Ezekiel 20
1 And in the seuenth yeere, in the fift moneth, the tenth day of the moneth, came certaine of the elders of Israel to enquire of the Lord, and sate before me.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu, ʻi hono nima ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he māhina, naʻe haʻu ai ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli ke fakafehuʻi kia Sihova, pea naʻa nau nofo ʻi hoku ʻao.
2 Then came the worde of the Lord vnto me, saying,
Pea naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
3 Sonne of man, speake vnto the Elders of Israel, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Are ye come to enquire of me? as I liue, sayth the Lord God, when I am asked, I wil not answer you.
“Foha ʻoe tangata, lea ki he kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; kuo mou haʻu ke fakafehuʻi kiate au? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, Hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, ʻe ʻikai te u tali ha fakafehuʻi meiate kimoutolu.
4 Wilt thou iudge them, sonne of man? wilt thou iudge them? cause them to vnderstand the abominations of their fathers,
“ʻIkai te ke fakahalaia ʻakinautolu, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, ʻikai te ke fakahalaia ʻakinautolu? Fakaʻilo kiate kinautolu ʻae fakalielia ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai:
5 And say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, In the day when I chose Israel, and lift vp mine hand vnto the seede of the house of Iaakob, and made my selfe knowen vnto them in the land of Egypt, when I lift vp mine hand vnto them, and sayd, I am the Lord your God,
Pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻI he ʻaho ko ia naʻaku fili ʻa ʻIsileli, pea u hiki hake hoku nima ki he hako ʻoe fale ʻo Sēkope, pea naʻaku fakahā au kiate kinautolu ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi heʻeku hiki hake hoku nima kiate kinautolu, pea u pehē, Ko au, ko Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua;
6 In the day that I lift vp mine hand vnto them to bring them forth of the land of Egypt, into a land that I had prouided for them, flowing with milke and hony which is pleasant among all lands,
ʻI he ʻaho naʻaku hiki hake hoku nima kiate kinautolu, ke u ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ki ha fonua ne u fili mai moʻonautolu, naʻe fetāfeaki ai ʻae huʻahuhu mo e hone, ʻaia ko e fungani ʻi he fonua kotoa pē.
7 Then sayd I vnto them, Let euery man cast away the abominations of his eyes, and defile not your selues with the idols of Egypt: for I am the Lord your God.
Pea naʻaku toki pehē ai kiate kinautolu, Liʻaki atu ʻekimoutolu, ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ʻoku ne sio ki ai, pea ʻoua naʻa fakaʻuli ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻIsipite: Ko au ko Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua.
8 But they rebelled against me, and would not heare me: for none cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idoles of Egypt: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them, and to accomplish my wrath against them in the mids of the land of Egypt.
Ka naʻa nau angatuʻu kiate au, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo kiate au: naʻe ʻikai ke liʻaki taki taha ʻe he tangata, ʻae ngaahi fakalielia naʻa nau sio ki ai, pea naʻe ʻikai liakiʻi ʻekinautolu ʻae ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻIsipite: ko ia naʻaku pehē ai, te u lilingi atu hoku houhau kiate kinautolu, ke fai ʻeku houhau kiate kinautolu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite.
9 But I had respect to my Name, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whome they were, and in whose sight I made my selfe knowen vnto them in bringing them forth of the land of Egypt.
Ka naʻaku ngāue koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakalielia ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, ʻaia naʻa nau nofo ai, ʻakinautolu naʻaku fakahā au ʻi honau ʻao kiate kinautolu, ʻi heʻeku ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
10 Nowe I caried them out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wildernes.
Ko ia naʻaku pehē ai ke nau ʻalu atu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he toafa.
11 And I gaue them my statutes, and declared my iudgements vnto them, which if a man doe, he shall liue in them.
Pea naʻaku foaki kiate kinautolu ʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea u fakaʻilo kiate kinautolu ʻa hoku finangalo, ʻaia ka fai ʻe he tangata te ne moʻui moʻoni mei ai.
12 Moreouer I gaue them also my Sabbaths to be a signe betweene me and them, that they might knowe that I am the Lord, that sanctifie them.
Pea naʻaku foaki foki kiate kinautolu ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu, ko e fakaʻilonga kiate kinautolu mo au, ke nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻoku fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakinautolu.
13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wildernes: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall liue in them, and my Sabbaths haue they greatly polluted: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them in the wildernes to consume them,
Ka naʻe angatuʻu ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli kiate au ʻi he toafa: naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻalu ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea naʻa nau paetaku ki hoku finangalo, ʻaia ka fai ki ai ʻae tangata, te ne moʻui moʻoni mei ai; pea naʻe fakalieliaʻi lahi ʻaupito ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu: ko ia ne u pehē, te u lilingi hoku houhau kiate kinautolu ʻi he toafa, ke nau ʻauha ai.
14 But I had respect to my Name, that it shoulde not bee polluted before the heathen in whose sight I brought them out.
Ka naʻaku ngāue koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, ke ʻoua naʻa fakalieliaʻi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, ʻakinautolu naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ʻao.
15 Yet neuerthelesse, I lift vp mine hande vnto them in the wildernes that I would not bring them into the lande, which I had giuen them, flowing with milke and hony, which was pleasant aboue all landes,
Kaeʻumaʻā foki, naʻaku hiki hake hoku nima kiate kinautolu ʻi he toafa, koeʻuhi ke u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua naʻaku foaki kiate kinautolu ʻoku fetafeaki ai ʻae huʻahuhu mo e hone, ʻaia ko e fungani ʻi he fonua kotoa pē;
16 Because they cast away my iudgments, and walked not in my statutes, but haue polluted my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idoles.
Koeʻuhi naʻa nau paetaku ki hoku finangalo, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻalu ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, ka naʻa nau fakaʻuliʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu: he naʻe muimui honau loto ki honau ngaahi tamapua.
17 Neuerthelesse, mine eye spared them, that I would not destroye them, neither would I consume them in the wildernes.
Ka neongo ia, naʻe mamae hoku mata kiate kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fakaʻosiʻosi ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa.
18 But I said vnto their children in the wildernes, Walke ye not in the ordinances of your fathers, neither obserue their maners, nor defile your selues with their idoles.
Ka naʻaku pehē ki heʻenau fānau ʻi he toafa, ʻoua naʻa mou muimui ʻi he ngaahi fekau ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ki honau loto, pe te mou fakalieliaʻi ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻa honau ngaahi tamapua;
19 I am the Lord your God: walke in my statutes, and keepe my iudgements and doe them,
Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea tauhi ki hoku finangalo ke fai ki ai;
20 And sanctifie my Sabbaths, and they shall bee a signe betweene mee and you, that ye may knowe that I am the Lord your God.
Pea fakatapui ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu; pea ʻe tuku ia ko e fakaʻilonga kiate kimoutolu mo au, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo, ko au, ko Sihova, ko homou ʻOtua.
21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against mee: they walked not in my statutes, nor kept my iudgements to doe them, which if a man doe, hee shall liue in them, but they polluted my Sabbaths: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them, and to accomplish my wrath against them in the wildernes.
Ka neongo ia naʻe angatuʻu ʻae fānau kiate au: naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku fekau, pe te nau tauhi ki hoku finangalo, ke fai ki ai, ʻaia ka fai ʻe he tangata, te ne moʻui moʻoni mei ai; naʻa nau fakaʻuliʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu: ko ia ne u pehē ai, te u lilingi hoku houhau kiate kinautolu, ke fai ʻeku houhau kiate kinautolu ʻi he toafa.
22 Neuerthelesse I withdrew mine hand and had respect to my Name that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them foorth.
Ka naʻa mo ia, ne u taʻofi ki hoku nima, pea u ngāue koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, ke ʻoua naʻa fakalieliaʻi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, ʻakinautolu naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ʻao.
23 Yet I lift vp mine hande vnto them in the wildernes, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countreys,
Pea naʻaku hiki hake foki ʻa hoku nima kiate kinautolu ʻi he toafa, koeʻuhi ke u fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi hiteni, pea fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua;
24 Because they had not executed my iudgements, but had cast away my statutes and had polluted my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers idoles.
Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau fai hoku finangalo, ka naʻa nau manukiʻi ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau, mo nau fakaʻuliʻi ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea naʻe muimui ʻa honau mata ki he ngaahi tamapua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
25 Wherefore I gaue them also statutes that were not good, and iudgements, wherein they should not liue.
Ko ia naʻaku tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi fekau naʻe ʻikai lelei, mo e tuʻutuʻuni ʻe ʻikai te nau moʻui ai;
26 And I polluted them in their owne giftes in that they caused to passe by the fire all that first openeth ye wombe, that I might destroy them, to the ende, that they might know that I am ye Lord.
Pea naʻaku fakalieliaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau ngaahi feilaulau ʻanautolu, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau tuku ke ʻalu atu ʻi he afi ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei he manāva, koeʻuhi ke u fakatōkilalo ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova.
27 Therefore, sonne of man, speake vnto the house of Israel, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Yet in this your fathers haue blasphemed me, though they had before grieuously transgressed against me.
“Ko ia, foha ʻoe tangata, lea atu ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko e moʻoni, ko e meʻa eni kuo takuanoa au ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi kuo nau fai ʻae angahala kiate au.
28 For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hand to giue it to them, then they saw euery hie hill, and all the thicke trees, and they offred there their sacrifices, and there they presented their offering of prouocation: there also they made their sweete sauour, and powred out there their drinke offerings.
He naʻe hili ʻeku ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua, ʻaia naʻaku hiki hake ai hoku nima kiate kinautolu, ke u foaki ia kiate kinautolu, pea nau toki mamata ki hono ngaahi potu māʻolunga kotoa pē, mo e vao ʻakau matolu, pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi ai ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau, pea nau fai ʻi ai ʻae fakahouhau ʻi heʻenau ngaahi feilaulau: naʻe ngaohi foki ʻi ai ʻenau fakanamu kakala, ʻonau lilingi ʻi ai ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau inu.
29 Then I saide vnto them, What is the hie place whereunto ye goe? And the name thereof was called Bamah vnto this day.
Pea naʻaku toki lea kiate kinautolu, Ko e hā ʻae potu māʻolunga ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻalu ki ai? Pea ʻoku ui ia ko Pama, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
30 Wherefore, say vnto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God, Are ye not polluted after the maner of your fathers? and commit ye not whoredome after their abominations?
“Ko ia, lea ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; kuo mou fakalielia ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou ngaahi tamai? Pea ʻoku mou fai feʻauaki ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngaahi fakalielia?
31 For when you offer your giftes, and make your sonnes to passe through the fire, you pollute your selues with all your idoles vnto this day: shall I answere you when I am asked, O house of Israel? As I liue, saith the Lord God, I wil not answere you when I am asked.
He ka mou ka ʻatu hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau, pea ka mou ka tuku ke ʻalu atu ʻi he afi ʻa homou ngaahi foha, ʻoku mou fakalieliaʻi ʻakimoutolu mo homou ngaahi tamapua, ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni: pea ʻe fakafehuʻi au ʻekimoutolu, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, ʻe ʻikai te u tali haʻamou fakafehuʻi kiate au.
32 Neither shall that be done that commeth into your minde: for ye say, We wil be as the heathen, and as the families of the countreys, and serue wood, and stone.
Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi homou loto ke fai, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hoko ia, ʻaia ʻoku mou lea ʻaki, Te mau hangē ko e hiteni, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻi he ngaahi fonua, ʻoku tauhi ki he ʻakau mo e maka.
33 As I liue, saith the Lord God, I will surely rule you with a mightie hand, and with a stretched out arme, and in my wrath powred out,
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ʻoku ou moʻui, te u puleʻi moʻoni ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae nima mālohi, pea mo e nima kuo mafao, mo e lilingi atu ʻoe houhau.
34 And will bring you from the people, and will gather you out of the countreys, wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arme, and in my wrath powred out,
Pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai, pea te u tānaki ʻakimoutolu mei he ngaahi fonua kuo mou he ki ai, ʻaki ʻae nima mālohi mo e nima kuo mafao, pea mo e lilingi atu ʻoe houhau.
35 And I will bring you into the wildernes of the people, and there wil I pleade with you face to face.
Pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he ‘Toafa ʻoe Kakai,’ pea te ta fai mo koe ʻi ai ko e mata ki he mata.
36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wildernes of the lande of Egypt, so will I pleade with you, saith the Lord God.
Hangē ko ʻeku fai mo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi he toafa ʻoe fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻe pehē ʻa ʻeku fai mo kimoutolu,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
37 And I wil cause you to passe vnder the rod, and wil bring you into the bond of the couenant.
“Pea te u pule ke mou ʻalu atu ʻi he lolo vaʻa ʻakau, pea te u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ke mou puke ki heʻeku fuakava:
38 And I wil chuse out from among you the rebels, and them that transgresse against mee: I will bring them out of the land where they dwel, and they shall not enter into the lande of Israel, and you shall knowe that I am the Lord.
Pea te u fakamaʻa ʻakimoutolu mei ho kau angatuʻu mo kinautolu ʻoku fai angahala kiate au: Te u ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ʻoku nau ʻāunofo ai, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hū atu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.
39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God, Goe you, and serue euery one his idole, seeing that ye will not obey me, and pollute mine holy Name no more with your giftes and with your idoles.
Pea ko e meʻa kiate kimoutolu, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻAlu ʻakimoutolu, tauhi taki taha ki hono tamapua, ʻo fai ki mui foki, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo kiate au: kaeʻoua naʻa mou toe fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku huafa tāpuhā ʻi hoʻomou feilaulau, pea mo homou ngaahi tamapua.
40 For in mine holy mountaine, euen in the hie mountaine of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, and all in the lande, serue me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offrings and the first fruites of your oblations, with all your holy things.
Koeʻuhi ʻe tauhi au ʻe he fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi hoku moʻunga māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe māʻolunga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: te u maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi ai, pea te u ʻamanaki ʻi ai ki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau, mo e ʻinasi mei hoʻomou meʻa foaki, mo hoʻomou meʻa māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.
41 I will accept your sweete sauour, when I bring you from the people, and gather you out of the countreys, wherein ye haue bene scattered, that I may be sanctified in you before ye heathen.
Te u maʻu ʻakimoutolu mo hoʻomou namu kakala, ʻo kau ka ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai, pea tānaki ʻakimoutolu mei he ngaahi fonua ʻaia kuo mou hē ki ai, pea ʻe fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi au ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni.
42 And ye shall knowe, that I am the Lord, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hande to giue it to your fathers.
Pea te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka toe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ki he fonua ko ia, naʻaku hiki hake ai hoku nima, ke foaki ia ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.
43 And there shall ye remember your wayes, and all your workes, wherein ye haue bene defiled, and ye shall iudge your selues worthy to be cut off, for all your euils, that ye haue committed.
Pea te mou manatu ʻi ai ki homou ngaahi hala, pea mo hoʻomou faianga, ʻaia kuo mou fakalielia ai; pea te mou fehiʻa kiate kimoutolu ʻi homou ʻao pe ʻomoutolu, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi kovi ʻaia kuo mou fai.
44 And ye shall knowe, that I am the Lord, when I haue respect vnto you for my Names sake, and not after your wicked wayes, nor according to your corrupt workes, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
Pea te mou ʻilo, ko au, ko Sihova, ʻo kau ka ngāue kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko hoku huafa, ka ʻe ʻikai ke hangē ko homou ngaahi hala kovi, pe hangē ko hoʻomou fai fakalielia, ʻe fale ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
45 Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Pea naʻe hoko mai foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
46 Sonne of man, set thy face toward the way of Teman, and drop thy word toward the South, and prophecie towarde the forest of the fielde of the South,
“Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahanga ho mata ki he feituʻu tonga, pea tuku hoʻo lea ki he feituʻu tonga, pea ke kikite ki he vao ʻakau ʻoe ngoue ʻi he feituʻu tonga;
47 And say to the forest of the South, Heare the worde of the Lord: thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall deuoure all the greene wood in thee, and all the drie wood: the continuall flame shall not bee quenched, and euery face from the South to the North shall be burnt therein.
Pea lea ki he vao ʻakau ʻi he feituʻu tonga, Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova; ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, te u tutu ʻae afi ʻiate koe, pea ʻe maumau ai ʻae ʻakau mata kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate koe, mo e ʻakau mōmoa kotoa pē; ʻe ʻikai fuʻifuʻi ʻae afi ulo, pea ʻe mangia ai ʻae mata kotoa pē, mei he feituʻu tonga ʻo ʻalu ki he tokelau.
48 And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord haue kindled it, and it shall not bee quenched.
Pea ʻe mamata ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ko au, ko Sihova, kuo tutu ia; pea ʻe ʻikai fuʻifuʻi ia.”
49 Then saide I, Ah Lord God, they say of me, Doeth not he speake parables?
Pea naʻaku toki pehē ai, “ʻOiauē, ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua! ʻOku nau pehē kiate au, ‘ʻIkai ʻoku lea ia ʻi he fakatātā pe?’”
