Ezekiel 23

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

Naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

2 Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother.

“Foha ʻoe tangata, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fefine ʻe toko ua ko e fānau ʻae faʻē pe taha:

3 And they committed fornication in Egypt, in their youth they committed fornication: there were their breasts pressed down, and the teats of their virginity were bruised.

Pea naʻa na fai angahala ʻi ʻIsipite; naʻa na fai angahala ʻi heʻena kei siʻi: pea naʻe fakangalemu ʻi ai honau huhu; pea fakavolu ʻi ai ʻae mataʻi huhu ʻo ʻenau kei tāupoʻou.

4 And their names were Oolla the elder, and Ooliba her younger sister: and I took them, and they bore sons and daughters. Now for their names, Samaria is Oolla, and Jerusalem is Ooliba.

Pea ko hona hingoa ko ʻAhola ko e taʻokete, pea mo ʻAholipa ko e tehina: pea naʻe ʻaʻaku ʻakinaua, pea naʻa na fanauʻi ʻae fānau tangata mo e fānau fefine. Pea ko hono ʻuhinga ʻo hona hingoa, ko ʻAhola ko Samēlia ia, pea ko ʻAholipa ko Selūsalema ia.

5 And Oolla committed fornication against me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that came to her,

Pea naʻe fai angahala ʻa ʻAhola lolotonga naʻe ʻaʻaku pe ia; pea naʻa ne ʻofa nanivi ki heʻene kau mamana ko hono kaunga nofoʻanga ko e kau ʻAsilia,

6 Who were clothed with blue, princes, and rulers, beautiful youths, all horsemen, mounted upon horses.

‌ʻAkinautolu naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae kofu paʻuhiʻuhi, ʻae kau ʻeikitau mo e kau pule, ko e kau toulekeleka mo talavou ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ko e kau heka hoosi ʻoku faʻa heka ai.

7 And she committed her fornications with those chosen men, all sons of the Assyrians: and she defiled herself with the uncleanness of all them on whom she doted.

Naʻe pehē ʻene fai angahala mo kinautolu, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ko e kau ongoongo ʻo ʻAsilia, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻa ne ʻofa nanivi ki ai: naʻa ne fakalielia ia mo honau ngaahi tamapua kotoa pē.

8 Moreover also she did not forsake her fornications which she had committed in Egypt: for they also lay with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured out their fornication upon her.

Pea naʻe ʻikai ke tuku ʻe ia ʻae fai angahala mei ʻIsipite: he naʻa nau takoto mo ia ʻi heʻene kei siʻi, naʻa nau fāʻufua ʻae huhu ʻo ʻene kei tāupoʻou, ʻonau lilingi kiate ia ʻenau feʻauaki.

9 Therefore have I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assyrians, upon whose lust she doted.

Ko ia kuo u tuku ai ia ki he nima ʻo ʻene kau mamana, ki he nima ʻoe kau ʻAsila, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻofa nanivi ki ai.

10 They discovered her disgrace, took away her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword: and they became infamous women, and they executed judgments in her.

Ko kinautolu eni, naʻa nau fakahā ʻene telefua, pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻene fānau tangata mo ʻene fānau fefine, mo tāmateʻi ia ʻaki ʻae heletā: pea naʻa ne hoko ʻo ongoongoa ia ʻi he kakai fefine; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fai ʻae fakamaau kiate ia.

11 And when her sister Ooliba saw this, she was mad with lust more than she: and she carried her fornication beyond the fornication of her sister.

Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻa hono tehina ko ʻAholipa, naʻa ne hoko ʻo fakalielia lahi hake ia ʻi heʻene holi kovi pea lahi hake ʻae fai feʻauaki ʻaʻana ʻi he feʻauaki ʻa hono taʻokete.

12 Impudently prostituting herself to the children of the Assyrians, the princes, and rulers that came to her, clothed with divers colours, to the horsemen that rode upon horses, and to young men all of great beauty.

Naʻa ne ʻofa nanivi ki he kau ʻAsilia, ko hono kaunga nofoʻanga, ʻae ngaahi ʻeikitau mo e kau pule naʻe kofu fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻae kau tangata naʻe heka hoosi, ko e kau talavou toulekeleka kotoa pē ʻakinautolu.

13 And I saw that she was defiled, and that they both took one way.

Pea naʻaku toki mamata kuo fakalieliaʻi ia, pea naʻa na tatau pe ʻi heʻena anga;

14 And she increased her fornications: and when she had seen men painted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans set forth in colours,

Pea naʻe tupu pe ʻa ʻene fai angahala: he naʻa ne sio leva ki he fakatātā tangata naʻe tohi ʻi he holisi fale, ʻae fakatātā ki he kau Kalitia naʻe tohi ʻaki ʻae enga kulokula,

15 And girded with girdles about their reins, and with dyed turbans on their heads, the resemblance of all the captains, the likeness of the sons of Babylon, and of the land of the Chaldeans wherein they were born,

Kuo nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae noʻo ʻa honau kongaloto, pea lahi ʻae teunga pulepule ʻi honau ʻulu, ʻo matamata ʻeiki kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻae kau Papilone ʻi Kalitia, ko e fonua naʻa nau fānau ʻi ai:

16 She doted upon them with the lust of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them into Chaldea.

Pea ʻi heʻene mamata leva ki ai ʻaki hono mata, naʻa ne manako ki ai, ʻo ne fekau ʻae kau talafekau kiate kinautolu ki Kalitia.

17 And when the sons of Babylon were come to her to the bed of love, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was glutted with them.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau Papilone kiate ia ki hono mohenga, ʻonau fakalielia ia ʻi heʻenau fai angahala, pea naʻe fakalielia ia ʻiate kinautolu, pea naʻe tafoki hono loto meiate kinautolu.

18 And she discovered her fornications, and discovered her disgrace: and my soul was alienated from her, as my soul was alienated from her sister.

Ko ia naʻa ne fakahā ai ʻene angahala mo ne fakahā ʻene telefua: ko ia naʻe tafoki ai hoku loto ʻoʻoku meiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e tafoki hoku loto mei hono tokoua.

19 For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

Ka naʻa ne fakalahi pe ʻene feʻauaki, ʻi heʻene fakamanatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene kei siʻi, ʻaia naʻa ne fai fakaangahala ai ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.

20 And she was mad with lust after lying with them whose flesh is as the flesh of asses: and whose issue as the issue of horses.

He naʻa ne ʻofa nanivi ki heʻenau ʻofa, ʻakinautolu ʻoku tatau honau kakano mo e kakano ʻoe ʻasi, pea tatau ʻae meʻa ʻoku haʻu mei ai mo ia ʻoku haʻu mei ha hoosi.”

21 And thou hast renewed the wickedness of thy youth, when thy breasts were pressed in Egypt, and the papa of thy virginity broken.

Naʻe pehē ʻa hoʻo manatuʻi ʻae fai fakalielia ʻa hoʻo kei siʻi, ʻi he fāʻufua ʻe he kau ʻIsipite ʻae mataʻi huhu ʻo hoʻo kei finemui.

22 Therefore, Ooliba, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will raise up against thee all thy lovers with whom thy soul hath been glutted: and I will gather them together against thee round about.

“Ko ia, ʻE ʻAholipa, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, te u langaʻi hake ho kau mamana ke tuʻu kiate koe, ʻakinautolu kuo tafoki ho loto mei ai, pea te u fakaʻefi koe ʻiate kinautolu mei he potu kotoa pē,

23 The children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, the nobles, and the kings, and princes, all the sons of the Assyrians, beautiful young men, all the captains, and rulers, the princes of princes, and the renowned horsemen.

‌ʻAe kau Papilone, mo e kau Kalitia kotoa pē, ʻa Pikote, mo Soa, mo Koa, fakataha mo e kau ʻAsilia kotoa pē: ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ko e kau talavou toulekeleka, ʻae ngaahi ʻeikitau mo e kau pule, ʻae houʻeiki lahi mo ongoongo, ʻoku heka hoosi kotoa pē ʻakinautolu.

24 And they shall come upon thee well appointed with chariot and wheel, a multitude of people: they shall be armed against thee on every side with breastplate, and buckler, and helmet: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee by their judgments.

Pea te nau haʻu kiate koe mo e saliote mo e meʻa teka, mo e ngaahi teka, pea mo e fuʻu kakai tokolahi, ʻakinautolu ʻe tuʻu ʻaki kiate koe ʻae nonoʻo, mo e pā, pea mo e tatā ki he tau: pea te u tuku ʻae fakamaau kiate kinautolu, pea te nau fakamaauʻi koe ʻo faʻifaʻiteliha pe ki ai ʻakinautolu.

25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, which they shall execute upon thee with fury: they shall cut off thy nose and thy ears: and what remains shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons, and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be devoured by fire.

Pea ʻe ʻi ai hoku fuaʻa kiate koe, pea te nau fai fakamanavahē kiate koe: te nau motuhi ho ihu, pea mo ho telinga; pea ʻe mate ho toenga kakai ʻi he heletā: te nau ʻave hoʻo ngaahi tama mo hoʻo ngaahi taʻahine; pea ʻe fakaʻauha mālie ʻaki ʻae afi ʻa hono toe.

26 And they shall strip thee of thy garments, and take away the instruments of thy glory.

Te nau toʻo foki ho ngaahi kofu meiate koe, mo ʻave hoʻo ngaahi teunga lelei.

27 And I will put an end to thy wickedness in thee, and thy fornication brought out of the land of Egypt: neither shalt thou lift up thy eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.

‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku ngaohi ke tuku ʻa hoʻo fai fakalielia, mo hoʻo feʻauaki naʻe haʻu mo koe mei ʻIsipite: ko ia ʻe ʻikai toe sio ho mata kiate kinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke toe manatu ki ʻIsipite.”

28 For thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hands of them whom thou hatest, into their hands with whom thy soul hath been glutted.

He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Vakai te u tukuange koe ki he nima ʻonautolu ʻoku ke fehiʻa ki ai, ki he nima ʻonautolu kuo tafoki mei ai ho loto:

29 And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and they shall take away all thy labours, and shall let thee go naked, and full of disgrace, and the disgrace of thy fornication shall be discovered, thy wickedness, and thy fornications.

Pea te nau ngaohi koe ʻi he fehiʻa lahi, pea te nau ʻave ʻae fua kotoa pē ʻa hoʻo ngāue, pea te nau tuku koe ke ke telefua mo masiva: pea ʻe fakatelefuaʻi ʻa hoʻo fai angahala, ʻio, ʻa hoʻo fakalielia mo hoʻo feʻauaki kotoa pē.

30 They have done these things to thee, because thou hast played the harlot with the nations among which thou wast defiled with their idols.

Pea te u fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate koe, koeʻuhi kuo ke holi ke angahala mo e hiteni, pea koeʻuhi kuo ke fakalielia ʻaki koe ʻa honau ngaahi tamapua.

31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister, and I will give her cup into thy hand.

Kuo ke ʻeveʻeva koe ʻi he hala ʻo ho tokoua; ko ia te u ʻange ai ki ho nima ʻa ʻene ipu ʻaʻana.”

32 Thus saith the Lord God: Thou shalt drink thy sister’s cup, deep, and wide: thou shalt be had in derision and scorn, which containeth very much.

“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ‘Te ke inu ke loloto mo lahi mei he ipu ʻa ho tokoua: ʻe kata manuki ʻaki koe, pea ʻe luma ʻaki koe; ʻoku lahi ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻi ai.

33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness, and sorrow: with the cup of grief, and sadness, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.

“Te ke fonu koe ʻi he kona mo e mamahi, ʻi he ipu ʻoe fakaofo mo e fakaʻauha, ʻae ipu ʻa ho tokoua ko Samēlia.

34 And thou shalt drink it, and shalt drink it up even to the dregs, and thou shalt devour the fragments thereof, thou shalt rend thy breasts: because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

‌ʻIo, te ke inu ia mo mimisi ia ke maha, pea te ke maumau ia, mo motuhi ʻaki ia ho huhu pe ʻoʻou:’ ko au Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ‘kuo u lea ki ai.’

35 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast forgotten me, and hast cast me off behind thy back, bear thou also thy wickedness, and thy fornications.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Koeʻuhi kuo ke fakangaloʻi au, mo ke lī atu au ki ho tuʻa, ko ia ia te ke fua ai ʻa hoʻo fakalielia mo hoʻo ngaahi feʻauaki.”

36 And the Lord spoke to me, saying: Son of man, dost thou judge Oolla, and Ooliba, and dost thou declare to them their wicked deeds?

Naʻe pehē foki ʻe Sihova kiate au; “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe ʻikai te ke fakamaauʻi ʻa ʻAhola mo ʻAholipa? ʻIo, fakahā ki ai ʻena fai fakalielia;

37 Because they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and they have committed fornication with their idols: moreover also their children, whom they bore to me, they have offered to them to be devoured.

Kuo na fai ʻae tono tangata, pea ʻoku pani toto ʻa hona nima, pea kuo na fai angahala mo hona ngaahi tamapua, pea kuo na puleʻi ʻae fānau tangata naʻa na fanauʻi kiate au, ke ʻalu atu ʻi he afi ke nau ʻauha.

38 Yea, and they have done this to me. They polluted my sanctuary on the same day, and profaned my sabbaths.

Kaeʻumaʻā ko au ia kuo na fai ki ai ʻae meʻa ni: kuo na fakaʻuliʻi hoku fale tapu ʻi he ʻaho pe taha, mo na maumauʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu.

39 And when they sacrificed their children to their idols, and went into my sanctuary the same day to profane it: they did these things even in the midst of my house.

He naʻe hili ʻae tāmate ʻenau fānau ki hona ngaahi tamapua, pea na omi foki ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia ki hoku fale tapu ke fakalieliaʻi ia; pea, vakai, kuo pehē pe ʻena fai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoku fale ʻoʻoku.

40 They sent for men coming from afar, to whom they had sent a messenger: and behold they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, and didst paint thy eyes, and wast adorned with women’s ornaments.

Pea mo eni foki, naʻa ke ʻave ha fekau ki he kau tangata mei he mamaʻo, ʻaia ne ʻalu ki ai ʻae fekau; pea vakai, naʻa nau haʻu: ʻakinautolu naʻa ke kaukau ai koe, mo ke vali ho mata, mo ke teuteu ʻaki koe ʻae ngaahi teunga;

41 Thou sattest on a very fine bed, and a table was decked before thee: whereupon thou didst set my incense, and my ointment.

Pea ke nofo ki he nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki, mo e palepale naʻe teuteu ʻi hono ʻao, ʻaia naʻa ke ai ki ai ʻa ʻeku meʻa namu kakala mo ʻeku lolo ʻaʻaku.

42 And there was in her the voice of a multitude rejoicing: and to some that were brought of the multitude of men, and that came from the desert, they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads.

Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae leʻo ʻoe fuʻu tokolahi naʻe fakafiefia mo ia: pea naʻe ʻomi fakataha mo e fuʻu tokolahi ʻae kau Sapea mei he toafa, ʻakinautolu ʻoku faʻa ʻai ʻae vesa ki honau nima, mo e pale lelei ki honau ʻulu.

43 And I said to her that was worn out in her adulteries: Now will this woman still continue in her fornication.

Pea u toki pehē ai kiate ia naʻe motuʻa pe mo e fai angahala, He te nau fai angahala eni mo ia, pea fai ʻe ia mo kinautolu?

44 And they went in to her, as to a harlot: so went they in unto Oolla, and Ooliba, wicked women.

Ka naʻa nau hū atu kiate ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻalu ki ha fefine feʻauaki: naʻe pehē ʻenau ʻalu atu kia ʻAhola mo ʻAholipa ʻae ongo fefine fakalielia.

45 They therefore are just men: these shall judge them as adulteresses are judged, and as shedders of blood are judged: because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

Pea ʻe fakamaau ʻakinaua ʻe he kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻo taau mo ia kuo tono tangata, pea tatau mo e fefine kuo lilingi toto; he ko e ongo tono tangata ʻakinaua, pea ʻoku ʻi hona nima ʻae toto.”

46 For thus saith the Lord God: Bring a multitude upon them, and deliver them over to tumult and rapine:

He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: “Te u ʻomi ha kakai kiate kinaua, pea te u tukuange ʻakinaua ke fetukutukuʻi mo maumauʻi.

47 And lee the people stone them with stones, and let them be stabbed with their swords: they shall kill their sons and daughters, and their houses they shall burn with fire.

Pea ʻe lisingi ʻaki ʻakinaua ʻae maka ʻe he kakai, pe tui ʻaki ʻenau heletā; te nau tāmateʻi ʻena fānau tangata mo ʻena fānau fefine, pea tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻa honau fale.

48 And I will take away wickedness out of the land: and all women shall learn, not to do according to the wickedness of them.

‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku fakangata ʻae fai fakalielia mei he fonua, koeʻuhi ke ako ʻaki ia ki he kau fefine kotoa pē, ke ʻoua naʻa fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo mo fakalielia.

49 And they shall render your wickedness upon you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols: and you shall know that I am the Lord God.

Pea te nau totongi kiate kimoua ʻa hoʻomo fakalielia, pea te mo fua ʻekimoua ʻae hia ʻa hoʻomo tauhi tamapua; pea te mo ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
