Deuteronomy 28

1 “So then, if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all of his commandments, which I instruct to you this day, the Lord your God will cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which exist upon the earth.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, “Kapau te ke tokanga lelei ki he fono ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tokanga mo fai ʻene ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekauʻi koe he ʻaho ni, ʻe hiki koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ke māʻolunga lahi koe ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani:

2 And all these blessings shall come to you and take hold of you, but only if you listen to his precepts.

Pea ʻe hoko kiate koe ʻae ngaahi tāpuaki ni kotoa pē, ʻo fetaʻomi kiate koe, ʻo kapau te ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed in the field.

‌ʻE monūʻia koe ʻi he kolo, pea ʻe monūʻia koe ʻi he ngoue.

4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, and the fruit of your cattle, the droves of your herds, and the folds of your sheep.

‌ʻE monūʻia ʻae fua ʻo ho sino, mo e fua ʻo hoʻo ngoue, mo e fua ʻo hoʻo fanga manu, mo hono tupu ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, mo hoʻo ngaahi fanga sipi.

5 Blessed shall be your barns, and blessed your storehouses.

‌ʻE monūʻia hoʻo kato mo ho feleoko.

6 Blessed shall you be entering and departing.

Te ke monūʻia koe ʻi hoʻo hū mai, pea monūʻia ʻi hoʻo ʻalu kituaʻā.

7 The Lord will grant that your enemies, who rise up against you, will fall down in your sight. They will come against you by one way, and they will flee from your face by seven ways.

‌ʻE pule ʻE Sihova ke teʻia ʻi ho ʻao ʻa ho ngaahi fili ʻoku tuʻu hake kiate koe: tenau haʻu kiate koe ʻi he hala ʻe taha, pea hola meiate koe ʻi he hala ʻe fitu.

8 The Lord will send forth a blessing upon your cellars, and upon all the works of your hands. And he will bless you in the land that you shall receive.

‌ʻE fekau ʻe Sihova ʻene tāpuaki kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi fale faʻoʻanga koloa, pea ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻai ho nima ki ai; pea te ne tāpuaki koe ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

9 The Lord will raise you up as a holy people for himself, just as he swore to you, if you will keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways.

‌ʻE fokotuʻumaʻu koe ʻe Sihova ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fuakava kiate koe, ʻo kapau te ke tauhi ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻi hono ngaahi hala.

10 And all the peoples of the earth shall see that the name of the Lord has been invoked over you, and they shall fear you.

Pea ʻe mamata ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani, kuo ui koe ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova; pea tenau manavahē kiate koe.

11 The Lord will cause you to be abundant in every good thing: in the fruit of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, which the Lord swore to your fathers that he would give to you.

Pea ʻe ngaohi koe ʻe Sihova ke lahi hoʻo lelei, ʻi he ngaahi fua ʻo ho sino, pea ʻi he fua ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, pea ʻi he ngaahi fua ʻo ho fonua, ʻi he fonua ʻaia naʻe fuakava ai ʻa Sihova ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ke foaki kiate koe.

12 The Lord will open his excellent treasury, the heavens, so that it may distribute rain in due time. And he will bless all the works of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you yourself will borrow nothing from anyone.

‌ʻE toʻo kiate koe ʻa Sihova ʻa ʻene koloa lelei, ʻae langi ke foaki mai ʻae ʻuha ki ho fonua ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu totonu, pea ke tāpuaki ʻae ngāue kotoa pē ʻa ho nima: pea te ke nō atu koe ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke nō mai.

13 And the Lord will appoint you as the head, and not as the tail. And you shall be always above, and not beneath. But only if you will listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I entrust to you this day, and will keep and do them,

Pea ʻe ngaohi koe ʻe Sihova ko e ʻulu, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e hiku; pea te ke māʻolunga pe ʻa koe, kae ʻikai te ke māʻulalo; ʻo kapau te ke tokanga ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ke tokanga ki ai ʻo fai:

14 and will not turn aside from them, neither to the right, nor to the left, nor follow strange gods, nor worship them.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke afe mei ha lea ʻe taha ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pe ki he toʻohema, ke muimui ʻi ha ngaahi ʻotua kehe ke tauhi ʻakinautolu.

15 But if you are not willing to listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all his commandments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day, all these curses shall come to you, and take hold of you.

Kae hoko ʻo pehē, “ʻO kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tokanga ʻo fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau kotoa pē mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni; ʻe hoko ai ʻae ngaahi malaʻia ni kiate koe ʻo ne fetaʻomi kiate koe:

16 Cursed shall you be in the city, cursed in the field.

Te ke malaʻia koe ʻi he kolo, pea malaʻia koe ʻi he ngoue.

17 Cursed shall be your barn, and cursed your storehouses.

Te ke malaʻia koe ʻi hoʻo kato, pea ʻi ho feleoko.

18 Cursed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep.

‌ʻE malaʻia ʻae fua ʻo ho sino, mo e fua ʻo ho fonua, mo e tupu ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, mo e fanga sipi.

19 Cursed shall you be entering, and cursed departing.

‌ʻE malaʻia koe ʻi hoʻo hū mai, pea malaʻia koe ʻoka ke ka ʻalu kituaʻā.

20 The Lord will send famine and hunger upon you, and a rebuke upon all the works that you do, until he quickly crushes and perishes you, because of your very wicked innovations, by which you have forsaken me.

‌ʻE fekau ʻe Sihova kiate koe ʻae malaʻia, mo e mamahi, mo e tautea, ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke ʻai ho nima ki ai ke fai, ka ke ʻauha koe, pea ke mole ʻo ʻosi vave; ko e meʻa ʻi he kovi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, ʻaia kuo ke liʻaki ai au.

21 May the Lord join a pestilence to you, until he consumes you from the land, which you shall enter so as to possess.

‌ʻE fakapikimaʻu kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha, ke ne fakaʻauha ai koe mei he funga ʻoe fonua, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu.

22 May the Lord strike you with destitution, with fever and cold, with burning and heat, and with polluted air and rot, and may he pursue you until you perish.

‌ʻE taaʻi koe ʻe Sihova ʻaki ʻae fakaʻauʻausino, pea mo e mofi, pea mo e hangatāmaki, pea mo e vela lahi ʻaupito, pea mo e heletā, pea mo e mahunu, mo e popo; pea tenau tuli koe ke ke ʻauha ai.

23 May the heavens which are above you be of brass, and may the ground upon which you tread be of iron.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻae langi ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga ʻi ho ʻulu ko e palasa, pea ko e kelekele ʻoku ʻi lalo ʻiate koe ʻe hoko ko e ukamea.

24 May the Lord give you dust instead of rain upon your land, and may ashes descend from heaven over you, until you have been wiped away.

‌ʻE ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻuha ʻo ho fonua ko e efu mo e efuefu: ʻe ʻalu hifo ia mei langi kiate koe ke ke ʻauha ai.

25 May the Lord hand you over to fall before your enemies. May you go forth against them by one way, and flee by seven ways, and may you be scattered across all the kingdoms of the earth.

‌ʻE pule ʻe Sihova ke taaʻi koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho ngaahi fili: ke ke ʻalu kituaʻā koe ʻi he hala ʻe taha kiate kinautolu, pea te ke hola ʻi he hala ʻe fitu mei honau ʻao: pea ʻe fetuku koe ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.

26 And may your carcass be food for all the flying things of the air and the wild beasts of the land, and may there be no one to drive them away.

Pea ʻe hoko ho ʻangaʻanga ko e meʻakai ia ki he fanga puna ʻoe ʻatā, pea ki he fanga manu ʻoe fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai fakaseʻeseʻe ʻakinautolu ʻe ha tokotaha.

27 May the Lord strike you with the ulcer of Egypt, and may he strike the part of your body, through which the dung goes out, with disease as well as itch, so much so that you are unable to be cured.

Pea ʻe taaʻi koe ʻe Sihova ʻaki ʻae pala ʻo ʻIsipite, mo e mahaki kovi, mo e poku, mo e veli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakamoʻui koe mei ai.

28 May the Lord strike you with frenzy and blindness and a madness of the mind.

‌ʻE taaʻi ʻaki koe ʻe Sihova ʻae faha, mo e kui, mo e lilika ʻoe loto:

29 And may you grope at midday, just as a blind man is accustomed to grope in darkness, and may your paths not be straight. And at all times may you suffer slander and be oppressed with violence, and may you have no one who may free you.

Pea te ke tautaufā ʻi he hoʻatā, ʻo hangē ko e kui ʻoku tautaufā ʻi he poʻuli, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke monūʻia ʻi ho ngaahi hala: pea ʻe fakamoʻulaloa maʻuaipē koe mo maumauʻi ai pe, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui koe ʻe ha tokotaha:

30 May you take a wife, though another sleeps with her. May you build a house, but not live within it. May you plant a vineyard, and not gather its vintage.

Te ke poloʻi ho uaifi pea ʻe mohe ia mo e tangata kehe: te ke langa ha fale, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke nofo ki ai: te ke tō ʻae ngoue vaine, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu hono ngaahi fua.

31 May your ox be immolated before you, though you do not eat from it. May your donkey be seized in your sight, and not restored to you. May your sheep be given to your enemies, and may there be no one who may help you.

‌ʻE tāmateʻi hoʻo pulu ʻi ho ʻao, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke kai ia: ʻe toʻo ʻo ʻave fakamālohi pe ʻa hoʻo ʻasi mei ho ʻao, pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻomi kiate koe: ʻe foaki ʻa hoʻo fanga sipi ki ho ngaahi fili, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻiate koe ha tokotaha ke toe maʻu mai ia.

32 May your sons and your daughters be handed over to another people, as your eyes watch and languish at the sight of them throughout the day, and may there be no strength in your hand.

Ko ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine ʻe foaki ki he kakai kehe, pea ʻe fakasio ho mata, pea mole ʻi he holi kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa: pea ʻe ʻikai ha mafai ʻi ho nima.

33 May a people you do not know eat the fruits of your land and of all your labors. And may you continually suffer from slander and oppression every day.

Ko e fua ʻo ho fonua, mo hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē, ʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ia ʻe ha puleʻanga ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻiloa; pea ʻe fakamoʻulaloaʻi koe mo taʻomia maʻuaipē.

34 And may you be stupefied at the terror of the things your eyes will see.

Ko ia te ke faha ai ʻi he mamata ʻe ho mata ʻaia te ke mamata ki ai.

35 May the Lord strike you with a very grievous ulcer in the knees and in the legs, and may you be unable to attain health, from the sole of the foot to the top of the head.

‌ʻE taaʻi koe ʻe Sihova ʻi ho tui, pea ʻi ho vaʻe, ʻaki ʻae pala ʻaia ʻe ʻikai faʻa fakamoʻui, mei ho ʻaofi vaʻe ʻo aʻu ki ho tumuʻaki.

36 May the Lord lead you and your king, whom you will have appointed over yourself, into a nation which you and your fathers have not known. And there you will serve foreign gods, of wood and of stone.

‌ʻE ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova mo e tuʻi ʻaia te ke fakanofo ke pule kiate koe, ki he puleʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻe koe, pe ko hoʻo ngaahi tamai; pea te ke tauhi ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ko e ʻakau mo e maka.

37 And you will become nothing but a proverb and a fable to all the peoples to whom the Lord will lead you.

Pea te ke hoko koe ko e ofoʻanga, mo e lauʻikoviʻanga, mo e lumaʻanga, ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻaia ʻe tataki koe ki ai ʻe Sihova.

38 You will sow much seed upon the ground, but you will harvest little. For the locusts will devour everything.

Te ke fetuku ʻae tenga lahi ki he ngoue, ka ke ʻomi ʻae meʻa siʻi mei ai; koeʻuhi ʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ia ʻe he heʻe.

39 You will dig and plant a vineyard, but you will not drink the wine, nor gather anything at all from it. For it will be devastated by worms.

Te ke tō ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine, pea ʻauhani ia, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke inu hono uaine, pe tānaki hono fua, koeʻuhi ʻe kai ia ʻe he ʻunufe.

40 You will have olive trees in all your borders, but you will not be anointed with the oil. For the olives will fall off and perish.

Te ke maʻu ʻae ʻakau ko e ʻolive ʻi he ngaahi potu fonua kotoa pē, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke pani ʻaki koe ʻae lolo; koeʻuhi ʻe lī hono fua ʻe hoʻo ʻolive.

41 You will conceive sons and daughters, and you will not enjoy them. For they will be led into captivity.

‌ʻE tupu ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu ha fiemālie ʻiate kinautolu; he tenau ʻalu ʻo nofo pōpula.

42 Rot will consume all the trees, as well as the fruits of your land.

Ko ho ngaahi ʻakau kotoa pē mo e fua ʻo ho fonua ʻe fakaʻosi ia ʻe he heʻe.

43 The new arrival who lives with you in the land will ascend over you, and be higher. But you will descend, and be lower.

Ko e muli ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻe hiki māʻolunga lahi ʻiate koe; pea ʻe fakahifo koe ke māʻulalo ʻaupito.

44 He will lend to you, and you will not lend to him. He will be as the head, and you will be as the tail.

‌ʻE nō atu ʻe ia kiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke nō kiate ia: ʻe hoko ko e ʻulu ia pea ko e hiku koe.

45 And all these curses shall come to you, and shall pursue you, and shall take hold of you, until you pass away, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and you would not serve his commandments and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.

Pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi malaʻia ni ʻe hoko kiate koe, tenau tuli koe, pea maʻu koe, kaeʻoua ke ʻauha koe; ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke tokanga ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia naʻa ne fekauʻi koe:

46 And there will be the signs and portents with you, and with your offspring, forever.

Pea tenau ʻiate koe, ko e fakaʻilonga, mo e meʻa fakaofo, pea ki ho hako ʻo taʻengata.

47 Because you did not serve the Lord your God, with gladness and a joyful heart, over the abundance of all things.

Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke tauhi ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he angatonu mo e fiefia ʻoe loto, koeʻuhi ko e mahu meʻa lelei kotoa pē;

48 You will serve your enemy, whom the Lord will send to you, in hunger and thirst and nakedness, and in destitution of all things. And he will place an iron yoke upon your neck, until he has crushed you.

Ko ia te ke tauhi ai ʻa ho ngaahi fili ʻaia ʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ke tuʻu hake kiate koe, ʻi he fiekaia, mo e fieinu, pea ʻi he telefua, pea ʻi he masiva ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē: pea te ne ʻai ʻae haʻamonga ukamea ki ho kia, koeʻuhi ke ne fakaʻauha koe.

49 The Lord will lead over you a nation from far away, even from the furthest parts of the earth, like an eagle flying with great force, whose language you are not able to understand:

‌ʻE ʻomi ʻe Sihova ʻae puleʻanga kiate koe mei he mamaʻo, mei he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻo hangē ko e puna ʻae ʻikale; ʻae puleʻanga ko e lea ʻanautolu ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻiloʻi;

50 a very insolent nation, which will show no deference to elders, nor take pity on little ones.

Ko e puleʻanga ʻoku mata mālohi, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai tenau tokanga ki he sino ʻoe motuʻa, pe fakahā ha ʻofa ki he talavou:

51 And he will devour the fruit of your cattle, and the fruits of your land, until you have passed away, without leaving behind you wheat, or wine, or oil, or herds of oxen, or flocks of sheep: until he utterly destroys you.

Pea ʻe kai ʻe ia hono tupu ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lahi, mo e fua ʻo ho fonua, ke ʻoua ke ke ʻauha koe: ʻaia foki ʻe ʻikai tenau tuku kiate koe ha uite, pe ha uaine, pe ha lolo, pe ko e tupu ʻo hoʻo fanga manu lalahi, pe ha fanga sipi, kaeʻoua ke ne fakaʻauha koe.

52 And he will crush you in all your cities. And your strong and lofty walls, in which you trusted, will be destroyed throughout all your land. You will be besieged within your gates throughout all your land, which the Lord your God will give to you.

Pea te ne tauʻi koe ʻi ho ngaahi matapā kotoa pē, ke holoki hifo ʻa ho ngaahi ā māʻolunga mo tali tau, ʻaia ʻoku ke falala ki ai, ʻi ho fonua kotoa pē: pea te ne tauʻi koe ʻi he ngaahi matapā kotoa pē ʻi he potu fonua kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

53 And you will eat the fruit of your womb, and the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, which the Lord your God will give to you, due to the anguish and devastation with which your enemy will oppress you.

Pea te ke kai ʻae fua ʻo ho sino ʻoʻou, ko e kakano ʻo ho ngaahi foha pea mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻaia kuo foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko e meʻa ʻi he tau, pea ʻi he kāpui koe ʻe hoʻo ngaahi fili ʻaia tenau fakamamahiʻi ai koe.

54 The man who is pampered and very self-indulgent among you will vie with his own brother, and with the wife who lies at his bosom,

Ko e tangata ʻiate kimoutolu ʻaia ʻoku vaivai pea mamahi ngofua, ʻe kovi hono mata ki hono tokoua, pea ki he uaifi ʻo hono fatafata, pea ki hono toe ʻo ʻene fānau ʻaia ʻe liʻaki:

55 lest he give to them from the flesh of his sons, which he will eat. For he has nothing else due to the siege and the destitution, with which your enemies will devastate you within all your gates.

Ko ia ʻe ʻikai ʻatu ai ʻe ia ki ha tokotaha ha konga siʻi ʻoe kakano ʻo ʻene fānau ʻaia ʻoku ne kai: koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku toe kiate ia ʻi he tau, mo e fakahonge, ʻaia ʻe fakamamahi ʻaki koe ʻe ho ngaahi fili ʻi ho ngaahi matapā.

56 The tender and pampered woman, who would not walk upon the soil, nor step firmly with her foot due to her very great softness and tenderness, will vie with her husband, who lies at her bosom, over the flesh of son and of daughter,

Ko e fefine vaivai mo mamahi ngofua ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai meimei tuku hono ʻaofivaʻe ki he kelekele koeʻuhi ko e vaivai mo e mamahi ngofua, ʻe kovi hono mata ki he husepāniti ʻo hono fatafata, pea ki heʻene tama, pea ki heʻene taʻahine,

57 and over the filth of the afterbirth, which goes forth from between her thighs, and over the children who are born in the same hour. For they will eat them secretly, due to the scarcity of all things during the siege and the devastation, with which your enemy will oppress you within your gates.

Pea ki he tamasiʻi ʻoku haʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo hono vaʻe, pea ki heʻene fānau te ne fanauʻi: he te ne kai fakafufū ia ʻi heʻene masiva ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he tau mo e fakahonge, ʻaia ʻe fakamamahi ʻaki koe, ʻe ho fili ʻi ho ngaahi matapā.

58 If you will not keep and do all the words of this law, which have been written in this volume, and fear his glorious and terrible name, that is, the Lord your God,

Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke tokanga ke fai ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe fono ni ʻaia kuo tohi ʻi he tohi ni, koeʻuhi ke ke manavahē ki he huafa nāunauʻia mo fakamanavahē ni, KO SIHOVA KO HO ʻOTUA;

59 then the Lord will increase your plagues, and the plagues of your offspring, plagues great and long-lasting, infirmities very grievous and continuous.

Pehē ʻe toki ngaohi ʻe Sihova hoʻo ngaahi tautea ke fakamanavahē, pea mo e tautea ki ho hako, ʻio, ko e tautea lahi, ʻo fuoloa, mo e ngaahi mahaki lahi, pea fai fuoloa.

60 And he will turn back upon you all the afflictions of Egypt, which you fear, and these will cling to you.

Kaeʻumaʻā foki ʻa ʻene ʻomi kiate koe ʻae ngaahi mahaki ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻa ke manavahē ai; pea tenau piki mau kiate koe.

61 In addition, the Lord will lead over you all the diseases and plagues that are not written in the volume of this law, until he crushes you.

Pea mo e ngaahi mahaki kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi tautea kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe fono ni, ʻe ʻomi ia ʻe Sihova kiate koe, kaeʻoua ke ke ʻauha koe.

62 And you will remain few in number, though you were before like the stars of heaven in multitude, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God.

Pea ʻe tuku ʻakimoutolu ke mou toe tokosiʻi pe, ka naʻa mou tatau mo e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi ʻi hono tokolahi: ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke fai talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.

63 And just as before, when the Lord rejoiced over you, doing good for you and multiplying you, so shall he rejoice, scattering and overturning you, so as to take you away from the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hangē naʻe fiefia ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu ke fai lelei kiate kimoutolu, pea ke fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu: ʻe pehē, ʻe fiefia ʻa Sihova kiate kimoutolu ke fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu, pea ke fakaʻosi ʻakimoutolu; pea ʻe hamusi ʻakimoutolu, mei he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai ke maʻu ia.

64 The Lord will disperse you among all the peoples, from the heights of the earth to its furthest limits. And there you will serve foreign gods of wood and of stone, which you and your fathers did not know.

Pea ʻe fakahēʻi koe ʻe Sihova ki he kakai kotoa pē, mei he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo māmani ʻo aʻu atu ki hono ngataʻanga ʻe taha; pea te ke tauhi ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻe koe, pe ko hoʻo ngaahi tamai, ʻio ʻae ʻakau mo e maka.

65 Similarly, you will not have tranquility, even within those nations, nor will there be any rest for the steps of your feet. For the Lord will give to you in that place a fearful heart, and failing eyes, and a life consumed with grieving.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae fiemālie ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ha mālōlō ki ho ʻaofivaʻe: ka ʻe tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻae loto tetetete ʻi ai, mo e vaivai ʻoe mata, mo e mamahi ʻoe loto:

66 And your life will be as if it were hanging before you. You will be afraid night and day, and you will not have confidence in your own life.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo pe te ke moʻui pe te ke mate; pea te ke mamahi ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu fakamoʻoni ki hoʻo moʻui:

67 In the morning you will say, ‘Who will grant evening to me?’ and at evening, ‘Who will grant morning to me?’ because of the dread of your heart, with which you will be terrified, and because of those things that you will see with your eyes.

Te ke pehē ʻi he pongipongi, ʻAmusiaange kuo efiafi! pea ʻi he efiafi te ke pehē, ʻAmusiaange kuo pongipongi! Ko e meʻa ʻi he manavahē ʻo ho loto, ʻaia te ke manavahē ai, pea ʻi he mamata ʻe ho mata ʻaia te ke mamata ki ai.

68 The Lord will lead you back into Egypt with a fleet of ships, along the way, about which he said to you that you would not see it again. In that place, you will be put up for sale as men and women servants to your enemies, but there will be no one willing to buy you.”

Pea ʻe toe ʻomi koe ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsipite ʻi he ngaahi vaka, ʻi he hala ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai kiate koe, ʻE ʻikai te ke toe mamata ki ai: pea ʻe fakatau ʻakimoutolu ʻi ai ki homou ngaahi fili ko e kau tangata pōpula mo e kau fefine pōpula; pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne fie fakatau [ʻakimoutolu].”
