Ezekiel 13

1 And the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,

2 Sonne of man, prophecie against the prophets of Israel, that prophecie, and say thou vnto them, that prophecie out of their owne hearts, Heare the worde of the Lord.

“Foha ʻoe tangata, kikite ki he kau kikite ʻo ʻIsileli ʻoku kikite, pea ke pehē ʻe koe kiate kinautolu ʻoku kikite mei honau loto ʻonautolu pē, Mou fanongo ʻakimoutolu ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.”

3 Thus sayth the Lord God, Woe vnto the foolish Prophets that follow their owne spirit, and haue seene nothing.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ‘Malaʻia ki he kau kikite vale, ʻaia kuo muimui ki honau laumālie ʻonautolu pē, ka ʻoku ʻikai ke mamata ki ha meʻa!

4 O Israel, thy Prophets are like the foxes in the waste places.

‌ʻE ʻIsileli ʻoku tatau hoʻo kau kikite mo e fanga fokisi ʻi he toafa.

5 Ye haue not risen vp in the gappes, neither made vp the hedge for ye house of Israel, to stand in the battel in the daye of the Lord.

‌ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻalu hake ki he ngaahi ava, pe ngaohi ʻae ʻā ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke tuʻumaʻu ai ʻi he tau ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Sihova.

6 They haue seene vanitie, and lying diuination, saying, The Lord sayth it, and the Lord hath not sent them: and they haue made others to hope that they would cofirme the word of their prophecie.

Kuo nau mamata ki he vaʻinga mo e kikite loi! ʻI heʻenau pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova: ka naʻe ʻikai fekau ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova: pea kuo nau fakaʻamanaki ʻae niʻihi ki he fakamoʻoni ʻo ʻenau lea.

7 Haue ye not seene a vaine vision? and haue yee not spoken a lying diuination? ye say, The Lord sayth it, albeit I haue not spoken.

‌ʻIkai kuo mou mamata ki he meʻa hā mai ʻoku vaʻinga, pea ʻikai kuo mou lea ʻaki ʻae kikite loi ʻi hoʻomou pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; kae ʻosi ʻoku ʻikai te u lea au?”

8 Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, Because ye haue spoken vanytie and haue seene lyes, therefore beholde, I am agaynst you, sayth the Lord God,

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “Koeʻuhi kuo mou lea ʻaki ʻae vaʻinga, mo mamata ki he loi, ko ia, vakai, ko au ia ʻe fai mo kimoutolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

9 And mine hande shalbe vpon the Prophets that see vanity, and diuine lies: they shall not be in the assemblie of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel: and yee shall know that I am the Lord God.

Pea ʻe tō hoku nima ki he kau kikite ʻoku mamata ki he vaʻinga, mo nau kikite loi: ʻe ʻikai te nau kau ʻi he fakataha ʻo hoku kakai, pea ʻe ʻikai tohi ʻakinautolu ʻi he tohi ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hū ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; he te mou ʻilo ko au, ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua.

10 And therefore, because they haue deceiued my people, saying, Peace, and there was no peace: and one buylt vp a wall, and behold, the others daubed it with vntempered morter,

Koeʻuhi, ʻio, koeʻuhi kuo nau kākaaʻi ʻa hoku kakai, ʻi heʻenau pehē, Fiemālie; ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fiemālie; pea naʻe langa hake ʻe he tokotaha ʻae ʻā, pea vakai naʻe laku ki ai ʻae lahe taʻepipiki ʻe he niʻihi kehe.

11 Say vnto them which daube it with vntempered morter, that it shall fall: for there shall come a great showre, and I wil sende haylestones, which shall cause it to fall, and a stormie winde shall breake it.

Tala kiate kinautolu ʻoku laku ki ai ʻae lahe taʻepipiki, ʻe hinga ia: ʻe ai ʻae ʻuha lahi; pea ʻe tō hifo ʻakimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi maka lahi ʻoe ʻuha fefeka; pea ʻe hae ia ʻe he matangi mālohi.

12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not bee sayd vnto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye haue daubed it?

Vakai ʻoka hinga ʻae ʻā, ʻikai ʻe pehē ai kiate kimoutolu, Ko fē ia ʻae laku lahe ʻaia naʻa mou fai?”

13 Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, I will cause a stormie winde to breake foorth in my wrath, and a great showre shall bee in mine anger, and hailestones in mine indignation to consume it.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “ʻIo, ko au te u hae ia ʻaki ʻae matangi mālohi ʻi heʻeku houhau lahi: pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻita ʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻuha lahi, pea mo e ʻuha maka ke fakaʻosiʻosi ia ʻi heʻeku houhau lahi.

14 So I wil destroy the wall that ye haue daubed with vntempered morter, and bring it downe to the ground, so that the fundation thereof shalbe discouered, and it shall fal, and ye shalbe consumed in the middes thereof, and ye shall know, that I am the Lord.

‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku maumauʻi ki lalo ʻae ʻā ʻaia kuo mou laku ai ʻae lahe taʻepipiki, pea ʻe holoki hifo ia ki he kelekele; ʻio, naʻa mo hono tuʻunga ʻe hā ia, pea ʻe hinga ia, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakimoutolu ʻi loto ʻi ai: pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.

15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath vpon the wall, and vpon them that haue daubed it with vntempered morter, and will say vnto you, The wall is no more, neither the daubers thereof,

‌ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku fakahoko ʻeku houhau ki he ʻā, mo kinautolu

16 To wit, the Prophets of Israel, which prophesie vpon Ierusalem, and see visions of peace for it, and there is no peace, sayth the Lord God.

‌ʻAe kau kikite ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku kikite ki Selūsalema, pea ʻoku mamata ki he meʻa hā mai ʻoe fakamelino kiate ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai ha melino;” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

17 Likewise thou sonne of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesie out of their owne heart: and prophesie thou against them, and say,

“Ko eni foki, ʻa koe, foha ʻoe tangata, fakahangatonu ho mata ki he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo hoʻo kakai, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kikite mei honau loto ʻonautolu; pea ke kikite koe kiate kinautolu.

18 Thus sayth the Lord God, Woe vnto the women that sowe pillowes vnder al arme holes, and make vailes vpon the head of euery one that standeth vp, to hunt soules: will yee hunt ye soules of my people, and will yee giue life to the soules that come vnto you?

Pea ke lea, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua;’ Malaʻia ki he kau fefine ʻoku tuitui ʻae faakiʻanga ki he nima kotoa pē, mo ngaohi ʻae pūlou ki he ʻulu kehekehe ke tuli ʻae ngaahi laumālie! Te mou tuli koā ʻae laumālie ʻo hoku kakai, pea te mou fakamoʻui ʻae laumālie ʻoku haʻu kiate kimoutolu?

19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barly, and for pieces of bread to slay the soules of them that shoulde not dye, and to giue life to the soules that should not liue in lying to my people, that heare your lies?

Pea te mou fakalieliaʻi au ʻi hoku kakai, koeʻuhi ko ha falukunga ʻoe paʻale mo ha konga mā, ke tāmate ʻae laumālie ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻae laumālie ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke moʻui, ʻi hoʻomou loi ki hoku kakai ʻoku fanongo ki he loi?”

20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will haue to do with your pillowes, wherewith yee hunt the soules to make them to flie, and I will teare them from your armes, and will let the soules goe, euen the soules, that ye hunt to make them to flie.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Vakai ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki homou faakiʻanga ʻaia ʻoku mou tauhele ʻaki ʻae ngaahi laumālie; pea te u hae ia mei homou nima mo tukuange ʻae ngaahi laumālie, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi laumālie ʻoku mou tuli ke tauheleʻi.

21 Your vailes also will I teare, and deliuer my people out of your hande, and they shalbe no more in your hands to be hunted, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.

Te u haehae foki ʻa homou pūlou mo fakamoʻui ʻa hoku kakai mei homou nima, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau kei ʻi homou nima ke tauheleʻi; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.

22 Because with your lyes yee haue made the heart of the righteous sadde, whome I haue not made sad, and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not returne from his wicked way, by promising him life,

“Koeʻuhi kuo mou fakamamahiʻi ʻae loto ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻaki ʻae ngaahi loi, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fakamamahi; mo fakamālohi ʻae nima ʻoe angahala ke ʻoua naʻa foki ia mei hono hala kovi, ʻi hoʻomou tala moʻui ki ai:

23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanitie, nor diuine diuinatios: for I wil deliuer my people out of your hand, and ye shall know that I am ye Lord.

Ko ia ʻe ʻikai te mou toe mamata ki he vaʻinga, pe fai ʻae kikite: he te u fakamoʻui ʻa hoku kakai mei homou nima: pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
