Ezekiel 2
1 This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking. And he said to me: “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
I MAI la hoi oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e ku iluna oe ma kou mau wawae, a e olelo aku no au ia oe.
2 And after this was spoken to me, the Spirit entered into me, and he set me on my feet. And I heard him speaking to me,
A komo mai la ka uhane iloko o'u i kana olelo ana ia'u, a hooku ia'u ma ko'u mau wawae, a lohe au i ka mea olelo mai ia'u.
3 and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me. They and their fathers have betrayed my covenant, even to this day.
Olelo mai la hoi ia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ke hoouna aku nei au ia oe i na mamo a Iseraela, i ka lahuikanaka kipi i kipi ia'u; ua hana hewa lakou a me ko lakou mau makua ia'u a hiki i keia la.
4 And those to whom I am sending you are sons with a hard face and an unyielding heart. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’
No ka mea, he poe keiki maka oolea lakou a me ka naau paakiki, a e olelo aku oe ia lakou, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei.
5 Perhaps it may be that they will hear, and perhaps they may be quieted. For they are a provoking house. And they shall know that there has been a prophet in their midst.
A o lakou, ina lohe paha, a lohe ole paha, (no ka mea, he ohana kipi lakou, ) e ike no hoi lakou he kaula no ka iwaena o lakou.
6 But as for you, son of man, you should not fear them, and you should not dread their words. For you are among unbelievers and subversives, and you are living with scorpions. You should not fear their words, and you should not dread their faces. For they are a provoking house.
A o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, mai makau aku ia lakou, aole hoi i ka lakou mau olelo, ina he mau laau oioi a me ke kakalaioa kekahi me oe, a noho oe iwaena o na moohueloawa, mai noho a weliweli oe i ka lakou mau olelo, aole hoi i ko lakou mau helehelena, ina no he ohana kipi lakou.
7 Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.
A e olelo aku oe i ka'u mau olelo ia lakou, ina lohe lakou, a ina lohe ole lakou; no ka mea, he poe kipi loa lakou.
8 But as for you, son of man, listen to all that I say to you. And do not choose to be provoking, as that house is a provoker. Open your mouth, and eat whatever I give to you.”
Aka o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hoolohe mai i ka mea a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe; mai noho a kipi oe e like me kela ohana kipi, e oaka kou waha a e ai i ka mea a'u e haawi aku ai ia oe.
9 And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it.
A i ko'u nana ana, aia hoi, ua hoounaia mai kekahi lima ia'u; aia hoi, maloko ona he owili palapala;
10 And he spread it out before me, and there was writing on the inside and on the outside. And there were written in it lamentations, and verses, and woes.
A hohola mai la oia ia mea imua o ko'u alo; a ua kakauia maloko a mawaho, a ua kakania hoi malaila: NA KANIKAU, A ME KA UWE ANA, A ME KA POINO.
