Ezekiel 8

1 And in the sixt yere, in the sixt moneth, and in the fift day of the moneth, as I sate in mine house, and the Elders of Iudah sate before me, the hand of the Lord God fell there vpon me.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻi hono ono ʻoe taʻu, mo hono ono ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono nima ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he māhina, naʻaku nofo ʻi hoku fale, pea naʻe nofo ʻi hoku ʻao ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo Siuta, ne hoko mai kiate au ʻae nima ʻoe ʻOtua ko Sihova.

2 Then I beheld, and lo, there was a likenesse, as the appearance of fire, to looke to, from his loynes downeward, and from his loynes vpward, as the appearance of brightnes, and like vnto amber.

Pea ne u mamata, pea vakai, ko e meʻa ʻoku tatau mo e afi: ko e hā mai ʻa hono kongaloto ʻo fai ki lalo ko e afi; pea mei hono kongaloto ʻo fai ki ʻolunga naʻe ha ngingila, ʻo hangē ko e lanu ʻoe ʻamipa.

3 And he stretched out the likenes of an had, and tooke me by an hearie locke of mine head, and the Spirit lift me vp betweene the earth, and the heauen, and brought mee by a Diuine vision to Ierusalem, into the entry of ye inner gate that lieth toward the North, where remained the idole of indignation, which prouoked indignation.

Pea naʻe ʻai mai ʻae tatau ʻo ha nima, ʻo ne puke au ʻi hoku louʻulu; pea hiki au ʻe he laumālie ki he vahaʻa ʻo māmani pea mo e langi, ʻo ne ʻomi au ʻi he meʻa hā mai ʻae ʻOtua ki Selūsalema, ki he matapā ʻoe kātupa ki loto ʻaia ʻoku hanga ki he tokelau; ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae nofoʻanga ʻoe fakatātā ki he fuaʻa, ʻaia ʻoku fakatupu ʻae fuaʻa.

4 And beholde, the glorie of the God of Israel was there according to the vision, that I saw in the fielde.

Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo tatau mo ʻene hā mai naʻaku mamata ai ʻi he teleʻa.

5 Then saide he vnto mee, Sonne of man, lift vp thine eyes nowe towarde the North. So I lift vp mine eyes towarde the North, and beholde, Northward, at the gate of the altar, this idole of indignation was in the entrie.

Pea ne toki pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, hanga hake eni ho mata ki he potu fakatokelau.” Ko ia naʻaku fakahanga hoku mata ki he potu tokelau, pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fakatātā ʻoe fuaʻa ʻi hono potu fakatokelau ʻoe matapā ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, ʻi hono hūʻanga.

6 He said furthermore vnto me, Sonne of man, seest thou not what they doe? euen the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here to cause me to depart from my Sanctuarie? but yet turne thee and thou shalt see greater abominations.

Naʻa ne pehē foki kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻOku ke mamata ki he meʻa ʻoku nau fai? ʻIo, ʻae ngaahi fakalielia lahi ʻoku fai ʻi heni ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu mamaʻo atu mei hoku potu toputapu? Ka ke toe tangaki hake, pea te ke sio ki he ngaahi fakalielia ʻoku lahi hake.”

7 And he caused me to enter at the gate of the court: and when I looked, beholde, an hole was in the wall.

Pea naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he matapā ʻoe lotoʻā; pea ʻi heʻeku sio, vakai ko e ava naʻe ʻi he ʻā.

8 Then said he vnto me, Sonne of man, digge nowe in the wall. And when I had digged in the wall, beholde, there was a doore.

Pea ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ke ke keli ʻi he ʻā: pea ʻi heʻeku keli ʻi he ʻā, vakai ko e matapā.”

9 And he said vnto mee, Go in, and beholde the wicked abominations that they doe here.

Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Hū atu mo mamata ki he ngaahi kovi fakalielia ʻoku nau fai ʻi heni.”

10 So I went in, and sawe, and beholde, there was euery similitude of creeping thinges and abominable beasts and all the idoles of the house of Israel painted vpon the wall round about.

Ko ia naʻaku hū ki ai ʻo mamata; pea vakai naʻe tohi takatakai ki he holisi fale ʻae fakatātā ki he anga ʻoe meʻa totolo kotoa pē, mo e fanga manu fakalielia, pea mo e ngaahi tamapua kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli.

11 And there stoode before them seuentie men of the Ancients of the house of Israel, and in the middes of them stoode Iaazaniah, ye sonne of Shaphan, with euerie man his censour in his hand, and the vapour of the incense went vp like a cloude.

Pea tutuʻu ʻi honau ʻao ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitungofulu ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ʻi honau haʻohaʻonga naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa Sesania ko e foha ʻo Safani, pea taki taha ʻae tangata ʻene ʻaiʻanga afi ʻi hono nima; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae ʻao matolu ʻoe meʻa namu kakala.

12 Then saide hee vnto mee, Sonne of man, hast thou seene what the Ancients of the house of Israel do in the darke, euery one in the chamber of his imagerie? for they say, The Lord seeth vs not, the Lord hath forsaken the earth.

Pea naʻa ne toki pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, kuo ke mamata ki he meʻa ʻoku fai ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻe he tangata taki taha kotoa pē ʻi he ʻana ʻo ʻene meʻa fakatātā? He ʻoku nau pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai mamata ʻa Sihova kiate kitautolu; kuo siʻaki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa māmani.’”

13 Againe he saide also vnto me, Turne thee againe, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they doe.

Naʻa ne pehē foki kiate au, “Toe tangaki hake koe, pea te ke mamata ki heʻenau fai ʻae ngaahi fakalielia ʻoku lahi hake.”

14 And he caused me to enter into the entrie of the gate of the Lords house, which was toward the North: and beholde there sate women mourning for Tammuz.

Pea naʻe toki ʻave au ki he matapā ʻoe hūʻanga ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻaia naʻe tuʻu ki he tokelau: pea vakai, naʻe nofo ai ʻae kau fefine ʻoku tangi koeʻuhi ko Temuse.

15 Then saide hee vnto me, Hast thou seene this, O sonne of man? Turne thee againe, and thou shalt see greater abominations then these.

Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Kuo ke mamata ʻa eni, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata? Toe tangaki hake pea te ke sio ki he ngaahi fakalielia ʻoku lahi hake ʻi he meʻa ni.”

16 And he caused me to enter into the inner court of the Lordes house, and beholde, at the doore of the Temple of the Lord, betweene the porche and the altar were about fiue and twentie men with their backs toward the Temple of the Lord, and their faces towarde the East, and they worshipped the sunne, towarde the East.

Pea naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he lotoʻā ki loto, ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea vakai, naʻe ʻi he matapā ʻoe falelotu lahi ʻo Sihova ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe hūʻanga mo e feilaulauʻanga ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko uofulu ma toko nima naʻe fulituʻa ki he falelotu lahi ʻo Sihova, kae hanga honau mata ki he potu hahake; pea naʻa nau hū ki he laʻā ki he potu hahake.

17 The he said vnto me, Hast thou seene this, O sonne of man? Is it a small thing to the house of Iudah to commit these abominations which they do here? for they haue filled the land with crueltie, and haue returned to prouoke mee: and loe, they haue cast out stinke before their noses.

Pea naʻa ne pehē ai kiate au, “Kuo ke mamata ki he meʻa ni, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata? Ko e meʻa maʻamaʻa koā ki he fale ʻo Siuta ke nau fai ʻae ngaahi fakalielia ʻoku nau fai ʻi heni? He kuo nau fakafonu ʻae fonua ʻi he fakamālohi, mo nau tafoki ke fakatupu ʻeku houhau: pea vakai ʻoku nau ʻai ʻae vaʻa ki honau ihu.

18 Therefore will I also execute my wrath: mine eye shall not spare them, neither will I haue pitie, and though they crie in mine eares with a loude voyce, yet will I not heare them.

Ko ia foki te u ngāueʻaki ʻeau ʻae houhau lahi: ʻe ʻikai mamae ʻa hoku mata, pea ʻe ʻikai te u manavaʻofa: pea neongo ʻenau tangi ʻi hoku telinga ʻi he leʻo lahi, ʻe ʻikai te u fanongo kiate kinautolu.”
