Ezekiela 14
1 A LAILA hele mai kekahi mau luna kahiko o ka Iseraela, a noho iho imua o'u.
And there came to me men of the people of Israel, of the elders, and sat before me.
2 Hiki mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u i mai la,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
3 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ua kukulu keia poe kanaka i ko lakou mau kii iloko o ko lakou mau naau, a waiho iho i ko lakou mea hoowalewale i ka hewa imua o ko lakou alo; e ninauia mai anei au e lakou?
Son of man, these men have conceived their devices in their hearts, and have set before their faces the punishment of their iniquities: shall I indeed answer them?
4 Nolaila, e olelo aku oe ia lakou, a e i aku ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; O kela kanaka keia kanaka o ka ohana a Iseraela i kukulu i kona mau kii iloko o kona naau, a i waiho iho i kona mea hoowalewale i ka hewa imua o kona alo, a hele mai hoi i ke kaula; na'u na Iehova e hai aku i ka mea i hele mai e like me ka nui o kona poe kii;
Therefore speak to them, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; Any man of the house of Israel, who shall conceive his devices in his heart, and shall set the punishment of his iniquity before his face, and shall come to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him [according to the things] in which his mind is entangled,
5 I hopu au i ka ohana a Iseraela iloko o ko lakou naau iho, no ka mea, ua aea lakou mai o'u aku nei ma ko lakou mau kii.
that he should turn aside the house of Israel, according to their hearts that are estranged from me in their thoughts.
6 Nolaila e olelo aku oe i ka ohana a Iseraela, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; E mihi oukou, a e huli mai, mai ko oukou mau kii mai, a e hoohuli i ko oukou mau maka mai ko oukou mau mea e inainaia a pau.
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God, Be converted, and turn from your [evil] practices, and from all your sins, and turn your faces back again.
7 No ka mea, o kela mea keia mea o ka ohana a Iseraela, a o ka malihini e noho iki ana iloko o ka Iseraela, i hookaawale ia ia iho mai o'u aku nei, a kukulu hoi i kona mau kii iloko o kona naau, a waiho iho hoi i kona mea e hoowalewale ai i ka hewa imua o kona alo. a hele mai hoi i ke kaula e ninau mai no'u; na'u na Iehova e hai aku ia ia ma o'u iho no.
For any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who shall separate himself from me, and conceive his imaginations in his heart, and set before his face the punishment of his iniquity, and come to the prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the Lord will answer him, [according to the things] wherein he is entangled.
8 A e hooku e au i ko'u wahi maka i kela kanaka, a e hoolilo au ia ia i hoailona, a i hua olelo hoohiki; a e oki aku au ia ia mai waena aku o ko'u poe kanaka; a e ike no hoi oukou owau no Iehova.
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him desolate and ruined, and will cut him off from the midst of my people; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
9 A ina e puni ke kaula i kana olelo ana i kekahi mea, ua puni ia kaula ia'u ia Iehova. A e kikoo aku au i ko'u lima maluna ona, a e luku aku au ia ia mai waenakonu aku o ko'u poe kanaka ka Iseraela.
And if a prophet should cause to err and should speak, I the Lord have caused that prophet to err, and will stretch out my hand upon him, and will utterly destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
10 A e halihali lakou i ka hoopaiia o ko lakou hewa. E like ka hoopai ana i ke kaula me ka hoopai ana i ka mea i imi aku;
And they shall bear their iniquity according to the trespass of him that asks; and it shall be in like manner to the prophet according to the trespass:
11 I ole e auwana hou aku ka ohana a Iseraela mai o'u aku nei, i ole hoi e haumia hou me ko lakou lawehala ana, aka, e lilo lakou i poe kanaka no'u, a owau no hoi i Akua no, lakou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, and that they may no more defile themselves with any of their transgressions: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God, says the Lord.
12 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
13 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, i ka wa e hana hewa loa mai ai ka aina ia'u, e kikoo aku au i ko'u lima maluna iho ona, a e uhai au i ke kookoo o kana berena, a e hoouna aku au i ka wi maluna ona, a e oki aku i na kanaka me na holoholona mai ona aku la;
Son of man, if a land shall sin against me by committing a trespass, then will I stretch out my hand upon it, and will break its staff of bread, and will send forth famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast.
14 Ina o keia mau kanaka ekolu ka iloko ona, o Noa, Dauiela a me Ioba, o ko lakou mau uhane iho ka lakou e hoopakele ai ma ko lakou pono, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
And though these three men should be in the midst of it, Noe, and Daniel, and Job, they [alone] should be delivered by their righteousness, says the Lord.
15 Ina e hoohele ae au i na holoholona ino iwaena o ka aina, a oki loa ia lakou, a neoneo loa i ole ai e hele ae ke kanaka mawaena no ua poe holoholona la;
If again I bring evil beasts upon the land, and take vengeance upon it, and it be ruined, and there be no one to pass through for fear of the wild beasts:
16 Ina o keia mau kanaka ekolu ka iloko ona, ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aole lakou e hoopakele i na keikikane me na kaikamahine, o lakou wale no ke hoopakeleia, aka, e neoneo no ka aina.
and [if] these three men should be in the midst of it, [as] I live, says the Lord, neither sons nor daughters shall be saved, but these only shall be saved, and the land shall be destroyed.
17 A ina lawe au i ka pahikaua maluna o ka aina, a e olelo aku, E ka pahikaua, e hele oe mawaeua o ka aina; a oki aku au i na kanaka a me na holoholona mai ona aku la;
Or again if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Let the sword go through the land; and I cut off from them man and beast:
18 Ina o keia mau kanaka ekolu ka iloko ona, ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aole lakou e hoopakele i na keikikane, aole hoi i na kaikamahine; o lakou wale no ke hoopakeleia.
though these three men were in the midst of it, as I live, says the Lord, they shall not deliver sons or daughters, but they only shall be saved themselves.
19 A ina e hoouna au i ka mai ahulau i kela aina, a e ninini aku i ko'u huhu maluna ona me ke koko, e oki aku i kanaka pu me ka holoholona,
Or [if] again I send pestilence upon that land, and pour out my wrath upon it in blood, to destroy from off it man and beast:
20 Ina o Noa, Daniela a me Ioba ka iloko ona, ma ko'u ola ana, wahi a Iehova ka Haku, aole lakou e hoopakele i ke keikikane, aole hoi i ke kaikamahine; o ko lakou mau uhane iho ka lakou e hoopakele ai ma ko lakou pono.
and should Noe, and Daniel, and Job, be in the midst of it, [as] I live, says the Lord, there shall be left [them] neither sons nor daughters; [only] they by their righteousness shall deliver their souls.
21 No ka mea, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; E kela aku keia i ka wa e hoouna aku ai au i kuu mau mea hoopai kaumaha a eha maluna o Ierusalema, i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi, a me ka holoholona ino, a me ka mai auhulau, e oki aku mai laila aku i kanaka pu me ka holoholona.
Thus says the Lord, And if I even send upon Jerusalem my four sore judgments, sword, and famine, and evil beasts, and pestilence, to destroy from out of it man and beast;
22 Aka, eia hoi, e koe no ke koena iloko ona e laweia'e iwaho, o na keikikane a me na kaikamahine; aia hoi, e puka mai lakou io oukou la, a e ike oukou i ko lakou aoao a me ka lakou hana ana; a e hooluoluia oukou no ka ino a'u i hooili ae ai maluna o Ierusalema, no na mea a pau a'u i kau ai maluna ona.
yet, behold, [there shall be] men left in it, the escaped thereof, who [shall] lead forth of it sons and daughters: behold, they [shall] go forth to you, and you shall see their ways and their thoughts: and you shall mourn over the evils which I have brought upon Jerusalem, [even] all the evils which I have brought upon it.
23 A e hooluolu lakou ia oukou, aia ike oukou i ko lakou mau aoao a me ka lakou hana ana; a e ike oukou aole au i hana kumu ole i na mea a pau a'u i hana'i iloko ona, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
And they shall comfort you, because you shall see their ways and their thoughts: and you shall know that I have not done in vain all that I have done in it, says the Lord.
