ʻIsikieli 2
1And he said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
1PEA naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, tuʻu hake ki ho vaʻe pea te u lea kiate koe.”
2And as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me.
2Pea ʻi heʻene folofola mai, naʻe hoko mai ʻae laumālie kiate au, ʻo ne fokotuʻu au ki hoku vaʻe, pea u fanongo kiate ia naʻe lea kiate au.
3And he said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to nations of rebels, who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day.
3Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoku ou fekau atu koe ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he puleʻanga angatuʻu, kuo angatuʻu kiate au: kuo fai angahala kiate au ʻakinautolu mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
4The descendants also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD.’
4He ko e fānau mata fielahi mo loto fefeka ʻakinautolu. Ko au ia ʻoku ou fekau atu koe kiate kinautolu; pea te ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
5And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that a prophet has been among them.
5Pea neongo ʻenau loto ke fanongo, pe ko ʻenau taʻeloto ki ai, (he ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu,) ka te nau ʻilo naʻe ai ha palōfita ʻiate kinautolu.
6And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.
6“Pea ko koe, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē kiate kinautolu pea ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē ki heʻenau lea, neongo hoʻo ʻi he ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻāmoa, pea ke nofo hifo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi sikopio: ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē ki heʻenau lea, pea ʻoua naʻa ke lilika ʻi heʻenau sio: ka ko e moʻoni ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu.
7And you shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house.
7Pea te ke lea ʻaki ʻe koe ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea kiate kinautolu, pe te nau loto ke fanongo ki ai, pe te nau taʻeloto ki ai he ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ʻenau angatuʻu.
8“But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.”
8Ka ko koe, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, fanongo ki he meʻa ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe: ʻoua naʻa ke angatuʻu koe ʻo hangē ko e fale angatuʻu na: fakamanga ho ngutu pea ke kai ʻaia te u foaki kiate koe.”
9And when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
9Pea ʻi heʻeku sio, vakai, naʻe fakahā mai kiate au ʻae nima; pea vakai naʻe ʻi ai ʻae takainga tohi;
10And he spread it before me. And it had writing on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe.
10Pea ne folofolahi ia ʻi hoku ʻao; pea naʻe tohi ia ʻi loto pea ʻituʻa: pea naʻe tohi ʻi ai ʻae tangi, mo e mamahi, pea mo e malaʻia.
