Ehekiera 7

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

And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'And thou, son of man, Thus said the Lord Jehovah to the ground of Israel:

2 Na, e koe, e te tama a te tangata, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa, ki te whenua o Iharaira: He whakamutunga! kua tae mai te whakamutunga ki nga pito e wha o te whenua.

An end, come hath the end on the four corners of the land.

3 Ko aianei te whakamutunga mou, ka tukua atu e ahau toku riri ki runga ki a koe, ka rite ano ki ou ara taku whakarite mou; ka hoatu ano e ahau au mea whakarihariha katoa ki runga ki a koe.

Now [is] the end unto thee, And I have sent Mine anger upon thee, And judged thee according to thy ways, And set against thee all thine abominations.

4 E kore ano toku kanohi e manawapa ki a koe, e kore ahau e tohu: engari ka hoatu e ahau te utu o ou ara ki a koe; ka mau hoki au mea whakarihariha ki roto i a koe, a ka mohio koutou ko Ihowa ahau.

And no pity on thee hath Mine eye, nor do I spare, For thy ways against thee I do set, And thine abominations are in thy midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

5 Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: He kino! he kino kotahi! nana, te haere mai nei.

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Evil, a single evil, lo, it hath come.

6 He whakamutunga kua tae mai, kua tae mai te whakamutunga, kei te oho ki a koe; nana, e haere mai nei.

An end hath come, come hath the end, It hath waked for thee, lo, it hath come.

7 Ko te mea kua rite mou, tenei kua tae mai, e te tangata o te whenua: kua tae mai te wa, kua tata te ra; he ra no te ngangau, ehara i te ra o te umere harakoa i runga o nga maunga.

Come hath the morning unto thee, O inhabitant of the land! Come hath the time, near [is] a day of trouble, And not the shouting of mountains.

8 Akuanei ka tata te ringihia e ahau toku weriweri ki runga ki a koe, ka whakapaua e ahau toku riri ki a koe, ka rite ano ki ou ara taku whakarite mou; ka hoatu ano e ahau he utu ki a koe mo au mea whakarihariha katoa.

Now, shortly I pour out My fury on thee, And have completed Mine anger against thee, And judged thee according to thy ways, And set against thee all thine abominations.

9 E kore ano toku kanohi e manawapa, e kore ahau e tohu; ka rite ki ou ara taku e hoatu ai ki a koe, ka mau ano au mea whakarihariha ki waenganui i a koe; a ka mohio koutou e whiu ana ano ahau, a Ihowa.

And not pity doth Mine eye, nor do I spare, According to thy ways unto thee I give, And thine abominations are in thy midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah the smiter.

10 Nana, te ra; nana, kua tae mai: kua puta te mea ku rite mou; kua puawai te tokotoko, kua kopuku te whakapehapeha.

Lo, the day, lo, it hath come, Gone forth hath the morning, Blossomed hath the rod, flourished the pride.

11 Kua ara te tutu hei tokotoko mo te kino: e kore e toe tetahi o ratou, tetahi ranei o to ratou mano, o o ratou taonga ranei; kahore ano hoki he arikitanga i roto i a ratou.

The violence hath risen to a rod of wickedness, There is none of them, nor of their multitude, Nor of their noise, nor is there wailing for them.

12 Kua tae mai te wa, kua tata te ra: kaua te kaihoko mai e koa; kaua ano te kaihoko atu e pouri: no te mea ka pa te riri ki tona mano katoa.

Come hath the time, arrived hath the day, The buyer doth not rejoice, And the seller doth not become a mourner, For wrath [is] unto all its multitude.

13 No te mea ahakoa i te ora raua, e kore te tangata i te utu e hoki atu ki te mea i hokona; mo ona mano katoa hoki te whakakitenga, e kore ratou e hoki; e kore ano tetahi e whakakaha i a ia i runga i tona he i ana mahi i a ia e ora ana.

For the seller to the sold thing turneth not, And yet among the living [is] their life, For the vision [is] unto all its multitude, It doth not turn back, And none by his iniquity doth strengthen his life.

14 Kua whakatangihia e ratou te tetere, a kua whakaritea nga mea katoa; heoi kahore he tangata e haere ana ki te whawhai; no te mea kei runga toku riri i ona mano katoa.

They have blown with a trumpet to prepare the whole, And none is going to battle, For My wrath [is] unto all its multitude.

15 I waho ko te hoari, i roto ko te mate uruta, ko te hemokai. Ko te tangata i te parae ka mate i te hoari; ko te tangata i te pa ka pau i te hemokai, i te mate uruta.

The sword [is] without, And the pestilence and the famine within, He who is in a field by sword dieth, And he who is in a city, Famine and pestilence devour him.

16 Ko nga morehu o ratou e mawhiti, ka mawhiti, a ka noho ki nga maunga, ka rite ki nga kukupa o nga awaawa, tumutumu katoa ratou i runga i tona he, i tona he.

And escaped away have their fugitives, And they have been on the mountains As doves of the valleys, All of them make a noising — each for his iniquity.

17 Ka ngoikore katoa nga ringa, a ka ngonge nga turi ano he wai.

All the hands are feeble, and all knees go — waters.

18 Ka whitikiria ano he kakahu taratara ki a ratou, ka taupokina ratou e te wehi; he whakama kei nga mata katoa, a i runga i o ratou mahunga katoa ko te pakira.

And they have girded on sackcloth, And covered them hath trembling, And unto all faces [is] shame, And on all their heads — baldness.

19 Ka maka e ratou ta ratou hiriwa ki nga ara, ka waiho ta ratou koura hei mea poke; e kore ta ratou hiriwa, ta ratou koura, e tau hei whakaora i a ratou i te ra o to Ihowa riri; e kore e ngata o ratou wairua, e kore ano e ki o ratou puku i era: ko te tutukitanga waewae hoki tera i he ai ratou.

Their silver into out-places they cast, And their gold impurity becometh. Their silver and their gold is not able to deliver them, In a day of the wrath of Jehovah, Their soul they do not satisfy, And their bowels they do not fill, For the stumbling-block of their iniquity it hath been.

20 Na, ko te ataahua o tona whakapaipai, nana i whakawhiwhi ki te kororia: heoi hanga ana e ratou nga ahua o a ratou mea anuanu, o a ratou mea whakarihariha ki reira: no reira meinga iho e ahau hei mea poke ki a ratou.

As to the beauty of his ornament, For excellency He set it, And the images of their abominations, Their detestable things — they made in it, Therefore I have given it to them for impurity,

21 Ka tukua ano e ahau hei taonga parakete ki te ringa o nga tangata ke, ki nga tangata kino o te whenua, hei taonga parau; a ka whakapokea e ratou.

And I have given it into the hand of the strangers for a prey, And to the wicked of the land for a spoil, And they have polluted it.

22 Ka tahuri atu ano toku mata i a ratou, a ka whakapokea e ratou toku wahi ngaro; ka tae mai ano nga kaipahua ki reira whakapoke ai.

And I have turned My face from them, And they have polluted My hidden place, Yea, come into it have destroyers, and polluted it.

23 Hanga he mekameka: kua ki hoki te whenua i nga he whakaheke toto; ki tonu hoki te pa i te tutu.

Make the chain; for the land Hath been full of bloody judgments, And the city hath been full of violence.

24 Mo reira ka kawea mai e ahau nga tauiwi kino rawa, a ka riro o ratou whare i a ratou; ka mutu ano i ahau te whakapehapeha o te hunga kaha, ka whakapokea o ratou wahi tapu.

And I have brought in the wicked of the nations, And they have possessed their houses, And I have caused to cease the excellency of the strong, And polluted have been those sanctifying them.

25 Kei te haere mai te whakangaromanga; ka rapua e ratou te rangimarie; heoi kahore noa iho.

Destruction hath come, And they have sought peace, and there is none.

26 Ka tae mai te aitua ki runga ki te aitua, te rongo ki runga ki te rongo: a ka rapua e ratou ta te poropiti whakakitenga; heoi ka whakakahoretia te ture i te tohunga, te whakaaro i nga kaumatua.

Mischief on mischief cometh, and report is on report, And they have sought a vision from a prophet, And law doth perish from the priest, And counsel from the elders,

27 Ka tangi te kingi, ko te ngaromanga hoki he kakahu mo te rangatira, ka ohooho ano nga ringa o te iwi o te whenua; ka rite ki o ratou ara taku e mea ai ki a ratou, kei a ratou ritenga ano hoki he ritenga mo taku whakawa i a ratou; a ka mohio rato u ko Ihowa ahau.

The king doth become a mourner, And a prince putteth on desolation, And the hands of the people of the land are troubled, From their own way I deal with them, And with their own judgments I judge them, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!'
