< Jeremiah 25 >

1 The word that has been to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah—it [is] the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—
Ko e lea naʻe haʻu kia Selemaia ʻoku kau ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻi hono fā ʻoe taʻu ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ko e ʻuluaki taʻu ia ʻo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone;
2 Which Jeremiah the prophet has spoken concerning all the people of Judah, even to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
‌ʻAia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Selemaia ko e palōfita ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo ne pehē,
3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, and to this day—this twenty-third year—the word of YHWH has been to me, and I speak to you, rising early and speaking, and you have not listened;
“Talu mei hono hongofulu ma tolu taʻu ʻo Siosaia, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmoni ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻaia ko hono uofulu ma tolu taʻu eni, kuo haʻu kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, pea kuo u lea ʻaki ia kiate kimoutolu, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻo lea; ka naʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo.
4 and YHWH has sent all His servants to you, the prophets, rising early and sending, and you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear, saying,
Pea kuo fekau ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻo fekau ʻakinautolu: ka kuo ʻikai te mou fanongo, pe fakatokanga homou telinga ke ongoʻi.
5 Please turn back, each from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell on the ground that YHWH has given to you and to your fathers from age to age,
Naʻa nau pehē, Mou taki taha tafoki mei hono hala kovi, pea mei he kovi ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi faianga, pea nofo ʻi he fonua kuo foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu pea mo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata:
6 and you do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow yourselves to them, nor do you provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands, and I do no evil to you;
Pea ʻoua ʻe muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻo tauhi ʻakinautolu, pe lotu kiate kinautolu, pea ʻoua naʻa mou fakahouhauʻi au ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa homou nima; pea ʻe ʻikai te u fai ha kovi kiate kimoutolu.
7 and you have not listened to Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “so as to provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands for evil to you.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou tokanga kiate au, koeʻuhi ʻoku mou fakahouhau kiate au ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻa homou nima ke mou kovi ai.”
8 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: Because that you have not obeyed My words,
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea,
9 behold, I am sending, and have taken all the families of the north—a declaration of YHWH—even to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and have brought them in against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations, and have devoted them, and appointed them for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for continuous ruins.
‘Vakai, Te u fekau ke fetuku ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻoe tokelau, mo Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ni, pea ki hono kakai, pea ki he ngaahi kakai ʻoku nofo takatakai ai, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu, pea te u ngaohi ʻakinautolu ko e meʻa fakaʻulia, mo e manukiʻanga, pea mo e fakaʻauha ʻo taʻengata.
10 And I have destroyed from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of joy, voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, noise of millstones, and the light of lamps.
Pea te u toʻo meiate kinautolu ʻae leʻo ʻoe fiefia, pea mo e leʻo ʻoe nekeneka, ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangata taʻane, pea mo e leʻo ʻoe taʻahine, pea mo e ʻuʻulu ʻoe maka momosi, pea mo e ulo ʻoe tūhulu.
11 And all this land has been for a desolation, for an astonishment, and these nations have served the king of Babylon seventy years.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻae fonua ni kotoa pē ko e fakaʻauha, pea ko e fakailifia; pea ʻe ngāue ʻae kakai ni ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitungofulu.
12 And it has come to pass, at the fullness of seventy years, I charge against the king of Babylon, and against that nation,” a declaration of YHWH, “their iniquity, and against the land of the Chaldeans, and have appointed it for continuous desolations.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka kakato ʻae taʻu ʻe fitungofulu, te u tautea ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone, mo hono kakai: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau kovi, pea mo e fonua ʻoe kau Kalitia, pea te u ngaohi ia ko e fakaʻauha ʻo taʻengata.
13 And I have brought in on that land all My words that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this scroll, that Jeremiah has prophesied concerning all the nations.
Pea te u ʻomi ki he fonua ko ia ʻeku ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻaia kuo u lea ki ai, ʻio, ko e meʻa kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ni, ʻaia kuo kikite ʻaki ʻe Selemaia ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
14 For laid service on them—also them—have many nations and great kings, and I have given repayment to them according to their doing, and according to the work of their hands.”
Koeʻuhi ʻe pule kiate kinautolu foki ʻae ngaahi kakai, mo e ngaahi tuʻi lahi pea te u ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau ngaahi faianga, pea hangē ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻa honau nima.
15 For thus said YHWH, God of Israel, to me: “Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and you have caused all the nations to drink it to whom I am sending you;
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli kiate au: “Toʻo mei hoku nima ʻae ipu uaine ʻoe houhau ni, pea ʻatu ia ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻaia te u fekau koe ki ai, ke nau inu ia.
16 and they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shown themselves [to be] foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them.”
Pea te nau inu, pea tasipa, pea faha, koeʻuhi ko e heletā te u fekau kiate kinautolu.”
17 And I take the cup out of the hand of YHWH, and cause all the nations to drink to whom YHWH sent me:
Pea naʻaku toʻo ʻae ipu mei he nima ʻo Sihova, peau fakainu ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fekau au ki ai ʻe Sihova:
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, And its kings, its heads, To give them to ruin, to astonishment, To hissing, and to reviling, as [at] this day;
Ko Selūsalema, mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea mo hono ngaahi tuʻi, pea mo hono houʻeiki ke ngaohi ʻakinautolu ko e fakaʻauha, ko e ofoʻanga, ko e manukiʻanga, pea ko e malaʻia; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo hoko he ʻaho ni.
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people,
Ko Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo hono ngaahi houʻeiki, pea mo hono kakai kotoa pē.
20 And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod,
Pea mo e kakai kehekehe kotoa pē, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko Usa, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ʻoe kau Filisitia, mo ʻAsikeloni, mo ʻAsa, mo Ekiloni, pea mo hono toe ʻo ʻAsitoti.
21 Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
Ko ʻItomi, mo Moape, pea mo e fonua ʻo ʻAmoni.
22 And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Sidon, And the kings of the island that [is] beyond the sea,
Pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo Taia, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo Saitone, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi potu ʻi he matātahi,
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners [of the beard],
Ko Titani, mo Tima, mo Pusi, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi muileleu mamaʻo,
24 And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness,
Pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo ʻAlepea, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe kakai kehekehe ʻoku nofo ʻi he toafa,
25 And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media,
Pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo Simili, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo ʻIlami, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻoe kau Mitea,
26 And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off to one another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That [are] on the face of the ground, And King Sheshach drinks after them.
Pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻoe tokelau, ʻae ofi mo e mamaʻo ʻo lau fakataha, pea mo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻoe kelekele: pea ʻe inu fakamuimui ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Sisaki.
27 “And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Drink, indeed drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and do not rise, Because of the sword that I am sending among you.
Ko ia ke ke lea kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Mou inu, ke mou konā, mo lua, mo hinga, pea ʻoua naʻa toetuʻu hake, koeʻuhi ko e heletā ʻaia te u fekau kiate kimoutolu.
28 And it has come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of your hand to drink, That you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: You certainly drink.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau fie toʻo ʻae ipu ʻi ho nima ke nau inu, ke ke toki pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, Ko e moʻoni te mou inu.
29 For behold, in the city over which My Name is called, I am beginning to bring ruin, And are you entirely acquitted? You are not acquitted, for I am proclaiming a sword, For all inhabitants of the land,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
He ko eni, Vakai, ʻoku ou ʻomi ni ʻae kovi ki he kolo ʻaia ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa hoku huafa, pea te mou hao ʻaupito ʻo taʻetautea? ʻE ʻikai tuku taʻetautea ʻakimoutolu: he te u ui ki he heletā ke hoko ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
30 “And you, you prophesy all these words to them, and have said to them: YHWH roars from the high place, And gives forth His voice from His holy habitation, He surely roars for His habitation, A shout as those treading [the grapes], God answers all the inhabitants of the land,
“Ko ia ke ke kikite ʻaki kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē, pea tala kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻE mana ʻa Sihova mei ʻolunga, pea ʻe ongo atu hono leʻo mei hono ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni; te ne ngungulu lahi ʻi hono ʻafioʻanga; te ne kalanga ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻo hangē ko kinautolu ʻoku malamalaki ki he fua ʻoe vaine.
31 A rumbling has come to the end of the earth, For YHWH has a controversy with nations, He has executed judgment for all flesh, He has given the wicked to the sword,” A declaration of YHWH.
‌ʻE ai ʻae longoaʻa mai ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani; he ʻoku fekovikoviʻi ʻa Sihova mo e ngaahi kakai, te ne alea mo e kakano kotoa pē: pea te ne tukuange ʻae angahala ki he heletā, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.’”
32 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, evil is going out from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind is stirred up from the sides of the earth.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, Vakai, ʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kovi mei he kakai, ki he kakai, pea ʻe fakatupu mei he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani ʻae ʻahiohio lahi.
33 And the pierced of YHWH have been in that day, From the end of the earth even to the end of the earth, They are not lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, For they are dung on the face of the ground.
Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻe Sihova mei hono ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo māmani ʻo aʻu ki hono ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo māmani: pea ʻe ʻikai ha mamahi koeʻuhi ko kinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai tānaki, pe tanu: ka ʻe hoko ʻakinautolu ko e kinohaʻa ʻi he funga fonua.
34 Howl, you shepherds, and cry, And roll yourselves, you majestic of the flock, For your days have been full For slaughtering, and [for] your scatterings, And you have fallen as a desirable vessel.
Tangi, mo tangilāulau ʻakimoutolu ko e kau tauhi, pea fetafokifokiʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he efuefu, ko kimoutolu ko e tauhi lahi; he kuo hokosia ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻomou fakamovetevete, pea mo hoʻomou tāmateʻi; pea ʻe maumauʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e ipu maʻungataʻa.
35 And refuge has perished from the shepherds, And escape from the majestic of the flock.
Pea ʻe ʻikai ha hala ke hola ai ʻae kau tauhi, pe ha haoʻanga ki he tauhi lahi.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of the majestic of the flock, For YHWH is spoiling their pasture.
‌ʻE ongo mai ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangi ʻae kau tauhi, pea mo e tangilāulau ʻae tauhi lahi: he kuo maumauʻi ʻe Sihova ʻenau ngoue.
37 And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH.
Pea kuo tuʻusi ʻae ngaahi nofoʻanga fiemālie koeʻuhi ko e houhau kakaha ʻo Sihova.
38 He has forsaken His covert as a young lion, Surely their land has become a desolation, Because of the oppressing fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger!”
Kuo ne liʻaki hono ʻana, ʻo hangē ko e laione: he kuo lala ʻa honau fonua, koeʻuhi ko e ʻita lahi ʻoe fakamālohi, pea koeʻuhi ko e kakaha ʻo hono houhau.
