ʻIsikieli 33
1The word of the LORD came to me:
1NAʻE toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
2“Son of man, speak to your people and say to them, If I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and make him their watchman,
2“Foha ʻoe tangata, lea ki he fānau ʻa hoʻo kakai, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, Kapau te u ʻomi ʻae heletā ki ha fonua, pea ʻe vaheʻi ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ha tangata ʻi honau potu fonua, pea tuku ia ko honau tangata leʻo:
3and if he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows the trumpet and warns the people,
3Pea kapau ʻi heʻene sio ʻoku haʻu ʻae heletā ki he fonua, pea ʻoku ne ifi ʻae meʻalea, mo tala ki he kakai;
4then if anyone who hears the sound of the trumpet does not take warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
4Ka pehē, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fanongo ki he hā mai ʻae meʻalea, ka ʻoku ʻikai tuitala; kapau ʻe hoko mai ʻae heletā, pea teʻia ʻaki ia, ʻe ʻi hono tumuʻaki pe ʻoʻona ʻa hono toto.
5He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But if he had taken warning, he would have saved his life.
5He naʻa ne fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe meʻalea ka naʻe ʻikai valokia ai ia: ʻe ʻiate ia pe ʻa hono toto. Ka ko ia ʻoku tuitala ʻe fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻa hono laumālie.
6But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.
6Pea kapau ʻe sio ʻae tangata leʻo ʻoku haʻu ʻae heletā, ka ʻoku ʻikai ifi ʻe ia ʻae meʻalea, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tala ki he kakai: kapau ʻe hoko mai ʻae heletā ʻo teʻia ʻaki ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, ʻe ʻave moʻoni ia ʻi heʻene hia, ka ko hono toto te u ʻeke ki ai ki he nima ʻoe tangata leʻo.
7“So you, son of man, I have made a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me.
7Pea ʻoku pehē, ʻE foha ʻoe tangata, kuo u tuku koe ko e leʻo ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli; ko ia te ke fanongo ki he folofola mei hoku fofonga, pea ke valokiʻi ʻakinautolu meiate au.
8If I say to the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked person shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.
8ʻO kau ka pehē ki he angahala, ʻE angahala ko e moʻoni te ke mate koe; kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke lea koe ke valokiʻi ʻae angahala mei hono hala, ʻe mate ʻae angahala ko ia ʻi heʻene hia, ka te u ʻekeʻi hono toto mei ho nima ʻoʻou.
9But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, that person shall die in his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.
9Ka ko eni, kapau te ke valoki ʻae angahala ke liliu mei hono hala; pea kapau ʻe ʻikai tafoki ia mei hono hala ʻe mate moʻoni ia ʻi heʻene hia; ka kuo ke fakatonuhiaʻi ʻe koe ʻa ho laumālie.
10“And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, Thus have you said: ‘Surely our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we rot away because of them. How then can we live?’
10“Ko ia, ʻE foha ʻoe tangata, ke ke lea ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻoku mou lea, ʻo pehē, ‘Kapau ʻoku ʻiate kimautolu pē ʻemau fai kovi mo ʻemau angahala, pea ʻoku mau fakaʻaʻau ai ki mui, pea tā koeʻumaʻā ʻemau moʻui?’
11Say to them, As I live, declares the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die, O house of Israel?
11Lea kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, ʻoku ʻikai te u fiemālie ʻi he mate ʻae angahala; ka ʻi he tafoki ʻae angahala mei hono hala ke ne moʻui: tafoki mai, tafoki mai mei homou hala kovi: he ko e hā te mou fie mate ai, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli?
12“And you, son of man, say to your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him when he transgresses, and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it when he turns from his wickedness, and the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness when he sins.
12Ko ia, ʻa koe foha ʻoe tangata, ke ke pehē ki he fānau ʻa hoʻo kakai, ʻE ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻaki ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻa ʻene māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻene fai hala: pea koeʻuhi ko e fai hala ʻae angahala, ʻe ʻikai te ne hinga ai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻoku ne tafoki mei heʻene angahala; pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa moʻui ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku ne angahala ai.
13Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet if he trusts in his righteousness and does injustice, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his injustice that he has done he shall die.
13ʻO kau ka pehē ʻeau ki he māʻoniʻoni, ko e moʻoni te ne moʻui; ka ʻoku ne falala pe ia ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni ʻaʻana, mo ne fai hala, ko ʻene māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē ʻe ʻikai manatuʻi; ka ʻe mate pe ia, ʻi heʻene kovi ʻaia kuo ne fai.
14Again, though I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’yet if he turns from his sin and does what is just and right,
14Mo eni foki, ʻo kau ka pehē ʻeau ki he angahala, ko e moʻoni te ke mate koe; pea kapau te ne tafoki mei heʻene angahala, pea fai ʻe ia ʻaia ʻoku totonu mo lelei;
15if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
15Ka toe ʻatu ʻe he angahala ʻae meʻa naʻe tuku ko e fakamoʻoni, mo ne toe ʻatu ʻaia naʻa ne kaihaʻasi, mo ne ʻeveʻeva ʻi he fekau ʻoe fakamoʻui, ʻo ʻikai ke toe fai hala; ko e moʻoni ʻe moʻui pe ia, ʻe ʻikai siʻi te ne mate.
16None of the sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he shall surely live.
16ʻE ʻikai toe lau kiate ia ha taha ʻi he ngaahi angahala ʻaia kuo ne fai: kuo ne fai ʻaia ʻoku totonu mo lelei: ko e moʻoni te ne moʻui.
17“Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just,’when it is their own way that is not just.
17“Ka ʻoku pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa hoʻo kakai, ʻOku ʻikai fai tatau ʻae ʻulungāanga ʻa Sihova: ka ko kinautolu ia ʻoku fai kehekehe ʻenau anga.
18When the righteous turns from his righteousness and does injustice, he shall die for it.
18ʻOka tafoki ʻaia ʻoku māʻoniʻoni mei heʻene māʻoniʻoni, mo ne fai hala, ʻe mate moʻoni ai ia.
19And when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he shall live by this.
19Ka ko e angahala ʻoka tafoki mai ia mei heʻene angahala, mo ne fai ʻe ia ʻaia ʻoku totonu mo lelei, ʻe moʻui ai ia.
20Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’O house of Israel, I will judge each of you according to his ways.”
20Ka ʻoku mou pehē, ʻOku ʻikai fai tatau ʻae ʻulungāanga ʻa Sihova. ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, te u fakamaau ʻakimoutolu ʻo fakatatau ki homou hala taki taha.”
21In the twelfth year of our exile, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, a fugitive from Jerusalem came to me and said, “The city has been struck down.”
21Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono hongofulu ma ua taʻu ʻo ʻemau pōpula, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, pea mo hono nima ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he māhina, naʻe haʻu kiate au, ha tokotaha naʻe hao mai mei Selūsalema, mo ne pehē mai, Kuo kapa ʻae kolo.
22Now the hand of the LORD had been upon me the evening before the fugitive came; and he had opened my mouth by the time the man came to me in the morning, so my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
22Ka ko eni, ʻi he teʻeki ai ke haʻu ʻaia naʻe hola mai naʻe ʻiate au ʻae nima ʻo Sihova, ʻi he efiafi poʻuli; pea naʻe matoʻo ʻa hoku ngutu, ʻo aʻu ki heʻene hoko mai ʻi he pongipongi; naʻe matoʻo ʻa hoku ngutu, naʻe ʻikai te u kei noa.
23The word of the LORD came to me:
23Pea naʻe toki ʻomi ia ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
24“Son of man, the inhabitants of these waste places in the land of Israel keep saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, yet he got possession of the land; but we are many; the land is surely given us to possess.’
24“Foha ʻoe tangata, ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ki he ngaahi potu liʻaki ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku lea ʻo pehē, ‘Naʻe tokotaha pe ʻa ʻEpalahame, pea ne maʻu ʻe ia ʻae fonua: ka ʻoku mau tokolahi; kuo foaki mai ʻae fonua ko homau tofiʻa.’
25Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: You eat flesh with the blood and lift up your eyes to your idols and shed blood; shall you then possess the land?
25Ko ia ke ke lea kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻOku mou kai mo e toto, mo hanga hake homou mata ki homou ngaahi tamapua, mo lilingi toto: pea ʻe ʻomoutolu koā ʻae fonua?
26You rely on the sword, you commit abominations, and each of you defiles his neighbor’s wife; shall you then possess the land?
26ʻOku mou tuʻu mo hoʻomou heletā, ʻoku mou fai meʻa fakalielia, pea ʻoku mou tonoʻi kotoa pē ʻae ʻunoho ʻo hono kaungāʻapi: pea ʻe ʻomoutolu koā ʻae fonua?
27Say this to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and whoever is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in strongholds and in caves shall die by pestilence.
27Ke ke lea ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko au eni, ʻoku ou moʻui, pea ko e moʻoni ʻe tō hifo ʻi he heletā, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi potu lala, pea mo ia ʻoku ʻi he ʻataʻatā ʻoe ngoueʻanga, te u foaki ia ko e meʻakai ki he fanga manu, pea ko kinautolu ʻe ʻi he kolo tau, pe ʻi he ngaahi ʻanaʻi maka te nau mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha.
28And I will make the land a desolation and a waste, and her proud might shall come to an end, and the mountains of Israel shall be so desolate that none will pass through.
28He te u fakatōkilalo ʻae fonua ke lala ʻaupito, pea ʻe ngata ʻae fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo hono mālohi; ʻe ngaongao ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe ʻalu atu ai.
29Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolation and a waste because of all their abominations that they have committed.
29Pea te nau toki ʻilo ko Sihova au, ʻo kau ka fakatōkilalo ʻae fonua ke lala ʻaupito, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ʻaia kuo nau fai.”
30“As for you, son of man, your people who talk together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, say to one another, each to his brother, ‘Come, and hear what the word is that comes from the LORD.’
30“Ko eni foki, ʻa koe foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoku kei felauʻikoviʻaki koe ʻe he fānau ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻi he veʻe ʻā, pea ʻi he matapā kotoa pē ʻoe fale, mo nau fealēleaʻaki mo taki taha pehē ki hono kāinga, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ou kole ke mou haʻu ke tau fanongo ki ha folofola ʻoku ʻomi meia Sihova.
31And they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear what you say but they will not do it; for with lustful talk in their mouths they act; their heart is set on their gain.
31Pea ʻoku nau haʻu kiate koe ʻo hangē ko e haʻu ʻae kakai, pea ʻoku nau nofo ʻi ho ʻao ʻo hangē ko hoku kakai, pea ʻoku nau fanongo ki hoʻo ngaahi lea, ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie fai ki ai: he ʻoku nau fakahā ʻaki honau ngutu ʻae ʻofa lahi, ka ʻoku muimui honau loto ki heʻenau manumanu.
32And behold, you are to them like one who sings lustful songs with a beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument, for they hear what you say, but they will not do it.
32Pea vakai, ʻoku ke tatau kiate kinautolu mo e fasi mālie lahi ʻa ha taha ʻoku leʻo mālie, mo faʻa tā ke mālie ʻae meʻa tatangi: he ʻoku nau fanongo ki hoʻo ngaahi lea, ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau fai ki ai.
33When this comes—and come it will!—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
33Pea ka hoko mai ʻae meʻa ko eni, (vakai, ʻe hoko pe ia,) te nau toki ʻilo, tā naʻe ai ha palōfita ʻiate kinautolu.”
