ʻIsikieli 3
1And he said to me, “Son of man, eat whatever you find here. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
1NAʻA ne toe pehē mai kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, kai ʻaia ʻoku ke maʻu; kai ʻae takainga tohi ni, pea ʻalu ʻo lea ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli.”
2So I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat.
2Ko ia naʻaku fakamanga hoku ngutu, pea naʻa ne pule ke u kai ʻae takainga tohi na.
3And he said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it.” Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.
3Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, kai ki loto, pea fakafonu ho loto fatu ʻaki ʻae takainga tohi ni kuo u foaki kiate koe. Ko ia naʻaku toki kai ia; pea naʻe melie ia ʻi hoku ngutu ʻo hangē ko e hone.
4And he said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with my words to them.
4Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻalu pea ke hoko atu ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea lea ʻaki kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea.
5For you are not sent to a people of foreign speech and a hard language, but to the house of Israel—
5He ʻoku ʻikai fekau koe ki ha kakai ʻoku leʻo kehe mo lea ʻilongataʻa, ka ko e fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
6not to many peoples of foreign speech and a hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, if I sent you to such, they would listen to you.
6ʻO ʻikai ki ha kakai tokolahi ʻoku lea kehe mo lea ʻilongataʻa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ki heʻenau lea. Ko e moʻoni ka ne u fekau koe kiate kinautolu, pehē kuo nau fanongo kiate koe.
7But the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me: because all the house of Israel have a hard forehead and a stubborn heart.
7Ka ʻoku ʻikai fie fanongo ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli kiate koe: he naʻa mo au ʻoku ʻikai te nau fanongo: he kuo fielahi mo loto fefeka ʻae fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
8Behold, I have made your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.
8Vakai, kuo u fakamālohi ho mata ʻoʻou ki honau mata, pea mālohi mo ho foʻi laʻē ki honau foʻi laʻē.
9Like emery harder than flint have I made your forehead. Fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.”
9Hangē ko e taiamoni ʻoku fefeka lahi ʻi he maka afi, kuo u ngaohi ke pehē ho foʻi laʻē: ʻoua ʻe manavahē kiate kinautolu, pea ʻoua ʻe manavahē ki heʻenau sio, ka ko e fale angatuʻu moʻoni ʻakinautolu.”
10Moreover, he said to me, “Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
10Pea naʻa ne pehē mai foki kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ke ke maʻu ki ho loto ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe, pea fanongo mai ho telinga.
11And go to the exiles, to your people, and speak to them and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD,’whether they hear or refuse to hear.”
11Pea ke ʻalu, ʻalu koe kiate kinautolu ʻoku pōpula, ki he fānau ʻa hoʻo kakai, pea ke lea kiate kinautolu, pea tala ki ai, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; pe te nau fanongo, pe te nau taʻekātakiʻi.”
12Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great earthquake: “Blessed be the glory of the LORD from its place!”
12Hili ia naʻe ʻave au ʻe he laumālie pea naʻaku fanongo ki he leʻo mei hoku tuʻa ʻo hangē ko e ʻuʻulu lahi, naʻe pehē, “Ke monūʻia ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻi hono ʻafioʻanga.”
13It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the sound of the wheels beside them, and the sound of a great earthquake.
13Pea naʻaku fanongo foki ki he kapatā ʻae kapakau ʻoe ngaahi meʻa moʻui, ʻaia naʻe feuutaki, mo e longoaʻa ʻoe ngaahi teka naʻe fehangai mo kinautolu, mo e ʻuʻulu ʻoe mumuhu lahi.
14The Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit, the hand of the LORD being strong upon me.
14Ko ia ne hiki au ʻe he laumālie ʻo ne ʻave au, pea naʻaku ʻalu ʻi he mamahi mo e lili ʻa hoku laumālie, ka naʻe mālohi ʻiate au ʻae nima ʻo Sihova.
15And I came to the exiles at Tel-abib, who were dwelling by the Chebar canal, and I sat where they were dwelling. And I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
15Ko ia naʻaku haʻu ai kiate kinautolu ʻoku pōpula ʻi Telapipi naʻe nofo ki he vaitafe ko Kipa, pea naʻaku nofo ʻi honau nofoʻanga ʻo tatali ofi ai ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.
16And at the end of seven days, the word of the LORD came to me:
16Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he fakaʻosi ʻoe ʻaho ʻe fitu, naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
17“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me.
17“Foha ʻoe tangata, kuo u tuku koe ko e leʻo ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli: ko ia ke ke fanongo ki he lea mei hoku ngutu, pea valokiʻi ʻakinautolu meiate au.
18If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.
18ʻO kau ka pehē ki he angahala, ‘Ko e moʻoni te ke mate;’ ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke valoki, pe lea ke fakatafoki ʻae angahala mei hono hala kovi, kae hao ai ʻene moʻui; ʻe mate moʻoni ʻi heʻene angahala ʻae angahala ko ia; ka ko hono toto te u ʻeke ia kiate koe.
19But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.
19Ka ko eni, kapau te ke valoki ʻae angahala, pea ʻoku ʻikai tafoki ia mei heʻene kovi, mo hono hala kovi, ʻe mate ia ʻi heʻene angahala, ka kuo ke fakaʻataʻatā ho laumālie ʻoʻou.
20Again, if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, and his righteous deeds that he has done shall not be remembered, but his blood I will require at your hand.
20Mo eni, ʻOka liliu ha tangata māʻoniʻoni mei heʻene māʻoniʻoni pea fai angahala, pea u ʻai ha tūkiaʻanga ʻi hono ʻao, ʻe mate ia: ʻe mate ia ʻi heʻene angahala pea ʻe ʻikai manatuʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻaia naʻa ne fai, ka ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo taʻevaloki kiate ia, te u ʻeke mei ho nima ʻa hono toto:
21But if you warn the righteous person not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning, and you will have delivered your soul.”
21Ka koeʻuhi, kapau te ke valoki ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ke ʻoua naʻa fai hala ʻae māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku ʻikai ai te ne fai angahala, ko e moʻoni te ne moʻui, koeʻuhi kuo takitalaʻi; pea kuo ke fakaʻataʻatā foki ho laumālie.”
22And the hand of the LORD was upon me there. And he said to me, “Arise, go out into the valley, and there I will speak with you.”
22Pea naʻe ʻai kiate au ʻae nima ʻo Sihova ʻi ai; ʻo ne pehē kiate au, “Tuʻu, pea ʻalu atu ki he toafa, pea te u lea ai kiate koe.”
23So I arose and went out into the valley, and behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, like the glory that I had seen by the Chebar canal, and I fell on my face.
23Ko ia naʻaku tuʻu hake, mo ʻalu atu ki he toafa: pea vakai naʻe tuʻu ʻi ai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hono nāunau naʻaku mamata ai ʻi he potu vaitafe ʻo Kipa: pea naʻaku tōmapeʻe ki hoku mata.”
24But the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and he spoke with me and said to me, “Go, shut yourself within your house.
24Pea naʻe toki hū ʻae laumālie kiate au ʻo ne fokotuʻu au ki hoku vaʻe, ʻo ne folofola kiate au, ʻo ne pehē kiate au, “ʻAlu, pea tāpuni koe ʻi ho loto fale.
25And you, O son of man, behold, cords will be placed upon you, and you shall be bound with them, so that you cannot go out among the people.
25Ka ko koe, ʻE foha ʻoe tangata, vakai te nau ʻai kiate koe ʻae ngaahi haʻi, ʻonau haʻi ʻaki koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fou atu kituʻa ʻiate kinautolu:
26And I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that you shall be mute and unable to reprove them, for they are a rebellious house.
26Pea te u ngaohi ke hiki ho ʻelelo ki ho ʻoʻaoʻingutu, pea te ke noa, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke hoko ko e valoki kiate kinautolu he ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu.
27But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD.’He who will hear, let him hear; and he who will refuse to hear, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.
27Ka ʻi heʻeku lea kiate koe, te u faʻai ho ngutu, pea te ke tala kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko ia ʻoku fanongo, tuku ke ne fanongo; pea ko ia ʻoku taʻofi, tuku ke ne taʻofi: he ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu.”
