Ehekiera 16

1 I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,

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

2 E te tama a te tangata, meinga a Hiruharama kia mohio ki ana mea whakarihariha,

Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,

3 Mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, ki Hiruharama: Ko tou take, ko tou wahi i whanau ai koe, ko te whenua o te Kanaani: ko te Amori tou papa, a ko tou whaea he Hiti.

And say, This is what the Lord has said to Jerusalem: Your start and your birth was from the land of the Canaanite; an Amorite was your father and your mother was a Hittite.

4 Na, ko tou whanautanga, i te ra i whanau ai koe, kihai tou uho i tapahia, kihai ano koe i horoia ki te wai kia ma ai; kihai rawa ano koe i meatia ki te tote, kihai rawa i takaia.

As for your birth, on the day of your birth your cord was not cut and you were not washed in water to make you clean; you were not salted or folded in linen bands.

5 Kihai tetahi kanohi i aroha ki a koe, kihai i meatia ki a koe tetahi o enei mea, he mahi tohu ki a koe; heoi he mea maka atu koe ki te mata o te parae, he mea whakarihariha hoki tou tinana i te ra i whanau ai koe.

No eye had pity on you to do any of these things to you or to be kind to you; but you were put out into the open country, because your life was hated at the time of your birth.

6 Na, i toku haerenga atu ma tou taha, a ka kite ahau i a koe e oke ana i roto i ou toto, ka mea atu ahau ki a koe, Ahakoa kei roto koe i ou toto, e ora; ae ra, i mea atu ahau ki a koe, Ahakoa kei roto koe i ou toto, e ora.

And when I went past you and saw you stretched out in your blood, I said to you, Though you are stretched out in your blood, have life;

7 I meinga ano koe e ahau kia tini, kia rite ki nga tupu o te mara; heoi kua tokomaha koe, kua nui, kua tae ano koe ki nga whakapaipai ataahua; kua pupuku ou u kua tupu ou makawe; i mua hoki e noho tahanga ana koe, kahore he kakahu.

And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.

8 Na, i toku haerenga atu i tou taha, ka kite ahau i a koe, na he wa no te aroha te wa i a koe; na hipokina iho e ahau te remu o toku ki runga ki a koe, uhia ana koe e ahau, i a koe e noho tahanga ana; ae ra, oati ana ahau ki a koe, uru ana taua ki te kawenata, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, a riro mai ana koe i ahau.

Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.

9 Katahi ka horoia koe e ahau ki te wai; ae ra, ata horoia atu ana e ahau ou toto i a koe; a pania ana koe e ahau ki te hinu.

Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.

10 Ko taku kakahu mou he mea whakairo; ko aku hu mou he hiako kekeno; ko taku whitiki mou he rinena pai; hipokina ana koe e ahau ki te hiraka.

And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.

11 He mea whakapaipai ano koe naku ki te whakapaipai, whakanohoia ana e ahau he poroporo ki ou ringa, he hei ki tou kaki.

And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.

12 I kuhua ano e ahau he mowhiti ki tou ihu, he whakakai ki ou taringa, he karauna ataahua ki tou mahunga.

And I put a ring in your nose and ear-rings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

13 Heoi kua oti koe te whakapaipai ki te koura, ki te hiriwa; he rinena pai ano hoki tou kakahu, he hiraka, he mea whakairo hoki; i kai koe i te paraoa pai, i te honi, i te hinu; nui atu tou ataahua, kake ana koe hei kingitanga.

So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.

14 Paku ana tou ingoa ki nga iwi, he ataahua nou; i tino pai rawa hoki, he honore hoki noku i tukua atu e ahau ki a koe, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.

15 Otiia whakawhirinaki ana koe ki tou ataahua, kairau ana koe, he whakaaro hoki nou ki tou ingoa, ringihia ana e koe ou kairautanga ki te tangata e haere atu ana i tou taha; i a ia tena.

But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.

16 I tikina atu ano e koe etahi o ou kakahu, a mahia ana e koe au wahi tiketike, kotingotingo rawa, hei kairautanga mou: e kore he pena e puta a mua, e kore ano e pena.

And you took your robes and made high places for yourself ornamented with every colour, acting like a loose woman on them, without shame or fear.

17 I tikina ano e koe au mea whakapaipai, he koura naku, he hiriwa naku, ko aku i hoatu ra ki a koe, a hanga ana e koe etahi whakapakoko tane mau, hei kairautanga mou.

And you took the fair jewels, my silver and gold which I had given to you, and made for yourself male images, acting like a loose woman with them;

18 I tikina ano e koe ou kakahu whakairo, hei hipoki mo ratou, hoatu ana e koe taku hinu, me taku whakakakara ki to ratou aroaro.

And you took your robes of needlework for their clothing, and put my oil and my perfume before them.

19 Ko taku kai hoki, i hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ko te paraoa pai, ko te hinu, ko te honi i whangaia ai koe e ahau, hoatu ana ano tera e koe ki to ratou aroaro hei kakara reka, a koia ano tera; e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord.

20 I tikina ano e koe au tama me au tamahine, a taua whanau, patua iho e koe hei kai ma ratou. He iti ianei ou kairautanga,

And you took your sons and your daughters whom I had by you, offering even these to them to be their food. Was your loose behaviour so small a thing,

21 I patua ai e koe aku tamariki, i tukua atu ai ratou, i meatia ratou kia haere na roto i te ahi ki a ratou?

That you put my children to death and gave them up to go through the fire to them?

22 Na i au mea whakarihariha katoa, i ou kairautanga, kihai koe i mahara ki nga ra o tou tamahinetanga, i a koe e noho tahanga ana, kahore he kakahu, i a koe i oke ra i roto i ou toto.

And in all your disgusting and false behaviour you had no memory of your early days, when you were uncovered and without clothing, stretched out in your blood.

23 Na i muri i tou he katoa; aue, te mate mou, aue, te mate mou! e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa,

And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,

24 Kei te hanga koe i te whare tairanga mou, mahia ana e koe he wahi tiketike mou i nga waharoa katoa.

That you made for yourself an arched room in every open place.

25 Kua hanga ano e koe tau wahi tiketike ki nga ahunga katoa o nga ara, meinga ana e koe tou ataahua kia whakariharihangia, whewhera tonu ou waewae ki nga tangata e haere ana i tou taha, whakamaha ana e koe tou kairautanga.

You put up your high places at the top of every street, and made the grace of your form a disgusting thing, opening your feet to everyone who went by, increasing your loose ways.

26 Kua kairau ano koe ki nga Ihipiana, ki ou hoa tata, he hunga kikokiko nui; whakamaha ana e koe tou kairautanga, hei whakapataritari i ahau.

And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.

27 Na reira, nana, kua totoro atu toku ringa ki runga ki a koe, kua whakaititia ano e ahau nga kai i rite mau, a hoatu ana koe e ahau ki ta ou hoariri i pai ai, ki nga tamahine a nga Pirihitini, e whakama nei ki tou ara puremu.

Now, then, my hand is stretched out against you, cutting down your fixed amount, and I have given you up to the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines who are shamed by your loose ways.

28 I kairau ano koe ki nga Ahiriana, he kore hoki nou e ngata; ina, kairau ana koe ki a ratou, otiia kihai koe i ngata.

And you went with the Assyrians, because of your desire which was without measure; you were acting like a loose woman with them, and still you had not enough.

29 Kua whakamaha ano e koe ou kairautanga ki te whenua o Kanaana a Karari atu ana; heoi kihai ano i ngata i tenei.

And you went on in your loose ways, even as far as the land of Chaldaea, and still you had not enough.

30 Ano te ngoikore o tou ngakau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, i tau mahinga i enei mea katoa, he mahi na te wahine kairau, na te mea taikaha;

How feeble is your heart, says the Lord, seeing that you do all these things, the work of a loose and overruling woman;

31 I tau hanganga i tou whare tairanga ki te ahunga mai o nga ara katoa, i tau mahinga i tau wahi tiketike ki nga waharoa katoa; kihai tau i rite ki ta te wahine kairau, e whakahawea ana hoki koe ki te utu;

For you have made your arched room at the top of every street, and your high place in every open place; though you were not like a loose woman in getting together your payment.

32 He wahine moe hoa, i puremu! e tuku mai ana i nga tangata ke ehara nei i te hoa nona!

The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!

33 E hoatu ana e ratou he mea ki nga wahine kairau katoa: ko koe ia e hoatu ana i ou taonga ki te hunga katoa e hiahia ana ki a koe, a utua ana ratou e koe, he mea kia haere mai ai ratou ki a koe i nga taha katoa ki ou kairautanga.

They give payment to all loose women: but you give rewards to your lovers, offering them payment so that they may come to you on every side for your cheap love.

34 He rere ke hoki tau i ta etahi wahine i ou kairautanga, ina kahore tetahi e aru ana i a koe, kairau ai: i te mea hoki ka hoatu e koe he utu, a kahore he utu e homai ki a koe, na ka rere ke tau.

And in your loose behaviour you are different from other women, for no one goes after you to make love to you: and because you give payment and no payment is given to you, in this you are different from them.

35 Mo reira whakarongo, e te wahine kairau, ki te kupu a Ihowa.

For this cause, O loose woman, give ear to the voice of the Lord:

36 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa. Na kua ringihia atu na tou weriweri, kua kitea ano koe e noho tahanga ana i ou kairautanga ki te hunga i hiahia ki a koe; a he mea ki au whakapakoko whakarihariha katoa, ki te toto hoki o au tamariki i hoatu na e koe ki a ratou;

This is what the Lord has said: Because your unclean behaviour was let loose and your body uncovered in your loose ways with your lovers and with your disgusting images, and for the blood of your children which you gave to them;

37 Mo reira ka huihuia katoatia e ahau te hunga katoa i hiahia ki a koe, au i ahuareka ai, ratou ko te hunga katoa i aroha ai koe, ko te hunga katoa hoki i kino ai koe; ina, ka huihuia ratou e ahau ki a koe i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha ka whakakite a ano koe e ahau ki a ratou e noho tahanga ana, kia kite ai ratou i ou wahi katoa e takoto kau ana.

For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.

38 Na ko taku whakawa i a koe ka rite ki te whakawa o nga wahine kua takahi i te ture marena, o nga wahine kua whakaheke toto; a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe te toto o te weriweri, o te hae.

And you will be judged by me as women are judged who have been untrue to their husbands and have taken life; and I will let loose against you passion and bitter feeling.

39 Ka tukua ano koe e ahau ki to ratou ringa, a ka whakahoroa e ratou tou whare tairanga, ka wahia au wahi tiketike; ka huia atu ano ou kakahu, ka tangohia au mea whakapaipai, a ka waiho koe kia noho tahanga ana, kahore he kakahu.

I will give you into their hands, and your arched room will be overturned and your high places broken down; they will take your clothing off you and take away your fair jewels: and when they have done, you will be uncovered and shamed.

40 Ka kawea mai ano e ratou he ropu hei whawhai ki a koe, a ka akina koe ki te kohatu, ka werohia ki a ratou hoari, puta rawa.

And they will get together a meeting against you, stoning you with stones and wounding you with their swords.

41 Ka tahuna ano e ratou ou whare ki te ahi, ka mahia ano he whakaritenga ki a koe i te tirohanga a nga wahine tokomaha; a ka meinga e ahau kia mutu ou kairautanga, e kore ano he utu e hoatu e koe a muri ake nei.

And they will have you burned with fire, sending punishments on you before the eyes of great numbers of women; and I will put an end to your loose ways, and you will no longer give payment.

42 Heoi ka ngata i kona toku riri ki a koe, ka tahuri atu toku hae i a koe, a ka ata noho ahau, e kore ano e riri ki a koe a muri ake nei.

And the heat of my wrath against you will have an end, and my bitter feeling will be turned away from you, and I will be quiet and will be angry no longer.

43 No te mea kihai koe i mahara ki nga ra o tou taitamahinetanga, heoi whakaporeareatia ana ahau e koe ki enei mea katoa; mo reira tenei ahau te hoatu nei i tou tikanga ki runga ki tou mahunga, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa; e kore ano tenei weriweri e honoa iho e koe ki au mea whakarihariha katoa.

Because you have not kept in mind the days when you were young, but have been troubling me with all these things; for this reason I will make the punishment of your ways come on your head, says the Lord, because you have done this evil thing in addition to all your disgusting acts.

44 Nana, ko te hunga katoa e korero ana i nga whakatauki, ko ta ratou whakatauki tenei mou, e mea nei, kei te whaea tonu te rite o tana tamahine.

See, in every common saying about you it will be said, As the mother is, so is her daughter.

45 Ko koe te tamahine a tou whaea, e anuanu ra ki tana tahu, ki ana tamariki hoki; a ko koe te teina o ou tuakana, i whakarihariha nei ki a raua tahu, ki a raua tamariki hoki: he Hiti to koutou whaea, he Amori to koutou papa.

You are the daughter of your mother whose soul is turned in disgust from her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters who were turned in disgust from their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

46 Na ko Hamaria tou tuakana, e noho nei i tou taha maui, ratou ko ana tamahine: a, ko tou teina, e noho na i tou taha matau, ko Horoma ratou ko ana tamahine.

Your older sister is Samaria, living at your left hand, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, living at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

47 Heoi kihai koe i haere i runga i o raua ara, kihai ano tau mahi i rite ki a raua mea whakarihariha; engari, me te mea nei he mea iti rawa tera, neke noa atu tou tutua i to ratou i ou ara katoa.

Still you have not gone in their ways or done the disgusting things which they have done; but, as if that was only a little thing, you have gone deeper in evil than they in all your ways.

48 E ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, kihai te mahi a tou teina, a Horoma, ratou ko ana tamahine i rite ki tau mahi, ki tau, ki ta au tamahine.

By my life, says the Lord, Sodom your sister never did, she or her daughters, what you and your daughters have done.

49 Nana, ko te he tenei o tou teina, o Horoma; he whakapehapeha i roto i a ia, i a ratou ko ana tamahine, he takapu ki i te taro, he ngakau warea i te nui taonga; kihai hoki ia i whakau ake i nga ringa o te ware, o te rawakore.

Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need.

50 A i whakakake ratou, i mahi hoki i te mea whakarihariha ki toku aroaro: no reira i unuhia atu ai ratou e ahau, kei taku i kite ai he pai.

They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.

51 Kihai hoki o Hamaria i rite ki te hawhe o ou hara; engari i whakanuia atu e koe au mea whakarihariha i a ratou, ka ai hoki au mea whakarihariha katoa i mahia e koe hei whakatika mo ta tou tuakana, mo ta tou teina.

And Samaria has not done half your sins; but you have made the number of your disgusting acts greater than theirs, making your sisters seem more upright than you by all the disgusting things which you have done.

52 Na ko koe, whakawaha e koe tou na whakama, nau na i whakatika tou teina, tou tuakana; na ou hara i hara ai koe, he nui atu nei te whakarihariha i o raua, ka nui atu to raua tika i tou: ae ra, kia numinumi hoki koe, kia waha i tou whakama, kua wh akatikaia na hoki e koe ta tou teina, ta tou tuakana.

And you yourself will be put to shame, in that you have given the decision for your sisters; through your sins, which are more disgusting than theirs, they are more upright than you: truly, you will be shamed and made low, for you have made your sisters seem upright.

53 Na ka whakahokia raua e ahau i te whakarau, a Horoma, me ana tamahine i te whakarau, a Hamaria me ana tamahine i te whakarau, ko ou whakarau i te whakarau, i roto i a ratou:

And I will let their fate be changed, the fate of Sodom and her daughters, and the fate of Samaria and her daughters, and your fate with theirs.

54 Kia mau ai ki a koe tou whakama, kia numinumi kau ai mo nga mea katoa i mea ai koe, i a koe ka waiho na hei whakamanawatanga mo ratou.

So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.

55 Ka hoki tou teina, a Horoma ratou ko ana tamahine, ki to ratou tu o mua, a ka hoki a Hamaria ratou ko ana tamahine ki to ratou tu o mua, ka hoki ano koutou ko au tamahine ki to koutou tu o mua.

And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will go back to their first condition, and Samaria and her daughters will go back to their first condition, and you and your daughters will go back to your first condition.

56 Kihai na hoki tou teina, a Horoma, i rangona i roto i tou mangai i te ra i tou whakakake,

Was not your sister Sodom an oath in your mouth in the day of your pride,

57 I te mea kiano tou he i hurahia, i te wa iara o te tawainga a nga tamahine a Hiria, a te hunga katoa i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, a nga tamahine a nga Pirihitini e whakahawea na ki a koe i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.

Before your shame was uncovered? Now you have become like her a word of shame to the daughters of Edom and all who are round about you, the daughters of the Philistines who put shame on you round about.

58 Kua mau ki a koe tou he, me au mea whakarihariha, e ai ta Ihowa.

The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.

59 Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Ko taku mahi ki a koe ka rite ki tau mahi; kua whakahawea na hoki koe ki te oati, whakataka ana e koe te kawenata.

For this is what the Lord has said: I will do to you as you have done, you who, putting the oath on one side, have let the agreement be broken.

60 Otiia ka mahara ano ahau ki taku kawenata ki a koe i nga ra o tou taitamahinetanga, ka pumau ano i ahau he kawenata ki a koe a ake ake.

But still I will keep in mind the agreement made with you in the days when you were young, and I will make with you an eternal agreement.

61 Hei reira ka mahara koe ki ou ara, ka whakama, ina riro i a koe ou tuakana, tou teina; a ka hoatu raua e ahau ki a koe hei tamahine, otiia ehara i te mea na tau kawenata.

Then at the memory of your ways you will be overcome with shame, when I take your sisters, the older and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not by your agreement.

62 Ka pumau ano i ahau taku kawenata ki a koe, a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau;

And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:

63 Kia mahara ai, kia numinumi kau ai koe, kia kaua ai hoki e puaki tou mangai i muri iho, mo tou whakama hoki; ina marie ahau ki a koe, ki nga mea katoa i mea ai koe, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.
