ʻIsikieli 36
1“And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.
1“KIKITE foki, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ke pehē, ʻE ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova:
2Thus says the Lord GOD: Because the enemy said of you, ‘Aha!’and, ‘The ancient heights have become our possession,’
2ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; koeʻuhi kuo pehē ʻe he fili kiate koe, ‘ʻEhē, ʻehē, naʻa mo e ngaahi potu māʻolunga talu mei muʻa kuo ʻamautolu ia:’
3therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Precisely because they made you desolate and crushed you from all sides, so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations, and you became the talk and evil gossip of the people,
3Ko ia ke ke kikite, mo ke pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Koeʻuhi kuo nau fakalala koe, mo nau fōngia hifo koe mei he potu kotoa pē, kae maʻu ʻakimoutolu ʻe he toenga hiteni, pea ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ngutu faʻa lau, pea manukiʻi ʻe he kakai;
4therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD: Thus says the Lord GOD to the mountains and the hills, the ravines and the valleys, the desolate wastes and the deserted cities, which have become a prey and derision to the rest of the nations all around,
4Ko ia, fanongo ʻe ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ki he ngaahi moʻunga, mo e ngaahi vaitafe, pea ki he ngaahi teleʻa, pea mo e ngaahi potu lala, mo e ngaahi kolo kuo siʻaki, ʻaia naʻe hoko ko e meʻa vete mo e manukiʻanga ki he toenga hiteni, ʻoku nofo takatakai mai;
5therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Surely I have spoken in my hot jealousy against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who gave my land to themselves as a possession with wholehearted joy and utter contempt, that they might make its pasturelands a prey.
5Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko e moʻoni ko e meʻa ʻi he kakaha ʻo ʻeku fuaʻa kuo u lea ai ki he toenga hiteni, pea mo ʻItomi kotoa, ʻakinautolu kuo nau tuʻutuʻuni moʻonautolu ʻa hoku fonua ʻi he fiefia ʻa honau loto, mo e loto fakafāsifasi, ke liʻaki ia ke vetea.
6Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I have spoken in my jealous wrath, because you have suffered the reproach of the nations.
6Ko ia, ke ke kikite ai ki he fonua ko ʻIsileli, pea ke pehē ki he ngaahi moʻunga, pea mo e ngaahi tafungofunga, mo e ngaahi vaitafe, pea ki he ngaahi teleʻa, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, kuo u lea ʻi heʻeku fuaʻa mo ʻeku tuputāmaki, koeʻuhi kuo mou fua ʻae mā ʻae kau hiteni:
7Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: I swear that the nations that are all around you shall themselves suffer reproach.
7Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, kuo u hiki hake hoku nima, ko e moʻoni ʻe fua pe ʻenau mā ʻe he hiteni, ʻoku ofi kiate kimoutolu.
8“But you, O mountains of Israel, shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to my people Israel, for they will soon come home.
8Ka ko kimoutolu, ʻE ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻe fakatupu ke lōloa homou ngaahi vaʻa, pea ʻe tuku ʻa homou fua ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli: he kuo ofi mai ʻenau haʻu.
9For behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown.
9He, vakai, ʻoku ou kau mo kimoutolu, pea te u foki mai kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻe keli mo tūtuuʻi ʻakimoutolu:
10And I will multiply people on you, the whole house of Israel, all of it. The cities shall be inhabited and the waste places rebuilt.
10Pea te u fakatokolahi hoʻomou kakai tangata, ʻae fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻio, ʻa hono kātoa: pea ʻe fakakakai ʻae ngaahi kolo, pea ʻe toe langaʻi hake ʻae ngaahi potu lala.
11And I will multiply on you man and beast, and they shall multiply and be fruitful. And I will cause you to be inhabited as in your former times, and will do more good to you than ever before. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
11Pea te u fakatokolahi ʻae kau tangata, pea mo e fanga manu ʻiate kimoutolu pea te nau tupu ke lahi mo faʻa fua pea te u fakanofo ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa, pea ʻe lahi hake ʻae lelei te u fai kiate kimoutolu ʻi hono muʻaki fai: pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.
12I will let people walk on you, even my people Israel. And they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no longer bereave them of children.
12ʻIo, te u tuku ʻae kakai ke ʻeveʻeva ʻiate koe, ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli; pea te nau maʻu koe, pea te ke hoko ko honau tofiʻa, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke toe fakatokosiʻi ʻakinautolu.
13Thus says the Lord GOD: Because they say to you, ‘You devour people, and you bereave your nation of children,’
13ʻOku pehē ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Koeʻuhi ʻoku nau pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ke maumauʻi kakai, pea kuo ke fakatokosiʻi ho puleʻanga;
14therefore you shall no longer devour people and no longer bereave your nation of children, declares the Lord GOD.
14Ko ia ʻe ʻikai te ke toe maumau tangata, pe toe fakatokosiʻi ho puleʻanga, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
15And I will not let you hear anymore the reproach of the nations, and you shall no longer bear the disgrace of the peoples and no longer cause your nation to stumble, declares the Lord GOD.”
15Pea ʻe ʻikai te u tuku ke ongoʻi ʻa hoʻo fakamaaʻi ʻe he hiteni, pe te ke toe fua ʻae manukiʻi ʻae kakai, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke toe fakahinga ki lalo ho puleʻanga, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
16The word of the LORD came to me:
16Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
17“Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and their deeds. Their ways before me were like the uncleanness of a woman in her menstrual impurity.
17“Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻi he kei nofo ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi honau fonua ʻonautolu, naʻa nau fakalieliaʻi ia ʻi heʻenau anga ʻanautolu pe, mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻa nau fai: naʻe tatau kiate au ʻenau anga mo e taʻemaʻa ha fefine kuo vaheʻi.
18So I poured out my wrath upon them for the blood that they had shed in the land, for the idols with which they had defiled it.
18Ko ia naʻaku lilingi atu ai hoku houhau kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ko e toto naʻa nau lilingi ʻi he funga fonua, pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tamapua naʻa nau fakaʻuliʻi ʻaki ia:
19I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries. In accordance with their ways and their deeds I judged them.
19Pea naʻaku fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he hiteni, pea naʻe fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua: naʻaku fakamaauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau anga, pea tatau mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻa nau fai.
20But when they came to the nations, wherever they came, they profaned my holy name, in that people said of them, ‘These are the people of the LORD, and yet they had to go out of his land.’
20Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko atu ki he hiteni, ʻaia naʻa nau ʻalu ki ai, naʻa nau fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku huafa tapu ʻi heʻenau pehēange kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e kakai ʻena ʻa Sihova, pea kuo nau mahuʻi mai mei hono fonua.’
21But I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they came.
21Ka naʻaku mamae au ki hoku huafa tapu ʻaia ne fakalieliaʻi ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni ʻaia naʻa nau ʻalu ki ai.
22“Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came.
22Ko ia, lea ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻOku ʻikai te u fai eni koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ka koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa tapu ʻoʻoku, ʻaia kuo mou fakalieliaʻi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni, ʻaia naʻa mou ʻalu ki ai.
23And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.
23Pea te u fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa hoku huafa lahi, ʻaia naʻe fakalieliaʻi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni, ʻaia kuo mou fakalieliaʻi ʻiate kinautolu; pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he hiteni, ko Sihova au, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻoka fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi au ʻekimoutolu ʻi honau ʻao.
24I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land.
24He te u toʻo ʻakimoutolu mei he hiteni, pea tānaki ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua kotoa pē, mo ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki homou fonua ʻomoutolu.
25I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.
25Pea te u toki luluku ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae vai maʻa, pea te mou maʻa: te u fakamaʻa ʻakimoutolu mei hoʻomou fakalielia kotoa pē, pea mo homou ngaahi tamapua.
26And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
26Te u foaki foki ha loto foʻou kiate kimoutolu, pea te u ʻai kiate kimoutolu ha laumālie foʻou; te u toʻo ʻo ʻave ʻae loto maka mei homou kakano, pea te u foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae loto kakanoʻia.
27And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
27Pea te u tuku ki loto ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa hoku laumālie, pea te u fakalotoʻi ʻakimoutolu ke ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea te mou tauhi ʻaia ʻoku ou tuʻutuʻuni, pea fai ki ai.
28You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
28Pea te mou nofo ʻi he fonua naʻaku foaki ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai; pea te mou ʻi ai ko hoku kakai, pea te u ʻi ai au ko homou ʻOtua.
29And I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. And I will summon the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine upon you.
29Te u fakamoʻui foki ʻakimoutolu mei hoʻomou taʻemaʻa kotoa pē: pea te u ui ki he koane, pea te u fakatupu ia ke lahi, pea ʻe ʻikai tuku ha honge kiate kimoutolu.
30I will make the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field abundant, that you may never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations.
30Pea te u fakatupu ke lahi ʻae fua ʻi he ʻakau, mo e fua ʻoe kelekele, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe manuki ʻaki hoʻomou hongea ʻe he kakai hiteni.
31Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abominations.
31Pea te mou toki manatu ʻekimoutolu pe ki hoʻomou ngaahi faianga kovi, mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻa mou fai naʻe ʻikai lelei, pea te mou fehiʻa mate kiate kimoutolu, ʻi homou ʻao pe ʻomoutolu, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou hia, pea mo hoʻomou ngaahi fakalielia.
32It is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord GOD; let that be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.
32Ka mou ʻilo eni, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻOku ʻikai te u fai eni koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu: ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, mou mā, pea mou puputuʻu koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou ngaahi faianga.”
33“Thus says the Lord GOD: On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be rebuilt.
33ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u fakamaʻa ai ʻakimoutolu mei hoʻomou ngaahi angahala, te u pule foki ke mou nofo ki he ngaahi kolo, pea ʻe toe langaʻi hake ʻae ngaahi potu lala.
34And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, instead of being the desolation that it was in the sight of all who passed by.
34Pea ʻe toe ngoueʻi ʻae fonua ne lala, neongo naʻe tuku siʻaki pe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻonautolu kotoa pē, naʻe ʻalu ange ai.
35And they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden, and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’
35Pea te nau lea ʻo pehē, Ko e fonua ni ʻaia ne liʻaki, kuo hangē eni ko e ngoue ʻo ʻIteni; pea kuo ʻāʻi pea kuo fakakakai ʻae ngaahi kolo naʻe liʻaki mo maumauʻi.
36Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I am the LORD; I have rebuilt the ruined places and replanted that which was desolate. I am the LORD; I have spoken, and I will do it.
36Pea ʻe toki ʻilo ai ʻe he toenga hiteni ʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate kimoutolu, ko au ia ko Sihova, ʻoku toe langa ai ʻae ngaahi potu ne maumauʻi, pea toe ngoueʻi ʻaia naʻe liʻaki: ko au ko Sihova kuo lea ki ai, pea ko au te u fai ia.”
37“Thus says the Lord GOD: This also I will let the house of Israel ask me to do for them: to increase their people like a flock.
37ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ka naʻa mo eni ʻe kumi au ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ke u fai ia maʻanautolu; pea te u fakatokolahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e tupu ha fanga sipi.
38Like the flock for sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
38ʻO hangē ko e fanga sipi māʻoniʻoni, ʻae fanga sipi ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga māʻoniʻoni ʻi ai; ʻe pehē ʻae fakapito ʻaki ʻae kakai ʻae ngaahi kolo ne liʻaki: pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
