< ʻIsikieli 16 >

1 Naʻe toe hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Foha ʻoe tangata, fakaʻilo ki Selūsalema ʻa ʻene ngaahi fakalielia,
Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,
3 Pea ke lea, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki Selūsalema; naʻe fanauʻi pea fāʻeleʻi koe ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani; ko hoʻo tamai ko e [tangata ]ʻAmoli, pea ko hoʻo faʻē ko e [fefine ]Heti.
And say, This is what the Lord has said to Jerusalem: Your start and your birth was from the land of the Canaanite; an Amorite was your father and your mother was a Hittite.
4 Pea koeʻuhi ko ho fāʻeleʻi, ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fanauʻi ai koe naʻe ʻikai tā ho uho, pea naʻe ʻikai kaukau koe ʻi ha vai, ke fakamolū koe; naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻaki koe ha māsima, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito fakakofu koe.
As for your birth, on the day of your birth your cord was not cut and you were not washed in water to make you clean; you were not salted or folded in linen bands.
5 Naʻe ʻikai ha mata ke ʻofa kiate koe ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate koe pe manavaʻofa kiate koe; ka naʻe lī atu koe ki he vao ʻataʻatā, ke fakalielia ho sino ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fāʻeleʻi ai koe.
No eye had pity on you to do any of these things to you or to be kind to you; but you were put out into the open country, because your life was hated at the time of your birth.
6 “Pea ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu kiate koe pea u mamata naʻa ke fakalielia ʻi ho toto pe ʻoʻou, ne u pehē kiate koe, lolotonga hoʻo kei pani toto, Ke ke moʻui; ʻio, naʻa ke kei ʻi ho toto ʻoʻou, naʻaku pehē ai kiate koe, Ke ke moʻui.
And when I went past you and saw you stretched out in your blood, I said to you, Though you are stretched out in your blood, have life;
7 Kuo u ngaohi koe ke ke tupu ʻo hangē ko e fisi ʻoe ngoue, pea kuo ke tupu pea hoko ko e lahi, pea kuo ke maʻu ʻae teunga ki he teunga; kuo hunuki ho huhu, pea kuo tupu ho fulufulu, ka naʻa ke telefua mo masiva.
And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.
8 Pea ko eni, ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu kiate koe, vakai, ko e lolotonga ia ʻa hoʻo ʻofa; pea naʻaku folahi atu kiate koe ʻa hoku kofu mo fakakofuʻaki ʻa hoʻo telefua; ʻio, naʻaku fuakava kiate koe, pea naʻa ta fefuakavaʻaki mo koe,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “pea naʻaku maʻu koe maʻaku.”
Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.
9 “Pea u toki kaukau koe ʻaki ʻae vai, ne u fufulu koe ke maʻa ʻaupito mei he toto, pea naʻaku tākai koe ʻaki ʻae lolo.
Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.
10 Naʻaku fakakofuʻaki koe ʻae tuitui fakasanisani, pea u fakatopuvaʻe ʻaki koe ʻae kiliʻi pasa; pea u fakavala ʻaki koe ʻae tupenu lelei, pea naʻaku ʻufiʻufi koe ʻaki ʻae silika.
And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.
11 Naʻaku ʻai foki kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa teunga, pea naʻaku ʻai ʻae vesa ki ho nima, mo e kahoa ki ho kia.
And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.
12 Pea naʻaku ʻai ʻae maka mahuʻinga ʻi ho foʻi laʻē, mo e mama ʻi ho telinga, mo e pale lelei ki ho ʻulu.
And I put a ring in your nose and ear-rings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Naʻe pehē ʻae teuteu ʻaki koe ʻae koula mo e siliva; naʻe kofuʻaki koe ʻae tupenu lelei mo e silika, mo e tuitui fakasanisani; naʻa ke kai ʻi he mahoaʻa lelei mo e honi, mo e lolo: pea naʻa ke hoihoifua ʻaupito pea naʻa ke tupu lelei ʻo hoko ko e puleʻanga.
So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.
14 Naʻe mafola atu ho ongoongolelei ki he hiteni ko e meʻa ʻi ho hoihoifua, he naʻe haohaoa ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku lelei ʻaia naʻaku ʻai ʻeau kiate koe,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.
15 “Ka naʻa ke falala koe ki ho hoihoifua, pea naʻa ke fai feʻauaki, ko e meʻa ʻi ho ongoongo, naʻa ke fai hoʻo feʻauaki kiate ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ange; naʻe ʻaʻana pe ia.
But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.
16 Pea naʻa ke toʻo ho ngaahi kofu pea ne ke teuteu ʻaki ia ho ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻi he meʻa pule kehekehe, pea naʻa ke fai feʻauaki ʻi ai: pea ʻe ʻikai toe hoko ha meʻa pehē; ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito pehē.
And you took your robes and made high places for yourself ornamented with every colour, acting like a loose woman on them, without shame or fear.
17 Pea kuo ke toʻo ʻae ngaahi teunga lelei ʻo ʻeku koula mo ʻeku siliva, ʻaia naʻaku foaki kiate koe, mo ke ngaohi kiate koe ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ʻoe tangata, pea kuo ke fai angahala mo ia.
And you took the fair jewels, my silver and gold which I had given to you, and made for yourself male images, acting like a loose woman with them;
18 Kuo ke fakakofuʻaki ʻakinautolu ho ngaahi kofu fakasanisani: pea kuo ke tuku ʻi honau ʻao ʻa ʻeku lolo mo e meʻa namu kakala ʻaʻaku.
And you took your robes of needlework for their clothing, and put my oil and my perfume before them.
19 Ko ʻeku meʻakai foki, ʻaia naʻaku foaki kiate koe, ʻae mahoaʻa lelei, mo e lolo mo e honi, naʻaku fafanga ʻaki koe, naʻa mo ia kuo ke tuku ʻi honau ʻao, ko e meʻa namu kakala.” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, naʻe pehē ʻa hono fai.
And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord.
20 “Kuo ke toʻo foki hoʻo ngaahi tama mo hoʻo ngaahi taʻahine ʻaia kuo ke fanauʻi kiate au, pea kuo ke feilaulau ʻaki ʻakinautolu ke nau ʻauha. Ko e meʻa siʻi koā eni, ʻa hoʻo feʻauaki?
And you took your sons and your daughters whom I had by you, offering even these to them to be their food. Was your loose behaviour so small a thing,
21 Kaeʻumaʻā ʻa hoʻo tāmateʻi ʻeku fānau, mo ke tuku ʻakinautolu ke ʻalu atu [ʻi he afi ]maʻanautolu?
That you put my children to death and gave them up to go through the fire to them?
22 Pea ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia kotoa pē mo hoʻo feʻauaki kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai te ke manatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo kei siʻi, ʻaia naʻa ke telefua mo masiva ai, pea ke fakalielia ʻi ho toto pe ʻoʻou.”
And in all your disgusting and false behaviour you had no memory of your early days, when you were uncovered and without clothing, stretched out in your blood.
23 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻi heʻene hili kotoa pē ʻa hoʻo fai kovi, (Malaʻia, malaʻia kiate koe! ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; )
And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,
24 Kuo ke langa moʻou ʻae fale feʻauaki mo ke ngaohi kiate koe ʻae potu māʻolunga ʻi he hala kotoa pē.
That you made for yourself an arched room in every open place.
25 Kuo ke langa ho fale feʻauaki ʻi he tefito hala kotoa pē pea kuo ke ngaohi ho hoihoifua ko e fehiʻanekina, mo ke fakaava ho vaʻe kiate ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ange mo ke fakalahi pe ki hoʻo feʻauaki.
You put up your high places at the top of every street, and made the grace of your form a disgusting thing, opening your feet to everyone who went by, increasing your loose ways.
26 Kuo ke fai angahala foki mo ho kaunga nofoʻanga, ko e kakai ʻIsipite ʻoku sino lalahi: pea kuo ke fakalahi ki hoʻo feʻauaki, ko e fakatupu ʻita kiate au.
And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.
27 Ko ia, vakai, kuo u mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe, pea u fakasiʻisiʻi hoʻo meʻakai, mo tukuange koe ki he faʻiteliha ʻanautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe, ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kau Filisitia, he ʻoku nau mā ʻi hoʻo faianga fakalielia.
Now, then, my hand is stretched out against you, cutting down your fixed amount, and I have given you up to the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines who are shamed by your loose ways.
28 Kuo ke fai angahala foki mo e kakai ʻAsilia, he naʻe ʻikai te ke faʻa fiu; ʻio, kuo ke fai angahala mo kinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te ke topono ai.
And you went with the Assyrians, because of your desire which was without measure; you were acting like a loose woman with them, and still you had not enough.
29 Kuo ke fakalahi foki ʻa hoʻo feʻauaki ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani ʻo aʻu ki Kalitia; ka naʻa mo ia naʻe ʻikai te ke fiu ai.”
And you went on in your loose ways, even as far as the land of Chaldaea, and still you had not enough.
30 “ʻOiauē! ʻAe vaivai ho loto,” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “He kuo ke fai eni kotoa pē, ko e ngāue ʻae fefine faʻa feʻauaki mo fakamofutofuta;
How feeble is your heart, says the Lord, seeing that you do all these things, the work of a loose and overruling woman;
31 Pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo langa ha fale feʻauaki ʻi he tefito hala kotoa pē, pea ngaohi ho potu māʻolunga ʻi he hala kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke tatau mo e fefine feʻauaki ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fehiʻa ki he totongi;
For you have made your arched room at the top of every street, and your high place in every open place; though you were not like a loose woman in getting together your payment.
32 Kae hangē ko e uaifi ʻoku tono tangata ʻoku maʻu ʻae kakai kehe ko e fetongi ʻa hono husepāniti!
The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!
33 ‌ʻOku foaki totongi ki he kau fefine feʻauaki kotoa pē; ka ko koe kuo ke foaki meʻaʻofa ki ho kau mamana kotoa pē, pea ke totongi kiate kinautolu, ke nau haʻu kiate koe mei he potu kotoa pē ki hoʻo feʻauaki.
They give payment to all loose women: but you give rewards to your lovers, offering them payment so that they may come to you on every side for your cheap love.
34 Pea ʻoku ke fai kehe koe ʻi hoʻo fai angahala mo e fefine kehe, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai muimui ha niʻihi kiate koe ke fai ʻae angahala; pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fai ʻe koe ʻae totongi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha totongi ʻe fai kiate koe, ko ia ʻoku ke kehe ai.”
And in your loose behaviour you are different from other women, for no one goes after you to make love to you: and because you give payment and no payment is given to you, in this you are different from them.
35 Ko ia, ʻe fefine feʻauaki, fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
For this cause, O loose woman, give ear to the voice of the Lord:
36 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Koeʻuhi naʻe lilingi atu hoʻo fakalielia, pea fakahā hoʻo telefua, ʻi hoʻo fai angahala mo ho kau mamana, mo e ngaahi tamapua ʻo hoʻo fakalielia, pea mo e toto ʻo hoʻo fānau ʻaia naʻa ke tuku kiate kinautolu:
This is what the Lord has said: Because your unclean behaviour was let loose and your body uncovered in your loose ways with your lovers and with your disgusting images, and for the blood of your children which you gave to them;
37 Vakai, ko ia foki te u tānaki ai ho kau mamana kotoa pē, ʻakinautolu kuo ke fakafiefia ai koe, mo kinautolu kotoa pē kuo ke ʻofa ki ai, fakataha mo kinautolu kotoa pē kuo ke fehiʻa ki ai; ʻio, te u tānaki fakataha ʻakinautolu kiate koe, pea te u fakahā hoʻo telefua kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki hoʻo telefua kotoa pē.
For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.
38 Pea te u fakamaauʻi koe, ʻo tatau mo e fakamaau ki he kau fefine ʻoku maumau ʻae fakamaʻu mali mo lilingi ʻae toto: pea te u fakainu ʻaki koe ʻae toto ʻi heʻeku houhau mo ʻeku fuaʻa.
And you will be judged by me as women are judged who have been untrue to their husbands and have taken life; and I will let loose against you passion and bitter feeling.
39 Pea te u tukuange koe foki ki honau nima, pea te nau holoki hifo ho fale ongoongo, ʻo maumauʻi ki lalo ho ngaahi potu māʻolunga: pea te nau haehae foki meiate koe ho ngaahi kofu, mo nau ʻave hoʻo ngaahi meʻa teunga, pea te nau fakatelefuaʻi mo fakamasivaʻi koe.
I will give you into their hands, and your arched room will be overturned and your high places broken down; they will take your clothing off you and take away your fair jewels: and when they have done, you will be uncovered and shamed.
40 Pea te nau ʻomi mo e niʻihi kiate koe, pea te nau lisingi koe ʻaki ʻae maka, pea tui ʻaki koe ʻenau heletā ke ʻasi.
And they will get together a meeting against you, stoning you with stones and wounding you with their swords.
41 Pea te nau tuungia ho ngaahi fale, mo nau fai ʻae tautea kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fefine tokolahi: te u ngaohi koe ke ke tuku hoʻo feʻauaki, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ke toe fai ha totongi.
And they will have you burned with fire, sending punishments on you before the eyes of great numbers of women; and I will put an end to your loose ways, and you will no longer give payment.
42 Ko ia ia ʻe lolou ai ʻa hoku houhau kiate koe, pea ʻe hiki hoku fuaʻa meiate koe, pea te u fiemālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻita.
And the heat of my wrath against you will have an end, and my bitter feeling will be turned away from you, and I will be quiet and will be angry no longer.
43 Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te ke manatuʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hoʻo kei siʻi, ka kuo ke fakamataliliʻi au ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē, ko ia, vakai, te u fakahoko ki ho tumuʻaki hono nunuʻa ʻo hoʻo faianga, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fakalahi ʻaki hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia kotoa pē ʻa hoʻo fai ʻae fakalielia ko eni.”
Because you have not kept in mind the days when you were young, but have been troubling me with all these things; for this reason I will make the punishment of your ways come on your head, says the Lord, because you have done this evil thing in addition to all your disgusting acts.
44 “Vakai, ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku faʻa lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā te nau lea fakatātā kiate koe ʻo pehē, ‘ʻO hangē ko e faʻē, ʻoku pehē pe ʻene taʻahine.’
See, in every common saying about you it will be said, As the mother is, so is her daughter.
45 Ko e taʻahine koe ʻa hoʻo faʻē, ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki hono husepāniti mo ʻene fānau; pea ko e tehina koe ʻo ho ngaahi tokoua, ʻakinautolu naʻe fehiʻa ki honau husepāniti mo ʻenau fānau: ko hoʻo faʻē ko e [fefine ]Heti, pea ko hoʻo tamai ko e [tangata ]ʻAmoli ia.
You are the daughter of your mother whose soul is turned in disgust from her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters who were turned in disgust from their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.
46 Pea ko ho taʻokete ko Samēlia ia, ʻaia mo ʻene fānau fefine, ʻoku nofo ʻi ho nima toʻohema: pea ko ho tehina, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu, ko Sotoma ia mo ʻene fānau fefine.
Your older sister is Samaria, living at your left hand, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, living at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 Ka naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻeveʻeva koe ʻi honau hala, pe fai ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngaahi fakalielia: kae hangē naʻe siʻi ʻaupito haʻanautolu, ka kuo ke fai fakalielia lahi hake ʻaupito koe ʻiate kinautolu, ʻi hoʻo anga kotoa pē.”
Still you have not gone in their ways or done the disgusting things which they have done; but, as if that was only a little thing, you have gone deeper in evil than they in all your ways.
48 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻO hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe ho tehina ko Sotoma, ʻa ia, pe ko ʻene fānau fefine, ʻo tatau mo ia kuo ke fai ʻe koe, ʻa koe, mo hoʻo kau taʻahine.
By my life, says the Lord, Sodom your sister never did, she or her daughters, what you and your daughters have done.
49 Vakai, ko e fai hala eni ʻa ho tehina ko Sotoma, ko e fielahi, mo e fangapesi, mo e fakapikopiko lahi, naʻe ʻiate ia mo ʻene fānau fefine, pea naʻe ʻikai tokoni ʻe ia ki he nima ʻoe masiva mo e paea.
Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need.
50 Pea naʻa nau fielahi, mo nau fai fakalielia ʻi hoku ʻao; ko ia naʻaku faʻiteliha pe au ʻo ʻave ai ʻakinautolu.
They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.
51 Pea naʻa mo Samēlia, ʻoku ʻikai te ne fai hala ʻe ia ke tatau mo e vaeua haʻau; he kuo ke fakatupu hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia ke lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu, pea kuo tonuhia ange ʻiate koe, ʻa ho ngaahi tokoua, ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia, ʻaia kuo ke fai ʻe koe.
And Samaria has not done half your sins; but you have made the number of your disgusting acts greater than theirs, making your sisters seem more upright than you by all the disgusting things which you have done.
52 ‌ʻA koe foki, kuo ke fakaanga ki ho ngaahi tokoua, fua pe ʻe koe, ʻa hoʻo mā ʻaʻau, ʻi hoʻo ngaahi angahala kuo ke fai fakalielia lahi ai ʻiate kinautolu: ʻoku nau māʻoniʻoni hake ʻiate koe: ʻio, ke ke puputuʻu koe, pea ke fua hoʻo mā, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fakatonuhiaʻi ho ngaahi tokoua.
And you yourself will be put to shame, in that you have given the decision for your sisters; through your sins, which are more disgusting than theirs, they are more upright than you: truly, you will be shamed and made low, for you have made your sisters seem upright.
53 ‌ʻO kau ka toe ʻomi mei he pōpula, ʻae kau pōpula ʻo Sotoma mo ʻene fānau fefine, mo e pōpula ʻo Samēlia mo ʻene fānau fefine ʻaʻana, te u toki ʻomi ʻae pōpula ʻi hoʻo kau pōpula ki honau lotolotonga:
And I will let their fate be changed, the fate of Sodom and her daughters, and the fate of Samaria and her daughters, and your fate with theirs.
54 Koeʻuhi ke ke fua ʻe koe pe ʻa hoʻo mā, pea ke puputuʻu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ke fai, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu.
So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.
55 ‌ʻOka toe liliu mai ʻa Sotoma mo ʻene fānau fefine ki heʻenau nofo muʻa, pea liliu ʻa Samēlia mo ʻene fānau fefine ki heʻenau muʻaki nofo, ʻe toki liliu ai koe mo hoʻo fānau fefine ki hoʻomou nofo muʻa ʻamoutolu.
And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will go back to their first condition, and Samaria and her daughters will go back to their first condition, and you and your daughters will go back to your first condition.
56 He naʻe ʻikai te ke meimei lea ʻaki mei ho ngutu, ʻa ho taʻokete ko Samēlia, ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hoʻo fielahi,
Was not your sister Sodom an oath in your mouth in the day of your pride,
57 ‌ʻI he teʻeki ai fakahā hoʻo angakovi, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe manukiʻi ai koe ʻe he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Silia mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo vāofi mo ia, ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe kau Filisitia, ʻaia ʻoku manuki fano pe kiate koe.
Before your shame was uncovered? Now you have become like her a word of shame to the daughters of Edom and all who are round about you, the daughters of the Philistines who put shame on you round about.
58 Kuo ke fua hoʻo holi kovi mo hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.
59 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Te u fai kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ke fai, ʻa koe, kuo ke manuki ki heʻeta tuki, mo ke maumauʻi ʻae fuakava.
For this is what the Lord has said: I will do to you as you have done, you who, putting the oath on one side, have let the agreement be broken.
60 Ka neongo ia te u manatu ʻeau, ʻa ʻeku fuakava mo koe ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hoʻo kei siʻi, pea te u fokotuʻu kiate koe ha fuakava ʻe ʻikai ngata.
But still I will keep in mind the agreement made with you in the days when you were young, and I will make with you an eternal agreement.
61 Pea te ke toki manatu ki hoʻo faianga kotoa pē, pea te ke mā, ʻoka ke ka maʻu ho ngaahi tokoua, ʻa ho taʻokete mo ho ngaahi tehina: pea te u foaki ʻakinautolu kiate koe, ke ke ʻofefine aki, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻi hoʻo fuakava ʻaʻau.
Then at the memory of your ways you will be overcome with shame, when I take your sisters, the older and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not by your agreement.
62 Pea te u fokotuʻu ʻa ʻeku fuakava mo koe, pea te ke ʻilo ko Sihova au.
And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:
63 Koeʻuhi ke ke manatu ai, mo ke puputuʻu, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ke toe mafaʻa ho ngutu koeʻuhi ko hoʻo mā, ʻo kau ka toe fiemālie kiate koe ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē kuo ke fai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua.
So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.
