1Ko e kikite, mo e folofola ʻa Sihova ki he fonua ko Hetaleke, mo Tamasikusi, ʻaia ʻe hoko ia ki ai: he ʻoku ʻafio ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova ki he tangata, pea mo e faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
1This is the burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach and Damascus its resting place— for the eyes of men and of all the tribes of Israel are upon the LORD —
2Pea ʻe kau ai mo Hamati; ʻa Tala, mo Saitone foki, neongo ʻena poto lahi.
2and also against Hamath, which borders it, as well as Tyre and Sidon, though they are very shrewd.
3Pea kuo langa ʻe Taia hono kolo mālohi, pea kuo ne tānaki ʻae siliva, ʻo hangē ko e efu, pea mo e koula lelei, ʻo hangē ko e pelepela ʻoe ngaahi hala.
3Tyre has built herself a fortress; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets.
4Vakai, ʻe lī ia kituʻa ʻe Sihova, pea te ne taaʻi ʻa hono mālohi ʻi tahi; pea ʻe fakaʻauha ia ʻe he afi.
4Behold, the Lord will impoverish her and cast her wealth into the sea, and she will be consumed by fire.
5ʻE mamata ʻa ʻAsikeloni ki ai, pea te ne manavahē; ʻe sio foki ki ai ʻa Kesa, pea te ne mamahi ʻaupito, ʻa ia, pea mo Ekiloni; koeʻuhi ʻe fakamaaʻi ʻa ʻene ʻamanaki; pea ʻe ʻauha ʻae tuʻi mei Kesa, pea ʻe ʻikai kakai ʻa ʻAsikeloni.
5Ashkelon will see and fear; Gaza will writhe in agony, as will Ekron, for her hope will wither. There will cease to be a king in Gaza, and Ashkelon will be uninhabited.
6Pea ʻe nofo ʻae hako ʻoe muli ʻi ʻAsitoti, pea te u motuhi ʻae fielahiʻanga ʻoe kau Filisitia.
6A mixed race will occupy Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
7Pea te u taʻofi ʻae toto mei hono ngutu, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia mei hono vahaʻa nifo: ka ko ia ʻe toe ʻi ai, ʻio, ʻaia pe, te ne kau ki hotau ʻOtua, pea te ne hangē ko e pule ʻi Siuta, pea ʻe tatau ʻa Ekiloni mo e tangata Sepusi.
7I will remove the blood from their mouths and the abominations from between their teeth. Then they too will become a remnant for our God; they will become like a clan in Judah, and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
8Pea te u nofo takatakai ʻi hoku fale, koeʻuhi ko e kau tau, mo ia ʻoku ʻalu atu ai, pea koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku foki mai: pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻalu atu ai ha taha fakamālohi ʻo taʻengata: he ko eni, kuo u mamata ʻaki ʻa hoku mata ʻoʻoku.
8But I will camp around My house because of an army, because of those who march to and fro, and never again will an oppressor overrun My people, for now I keep watch with My own eyes.
9Ke ke fiefia lahi ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Saione; Kalanga ʻe ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema: vakai, ʻoku haʻu ho tuʻi kiate koe, ʻoku angalelei ia, pea ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae fakamoʻui; ʻoku ne angavaivai, pea ʻoku heka ki he ʻasi, mo e ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi.
9Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10Pea te u motuhi ʻae saliote mei ʻIfalemi, mo e hoosi mei Selūsalema, pea ʻe motuhi mo e kaufana ki he tau; pea te ne lea ʻaki ʻae melino ki he hiteni; pea ko hono puleʻanga ʻe mei he tahi ki he tahi, pea mei he vaitafe ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.
10And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be broken. Then He will proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion will extend from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
11Pea ko koe foki, koeʻuhi ko e toto ʻo hoʻo fuakava, kuo u tukuange ai hoʻo kau pōpula, mei he luo ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha vai.
11As for you, because of the blood of My covenant, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.
12Mou foki mai ki he hūfanga mālohi, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku pōpula ka e ʻamanaki lelei: ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou fakahā he ʻaho ni, te u totongi ke liunga ua kiate koe:
12Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; even today I declare that I will restore to you double.
13ʻO kau ka teke ʻa Siuta maʻaku, mo ʻai ʻa ʻIfalemi ki he kaufana, pea u hakeakiʻi ho ngaahi foha, ʻe Saione, ke tuʻu, ʻe Kalisi, ki ho ngaahi foha ʻoʻou pea u ngaohi koe ke ke hangē ko e heletā ʻa ha tangata mālohi.
13For I will bend Judah as My bow and fit it with Ephraim. I will rouse your sons, O Zion, against the sons of Greece. I will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
14Pea ʻe hā mai ʻoku ʻafio ʻa Sihova ʻiate kinautolu, pea ʻe puna ʻene ngahau ʻo hangē ko e ʻuhila; pea ʻe ifi ʻae meʻalea ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua, pea te ne hāʻele ʻi he ʻahiohio mei he feituʻu tonga.
14Then the LORD will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will sound the ram’s horn and advance in the whirlwinds of the south.
15ʻE maluʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; pea te nau fakaʻauha mo ikuna ʻaki ʻae maka ʻi he makatā; pea te nau inu, pea te nau longoaʻa ʻo hangē ko ha konā ʻi he uaine; pea te nau fonu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi kumete, ʻi he ngaahi tuliki ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.
15The LORD of Hosts will shield them. They will destroy and conquer with slingstones; they will drink and roar as with wine. And they will be filled like sprinkling bowls, drenched like the corners of the altar.
16Pea ʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻo hangē ko ha fanga sipi, ʻa hono kakai: pea te nau hangē ko ha ngaahi maka mahuʻinga ʻi he tatā fakatuʻi, ʻoku hiki hake ko e fuka ʻi hono fonua.
16On that day the LORD their God will save them as the flock of His people; for like jewels in a crown they will sparkle over His land.
17Koeʻuhi, vakai ki hono lahi ʻo ʻene angaʻofa, mo hono lahi ʻo ʻene toulekeleka! ʻE fakafiefia ʻae kau talavou ʻe he koane, pea ko e kau finemui ʻe he uaine foʻou.
17How lovely they will be, and how beautiful! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine, the young women.
