Selemaia 22

1Thus says the LORD: “Go down to the house of the king of Judah and speak there this word,
1‌ʻOKU pehē ʻe Sihova; ʻAlu hifo ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea lea ʻaki ʻae lea ni ki ai,
2and say, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter these gates.
2‌ʻo pehē, Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻE tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo Tevita, ʻa koe, mo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hoʻo kakai ʻoku hū ki he ngaahi matapā ni:
3Thus says the LORD: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.
3‌ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Mou fai ʻae fakamaau mo e angatonu, pea fakamoʻui ʻaia kuo fakamālohia mei he nima ʻoe fakamālohi: pea ʻoua naʻa fai kākā ki he muli, mo e tamai mate, pea mo e fefine kuo mate hono ʻunoho; ʻoua naʻa fai fakamālohi, pe lilingi ʻae toto taʻehalaia ʻi he potu ni.
4For if you will indeed obey this word, then there shall enter the gates of this house kings who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants and their people.
4He kapau te mou fai moʻoni ki he meʻa ni, pea ʻe toki hū ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale ni, ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻo Tevita, ʻo heka ki he ngaahi saliote pea mo e fanga hoosi, ko ia, mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hono kakai.
5But if you will not obey these words, I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
5Ka ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ni, ʻoku ou fuakava ʻiate au, ke hoko ʻae fale ni ko e liʻaki.
6For thus says the LORD concerning the house of the king of Judah: “‘You are like Gilead to me, like the summit of Lebanon, yet surely I will make you a desert, an uninhabited city.
6He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Siuta; Ko Kiliati koe kiate au, pea mo e ʻulu ʻo Lepanoni: ka ko e moʻoni te u ngaohi koe ko e toafa, pea ko e ngaahi kolo ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha kakai.
7I will prepare destroyers against you, each with his weapons, and they shall cut down your choicest cedars and cast them into the fire.
7Pea te u fekau kiate koe ʻae kau fakaʻauha, ke ʻalu taki taha mo ʻene mahafutau: pea te nau tā hifo ʻae ngaahi sita lelei ʻiate koe, pea laku ki he afi.
8“‘And many nations will pass by this city, and every man will say to his neighbor, “Why has the LORD dealt thus with this great city?”
8Pea ʻe ʻalu ʻo ofi ki he kolo ni ʻae kakai tokolahi, pea te nau fepehēʻaki, Ko e hā kuo fai pehē ai ʻa Sihova ki he kolo lahi ni?
9And they will answer, “Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God and worshiped other gods and served them.”’”
9Pea te nau toki lea, Koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki ʻae fuakava ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea lotu ki he ngaahi ʻOtua kehe, ʻo tauhi ʻakinautolu.”
10Weep not for him who is dead, nor grieve for him, but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he shall return no more to see his native land.
10ʻOua naʻa mou tangi koeʻuhi ko e pekia, pe tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko ia: kae tangi mamahi koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku ʻalu: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne toe haʻu, pe toe mamata ki hono fonua.
11For thus says the LORD concerning Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went away from this place: “He shall return here no more,
11He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova kia Salumi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, “ʻAia naʻe pule ko e fetongi ʻo Siosaia ko ʻene tamai, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi he potu ni; ʻE ʻikai te ne toe haʻu ki ai:
12but in the place where they have carried him captive, there shall he die, and he shall never see this land again.”
12Ka te ne mate ʻi he potu kuo nau tataki fakapōpula ia ki ai, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne toe mamata ki he fonua ni.”
13“Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms by injustice, who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing and does not give him his wages,
13ʻE malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku langa hono fale ʻi he taʻetotonu, pea mo hono ngaahi potu ki ʻolunga ʻi he fai taʻeangatonu; ʻaia ʻoku pule ki hono kaungāʻapi ke ngāue taʻetotongi, pea ʻikai totongi ia ki heʻene ngāue;
14who says, ‘I will build myself a great house with spacious upper rooms,’ who cuts out windows for it, paneling it with cedar and painting it with vermilion.
14‌ʻAia ʻoku pehē, “Te u langa moʻoku ʻae fale lahi pea mo e ngaahi potu lahi ʻi ʻolunga,” pea ne tutuʻu maʻana ʻae ngaahi tupa; pea ʻoku ʻaofi ia ʻi ʻolunga ʻaki ʻae sita, pea vali ʻaki ʻae enga kulokula.
15Do you think you are a king because you compete in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.
15He te ke pule koe, koeʻuhi kuo takatakai ʻaki koe ʻae sita? ʻIkai naʻe kai mo inu ʻa hoʻo tamai, pea fai angatonu mo fakamaau, pea naʻe lelei ai ia?
16He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Is not this to know me? declares the LORD.
16Naʻa ne fakamaau ʻe ia ʻae meʻa ʻae paea mo e masiva; pea naʻe lelei ai ia: ʻikai ko e meʻa ia ʻi heʻene ʻiloʻi au? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova.
17But you have eyes and heart only for your dishonest gain, for shedding innocent blood, and for practicing oppression and violence.”
17Ka kuo tuku pe ho mata mo ho loto ʻoʻou ki hoʻo manumanu, pea ke lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe taʻehalaia, pea ke fai ʻae fakamamahi, mo e fakamālohi;
18Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: “They shall not lament for him, saying, ‘Ah, my brother!’or ‘Ah, sister!’ They shall not lament for him, saying, ‘Ah, lord!’or ‘Ah, his majesty!’
18Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sihoiakimi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta; “ʻE ʻikai te nau tangi koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOiauē hoku tokoua! pe, ʻOiauē hoku tuofefine!’ ʻE ʻikai te nau tangi koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOiauē ʻe ʻEiki! Pe ʻOiauē, ʻa hono nāunau!’
19With the burial of a donkey he shall be buried, dragged and dumped beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”
19Pea ʻe tanu ia ʻo hangē ko e tanu ʻae asi, ʻe toho ia ʻo lī kituʻa ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻo Selūsalema.”
20“Go up to Lebanon, and cry out, and lift up your voice in Bashan; cry out from Abarim, for all your lovers are destroyed.
20ʻAlu hake ki Lepanoni, pea tangi pea hiki hake ho leʻo ki Pesani, pea tangi mei he ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua: he kuo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻofa kiate koe.
21I spoke to you in your prosperity, but you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, that you have not obeyed my voice.
21Naʻaku lea kiate koe ʻi hoʻo kei monūʻia; ka naʻa ke pehē, ʻE ʻikai te u fanongo. Ko hoʻo ʻulungāanga eni talu hoʻo kei siʻi, he ʻoku ʻikai te ke fanongo ki hoku leʻo.
22The wind shall shepherd all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity; then you will be ashamed and confounded because of all your evil.
22‌ʻE fakaʻosi kotoa pē ʻe he matangi ʻa hoʻo kau tauhi kotoa pē, pea ʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate koe: pea te ke toki mā moʻoni, pea puputuʻu koeʻuhi ko hoʻo angahala kotoa pē.
23O inhabitant of Lebanon, nested among the cedars, how you will be pitied when pangs come upon you, pain as of a woman in labor!”
23‌ʻA koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Lepanoni, ʻa koe kuo ngaohi ho mohenga ʻi he ngaahi sita, hono ʻikai ʻe fakavaivaiʻi koe ʻoka hoko kiate koe ʻae mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e fefine ʻoku langā ke fāʻele!
24“As I live, declares the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were the signet ring on my right hand, yet I would tear you off
24‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko au ʻoku ou moʻui, pea ka ne tatau ʻa Konaia ko e foha ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo e mama ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu, te u lī koe mei ai;
25and give you into the hand of those who seek your life, into the hand of those of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
25Pea te u tukuange koe ki he nima ʻokinautolu ʻoku kumi ki hoʻo moʻui, pea ki he nima ʻokinautolu ʻoku ke manavahē ki ai, ʻio, ki he nima ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea ki he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia.
26I will hurl you and the mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born, and there you shall die.
26Pea te u kapusi koe, mo hoʻo fale, ʻaia naʻa ne fāʻeleʻi koe, ki he fonua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou fāʻeleʻi ai; pea ʻe mate ai ʻakimoutolu.
27But to the land to which they will long to return, there they shall not return.”
27Ka ko e fonua ʻaia ʻoku nau holi ke liliu ki ai, ʻe ʻikai te nau toe liliu ki ai.”
28Is this man Coniah a despised, broken pot, a vessel no one cares for? Why are he and his children hurled and cast into a land that they do not know?
28“Ko e tangata ni ko Konaia, ʻikai ko e tamapua fehiʻanekina ia kuo maumauʻi? Pe ko e ipu ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa ki ai ha taha? Ko e hā kuo kapusi ai ʻakinautolu, ko ia mo hono hako, pea kuo kapusi ki he fonua ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo?”
29O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD!
29‌ʻAe fonua, ʻae fonua, ʻae fonua, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
30Thus says the LORD: “Write this man down as childless, a man who shall not succeed in his days, for none of his offspring shall succeed in sitting on the throne of David and ruling again in Judah.”
30“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Tohi ʻae tangata ni ke taʻehaʻanefānau, ko e tangata ʻe ʻikai te ne monūʻia ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho: pea ʻe ʻikai monūʻia ha tangata ʻi hono hako, ke nofo ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻo Tevita, pe pule ki Siuta ʻo taʻengata.”
