi he langi, pea ʻi māmani, ko e toto, mo e afi, mo e ʻahu ʻoe afi.
30And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31Pea ʻe liliu ʻae laʻā ʻo poʻuli, mo e māhina ke toto ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae ʻaho lahi, pea fakamanavahē ʻo Sihova.
31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
32Pea ʻe pehē, ko ia ʻe ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻe fakamoʻui ia: koeʻuhi ʻe ai ʻae fakamoʻui ʻi he moʻunga ko Saione, pea ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova, pea ʻi he toenga ʻe uiuiʻi ʻe Sihova.”
32And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
