Ehekiera 35

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

Moreover the word of the LORD came to 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 mount Seir, and prophesy 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 to it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I [am] against thee, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.

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

I will lay thy cities waste, and thou 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 a perpetual hatred, and hast shed [the blood of] the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time [that their] iniquity [had] an 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 GOD, I will prepare thee to blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall 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 make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.

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 [men]: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with 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.

I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: 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 be mine, and we will possess it; 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 hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged 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, [and that] I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

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

Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have 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 saith the Lord GOD; 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 at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, [even] all of it: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
