< Deuteronomy 28 >

1 Now if you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep with care all these orders which I have given you today, then the Lord your God will put you high over all the nations of the earth:
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “Kapau te ke tokanga lelei ki he fono ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tokanga mo fai ʻene ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekauʻi koe he ʻaho ni, ʻe hiki koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ke māʻolunga lahi koe ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani:
2 And all these blessings will come on you and overtake you, if your ears are open to the voice of the Lord your God.
Pea ʻe hoko kiate koe ʻae ngaahi tāpuaki ni kotoa pē, ʻo fetaʻomi kiate koe, ʻo kapau te ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
3 A blessing will be on you in the town, and a blessing in the field.
‌ʻE monūʻia koe ʻi he kolo, pea ʻe monūʻia koe ʻi he ngoue.
4 A blessing will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herd, and the young of your flock.
‌ʻE monūʻia ʻae fua ʻo ho sino, mo e fua ʻo hoʻo ngoue, mo e fua ʻo hoʻo fanga manu, mo hono tupu ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, mo hoʻo ngaahi fanga sipi.
5 A blessing will be on your basket and on your bread-basin.
‌ʻE monūʻia hoʻo kato mo ho feleoko.
6 A blessing will be on your coming in and on your going out.
Te ke monūʻia koe ʻi hoʻo hū mai, pea monūʻia ʻi hoʻo ʻalu kituaʻā.
7 By the power of the Lord, those who take arms against you will be overcome before you: they will come out against you one way, and will go in flight from you seven ways.
‌ʻE pule ʻE Sihova ke teʻia ʻi ho ʻao ʻa ho ngaahi fili ʻoku tuʻu hake kiate koe: tenau haʻu kiate koe ʻi he hala ʻe taha, pea hola meiate koe ʻi he hala ʻe fitu.
8 The Lord will send his blessing on your store-houses and on everything to which you put your hand: his blessing will be on you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
‌ʻE fekau ʻe Sihova ʻene tāpuaki kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi fale faʻoʻanga koloa, pea ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻai ho nima ki ai; pea te ne tāpuaki koe ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
9 The Lord will keep you as a people holy to himself, as he has said to you in his oath, if you keep the orders of the Lord your God and go on walking in his ways.
‌ʻE fokotuʻumaʻu koe ʻe Sihova ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fuakava kiate koe, ʻo kapau te ke tauhi ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala.
10 And all the peoples of the earth will see that the name of the Lord is on you, and they will go in fear of you.
Pea ʻe mamata ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani, kuo ui koe ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova; pea tenau manavahē kiate koe.
11 And the Lord will make you fertile in every good thing, in the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your fields, in the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, said he would give you.
Pea ʻe ngaohi koe ʻe Sihova ke lahi hoʻo lelei, ʻi he ngaahi fua ʻo ho sino, pea ʻi he fua ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, pea ʻi he ngaahi fua ʻo ho fonua, ʻi he fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻa Sihova ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate koe.
12 Opening his store-house in heaven, the Lord will send rain on your land at the right time, blessing all the work of your hands: other nations will make use of your wealth, and you will have no need of theirs.
‌ʻE toʻo kiate koe ʻa Sihova ʻa ʻene koloa lelei, ʻae langi ke foaki mai ʻae ʻuha ki ho fonua ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu totonu, pea ke tāpuaki ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima: pea te ke nō atu koe ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke nō mai.
13 The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; and you will ever have the highest place, if you give ear to the orders of the Lord your God which I give you today, to keep and to do them;
Pea ʻe ngaohi koe ʻe Sihova ko e ʻulu, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e hiku; pea te ke māʻolunga pe ʻa koe, kae ʻikai te ke māʻulalo; ʻo kapau te ke tokanga ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ke tokanga ki ai ʻo fai:
14 Not turning away from any of the orders which I give you today, to the right hand or to the left, or going after any other gods to give them worship.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke afe mei ha lea ʻe taha ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pe ki he toʻohema, ke muimui ʻi ha ngaahi ʻotua kehe ke tauhi ʻakinautolu.
15 But if you do not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to do all his orders and his laws which I give you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you:
Kae hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻO kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tokanga ʻo fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau kotoa pē mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni; ʻe hoko ai ʻae ngaahi malaʻia ni kiate koe ʻo ne fetaʻomi kiate koe:
16 You will be cursed in the town and cursed in the field.
Te ke malaʻia koe ʻi he kolo, pea malaʻia koe ʻi he ngoue.
17 A curse will be on your basket and on your bread-basin.
Te ke malaʻia koe ʻi hoʻo kato, pea ʻi ho feleoko.
18 A curse will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
‌ʻE malaʻia ʻae fua ʻo ho sino, mo e fua ʻo ho fonua, mo e tupu ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, mo e fanga sipi.
19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
‌ʻE malaʻia koe ʻi hoʻo hū mai, pea malaʻia koe ʻoka ke ka ʻalu kituaʻā.
20 The Lord will send on you cursing and trouble and punishment in everything to which you put your hand, till sudden destruction overtakes you; because of your evil ways in which you have been false to me.
‌ʻE fekau ʻe Sihova kiate koe ʻae malaʻia, mo e mamahi, mo e tautea, ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻai ho nima ki ai ke fai, ka ke ʻauha koe, pea ke mole ʻo ʻosi vave; ko e meʻa ʻi he kovi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, ʻaia kuo ke liʻaki ai au.
21 The Lord will send disease after disease on you, till you have been cut off by death from the land to which you are going.
‌ʻE fakapikimaʻu kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha, ke ne fakaʻauha ai koe mei he funga ʻoe fonua, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu.
22 The Lord will send wasting disease, and burning pain, and flaming heat against you, keeping back the rain till your land is waste and dead; so will it be till your destruction is complete.
‌ʻE taaʻi koe ʻe Sihova ʻaki ʻae fakaʻauʻausino, pea mo e mofi, pea mo e hangatāmaki, pea mo e vela lahi ʻaupito, pea mo e heletā, pea mo e mahunu, mo e popo; pea tenau tuli koe ke ke ʻauha ai.
23 And the heaven over your heads will be brass, and the earth under you hard as iron.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻae langi ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga ʻi ho ʻulu ko e palasa, pea ko e kelekele ʻoku ʻi lalo ʻiate koe ʻe hoko ko e ukamea.
24 The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust, sending it down on you from heaven till your destruction is complete.
‌ʻE ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuha ʻo ho fonua ko e efu mo e efuefu: ʻe ʻalu hifo ia mei langi kiate koe ke ke ʻauha ai.
25 The Lord will let you be overcome by your haters: you will go out against them one way, and you will go in flight before them seven ways: you will be the cause of fear among all the kingdoms of the earth.
‌ʻE pule ʻe Sihova ke taaʻi koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho ngaahi fili: ke ke ʻalu kituaʻā koe ʻi he hala ʻe taha kiate kinautolu, pea te ke hola ʻi he hala ʻe fitu mei honau ʻao: pea ʻe fetuku koe ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
26 Your bodies will be meat for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth; there will be no one to send them away.
Pea ʻe hoko ho ʻangaʻanga ko e meʻakai ia ki he fanga puna ʻoe ʻatā, pea ki he fanga manu ʻoe fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai fakaseʻeseʻe ʻakinautolu ʻe ha tokotaha.
27 The Lord will send on you the disease of Egypt, and other sorts of skin diseases which nothing will make well.
Pea ʻe taaʻi koe ʻe Sihova ʻaki ʻae pala ʻo ʻIsipite, mo e mahaki kovi, mo e poku, mo e veli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakamoʻui koe mei ai.
28 He will make your minds diseased, and your eyes blind, and your hearts wasted with fear:
‌ʻE taaʻi ʻaki koe ʻe Sihova ʻae faha, mo e kui, mo e lilika ʻoe loto:
29 You will go feeling your way when the sun is high, like a blind man for whom all is dark, and nothing will go well for you: you will be crushed and made poor for ever, and you will have no saviour.
Pea te ke tautaufā ʻi he hoʻatā, ʻo hangē ko e kui ʻoku tautaufā ʻi he poʻuli, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke monūʻia ʻi ho ngaahi hala: pea ʻe fakamoʻulaloa maʻuaipē koe mo maumauʻi ai pe, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui koe ʻe ha tokotaha:
30 You will take a wife, but another man will have the use of her: the house which your hands have made will never be your resting-place: you will make a vine-garden, and never take the fruit of it.
Te ke poloʻi ho uaifi pea ʻe mohe ia mo e tangata kehe: te ke langa ha fale, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke nofo ki ai: te ke tō ʻae ngoue vaine, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu hono ngaahi fua.
31 Your ox will be put to death before your eyes, but its flesh will not be your food: your ass will be violently taken away before your face, and will not be given back to you: your sheep will be given to your haters, and there will be no saviour for you.
‌ʻE tāmateʻi hoʻo pulu ʻi ho ʻao, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke kai ia: ʻe toʻo ʻo ʻave fakamālohi pe ʻa hoʻo ʻasi mei ho ʻao, pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻomi kiate koe: ʻe foaki ʻa hoʻo fanga sipi ki ho ngaahi fili, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻiate koe ha tokotaha ke toe maʻu mai ia.
32 Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people, and your eyes will be wasted away with looking and weeping for them all the day: and you will have no power to do anything.
Ko ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine ʻe foaki ki he kakai kehe, pea ʻe fakasio ho mata, pea mole ʻi he holi kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa: pea ʻe ʻikai ha mafai ʻi ho nima.
33 The fruit of your land and all the work of your hands will be food for a nation which is strange to you and to your fathers; you will only be crushed down and kept under for ever:
Ko e fua ʻo ho fonua, mo hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē, ʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ia ʻe ha puleʻanga ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻiloa; pea ʻe fakamoʻulaloaʻi koe mo taʻomia maʻuaipē.
34 So that the things which your eyes have to see will send you out of your minds.
Ko ia te ke faha ai ʻi he mamata ʻe ho mata ʻaia te ke mamata ki ai.
35 The Lord will send a skin disease, attacking your knees and your legs, bursting out from your feet to the top of your head, so that nothing will make you well.
‌ʻE taaʻi koe ʻe Sihova ʻi ho tui, pea ʻi ho vaʻe, ʻaki ʻae pala ʻaia ʻe ʻikai faʻa fakamoʻui, mei ho ʻaofi vaʻe ʻo aʻu ki ho tumuʻaki.
36 And you, and the king whom you have put over you, will the Lord take away to a nation strange to you and to your fathers; there you will be servants to other gods of wood and stone.
‌ʻE ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova mo e tuʻi ʻaia te ke fakanofo ke pule kiate koe, ki he puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻe koe, pe ko hoʻo ngaahi tamai; pea te ke tauhi ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ko e ʻakau mo e maka.
37 And you will become a wonder and a name of shame among all the nations where the Lord will take you.
Pea te ke hoko koe ko e ofoʻanga, mo e lauʻikoviʻanga, mo e lumaʻanga, ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻaia ʻe tataki koe ki ai ʻe Sihova.
38 You will take much seed out into the field, and get little in; for the locust will get it.
Te ke fetuku ʻae tenga lahi ki he ngoue, ka ke ʻomi ʻae meʻa siʻi mei ai; koeʻuhi ʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ia ʻe he heʻe.
39 You will put in vines and take care of them, but you will get no wine or grapes from them; for they will be food for worms.
Te ke tō ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine, pea ʻauhani ia, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke inu hono uaine, pe tānaki hono fua, koeʻuhi ʻe kai ia ʻe he ʻunufe.
40 Your land will be full of olive-trees, but there will be no oil for the comfort of your body; for your olive-tree will give no fruit.
Te ke maʻu ʻae ʻakau ko e ʻolive ʻi he ngaahi potu fonua kotoa pē, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke pani ʻaki koe ʻae lolo; koeʻuhi ʻe lī hono fua ʻe hoʻo ʻolive.
41 You will have sons and daughters, but they will not be yours; for they will go away prisoners into a strange land.
‌ʻE tupu ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu ha fiemālie ʻiate kinautolu; he tenau ʻalu ʻo nofo pōpula.
42 All your trees and the fruit of your land will be the locust's.
Ko ho ngaahi ʻakau kotoa pē mo e fua ʻo ho fonua ʻe fakaʻosi ia ʻe he heʻe.
43 The man from a strange land who is living among you will be lifted up higher and higher over you, while you go down lower and lower.
Ko e muli ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻe hiki māʻolunga lahi ʻiate koe; pea ʻe fakahifo koe ke māʻulalo ʻaupito.
44 He will let you have his wealth at interest, and will have no need of yours: he will be the head and you the tail.
‌ʻE nō atu ʻe ia kiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke nō kiate ia: ʻe hoko ko e ʻulu ia pea ko e hiku koe.
45 And all these curses will come after you and overtake you, till your destruction is complete; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, or keep his laws and his orders which he gave you:
Pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi malaʻia ni ʻe hoko kiate koe, tenau tuli koe, pea maʻu koe, kaeʻoua ke ʻauha koe; ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia naʻa ne fekauʻi koe:
46 These things will come on you and on your seed, to be a sign and a wonder for ever;
Pea tenau ʻiate koe, ko e fakaʻilonga, mo e meʻa fakaofo, pea ki ho hako ʻo taʻengata.
47 Because you did not give honour to the Lord your God, worshipping him gladly, with joy in your hearts on account of all your wealth of good things;
Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke tauhi ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he angatonu mo e fiefia ʻoe loto, koeʻuhi ko e mahu meʻa lelei kotoa pē;
48 For this cause you will become servants to those whom the Lord your God will send against you, without food and drink and clothing, and in need of all things: and he will put a yoke of iron on your neck till he has put an end to you.
Ko ia te ke tauhi ai ʻa ho ngaahi fili ʻaia ʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ke tuʻu hake kiate koe, ʻi he fiekaia, mo e fieinu, pea ʻi he telefua, pea ʻi he masiva ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē: pea te ne ʻai ʻae haʻamonga ukamea ki ho kia, koeʻuhi ke ne fakaʻauha koe.
49 The Lord will send a nation against you from the farthest ends of the earth, coming with the flight of an eagle; a nation whose language is strange to you;
‌ʻE ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae puleʻanga kiate koe mei he mamaʻo, mei he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻo hangē ko e puna ʻae ʻikale; ʻae puleʻanga ko e lea ʻanautolu ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻiloʻi;
50 A hard-faced nation, who will have no respect for the old or mercy for the young:
Ko e puleʻanga ʻoku mata mālohi, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai tenau tokanga ki he sino ʻoe motuʻa, pe fakahā ha ʻofa ki he talavou:
51 He will take the fruit of your cattle and of your land till death puts an end to you: he will let you have nothing of your grain or wine or oil or any of the increase of your cattle or the young of your flock, till he has made your destruction complete.
Pea ʻe kai ʻe ia hono tupu ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lahi, mo e fua ʻo ho fonua, ke ʻoua ke ke ʻauha koe: ʻaia foki ʻe ʻikai tenau tuku kiate koe ha uite, pe ha uaine, pe ha lolo, pe ko e tupu ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, pe ha fanga sipi, kaeʻoua ke ne fakaʻauha koe.
52 Your towns will be shut in by his armies, till your high walls, in which you put your faith, have come down: his armies will be round your towns, through all your land which the Lord your God has given you.
Pea te ne tauʻi koe ʻi ho ngaahi matapā kotoa pē, ke holoki hifo ʻa ho ngaahi ā māʻolunga mo tali tau, ʻaia ʻoku ke falala ki ai, ʻi ho fonua kotoa pē: pea te ne tauʻi koe ʻi he ngaahi matapā kotoa pē ʻi he potu fonua kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
53 And your food will be the fruit of your body, the flesh of the sons and daughters which the Lord your God has given you; because of your bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters.
Pea te ke kai ʻae fua ʻo ho sino ʻoʻou, ko e kakano ʻo ho ngaahi foha pea mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻaia kuo foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e meʻa ʻi he tau, pea ʻi he kāpui koe ʻe hoʻo ngaahi fili ʻaia tenau fakamamahiʻi ai koe.
54 That man among you who is soft and used to comfort will be hard and cruel to his brother, and to his dear wife, and to of those his children who are still living;
Ko e tangata ʻiate kimoutolu ʻaia ʻoku vaivai pea mamahi ngofua, ʻe kovi hono mata ki hono tokoua, pea ki he uaifi ʻo hono fatafata, pea ki hono toe ʻo ʻene fānau ʻaia ʻe liʻaki:
55 And will not give to any of them the flesh of his children which will be his food because he has no other; in the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.
Ko ia ʻe ʻikai ʻatu ai ʻe ia ki ha tokotaha ha konga siʻi ʻoe kakano ʻo ʻene fānau ʻaia ʻoku ne kai: koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku toe kiate ia ʻi he tau, mo e fakahonge, ʻaia ʻe fakamamahi ʻaki koe ʻe ho ngaahi fili ʻi ho ngaahi matapā.
56 The most soft and delicate of your women, who would not so much as put her foot on the earth, so delicate is she, will be hard-hearted to her husband and to her son and to her daughter;
Ko e fefine vaivai mo mamahi ngofua ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai meimei tuku hono ʻaofivaʻe ki he kelekele koeʻuhi ko e vaivai mo e mamahi ngofua, ʻe kovi hono mata ki he husepāniti ʻo hono fatafata, pea ki heʻene tama, pea ki heʻene taʻahine,
57 And to her baby newly come to birth, and to the children of her body; for having no other food, she will make a meal of them secretly, because of her bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.
Pea ki he tamasiʻi ʻoku haʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo hono vaʻe, pea ki heʻene fānau te ne fanauʻi: he te ne kai fakafufū ia ʻi heʻene masiva ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he tau mo e fakahonge, ʻaia ʻe fakamamahi ʻaki koe, ʻe ho fili ʻi ho ngaahi matapā.
58 If you will not take care to do all the words of this law, recorded in this book, honouring that name of glory and of fear, THE LORD YOUR GOD;
Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke tokanga ke fai ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ni, koeʻuhi ke ke manavahē ki he huafa nāunauʻia mo fakamanavahē ni, KO SIHOVA KO HO ʻOTUA;
59 Then the Lord your God will make your punishment, and the punishment of your seed, a thing to be wondered at; great punishments and cruel diseases stretching on through long years.
Pehē ʻe toki ngaohi ʻe Sihova hoʻo ngaahi tautea ke fakamanavahē, pea mo e tautea ki ho hako, ʻio, ko e tautea lahi, ʻo fuoloa, mo e ngaahi mahaki lahi, pea fai fuoloa.
60 He will send on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which were a cause of fear to you, and they will take you in their grip.
Kaeʻumaʻā foki ʻa ʻene ʻomi kiate koe ʻae ngaahi mahaki ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa ke manavahē ai; pea tenau piki mau kiate koe.
61 And all the diseases and the pains not recorded in the book of this law will the Lord send on you till your destruction is complete.
Pea mo e ngaahi mahaki kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi tautea kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ni, ʻe ʻomi ia ʻe Sihova kiate koe, kaeʻoua ke ke ʻauha koe.
62 And you will become a very small band, though your numbers were like the stars of heaven; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.
Pea ʻe tuku ʻakimoutolu ke mou toe tokosiʻi pe, ka naʻa mou tatau mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi ʻi hono tokolahi: ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke fai talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
63 And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and increasing you, so the Lord will take pleasure in cutting you off and causing your destruction, and you will be uprooted from the land which you are about to take as your heritage.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hangē naʻe fiefia ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu ke fai lelei kiate kimoutolu, pea ke fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu: ʻe pehē, ʻe fiefia ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu ke fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu, pea ke fakaʻosi ʻakimoutolu; pea ʻe hamusi ʻakimoutolu, mei he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu ia.
64 And the Lord will send you wandering among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other: there you will be servants to other gods, of wood and stone, gods of which you and your fathers had no knowledge.
Pea ʻe fakahēʻi koe ʻe Sihova ki he kakai kotoa pē, mei he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo māmani ʻo aʻu atu ki hono ngataʻanga ʻe taha; pea te ke tauhi ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻe koe, pe ko hoʻo ngaahi tamai, ʻio ʻae ʻakau mo e maka.
65 And even among these nations there will be no peace for you, and no rest for your feet: but the Lord will give you there a shaking heart and wasting eyes and weariness of soul:
Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae fiemālie ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ha mālōlō ki ho ʻaofivaʻe: ka ʻe tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻae loto tetetete ʻi ai, mo e vaivai ʻoe mata, mo e mamahi ʻoe loto:
66 Your very life will be hanging in doubt before you, and day and night will be dark with fears, and nothing in life will be certain:
Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo pe te ke moʻui pe te ke mate; pea te ke mamahi ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu fakamoʻoni ki hoʻo moʻui:
67 In the morning you will say, If only it was evening! And at evening you will say, If only morning would come! Because of the fear in your hearts and the things which your eyes will see.
Te ke pehē ʻi he pongipongi, ʻAmusiaange kuo efiafi! pea ʻi he efiafi te ke pehē, ʻAmusiaange kuo pongipongi! Ko e meʻa ʻi he manavahē ʻo ho loto, ʻaia te ke manavahē ai, pea ʻi he mamata ʻe ho mata ʻaia te ke mamata ki ai.
68 And the Lord will take you back to Egypt again in ships, by the way of which I said to you, You will never see it again: there you will be offering yourselves as men-servants and women-servants to your haters for a price, and no man will take you.
Pea ʻe toe ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsipite ʻi he ngaahi vaka, ʻi he hala ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai kiate koe, ʻE ʻikai te ke toe mamata ki ai: pea ʻe fakatau ʻakimoutolu ʻi ai ki homou ngaahi fili ko e kau tangata pōpula mo e kau fefine pōpula; pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne fie fakatau [ʻakimoutolu].”
