Selemaia 48
1Concerning Moab. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “Woe to Nebo, for it is laid waste! Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken; the fortress is put to shame and broken down;
1ʻOKU folofola pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ki Moape; “ʻE malaʻia ʻa Nipo! He kuo maumau ia: kuo veuveuki mo kapa ʻa Kiliateimi: pea kuo maveuveu mo puputuʻu ʻa Misikapi.
2the renown of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they planned disaster against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!’ You also, O Madmen, shall be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue you.
2ʻE ʻikai toe fakaongolelei ʻa Moape: kuo nau fakakaukau kovi ki ai ʻi Hesiponi; ( ʻo pehē,) ‘Ke tau tuʻusi ia ke ʻoua naʻa kei puleʻanga ia.’ Pea ʻe tuʻusi foki ʻa koe Matimena: ʻe tuli koe ʻe he heletā.
3“A voice! A cry from Horonaim, ‘Desolation and great destruction!’
3Kuo ongo mai ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangi mei Holonaimi, ‘Ko e maumauʻi mo e fakaʻauha lahi.’
4Moab is destroyed; her little ones have made a cry.
4Kuo fakaʻauha ʻa Moape; kuo tangi ke ongo ʻa hono kakai iiki.
5For at the ascent of Luhith they go up weeping; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distressed cry of destruction.
5Koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻa Luiti te nau ʻalu hake mo e tangi maʻuaipē: he kuo fanongo ʻae fili ki he tangi ʻoe fakaʻauha ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻa Holonaimi.
6Flee! Save yourselves! You will be like a juniper in the desert!
6Mou hola, pea fakahaofi hoʻomou moʻui, ka te mou hangē ko e ʻakau taʻehanolau ʻi he toafa.
7For, because you trusted in your works and your treasures, you also shall be taken; and Chemosh shall go into exile with his priests and his officials.
7“He koeʻuhi kuo ke falala ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, mo hoʻo ngaahi koloa, ʻe lavaʻi ai foki koe: pea ʻe ʻalu ki he fakapōpula ʻa Kimosi, mo ʻene kau taulaʻeiki mo hono houʻeiki fakataha.
8The destroyer shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape; the valley shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.
8Pea ʻe hoko ʻae tangata maumau ki he kolo kotoa pē, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hao ha kolo ʻe taha: ʻe malaʻia ʻae teleʻa, pea ʻe fakaʻauha mo e toafa, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.
9“Give wings to Moab, for she would fly away; her cities shall become a desolation, with no inhabitant in them.
9Foaki ʻae kapakau ki Moape, koeʻuhi ke ne hola ʻo ʻalu: he kuo lala hono ngaahi kolo, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke nofo ai.”
10“Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD with slackness, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed.
10“ʻE malaʻia ia ʻoku ne fai ʻae ngāue ʻa Sihova ʻi he kākā, pea ʻe malaʻia ia ʻoku taʻofi ʻene heletā mei he toto.
11“Moab has been at ease from his youth and has settled on his dregs; he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into exile; so his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
11“Kuo fakafiemālie ʻa Moape talu ʻene kei siʻi, pea kuo toka hifo ki hono takele, pea naʻe ʻikai fakatafe mei he ipu ki he ipu, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻave ia ki he fakapōpula: ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻiate ia hono ifo, pea ʻoku ʻikai fakakehe hono nanamu.
12“Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I shall send to him pourers who will pour him, and empty his vessels and break his jars in pieces.
12Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia te u fekau ai ʻae kau fakahē, pea te nau fakahēʻi ia, pea fakatafe ʻene ngaahi ipu, pea maumau ʻenau ngaahi hina.
13Then Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
13Pea ʻe mā ʻa Moape ia Kimosi, ʻo hangē ko e mā ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli ki Peteli ko honau falalaʻanga.
14“How do you say, ‘We are heroes and mighty men of war’?
14“Pea ʻoku fēfē hoʻomou lea pehē, ‘ʻOku mau mālohi ko e kau tangata mālohi ki he tau?’
15The destroyer of Moab and his cities has come up, and the choicest of his young men have gone down to slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
15Kuo maumau ʻa Moape, pea kuo ʻalu hake ia ʻi hono ngaahi kolo, pea kuo ʻalu hifo ki he tāmateʻi ʻa hono kau talavou kuo fili,” ʻoku pehē, ʻe he tuʻi, ʻaia ko hono huafa ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
16The calamity of Moab is near at hand, and his affliction hastens swiftly.
16“Kuo ofi ʻene hoko mai ʻae tuʻutāmaki ʻa Moape, pea ʻoku fakatoʻotoʻo mai ʻa hono mamahi.
17Grieve for him, all you who are around him, and all who know his name; say, ‘How the mighty scepter is broken, the glorious staff.’
17Ko kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku nonofo mo ia, mou mamahi koeʻuhi ko ia, pea ko kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻilo hono hingoa, mou pehē, ‘ʻOiauē! ʻAe fesiʻi ʻae tokotoko mālohi, pea mo e vaʻa matamatalelei!’
18“Come down from your glory, and sit on the parched ground, O inhabitant of Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you; he has destroyed your strongholds.
18“Ke ke ʻalu hifo mei ho nāunau, pea nofo fieinua, ʻa koe ko e ʻofefine ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi Tiponi; he kuo hoko kiate koe ʻae maumau ʻo Moape, pea te ne fakaʻauha hoʻo ngaahi potu mālohi.
19Stand by the way and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer! Ask him who flees and her who escapes; say, ‘What has happened?’
19ʻA koe ʻoku ke nofo ʻi ʻAloeli, Ke ke tuʻu ʻi he veʻehala mo leʻo; pea fehuʻi kiate ia ʻoku hola, pea mo ia ʻoku hao, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻae meʻa kuo fai?’
20Moab is put to shame, for it is broken; wail and cry! Tell it beside the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
20Kuo veuveuki ʻa Moape; he kuo holoki hifo ia: mou tangilāulau pea tangi lahi, mou fakahā ia ʻi ʻAlanoni, kuo maumauʻi ʻa Moape.
21“Judgment has come upon the tableland, upon Holon, and Jahzah, and Mephaath,
21Kuo hoko ʻae tautea ki he fonua tokalelei; ki Holoni, mo Sehasa, pea mo Mefata.
22and Dibon, and Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,
22Pea mo Tiponi, mo Nipo, pea mo Petetipilateimi,
23and Kiriathaim, and Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,
23Pea mo Kiliateimi, mo Petekamuli, pea mo Petemioni,
24and Kerioth, and Bozrah, and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.
24Pea mo Kiliote, mo Posila, pea ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ʻo Moape, pe ko e mamaʻo pe ko e ofi.
25The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, declares the LORD.
25Kuo tuʻusi ʻae nifo ʻo Moape, pea kuo fesiʻi hono nima, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
26“Make him drunk, because he magnified himself against the LORD, so that Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he too shall be held in derision.
26“Mou fakakona ia: he kuo ne fakahikihiki ʻe ia ia kia Sihova: ʻe fetafokifokiʻaki foki ʻa Moape ʻi heʻene lua, pea ʻe hoko ia foki ko e manukiʻanga.
27Was not Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves, that whenever you spoke of him you wagged your head?
27ʻIkai naʻe hoko ʻa ʻIsileli ko e manukiʻanga kiate koe? Naʻe ʻilo ia mo e kau kaihaʻa? Koeʻuhi talu hoʻo lea ki ai, mo hoʻo hopohopo ʻi he fiefia.
28“Leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, O inhabitants of Moab! Be like the dove that nests in the sides of the mouth of a gorge.
28Ko kimoutolu ʻoku nofo ʻi Moape, liʻaki ʻae ngaahi kolo, pea nofo ʻi he potu maka, pea mou hangē ko e lupe ʻoku ngaohi hono pununga ʻi he ngutu ʻoe luo.
29We have heard of the pride of Moab— he is very proud— of his loftiness, his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
29“Kuo tau fanongo ki he fielahi ʻa Moape, (ʻoku fakamanavahē ʻene fielahi) ko ʻene angahiki, mo e fieʻeiki, mo e fakamofutofuta, pea mo e laukau ʻo hono loto.
30I know his insolence, declares the LORD; his boasts are false, his deeds are false.
30Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻene ʻita ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne faʻa fai; ʻe ʻikai te ne lavaʻi ʻi heʻene ngaahi loi.
31Therefore I wail for Moab; I cry out for all Moab; for the men of Kir-hareseth I mourn.
31Ko ia te u tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko Moape, ʻio, te u tangi koeʻuhi ko Moape, kotoa pē; Te u mamahi koeʻuhi ko e kau tangata ʻo Kilihelesi.
32More than for Jazer I weep for you, O vine of Sibmah! Your branches passed over the sea, reached to the Sea of Jazer; on your summer fruits and your grapes the destroyer has fallen.
32ʻE vaine ʻo Sipima, te u tangi ʻaki ʻae tangi ʻo Sesa koeʻuhi ko koe: kuo ʻave ho huli ki tahi, ʻo aʻu ki he tahi ʻo Sesa: kuo hoko ʻae maumau ki ho ngaahi fua momoho, pea ki he fua ʻoe vaine.
33Gladness and joy have been taken away from the fruitful land of Moab; I have made the wine cease from the winepresses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; the shouting is not the shout of joy.
33Pea kuo mole ʻae fiefia mo e nekeneka mei he ngoue mahu, pea mei he fonua ʻo Moape; pea kuo u fakangata ʻae uaine ʻi he tataʻoʻanga uaine: ʻe ʻikai fai ha malamalaki ʻaki ʻae kalanga; ʻoku ʻikai ko e kalanga ʻenau kalanga.
34“From the outcry at Heshbon even to Elealeh, as far as Jahaz they utter their voice, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah. For the waters of Nimrim also have become desolate.
34ʻOku ongoʻi ʻae tangi mei Hesiponi ki ʻIliale, pea kuo ongo atu honau leʻo ʻo aʻu ki Sehasi, mei Soa ʻo aʻu ki Holonaimi, ʻo hangē ko e pulu mui kuo tolu taʻu ʻa ʻene motuʻa: koeʻuhi ʻe liakiʻi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo Nimilimi.”
35And I will bring to an end in Moab, declares the LORD, him who offers sacrifice in the high place and makes offerings to his god.
35Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Te u fakangata ʻi Moape, ʻaia ʻoku ne fai ʻae feilaulau ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea mo ia ʻoku tutu meʻa namu kakala ki hono ngaahi ʻotua.
36Therefore my heart moans for Moab like a flute, and my heart moans like a flute for the men of Kir-hareseth. Therefore the riches they gained have perished.
36Ko ia ʻe tangi hoku loto ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fangufangu koeʻuhi ko Moape, pea ʻe tangi hoku loto ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fangufangu koeʻuhi ko e kau tangata ʻo Kilihelesi: koeʻuhi kuo ʻauha ʻae ngaahi koloa kuo ne maʻu.
37“For every head is shaved and every beard cut off. On all the hands are gashes, and around the waist is sackcloth.
37Koeʻuhi ʻe tula ʻae ʻulu kotoa pē, pea ʻe kosi ʻae kava kotoa pē: pea ʻe ʻi he nima kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi tafa, pea mo e tauangaʻa ki he kongaloto.
38On all the housetops of Moab and in the squares there is nothing but lamentation, for I have broken Moab like a vessel for which no one cares, declares the LORD.
38ʻE ai ʻae tangilāulau lahi, ʻi he funga ʻoe ngaahi fale kotoa pē ʻo Moape, pea ʻi hono ngaahi hala: he kuo u maumauʻi ʻa Moape ʻo hangē ko e ipu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai fiefia ki ai ha tokotaha,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
39How it is broken! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! So Moab has become a derision and a horror to all that are around him.”
39Te nau tangi lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOiauē hono maumauʻi hifo ia! ʻOiauē ʻae fulituʻa mai ʻa Moape ʻi heʻene mā! ʻE hoko ʻa Moape ko e manukiʻanga, pea mo e meʻa fakailifia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai ia.”
40For thus says the LORD: “Behold, one shall fly swiftly like an eagle and spread his wings against Moab;
40He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; Vakai, te ne puna ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale, pea te ne mafao atu hono kapakau ki Moape.
41the cities shall be taken and the strongholds seized. The heart of the warriors of Moab shall be in that day like the heart of a woman in her birth pains;
41Kuo kapa ʻa Kiliote, pea kuo ilifia ai ʻae ngaahi potu mālohi, pea ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae loto ʻoe kau tangata mālohi ʻi Moape ʻo hangē ko e loto ʻoe fefine kuo langā.
42Moab shall be destroyed and be no longer a people, because he magnified himself against the LORD.
42Pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Moape, koeʻuhi ko e fakahikihiki ia kia Sihova.
43Terror, pit, and snare are before you, O inhabitant of Moab! declares the LORD.
43ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Moape, ʻe ʻiate koe ʻae ilifia, mo e luo, pea mo e tauhele.
44He who flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he who climbs out of the pit shall be caught in the snare. For I will bring these things upon Moab, the year of their punishment, declares the LORD.
44ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko ia ʻoku hola ʻi he manavahē te ne tō ki he luo; pea ko ia ʻe hao mei he luo ʻe moʻua ia ʻi he tauhele: he te u ʻomi kiate ia, ʻio, ki Moape, ʻae taʻu ʻo honau ʻaʻahi.
45“In the shadow of Heshbon fugitives stop without strength, for fire came out from Heshbon, flame from the house of Sihon; it has destroyed the forehead of Moab, the crown of the sons of tumult.
45“Naʻe tuʻu ʻi he malumalu ʻo Hesiponi ʻakinautolu naʻe hola ko e meʻa ʻi he mālohi: ka ʻe ʻalu atu ʻae afi mei Hesiponi, pea mo e ulo afi mei he loto Sihoni, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ai ʻae tuliki ʻo Moape, pea mo e tumuʻaki ʻoe ngaahi fonua fakamaveuveu.
46Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone, for your sons have been taken captive, and your daughters into captivity.
46ʻE Moape, ʻe malaʻia ʻa koe! ʻoku malaʻia ʻae kakai ʻo Kimosi: he kuo ʻave fakapōpula ʻa ho ngaahi foha, pea kuo ʻalu foki ʻa ho ngaahi ʻofefine ki he fakapōpula.
47Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab in the latter days, declares the LORD.” Thus far is the judgment on Moab.
47Ka ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Te u liliu ʻae fakapōpula ʻo Moape, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui.” Ko eni ʻae fakamaau ʻo Moape.
