Sakalaia 8
1And the word of the LORD of hosts came, saying,
1NAʻE toe hoko foki kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻo pehē,
2“Thus says the LORD of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.
2“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; naʻaku fuaʻa koeʻuhi ko Saione ʻi he fuaʻa lahi, pea naʻaku fuaʻa koeʻuhi ko ia, pea u houhau lahi.”
3Thus says the LORD: I have returned to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts, the holy mountain.
3ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Kuo u foki mai ki Saione, pea te u nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo Selūsalema: pea ʻe ui ʻa Selūsalema, ko e kolo ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae moʻoni; pea ko e moʻunga ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e moʻunga māʻoniʻoni.”
4Thus says the LORD of hosts: Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each with staff in hand because of great age.
4ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “ʻE toe nofo ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema ʻae kakai mātuʻa mo e kau finemātuʻa, pea ʻe taki taha toʻo ha tokotoko ʻi hono nima koeʻuhi ko ʻenau motuʻa ʻaupito.
5And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.
5Pea ʻe fonu ʻae hala ʻoe kolo ʻi he tamaiki tangata, mo e tamaiki fefine, ʻoku fakavā ʻi hono ngaahi hala ʻo ia.”
6Thus says the LORD of hosts: If it is marvelous in the sight of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my sight, declares the LORD of hosts?
6ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “Kapau kuo faingataʻa ʻeni ki he mata ʻoe toenga kakai ni, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko eni, pea ʻe faingataʻa ia foki ʻi hoku ʻao ʻoʻoku? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
7Thus says the LORD of hosts: behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country,
7ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “Vakai, te u fakamoʻui ʻa hoku kakai mei he fonua hahake, pea mei he fonua ʻi lulunga;
8and I will bring them to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in faithfulness and in righteousness.”
8Pea te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu, pea te nau nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo Selūsalema; pea ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu, pea ko honau ʻOtua au, ʻi he moʻoni mo e māʻoniʻoni.”
9Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Let your hands be strong, you who in these days have been hearing these words from the mouth of the prophets who were present on the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
9ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “Ke mālohi homou nima, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fanongo ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ni, ki he ngaahi lea ni, mei he ngutu ʻoe kau palōfita, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe tō ai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, koeʻuhi kae langa ʻae fale tapu.
10For before those days there was no wage for man or any wage for beast, neither was there any safety from the foe for him who went out or came in, for I set every man against his neighbor.
10He naʻe teʻeki ke hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe ʻikai ha ngāue ʻoku fai ʻe ha tangata, pe ha ngāue ke fai ʻe ha manu; pea ko e meʻa ʻi he mamahi, naʻe ʻikai fiemālie ha taha naʻe ʻalu atu, pe hū mai; he naʻaku fakafehiʻa ʻae tangata taki taha kotoa pē ki hono kaungāʻapi.
11But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as in the former days, declares the LORD of hosts.
11Ka ko eni,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻE ʻikai te u hangē eni ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa ange ki he toenga kakai.
12For there shall be a sowing of peace. The vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew. And I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
12Koeʻuhi ʻe monūʻia ʻae hako: ʻe tuku mai ʻe he vaine ʻa hono fua, pea ʻe ʻomi ʻe he kelekele ʻa hono tupu, pea ʻe foaki mei he langi ʻa hono hahau; pea te u pule ke maʻu ʻe he toenga kakai ni ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
13And as you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong.”
13Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hangē ko hoʻomou hoko ko e malaʻia, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni, ʻe fale ʻo Siuta, mo koe ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻe pehē pe ʻa ʻeku fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu, pea te mou hoko ko e monūʻia: ʻoua naʻa manavahē, ka ʻe tuku ke mālohi homou nima.”
14For thus says the LORD of hosts: “As I purposed to bring disaster to you when your fathers provoked me to wrath, and I did not relent, says the LORD of hosts,
14He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “Hangē naʻaku loto ke tautea ʻakimoutolu, ʻi he fakahouhauʻi au ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Pea naʻe ʻikai te u liliu mei ai:
15so again have I purposed in these days to bring good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; fear not.
15ʻOku pehē foki, kuo u loto ke fai lelei ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ni, ki Selūsalema, pea mo e fale ʻo Siuta: ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē.”
16These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace;
16“Ko eni ʻae ngaahi meʻa te mou fai; Mou taki taha lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ki homou kaungāʻapi; fai ʻae fakamaau ʻi he moʻoni, mo e melino ʻi homou ngaahi matapā.
17do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the LORD.”
17Pea ʻoua naʻa femahalokoviʻaki ʻi homou loto ki homou kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoua naʻa manako ki he fuakava loi; he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ngaahi meʻa ia ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki ai.”
18And the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,
18Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻo pehē,
19“Thus says the LORD of hosts: The fast of the fourth month and the fast of the fifth and the fast of the seventh and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Judah seasons of joy and gladness and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.
19“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; Ko e ʻaukai ʻi hono fā ʻoe māhina, mo e ʻaukai ʻi hono nima, mo e ʻaukai ʻi hono fitu, mo e ʻaukai ʻi hono hongofulu, ʻe hoko ia ko e fiefia, mo e nekeneka, mo e ngaahi kātoanga fakafiefia ki he fale ʻo Siuta; ko ia mou ʻofa ki he moʻoni, mo e melino.”
20“Thus says the LORD of hosts: Peoples shall yet come, even the inhabitants of many cities.
20ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “ʻE toe haʻu ha kakai mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo kehekehe:
21The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, ‘Let us go at once to entreat the favor of the LORD and to seek the LORD of hosts; I myself am going.’
21Pea ʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai ʻoe kolo ʻe taha ki he kolo ʻe taha, mo nau fepehēʻaki, ‘Ke tau ʻalu fakatoʻotoʻo ke lotu kia Sihova, pea ke kumi kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: te u ʻalu foki mo au.’
22Many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the LORD.
22ʻIo, ʻe haʻu ʻae kakai kehekehe mo e ngaahi puleʻanga mālohi ke kumi kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, pea ke lotu hū ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi Selūsalema.”
23Thus says the LORD of hosts: In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue shall take hold of the robe of a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
23ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ʻe puke atu ʻe he toko hongofulu mei he ngaahi lea kehekehe ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻio, te nau puke ʻae kapa ʻoe kofu ʻoe Siu mo nau pehē, Te tau ʻo mo koe: he kuo mau fanongo ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻOtua.”
