Ezekiel 3

1 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, eat what thou findest; eat this scroll, and go speak to the house of Israel.

Na ka ki mai ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, ko tau i kite ai kainga, kainga tenei pukapuka, ka haere, ka korero ki te whare o Iharaira.

2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that scroll.

Na kua hamama toku mangai, a meinga ana ahau e ia kia kai i taua pukapuka.

3 And he said to me, Son of man, cause thy stomach to eat, and fill thy body with this scroll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

I mea ano ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, kia kai tou kopu, kia ki ano hoki tou puku i tenei pukapuka ka hoatu nei e ahau ki a koe. Katahi ka kainga e ahau; na me te honi taua mea i roto i toku mangai te reka.

4 And he said to me, Son of man, depart, go to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.

Na ka mea ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, whakatika, haere ki te whare o Iharaira, korerotia aku kupu ki a ratou.

5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;

Ehara hoki i te mea e unga ana koe ki te iwi he tauhou tona reo, he pakeke ranei; engari ki te whare o Iharaira.

6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened to thee.

Ehara i te mea ki nga iwi maha he rere ke nei, he pakeke hoki to ratou reo, e kore nei koe e mohio ki a ratou kupu. He pono, ki te unga koe e ahau ki a ratou, kua whakarongo ratou ki a koe.

7 But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee; for they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.

E kore ia te whare o Iharaira e pai ki te whakarongo ki a koe; no te mea e kore ratou e pai ki te whakarongo ki ahau; he rae pakeke hoki to te whare katoa o Iharaira, he ngakau pakeke.

8 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.

Nana, kua oti tou mata te mea e ahau kia pakeke ki o ratou mata; tou rae kia pakeke ki o ratou rae.

9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

Kua oti tou rae te mea e ahau kia rite ki te kohatu tino maro, maro atu i te mata: kaua e wehi i a ratou, kaua hoki e pairi ina titiro ratou, ahakoa he whare whakakeke ratou.

10 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears.

I mea ano ia ki ahau, E te tama a te tangata, Ko aku kupu katoa ka korerotia e ahau ki a koe rongoatia ki tou ngakau, whakarangona mai ano e ou taringa.

11 And depart, go to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

Na whakatika, haere ki nga whakarau, ki nga tama a tou iwi, korero ki a ratou, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; ma ratou e rongo, ma ratou ranei e kore e rongo.

12 Then the spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.

Katahi ka hapainga ake ahau e te wairua, a ka rangona e ahau i muri i ahau he reo, he haruru nui e mea ana, Kia whakapaingia te kororia o Ihowa i tona wahi.

13 I heard also the noise of the wings of the living beings that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, and the noise of a great rushing.

I rongo ano ahau i te haruru o nga parirau o nga mea ora e pa ana tetahi ki tetahi, i te haruru ano o nga wira i to ratou taha, he haruru nui e ngateri haere ana.

14 So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.

Heoi ka hapainga ahau e te wairua, kahakina ana ahau e ia: a haere pouri ana ahau, me te pawera o toku wairua; a i kaha te ringa o Ihowa ki runga ki ahau.

15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there overwhelmed among them seven days.

Katahi ahau ka tae ki nga whakarau i Terapipi, e noho ra i te awa, i Kepara, ki te wahi hoki i noho ai ratou; a e whitu nga ra oku e noho ketekete ana i roto i a ratou.

16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Na i te mutunga o nga ra e whitu, ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki ahau, i mea ia,

17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

E te tama a te tangata, kua oti koe te mea e ahau hei kaitutei ma te whare o Iharaira. Na whakarongo ki te kupu o toku mangai, a ko koe hei kaiwhakatupato maku i a ratou.

18 When I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

Ki te mea ahau ki te tangata kino, Ko te mate kau mou; a ka kore koe e whakatupato i a ia, ka kore e korero, e whakatupato i taua tangata kino ki tona ara kino kia ora ai ia; ka mate taua tangata kino i runga i tona he; otiia ka rapua e ahau he utu mo ona toto i tou ringa.

19 Yet if thou shalt warn the wicked, and he will not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Engari ki te whakatupato koe i taua tangata kino, a ka kore ia e tahuri mai i tona kino, i tona ara kino, ka mate ia i runga i tona he; otiia kua ora i a koe tou wairua.

20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

Na ki te tahuri atu te tangata tika i tona tika, a ka mahia e ia te kino, a ka hoatu e ahau he tutukitanga waewae ki tona aroaro, ka mate ia: i te mea kihai koe i whakatupato i a ia, ka mate ia i runga i tona hara, e kore ano ana mahi tika i mah ia e ia e maharatia; otiia ka rapua e ahau he utu mo ona toto i tou ringa.

21 Nevertheless if thou shalt warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

Na ki te whakatupato koe i te tangata tika kia kaua te tangata tika e hara, a ka kore ia e hara, he pono ka ora ia, nona hoki i rongo ki te whakatupato, a ka ora tou wairua i a koe.

22 And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.

Na kua tae mai te ringa o Ihowa ki runga ki ahau; a ka mea ia ki ahau, Whakatika, haere ki te mania, a ka korero ahau ki a koe ki reira.

23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.

Katahi ahau ka whakatika, a haere ana ki te mania: na, ko te kororia o Ihowa i reira e tu ana, rite tonu ki te kororia i kitea e ahau ki te awa, ki Kepara, a tapapa ana ahau.

24 Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut thyself within thy house.

Katahi ka uru te wairua ki roto ki ahau, a ka meinga e ia oku waewae kia tu ki runga: na ka korero mai ia ki ahau, ka mea ki ahau, Haere, tutakina atu koe ki roto ki tou whare.

25 But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put cords upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:

Ko koe ia, e te tama a te tangata, nana, ka meatia iho e ratou he here ki a koe, a ka herea koe ki aua here, e kore ano koe e puta ki roto ki a ratou.

26 And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.

Ka meinga ano e ahau tou arero kia piri ki tou ngao, a ka wahangu koe, e kore ano koe e waiho hei kairiri mo to ratou he; no te mea he whare whakakeke ratou.

27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.

Otiia i te wa e korero ai ahau ki a koe ka whakatuwheratia e ahau tou mangai, a ka mea koe ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, Ko te tangata e rongo ana, mana e whakarongo; ko te tangata e kore e rongo, kaua ia e whakarongo: he wha re whakakeke hoki ratou.
