< Ezekiel 5 >

1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber’s razor, and cause [it] to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the [hair].
Pea ko koe, “Foha ʻoe tangata, toʻo kiate koe ha hele māsila, toʻo kiate koe ʻae tele ʻae tangata tele kava, pea ke tele ʻaki ia ho ʻulu mo hoʻo halakava: pea ke toki toʻo ʻae meʻa fakatatau ke fakamamafa mo vahevahe ʻae louʻulu.
2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, [and] smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
Te ke tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻa hono vahe ʻe taha ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kolo, ʻoka kakato ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono kāpui: pea te ke ʻave hono vahe ʻe taha mo ke taaʻi ia ʻaki ha hele: pea ke lī hono vahe ʻe taha ke vilingia ʻi he matangi; pea te u toho ha heletā mo tuli ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻi mui.
3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.
Pea te ke toʻo foki ha tuʻoni louʻulu siʻi, ʻo nonoʻo ia ʻi he kapa ʻo ho kofu.
4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; [for] thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
Pea toe toʻo ia, ʻo lī ki he loto afi, ke vela ʻi he loto afi; he ko ia ʻe hoko mei ai ʻae afi ki he fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli.”
5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [is] Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries [that are] round about her.
ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ko eni ʻa Selūsalema: kuo u fokotuʻu ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga mo e ngaahi fonua ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻi ai.
6 And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that [are] round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
Pea kuo ne liliu mei heʻeku māʻoniʻoni ke angahala lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea mei heʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻo lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi fonua ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia: he kuo nau liʻaki ʻeku māʻoniʻoni, mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau ʻo ʻikai te nau ʻaʻeva ai.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that [are] round about you, [and] have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that [are] round about you;
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, koeʻuhi kuo ke fakaʻaʻau ʻo tokolahi hake ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku takatakai ʻiate koe, ʻo ʻikai ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pe maʻu ʻeku māʻoniʻoni, pe fai ke hangē ko e māʻoniʻoni ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku takatakai ʻiate koe;
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, [am] against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, Vakai, ko au, ʻio, ko au, ʻoku tuʻu kiate koe, pea te u fai ʻae tautea kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga.
9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
Pea te u fai ʻiate koe ʻaia ʻoku teʻeki te u fai, pe te u toe fai ki mui hano tatau, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia.
10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
Ko ia ʻe kai ai ʻe he ngaahi tamai ʻa honau ngaahi foha ʻi loto ʻiate koe, pea kai ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻenau ngaahi tamai: pea te u fai ʻae fakamalaʻia ʻiate koe, pea ko e toenga ʻiate koe te u vilingia atu ki he feituʻu matangi kotoa pē.”
11 Wherefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish [thee; ] neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻOku ou moʻui, pea ko e moʻoni ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fakalielia ʻaki hoku fale tapu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakalielia mo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue ʻuli, ko ia te u fakaʻaʻau ai koe ki mui; pea ʻe ʻikai mamae hoku mata, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻiate au ha manavaʻofa.
12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
Ko e vahe ʻe taha ʻiate koe ʻe mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha, pea te nau ʻauha hongea ʻi loto ʻiate koe; pea ko ho vahe ʻe taha ʻe tō hifo takatakai ʻiate koe ʻi he heletā: pea ko hono vahe ʻe taha te u vilingia ki he feituʻu matangi kotoa pē, pea te u tuli ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae heletā.
13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken [it] in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
‌ʻE pehē ʻae hoko ʻa ʻeku houhau, pea te u tuku ʻa ʻeku houhau ke nofo kiate kinautolu, pea te u fiemālie ai: pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova kuo lea ʻaki eni ʻi heʻeku fakamoʻomoʻoni, ʻo kau ka fakaʻosi ʻeku tuputāmaki kiate kinautolu.
14 Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that [are] round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
Pea te u ngaohi foki koe ke lala pea ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku takatakai ʻiate koe, ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ange ʻiate koe.
15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that [are] round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken [it].
Ko ia ʻe hoko ai ia ko e manukiʻanga mo e taukaeʻanga, pea ko e ako mo e fakaofo ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai ʻiate koe, ʻo kau ka fai ʻae fakamalaʻia ʻiate koe ʻi he tuputāmaki mo e houhau mo e valoki kakaha. Ko au ko Sihova kuo u lea ʻaki eni.
16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for [their] destruction, [and] which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
‌ʻO kau ka fakahoko kiate kinautolu ʻae ngahau fakakona ʻoe honge, ʻaia ko e ʻauhaʻanga, ʻaia te u tuku atu ke fakaʻosi ʻakimoutolu: pea te u fakalahi ʻae honge kiate kimoutolu pea te u fesiʻi ʻae tokotoko ʻoe ma:
17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken [it].
‌ʻE pehē ʻeku fekau atu kiate kimoutolu ʻae honge mo e fanga manu fekai, pea te nau fakatokosiʻi ʻakimoutolu; pea ʻe ʻalu atu ʻiate koe ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha mo e toto; pea te u fakatō hifo kiate koe ʻae heletā, Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku lea ʻaki eni.”
