Ezekiel 25

1 [Some time later, ] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]

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

2 “You human, turn toward where the Ammon people- [lives], and prophesy [what will happen to] them.

E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata ki nga tama a Amona, ka poropiti i te he mo ratou.

3 Say about them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “You shouted joyfully when my [in Jerusalem] was destroyed, and when the country/land of Israel was ruined, and when the people of Judah were (exiled/forced to go) [to Babylonia].

Mea atu hoki ki nga tama a Amona, Whakarongo ki te kupu a te Ariki a Ihowa; Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua mea mai na koe, Ha! ki toku wahi tapu i te mea e whakapokea ana; ki te oneone ano o Iharaira i te mea ka ururuatia, ki te wh are ano o Hura i a ratou ka riro ki te whakarau:

4 Therefore, I am going to allow you to be conquered by people [who will come] from the east. They will set up their tents in your country and live there. And they will eat the fruit from [fruit trees] and drink the [from your cattle].

Mo reira tenei ahau te hoatu nei i a koe hei kainga ki nga tamariki o te rawhiti, a ka whakaturia e ratou o ratou puni ki a koe, ka hanga ano o ratou kainga ki a koe: ka pau i a ratou au hua, ka inumia e ratou tau waiu.

5 I will [your capital city] Rabbah to become a pasture for camels, and the rest of Ammon to [only] a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”

Ka meinga ano e ahau a Rapa hei kainga kamera, me nga tama ano a Amona hei tapapatanga hipi: a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.

6 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “You clapped your [joyfully] and stomped your feet, and laughed because you despised [the people in] the land of Israel.

Ko te kupu hoki tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Na, kua papaki na ou ringa, kua takahi ou waewae, pau katoa tou ngakau ki te koa, he kino nou ki te whenua o Iharaira;

7 Therefore, I will use my power [MTY] against you, and I will enable [other] nations [conquer you and] take away your valuable possessions. I will destroy you completely [DOU], with the result that you no longer will be a nation. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”

Mo reira, na, kua totoro atu toku ringa ki a koe, a kua tukua koe e ahau hei pahuatanga ma nga iwi; ka hatepea atu koe e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ka huna ano koe e ahau i roto i nga whenua: ka whakangaromia koe e ahau; a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau.

8 This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “[The people of] [south of Ammon] and [the people of] [south of Moab despised Israel and] said, ‘The people [MTY] of Israel have [as unimportant] as all the other nations!’

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Kua mea nei a Moapa raua ko Heira, Nana, kua rite te whare o Hura ki nga iwi katoa;

9 Therefore, I will destroy the cities that protect the borders of Moab, starting at Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim, the finest cities in Moab.

Mo reira tenei ahau te mea nei kia takoto kau te taha o Moapa i nga pa, i ona pa i ona rohe, te kororia o te whenua, i Peteiehimoto, i Paarameono, i Kiriataima,

10 I will enable people from the east to conquer Moab and also to conquer Ammon. As a result, [I will cause that] Ammon will no longer be remembered by other nations.

Tae noa ki nga tama o te rawhiti, kia haere ki te whawhai ki nga tama a Amona, a ka tukua ratou e ahau hei kainga tupu, e kore ai e maharatia nga tama a Amona i roto i nga iwi.

11 I will also punish [the people of] Moab. When that happens, they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”

Ka mahia ano e ahau he whakawa ki a Moapa; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.

12 This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “[You people of] Edom are guilty of getting revenge on the people [MTY] of Judah.

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Na, kua mahia na e Eroma he he mo te whare o Hura, kua rapu utu, kua nui to ratou kino, kua rapu utu i a ratou;

13 Therefore this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'I will use my power against [the people of] Edom and will get rid of their men and their animals. I will ruin the land from Teman [region in central Edom] to Dedan [region in the south of Edom], and many of their men will be killed [their enemies] swords.'

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Ka totoro ano toku ringa ki a Eroma, ka hatepea atu nga tangata me nga kararehe o reira; ka meinga ano e ahau te ritenga atu o Temana hei ururua, ka hinga ano nga tangata, a tae atu ana ki Rerana, i te hoari.

14 The Israeli people will use their power [MTY] to get revenge on [the people of] Edom. They will show [the people of] Edom that I have been angry with them, and I will punish [MTY] them. The people of Edom will experience my getting revenge on them. Then they will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”

Ka tukua atu ano e ahau taku rapu utu ki a Eroma, ma taku iwi, ma Iharaira e mahi; ka meatia ano e ratou i roto i a Eroma nga mea e rite ana ki toku riri, ki toku weriweri; a ka mohio ratou ki taku rapu utu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

15 This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “The Philistia people-group wanted very much to get revenge [on the people of Judah]. They very maliciously wanted to destroy [Judah].

Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: He rapu utu nei te mahi a nga Pirihitini, he kino nei te ngakau i rapu utu ai ratou, he mea kia ngaro, he mauahara tuturu;

16 Therefore this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I am about to use my power [MTY] against the Philistia people. I will get rid of the Kereth people-group and all [those who live along] the coast of the [Mediterranean] Sea.

Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana ka totoro toku ringa ki nga Pirihitini, a ka hatepea atu e ahau nga Keretimi, ka huna ano e ahau nga morehu o te tahatai.

17 By the way I punish them, I will get great revenge on them and show that I am angry with them. And when I get revenge on them, they will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”

He nui hoki nga rapunga utu e mahia e ahau ki a ratou, weriweri rawa nga whakatupehupehunga; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau, ina tukua e ahau taku rapu utu ki a ratou.
