< Jeremiah 48 >

1 Concerning Moab, thus saith ye Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Woe vnto Nebo: for it is wasted: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and afraide.
‌ʻOku folofola pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ki Moape; “ʻE malaʻia ʻa Nipo! He kuo maumau ia: kuo veuveuki mo kapa ʻa Kiliateimi: pea kuo maveuveu mo puputuʻu ʻa Misikapi.
2 Moab shall boast no more of Heshbon: for they haue deuised euill against it. Come, and let vs destroy it, that it be no more a nation: also thou shalt be destroyed, O Madmen, and the sworde shall pursue thee.
‌ʻE ʻikai toe fakaongolelei ʻa Moape: kuo nau fakakaukau kovi ki ai ʻi Hesiponi; ([ʻo pehē], ) ‘Ke tau tuʻusi ia ke ʻoua naʻa kei puleʻanga ia.’ Pea ʻe tuʻusi foki ʻa koe Matimena: ʻe tuli koe ʻe he heletā.
3 A voyce of crying shall be from Horonaim with desolation and great destruction.
Kuo ongo mai ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangi mei Holonaimi, ‘Ko e maumauʻi mo e fakaʻauha lahi.’
4 Moab is destroyed: her litle ones haue caused their crie to be heard.
Kuo fakaʻauha ʻa Moape; kuo tangi ke ongo ʻa hono kakai iiki.
5 For at the going vp of Luhith, the mourner shall goe vp with weeping: for in the going downe of Horonaim, the enemies haue heard a cry of destruction,
Koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻa Luiti te nau ʻalu hake mo e tangi maʻuaipē: he kuo fanongo ʻae fili ki he tangi ʻoe fakaʻauha ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻa Holonaimi.
6 Flee and saue your liues, and be like vnto the heath in the wildernesse.
Mou hola, pea fakahaofi hoʻomou moʻui, ka te mou hangē ko e ʻakau taʻehanolau ʻi he toafa.
7 For because thou hast trusted in thy workes and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken, and Chemosh shall goe forth into captiuitie with his Priestes and his princes together.
“He koeʻuhi kuo ke falala ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue, mo hoʻo ngaahi koloa, ʻe lavaʻi ai foki koe: pea ʻe ʻalu ki he fakapōpula ʻa Kimosi, mo ʻene kau taulaʻeiki mo hono houʻeiki fakataha.
8 And the destroyer shall come vpon all cities, and no citie shall escape: the valley also shall perish and the plaine shalbe destroyed as the Lord hath spoken.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻae tangata maumau ki he kolo kotoa pē, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hao ha kolo ʻe taha: ʻe malaʻia ʻae teleʻa, pea ʻe fakaʻauha mo e toafa, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.
9 Giue wings vnto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shalbe desolate, without any to dwell therein.
Foaki ʻae kapakau ki Moape, koeʻuhi ke ne hola ʻo ʻalu: he kuo lala hono ngaahi kolo, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke nofo ai.”
10 Cursed be he that doeth the worke of the Lord negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth backe his sword from blood.
“ʻE malaʻia ia ʻoku ne fai ʻae ngāue ʻa Sihova ʻi he kākā, pea ʻe malaʻia ia ʻoku taʻofi ʻene heletā mei he toto.
11 Moab hath bene at rest from his youth, and he hath setled on his lees, and hath not bene powred from vessell to vessell, neither hath he gone into captiuitie: therefore his taste remained in him and his sent is not changed.
“Kuo fakafiemālie ʻa Moape talu ʻene kei siʻi, pea kuo toka hifo ki hono takele, pea naʻe ʻikai fakatafe mei he ipu ki he ipu, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻave ia ki he fakapōpula: ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻiate ia hono ifo, pea ʻoku ʻikai fakakehe hono nanamu.
12 Therefore beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will send vnto him such as shall carie him away, and shall emptie his vessels, and breake their bottels.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia te u fekau ai ʻae kau fakahē, pea te nau fakahēʻi ia, pea fakatafe ʻene ngaahi ipu, pea maumau ʻenau ngaahi hina.
13 And Moab shalbe ashamed of Chemosh as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.
Pea ʻe mā ʻa Moape ia Kimosi, ʻo hangē ko e mā ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli ki Peteli ko honau falalaʻanga.
14 Howe thinke you thus, We are mightie and strong men of warre?
“Pea ʻoku fēfē hoʻomou lea pehē, ‘ʻOku mau mālohi ko e kau tangata mālohi ki he tau?’
15 Moab is destroyed, and his cities burnt vp, and his chose yong men are gone downe to slaughter, saith ye King, whose name is ye Lord of hostes.
Kuo maumau ʻa Moape, pea kuo ʻalu hake ia ʻi hono ngaahi kolo, pea kuo ʻalu hifo ki he tāmateʻi ʻa hono kau talavou kuo fili,” ʻoku pehē, ʻe he tuʻi, ʻaia ko hono huafa ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
16 The destruction of Moab is ready to come, and his plague hasteth fast.
“Kuo ofi ʻene hoko mai ʻae tuʻutāmaki ʻa Moape, pea ʻoku fakatoʻotoʻo mai ʻa hono mamahi.
17 All ye that are about him, mourne for him, and all ye that knowe his name, say, Howe is the strong staffe broken, and the beautifull rod!
Ko kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku nonofo mo ia, mou mamahi koeʻuhi ko ia, pea ko kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻilo hono hingoa, mou pehē, ‘ʻOiauē! ʻAe fesiʻi ʻae tokotoko mālohi, pea mo e vaʻa matamatalelei!’
18 Thou daughter that doest inhabite Dibon, come downe from thy glory, and sit in thirst: for the destroyer of Moab shall come vpon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holdes.
“Ke ke ʻalu hifo mei ho nāunau, pea nofo fieinua, ʻa koe ko e ʻofefine ʻaia ʻoku nofo ʻi Tiponi; he kuo hoko kiate koe ʻae maumau ʻo Moape, pea te ne fakaʻauha hoʻo ngaahi potu mālohi.
19 Thou that dwellest in Aroer, stand by the way, and beholde: aske him that fleeth and that escapeth, and say, What is done?
‌ʻA koe ʻoku ke nofo ʻi ʻAloeli, Ke ke tuʻu ʻi he veʻehala mo leʻo; pea fehuʻi kiate ia ʻoku hola, pea mo ia ʻoku hao, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā ʻae meʻa kuo fai?’
20 Moab is cofouded: for it is destroied: howle, and cry, tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is made waste,
Kuo veuveuki ʻa Moape; he kuo holoki hifo ia: mou tangilāulau pea tangi lahi, mou fakahā ia ʻi ʻAlanoni, kuo maumauʻi ʻa Moape.
21 And iudgement is come vpon the plaine countrey, vpon Holon and vpon Iahazah, and vpon Mephaath,
Kuo hoko ʻae tautea ki he fonua tokalelei; ki Holoni, mo Sehasa, pea mo Mefata.
22 And vpon Dibon, and vpon Nebo, and vpon the house of Diblathaim,
Pea mo Tiponi, mo Nipo, pea mo Petetipilateimi,
23 And vpon Kiriathaim, and vpon Beth-gamul, and vpon Beth-meon,
Pea mo Kiliateimi, mo Petekamuli, pea mo Petemioni,
24 And vpon Kerioth, and vpon Bozrah, and vpon all the cities of ye land of Moab farre or neere.
Pea mo Kiliote, mo Posila, pea ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ʻo Moape, pe ko e mamaʻo pe ko e ofi.
25 The horne of Moab is cut off, and his arme is broken, saith the Lord.
Kuo tuʻusi ʻae nifo ʻo Moape, pea kuo fesiʻi hono nima, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
26 Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himselfe against the Lord: Moab shall wallowe in his vomite, and he also shalbe in derision.
“Mou fakakona ia: he kuo ne fakahikihiki ʻe ia ia kia Sihova: ʻe fetafokifokiʻaki foki ʻa Moape ʻi heʻene lua, pea ʻe hoko ia foki ko e manukiʻanga.
27 For diddest not thou deride Israel, as though he had bene found among theeues? for when thou speakest of him, thou art moued.
‌ʻIkai naʻe hoko ʻa ʻIsileli ko e manukiʻanga kiate koe? Naʻe ʻilo ia mo e kau kaihaʻa? Koeʻuhi talu hoʻo lea ki ai, mo hoʻo hopohopo ʻi he fiefia.
28 O ye that dwell in Moab, leaue the cities, and dwell in the rockes, and be like the doue, that maketh her nest in the sides of the holes mouth.
Ko kimoutolu ʻoku nofo ʻi Moape, liʻaki ʻae ngaahi kolo, pea nofo ʻi he potu maka, pea mou hangē ko e lupe ʻoku ngaohi hono pununga ʻi he ngutu ʻoe luo.
29 We haue heard the pride of Moab (hee is exceeding proude) his stoutnesse, and his arrogancie, and his pride, and the hautinesse of his heart.
“Kuo tau fanongo ki he fielahi ʻa Moape, (ʻoku fakamanavahē ʻene fielahi) ko ʻene angahiki, mo e fieʻeiki, mo e fakamofutofuta, pea mo e laukau ʻo hono loto.
30 I know his wrath, saith ye Lord, but it shall not be so: and his dissimulatios, for they do not right.
Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻene ʻita ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne faʻa fai; ʻe ʻikai te ne lavaʻi ʻi heʻene ngaahi loi.
31 Therefore will I howle for Moab, and I will crie out for all Moab: mine heart shall mourne for the men of Kir-heres.
Ko ia te u tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko Moape, ʻio, te u tangi koeʻuhi ko Moape, kotoa pē; Te u mamahi koeʻuhi ko e kau tangata ʻo Kilihelesi.
32 O vine of Sibmah, I will weepe for thee, as I wept for Iazer: thy plants are gone ouer the sea, they are come to the sea of Iazer: ye destroyer is fallen vpon thy somer fruites, and vpon thy vintage,
‌ʻE vaine ʻo Sipima, te u tangi ʻaki ʻae tangi ʻo Sesa koeʻuhi ko koe: kuo ʻave ho huli ki tahi, ʻo aʻu ki he tahi ʻo Sesa: kuo hoko ʻae maumau ki ho ngaahi fua momoho, pea ki he fua ʻoe vaine.
33 And ioye, and gladnesse is taken from the plentifull fielde, and from the land of Moab: and I haue caused wine to faile from the winepresse: none shall treade with shouting: their shouting shall be no shouting.
Pea kuo mole ʻae fiefia mo e nekeneka mei he ngoue mahu, pea mei he fonua ʻo Moape; pea kuo u fakangata ʻae uaine ʻi he tataʻoʻanga uaine: ʻe ʻikai fai ha malamalaki ʻaki ʻae kalanga; ʻoku ʻikai ko e kalanga ʻenau kalanga.
34 From the cry of Heshbon vnto Elaleh and vnto Iahaz haue they made their noyse from Zoar vnto Horonaim, ye heiffer of three yere old shall go lowing: for ye waters also of Nimrim shalbe wasted.
‌ʻOku ongoʻi ʻae tangi mei Hesiponi ki ʻIliale, pea kuo ongo atu honau leʻo ʻo aʻu ki Sehasi, mei Soa ʻo aʻu ki Holonaimi, ʻo hangē ko e pulu mui kuo tolu taʻu ʻa ʻene motuʻa: koeʻuhi ʻe liakiʻi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo Nimilimi.”
35 Moreouer, I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offered in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Te u fakangata ʻi Moape, ʻaia ʻoku ne fai ʻae feilaulau ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea mo ia ʻoku tutu meʻa namu kakala ki hono ngaahi ʻotua.
36 Therefore mine heart shall sounde for Moab like a shaume, and mine heart shall sound like a shaume for the men of Ker-heres, because the riches that he hath gotten, is perished.
Ko ia ʻe tangi hoku loto ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fangufangu koeʻuhi ko Moape, pea ʻe tangi hoku loto ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fangufangu koeʻuhi ko e kau tangata ʻo Kilihelesi: koeʻuhi kuo ʻauha ʻae ngaahi koloa kuo ne maʻu.
37 For euery head shalbe balde, and euery beard plucked: vpon all the handes shall be cuttings, and vpon the loynes sackecloth.
Koeʻuhi ʻe tula ʻae ʻulu kotoa pē, pea ʻe kosi ʻae kava kotoa pē: pea ʻe ʻi he nima kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi tafa, pea mo e tauangaʻa ki he kongaloto.
38 And mourning shall be vpon all the house toppes of Moab and in all the streetes thereof: for I haue broken Moab like a vessell wherein is no pleasure, sayeth the Lord.
‌ʻE ai ʻae tangilāulau lahi, ʻi he funga ʻoe ngaahi fale kotoa pē ʻo Moape, pea ʻi hono ngaahi hala: he kuo u maumauʻi ʻa Moape ʻo hangē ko e ipu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai fiefia ki ai ha tokotaha,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
39 They shall howle, saying, How is he destroyed? howe hath Moab turned the backe with shame? so shall Moab be a derision, and a feare to all them about him.
Te nau tangi lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOiauē hono maumauʻi hifo ia! ʻOiauē ʻae fulituʻa mai ʻa Moape ʻi heʻene mā! ʻE hoko ʻa Moape ko e manukiʻanga, pea mo e meʻa fakailifia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai ia.”
40 For thus saith the Lord, Beholde, he shall flee as an eagle, and shall spread his wings ouer Moab.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; Vakai, te ne puna ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale, pea te ne mafao atu hono kapakau ki Moape.
41 The cities are taken, and the strong holdes are wonne, and ye mightie mens hearts in Moab at that day shalbe as ye heart of a woman in trauaile.
Kuo kapa ʻa Kiliote, pea kuo ilifia ai ʻae ngaahi potu mālohi, pea ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae loto ʻoe kau tangata mālohi ʻi Moape ʻo hangē ko e loto ʻoe fefine kuo langā.
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath set vp himselfe against the Lord.
Pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Moape, koeʻuhi ko e fakahikihiki ia kia Sihova.
43 Feare, and pit and snare shall be vpon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.
‌ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Moape, ʻe ʻiate koe ʻae ilifia, mo e luo, pea mo e tauhele.
44 He that escapeth from the feare, shall fall in the pit, and he that getteth vp out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring vpon it, euen vpon Moab, the yeere of their visitation, sayeth the Lord.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko ia ʻoku hola ʻi he manavahē te ne tō ki he luo; pea ko ia ʻe hao mei he luo ʻe moʻua ia ʻi he tauhele: he te u ʻomi kiate ia, ʻio, ki Moape, ʻae taʻu ʻo honau ʻaʻahi.
45 They that fled, stoode vnder the shadowe of Heshbon, because of the force: for the fire came out of Heshbon, and a flame from Sihon, and deuoured the corner of Moab, and the top of the seditious children.
“Naʻe tuʻu ʻi he malumalu ʻo Hesiponi ʻakinautolu naʻe hola ko e meʻa ʻi he mālohi: ka ʻe ʻalu atu ʻae afi mei Hesiponi, pea mo e ulo afi mei he loto Sihoni, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ai ʻae tuliki ʻo Moape, pea mo e tumuʻaki ʻoe ngaahi fonua fakamaveuveu.
46 Wo be vnto thee, O Moab: the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sonnes are taken captiues, and thy daughters led into captiuitie.
‌ʻE Moape, ʻe malaʻia ʻa koe! ʻoku malaʻia ʻae kakai ʻo Kimosi: he kuo ʻave fakapōpula ʻa ho ngaahi foha, pea kuo ʻalu foki ʻa ho ngaahi ʻofefine ki he fakapōpula.
47 Yet will I bring againe the captiuitie of Moab in the latter dayes, sayeth the Lord. Thus farre of the iudgement of Moab.
Ka ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Te u liliu ʻae fakapōpula ʻo Moape, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui.” Ko eni ʻae fakamaau ʻo Moape.
