34In the time that you were broken by the seas, in the depths of the waters, your merchandise and all your company fell within you.
34ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe maumauʻi koe ʻe he ngaahi peau ʻi he loloto ʻoe ngaahi vai, ʻe hinga ai mo koe ʻa hoʻo koloa mo hoʻo kakai kotoa pē.’
35All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at you, and their kings are horribly afraid. They are troubled in their face.
35“ʻE ofo ʻiate koe ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi ʻotu motu, pea ʻe manavahē lahi honau kau pule, te nau mata kehe ʻi heʻenau puputuʻu.
36The merchants among the peoples hiss at you. You have come to a terrible end, and you will be no more.”’”
