Ehekiera 35

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

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata ki Maunga Heira, poropititia te he mo reira,

Son of man, set thy face against the mountain of Se'ir, and prophecy against it,

3 Mea atu hoki ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, hei hoariri ahau mou, e Maunga Heira, a ka totoro atu toku ringa ki a koe, ka ururua rawa koe i ahau, ka meinga hoki hei miharotanga.

And say unto it, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will be against thee, O mountain of Se'ir, and I will stretch out my hand over thee, and I will render thee desolate and wasted.

4 Ko ou pa ka tuhea i ahau, a hei ururua koe, a ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau.

Thy cities will I lay in ruins, and thou thyself shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

5 No te mea he mauahara mau tonu tou, a kua tukua e koe nga tama a Iharaira ki te kaha o te hoari i te wa o to ratou aitua, i te wa o te he i te mutunga.

Because thou hast had an undying hatred, and didst surrender the children of Israel to the power of the sword, at the time of their calamity, at the time of the iniquity of the end:

6 Mo reira, e ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ka mahia koe e ahau hei mea mo te toto, ka whaia ano koe e te toto; kihai na koe i kino ki te toto, na ka whaia koe e te toto.

Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Eternal, I will surely let thy blood flow, and blood shall pursue thee; since thou didst not hate blood-shedding, so shall blood pursue thee.

7 Heoi ka meinga e ahau a Maunga Heira hei matakitakinga, hei ururua; a ka hatepea atu e ahau te tangata e tika ana na reira, te tangata ano e hoki mai ana.

Thus will I change the mountain of Se'ir into a desolate land and a waste, and I will cut off from it him that travelleth forward and backward.

8 A ka whakakiia e ahau ona maunga ki ona tupapaku: a, ko te hunga e patua ki te hoari, ka hinga ki ou pukepuke, ki ou awaawa, ki ou rerenga wai katoa.

And I will fill his mountains with his slain: as regardeth thy hills, and thy valleys, and all thy ravines, in them shall fall those that are slain by the sword.

9 Ka ururua koe i ahau a ake ake; e kore ano ou pa e nohoia, a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.

Into perpetual desolations will I change thee, and thy cities shall not be restored: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

10 Na, kua mea na koe, Ko enei iwi e rua, ko enei whenua e rua moku, mo tatou tonu hoki; i te mea kei reira nei ano a Ihowa;

Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall indeed be mine, and we will take possession thereof; whereas the Lord was there:

11 Mo reira, e ora ana ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa, ko taku mahi ka rite ki tou riri, ki tou hae, i hae ai koe i a koe i mauahara ra ki a ratou; a ka whakakitea atu ahau ki a ratou, ina rite i ahau te whakawa mou.

Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thy anger, and according to thy envy which thou didst use out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I judge thee.

12 Na ka mohio koe ko Ihowa ahau, a kua rangona e ahau au kohukohu katoa i korerotia e koe mo nga maunga o Iharaira, i a koe i ki ra, Kua ururua, kua homai hei kai ma tatou.

And thou shalt know that I am the Lord: I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given unto us to consume them.

13 A kua whakakake mai o koutou mangai ki ahau, kua whakamaha i a koutou kupu moku: kua rongo ahau.

And ye boasted greatly against me with your mouth, and have multiplied against me your words: I have indeed heard them.

14 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; A te wa e koa ai te whenua katoa, ka ururua koe i ahau.

Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

15 I koa na koe ki te kainga o te whare o Iharaira, kua ururua na, ka pena ano ahau ki a koe: ka ururua koe, e Maunga Heira, e Eroma katoa, ae ra, katoa; a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.

As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was made desolate: so will I do unto thee; desolate shalt thou be, O mountain of Se'ir, and all Idumea—altogether; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
