Selemaia 10

1Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.
1‌ʻE FALE ʻo ʻIsileli, mou fanongo ki he lea ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu!
2Thus says the LORD: “Learn not the way of the nations, nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens because the nations are dismayed at them,
2‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOua te mou ako ki he hala ʻoe hiteni, pea ʻoua te mou ilifia ki he ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻi he langi, he ʻoku ilifia ki ai ʻae hiteni.
3for the customs of the peoples are vanity. A tree from the forest is cut down and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
3He ko e vaʻinga ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai: he ʻoku tā ʻaki ha toki ʻe ha taha ʻae ʻakau ʻi he vao, ko e ngāue ʻae tufunga.
4They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so that it cannot move.
4‌ʻOku nau teuteu ia ʻaki ʻae siliva mo e koula; pea ʻoku nau fakamaʻu ia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi faʻo pea mo e ngaahi hamala, ke ʻoua naʻa ngaueue ia.
5Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”
5‌ʻOku nau tuʻu tonu ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau ko e ponga, ka ʻoku ʻikai lea: ʻoku fua ʻakinautolu, he ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa ʻeveʻeva. Pea ʻoua naʻa manavahē kiate kinautolu; he ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa fai ha kovi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ha fai lelei.”
6There is none like you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might.
6He ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku hangē ko koe, ʻE Sihova; ʻoku ke lahi koe, pea ʻoku lahi ho huafa ʻi he māfimafi.
7Who would not fear you, O King of the nations? For this is your due; for among all the wise ones of the nations and in all their kingdoms there is none like you.
7Ko hai ʻe taʻemanavahē kiate koe, ʻA koe, ko e Tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga? He ʻoku ʻaʻau ia. He ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku tatau mo koe, ʻi he kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi kakai, pe ʻi honau ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
8They are both stupid and foolish; the instruction of idols is but wood!
8Ka ʻoku nau anga fakamanu pea vale ʻaupito: ko e meʻa akonaki ki he vale ʻae tamapua.
9Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz. They are the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith; their clothing is violet and purple; they are all the work of skilled men.
9‌ʻOku ʻomi ʻae siliva lafalafa mei Tasisi, pea mo e koula mei ʻUfase, ko e ngāue ʻae tufunga, mo e nima ʻoe tangata ngaohi ukamea; ko honau kofu ʻoku ʻuliʻuli mo kulokula: ko e ngāue kotoa pē ʻae kau tangata poto.
10But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King. At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his indignation.
10Ka ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua moʻoni, ko e ʻOtua moʻui ia, pea ko e Tuʻi taʻengata: pea ʻe ngaueue ʻa māmani ʻi hono houhau, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa kātaki ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻa ʻene tuputāmaki.
11Thus shall you say to them: “The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.”
11“Pea te ke lea pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e ngaahi ʻotua naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻae ngaahi langi, mo māmani, ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi māmani, pea mei he lalo langi.’|”
12It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.
12Kuo ne ngaohi ʻae kelekele ʻaki hono mālohi, kuo ne fokotuʻumaʻu ʻa māmani ʻaki ʻene ʻilo, pea kuo ne folahi ʻae ngaahi langi ʻi heʻene poto.
13When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
13‌ʻOku folofola ia ʻaki hono leʻo, ʻoku lahi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi he langi, pea ʻoku ne fakatupu hake ʻae ngaahi ʻao mei he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani; ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila mo e ʻuha, pea ne ʻomi ʻae matangi mei hono ngaahi tukuʻanga koloa.
14Every man is stupid and without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, for his images are false, and there is no breath in them.
14‌ʻOku vale ʻi he ʻilo ʻae tangata kotoa pē: ʻoku puputuʻu ʻae tufunga kotoa pē ʻi he tamapua kuo tā: he ko e loi ʻene tamapua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mānava ʻi ai.
15They are worthless, a work of delusion; at the time of their punishment they shall perish.
15Ko e vaʻinga ʻakinautolu, ko e ngāue ʻae vale: pea ʻe ʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tautea ai ʻakinautolu.
16Not like these is he who is the portion of Jacob, for he is the one who formed all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD of hosts is his name.
16‌ʻOku ʻikai tatau mo kinautolu ʻae ʻinasi ʻo Sēkope: he ko e tupuʻanga ia ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē; pea ko e fuofua ʻo hono tofiʻa ko ʻIsileli: Ko hono huafa ko Sihova.
17Gather up your bundle from the ground, O you who dwell under siege!
17‌ʻA koe ko e nofo kolo, ke ke tānaki ho ngaʻotoʻota ʻo ke hola ʻi he fonua.
18For thus says the LORD: “Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and I will bring distress on them, that they may feel it.”
18He ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, “Vakai, te u lī ʻae kakai ni ʻi he fonua, ʻo hangē ko e maka tā, pea te u fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau ongoʻi ia.”
19Woe is me because of my hurt! My wound is grievous. But I said, “Truly this is an affliction, and I must bear it.”
19Kuo u malaʻia ʻi hoku lavea! ʻOku lahi hoku kafu: ka naʻaku pehē, “Ko e mamahi moʻoni eni, ka te u kātaki pe ia.”
20My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken; my children have gone from me, and they are not; there is no one to spread my tent again and to set up my curtains.
20Kuo hae hoku fale fehikitaki, pea kuo motuhi ʻeku maea kotoa pē: kuo ʻalu ʻiate au ʻeku fānau, pea kuo ʻikai ʻakinautolu: ʻoku ʻikai toe ha niʻihi ke toe folahi ʻa hoku fale fehikitaki, pea ke tautau hoku puipui.
21For the shepherds are stupid and do not inquire of the LORD; therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered.
21He kuo liliu ʻo anga fakakakano ʻae kau tauhi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau kumi kia Sihova: ko ia ʻe ʻikai te nau monūʻia, pea ʻe fakamovetevete honau kakai.
22A voice, a rumor! Behold, it comes!— a great commotion out of the north country to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a lair of jackals.
22Vakai, ʻoku ongo mai ʻae ongoongo ʻoe longoaʻa, pea mo e maveuveu lahi mei he fonua tokelau, ke fakalala ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea ke ngaohi ia ko e ʻana ʻoe fanga talākoni.”
23I know, O LORD, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
23‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tangata pe hono hala: ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tangata ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ke fakahinohino hono ʻaluʻanga.
24Correct me, O LORD, but in justice; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
24‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke taaʻi au, pea ke fai ʻi he ʻofa; ʻoua naʻa ʻi ho houhau, telia naʻa ke fakaʻauha au.
25Pour out your wrath on the nations that know you not, and on the peoples that call not on your name, for they have devoured Jacob; they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
25Lilingi ho houhau ki he hiteni ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo koe, pea ki he ngaahi kaunga fale ʻoku ʻikai ui ki ho huafa: he kuo nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻa Sēkope, pea kuo folo hifo ia, pea kuo nau fakaʻauha ia, pea fakalala hono nofoʻanga.
