Ezekiel 11
1 And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of Yahweh which looketh eastward, and lo! in the opening of the gate, twenty-five men, —and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah princes of the people.
I hapainga ake ano ahau e te wairua, a kawea ana e ia ki te keti ki te rawhiti o te whare o Ihowa, ki tera e anga ra ki te rawhiti. Na i te kuwaha o te keti e rua tekau ma rima nga tangata; a i kite ahau i roto i a ratou i a Iaatania tama a Aturu raua ko Peratia tama a Penaia, he rangatira no te iwi.
2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, These, are the men who are devising iniquity, and who are counselling wicked counsel in this city;
Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ko nga tangata enei e whakaaro ana i te kino, e whakatakoto ana i te tikanga he i roto i tenei pa:
3 who are saying, Not near! let us build houses, — It, is the caldron, and, we, are the flesh!
E ki ana, kahore ano i tata te wa e hanga whare ai: ko tenei pa te kohua, ko tatou te kikokiko.
4 Therefore, prophesy against them, —prophesy. Son of man.
Mo reira poropititia te he mo ratou; poropititia, e te tama a te tangata.
5 Then fell upon me the Spirit of Yahweh, and he said unto me Say—Thus, saith Yahweh, Thus have ye said O house of Israel, Yea, the things that come up on your spirit, I, know every one.
Na ka tau te wairua o Ihowa ki ahau, a ka mea ki ahau, Ki atu, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ko ta koutou korero tenei, e te whare o Iharaira: na, ko na mea e puta ake ana i o koutou wairua, mohio tonu ahau.
6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, - And have filled her streets with slain.
Kua whakatokomahatia e koutou a koutou tupapaku ki tenei pa, kua whakakiia ano e koutou ona huarahi ki te tupapaku.
7 Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Your slain. whom ye have laid in her midst, They are the flesh, and She is the caldron, —when ye are taken out of her midst.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ko a koutou tupapaku kua hinga nei i a koutou ki waenganui o tenei pa, ko ratou te kikokiko, ko tenei pa te kohua: ko koutou ia ka whakaputaina atu i waenganui o konei.
8 A sword, have ye feared, — And a sword, will I bring in upon you, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
I wehi koutou i te hoari; ka kawea mai ano e ahau te hoari ki a koutou, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
9 So will I take you forth out of her midst, and will deliver you into the hand of foreigners, —and will execute upon you judgments.
Ka whakaputaina atu ano koutou e ahau i waenganui o konei, ka hoatu ki te ringa o te tangata ke, ka mahia ano e ahau he whakawa i waenganui i a koutou.
10 By the sword, shall ye fall, Upon the boundary of Israel, will I judge you, —So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
Ka hinga koutou i te hoari; ka whakawakia koutou e ahau ki te rohe o Iharaira, a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa, ahau.
11 This city shall not serve you for a caldron, Neither shall, ye, serve in the midst thereof for flesh, —Near the boundary of Israel, will I judge you,
E kore tenei pa e waiho hei kohua mo koutou, e kore ano hoki koutou e waiho hei kikokiko mo roto; ka whakawakia koutou e ahau ki te rohe o Iharaira;
12 So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh. In whose statutes, ye have not walked And whose appointments, ye have not executed, — But according to the appointments of the nations that are round about you, have ye done.
A ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau; kihai hoki koutou i haere i runga i aku tikanga, a kihai i mahia e koutou aku whakaritenga, engari i rite tonu a koutou mahi ki nga ritenga a nga iwi i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha o koutou.
13 And it came to pass as I prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died, —so then I fell down upon my face and made outcry with a loud voice and said— Alas! My Lord Yahweh! A full end, art thou making of the remnant of Israel?
Na i ahau e poropiti ana, ka mate a Peratia tama a Penaia. Katahi ahau ka tapapa ki raro, he nui toku reo ki te karanga, i mea ahau, Aue, e te Ariki, e Ihowa! ka poto rawa ranei i a koe nga morehu o Iharaira?
14 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying:
I puta mai ano te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea ia,
15 Son of man Thine own brethren, thine own brethren the men of thy kindred, even all the house of Israel all of it are they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far away from Yahweh, To us, it is that the land, hath been given, for a possession!
E te tama a te tangata, ko ou tuakana, ko ou teina, ko ou whanaunga, ko te whare katoa ano o Iharaira, rupeke, rupeke, ko ratou enei, kua ki mai nei nga tangata o Hiruharama ki a ratou, kia matara atu i a Ihowa; kua homai tenei whenua ki a matou hei kainga tupu:
16 Therefore, say, Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, Although I have removed them far away among the nations, And although I have dispersed them throughout the lands Yet have I become to them a sanctuary for a little while, in the lands which they have entered
Mo reira me ki atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ahakoa i maka atu ratou e ahau ki tawhiti, ki roto ki nga iwi, ahakoa i whakamararatia ratou e ahau ki nga whenua, ka ai ano ia ahau hei wahi tapu mo ratou i nga whenua e tae ai ratou mo te wa nohinohi nei.
17 Therefore say, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Therefore will I assemble you from among the peoples, And gather you out of the lands wherein ye have been dispersed, - And will give you the soil of Israel.
Mo reira me ki atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ka kohikohia koutou e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ka huihuia ano i nga whenua i whakamararatia ai koutou, ka hoatu ano e ahau te oneone o Iharaira ki a koutou.
18 So shall they come in thither, — and take away all her detestable things, and all her abominations, out of her;
Ka tae ano ratou ki reira, ka whakakahoretia ano e ratou nga mea whakarihariha katoa o reira, me nga mea anuanu o reira.
19 And I will give them another heart, And a new spirit, will I put within you, —And will take away the heart of stone out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh:
Ka hoatu ano e ahau he ngakau kotahi ki a ratou, ka hoatu ano he wairua hou ki a koutou; ka tangohia ano e ahau te ngakau kohatu i o ratou kikokiko, a ka hoatu he ngakau kikokiko ki a ratou:
20 To the end that in my statutes, they may walk, And mine appointments, they may keep, and do them, — So shall they become my people, And I will become their God.
Kia haere ai ratou i runga i aku tikanga, kia puritia ai aku whakaritenga, mahia iho: a waiho tonu iho ratou hei iwi maku, ko ahau ano hei Atua mo ratou.
21 But as for them who having a heart for their detestable things and for their abominations after their own heart, do walk, Their way upon their own heads, will I render, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Ko te hunga ia kei te whai nei o ratou ngakau i te ngakau o a ratou mea whakarihariha, o a ratou mea anuanu, ka utua e ahau o ratou ara ki runga ki o ratou mahunga, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
22 Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, the wheels also going in unison with them, — the glory of the God of Israel, being over them above.
Katahi ka ara nga parirau o nga kerupima, a ko nga wira i to ratou taha; i runga ano hoki te kororia o te Atua o Iharaira i a ratou, i te taha ki runga.
23 Thus went up the glory of Yahweh, out from the midst of the city, —and stood on the mountain, which is on the east of the city.
Na ka kake te kororia o Ihowa i roto i te pa, tu rawa ki runga ki te maunga ki te taha ki te rawhiti o te pa.
24 And, the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to Chaldea unto them of the captivity, in the vision by the Spirit of God, —thus went up from me, the vision which I had seen.
Muri iho ka hapainga ahau e te wairua, he mea i roto i te whakakitenga, na te wairua o te Atua, ki Karari, ki nga whakarau. Heoi ka kake atu i ahau te kitenga i kitea e ahau.
25 So I spake unto them of the captivity, —all the words of Yahweh which he had shewed me.
Na korerotia ana e ahau ki nga whakarau nga mea katoa i whakakitea ki ahau e Ihowa.
