1Mou fanongo mai ki he meʻa ʻoku folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova; “Tuʻu hake, pea ke fai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, pea ke fanongo ʻae ngaahi tafungofunga ki ho leʻo.
1Listen now to what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.
2Fanongo ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ki he fakamaau ʻae ʻEiki, mo kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga mālohi ʻo māmani; he ʻoku ai ʻae fakamaau ʻae ʻEiki mo hono kakai, pea te ne fakamatala mo ʻIsileli.
2Hear, you mountains, the LORD’s indictment, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the LORD has a case against his people, and he will contend with Israel.
3ʻE hoku kakai, Ko e hā kuo u fai kiate koe? Pea kuo u fakafiuʻi ko e ʻi he hā? Fakamatala mai!
3My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me!
4He ne u ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea ne u huhuʻi koe mei he fale ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ne u fekau ʻa Mōsese, mo ʻElone, mo Miliami ke ʻalu ʻi ho ʻao.
4For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
5ʻE hoku kakai, manatu eni ki he meʻa naʻe fakakaukau ki ai ʻe Pelaki, ko e tuʻi ʻo Moape, pea mo ia naʻe tali ʻaki ʻe Pelami ko e foha ʻo Peoli, mei Sitimi, ʻo aʻu ki Kilikali; koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova.”
5My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the LORD.”
6Te u ʻunuʻunu atu mo e ha kia Sihova, mo fakatōmapeʻe au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua Māʻolunga? Te u ʻalu ki hono ʻao mo e ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e fanga ʻuhiki pulu ʻoku taha taʻu?
6How shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
7ʻE fiemālie ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngaahi toko afe ʻoe sipitangata, pe ʻi he ngaahi vaitafe lolo ʻe taha mano? ʻE ʻatu ʻeku ʻuluaki, koeʻuhi ko ʻeku ngaahi hia; ʻae fua ʻo hoku sino, koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻa hoku laumālie?
7Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8Kuo ne fakahā kiate koe, ʻe tangata ʻaia ʻoku lelei; pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻamanaki ʻe Sihova ʻiate koe, ka koeʻuhi ke ke fai totonu mo ke loto ki he ʻofa, mo ke ʻaʻeva mo ho ʻOtua ʻi he angavaivai?
8He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does the LORD require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
9Ko e leʻo ʻo Sihova ʻoku ui ki he kolo, pea ʻe mamata ki ho huafa ʻe he tangata poto: “Fanongo ʻakimoutolu ki he meʻa tā, pea mo ia kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ia.
9The LORD’s voice calls to the city— and wisdom fears your name— “Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.
10ʻOku kei ʻi he fale ʻoe angahala ʻae koloa ʻoe angahala, mo e meʻa fua nounou ʻaia ʻoku fakalielia?
10Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?
11Te u lau ʻakinautolu ko e maʻa ka ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakamamafa kākā, pea mo e kato meʻa fakamamafa kākā?
11Shall I tolerate dishonest scales, and a bag of deceitful weights?
12He ʻoku pito ʻi he fakamālohi ʻae kau tangata koloaʻia ʻi ai, pea kuo lea loi ʻae kakai ʻo ia; pea ʻoku kākā ʻa honau ʻelelo ʻi honau ngutu.
12Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
13Ko ia foki te u fakamamahiʻi koe ʻi ho faʻa taaʻi, ʻi he ngaohi koe ke lala, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi angahala.
13Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.
14Te ke kai, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke mākona, pea ʻe ʻi ho lotolotonga ʻa hoʻo fakahifo ki lalo; pea te ke puke ka ʻe ʻikai te ke fakahaofi; pea ko ia ʻoku ke fakahaofi, te u tukuange ki he heletā.
14You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your hunger will be within you. You will store up, but not save, and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
15Te ke tūtuuʻi ka ʻe ʻikai te ke tuʻusi; te ke malaki ʻae ʻolive, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke takai koe ʻaki ʻae lolo; pea mo e uaine melie, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke inu uaine.
15You will sow, but won’t reap. You will tread the olives, but won’t anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won’t drink the wine.
16He kuo maʻu pe ʻae ngaahi fono ʻa ʻOmili, pea mo e ngaahi ngāue ʻae fale ʻo ʻEhapi, pea ʻoku mou ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakakaukau; koeʻuhi ke u ngaohi kimoutolu ke lala, pea mo e kakai ʻo ia ko e fakaʻiseʻisa: ko ia te mou fua ai ʻae manuki ʻa hoku kakai.”
16For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of Ahab’s house. You walk in their counsels, that I may make you a ruin, and your inhabitants a hissing. You will bear the reproach of my people.”
