Ehekiera 6

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

The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

2 E te tama a te tangata, anga atu tou mata ki nga maunga o Iharaira, ka poropiti ki a ratou,

"Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,

3 Ka mea atu, E nga maunga o Iharaira, whakarongo ki te kupu a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa ki nga maunga, ki nga pukepuke, ki nga awa, ki nga raorao: Tenei ahau, ahau nei ano, te kawe nei i te hoari ki runga ki a koutou, a ka kore i ahau o koutou wahi tiketike.

and say, 'You mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah: Thus says Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: "Look, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.

4 Ka whakaururuatia a koutou aata, ka tukitukia a koutou whakapakoko: a ka maka e ahau ki mua i a koutou whakapakoko o koutou tangata i whakamatea.

Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

5 Ka takoto ano i ahau nga tinana o nga tama a Iharaira ki mua i a ratou whakapakoko; ka titaria ano e ahau o koutou wheua ki a koutou aata a taka noa.

I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.

6 I o koutou nohoanga katoa ka ururuatia nga pa, ka mokemoke ano nga wahi tiketike, he mea kia ururuatia ai a koutou aata, kia mokemoke ai; kia tukitukia ai ano a koutou whakapakoko, mutu ake ta ratou; ka poutoa ano a koutou whakapakoko, kia whakak ahoretia ai hoki a koutou mahi.

In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

7 Ka hinga ano te parekura i roto i a koutou; a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.

The slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

8 Ka toe ano ia i ahau etahi, kia mawhiti ai etahi o koutou i te hoari i roto i nga iwi, ina titaria atu koutou ki nga whenua.

"'"Yet will I leave a remnant, in that you shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries.

9 Na, ko te hunga o koutou e mawhiti, ka mahara ratou ki ahau i roto i nga iwi e whakaraua atu ai ratou, ki taku pakaruhanga i to ratou ngakau puremu, kua mawehe atu nei i ahau, me o ratou kanohi hoki, e haere nei ki te puremu ki o ratou whakapakok o: a anuanu iho ratou ki a ratou ano mo nga kino i mahia nei e ratou, mo a ratou mea whakarihariha katoa.

Those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations where they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

10 Ka mohio hoki ratou ko Ihowa ahau; ehara ano taku i te mea noa iho i taku kianga ka mahia tenei kino ki a ratou.

They shall know that I am Jehovah: I have not said in vain that I would bring this disaster on them."'"

11 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, papaki tou ringa, takahi iho tou waewae, me te ki ake ano, Aue, te mate mo nga kino whakarihariha katoa o te whare o Iharaira! ka hinga hoki ratou i te hoari, i te hemokai, i te mate uruta.

"Thus says Jehovah: 'Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, "Alas." because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

12 Ko te tangata i tawhiti ka mate i te mate uruta; ko te tangata e tata ana ka hinga i te hoari; ko te tangata e toe ana, e whakapaea ana, ka mate i te hemokai: na ka whakapaua e ahau toku riri ki a ratou.

He who is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he who is near shall fall by the sword; and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath on them.

13 A ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau, ina takoto o ratou tangata i patua i waenganui o a ratou whakapakoko i tetahi taha o a ratou aata, i tetahi taha, i runga i nga pukepuke tiketike katoa, i runga i nga tihi katoa o nga maunga, i raro ano i nga rak au kouru nui katoa, i raro i nga oki pururu katoa, i te wahi i tukua atu ai e ratou te kakara reka ki a ratou whakapakoko katoa.

You shall know that I am Jehovah, when their slain men shall be among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered pleasant aroma to all their idols.

14 Ka totoro atu hoki toku ringa ki a ratou, a ka meinga te whenua kia ururua, kia takoto kau, i te koraha e anga ana ki Ripirata, puta noa i o ratou nohoanga: a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.

I will stretch out my hand on them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Riblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am Jehovah."'"
