ʻIsikieli 22
1And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
1NAʻE hoko foki kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
2“And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Then declare to her all her abominations.
2“Ko eni, ʻa koe foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe ʻikai koā te ke fakamaau ʻae kolo pani toto? ʻIo, te ke fakahā kiate ia ʻa ʻene ngaahi fakalielia.
3You shall say, Thus says the Lord GOD: A city that sheds blood in her midst, so that her time may come, and that makes idols to defile herself!
3Pea ke toki pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku lilingi toto ʻe he kolo ʻi hono lotolotonga ʻo ia, koeʻuhi kae hoko hono ʻaho, ʻo ne ngaohi maʻana ʻae ngaahi tamapua, ka ne fakalielia ʻaki ia.
4You have become guilty by the blood that you have shed, and defiled by the idols that you have made, and you have brought your days near, the appointed time of your years has come. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mockery to all the countries.
4Kuo ke halaia koe ʻi he toto kuo ke lilingi; pea kuo ke fakalieliaʻi koe ʻe koe ʻi he ngaahi tamapua ʻaia kuo ke ngaohi; pea kuo ke fakaofi ʻe koe ho ngaahi ʻaho, pea kuo hokosia ni ho ngaahi taʻu: ko ia ia kuo u ngaohi koe ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe hiteni, mo e lumaʻanga ki he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē.
5Those who are near and those who are far from you will mock you; your name is defiled; you are full of tumult.
5ʻE manuki kiate koe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ofi, mo ia ʻoku mamaʻo, ʻa koe kuo fakalielia ho hingoa, pea kuo fakamamahiʻi ʻaupito.
6“Behold, the princes of Israel in you, every one according to his power, have been bent on shedding blood.
6Vakai, naʻe mālohi ke lilingi toto ʻa ho ngaahi houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻiate koe.
7Father and mother are treated with contempt in you; the sojourner suffers extortion in your midst; the fatherless and the widow are wronged in you.
7Kuo nau liʻaki ʻiate koe ʻae tamai mo e faʻē: kuo nau fai fakamālohi ki he muli ʻiate koe: pea ʻiate koe kuo nau fakamamahiʻi ʻae tamai mate mo e kau fefine naʻe mate ʻa honau ʻunoho.
8You have despised my holy things and profaned my Sabbaths.
8Kuo ke manuki ʻa ʻeku ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni, pea kuo ke fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu.
9There are men in you who slander to shed blood, and people in you who eat on the mountains; they commit lewdness in your midst.
9ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae kau tangata ʻoku feʻaveʻaki lea ki he lilingi ʻoe toto: pea ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻakinautolu ʻoku kai ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga: ʻoku fai ʻae fakalielia ʻiate koe.
10In you men uncover their fathers’ nakedness; in you they violate women who are unclean in their menstrual impurity.
10Kuo nau sio ʻiate koe ki he mā ʻo ʻenau tamai: kuo nau fakatōkilalo ia, ʻaia naʻe fakatapui ʻi hono mahaki.
11One commits abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; another in you violates his sister, his father’s daughter.
11Pea kuo taki taha tonoʻi ʻae ʻunoho ʻo hono kaungāʻapi, pea kuo taki taha fai kovi mo hono ʻofefine ʻi he fono, pea kuo taki taha fai kovi mo hono tuofefine, ʻae ʻofefine ʻo ʻene tamai.
12In you they take bribes to shed blood; you take interest and profit and make gain of your neighbors by extortion; but me you have forgotten, declares the Lord GOD.
12Kuo nau ʻatu meʻa ʻiate koe ke lilingi ai ʻae toto; kuo ke maʻu ʻae totongi mo e tupu ʻoe koloa taʻetotonu, pea kuo ke fakatoʻotoʻo ʻae tupu ʻo hoʻo koloa ʻi he fai fakamālohi ki ho kaungāʻapi, pea kuo ke fakangalongaloʻi au,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
13“Behold, I strike my hand at the dishonest gain that you have made, and at the blood that has been in your midst.
13“Vakai, ko ia ia kuo u pasi tātaha ai hoku nima, ko e meʻa ʻi he koloa taʻetotonu kuo ke maʻu, pea mo e toto kuo lilingi ʻi loto ʻiate koe.
14Can your courage endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I the LORD have spoken, and I will do it.
14ʻE faʻa kātaki koā ho loto, pe mālohi ho nima ʻi he ʻaho te ta fai ai mo koe? Ko au ko Sihova kuo u lea ʻaki ia, pea te u fai ki ai.
15I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you through the countries, and I will consume your uncleanness out of you.
15Pea te u fakahēʻi koe ki he ngaahi hiteni mo fakamovetevete koe ki he ngaahi fonua, pea te u fakaʻosiʻosi mei ho lotolotonga ʻa hoʻo fakalielia.
16And you shall be profaned by your own doing in the sight of the nations, and you shall know that I am the LORD.”
16Pea ʻe fakalieliaʻi koe ʻe koe pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, pea te ke ʻilo au, ko au ko Sihova.”
17And the word of the LORD came to me:
17Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
18“Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me; all of them are bronze and tin and iron and lead in the furnace; they are dross of silver.
18“Foha ʻoe tangata, kuo hoko ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli kiate au ko e ʻefinanga meʻa: kuo tatau kotoa pē ʻakinautolu mo e palasa, mo e tini, mo e ukamea, mo e pulu ʻi he loto tutuʻanga meʻa; pea kuo nau tatau pe mo e toenga ʻuli ʻoe siliva.
19Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
19Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou hoko ko e ʻefinanga meʻa, vakai, ko ia ia te u tānaki ʻakimoutolu ki he lotolotonga ʻo Selūsalema.
20As one gathers silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin into a furnace, to blow the fire on it in order to melt it, so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will put you in and melt you.
20ʻO hangē ʻoku tānaki ki he lotolotonga ʻoe tutuʻanga meʻa ʻae siliva, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea mo e pulu, pea mo e tini, kae tafu ʻae afi ki ai, ko hono haka ke vai; ʻe pehē mo ʻeku tānaki koe ʻi hoku houhau mo ʻeku tuputāmaki, pea te u tuku koe ʻi ai, pea te ke hoko ko e vai.
21I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst of it.
21ʻIo, te u tānaki ʻakimoutolu, pea te u ifi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he afi ʻo hoku houhau, pea ʻe fakavai ʻakimoutolu ʻi hono lotolotonga ʻo ia.
22As silver is melted in a furnace, so you shall be melted in the midst of it, and you shall know that I am the LORD; I have poured out my wrath upon you.”
22ʻO hangē ʻoku fakavai ʻae siliva ʻi he loto tutuʻanga meʻa, ʻe pehē mo e fakavai ʻa koe ʻi hono lotolotonga; pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova kuo u lilingi hoku houhau kiate kimoutolu.”
23And the word of the LORD came to me:
23Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
24“Son of man, say to her, You are a land that is not cleansed or rained upon in the day of indignation.
24“Foha ʻoe tangata, ke ke pehē kiate ia, Ko e fonua koe, ʻoku ʻikai ke fakamaʻa, pe ʻuheina, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe houhau.
25The conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured human lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst.
25Kuo kau taha ʻae kau kikite ʻiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e laione ngungulu, ke haehae ʻene meʻakai, kuo nau faʻapuku hake ʻae ngaahi laumālie: kuo nau ʻave ʻae koloa mo e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga; kuo nau fakamasiva ʻunoho ʻae fefine tokolahi ʻi ai.
26Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and they have disregarded my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
26Kuo maumauʻi ʻeku fono ʻe heʻene kautaulaʻeiki, pea kuo nau fakalieliaʻi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni: naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻai ke ʻilonga ʻae māʻoniʻoni mo e fakalielia, pea naʻe ʻikai foki te nau ʻai ke ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku taʻemaʻa mo ia ʻoku maʻa, pea kuo tafoki honau mata mei hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea kuo fakalieliaʻi au ʻiate kinautolu.
27Her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, shedding blood, destroying lives to get dishonest gain.
27ʻOku hangē ʻae houʻeiki ʻiate ia, ko e fanga ulofi ʻoku haehae ʻenau meʻakai, ke lilingi toto, mo maumau laumālie, pea ke maʻu koloa taʻetotonu.
28And her prophets have smeared whitewash for them, seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD,’when the LORD has not spoken.
28Pea kuo laku ʻae lahe taʻepipiki ʻe heʻene kau kikite kiate kinautolu, kuo nau sio ki he vaʻinga mo kikite ʻaki ʻae loi kiate kinautolu, ʻonau pehē, ʻOku pehē, ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ka naʻe ʻikai folofola ʻa Sihova.
29The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy, and have extorted from the sojourner without justice.
29Kuo fai ʻae fakamālohi ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻonau fai ʻae kaihaʻa, mo e fakamamahi ʻae masiva mo e paea: ʻio, kuo nau fakamālohi taʻetotonu ki he kau muli.
30And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.
30Pea naʻaku kumi ki ha tangata ʻiate kinautolu ke ne fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻae ʻa mo tuʻu ʻi he ava ʻi hoku ʻao koeʻuhi ko e fonua, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku fakaʻauha ia; ka naʻe ʻikai ʻiloa ha taha.
31Therefore I have poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have returned their way upon their heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
31Ko ia kuo u lilingi atu ai ʻa hoku houhau kiate kinautolu; kuo u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he afi ʻo hoku tuputāmaki:” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “Kuo u totongi ki honau tumuʻaki pe ʻonautolu ʻa ʻenau faianga.”
