Selemaia 44

1The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Judeans who lived in the land of Egypt, at Migdol, at Tahpanhes, at Memphis, and in the land of Pathros,

1KO E lea ʻaia naʻe hoko kia Selemaia ki he kau Siu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea ʻi Mikitoli, mo Tapanesi, mo Nofe, pea mo e ngaahi potu ʻo Patalosi, ʻo pehē,

2“Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: You have seen all the disaster that I brought upon Jerusalem and upon all the cities of Judah. Behold, this day they are a desolation, and no one dwells in them,

2“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘Kuo mou mamata ki he kovi kotoa pē kuo u ʻomi ki Selūsalema, pea mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta; pea vakai, kuo nau lala ʻi he ʻaho ni, pea ʻoku ʻikai nofo ai ha tangata,

3because of the evil that they committed, provoking me to anger, in that they went to make offerings and serve other gods that they knew not, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.

3Koeʻuhi ko ʻenau angahala ʻaia naʻa nau fai ke fakatupu ai ʻeku tuputāmaki, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala, pea tauhi ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo, ʻekinautolu, pe ko kimoutolu, pe ko hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.

4Yet I persistently sent to you all my servants the prophets, saying, ‘Oh, do not do this abomination that I hate!’

4Ko ia naʻaku fekau ai kiate kimoutolu, ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake pe ʻo fekauʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOiauē, ʻoua naʻa fai ʻae meʻa fakalielia ni ʻaia ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki ai.”

5But they did not listen or incline their ear, to turn from their evil and make no offerings to other gods.

5Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga, pe fakafanongo honau telinga ke tafoki mei heʻenau angahala, ke ʻoua naʻa tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.

6Therefore my wrath and my anger were poured out and kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, and they became a waste and a desolation, as at this day.

6Ko ia naʻe lilingi atu ai hoku houhau mo ʻeku tuʻutāmaki, pea naʻe tutu ia ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta mo e ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema; pea kuo lala mo liʻaki ia, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho ni.’

7And now thus says the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against yourselves, to cut off from you man and woman, infant and child, from the midst of Judah, leaving you no remnant?

7“Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Ko e hā ʻoku mou fai ai ʻae kovi lahi ni ki homou laumālie, ke tuʻusi ai meiate kimoutolu ʻae tangata mo e fefine, ʻae tamasiʻi mo e kei huhu, ʻi Siuta, ke ʻoua naʻa toe ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu;

8Why do you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, making offerings to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have come to live, so that you may be cut off and become a curse and a taunt among all the nations of the earth?

8Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fakahouhau ʻaki au ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa homou nima, ʻi he tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa mou ʻalu ke nofo ki ai, koeʻuhi ke mou kapusi ʻakimoutolu, pea te mou hoko ko e fakamalaʻia mo e ongoongo kovi ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani?

9Have you forgotten the evil of your fathers, the evil of the kings of Judah, the evil of their wives, your own evil, and the evil of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

9Kuo ngalo ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi angahala ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, mo e angahala ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo e angahala ʻa honau ngaahi ʻunoho, mo hoʻomou angahala ʻamoutolu, mo e angahala ʻa homou ʻunoho, ʻaia kuo nau fai ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema?

10They have not humbled themselves even to this day, nor have they feared, nor walked in my law and my statutes that I set before you and before your fathers.

10Pea ʻoku ʻikai fakavaivaiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau manavahē, pe ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku fono, mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻaia kuo u tuku ʻi honau ʻao, pea mo e ʻao ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.’

11“Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set my face against you for harm, to cut off all Judah.

11“Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Vakai, te u fakahangatonu atu hoku fofonga kiate kimoutolu ki he kovi, pea ke motuhi ʻa Siuta kotoa pē.

12I will take the remnant of Judah who have set their faces to come to the land of Egypt to live, and they shall all be consumed. In the land of Egypt they shall fall; by the sword and by famine they shall be consumed. From the least to the greatest, they shall die by the sword and by famine, and they shall become an oath, a horror, a curse, and a taunt.

12Pea teu ʻave ʻae toenga ʻo Siuta, ko kinautolu kuo fakahangatonu atu honau mata ke ʻalu ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite ke ʻāunofo ai, pea te nau tō ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite pea ʻe ʻauha kotoa pē; ʻio, ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae heletā pea mo e honge: te nau mate ʻi he heletā mo e honge, ʻo fai mei he iiki ʻo aʻu ki he lalahi: pea te nau hoko ko e fehiʻanekina, mo e fakaofo, mo e fakamalaʻia, pea mo e ongoongo kovi.

13I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence,

13He te u tautea ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tautea ʻa Selūsalema, ʻaki ʻae heletā, mo e honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha:

14so that none of the remnant of Judah who have come to live in the land of Egypt shall escape or survive or return to the land of Judah, to which they desire to return to dwell there. For they shall not return, except some fugitives.”

14Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hao pe toe ha taha ʻi he toenga ʻo Siuta, ʻaia kuo ʻalu ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite ke ʻāunofo ai, pe te ne toe foki ki he fonua ko Siuta, ʻaia ʻoku nau fie foki ke nofo ai: ka ko e tokosiʻi pe ʻe hola te nau foki mai.’|”

15Then all the men who knew that their wives had made offerings to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, all the people who lived in Pathros in the land of Egypt, answered Jeremiah:

15Pea ko e kau tangata kotoa pē kuo ʻilo kuo tutu ʻe honau ngaahi ʻunoho ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pea mo e kau fefine kotoa pē naʻe tutuʻu ai, ko e tokolahi, ʻio, ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi Patalosi, naʻa nau tali kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,

16“As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we will not listen to you.

16“Ko e meʻa ʻi he lea kuo ke lea ʻaki kiate kimautolu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, ʻe ʻikai te mau fanongo kiate koe.

17But we will do everything that we have vowed, make offerings to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, as we did, both we and our fathers, our kings and our officials, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, and prospered, and saw no disaster.

17Ka te mau fai moʻoni ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ʻalu atu ʻi homau ngutu, ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ʻeiki fefine ʻoe langi, pea lilingi ʻemau feilaulau inu kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa mau fai, ʻakimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai, mo homau ngaahi tuʻi, mo homau houʻeiki, ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema: he naʻa mau maʻu ai ʻae meʻakai lahi, pea naʻa mau lelei, pea ʻikai mamata ki he kovi.

18But since we left off making offerings to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been consumed by the sword and by famine.”

18Kae talu ʻemau tuku ʻemau tutu meʻa namu kakala ki he ʻeiki fefine ʻoe langi, pea mo ʻemau lilingi feilaulau inu kiate ia, kuo mau masiva ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, pea kuo fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu ʻaki ʻae heletā, pea mo e honge.

19And the women said, “When we made offerings to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it without our husbands’ approval that we made cakes for her bearing her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”

19“ Pea ʻi he ʻemau tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ʻeiki fefine ʻoe langi, pea lilingi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau inu kiate ia, naʻa mau ngaohi ʻae mā maʻana, pea hū ki ai, mo lilingi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau inu kiate ia, taʻehamau kau tangata?”

20Then Jeremiah said to all the people, men and women, all the people who had given him this answer:

20Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Selemaia ki he kakai kotoa pē, ki he kau tangata, mo e kau fefine, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe tali ʻaki ʻae lea ko ia, ʻo pehē,

21“As for the offerings that you offered in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your officials, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them? Did it not come into his mind?

21“Ko e meʻa namu kakala ʻaia kuo mou tutu ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema, ʻakimoutolu, mo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, mo homou ngaahi tuʻi, pea mo homou houʻeiki, pea mo e kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻikai naʻe manatu ʻa Sihova ki ai, pea ʻikai naʻe hoko ia ki hono finangalo?

22The LORD could no longer bear your evil deeds and the abominations that you committed. Therefore your land has become a desolation and a waste and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day.

22Ko ia naʻe ʻikai toe faʻa kātaki ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ko e kovi ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi faianga, pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia kuo mou fai; ko ia kuo lala ai homou fonua, pea ko e meʻa fakaofo, pea ko e malaʻia, pea taʻehanokakai, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he ʻaho ni.

23It is because you made offerings and because you sinned against the LORD and did not obey the voice of the LORD or walk in his law and in his statutes and in his testimonies that this disaster has happened to you, as at this day.”

23Koeʻuhi kuo mou tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala, pea koeʻuhi kuo mou angahala kia Sihova, pea ʻikai talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, pe ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻene ngaahi fono, pe ʻi heʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pe ʻi heʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni; ko ia kuo hoko ai ʻae kovi ni kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho ni.”

24Jeremiah said to all the people and all the women, “Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah who are in the land of Egypt.

24Naʻe lea foki ʻa Selemaia, ki he kakai kotoa pē, mo e kau fefine kotoa pē, “Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻa Siuta kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite:

25Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: You and your wives have declared with your mouths, and have fulfilled it with your hands, saying, ‘We will surely perform our vows that we have made, to make offerings to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings to her.’Then confirm your vows and perform your vows!

25‌ʻOku folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo lea ʻaki homou ngutu ʻomoutolu mo homou ngaahi ʻunoho, pea fakamoʻoni ʻaki homou nima, ʻo pehē, “Te mau fakamoʻoni ʻemau ngaahi fuakava ʻaia kuo mau fuakava ʻaki ke tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ʻeiki fefine ʻoe langi, pea te mau lilingi ʻemau ngaahi feilaulau inu kiate ia:” “|‘Ko e moʻoni te mou fakahoko ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi fuakava, ko e moʻoni te mou fakamoʻoni ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi fuakava.

26Therefore hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, says the LORD, that my name shall no more be invoked by the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, ‘As the Lord GOD lives.’

26“Ko ia mou fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻa Siuta kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite; Vakai, kuo u fuakava ʻi hoku huafa lahi, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe takua hoku huafa ʻe he ngutu ʻo ha tangata ʻo Siuta ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku moʻui ʻae ʻEiki ko Sihova.’

27Behold, I am watching over them for disaster and not for good. All the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there is an end of them.

27Vakai, te u leʻohi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae kovi, kae ʻikai ha lelei: pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻaki ʻae heletā, mo e honge, ke ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻakinautolu.

28And those who escape the sword shall return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, who came to the land of Egypt to live, shall know whose word will stand, mine or theirs.

28Ka ko e tokosiʻi pe ʻe hao mei he heletā pea liliu mai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ki he fonua ko Siuta, pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he toenga kakai kotoa pē ʻo Siuta kuo ʻalu ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite ke ʻāunofo ʻi ai, pe ko e lea ʻa hai ʻe tuʻumaʻu, ʻaʻaku, pe ʻanautolu.”

29This shall be the sign to you, declares the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, in order that you may know that my words will surely stand against you for harm:

29“Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko e fakaʻilonga eni kiate kimoutolu, te u tautea ʻakimoutolu ʻi he potu ni, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻoku moʻoni ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻeku ngaahi lea kiate kimoutolu ke mou kovi ai:’

30Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life.”

30‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova;‘ Vakai, Te u tukuange ʻa Felo-Hofala ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ki he nima ʻo hono ngaahi fili, pea ki honau nima ʻoku kumi ki heʻene moʻui, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tuku ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki he nima ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ko hono fili, ʻaia naʻe kumi ki heʻene moʻui.’”
