Ezekiela 11
1 A KAIKAI iho la ka uhane ia'u, a lawe ia'u i ka pukapa hikina o ko Iehova hale e nana ana ma ka hikina; aia hoi, ma ke pani o ka pukapa he iwakaluakumamalima kanaka, a iwaena o lakou ike aku la au ia Iaazania ke keiki a Azura, a me Pelatia ke keiki a Benaia, na'lii o na kanaka.
Then the Spirit picked me up and took me to the eastern entrance of the Lord's Temple. Twenty-five men were gathered there at the entrance. I recognized among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.
2 Alaila olelo mai la oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, eia na kanaka i kukakuka i ka mea ino, a haawi hoi i ka oleloao hewa iloko o keia kulanakauhale:
The Lord told me, “Son of man, it's these men who are making evil plans and giving bad advice to the people in this city.
3 Na mea olelo, Aole kokoke mai, e kukulu kakou i na hale: eia ka ipuhao nui, a o kakou ka io.
They're saying, ‘Is this the time for us to be building houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat inside it.’
4 Nolaila o wanana ku e ia lakou, e wanana, e ke keiki a ke kanaka.
So prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man!”
5 A haule mai la ka Uhane o Iehova, a olelo mai la ia'u, E olelo oe, Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei; Ua olelo oukou pela, e ka ohana a Iseraela: no ka mea, ua ike au i na mea a pau i komo iloko o ko oukou naau.
The Spirit of the Lord came upon me and told me to say: This is what the Lord says: “People of Israel, that's what you're saying! I know what you're thinking inside!
6 Ua hoonui oukou i ko oukou poe i hoomakeia iloko o keia kulanakauhale, a ua hoopiha oukou i kona mau alanui me na mea i make i ka pepohiia.
You murder more and more people in this city. You've filled its streets with the dead!
7 Nolaila ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, O ko oukou poe i make i ka pepehiia a oukou i hoomoe iho ai iwaenakonu ona, o lakou ka io, a o keia ka ipuhao nui; aka, e lawe ae au ia oukou iwaho, mai waenakonu ae ona.
So this is what the Lord God says: Those you've killed in this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I'm going to take you out of it.
8 O ka pahikaua ka oukou i makau ai; a o ka pahikaua ka'u e hooili ai maluna o oukou, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
You're afraid of being killed by the sword, so I will bring invaders with swords to attack you, declares the Lord God.
9 A e lawe ae au ia oukou mai waenakonu ae ona, a e haawi ia oukou i na lima o na malihini, a e hana au ma ka hoopai ana iwaena o oukou.
I'm going to take you out of the city and hand you over to foreigners, and I'm going to carry out my sentence against you.
10 A e haulo oukou i ka pahikaua; e hoopai au ia oukou ma ka palena o ka Iseraela; a e ike no oukou owau no Iehova.
You will be killed by the sword, and I will punish you right up to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
11 Aole e lilo keia i ipuhao nui no oukou, aole hoi oukou ka io iwaenakonu ona; aka, ma ka palena o ka Iseraela e hoopai aku ai au ia oukou.
The city won't be like a pot for you, and you won't be the meat inside it either. I will punish you right up to the borders of Israel.
12 A e ike oukou owau no Iehova; e ka poe hele ole ma ko'u mau kanawai, aole hana i ka'u mau oihana, aka, ua hana oukou mamuli o na oihana a na lahuikanaka e hoopuni ana ia oukou.
Then you will know that I am the Lord. For you didn't follow my rules and you didn't keep my laws. Instead you kept the laws of the nations around you.”
13 Eia kekahi, i kuu wanana ana, make iho la o Pelatia ke keiki a Benaia. Alaila moe iho au ilalo ke alo, a kahea aku la me ka leo nui, i aku la, Auwe, e Iehova ka Haku e! e hoopau io anei oe i ke koena o ka Iseraela?
While I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. I fell facedown on the ground and shouted loudly, “Lord God, are you going to completely destroy what's left of the people of Israel?”
14 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
A message from Lord came to me, saying,
15 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, o kou poe hoahanau, o kou poe hoahanau, o na kanaka hanauna on, a me ka ohana okoa o ka Iseraela, o lakou ka poe a ko Ierusalema i kauoha aku ai, E hoomamao loa aku oukou ia Iehova; no ka mea, ua haawiia mai keia aina no makou i waiwai ili.
“Son of man, your brothers, including your relatives, your fellow exiles, and all the other Israelites, are those the people of Jerusalem were referring to when they said, ‘They are far away from the Lord. This country was given to us and we are to own it.’
16 Nolaila e olelo oe, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; I kipaku hoi au ia lakou i kahi loihi aku mawaena o na lahuikanaka, a i hoopuehu hoi au ia lakou iwaena o na aina, e lilo no nae au i wahi keenakapu iki no lakou, i na aina e hiki ai lakou.
So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Even though I sent them far away to live among the foreign nations, scattering them among the different countries, I have been taking care of them for a while in the countries where they went.
17 Nolaila e olelo aku oe, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, E houluulu au ia oukou mai waena mai o na kanaka, a e hoakoakoa ia oukou mai loko mai o na aina i puehuia'i oukou, a e haawi aku au i ka aina o ka Iseraela ia oukou.
Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to gather you from the other nations and bring you back from the countries where you've been scattered, and I will return the country of Israel to you.
18 A e hele mai no lakou ilaila, a e lawe aku lakou i na mea i hoowahawahaia a pau ona, a me na mea i inainaia a pau ona mai laila aku.
When they come back, they are going to get rid of all its offensive idols and disgusting practices from the country.
19 A e haawi aku au ia lakou i ka naau hookahi, e haawi hoi au i uhane hou iloko o oukou, a e lawe aku au i ka naau pohaku mailoko aku o ka lakou io, a e haawi aku au i ka naau io ia lakou;
I will give them single-minded commitment and a whole new spirit. I will take away their hard-hearted attitude and replace it with one that is loving.
20 I hele lakou ma ko'u mau kanawai, a e malama hoi i ka'u mau oihana, a e hana hoi ia mau mea; a e lilo lakou i kanaka no'u, a owau hoi i Akua no lakou.
This way they can follow my rules, keep my regulations, and do what I say. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
21 Aka, o ka poe i hele ko lakou naau mamuli o ka naau o ko lakou mau mea i hoowahawahaia, a me ko lakou mau mea inainaia, e uku aku au i ko lakou aoao maluna o ko lakou poo iho, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
But for those who still choose to worship offensive idols and engage in disgusting practices, I will let them experience the consequences of their own actions, declares the Lord God.”
22 Alaila hapai ae la na keruba i ko lakou mau eheu, a me na huila ma ko lakou mau aoao; aia maluna o lakou ka nani o ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
Then the cherubim opened their wings and took off, with the wheels alongside them, and with the glory of the God of Israel above them.
23 A pii ae la ka nani o Iehova mai waenakonu aku o ke kulanakauhale, a kau ma ka mauna ma ka aoao hikina o ke kulanakauhale.
The glory of the Lord rose from inside the city and went over to the mountain to the east of the city.
24 A mahope iho kaikai ae la ka uhane, a lawe ia'u iloko o ka hihio ma ka Uhane o ke Akua i Kaledea i ka poe pio. A pii ae la ka hihio a'u i ike aku ai mai o'u aku la.
In the vision given to me by the Spirit of God, the Spirit picked me up and carried me back to Babylonia to where the exiles were. After the vision left me,
25 Alaila olelo aku au i ka poe pio i na mea a pau a Iehova i hoike mai ai ia'u.
I explained to the exiles everything the Lord had shown me.
