Selemaia 13

1Thus says the LORD to me, “Go and buy a linen loincloth and put it around your waist, and do not dip it in water.”
1‌ʻOKU pehē mai ʻe Sihova kiate au, “ʻAlu ʻo toʻo kiate koe ʻae noʻo ʻoe tupenu lelei, pea ʻai ia ki ho kongaloto, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ia ki he vai.”
2So I bought a loincloth according to the word of the LORD, and put it around my waist.
2Pea naʻaku toʻo ʻae noʻo ʻo ʻai ia ki hoku kongaloto, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.
3And the word of the LORD came to me a second time,
3Pea naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ko hono liunga ua, ʻo pehē,
4“Take the loincloth that you have bought, which is around your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.”
4“Toʻo ʻae noʻo ʻaia ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ho kongaloto, pea ke tuʻu, ʻo ʻalu ki ʻIufaletesi, pea fakafufū ia ʻi he ʻanaʻi maka.”
5So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
5Pea ne u ʻalu ʻo fakafufū ia, ʻo ofi ki ʻIufaletesi, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova.
6And after many days the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from there the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there.”
6Pea naʻe hoko, ʻo pehē, ʻi he hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lahi, naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Tuʻu, pea ke ʻalu ki ʻIufaletesi, pea toʻo mei ai ʻae noʻo, ʻaia naʻaku fekau ke ke fakafufū ʻi ai.”
7Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and I took the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it. And behold, the loincloth was spoiled; it was good for nothing.
7Pea ne u ʻalu ki ʻIufaletesi, mo keli, pea toʻo mai ʻae noʻo mei he potu ne u fakafufū ai ia: pea vakai, kuo maumauʻi ʻae noʻo, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi ʻaonga ia.
8Then the word of the LORD came to me:
8Pea naʻe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
9“Thus says the LORD: Even so will I spoil the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
9“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Teu maumauʻi pehē ʻae fielahi ʻa Siuta, pea mo e laukau lahi ʻa Selūsalema.
10This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who stubbornly follow their own heart and have gone after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be like this loincloth, which is good for nothing.
10Ko e kakai kovi ni, ʻoku nau fakaongo tuli ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, pea ʻeveʻeva ʻi he mahalo vaʻinga ʻo honau loto, pea muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻo tauhi ʻakinautolu, pea lotu kiate kinautolu: te nau hangē ko e noʻo ni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai siʻi ʻaonga.
11For as the loincloth clings to the waist of a man, so I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me, declares the LORD, that they might be for me a people, a name, a praise, and a glory, but they would not listen.
11Koeʻuhi hangē ʻoku pipiki ʻae noʻo ki he kongaloto ʻoe tangata, naʻe pehē ʻeku fakapipiki kiate au ʻae fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e fale kotoa ʻo Siuta, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova: koeʻuhi ke nau hoko kiate au ko e kakai, mo e hingoa, mo e fakamālō mo e nāunau: ka naʻa nau fakaongotuli pe.”
12“You shall speak to them this word: ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, “Every jar shall be filled with wine.”’And they will say to you, ‘Do we not indeed know that every jar will be filled with wine?’
12“Ko ia ke ke lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni kiate kinautolu: ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻE fakapito ʻaki ʻae uaine ʻae hina kotoa pē: pea te nau pehē kiate koe, ʻIkai ʻoku mau ʻilo pau ʻe fakapito ʻaki ʻae uaine ʻae hina kotoa pē.
13Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD: Behold, I will fill with drunkenness all the inhabitants of this land: the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
13Pea te ke toki lea pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, te u fakapito ʻaki ʻae kona, ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ni, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Tevita, mo e kau taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kau palōfita, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema.
14And I will dash them one against another, fathers and sons together, declares the LORD. I will not pity or spare or have compassion, that I should not destroy them.’”
14Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u fakafetēleni ke laiki ʻakinautolu, ko e ngaahi tamai ki he ngaahi foha: ʻE ʻikai te u ʻofa, pe fakamoʻui, pe fai ʻaloʻofa, ka ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.”
15Hear and give ear; be not proud, for the LORD has spoken.
15Mou fanongo, mo tokanga; pea ʻoua naʻa fielahi: he kuo folofola ʻa Sihova.
16Give glory to the LORD your God before he brings darkness, before your feet stumble on the twilight mountains, and while you look for light he turns it into gloom and makes it deep darkness.
16Mou fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻi he teʻeki ai te ne fakatupu ʻae fakapoʻuli, pea ʻi he teʻeki ai ke tūkia homou vaʻe ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻoe fakapoʻuli, pea lolotonga hoʻomou ʻamanaki ki he maama, te ne liliu ia ko e poʻuli matolu, pea mo e malumalu ʻoe mate.
17But if you will not listen, my soul will weep in secret for your pride; my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.
17Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo ki ai ʻe tangi hoku laumālie ʻi he ngaahi potu lilo koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou fielahi; pea ʻe tangi lahi hoku mata, pea ʻe tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi loʻimata, koeʻuhi kuo ʻave fakapōpula ʻae fanga sipi ʻa Sihova.
18Say to the king and the queen mother: “Take a lowly seat, for your beautiful crown has come down from your head.”
18Ke ke lea ki he tuʻi mo e tuʻi fefine, Mo fakavaivai ʻakimoua, ʻo nofo hifo: he te ne tō hifo mei homo ʻulu ʻae tatā ʻo homo nāunau.
19The cities of the Negeb are shut up, with none to open them; all Judah is taken into exile, wholly taken into exile.
19‌ʻE tāpuni ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻi he feituʻu tonga, pea ʻe ʻikai toʻo ʻe ha taha: ʻE fetuku fakapōpula ʻa Siuta kātoa; ʻe ʻave ia kotoa pē ʻo fakapōpulaʻi.
20“Lift up your eyes and see those who come from the north. Where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
20Hanga hake homou mata, ʻo mamata kiate kinautolu kuo haʻu mei he tokelau: ko e fē ʻae fanga sipi naʻe tuku kiate koe, ko hoʻo fanga sipi matamatalelei?
21What will you say when they set as head over you those whom you yourself have taught to be friends to you? Will not pangs take hold of you like those of a woman in labor?
21Ko e hā te ke lea ʻaki ʻoka tautea ʻe ia ʻa koe? He kuo ke akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu ke nau ʻeiki, mo pule kiate koe: ʻikai te ke moʻua ʻi he ngaahi mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e langā ʻae fefine?
22And if you say in your heart, ‘Why have these things come upon me?’ it is for the greatness of your iniquity that your skirts are lifted up and you suffer violence.
22Pea kapau te ke pehē ʻi ho loto, Ko e hā kuo hoko ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate au? Ko e meʻa ʻi hono lahi ʻo hoʻo hia, ko ia kuo fakatelefuaʻi koe, kuo fakatelefua ʻa ho mui vaʻe.
23Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? Then also you can do good who are accustomed to do evil.
23‌ʻE faʻa liliu ʻe he ʻItiopea hono kili, pe ko e lēpati hono pulepule? Pea te mou toki faʻa fai lelei foki, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku maheni ai ʻi he fai kovi.
24I will scatter you like chaff driven by the wind from the desert.
24Ko ia te u fakamovetevete ai ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e mohuku ʻoku ʻave ʻe he matangi ki he toafa.
25This is your lot, the portion I have measured out to you, declares the LORD, because you have forgotten me and trusted in lies.
25Ko ho ʻinasi eni, ko ho vahe kuo fuofua meiate au, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; koeʻuhi kuo ke fakangalongaloʻi au, mo ke falala ki he loi.
26I myself will lift up your skirts over your face, and your shame will be seen.
26Ko ia te u fakatelefuaʻi koe, ke hā mai ai hoʻo mā.
27I have seen your abominations, your adulteries and neighings, your lewd whorings, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! How long will it be before you are made clean?”
27Kuo u mamata ki hoʻo tonotangata, mo hoʻo holi, mo hono lahi ʻo hoʻo feʻauaki, mo hoʻo fai fakalielia ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga mo e ngoue. ʻE malaʻia koe, ʻE Selūsalema! ʻOku ʻikai te ke fie maʻa? ʻE hoko fakakū ia?”
