< Ezekiel 6 >

1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Pea naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
2 Son of man, set thy face towards the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
“Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahangatonu ho mata ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea kikite ki ai,
3 And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD: Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, [even] I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.
Mo pehē, ʻE ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ki he ngaahi moʻunga mo e ngaahi tafungofunga mo e ngaahi vaitafe, pea ki he ngaahi teleʻa; Vakai ko au, ʻio, ko au, te u ʻomi ʻae heletā kiate kimoutolu, pea te u fakaʻauha homou ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
4 And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain [men] before your idols.
Pea ʻe liʻaki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea ʻe maumauʻi homou ngaahi tamapua: pea te u lī hifo ʻa hoʻomou mate ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou ngaahi tamapua.
5 And I will lay the dead carcasses of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones about your altars.
Pea te u tuku ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi tamapua; pea te u tūtuuʻi takatakai homou hui ʻi he ngaahi feilaulauʻanga.
6 In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
Pea ʻe fakalala homou ngaahi kolo ʻi homou potu nofoʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻe ngaongao homou ngaahi potu fakaʻeiʻeiki; koeʻuhi ke veteki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulauʻanga mo liʻaki, pea maumauʻi mo fakaʻosi homou ngaahi ʻotua, pea hifi ki lalo homou ngaahi tamapua, pea fakaʻauhamālie hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue.
7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Pea ʻe tō hifo ʻae mate tāmateʻi ʻi loto ʻiate koe, pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.
8 Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have [some] that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
“Ka te u tuku ha toenga, koeʻuhi ke ai haʻamou niʻihi ʻe hao mei he heletā ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻoka movetevete ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi fonua.
9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their apostate heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes which go astray after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku hao ʻiate kimoutolu te nau manatu kiate au, ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaia ʻe ʻave pōpula ki ai ʻakinautolu, ʻo kau ka fesiʻi honau loto angahala naʻe mamaʻo ʻiate au, mo honau mata naʻe sio holi pe ki honau ngaahi tamapua: pea te nau fehiʻa ʻaupito kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi kovi ʻaia kuo nau fai ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakalielia.
10 And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, [and that] I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.
Pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, naʻe ʻikai te u lea vaʻinga ʻaki ʻa ʻeku pehē te u fai ʻae kovi ni kiate kinautolu.”
11 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas, for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ke pasi ho nima pea malakaki ho vaʻe, pea ke pehē, ʻOiauē ʻae ngaahi kovi fakalielia ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli! He te nau tō ʻi he heletā, mo e honge, mo e mahaki fakaʻauha.
12 He that is far off shall die by the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.
Ko ia ʻoku nofo mamaʻo ʻe mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha; pea ko ia ʻoku ofi ʻe tō ʻi he heletā; pea ko ia ʻoku toe ʻi he nofo kolo ʻe mate ʻi he honge: ʻe pehē ʻeku fakahoko hoku houhau kiate kinautolu.
13 Then shall ye know that I [am] the LORD, when their slain [men] shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they offered sweet savor to all their idols.
Pea te nau toki ʻilo, tā ko au ko Sihova, ʻoka tuku honau kakai tāmatea fakataha mo honau ngaahi tamapua ʻo takatakai ʻi honau ngaahi ʻesifeilaulau, ʻi he potu māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he tumuʻaki ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, ʻi he lolo ʻakau moʻui kotoa pē, pea ʻi he lolo ʻoke lau maʻuiʻui ʻaia ne ʻatu ai ʻae namu kakala ki honau ngaahi tamapua.
14 So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, even, more desolate than the wilderness towards Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku mafao atu hoku nima kiate kinautolu, mo fakaʻauha ʻae fonua, ʻio, ʻe lahi hake ʻae lala ʻo honau ngaahi nofoʻanga, ʻi he toafa ko Tipilate; pea te nau ʻilo ai ko au ko Sihova.”
