Ezequiel 13

Ka Whakahētia ngā Poropiti Teka

1 I puta mai anō te kupu a Ihowā ki ahau, i mea: 2 "E te tama a te tangata, poropititia he hē mō ngā poropiti o Īharaira e poropiti nei, mea atu hoki ki te hunga nō ō rātou ngākau tā rātou e poropiti nei: ‘Whakarongo ki te kupu a Ihowā! 3 Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Auē te mate mō ngā poropiti wairangi, e whai nei i ō rātou wairua ake, ā, kīhai i kite i tētahi mea! 4 I rite tonu ōu poropiti, e Īharaira, ki ngā pokiha i ngā wāhi koraha. 5 Kīhai koutou i haere ki ngā wāhi pakaru, kīhai anō i hangā i te taiepa mō te whare o Īharaira, hei tūranga i te tatauranga i te rā o Ihowā. 6 He kitenga teka, he tūāhu horihori tā rātou e kī rā, "E ai tā Ihowā," ehara rātou i a Ihowā i unga; ā, kua meinga e rātou te tangata kia tūmanako, tērā e mana te kupu. 7 He teka ianei he kitenga teka tā koutou kitenga, he horihori te tūāhu i kōrero ai koutou, i kī ai, "E kī ana a Ihowā," ā, kīhai nei ahau i kōrero?

8 " ‘Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Kua kōrero nā koutou i te teka, kua kite i te horihori, mō reira he hoariri tēnei ahau mō koutou, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā. 9 Ka pā anō tōku ringa ki ngā poropiti he horihori nei tā rātou kitenga, ki ngā tohunga tūāhu teka. E kore rātou e noho ki te rūnanga o tāku iwi, e kore e tuhituhia ki te tuhituhinga o te whare o Īharaira, e kore anō e tae ki te whenua o Īharaira; ā, ka mōhio koutou ko te Ariki ahau, ko Ihowā.

10 " ‘Mō rātou, āe rā, mō rātou i whakapōhēhē i tāku iwi, i mea, "Ka mau te rongo," i te mea kāhore he maunga rongo; nā, ko tētahi kei te hanga i te pakitara, ā, ko rātou hei pani ki te paru kīhai i kōnatunatua. 11 Mea atu ki ngā kaipani o te paru kīhai i kōnatunatua, tērā e hinga; ka puta te ua, he waipuke; ka taka iho anō koutou, e ngā nganga o te whatu; ka wāhia anō hoki e te hau, e te paroro. 12 Nanā, ka hinga te pakitara, kāhore rānei he kī ki a koutou, "Kei hea te paninga i pania rā e koutou?"

13 " ‘Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Inā, ka wāhia e ahau ki te hau, ki te paroro, i tōku weriweri; ka puta anō te ua, te waipuke, i tōku riri, me ngā nganga anō o te whatu i tōku weriweri, hei whakapoto rawa. 14 Ka pakaru pērā i ahau te pakitara i pania rā e koutou ki te paru kīhai i kōnatunatua, pā tonu iho ki te whenua, ka whakakitea anō ōna tūranga. Ā, ka hinga, ka poto anō koutou ki waenganui o taua pakitara; ā, ka mōhio koutou ko Ihowā ahau. 15 Ka whakapaua pērātia e ahau tōku weriweri ki te pakitara, ki te hunga anō nāna i pani ki te paru kīhai i kōnatunatua; ka mea hoki ahau ki a koutou, "Kua kore te pakitara, kua kore anō te hunga nāna i pani – 16 arā ngā poropiti o Īharaira mō Hiruhārama nei tā rātou e poropiti ai, e kite nei i te kitenga mōna, i te rongo mau, i te mea kāhore he rongo mau, e ai tā te Ariki, tā Ihowā." ’

17 "Nā, ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, anga atu tōu mata ki ngā tamāhine a tōu iwi e poropiti nei, he mea nō ō rātou ngākau ake; poropititia anō he hē mō rātou, 18 mea atu: Ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Auē te mate mō ngā wāhine e tuitui urunga ana ki ngā tuke katoa; e hanga ārai ana mō ngā māhunga o te roa, o te poto, hei whai wairua! Ka whai rānei koutou i ngā wairua o tāku iwi? Ka whakaora rānei i ētahi he wairua mā koutou? 19 Kua whakapokea ahau e koutou i waenga i tāku iwi hei utu mō ngā kutanga pārei, mō ngā kongakonga taro, hei whakamate i ngā wairua e kore e tika kia whakamatea, hei whakaora i ngā wairua e kore e tika kia ora, i a koutou ka kōrero teka nā ki tāku iwi e whakarongo nei ki ā koutou kōrero teka.

20 "Mō reira ko te kupu tēnei a te Ariki, a Ihowā: Nanā, e hē ana ahau ki ō koutou urunga i whāia ai ngā wairua e koutou i reira, i meinga ai kia rere, ka haea atu anō e ahau i ō koutou ringa. Ka tukua anō e ahau ngā wairua kia haere, ā koutou wairua e whai nā, e mea nā kia rere. 21 Ka haea atu anō e ahau ō koutou ārai, ka whakaorangia hoki tāku iwi i roto i ō koutou ringa; e kore anō e waiho i ō koutou ringa hei whāinga atu; ā, ka mōhio koutou ko Ihowā ahau. 22 Nō te mea kua whakapōuritia e koutou ki te kupu teka te ngākau o te tangata tika, kīhai nei i whakapōuritia e ahau; ā, whakaūngia ana ngā ringa o te tangata kino, i kore ai e tahuri mai i tōna ara kino, kia ora ai. 23 Mō reira e kore koutou e kite i te horihori ā muri ake nei, i ngā tikanga rānei ki ngā tūāhu; ā, ka whakaorangia hoki e ahau tāku iwi i roto i ō koutou ringa; ā, ka mōhio koutou ko Ihowā ahau."

1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Jehovah: 3 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! 4 O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in the waste places. 5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of Jehovah. 6 They have seen falsehood and lying divination, that say, Jehovah saith; but Jehovah hath not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed. 7 Have ye not seen a false vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, in that ye say, Jehovah saith; albeit I have not spoken?

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord Jehovah. 9 And my hand shall be against the prophets that see false visions, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah. 10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and when one buildeth up a wall, behold, they daub it with untempered mortar: 11 say unto them that daub it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it. 12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it? 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it. 14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. 15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered mortar; and I will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it; 16 to wit, the prophets of Israel that prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord Jehovah.

17 And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them, 18 and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the women that sew pillows upon all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves? 19 And ye have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hearken unto lies.

20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. 21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. 22 Because with lies ye have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad, and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive; 23 Therefore ye shall no more see false visions, nor divine divinations: and I will deliver my people out of your hand; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
