Ezekiel 32
1 Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Na, i te tekau ma rua o nga tau, i te tekau ma rua o nga marama, i te tuatahi o nga ra o te marama, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau; i mea,
2 “You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
E te tama a te tangata, kia ara tou tangi mo Parao kingi o Ihipa, mea atu hoki ki a ia, Ko tou rite kei te kuao raiona o nga iwi; otiia e rite ana koe ki te tarakona o nga moana: i kokiri mai ano koe me ou awa, pokarekare ana nga wai i ou waewae, poke ana i a koe o ratou awa.
3 But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka horahia e ahau taku kupenga ki runga ki a koe, he huihuinga hoki no nga iwi maha; a ka riro ake koe i a ratou i taku kupenga.
4 They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
Ka waiho ano koe e ahau ki runga ki te whenua, ka akiritia atu ano koe ki te mata o te parae, maku ano e mea kia nohoia koe e nga manu katoa o te rangi, kia makona ano nga kirehe o te whenua katoa i a koe.
5 I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
Ka takoto ano i ahau ou kikokiko ki runga ki nga maunga, ka whakakiia ano nga awaawa ki a koe e tiketike na.
6 I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
Ka whakamakukuria ano e ahau ki ou toto te whenua e kau na koe, a tutuki noa ki nga maunga; ka ki ano hoki nga awa i a koe.
7 When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
A ka oti koe te tinei e ahau, ka hipokina e ahau te rangi, ka whakapouritia ano hoki nga whetu o reira; ka hipokina e ahau te ra ki te kapua, e kore ano e titi te atarau.
8 I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
Na, ko nga whakamarama katoa e marama nei te rangi, ka whakapouritia e ahau ki runga ki a koe, ka hoatu ano e ahau he pouri ki runga ki tou whenua, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
9 And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
He maha ano nga iwi e mamae o ratou ngakau i ahau, ina meinga e ahau kia tae atu tou whakangaromanga ki nga iwi, ki nga whenua kihai i mohiotia e koe.
10 I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
Ina, he maha nga iwi e meinga e ahau kia ketekete ki a koe, ka nui ano te wehi o o ratou kingi, ina whakaaro ki a koe, ua wherikoriko taku hoari ki to ratou aroaro; hono tonu ano to ratou wiri, ia tangata, ia tangata, i te wehi mo tona oranga an o, i te ra e hinga ai koe.
11 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
No te mea ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Tera e tae atu te hoari a te kingi o Papurona ki a koe
12 I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
Ka meinga e ahau ou mano tini, te hunga nanakia o nga iwi, ratou katoa kia hinga i nga hoari a nga marohirohi: a ka pahuatia e ratou nga mea whakai o Ihipa, ka ngaro ano o reira mano tini katoa.
13 I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
Ka ngaro ano i ahau o reira kararehe katoa i te taha o nga wai maha; e kore ano e pokarekare i te wae tangata a muri ake nei, e kore ano e ngarungaru i te wae kararehe.
14 Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
Ko reira ahau mea ai i o ratou wai kia purata, ka meinga ano e ahau o ratou awa kia rite ki te hinu te rere, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
15 When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
Kia meinga e ahau te whenua o Ihipa hei ururua, a kore iho nga tini mea o te whenua, kia patua ano e ahau te hunga katoa e noho ana i reira, katahi ratou ka mohio ko Ihowa ahau.
16 That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
Ko te tangi tenei e tangihia ai ia e ratou, ka tangihia ia e nga tamahine a nga iwi: ka tangihia ia e ratou, ara a Ihipa ratou ko ona mano tini, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
17 On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Na, i te tekau ma rua o nga tau, i te tekau ma rima o nga ra o te marama, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea,
18 “You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
E te tama a te tangata, aue ki te mano tini o Ihipa, maka iho ratou, a ia, me nga tamahine a nga iwi nunui, ki nga wahi o raro rawa o te whenua, ratou ko te hunga e heke ana ki te rua.
19 Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
He ataahua rawa koe i a wai? heke iho, takoto tahi koutou ko te hunga kokotikore.
20 [Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
Ka hinga ratou ki waenga i te hunga i patua ki te hoari: kua tukua atu ia ki te hoari: toia atu me ona mano tini katoa.
21 In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)
Ka korero mai nga tangata kaha o nga marohirohi ki a ia i roto i te reinga, ratou ko ona kaiawhina: kua heke ratou ki raro, kei te takoto ratou, te korikori, ara nga kokotikore, he mea patu ki te hoari. (Sheol h7585)
22 [The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
Kei reira ano a Ahuru ratou ko tona hui katoa: ko ona urupa, kei tetahi taha ona, kei tetahi taha; he mea patu katoa, kua hinga i te hoari.
23 The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
Ko ona urupa, he mea mahi ki nga pito rawa o te rua; ko tona ropu ano kei tetahi taha o tona urupa, kei tetahi taha; he mea patu katoa ratou, kua hinga i te hoari, te hunga i puta ai te wehi ki te whenua o te hunga ora.
24 A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
Kei reira a Erama, ratou ko ona mano tini i tetahi taha o tona urupa, i tetahi taha; ko ratou katoa he mea patu, kua hinga i te hoari, he hunga kua heke kokotikore atu ki nga wahi o raro rawa o te whenua, he hunga i mea i to ratou wehi kia puta ki te whenua o te hunga ora; heoi kei te mau te whakama o ratou, o te hunga ano e heke ana ki te rua.
25 They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
Kua hanga te takotoranga mona ki roto ki te hunga i patua, mo ratou ano ko ona mano tini katoa: ko ona urupa kei tetahi taha ona, kei tetahi taha; he kokotikore ratou katoa, he mea patu ki te hoari: i puta hoki to ratou wehi ki te whenua o te hu nga ora, heoi kua mau te whakama o ratou, o te hunga ano e heke ana ki te rua: kua tukua atu ia ki roto ki te hunga i patua.
26 [Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
Kei reira a Meheke, a Tupara, ratou ko ona mano tini katoa; ko ona urupa kei tetahi taha ona kei tetahi taha, he mea kokotikore ratou katoa, he mea patu ki te hoari; i puta ano to ratou wehi i mua ki te whenua o te hunga ora.
27 They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)
E kore ano ratou e takoto i roto i nga marohirohi o nga kokotikore kua hinga, kua heke ki te reinga me a ratou patu ano o te whawhai: i whakatakotoria ano e ratou a ratou hoari ki raro i o ratou mahunga, a kei te mau o ratou kino ki o ratou when ua; ko te hunga hoki tena i wehi ai nga marohirohi o te whenua o te ora. (Sheol h7585)
28 You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
Otiia ka whatiia koe i roto i te hunga kokotikore, ka takoto tahi hoki koutou ko te hunga i patua ki te hoari.
29 People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
Kei reira a Eroma, ona kingi, ona rangatira katoa i tukua nei i runga i to ratou marohirohi ki roto ki te hunga i werohia e te hoari: ka takoto tahi ratou ko nga kokotikore, ratou ano ko te hunga e heke ana ki te rua.
30 All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
Kei reira nga ariki o te raki, ratou katoa, me nga Haironi katoa i heke nei i roto i te hunga i patua; whakama iho ratou i te wehi i tupu mai i to ratou marohirohi, a takoto kokotikore ana ratou i roto i te hunga i patua ki te hoari, me te mau t e whakama o ratou, o te hunga ano e heke ana ki te rua.
31 The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
E kite a Parao i a ratou, a ka whai whakamarietanga ki ana mano tini katoa i patua ki te hoari, a Parao ratou ko tana ope katoa, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
32 While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
No te mea kua tukua e ahau tona wehi ki te whenua o te hunga ora: a ka whakatakotoria ia ki roto ki te hunga kokotikore, ratou ko te hunga i patua ki te hoari, a Parao ratou ko ana mano tini, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.
