< Jeremiah 30 >

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
Ko e folofola naʻe hoko meia Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
2 “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.
‌ʻOku folofola ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke tohi ʻi he tohi ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē kuo u lea ʻaki kiate koe.
3 For, behold, the days come,’ says Yahweh, ‘that I will reverse the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,’ says Yahweh. ‘I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻaia te u toe ʻomi ai ʻae kau pōpula ʻi hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli mo Siuta, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova: pea te u pule kiate kinautolu ke nau foki ki honau fonua, ʻaia naʻaku foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea te nau maʻu ia.”
4 These are the words that Yahweh spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
Pea ko e ngaahi lea eni naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsileli mo Siuta.
5 For Yahweh says: “We have heard a voice of trembling; a voice of fear, and not of peace.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Kuo mau fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe tetetete, mo e manavahē, kae ʻikai ko e fiemālie.
6 Ask now, and see whether a man travails with child. Why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned pale?
Mou fehuʻi eni, pea vakai pe ʻoku ai ha tangata ʻoku langā ke fāʻele? Ko e hā ʻoku ou mamata ai ki he tangata taki taha ʻoku ʻai hono nima ki hono kongaloto, ʻo hangē ko e fefine ʻoku langā, pea ʻoku tetea ʻae mata kotoa pē?
7 Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it! It is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he will be saved out of it.
‌ʻOiauē! He ʻoku lahi ʻae ʻaho ko ia, he ʻoku ʻikai hano tatau: ʻio, ko e ʻaho mamahi ʻo Sēkope; ka ʻe fakamoʻui ia mei ai.”
8 It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds. Strangers will no more make them their bondservants;
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “ʻE hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, te u maumauʻi ʻae haʻamonga mei ho kia, pea te u motuhi ho ngaahi haʻi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne toe tauhi ki he kau muli:
9 but they will serve Yahweh their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.
Ka te nau tauhi kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, mo Tevita ko honau tuʻi, ʻaia te u fokotuʻu kiate kinautolu.”
10 Therefore don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh. Don’t be dismayed, Israel. For, behold, I will save you from afar, and save your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, ʻE Sēkope ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki; pea ʻoua naʻa ke puputuʻu, ʻE ʻIsileli: koeʻuhi vakai, te u fakamoʻui koe mei he mamaʻo, pea mo ho hako mei he fonua ʻo ʻenau pōpula; pea ʻe tafoki ʻa Sēkope, pea ʻe mālōlō ia, mo fiemālie, pea ʻe ʻikai fakailifiaʻi ia ʻe ha tokotaha.
11 For I am with you, says Yahweh, to save you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ou ʻiate koe ke fakamoʻui koe: kapau te u fakaʻosi ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi kakai kuo u fakamovete koe ki ai, ka ʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻosi ʻaupito koe: ka te u tautea fakasiʻisiʻi koe, ka e ʻikai te ke hao ʻaupito.
12 For Yahweh says, “Your hurt is incurable. Your wound is grievous.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku taʻefaʻafakamoʻui ho fakavolu, pea ʻoku kovi lahi ho lavea.
13 There is no one to plead your cause, that you may be bound up. You have no healing medicines.
‌ʻOku ʻikai ha taha ke langomakiʻi koe, Ke ne nonoʻo ho lavea: ʻoku ʻikai ha vai fakamoʻui kiate koe.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you. They don’t seek you. For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased.
Kuo fakangalongaloʻi koe ʻekinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻofa; ʻoku ʻikai te nau kumi koe; he kuo u tui ʻaki koe ʻae tā ʻae fili, ʻaki ʻae tautea lahi ʻaupito, koeʻuhi ko hono lahi ʻo hoʻo hia; pea koeʻuhi kuo tupu hoʻo ngaahi angahala.
15 Why do you cry over your injury? Your pain is incurable. For the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.
Ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi ai koeʻuhi ko hoʻo mamahi? ʻE ʻikai faʻa fakamoʻui ho lavea, koeʻuhi ko hono lahi ʻo hoʻo hia: kuo u fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate koe, koeʻuhi kuo tupu ʻo lahi hoʻo ngaahi angahala.
16 Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured. All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity. Those who plunder you will be plunder. I will make all who prey on you become prey.
Ko ia ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fakaʻauha koe; pea ʻe ʻave fakapōpula taki taha kotoa pē ʻa ho ngaahi fili; pea ʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nau maumauʻi koe, pea ʻe tukuange ki he fakamālohi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fakamālohi kiate koe.
17 For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,” says Yahweh, “because they have called you an outcast, saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’”
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u fakamoʻui koe, pea te u fakamoʻui mo ho ngaahi lavea; koeʻuhi naʻa nau ui koe, ‘Ko e liʻaki,’ ʻo pehē,’ Ko Saione eni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai kumi ki ai ʻe ha taha.’”
18 Yahweh says: “Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places. The city will be built on its own hill, and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Vakai, te u toe liliu ʻae pōpula ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Sēkope, pea te u ʻofa ki hono ngaahi nofoʻanga; pea ʻe langa ʻae kolo ʻi hono moʻunga ʻoʻona, pea tuʻumaʻu pe ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻi hono anga muʻa.
19 Thanksgiving will proceed out of them with the voice of those who make merry. I will multiply them, and they will not be few; I will also glorify them, and they will not be small.
Pea ʻe ʻalu atu mei ai ʻae fakafetaʻi pea mo e leʻo ʻokinautolu ʻoku fakafiefia: pea te u fakatokolahi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau tokosiʻi; pea te u fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau māʻulalo.
20 Their children also will be as before, and their congregation will be established before me. I will punish all who oppress them.
Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻenau fānau ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa, pea ʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ʻenau fakataha ʻi hoku ʻao, pea te u tautea ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fakamālohiʻi ʻakinautolu.
21 Their prince will be one of them, and their ruler will proceed from among them. I will cause him to draw near, and he will approach me; for who is he who has had boldness to approach me?” says Yahweh.
Pea ʻe tupu honau houʻeiki ʻi honau faʻahinga, pea ʻe tupu ʻiate kinautolu ʻa honau pule; pea te u pule ke ne ʻunuʻunu mai, pea te ne haʻu kiate au: he ko hai eni naʻa ne ueʻi hono loto ke haʻu kiate au? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova.
22 “You shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Pea te mou hoko ko hoku kakai, pea te u hoko ko homou ʻOtua.
23 Behold, Yahweh’s storm, his wrath, has gone out, a sweeping storm; it will burst on the head of the wicked.
Vakai, ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻae ʻahiohio ʻa Sihova ʻo mālohi lahi ʻaupito, ko e ʻahiohio maʻuaipē: ʻe tō ia ko e fakamamahi ki he ʻulu ʻoe angahala.”
24 The fierce anger of Yahweh will not return until he has accomplished, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.”
‌ʻE ʻikai fakatafoki ʻae houhau kakaha ʻo Sihova, kaeʻoua ke ne fai ia, pea ke ʻoua ke ne fai ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa hono loto: te mou ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui.
