Ezekiela 3

1 OLELO mai la hoi oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e ai oe i ka mea i loaa ia oe; e ai oe i keia owili, a e hele e olelo i ka ohana a Iseraela.

And he said unto me, Son of man, eat what thou findest: eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.

2 A oaka ae la kuu waha, a hanai mai la oia ia'u i kela owili.

So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat this roll.

3 A i mai la oia, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hanai oe i kou opu, a e hoopiha i kou mau naau i keia owili a'u e haawi nei ia oe. Alaila ai iho la au, a ua like ia iloko o kuu waha me ka meli i ka ono.

And he said unto me, Son of man, feed thy belly, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I am giving unto thee. And I ate it; and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.

4 Olelo mai la hoi oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hele oe i ka ohana a Iseraela, a e olelo aku i ka'u mau olelo ia lakou.

And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.

5 No ka mea, aole oe i hoounaia i kanaka lehelehe hohonu, me ka olelo paakiki, oka, i ka ohana a Iseraela;

For not to a people of an obscure speech and of a difficult tongue art thou sent, but to the house of Israel;

6 Aole i na lahuikanaka he nui, me ka lehelehe hohonu, a me ka olelo paakiki, a maopopo ole ia oe ka lakou mau huaolelo. Ina i hoouna aku au ia oe io lakou la, ina ua lohe lakou ia oe.

Not to many people of an obscure speech and of a difficult tongue, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would truly have hearkened unto thee.

7 Aka, aole e hoolohe ka ohana a Iseraela ia oe, no ka mea, aole lakou e hoolohe mai ia'u: no ka mea, ua pau ka ohana a Iseraela i ka hookano a me ka naau paakiki.

But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me; for all the house of Israel have a bold forehead, and a hard heart.

8 Eia hoi, ua hooolea au i kou wahi maka e ku e i ko lakou mau wahi maka, a me kou lae e ku e i ko lakou mau lae.

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

9 Me he daimana la a oi aku ka oolea mamua o ko ka pohakupaea i hana aku au i kou lae: mai makau aku ia lakou, mai pilihua hoi oe i ko lakou helehelena, no ka mea, he ohana kipi lakou.

As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: thou shalt not fear them, nor shalt thou be dismayed at their presence, though they be a rebellious family.

10 Olelo mai la hoi oia ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, o na huaolelo a pau a'u e olelo aku ai ia oe, oia kau e hookomo i kou naau, a e hoolohe hoi me kou mau pepeiao.

And he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I will speak unto thee receive in thy heart, and hear [them] with thy ears.

11 E eu oe e hele aku i ka poe pio i na keiki a kou poe kauaka, a e olelo aku ia lakou, a e hai aku ia lakou, Penei ka olelo ana a Iehova ka Haku; ina paha e lohe lakou, a ina paha e lohe ole lakou.

And go, get thee to those in exile, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal: whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

12 Alaila kaikai ae la ka uhane ia'u, a lohe iho la au mahope iho o'u i ka leo me he kamumu o ka hele nui ana la, e i ana, E hoomaikaiia'e ka nani o Iehova mai kona wahi ae;

Then a spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, [saying, ] Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place.

13 A me ke kamumu ana o na eheu o na mea ola i hoopa aku kekahi i kekahi, a me ke kamumu pu ana o na huila me lakou, a me ke kamumu ana o ka hele nui ana.

[I heard] also the sound of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the sound of the wheels at the same time with them, and the sound of a great rushing.

14 Kaikai ae la hoi ka uhane ia'u, a lawe aku ia'u, a hele au me ke kaumaha loa a me ka wela o ko'u uhane; aka, ua kau ikaika mai ka lima o Iehova maluna iho o'u.

So a spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I walked in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the inspiration of the Lord was strong upon me.

15 Alaila hele au i ka poe pio ma Telabiba, e noho ana ma ka muliwai Kebara, a noho iho la ma ko lakou wahi i noho ai, a noho pilihua no au malaila iwaena o lakou i na la ehiku.

Then came I to the exiles at Tel-abib, who dwelt by the river Kebar, and I remained where they dwelt, and I remained there in a state of confusion among them seven days.

16 Eia keia, i ka pau ana o na la ehiku, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,

And it came to pass at the end of seven days, That the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

17 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ua hoolilo au ia oe i kiai no ka ohana a Iseraela; nolaila e hoolohe i ka olelo ma kuu waha, a e ao aku ia lakou, na'u aku.

Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: and thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and give them warning from me.

18 Aia olelo aku au i ke kanaka hewa, E make io no oe; a ao ole aku oe ia ia, aole olelo ia ia e ao ia ia e haalele i kona aoao hewa, e hoola ia ia; e make no ua mea hewa la iloko o kona hewa; aka, e hoopai no au i kona koko ma kou lima.

When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou dost not give him warning, and speakest not to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life: the same wicked man shall die through his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

19 Aka, ina ao aku oe i ke kanaka hewa, aole nae ia i huli, mai kana hana hewa ana, aole hoi mai kona aoao hewa mai, e make no ia iloko o kona hewa; aka, ua hoopakele oe i kou uhane iho.

But thou, —if thou hast warned the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way: he shall indeed die in his iniquity; but thou hast surely delivered thy soul.

20 Eia hoi, ina i huli ae ke kanaka pono mai kona pono ae, a hana hoi ma ka hewa, a waiho iho au i ka mea e hina ai imua ona, e make no ia; no kau ao ole aku ia ia, iloko o kona hewa e make ai no ia, aole hoi e hoomanaoia kona pono ana i hana'i: aka, e hoopai aku au i kona koko ma kou lima.

Again, When a righteous man do turn from his righteousness, and do what is wrong: then will I lay a stumbling-block before him, [so that] he shall die; yet if thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his acts of righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require from thy hand.

21 Aka, ina i ao aku oe i ka mea pono, i ole e hana hewa, a hana hewa ole hoi ka mea pono, e ola io no ia, no ka mea, ua aoia'ku ai: a ua hoopakele hoi oe i kou uhane iho.

But if thou hast truly warned him, —the righteous, that the righteous should not sin, and he doth not sin: he shall surely live, because he attended to the warning, and thou hast surely delivered thy own soul.

22 A kau mai la ka lima o Iehova maluna o'u malaila; a olelo mai la oia ia'u, E ka oe iluna e hele aku i ka papu, a malaila e kamailio ai au me oe.

And the inspiration of the Lord came there over me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the valley, and there will I speak with thee.

23 Alaila ku ae la au iluna a hele aku la i ka papu, aia hoi, ku mai la ka nani o Iehova malaila, e like me ka nani a'u i ike ai ma ka muliwai Kebara a moe iho la au ilalo ke alo.

And I arose, and went forth into the valley; and, behold, there was the glory of the Lord standing, like that glory which I had seen by the river Kebar: and I fell down on my face.

24 Alaila komo mai la ka uhane iloko o'u, a hooku mai la ia'u ma kuu mau wawae, a kamailio me an, a i mai la la'u, E hele oe a papani ia oe iho iloko o kou hale;

Then entered a spirit into me, and placed me upright on my feet, and spoke with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself up within thy house.

25 Aka, o oe, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, ea, e kau lakou i kaula maluna ou, a e hoopaa lakou ia oe me ia, aole hoi oe o hele iwaho iwaena o lakou.

But thou, O son of man, behold, they put ropes upon thee, and bind thee with them, that thou canst not go out among them:

26 A e hoopili ae au i kou alelo i ke aluna o kou waha, a e lilo oe i mea leo ole, aole hoi oe he mea ao aku ia lakou; no ka mea, he ohana kipi lakou.

And I will let thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not become to them a man who reproveth; for they are a rebellious family.

27 Aka, i ka wa e olelo aku ai au ia oe, e wehe au i kou waha, a e olelo aku oe ia lakou. Ke i mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, O ka mea lohe, e lohe ia, a o ka mea hoolohe ole, e hoolohe ole no ia; no ka mea, he ohana kipi lakou.

But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forebear; for they are a rebellious family.
